Re: An attempt to revive a straight eight Packard after 50 years.

I love this channel! There's another series on reviving a 49 Frazer and making it a daily driver, complete with year after updates and videos of repairs along the way. I really enjoyed that because it's essentially what I'm trying to do, though I don't think I'll ever attempt a snow drifting shot in my car.

I also recommend a guy on Youtube who goes by TheCorvetteBen, whose done a series on a 56 Caddy DeVille and a 53 Olds 88. Ben doesn't have nearly the metalwork or machinery that these coldwar guys do and uses more bargain purchased parts, if you're watching with kids or sensitive audiences Ben doesn't have the cursing/drinking references, but he's also not as funny imo and he's in Texas so there's a bit of a disconnect weatherwise if you're from the North where there are seasons to contend with. Both channels do a great job of focusing on fixing the cars for as little money as possible, reusing as many parts as possible, without rodding, restoring, or hacking.

Looking forward to watching part 4 of the Packard v Buick challenge today!
