You'd better put lipstick and stockings on with that hat, or I'll be disappointed...

I better i pm those photos. To not causing a mass vomiting around USA ;D

Yeah we don't want Jay's Forum to be put on a blacklist  :o  It will be the first Google result for a "Men in tight stockings" search...
A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.

Very nice bodywork.
Love those old Packards.
A lot of people don't know that Rolls Royce licensed the Packard front suspension in the 30's and used it into the 50's.
Thats how they got their smooth ride.
That takes some time but looks like it was done right.

Agree with all, it's definitely gorgeous!  Love the color combo too.  What colors are you planning for the top and interior?  A guy near me is a big Stutz collector so I've seen how big cars of that era can be.

The color combo is actualy from a 7th series Boat tail speedster, concept/Showcar
The first known metallic paint. That one had a bright red chassie but dad thought
that was to much. But you could order your Packard whith your choice of chassi colour
The interior will be leather in the same colour as the fenders and the top will be
Canvas in the same colour plus the sparewheel covers and there will be a red
pinstripe on the bead  or what it is called along the body

Today we got the parts of the hood  the painter was not satisfied with
last time. So now we can put the hood together and adjust the radiator/grillshell
This afternoon i made new wires inside the headlights. tailights up next
After that its just the rear fenders to mount after we get them painted
get someone to make a top and the corona to end so the Finish guy can
mount the rest of the upholstry
