Yes and most of the hardware. That is the hard thing to find I can get a engine for this the same day but would be looking for the trim and hardware for the rest of my life.

Now that you metion it, most of the trim is missing. True, the engine would be easier to find. I'm just curious where all the engines have gone see we see so many cars without drivetrains. The same thing with A/C compressers on old Nashes, most are missing.

I mean I have a lot of engines but I don't have the one out of this one. And the A/C compressors I just like those....

Quit hogging. Any more stuff in that garage and the weight concentration will throw the world off axis.

Service is good. Bonding with a child is good. Causing the world to tip...BAD.

Yes now that you mention it I have distributed the engines around the garage to balance things out. Now I want to collect Hudson tranny's so I can pull those down as well.
Yup daughter loves working on the car. She is a Hudson purist.

Fleeew, that's a load off my mind. With all this talk about global warming, and reports of axial tipping being caused by a large iron deposit in Canada, the weather should go back to normal now.
If your daughter is a hudson purist, maybe she can talk you out of doing brake and suspension mods. See, I've been listening.

Nah she loves that type of stuff we only do mods in keeping with the fine tradition of Hudson. Supremely well engineered ad ons of a total unobtrusive nature......

Like I said tasteful. We just finished doing the brakes and its factory all the way. Of course it looks like the day it left the factory under there. Best to do it right I always say. Allowed me to flush out the dot 3 and replace with synthetic Dot 4 works like a charm.
