Hey Big KEV;
Kindly refer to my lovely "motor car" as a FASTBACK! Save that BATHTUB on wheels call for those ugly 4 drs! I wouldn't even touch them to sell for scrap!
I wasn't looking for this car, it found me. I'm a sucker for a wayward Fastback. I was pursuing some other manufacturers, when this one rolled by. I like the '48 better because there's no side trim. But who could pass up a 50th anniversary anything????
If we still had motor cars, Packard would out sell Toyota today, but they make cars and automobiles now. Granted the stock bumpers give it that arcade bumper car look, but to a lead sledder or tail dragger, that's way cool. I'm old school, but not spark crazy. I can sculpt out the unnecessary and make them more beautiful and less chrome money to go with those '59 Cad tailights I'm going to french in...Gonna make a MERC owner HOWL...
If I was any good with wood, I might dabble in the prewar orangecrates, but it's too much welding to metalize the beasts. This torq monster would inject and turbocharge those V-12s! I looked at one '37 coupe, but someone used plywood on the trunk corner. 60 Hail Marys!
ha, HA, HAAAA!
Enough of cars, time to go fish'n.
