  • 51 Hornet in Doc Hudson blue... I like it. Why no Twin-H?
  • When it rebuilt the engine gas was $4.25 a gallon, so I decided to keep the 2bbl on it. If it stays below $2.00 this year, maybe I'll have to put a twin h set up on it.

    With or without Twin H, gotta love the Doc Hudson Blue. Works well I think. Only Doc Hudson painted in racing trim gives any indication to the average non-Hudson person of the presence of a Twin H setup. Doesn't look like you plan to go racing with it. You could always put those eyes in the window. lol
  • Doc Hudson tie in or not, that's one nice looking Hudson.
  • Thanks for the kind words. It really makes it all worthwhile.

    Absolutely Beautiful! Love the color. It'll be a knockout out on the road. Looks like you are finishing it up. What is the plan for the interior? Leather a possibility? Tan, Black or even a lighter blue leather would really be sharp.



    Keep up the good work.:)
  • Beautiful, keep sending pics. I really live to see these type of rebuilds, really nice. Love it, thanks for sharing. Bob

    I'm thinking put the jacked up Jimmy in the 2 car with the Hudson- Get Christine by herself. You just don't want to take any chances. . . :eek:

    Initially, I was worried about that, but remember, Doc is a boy car. (LOL)

    Hi Ray,



    My upholstery guy made the carpet. I just picked the color from a catalog he had. How is yours coming along?

    Looks good, Dave. Really like the headliner, it will make the car bright, happy and "open".

    Russ,



    Yes, I agree. It is quite the pleasant change after looking at black POR-15 up there for the last 9 months.



    Have a happy 4th!
  • I got my front seat back from the upholsterer today. What do you think?
