Ok for the door screws you need to soak them in something like WD-40 or any release oil you have in France. You then need a air gun with a shaker bar on it. It has a Phillips screw driver tip on it and when you press it into the screw it shakes like an air hammer and this breaks the grip of the screw.

You need to soak them overnight before you start. If you remove the inner kick panels under the dash at each side you can also get to the back of the screws and spray penetrate there as well.

This is what I used to pull the 4 doors off my 54 parts car and they were pretty tight. Got all the screws out without damage. And you have to be careful its hard to find those screws.

Tool looks like this and you use it on an air chisel.

Here is a link to the tool I am sure you probably have these in France.

The hitch is not factory Hudson did not offer one. Its look like a nice job though it looks like the one that was on my 54 parts car. Custom made to fit the Hudson perimeter frame.

K-Gap sells these. Good progress.

Are you going to sandblast the frame or use a wire brush?
