Features My ’51 Packard old school kustom, 12 years of building

Hello. Primer Magazine made a nice interview on YouTube. I'm here telling about my hot rod build and my Packard. Sorry, it's in Finnish.

 

Finnish is almost like Norwegian which is almost like English so basically I don't know what you're saying in the video.

 

Bravo sir.

 

Yea, I didn’t understand a word but it was still cool.

 

@guthriesmith hsving viewed roughly 8 billion hours of hot rod videos on you tube allow me a lose translation.

we are at a hot rodders shop, he builds cool stuff

hey hot rodder! Cool stuff!

thanks, it used to be garbage now it’s almost a car

awesome man!

yeah it was a lot of work, please see example of hard work and frustration here and here.

cool!

cool!

 

LOL!!! Pretty sure that is a close translation from what I know as well.

 

Thanks for posting. Esp liked the side-window solution, might help me w/a problem-idea for a long-dormant project. . Dropping the backgl*** into the catwalk-well is an excellent solution for using oem gl***, the technique has been around for a long time, glad to see it used, mentioned & shown.
Going custom on a car that's rotted-out is a very good idea, may as well, gotta do the work one-way or another... .

Beautiful!
Kaunis!
Vakker!

 

Finally new paint in trunk lid!

 

What a kool ride, on my favorite Packard list.

 

Fifties Packards are not pretty. You exemplified why you customize certain cars a certain way. Great job.

 

Thanks for bringing this car and it's history to the HAMB. I'm a big fan of Packards and this is a great one.

 

All the mods on this car are tasty and well done. I particularly enjoy the front end. With the gray color, low stance and that front end, the car looks like a big ol' cat fish which I think is very cool!!!
