What engine does this headgasket fit?
I would assume it would have to be an Hudson Invader engine. It does make the 8 gasket look small.

Les and I used to work together and he is the reason I have a '73 wheel horse tractor. He liquidated his tractor collection (except for some favorites) and bought a Hudson! John Forkner and I looked at this 46 early this year and Les got a ni…

Iron high comression head in car on E-bay
I had one of those heads on my 51. It was cracked and Jeff Perkins bought it from me to do some analysis on it. He was going to check the volume of the chamber and other things about it. It has this tag on it. [attachment=12260]photo_2011-10-1…

Rubber stapled to inner fenders
Kim, actually this is my stepdown (51 HH 2dr Hardtop). I had thought of taking a stapler and trying to staple through the existing holes. It would be time consuming but may look ok. I was thinking of ordering from McMasters for the rubber, but wa…

Looking for motor and trans mounts for Packard 352
Bart, there is a 56 Hudson sitting in a Marshalltown junkyard that is about to be crushed. It has a Packard V8 in it and the engine looks pretty clean. I can put you contact with the guy you can buy the car from. You dont have very long though.

Now Alex you should know by now. It is everybody else who is crazy. We are the only sane ones around. I actually had quite a few cops look me over and just keep on driving. The only time I got nervous was when my outside temperature gauge hit …

Jefferson Green/Beige top color formula?
Ok, it looks like O'Reilys was able to match the old paint codes with a Dupont code. It is an acrylic enamel and for now I got it in single stage. Here are the Dupont codes and the mix for reference: Jefferson Green Poly: YM164 K 845J Tra…

Hudson Hornet Tatoo
I told my daughter that when I was 70 I might get a Hudson tatto (I am 41 right now), she said "Why dont you wait until you are 80 and almost dead?". Ah out of the mouth of babes (ok, she is 14, but still a baby to me.)

Chuck's 1910 Hudson home safe
Alex, the axels were 62" across and the inside of my box was 67" at the widest. The hardest part was getting the front spindles "inside" the pickup box. Once that was through, the rest was easy. Evan wanted to ride up in the s…

Chuck's 1910 Hudson home safe
No, it is not my 1910. I was hauling it home to Iowa for Chuck Bogaard. Chuck had the 1930 Hudson Coupe at OKC. His enclosed trailer is behind mine in the picture.

OKC National pictures
That is John Forkner's 39 panel van. The picture shows its good side. The other side is full of bullet holes. Really cool.

Idea to get more young members in HET
Dan, I failed to applaude you for your sponsorship of your son's friend. This is the type of thing that our members need to do. It is hard for the HET Club to do anything financially due to the tight budget. Same goes for any type of scholar…

Dan, I thought I would point out that the Studebaker Club's junior membership was the same price as their 2nd class mail price. Our second class mail membership is $30 and our First Class is $43. Their first class mail membership is $60. I wo…

Rare 52 Hornet with "302"
One other humorous detail is that no one on the site pointed out that it is not a 52 but a 53. Hood scoop and no angled bars in the grill. Didnt even notice.

Rare 52 Hornet with "302"
StillOutThere, I think you need to ask this seller about his 41. It seems that you have the interest, and the desire to find out more. So go ahead and find out and if it is interesting, you should post it on the board. What I thought was humoro…

Gas Tank out of my '39 Hudson 112 -
I had great success with POR15's gas tank sealer. It has several steps that really get the tank clean. One think I did find is that when you do the final step of coating the tank you really have to move. I taped up all the holes, took it out…

ID Hudson from Photo
Just a couple of comments. From what I can see of the headlights, they are not can-type, so it has to be 1921 or earlier (I know I included 22 and 23, I now recant that : ). If it doesnt have can-type lights, and it is definitely not a 27, 28 or 2…

ID Hudson from Photo
It looks to be a 17-23 Hudson Speedster. I believe it is a Speedster (5 pass touring) due to the low door height. The 7 passenger, the top of the backseat was not visible, there was instead a body piece that ran up over the top. It is hard to tel…

Actually the words are backwards nearer the middle. Look at about time 3:10, all the words are backwards.

Geoff, actually I think it is a l.h.d car. I noticed in the beginning that the words were backwards on the screen. Hence I think the whole video is reversed. Not sure how that would have happened but thats what it looks like to me. Let me know i…

The great '54 Chrysler myth
Early Super six engines 1916-1923 are gear driven and therefore the cams turn in the opposite direction as well. 1924 they started using a timing chain.
