I don't think my response is overly hostile considering that a Packard is shown being cut up into a street rod amongst a garage full of unfinished street rods.

I wouldn't expect a pleasant response if I were to go to the ThunderBird forum and show pictures of a Chevy engine being dropped into a T-Bird.

The fact of the matter is that most street rods end up junked. This site is about preservation not destruction. If a car can't be saved that is a sad thing for the people here. But is it realistic to expect people here not to be disturbed by seeing Packards cut up and turned into junk street rods?

May I add that if you sample some of my other entries on the subject I am not an intransigent purist. I simply cannot conclude otherwise that this particular project will lead to anything positive.
