I am looking for all the mounting hardware for my Hornet. I have the passenger side, however the driver side is missing. Anyone know of a solution or where I can get these parts. I was thinking about buying 50s Chevy headlight buckets and converting both buckets.

Thank you for the help guys!

    I cannot believe that you'll have to resort to cobbling them from Brand-X's. 

    One way to find these is the tried and true method of making a list of your needs and e-mailing it to some of the many Hudson parts vendors who advertise in the WTN.  I wouldn't be terribly surprised if you even found an NOS one!

    Remember, there are a pretty large number of Hudson enthusiasts who are not online, and who won't see your message here.

    Jon,

    I am trying my best to stay away from using anything other than the OEM parts for this. I am on the hunt for original Hudson parts; frankly the thought of cobbling this old beauty doesn't appeal to me at all. I bought this car to restore it back as original as possible and I am still in the research stage. I appreciate the tip on many guys aren't on here that may have parts. I am still so new that I don't have the luxury with contacts; except you guys.

    Paul,

    Thank you for helping with my search. The chrome you are talking about in the rear is for the taillights? I thought those were like a chromed plastic material. 

    Again thank you guys!

    "A" and "F" Hold the Headlight Right? I have "B-E" (THANKFULLY) LOL. What is you asking price for those two parts?

    I really appreciate your help!

    Thank you,
