  6. This is the coolest build I have witnessed in a long long time. Thank you for preserving the beautiful graceful swan hood decor. To go outside the box and save a wonderful piece of automotive history is admirable. The car is stunning and very appealing, fab work. ~sololobo~

    Very, nice, great job on that. 600hp ought to be enough for that.

    Let's see some more of the Studebaker truck in the background there too if you don't mind.

    Thanks guys! We really appreciate the compliments. We had quite a few "doubters" throughout the entire build. Now that it is back on the ground, most are pretty impressed. Some still question why a Packard though? Oh well.... here are some more pictures in no logical order.

    and the Studebaker... personal projects always get the back seat. Will be on the road this spring!

  16. Way cool and then some. Looks like you had something good to start with, love the clean uncluttered look, how about some interior shots? Bet it goes like the proverbial scalded dog.

    It's waiting for the interior shop to free up some room. I will make sure to post some pictures when it's completely done.
