Re: Eric's 1925 Packard Barchetta Speedster Project

A 1920's Packard cowl would be an outstanding piece to come across. I was going to buy the one that was on eBay a while ago, but since it didn't include a firewall I decided against it.

As it's looking now, I think that I might be using the Maxwell cowl only, although not the one that I have in the pics. I forgot that I gave the good one to my buddy who's storing the '37 chassis and stuff for me, and he told me yesterday that I can have it back. I totally forgot that at one time I had bits of two 1914 Maxwell's, and gave the good rust-free cowl away. I think the cowl from the Maxwell better suits the race car idea as compared to the possible "Willys" cowl. It will also allow me to have a lower and sleeker bodyline, too. Any thoughts? Comments?
