SHOP UPDATE: I scored a 1932 Hudson coupe !!







After 15 years of periodic badgering, I was finally able to purchase this 1932 Hudson coupe body and frame. It is definitely one of the cleanest bodies I have ever purchased. I don't know anything about Hudsons. Is this a rare body style? I am missing a couple of essential parts, if anybody has a few parts or knows where I might find some I would really appreciate some information. Thanks for letting me share my story.

SHOP UPDATE: More photos of John's 41 Ford





 I guide coated the hood this morning to find all the body work. I had to weld some cracks and repair some damage. Next is the filler work and get ready for paint.









I spent the rest of the day finishing tacking the boxing plates and adding the gussets and such to strengthen all the mounts and brackets. Tomorrow I should disassemble the entire chassis for final welding and grinding. I hope to finish in a day or two and send it out for powder coat along with the engine for rebuild. Thanks for looking. I hope its not to boring!

SHOP UPDATE: Here are some shots from the Butte car show at the Civic Center today

   





































I took Joe's 37 Ford pickup  to the Copper City Gear Jammers car show at the Butte Civic Center today. There were some really cool cars there today. I had a great time and made some new friends. The truck was very popular and we won the best in progress award even though the truck is pretty much finished. Not everybody gets it.
