Fellow Hudsonites, I got a 53 HH sedan, and haven't found anyone offering the rubber parts for the panhard rod. Any ideas? Not on the WRP website but couldn't hurt to ask.

Secondly, speaking of rubber parts, my hornet came to me partially disassembled and hastily reassembles, so I'm missing lots of rubber parts. Got some idea from the old KGap site, as well as WRP, to put together a list of what I need, but...
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the rubber parts needed to restore a 53HH sedan, with focus on body and suspension? I'd sure appreciate it.
Dave

    These pics are already helping me greatly. None of these were present when I got this car, except for the bumpers. From the pics alone I need the upper bumpers, the thread-reinforced brackets (bot right pics), and the panhard rod rubber parts. The rad brackets are beautiful but not needed with my Dodge radiator (I did install rubber grommets). I have the rest of the items above. Let me know how to order the above-mentioned, and thank you.

    Making the list like you did is what most of us do, David. It IS possible to call WRP and tell them you need a complete set for a '5_ Hudson ______. Trouble is , you may be getting some parts you don't need. Like Rick mentioned, not all of their parts are yet listed on their website. They currently still add a few a week and there are dozens more to add. Plus, they come up with new R&D items every week, as well.

    Remember, it's not a C____ or a F___. It's a Hudson. It's a challenge, and the end result is far more satisfying than calling up 1-800- Send-me-a-GM-part.

    Ken U-Tex, do you have a picture of where the rubber shields go that are pictured with the bump stops? I don't recall removing any old rubber shaped like those.

    Thank you for the pictures. I wan't to make sure of what I am looking at in picture two. Is that a view of the right inner fender looking from the tire side so the rubber is below the back side of the headlight bucket? Is that rubber correct for a 54 also?

    thanks
