Oh yeah, the mad painter got his brushes on it before I could tell hin Congrats. Love it man! I remember the first time I saw one of these on the dirt track, a 49 Olds was ruling the local track and a Hudson showed up from Kansa as I remember. It blew the doors off the Olds and lapped it in the feature race. I was an instant fan, it was a twin-H four door model and dead on bad ass. ~sololobo~
The front shoes are wider than the rear. Hard to find. Suggest you have the ones you have relined. There is a Ford shoe that has to be modified to work. The rear shoes are common. Napa is a good source for the rear shoes, hoses and wheel cyl. Hope this helps. Hud
Man that Huddy beats a Merc every day of the year, and thats one sweet survivor U scored. If I'd had the sheckles to be deliberate about the vintage tin I've started building, I''d have gone that direction! However I was opportunistic, and took the best cheap tin I could lay hands on, not that I'm complaining... I luv's my 55 F-100 goin old school custom bomb! Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad

Rincon, GA......The first true love of my life Amy Hindley lived there. Stupid Navy guy that I was let her go when I changed duty stations. Nice car. I love the old Hudsons.
i think i got my front shoes from kanter too. most of the other stuff was available locally. hoses i had to get online. i usually rebuild the wheel cyls myself. if you get a chance to get Walt Mordenti's sp? tech tip books he has a great article on setting up and adjusting the brakes like the major brake adjustment in the hudson procedure manual. his books are vey cheap too.
Just found this post. Nice find on the Hudson and the lettering looks great. Keep the updates coming and roll that thing to Charleston when it's done!
Looks great,nice signwriting job wish I could do half as well.Don't know about putting a chevy in it though it may reject it.
