Starting a Big T project.

[LDO]

This will be a model of a car I would like to build in full size. The idea is a low-buck rod. Not a rat rod, but something that could be built and driven by a working man. The engine will be a Packard straight-8 (I have a real one in my garage). Frame will be scratchbuilt (it needs to be longer and stronger. The Packard engine is a beast. 925 pounds w/o trans, IIRC). I bought a resin turtle deck for it, but while I was cleaning it up, the foot locker-type trunk idea occurred to me. It's different, and it can hold enough stuff for a weekend out of town..at least enough to get me to a hotel.
