Eric Macleod Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 So this is going to be a Packardberg? I like where you are going. It has the looooong lines of the Packard 745. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Looks like the front axle is in the right location. Marked the rear one accordingly. I will attempt to match the drip moldings using wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thew rear axle is located and one end lengthened to match. Everything appears to line up. Working on the drip molding extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 More work on the window reveals. Hopefully, with a bit of putty and a blurry lens they'll look the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I had hoped to hide the seam in the running boards with a decorative plate but it is too small, so I'll likely replace the running boards themselves.Had to notch the frame to clear the down draft carb.

Eric Macleod Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 A lot of cars of the late 20s had a simple linoleum running board covering trimmed in either aluminum or chrome. That would be a simple, elegant and correct solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Performed the runningboardectomy. Found some that might fit with a bit of filing. And, of course, we are not discounting Eric's suggestion. I suppose that would be brown or gray battleship linoleum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Found a pair of wind wings that looked like they might make. a nice vent window. After trimming them I decided to make some with a vertical trailing edge, I think it is classier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Gave it a shot of primer to highlight the details that are there and the ones that are missing. In real life, this would be a large vehicle. I think it has the potential of looking classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Potential? Shoot, it looks classy now! I like your windshield treatment. There's not a bad line on it. I look forward to seeing the next installment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Dechromed the hood vent doors. This car will have minimum bling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
