    I think this link will work better...

    http://www.egbertsstreetrods.com/hudson.htm



    There's a lot of cool pictures there, showing everything that was done to it.



    Nice looking car.

    That's sweet! I especially like the brake cooling gills on the rear quarters, and the suicide doors! The Halibrand's look hot, too!
    "The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot,
    And whether pigs have wings..."

    About 5 years ago, there were a couple of enterprising guys in Susanville California that had customized 4-5 Hudsons with gull wing doors. They were using Camaro subframes and I sold a half a dozen to them when I owned my wrecking yard. I wasn't back into Hudsons at the time or I would have taken a lot of photos when I saw the cars at Hot August Nights in Reno. If I can locate them, I think I still have the names of the guys for future reference. Gull wing doors are really cool!

    Gull wings would be sweet! I do like the suicides as well! Very awesome rides! Whats the grill on that 48? I really like the subtle flame job, thats the look I want for flames on mine 50 Pace.

    I ran across an article about the two people that have built a number of custom Hudsons in Susanville, Ca. The articule shows their chopped coupes. Jrail may want to contact them about information on chopping the top on his Pacemaker. They apparently do this as a hobby only and do not work on other people cars. There names are Norm Willingham and Walt Reynolds. Jay let me know if they have information as I would like to chop my Pacemaker also. If you want I can contact them.

    You can contact them arionrjw. I don't think its in my budget right now for a chop, though it may well be in the future. Do you have pics of your Pace you can send me? Thanks

    Those are the two guys I was talking about. Nothing but quality work. I know of at least two cars that they have completed.
