Hudson Porn Chop
Well I have been asked several time post some pics of my hudson chop and I am finally getting around to it. 296V8 did a post before it went to sacramento autorama heres a link http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...porn&showall=1 That was a slammed week for me as I took a few days off work to chop the car. That turned into 12 to 14 hour days and I cut the windshield at 3 oclock on set up day then took it to Sac very unfinished very last minute. Pontiac heaven picked up the window clip for me in Arizona which I still owe Steve some cash fo his hassle grabbing the clip and getting it to Ca. Steve If you read this I will cash you out and buy you beer in bakersfield
 Heres some pics of the begining of the chop.

Re: Hudson Porn Chop
Those last pics show the pre chop profile and the change out of the front window opening. i hated the 2 piece windshield so I grafted in the cowl top and window opening sheetmetal from a 54 hudson leaving A pillar structure alone at that point. i figured it was the place to start so it stayed lined up.
Then I removed the rear window opening area and cut the roof off after some carefule planning. |

Re: Hudson Porn Chop
These pics are of the rear window area panel. I used a 56 olds trunk lid for the panel below the window it was super close to fitting but I put a little more crown in the panel with an english wheel. Heres some pics of the post chop profile. The chop is close to what Hudsoncustom did here on the Hamb except I changed the windshield, slanted the b pillars and chopped it touch more. i did the rear window area a little different as the back glass is different in my 53. I have since finished the inner structure and am now mocking up a front end change I'll post pics of that soon.

Re: Hudson Porn Chop
I love to see chopped tops. Never seen a Hudson done before but I think it looks great.

Re: Hudson Porn Chop
Nice Merc....
Sorry, I'm sure you hear that all the time..VERY nice chop, well thought out cuts, perfect profile. What happens to the drip rail around the C pillar area? Will it kind of fade away or go all the way to the belt line? Nice work, -Abone.

The drip rail stops and that's it! Unless someone has a good Idea? Heres some pics of the stock trim and one I cut down. I dont care for either so the drip rail itself gets a stainless cover and some belt line trim thats it. I kinda dont know what else to do with it. LTR Dave |

Re: Hudson Porn Chop
Should I go with the 56 old headlight trim ring on the left
 or the buick on the right?  They have both been done to death I know but they both look good to me what do you guys think? LTR Dave By the way it look like I just figured out to do better pictures |

I like the Olds ones as well. The restyle on the front is looking good. Here are a couple of Custom fronts I have done on Hudsons
