Old Gold Chops another Packard

I met Old Gold on here he had a thread "flippin the lid on my packard" that got my attention he turned his 4 door packard into a chopped 2 door so this thread is Old Gold from Damaged Goods customs in Bay City chopping my packard and converting it into a 2 door.

 

Here are some pics from the first week.

 

Very cool.

 

Heres some more pics.

 

to cool i dig threads about fabrication and chopping

 

Great work dude. What are you doing with the rear wrap around glass, did you sink the tray down, or are you shaving down the existing glass ?

 

I'm using another window from a packard 200 you can see the frame in some of the rear shots.

 

lookin good!

Wow!! What a cool transition, I love Packards and your front end is one of the coolest they made. Best wishes on a great outcome!! Bitchin!! ~Sololobo~

 

Love it! Is the new front quarter section just part of the old rear door? How bout the door post? The original 4- door post?

 

Yeah the new rear quarter section in the rear door cut shorter and the center post/b pillar was moved back and welded in. Later the front doors will be stretched to fill the gap.

 

Looking very nice, will keep an eye on this one.

 

Heres some new pics the drivers doors almost done.

 

More pics she's looking sweet

 

That really looks great.

 

I have to agree. Well done.

 

Great job man!!! It looks killer!!!

 

Very cool, I have a friend that has a 51 Packard 4 door like yours, he would never chop it up! He is more of a resto pussy! hahahahahaha! I am going to send him a link to this just to hear what he has to say about it. I love messing with the resto guys!

 

more pics the drivers side is about done, troy even rounded the door.

 

It takes a man to cut a packard up, you surely are. nice work.
from a -55 clipper custom owner.

 

I love absolutely everything about this. The roofline is going to have a perfect flow with the canted B pillars. There are no early 50's 4 doors that wouldn't benefit from modifications like this. And very beautifully done, too.

Did the extra door pieces come from some donor Packard doors, or are they fabbed, or?

 

I had some doors that were from a 52 2 door Packard but the doors on the 4 door were in alot better shape so we cut strips out of one of the 2 doors and exstended the original doors on the car.

 

It's getting there

 

What a great car to do this with, workmanship looks awesome.

 

The back window is almost done.

 

Heres some work done on the pass door

 

looking great!!

 

wow,,,,,,,,,,,,what a difference,,it looks awesome !!!
