Thank you everyone! The Packard is coming along good and getting a lot of attention, but still have more to go. I need to redo the windshield (cracked it when it was getting cut to fit the chop)I found a place that sells brand new windshields so I'm going to pick one up when I can. I also need to do the interior, it's pretty bare boned right now and I'd like to make the suspension and brakes a little better. As for the white wall tires those are regular radials with white paint, it goes on bright white but after a few days they fade to antique white. Some day I'll get some real white walls. She still has a single carb, the scoops on the hood were intended for venting heat and looking cool doing it. I was going to louver the hood but the nearest shop with a punch was over 100 miles away and my dad was getting rid of his old Chris Craft boat so I snagged the vents off of it and integrated them into the hood. I do have a 4 barrel intake I was thinking of switching over to that and pick up a multi deuce adapter to put on top.
