This is my current project; it is a 1971 Honda N600 (the first Honda car in the US). I have added a sun roof and am adding maple and mahogany wood side trim.

Here are some photos of the 1941 Packard Town Car that I built out of a very rough limo. The engine is moved back 22 inches, and all body parts were newly fabricated or modified . My job was to shape the car. It was sent to another shop where they will add door skins, form the fenders and trunk, and finish the car.

The 1928 was a boring short wheelbase touring car; it is now a dual cowl sports touring car.

The 1929 was a hand built race car that disappeared in the 30's. I built this car from photos of the original and it is all hand made.

The silver GT and the woodie wagon started as identical 4 door sedans.

My job was to take four-door sedans and make them into cars that the Packard Car Co. talked about building but never actually built. These include the yellow convertible, the silver GT, and the woodie wagon.
