I put the car in modif. discussions because it was't original. Was't sure I should put in the projects blog. The belt molding will be lengthen on the door and shortened on the quarter and there is a molding that extends onto the truck lid.

Owner bought the hood ornament from an antique store an it was marked as a 47 Desoto.

Hi Jack
We love the original 55' 56' Packard 2x4 air cleaner and wanted one that was are own. Its made of aluminum, I made an upper and lower plenum and welded them together. The air cleaner baskets or what ever you want to call them are made of steel with 8" K&N filters. The center plate and Lincoln emblem we had made using C&C machining.

Yes but doesn't have 4:11 gears only 3:50.

Yes we built it to be street-able it it came in on the dyno at 476 Hp. and 461 pd. torque @ 5300 rpm.

Finely finished the air cleaner. Now back on finishing body.

Finely able to get back on the Clipper, it's been a busy summer. We got the engine back awhile ago and was able to get it detailed. I'm still working on the air cleaner. I hope to have some pictures of it soon.

Hey MrBumble, that is a wicked looking motor but the owner is already on another path with the drive train. There will be a lot who will not agree with our choice but hopefully there won't be too many objections when you see the finished product.
