Get some pics of them on here for us!!!! I really want to see the Hudson.
What does TWIN 350 meen?
I know all about the motovation thing, sometimes I look at my "puzzle" and wonder WTF am I doin here with this junk? and then I spent a day on it and make just a little progress like the upper door frame I just tacked togeather and see the huge change it made and I am all fired up again.
I just want to get the top done so I can get it channeled and down in the weeds and then I will really excited .

More progress............
The old nasty front end is finally gone, it had to be 500 lbs.
In it place is a 47 Ford axle and spindles that now have late model GM disk brakes, I split the wish bone and put on a set of 1/4 eliptical springs and got a nice ride hight.
