Projects 1942 hudson

From what little of what I have left of the dash it is different, but I would LOVE to have that dash! I do have a 1931 hudson to. Maybe I can get ont for it... Thank alot though. It helps. Any info is good!

 

Kewl! Let me know when you are ready for a row of carbs for that inliner.

 

hell yeah I will!!

 

Yeah I do, but not one that's been completed. Its more fun to take some neglected old relic & bring it back to life. It would be cool though if someone over here bought your car, then I could check it out in person.

 

well put the word out then!

 

Do you have it listed anywhere?

Maybe between you and Choptvan y'all can build a Hudson rickshaw, complete with flathead Ford V-8 & Lincoln Zephyr headlight. When do we start?

 

Put a springer front end on that and an older headlight and I think you've got something.

Love the Carson top, love the red/burgundy, love the dash, love the skirts. Most of all the straight 8! Yes, yes and yes! I can't wait to see it come together!

 

You know how some guys always talk about spitting soda all over the ket board? I just spti pudding all over my screen! HA HA! Not only no... but HELL NO! !

 

Thank you. I am very excited about it and fight the urge everyday to tear into it. I hate being broke.

 

You sure?

 

Here's a '42 dash. They're a little different. Sorry the pic is on the fuzzy side, all I have handy of it -

I have a '40 speedo in my swap stuff that I take to shows to try to get rid of, too. They designed them to convert to right hand drive real easy - it looks like a left-side glove box door, but with a speedometer on it and a slot for the odometer, instead of a clock.

 

I guess I got lucky,at least I found a 1946 coupe. full square tube chasis,full 12 point cage cert to 6.5,454bbc,PG trans with brake,9" narrowed ford w/4:56,triangulated 4 link rear w/adj. coil overs. And it's red!

 

uh..ok


Again, '42 Hudsons rock-here's another dash shot still not a great one and a few random 42 Hudsons to mull over.

 

Not a doubt in my mind!!

 

Holy hideous dash bat man!! I have got to find something else to do with it... And that steering whell? HUH?

Thanx for the intel though man. That helps alot.

 

I have been scouring for shots of 40's kustom hudsons. I have yet to find any besides the ones on riksters site. That one is cool, but this isn't a coupe. I hope to find something... bigger? Anyone got pix?

 

anyone?

 

Time to bring this back up. I will begin some work on it soon since I have my 54 ford sold. Money comin soon, so progress comin soon.

 

Cool ! Looking forward to tis build !

 

It's definitely coming along, good luck with the carson top, im having to do the same thing with the shoebox the chop was so bad by the same guy!!

 

I'm interested in seeing how bad the chop was, do you have a picture of it?

 

I could not resist adding this photo of my 1941 Hudson taken at the Lakes in 1950. The straight 8 Hudson engine had destroyed itself so I replaced it with a 356 cu. in. Buick straight 8 engine. By the end of the 1951 season the Hudson had been clocked at 129.96 mph at the Lakes and 106.89 mph at the Drags. It was a fun car and lots of good memories for me. Don

You and me both! Wanna buy a car?

He is a fukn hack. I wish he would chime in and defend himself for sure! And yes, the chop on that thing was fuct. You are talkin about the poobox right?

 

SO COOL!! Thank you very much for the pic. Very cool car.

 

WOO HOOO!!! I just scored a running nailhead 4 barrell 322 for a trade of a flathead six. Sounds unbelievable right?! Really stoked!

 

You could always section it.



here it is at the 1st Hunnert Car Pileup

 

I saw that on riksters site. TO much for a sedan I think. Looks real cool on thi though.
