So this is my first car build in two years. Nothing other than getting use to building again. . . box stock and no paint . . . .  Thinking of heating it and making it a crashed car? ? ? We will see. New magnifying headband over my regular glasses to see the small parts. It works. . . I can see the small details again a good thing.    We will see if I can find the paint and saws. . . . and continue on some of the stalled projects. My daughter built three this week. Snap tights. . and my son built one. A good thing I have to get more snap kits for them both. GB Barten |

Packard? Auburn?
Whatever, it's a great piece of art from a long lost era.

Thanks guys. . . .it is a Packard. I do love the 30's cars. . . but my favorite is the Showrods. . . and the wild ones.
But there is nothing like an altered car! hehehe
I probably won't alter this one. But a dented fender might be interesting. . .. like an old rusted out gem! I didn't mean smash it. . . but alter it to look like it was in a wreck? But too many spinning plates on the sticks right now.
Yea I agree. . . . I was excited to see my kids build too.
