1940 120 Convertible Coupe Restoration

Posted by John On 2014/9/10 14:27:02

I started restoring this '40 Convertible Coupe for a customer a few weeks ago at our shop. I don't know much about these cars so I wanted to find a Packard forum for when I need help. We'll be completing the restoration; the owner has already restored/rebuilt the drivetrain, frame, and suspension. It needs a ton of metal work before we can start any bodywork. I started a build topic for it on my "home forum" 67-72chevytrucks.com in the off topic section so I'll import those posts to catch up to the current work.

This is it as it was delivered, we have the rest of the parts in storage. The owner was a helicopter mechanic and is very detail oriented so all of the parts were boxed meticulously; each box is labeled with a list of parts and hardware inside.

**Edit** I'm having a hard time figuring out this forum. I can't post pictures from photobucket without them showing up too small and I can't post pictures from my computer and also add a description for each picture. I also have a build thread on 67-72chevytrucks.com that has more pictures and a better description of the work being done. Here is the link to that build thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=639218
