Re: 734 speedster sedan project

Fred, I believe I've seen your speedster, it's orange correct? Very sexy car indeed. I would very much appreciate any photots you could take of its underside. I think your also correct about the long fenders however I've never seen a set for sale at any price much less a price I can afford. I did a profile drawing of the 726/733/734 and my proposed creation and I don't think the 733 fenders I already have detract much from the cars appearance.

West, there are a couple of affordable 726's on the market right now however I can't bring myself to chop up another Packard for the sake of this project. If I get to the point where I have a fully restored chassis and no body to put on it I'll simply turn it in to a one-off runabout. I'd rather have a sedan so I can take the wife and kids with me though.

Thanks guys
Todd

P.S. I've attached a comparison drawing of the different models in profile:
