I love the paint scheme (not so much the orange, though) on this one. Just the way the two tone was done.

Thanks Wes,
I’m spending two weeks with some awesome friends no their boat in St Thomas USVI. This place was devastated by two hurricanes this year. So I’m getting to help out... I love to build stuff. When I get home I’ll be finishing the rear fenders and making the connection between the supercharger and the carburetor. Below are some pictures of the new Fluidaper harmonic balancer with the pulley on the OD, the supercharger mounted with the custom aluminum brackets complete with the double v-belts in place.

I enjoy watching your project and I'm absolutely (Packard) green with envy about your craftsmanship

I'm talking a break from the project for a vacation with my family... I'm having withdrawal symptoms... maybe next week I can slip in the back door of the Cussler museum and get a close look at their 1930 Packard boat tail speedster.

@Rodbuilder, how's this project coming? I was enjoying this build. Just wondering how this Packard is coming.
