It ain't grey hair, it's chrome!
Some pics of the body after disassembly for cleanup and in bare metal. I had the inside and doorjambs sandblasted and scraped, sanded and wirebrushed the rest of it clean and ready for bondo.
I don't think that roof line and rear quarter window lend themselves to being chopped too well, I like yours with a stock roof.
Not to get critical, but I would try and drop the back end down over the wheels more like the black one you posted on the first post, if that's possible. But that's just me. Other than that, I really like the body style, very nice.
Dang, one nice Packard. Are you planning on comming down to the Spokane Good Guys in August?
I thought I liked the 2 tone and was going to suggest an Indigo Blue or Canary Yellow strip to separate the colors. And then you mentioned a hidious turtle and that did it for me also.
Black's definately where it's at. Now that's a nice car.
I'm like you when it comes to the painter screwing up.
My '50 Studie was shot with Sunset Orange Carizzma which has a chip in it that flips in the sunlight. The paint gun has to be held straight up and down and you cannot cock your wrist back and forth, you have to lock your wrist and move your whole body down the car. The painter, painted my car in pieces, doors, front clip, and trunk lid off. When he came to the front door post he turned the gun sideways to spray up and down which made the chip stand horizontally instead of vertical which in turn made the door post a different hue when the front clip and doors were installed. At $1200 / gal. x two, I was not impressed. The painter has agreed to reshoot the car at his expense.
Looks great. One question, what brand of wheels are you using. You also said they were 18 in front and 20 in back. What are the dimensions, including the backspacing? I love them.
