Hey Stone, that´s the typical story... 8 years ago I bought my Hudson and I thought it was a great car for a great price. Well, it turned out that the engine block was cracked, and the body was a bondo queen. It took me 7 years to restore the car... I got a 1951 308 engine from Sweden, lots of parts from ebay, joined the HET club, got a new clutch from Doug Wildrick... and now it´s finally running so well that it took me those 2000mls to Power Meet in Sweden and back... all it needed was two quarts of oil and one new turn signal bulb!
Oh, at some time during those 7 years I watched "Grease". Now the Hudson has a dual fishtail exhaust with flamethrower and a fog machine!
Mike

-thank you so much!!!

No problem. Love the fishtail exhaust. Do you know Roland from Sweden he is another guy on here who attends a lot of shows in his Blue 51 Pacemaker.

Hey Doc!
Nice to meet you here! And nice pics from sweden! Västeras is one of the best meetings which we can reach without using an airplane...
And I'm very happy that the classiccar-forum works again from here. YEAH!!! GREAT!
Thanks to all who complained there about these problems, it was not useless!

Hi Tom! -there´s not so many hudson places on the internet, so sooner or later we meet on all those forums! How is your engine and clutch revisison going?
Hi Roland! Thank you so much for the invitation! Actually I will be going next year again... after all, Västeras is our "European Nationals" ... there´s more Hudsons there than anywhere else on the old continent! Looking forward to see you next year!
Kind regards from Germany
Mike
