Gary,
You asked for my opinions, so here goes!
Mal, seats easy to remove? - As advised by others shouldn't be too hard. I did remove the seats from my '41 Coupe, by myself, and if I can do that anyone can! Being yours is a Convertible is a plus as you wouldn't have to worry about working within the confines of a roof.
What yar think, dark green top or white? - My preferences would be somewhat different, either black or tan. Couple of pic's below of local cars, I tend to favour the tan because I like the contrasting effect. But as my wife says "I know nothing about colour"!
Also need new red tail light lens, my project one is completly melted. Easy to get and fix i think. Around it is it chrome or just chrome looking paint? - Replacement lenses and bezels should be reasonably readily available from the Packard parts vendors, so I don't see that as a problem. Bezels will be either chrome-plated steel or pot-metal, not plastic, the experts will be able to better advise.
