say hello to the pavement


parked the Packard at Craig'z back yard in Inglewood
to get agave margaritas
and something screwy happened to the suspension

because now the body of the Packard is touching the ground




it seems like the coil and leaf springs have been sliced right out of the car.


luckily i think we can put some airbags in there to get her off the turf, but not too high... probably only like 4 inches
at full bag height




ridiculous

might as well weld titanium strips to the underside of the frame so real sparks shoot out when she scrapes

might as well fabricate some gruesome sinister sidepipes to boot. and maybe some low pro whitewalls



doctor doom already asked me for a ride

Very nice. Now I know the answer to Chubby Checkers's Question "How low can you go?"

Kool hey your an inspiration to me. I just got a 53 patrician 4 door. I know your thinking about chopping the top and seeings how you have a 4 door too I really wanna see how you go about it, because its what I wanna do to.

I have some questions about your build too, so hit me up sometime please

i decided against the chop - rather than mess with the sleek styling and pinache of the Packard design, i applied the WWDDD theory
what would doctor doom do


Doom would most likely bag it, slam it, and install several illicit illlegal evil villain accesories like flame throwers, and train horns and a spy hunter oil slick button
and a fully stocked bar


hit me if u want to know specifics about the car!
or whos doin the work!
So Cal!




that being said heres some Packard chops.
most of you guys shouldnt look at this. you might poop your packrd
