    The rear end conversion is gonna look dynamic...Pity you adamant on cutting up those fresh chrome bumpers...As far as Conner goes if he plans to live along life he needs to be more P.P.E conscious as the toxins from fillers and paint will surely make paperweight of this respiratory system in no time...My humblest opinion

    I’m 81 and I have always loved those taillights. I remember them when they first came out. I’m thinking they’re from a Lincoln but it’s been a long time. Oh I see, that’s a Packard Clipper! I just remembered the taillight 🤪

    • @KB10GL
      @KB10GL Před měsícem

      If it was a two door, a convertible or a pillarless hard top, I would agree that restoration would be cool, but it's a four door, a taxi if you will. [Taxi's have four doors] so it can serve quite nicely as as donor. The tail lights are hyper cool & scream '60's era custom.
      The thing with me is that I am very fond of uncommon or rare V8 engines from the 1950's & '60's. I run a '57 Dodge Hemi myself. If this car has a rebuildable V8 engine in it, I would call it a candidate for the Custom Chev for its quirky coolness alone.

  • @BigMike1138
    @BigMike1138 Před 28 dny

    FYI: Those tail lights you removed aren't the only Oldsmobile parts on the car. From 49-54, Olds and Chevy had the same windshield opening but Chevys were 2-piece and Olds was 1-piece. Those Packard tail lights would also look awesome on a 55-57 Chevy.

    Somewhere a 57 Packard lover had a terrible feeling deep in their gut and wasn't sure why.😂 Really though gonna look great Im sure. Even though I didnt hate the Olds lights. Just didnt care for how the roll pan I guess you'd call it looked. Headed for greatness now though!

  • @mrnobody6573
    @mrnobody6573 Před měsícem +1

    Do not ruin that beautiful & valuable rear bumper. Use a rear bumper from a 56 Chevy. It should be about the right width & it has the wrap around ends to work with the Packard lights.

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před měsícem

      It sucks to cut on that nice of a bumper but to get the fit and finish we are going for it's going to have to be a Packard bumper

    • @HardCoreFab

      So we are going to try and sell the Packard and just us the extra parts on the chevy to start with. If it don't sell then we might look into cutting the dash out. That would be cool! I do think we are going to try and run skirts. I would happily accept your skirts and see if I could make them work on the 53. If not I'm sure I would use them at some point!
