should i?

i have a 1956 packard clipper super 4 door and i dont have the money to fix it and sell it i could sell it in the hundred of pieces it is in or i got an idea to make it a g***er put a stright axle under it and put a big block olds and a 4 speed is this a good ides i have never seen it and i kinda want to keep it but i dont know if it would look good i think it would look ***s in red primer with white wall pie crust slicks in the back but what do i know so let me know is it a go or a no

 

Sounds like a no
Build something you love

 

So, if you don't have the money to fix it, where are you going to get the money to build it into a "g***er" ????? Besides, a huge 4 door car generally defeats the "g***er" purpose....there were some, no doubt, but not many.

Start by fixing one piece at a time......start cleaning one of the hundred pieces, the re***emble it to another cleaned piece....and so on.........

 

You already answered your own question , NO !

Keep what you have and go from there . You just don't take a Packard and chop it all up to make it into a awful looking g***er ! That is just plain wrong !
The Packard would make a real nice cruiser . Drive it for a while and then get something else . You have to start someplace and you already have a good car so why not just work with what you have instead of piecing it all out and having pieces of worthless junk laying around that you couldn't sell . You will regret it in the long run . Either fix what you have or sell it and start over but don't try to make a g***er out of a Packard !

Put it back together, sell it, buy something that makes sense as a g***er.

Manual trans or auto in the Packard now?

 

I'll take the engine.

 

You going to trade him a big sack of punctuation for it?

 

LOL, I was just thinking that. It took two times through to figure out what the hell he was trying to say.

 

Too much texting will ruin your ability to communicate!

 

the g***er gods are plenty angry..please don't mock them

 

I'd like to buy 2 periods and 3 commas, please.

 

Jeezzzz, I'm still trying to punctuate this enough to read it.

 

Kids today.

 

A '56 Packard 4dr as a g***er is a pretty far stretch

 

Take these answers as a collective "NO". You will be going backwards...

 

But doable if properly planned.

 

I was going to build a square bodied airplane with swept back wings and Model A engine to compete in a super sonic speed contest.

 

no me . way to many periods over here!

 

A 4dr Packard g***er aint even close to ol'skool, Youngun. Ya need to do a little research before ya start wasting the money you don't even have. Oh, and ya might want to wait a few years until yer old enough to legally drink that PBR.

 

I don't think so

 

"Putting money into it to sell it" is rarely a good idea. Rare indeed, will the investment return to you in kind.
