Projects 1939 HUDSON race car, circa 1950

308 Hornet engine. Edmunds head and intake. Vertex magneto. Isky cam. Weed burner exhaust. 48 Ford front suspension. 16-1 steering. F100 spindles and brakes. 37 Packard trans. Bomber seat. DFRC V-8 quickchange. 28 spline axles and spool. Landrum 125lbs. leaf springs. The roll cage is now done. This project is on the back burner. No future updates. Sorry

 

Car is cool as hell. I really dig the old round-round aesthetic. And Hudsons! Keep up the good work.

 

Wow what a tease!
I too have a 39 Hudson coupe that will be a "race car".
I am building a 60's g***er.
I was extremely fortunate to find this car less than 50 milees from home in 2012.
I stored it for a year then when I brought it home I got the g***er vision.
That stuck and this October I started the 6 month thrash.
I cant post pics from this tablet but I will come back and post.

 

Mocked up Jan 2015
rear fenders opened for big tires

 

July 2013 when I saw the vision for a g***er

 

Rebuilding the engine now.
