I had a very busy summer this year and didn't have a lot of time to work on the Packard. We bought a log cabin in Northern Michigan and have been up there almost every weekend fishing, canoeing and putting in a new bathroom. I did buy some more woodworking tools though and soon I will be able to start on building a new wooden body. I have been playing around with the Packards final design a bit and I got tired of all the straight lines in the typical late twenties and early thirties wood bodied cars. In order to bring some style in to the woodwork I swept back the rear of the wagon and added a curve to the front. The results give the car a speedier look I think. Here are a couple of renderings I did with AutoCad (below). I created the computer model mostly so I can print it out at work; we just got a 3D printer and I plan on creating the woodwork in resin before I start cutting wood.
