Have you ever gone out to your garage in the morning to find that someone has parked their freshly restored 1934 Packard Super Eight coupe-roadster painted in the most God-beautiful shade of green (with two double rows of thin, Thin, THIN, T-H-I-N pinstripes)? Then, did that person tell you to drive it as often as you can? Man! The brazen boldness and impudent insolence of some people just galls me!

Wow,  LOL  My guess is that he's hiding it from his X-wife, or bill-collectors, maybe.

I'm afraid that after he gets my bill for storage charges, he'll probably just tell me to keep it. Then what do I do with it?  Sheeeesh!

It's amazing the gall of some people really. Look West, if it is an inconvenience on you and an intrusion on your time I will bite the bullet and bring the car south and kick my wifes car out of the garage and put it in there. I live way out in the county so driving would not be a drag. I mean after all we Packard owners have to stick together and help each other right?????

I don't know what he's heard about me, or my trustworthiness, or my honesty, but they were all lies. I'm keeping this sucker!!

West,
Thanks for changing the front tires to black walls! Gee, you not only store the car, but buy me new tires! Thanks, they look great!
Tom

I'm getting this deep sinking feeling in my stomach that you want your car back. You're right, though, those sidemount covers fit a lot better when you have the right size tires on the wheels.

Actually, NONE of these photos do justice to the actual color of the car. I cannot even go into Photoshop and adjust to make it look right (for some reason, greens are impossible to make look right). All I can say is that the color looks 10 times better in person. I've tried adjusting a little here, and it's closer, but...

Oh, wait a minute. I just noticed that the windshield wipers are misaligned. Never mind... NOS wiper motors have already been bought.

Aside from tires & flames, I count 9 more and some pretty decent photoshop work. Is the keg fuel for the car or the driver?

Holy sh*t! West, you have been lifting some serious weights! And you shaved! And what the hell kind of colors for the flames are those! They need to be in packard colors, for chrissake.
Oh, and yup, I was thinking I might want the car back after all.
Glad to see your having fun with the car. You can stop anytime, however.

Nice top chop & removal of fender lights and hood ornament. The hood ornament is probably on West's desk.
John Milner at the wheel, no? He must be a bit confused...
