Re: Stewart's 1955 Packard 400

I have been spending most of my time sanding on the body lately. I'm also repairing rust on my 87 GMC truck so I can sell it in the spring. They are sitting 4 feet apart and I go back and forth constantly.
Started cutting on one of the fenders this week. Replacing some rusted out areas and still have more to do. I did repair that brace the outer skin, I just forgot to to take a picture of it. The piece in image 3 & 4 will be a little trickier to fabricate. I'm concerned about recreating that lit of the wheel well. TI have no special tools for fabricating. Just hammers and metal blocks but I'll figure it out. After cutting on this 400 for a few years I am not afraid and anything.
Been doing my part and staying home for 9 month and have not been bored a single day.
