Here's someplace else to cut for a very cool look. Check out this Packard that was raced by Jean Trevoux in the Carrera Panamericana in 53 and 54. Although it was custom bodied, it looks mostly like a sectioned 53. No one seems to know what happened to that car so I am trying to make a near copy starting with a 51 four door like yours plus the roof from a 53. Both were nasty parts cars representing a combined purchase price of $250. The sedan had 10 inches taken out of the wheelbase and was sectioned 4 3/4 inches. Fun with sheet metal. The drivetrain is done--I just need to finish the door uppers so it looks like a hardtop and paint the thing.
