I mocked up the '53 tail fins yesterday, and loved them. So, today I made the holes and bolted them on. This car is really comin' along, it is going to be one great looking car!

Looking good Gear Rat. I like the fins and the bottle openers too.

Thanks packardtaximan! I had been looking for those fins for a while. My brother found them buried under the back seat of a '53 at the salvage yard. I am so glad he found them, those things usually get picked right away. My '52 should be on the road soon! I really hope I can take it to my old shop at school before it lets out at the end of this month.

Thank you too joeyearl!
Yeah, I am going to keep this patina for a good while. I love the way it looks, it is one of a kind. I'm thinkin' of using a matte clear to protect it. Putting those bottle openers on your "Bathtub", would that be a first? I think you should go for it, might look pretty cool! -Garrett

Those look great! Would love to find some to my car. Got bottle openers already waiting to be installed.

I think I would get kicked out of the forum if I put them on my '48! A while back, I saw a '62 Chevy Wagon with this patina- paint worn through to primer, bare metal, bondo, etc, and a nice high gloss urethane clear coat on top. It was polished to a show quality shine. Excellent!

I've been working on other cars lately. Need a break from the Packard. Got a care package of new metal coming soon though so when that arrives, I'll be back at it.
