Wat's Clipper coupe
Posted by Wat_Tyler On 2021/3/28 5:30:08
Thanks to you and this website for helping me to find my latest flight of fancy. I feel a bit like I've gone out on a limb here, and yet it also feels totally doable, too. Never been (very) afraid of hard work.
So, the first car is a 2185, maroon, with much of its interior still intact (missing the headliner and with some rodent damage in the back seat area), most of the glass, and most of the odd bits - and a parts cars. Missing items, like the interior rear window frames, are in the parts car. It's light on body damage and seems quite solid - i.e., not rusted out at the bases of the A pillars or rockers. There's a dent behind the trunk handle, and the wee Packard script is missing, but the lid on the parts cars looks fine (I think) and it has the script.
Want to do it up as an eight. I have one eight - to be determined which one - and two more on the hook. I think I found the overdrive disconnect pull yesterday. Hell, everything is creaky and stuck, so I'll be keeping the spray lube folks in business.
I'm sure I'll have questions, but I finally figured out how to get this wonky computer to make pictures open (file conversions, and I had never authorized it to convert them in the first place). So we can do pictures, too.
