Building The 57 Detroit Styled Packard

Thanks to all who responded and suggested that I start my own blog. I will post pictures from the beginning to the present. I'll start out with the original Black Bess II with the Predictor at Warren in 1999. To save from boredom, I'll start out with the finished frame. This is what Black Bess originally had. And I used off the 80 some photos in my collection of the Original Black Bess being built. Sorry I can not show the original pictures due to a copyright agreement. The next batch of pictures will show the chassis being built in various stages. From there, I'll jump to the body being built. I have not been able to work on this for over a year. I was going to start on it, but due to road work in front of my building, I've had the opportunity to rent out to the department of transportation as an office and staging area. So it will be November before I am able to touch it now as the state has control of my building. The financial agreement for the use of the building was too good to turn down. Enjoy the photos. If you have any questions, please post, I will try to answer in a week.
