First let me say...I think your Hudson is gorgeous....in-fact, its' probally the best looking one I've ever seen.....but for the life of me, I don't understand why you haven't decked it....and please don't tell me you like the look of the trunk handle...
The prerequisite of any custom was to 'nose and deck'...followed by other modifications (exceptions were 60's customs which had very limited body mods, but lots of accesories-lakers, dummy spots, wild paint etc) Lately I've seen cars with the door handles removed, but not nosed and decked....???
I know its your car, but just go back and visit the old magazines, you won't find any customs with the deck handle still on.....

You must not be too perceptive. Try looking at the whole thread and new pictures.

 

Keith, the car looks killer. Great job!

 

I am not usually a Hudson guy but that is a sweeeeeet looking ride! I am sure any color you pick will be right considering your eye for bodywork.

 

your car is comin out very nice man, i need to move to washington those pics are beautiful

Oh...! Nevermind.....

 

I have been watching the changes this car has been going through, and its great to see it finally in colour.

 

Damn nice, great to see more Hudsons out there!!!

 

Car looks really nice with some color. What are the tires and the size?

Thanks,
Keith
