How's Everyone

Haven't posted on the site and talked to the regulars I used to. Hope all is well with you life and projects. Been busy with my Buick and Packard. Hopefully I get an Olds again one day when it's less hectic. Have a great night

Your right. Where should I post within the forum?

Hope you've been good.

Here is the Packard. Its a Clipper Constellation from 1955. Has a 352 Packard engine with an auto trans. I got this car for 350$. My plan for this is to mate a th400 to the Packard mill. Many of the old timers I talk to have said the transmission is the week point.
I want to lose the two tone and paint it all black, gold or white.

Good pics, Where did you find a car show this time of the year? Love everything about the Ford/Oldsmobile Rod except the that hideous front end. And your friends are correct the Packard transmission is worse than a Slim Jim. Glad to have you around again...... Tedd

Hey thanks Tedd, that show was from March of Last year. It was nice held indoor at a 2 story convention center in LA. I agree with you on that grill hahahaha. I know it can be done regarding the th400/packard v8. An adapter is sold online for $800 but i know i can find a way. Just need to dive in.

Everything is going great here, happy to see you back and diving into another cool oldie. I will be following along once you get started on it.
