As a kid, I grew up hearing the Hudson firing order was different. At the time, I barely knew what a firing order order was. Much later, I "learned" the difference was because the Hudson crankshaft was configured differently. Specifically, constructed with three swings, with adjoining cylinders, (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) moving in unison. Now that seems to be wrong.

Was the Hudson 6 crank ever made in that configuration, or am I caught between parallel universes, one with conventional Hudson cranks and one with unusual Hudson cranks?

My big world trip continues and my next stop is Iowa. Why Iowa? That's what everyone asks. Family.

So we have about 2 weeks in the Ames, Nevada area with some catching up to do in Des Moines also.

Anything hot rod related in this area over the next 2 weeks?

I'd love to see some local hot rod action while we're there

I bought a 59 Elcamino after chasing one for 15 years or so. Actually, more accurately I bought a jigsaw puzzle that looks like a '59 Elcamino. It is totally disassembled and there were 3 loads of parts that came with the car. Included was a complete extra new mexico rolling chassis. The one under the car is pretty much junk.

I bought it from a gentleman in Florence, KY. About 500 miles from my home. We spent 2 weeks just preparing the trailer to go that far. We repainted the whole thing, fixed all of the lights & replaced a couple entirely & rewired it. New conspicuity stickers (expensive!!) and new wheels & tires. Looks like a new trailer to me.

While we were down in the states we decided to take in the Henry ford Museum. I highly recommend it to anyone that has not gone. We spent 7 hours in it & did not see anywhere near all of it. Planning to go back at some point in time to see the rest. I have a whole bunch of pics but I will only post a few of the HAMB friendly ones.

One crappy thing about the trip though, after the museum we stopped in Toledo Ohio to get a bite to eat & some thieving bastard decided that he needed my tools and all of our clothes more than we did. Made a police report but I don't expect to ever see the stuff again. Kinda put a damper on the trip.

We made a couple of stops on the way home as well. I had to cross the border during business hours with the car in order to import it so we stopped to visit with a couple of friends. I want to thank Mike Farris (Hemifarris here on the HAMB) for his hospitality and patience while I took about 400 reference photo's of his absolutely beautiful '59 Elcamino. I met Mike at the home & shop of a person whose name a lot of you will know, Al Bergler. Al is the gentleman who built (and subsequently rebuilt) the More Aggravation dragster. This car was the winner of the first Ridler award in 1964. IMO, Al is not a fabricator, he is a craftsman. I was drooling on the two rail's that are underway in his garage right now. It was cool to be able to hang out for an afternoon with guys like Mike & Al. Lots of cool stuff in every nook & cranny of Al's garage. Wish I could have spent a bunch more time there but we had to get to the border to get home. Hoping to go back down at some point to hear some more stories & soak up some more history from folks who were there in the thick of it years ago.

This was a little higher then I had thought and am wondering what options might be out there. Im not in a position to go to swap meets etc due to where I work so am looking for other options.

If in the end the $2600 is what it is so be it as I dont make compromises with steering, brakes and tyres as they are critical systems that impact on others safety as well as my own, was just hoping it might be a little less :o ]]> Hokey Ass Message Board panhead_pete http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=508430 Tricks to lifting Model A coupe body... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=508428&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:32:41 GMT OK, I was debating on posting this because I'm sure it is easy enough and a lot of write up on it. However, I could not find it (maybe I used the wrong words). If infact this is a dead horse please just point me in the right direction.

I'm finalizing the deal of my new 31 model A 5w coupe. I will need to take the body off of the frame for mutliple reasons (theft inspection, paint). Are they any tricks to this? Things to watch out for? Should I remove the seats, etc...?

Like I said I'm sure this has been talked about but I could not for the life of me find anything for this specific body.

It looked OK, but it wasn't quite doing it for me. Bit too busy in the engine bay and I thought it would've looked better with hood sides. Googled 'Ferrari hot rod the quail' in search of some more pics.

Found THIS!



Same event, parked right next to each other. No idea if there's any relationship between the two cars, but this one works for me.
