Portlandon,

I'm glad you regained your composure and are giving the situation more reflection. That 400 of yours will be beautiful one day. As previously said, there were many times along the way that my project stalled just like others here. Money, health and simply NOT having my head right seemed to get into the way. I once considered selling everything Packard because of my frustrations. All I can tell you now is that I'm glad I did not! The sheer joy that my 400 now brings me is a fantastic experience. It took me a good ten years to finish the car, because I only worked on it during the weekends. I think that the $$$ you would ultimately spend on either car will generally be the same.

Lastly (and this is me speaking from the heart), sitting side by side, if those cars were restored to the exact same degree, the 400 would hands down be the favorite of car enthusiasts at every show I've attended.

Take care!
