Restoring 1926 2dr. 236
Looking for a wood kit .
Anyone have a source for wood kits ?
Thanks
Rick

I'm not aware that any wood kits have ever been made and offered for any year Packard. You might however find someone with the same model and body style who might have made some extra pieces, or has patterns.

O-D is correct, there has never been a wood "kit" made. I would however suggest Mister Geppetto, a master woodcarver to consider working on your car.
Seriously, best to get with someone who has worked on ANY pre-35 automobile to understand what can, and cannot be precise, or imprecise. For example, door jams and surrounds probably need to be pretty accurate, whereas basis reinforcements, which also frame out for upholstery backers can be much less precise...There is nothing about the project that is specific to Packard. There are a couple wood frame body general restoration books out there too...

Good luck on your project.
