Erik's 1939 Packard Six (basket case)

Hi everyone! I purchased this baby 7 years ago, and it has been sitting in a storage yard in Utah all that time. I just got it shipped to California, so I can begin the restoration. As you can see, it is ROUGH! I am not quite sure what my plans are yet, but I definitely want to get the body and interior back in ship shape to start with. There are a number of missing parts I will need to track down for sure. This will be a long process, but I am eager to get going in the next few months.

I just finished restoring a 1977 Camaro. That was practice for this car I guess! I will be doing all the work myself out of my garage.

I have never posted here before, so I might make some mistakes along the way.
Here she is!

Good for you--my '40 110 looked much worse (well, still does) than yours, but mechanically she's in good shape.

Looking forward to seeing the progress ahead.

Eric, welcome to PackardInfo.com!

For a moment I thought the rear windows were barred.

The first question we have for this project is whether these holes are supposed to be here. If so, what are they for? I have not seen any pics of something going there.

Also, if you guys can point me to any build threads where someone has gone through this journey, that would be greatly appreciated. I have been digging, but there are a lot :)
