I have been working on the front seat for 3 years. Finally got it done and can't find my hardware! I know I need spacers; can anyone tell me the dimensions of the spacers so I can find something else that might work? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

To me, while this is very cool in many ways, it's also not really a Hudson anymore other than the sheet metal. ]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/161239/seeking-03935-hudson-or-terraplane-sway-bar Sat, 08 Sep 2012 17:50:42 +0000 StillOutThere 161239@/forum/discussions rear sway bar.

If you know of a parts car or someone building a '35 Hud /Terra street rod and the car had the Axle Flex, it would have this rear anti-sway bar as part of the original suspension.

Thanks.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163056/hudsons-in-labor-day-auctions Sun, 05 May 2013 22:19:52 +0000 50C8DAN 163056@/forum/discussions
It also brings to mind an issue that I keep thinking about. Of the AMC partners, why hasn't the Nash mark made a similar impact and interest. I rarely ever see Nash anything but Metropolitans most of the time, even the early 50s Ramblers rarely make an appearance.

Anyway I was very impressed to see the quality of Hudsons offered.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163047/looking-for-a-stepdown-fender-mount-antenna Sun, 05 May 2013 02:22:02 +0000 hoggyrubber 163047@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163089/pontiac-hydramatic-in-a-hudson Fri, 10 May 2013 13:12:25 +0000 DavidC 163089@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/162963/54-hornet-special-club-sedan Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:35:02 +0000 Lee ODell 162963@/forum/discussions Lee O'Dell]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163116/cl-portland-1928-hudson Wed, 15 May 2013 01:24:17 +0000 rambos_ride 163116@/forum/discussions 1928 Hudson

This is an interesting car.

Second question. For example: if it is the inner bearing that must be changed, will the inner bearing and race from the 47 PU fit in the 54 hub? Same example if it is the outer bearing that needs changing. The reason for asking is the PU has new bearings and I would switch into 54 hub if I know they will fit.

If not what bearing and seal P/Ns will be needed?
Thanks for answer.

Tomorrow, meet attendees will take self-guided tours around town, or to various vineyards in the country surrounding Front Royal, Va. We're expecting temperatures to hit 81 degrees. There may be a thunderstorm or two, here or there. In the evening we'll have the traditional pot luck dinner.

There's more on Saturday and Sunday! If you happen to live anywhere within driving distance of Front Royal, do come out and join us sometime this weekend!

Had the gas tank removed, boiled, sealed, I reinstalled it. Oil is fresh, plugs are fresh, etc etc etc. I know the car was driving within the last 2 years before i bought it, so it's not one of those "sitting for 10 years" situations.
I have Drive Master, and I'm not sure if it's hooked up or not, but it SEEEMS like it is from everything i can tell. The car is still also a 6v system. I know there's some charge to it because i can get the headlights and tail lights and brake lights to work (though no other lights or accessories seem to come on, I'm guessing/hoping blown fuses).
From what I've read, with a 6v system (of which I've never had any experience with) when you connect the battery you need to wait a few hours before trying to start up the car. I also sprayed some carb cleaner over the carb (not in it). How do you guys suggest I go about firing this baby up for the "first time"? Anything particular I should do or not do?]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163108/hal-denman039s-cars Mon, 13 May 2013 17:36:04 +0000 StillOutThere 163108@/forum/discussions

Getting ready to start the next (and probably biggest) phase of the work on my 46 Hudson: the interior. The car's interior was completely gutted by the previous owner. I still have all of the pieces (front seat is installed and in nice shape) have all the door panels, rear seat, etc. My car had the factory leather (which I am not going to duplicate because it's just too expensive). What I'd like to get from you all is your opinion on which way to go with the interior:
I could do it "very similar" to the original....same color scheme, as close to possible as the same patterns, and materials would now be either simulated leather and cloth, or cloth and a decent vinyl.
Or I could just do it my own way, probably using a different color scheme, not really following the material patterns too closely, and again using either simulated leather & cloth or good vinyl and cloth.

The reason I hesitate on which way to go is that I don't want to turn off Hudon buffs when I eventually decide to sell, but at the same time I don't want to spend a year's worth of college tuition on this interior trying to make it as original as possible if it's not going to make much difference in the overall appeal.

Now that I'm caught up I am looking for more material to scan. Again, I can scan most anything as long as it isnt' two thick - generally anything under 50 or 60 pages can be scanned flat. Anything over that needs to be taken apart. I usually return disassembled manuals in a 3-ring binder. I just love single page material, like bulletins.

So, any contributions will be welcome. I will treat all of it as I would if it were my own and return as promptly as I can. One note - older manuals that can be laid flat have a tendency to shed the middle pages as the staples aren't quite long enough. We try our best but it does happen.

Thanks to those who have contributed lately - Roger Tallent, Paul Schuster, Ric Pinder and the SoCal chapter who loaned material from the Crasweiller Estate thru Jon Cronk.
