you arent listening.

Let's try again. there is NO SUCH THING AS A 'CHEAP PROJECT CAR'.

I strongly advise against anyone of modest means getting involved in trying to bring back from the dead ANY old car, ESPECIALLY something as expensive to fix up as a Packard, ANY Packard.

For the simple and SAD reason, that so many of them dont have the GUTS to see it thru, and we wind up with still another SALVAGEABLE car torn apart and lost to the world forever.

Of course there are exceptions to that, and hopefully, this fellow who is looking to duplicate his grandfather's "120" will 1) find something AND
2) STICK with it thru the hard, frustrating
and obscenely expensive process of getting
it to the point where he can enjoy it.

All I can do, as someone with just a BIT of experience in these matters, is to HOPE he will consider the ideas he has seen in here (ALL of the ideas), and wish him the best of luck !
