Hi Guys:

We are trying to expand our inventory of parts that are not available at this time. We are currently working on getting glove boxes made for hudson. We would like to expand to door cards, firewall insulation, kick panels, rear package trays, hood insulation etc. At some point, we made need to get some measurements/examples from members since I dont have a good template on hand. If we can get an example we will furnish you a new set for free.

Is there anything else that you feel is need? Please let me know.

Hi Russ, guess you didn't know that Vintage Coach has had the glove boxes repo'd for quite some time. Check with Jason for details.

Thanks Marconi:

Will we will also be selling them.
Glove boxes available from 1933 up to 1954. $48 each mostly plus shipping

R & R-

That's great news! Do you have the measurements for the glove box? I have a loose one that could be measured if you need it. I also currently have templates made for 2drs. that are loose and could be utilized for patterns if you need it.

Also, I have made repro toe boards (to factory specs) if you y'all want to stock some of those. Can send you pics.

Firewall insulation, YAAYYYY!! You can put me down for one whenever you have them.

Lastly, I can make a pattern for rear package tray, sedans, if you need it.

Let me know how I can help!

O.K. Russ, just hate to see somebody trying to re-invent the wheel!

Rubber since K-gap seems to no longer be a source. I have got to do all four doors, trunk, hood, taillights before the spring rains.

Pacemaker500, I have the window channeling, Division Bars and beltlines (Fuzzies) for your Sedan, $145.00 + S & H. If you want the channeling preformed add $50.00. Victor Z ,, (562) 237-4819, thez@verizon.net. Spring is on the way and I need to pay $$$$$$$$$$$$ for a room at the National.

Just a plea from me: whenever any of you gets underway selling new repro's, please let me know and I'll gladly list them on my Hudson Repro pages. (This is also a good way to find out just what is currently being reproduced for Hudsons.) http://www.detailedconcepts.net/Repro_Table.pdf

Russ, one thing we REALLY need is gas tanks.

Someone at this season's Doc's in Front Royal, VA was touting a new stainless tank made for a Hudson (stepdown I believe)... From what I recall, it was pretty reasonable.

Jon (or anyone that was there) - Did you you recall, or did you get their info? I seem to recall seeing something in a thread on this, not sure - Will need to look/search.

Hudzilla

Well you won't have to worry about 48-53 rockers. I'm reproducing them. The prototypes came out great.

SuperDave

Lance,
More details please! how about some pictures? nothing I like better than a little shameless promotion!

GrimGreaser

http://rickstanks.com/ have made Stepdown gas tanks. $600-700 I think.

May I suggest making the interior panels out some more resilient material than cardboard?

Hudzilla

OK Dave will do. :)

SuperDave

Here is a pair of parts I have had difficulty finding.. Left and right glove box bumpers for 48-50. PN 212547 48-50 fits inner. PN 21548 fits 48-50 outer .Then switch sides and they fit 51-53. I don't see a difference in left and right on the ones I have, but they could have been changed. They sure make opening the glovebox door easier.

Found the earlier thread on stainless tank, shown at Doc's -
http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/160396/stainless-steel-gas-tanks-for-any-car-/p1

Supposed to be around $200.00 (Less than the cost to get a tank refurbished!).

Per the post - Check with "Dave S" for info on the TN vendor...

I hope they put a drain plug in the corner, to get rid of bad gas.

Full Line used to make the glovebox door bumpers that SuperDave is looking for.

The gloveboxes are the same for 42-47, but 1940 and 1941 are both different. Can help with woodgraining for 1941.

Here's my wants; if anybody here has a clue on these, please let me know:

1. I need the rear quarter window rubber for 1941 Hudson coupe. Those are probably the same as the rear window. I think I had ordered and possibly paid for those a couple of years ago from K-Gap, but it never turned up. Probably it's the same stuff used on many different autos, but I just am not sure.
2. Has anybody considered reproducing the dashboards for 1940 and 41 Hudsons? I think someone is doing the1942-47 dashes. I'm talking about the plexiglass strips and the script/instrument markings. Those are different for Hudson Six, Super Six, and Commodore.
3. Looking for the stainless trim piece, bottom center of grille (yes, the curved one that always gets smashed). This is for the SWB Deluxe series. The Supers and Commodores had diecast pieces, and I have one of those I would trade. I had contacted Lee Pontius and Charley Dorsey and they also couldn't find one.
4. Radio for 1941 Hudson and associated aerial/mounting pads.
5. I think Vintage coach is selling reproduction front fender signal lamps. Anybody bought those, and how did they work out?

Would like to have a good source of rubber for making gaskets for lights for my other projects. Something that I can mark with patterns of the old material and cut them out (not the cheap low density rubber stuff). This is for a 60's car resto where there are even fewer repo materials available.

Thanks,
Tim

I took these pics at the Roanoke Virginia 2012 Eastern Regional. Some of you may know this gentleman's name. He was the owner of the 46-47 Hudson pick-up truck. Just can't recall at this moment but he was selling tanks like this one if I remember well. Hope this help. Michel

Newbie here, looking for vent glass rubber seals for a 55 hudson rambler custom 4 door. Or if anyone knows what else may work. This is not a show car car, just a nice clean driver. Thanks

Nevada Hudson

Need vent glass rubber for 55-57 Hudsons, will fit Nash too.

Jon B

Newbie, the '55 Hudson Rambler was badge-engineered from a Nash prodcut and in fact its parts virtually all interchange with the Nash-badged Rambler (of which many more were built than Hudsons). I don't know much about the Nash / AMC parts situation but I'd imagine that your time may be better spent in checking with Nash / AMC vendors and at Nash / AMC internet forums. Not trying to drive you away from here, though -- you never know what might be hanging around in some Hudson vendor's parts bin!

mcollins

Thanks for the info Jon. I'm finding out that this car is a little odd with all the different badges on iit. Grill emblem, horn button and hub caps Hudson. Gas cap, dash name plate, trunk lock handle, and fender emblems Rambler. Rear bumper gaurds plate surround Nash. Maybe they knew their days were numbered and were using up all their stock.
