    I have recently pulle my 36 hudson 8 out of storage to finaly begin its full restoration. I have sorted through all my parts and misc crap. I am missing a radiator. I was wondering if anyone out there has or knows anyone that has one that is repairable or at least the upper and lower tanks with cap or not. If some one has one of the front inner and outer front door handles around that would be great :)



    I also have an aluminum head and a cast head for a 6. not shure whitch 6 though. i have 2-3 carbs (rebuildable), intake/exhoust, oil pan, some rods 3 distributors, some push button silinoids all for a 6. I also have a (possibly rebuildable) fuel pump. An old starter a few pully's. I DO not want to scrap or junk these parts. I would like to find good homes for them to people that need them. Im not looking to make a killing on the parts just a little compensation.



    Thanks

    I am looking for a radiator or radiator tanks for my 36 hudson 8. That is just about the only part I am missing for the car other than one running board. I am also looking for maybe some tips on restoreing the bottoms of the doors on my car. Considering I doubt i can get new door skins :-)



    I also have som variouse parts for sale. I have an aluminum intake for the 6 cylinder and a cast intake for a 6. I have a few carbs, a few distributors, an oil pan, a fuel pump, a push button starter sylinoid, intake exhoust manifold and an good shape 36 terriplane/8 grille (metal grille with chrome front for the 8)

    I have an NOS '37 H8 3 1/2" core radiator made by a manuf. in Ohio; not sure if this will fit a '36.

    It an NOS core, NO tanks, but any radiator shop can swap them over.

    $500 which would inc. shipping.

    This is an original ribbon core, not a reproduction.

    Made by "The Lake Auto Radiator Mfg. Co. Cleveland, Ohio" on the original packing case.

    Please e-mail me directly at: oldhudsons@aol.com if any other questions.

    For comparison, I had a well-known and very reputable company in NY make a new honeycomb core for my '36. It was beautiful, but it was also $1200. Ouch!
