THATS REALLY KOOL SOME MORE PICS OF THE CAR IF YOU HAVE THEM,,

Its a low budget car , didnt buy much stuff for it, just used some of my extra Mopar parts .

Thanks for all the positive comments about the car!

got alots of parts from this lineup- Hudsons are down the line

passenger side door , the black piece in the foreground of the pic is the replacement lower piece I found in the lineup of above pic

im not sure what year your car is,,havent seen many hudsons but its kool,difernt is KOOL,,,

who would of thought you could find a husdon in a yard,,,luck is with you

WOOW

just picked up an engine that might go in 300hp MP 360 in the crate, never run and priced fair. Now just have to get more stuff done so it can be the next one to go to the shop.

Looks like I found some coin to put into the car. Thinking of just freshing the flathead, yanking the 53' desoto overdrivr and putting a checy trans in. Other choice is a 1979 360/727 on stock front rails. Will see what happens after sema when our rod budy shows up and gives a scedule for some availble shop time.

IMHO you should call Fatman Fabrications and see what he has to say. He's very well known and successful in the street rod community and I think you may have a choice between dropped spindles and the Fatman version of the Mustang II which is good up to a 4000 lb car. Don't torch the frame, put the kit in the existing frame.

A few hours reading the latest edition of Street Rodder will be educational.

check out a jaguar xj6 front clip--i straightened out the spring pocket on the hudson frame and layed it in then put a 5.2 dakota motor in---the newest incarnation when i went to install a cummins 4bt forced me to ditch the jag and do a dakota front clip--i only needed to get 2 inch drop spindles to drop it where it belongs-----look at your hudson and see where the front frame rails bolt in(under the back seat)---made me wish i had cut the dakota rails far enough back to bolt them in there-bob

as much as my dad loves power steering, it's just gonna have to wait. Think the best thing to do is rebuild stock suspension, new front coils, add power disc brakes, change wheels to 15in steel rims and use radial tires for better driving. The small block will be a nice touch in there and will be easier for him to maintain.

Why not put a rack & pinion steering unit on the car? A Calivier (spelling?) rack works pretty good on this era car. Gene

Nice job! That's a real sleeper.
