    Something about the lines on this car look better than original. I held the edge of a sheet of note book paper up to the side view picture of the belt line on your car and it is as straight as can be. Was that luck or did you make that happen? It seems that most Hudsons of this era have a tipped up hood, in the front/grill area which makes the whole car appear bent down in the middle. Which ever the reason, the result is good. The body lines look good.



    I enjoy seeing the craftsmanship, please keep the pictures coming.

    Thank you guys for the compliments. It's very much appreciated. :) As I have a great deal of respect for the people on this forum.



    Mr. Chapin, yes, I did alter the mounts on the front fenders in order to make the belt-line straight. I also made the fender to cowl fit better. They always seem to not line up in that spot. I did a couple of little things like that to try and make the car more like how I think the designers would of wanted it. But the Hudson factory maybe just couldn't spend the time fussing over.



    Funny, I didn't think anyone would notice exactly what I did. I thought it would just look right to someone, without them knowing really why.:)

    -Roy Chapin-, we might get to see this car done after all. Maybe?

    That brings back memories ! I had a 47 Commodore 8 convertible that color.
    Tan top and brown interior. Was a stand out combo.
    Thanks for posting it.
