Well some progress on the OLD TRUCK.


No visible chains or cables.


Mock up tailgate latch handles to mimic the original chain.


The grille is FINALLY fully welded.



More details and even more.

Take the bumper on the "OLD TRUCK" and make it the same shape as the grill...

We talked about it, but thought it might look like a train. We have some more parts to build for the front end.

" I hear the train a comin...... It's Rollin round the Bend..... And I aint seen the sunshine since I don't know when......."

As much as I like Johnny, We wanted to avoid that. That angle of this picture does the front end no justice. Plus the lack of splash apron and the last lower grille bar treatment will finish off.

First let me say....NICE WORK and PROGRESS!!

Looks like the hood hinges on the 57 allow the hood to open a lot...that's nice to see! It's a major concern for Greg and myself ya know!

Have you considered a carb-style intake with a 4 into 1 elbow or a carb style TB for the 57 and relocating the coils? Love the air cleaner....just thinking out loud!

Oh, and nice to hear your voice in the background the other night...see ya in a few weeks!

We cannot do anything to the engine as far as smog stuff goes. We were a little apprehensive on changing the valve covers until it passes emissions as a 2010 special construction car. Since everything is brand new, chassis, body and engine it has to be emission compliant. Hence the use of the Erod engine. The Engine has to stay true to what the 2010 camaro has.

I understand! It was just a thought!
I remember seeing a LS transplant in I what I remember being a shoe box, they painted the whole engine orange, now valve covers, ect...you had to look twice to notice it was a LS! Someone posted pics here not to long ago....perhaps you have seen it? It was very cool in/for a rather stock car.

Default Packard update pics

Well we have gotten the Packard on the road. It handles great and sounds like a big boat. We drove it over to a local BBQ last night and displayed some other cars. The interior is almost done. The customer has not seen the car in a few weeks. Just a a spacious cruiser. We drove it out to Famosa today for to want some heads up drag racing and a highway shack down. I could really get into a simple car like this. It sure does turn some heads.









You can see the Truck and the Camaro in the back ground.
