I love it. Nice work. Dont worry about the negative comments. I agree with you and if you leave all the nameplates off, when the young kids at the car shows point and say, cool what is it? You answer "its a Packard" hopefully it will light the fire of someone of the next generation. There is room for the factory correct restorations, hot rods, customs, resto mods etc and i can appreciate them all. Lets face it, a 40 or 41 Willys coupe with a 65 horse flat 4 was not what thrust it to the forefront of iconic american automotive history. Hemi and blown v8 drag racing did. While I agree some cars have engineering and performance worthy of preserving, hot rodding anything with production numbers over 500 is ok by me. Hope to see pix of the finished project!
