I just found this forum and thought I'd put my two cents worth in.

I have a 1929 Essex with 350/350th, Fatman Fabrications IFS, 68 Camaro posi rear. I've had the car on the road for a few years. Its presently undergoing some repairs after a recent electrical/fuel fire. Not too bad, just hoses and wires. While it's down I plan on repainting and upgrading a few things.

I kind of like staying with an inline six as opposed to a V8, and maybe wouldn't run into as many clearance issues with the steering and such.

I welcome any thoughts and opinions, or other suggestions.

I called Al Saffrahn and we went in together to buy another 50 Pacemaker here in AZ. I will use the shell and frame (and probably the front fenders as well) and he will sell the rest. For any of you who haven't dealt with Al, he's a top notch guy and knows his Hud stuff well. I'm glad that he lives so close and is here to help. Kudos to you Al.

Dany Spring came by last weekend and took the original motor and tranny out of mine as I will be going with the modern drivetrain. He's got a nice plan for the gear, but I'll let him tell you about it! My wife and I meet his wife and daughters and had a great time.....they are good folks. And his daughter Ashley got right in there to work with us.....there's a Hudnut! I didn't realize that he was the K-Gap guy, my stupidity at its best! lol

So Al will have the 2nd Pace for a couple months which helps me since tax season is here and I have little to no time for any work until after June (we are traveling to New Zealand in May). I have some roof line work on the new Pace as it looks like someone lifted it with a cable and put small kinks on both sides. It looks very repairable and hasn't effected the door jambs or door alignment at all. And of course, I'll have to start stripping parts off mine to put on the new Pace when its ready.

The frame rot presents a small setback, but I'm not deterred. I take encouragement from Dan who has a bad (if not worse) problem than I, but he trudges forward. And many others have helped out as well (you know who you are!). Its still going to be a cool "leadsled" when I'm finished. May just a take a bit longer to get on the road than I originally anticipated!

Hmmm made me think of a good thread question...How many times and what damage has your Hudson done to you resulting in the need for urgent professional medical attention?

So far other than the normal cuts and scrapes and bruises my record on the 49 is 2 times within a 3 month span - both for scraping my eyeballs! No stiches or lingering after effects yet...knock on wood!]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/14209/lowering-the-front-end-on-a-step-down Sat, 26 Nov 2005 02:26:00 +0000 billjharris 14209@/forum/discussions

I am a new member and could use some opinions and/or HELP locating of some hard to find parts. Here is what I am trying to achieve with my 37 Hudson series 74 4dr.: It is an original rust free New Mexico car which has approx 66k miles and sat for over 40 years. I have gotten it running again but have just done the basics to get it going. I have to say it's been a hoot, and I have been pleasantly surprised by the crowds gathering around it at the local wends night gathering!



Since I am looking to do a resto-rod and am considering keeping the nice patena on the paint (barn fresh look), I am focusing on the drivetrain and suspension. Needs/Wants: Edmunds alum head, Dual or triple carb intake & extra carbs, another cam to re-grind, person to regrind too!, overdrive for tranny or replacement ford rear end, Headers, distributor upgrade, basically I want to hotrod the orig 8cyl engine/drivetrain so if someone is experienced forward a name & number!



I am planning on flipping the front axle and add lowering blocks to the rear. So if anyone has suggestions on brakes orig or upgrades? Other Original parts Wanted/Needed: Hood ornament base and grill center pieces top to bottom, orig Hudson hubcaps/trim rings, exterior fog lamps & horns, fender lamps, radio, other original options. I am also considering upgrading to 12 Volt, any suggestions/books,etc. Anything else for suggestions or ideas are welcome, (please be nice) I know I am looking for a lot of needles in the haystack but anyones help is appreciated.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/18293/photo-post-test Thu, 09 Feb 2006 14:23:58 +0000 mrsbojigger 18293@/forum/discussions

Pretty simple & neat little Excel spreadsheet - I'm sure someone out there can make it into a script file that wouldn't require Excel - If it already hasn't been done somewhere, and I am 're-creating the wheel'...:rolleyes:]]>
