Hey Kerpele,

thanks for posting. I like what you did to the interior. Is the engine out of a T-Bird as well? the interior looks like its out of a 60's T-Bird. Great job considering it must be hard to find Hudson parts in Finland.

Can you show us some pictures of the dash?

What are you using for a headliner? or are you just going to leave it in paint. I see you mounted some guages inside the dash. That works ok.

A car that nice should be in a garage. Since you did such a great job restoring your car, I bet you can build a nice garage. Laughing
