Ross, I should have had you autograph the '55 Clipper. If you are agreeable, I'll send you a sun visor, or something.

Here are a few earlier shots--the happy donor and a few shots of the development of the boattail. The fact that the boattail worked was a big encouragement to keep on trying other things.

Very, VERY cool!

I know it might be a PITA to make, and perhaps impossible to fit. but have you considered building a hood for this beauty?

I didn't try a hood 'cause I wanted that long engine very visible. But if someone were to say, place an order for a roadster and he wanted a hood.....

Yes, the pickups, including the 4 at G'burg were made here.

No, sadly the wonderful looking and driving Constellation is not mine, but a customer's. I have one in Tourmaline and Moonstone, but it is in serious need of loving. After the Pan American racer replica is done that may bubble up to the top of the list.

Couldn't resist this bit of whimsy whilst pulling the body on another car. Could title it "how Packards give birth", "where roadsters come from" or some foolishness.
