Thanks for your positive comments fellas, it really helps to have your feedback! I must admit that as the project moves on (slowly)I'm getting more enthusiastic about it. I'm sure you have all looked back on your own projects that took years and thought: 'I wonder how I got this far'? That happens to me.

Have to agree Bobby, the scalloped shape of the hood seems clever and really appeals, and since starting on prepping the trunk lid (- those reversing curves are tricky to get right) there's a lot of appreciation for its shape also. Big, bulbous and beautiful all come to mind.

Packards never seem to look ordinary despite their vintage, but a lot of moderns date quite badly and some don't seem to ever have much appeal. Maybe they need more time for that to happen.

I've not seen any Packard shape from 20's on that I personally didn't like. They all impress me in various ways, some a bit more than others.
