Happy to have you, Shawn!  There's a fairly large enthusiast group, the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, of which most of the Forum "regulars" are members.  There's also a complete website you can join: http://www.hetclub.org/ .

If you want to join the club there's a "membership" page over there.  If you're not sure yet, then you can join the website as a "limited" member and get to use a few of the bells and whistles.  There's even another forum at that website, but for now this one should do you just fine (actually it's also run by the Club!).

There are a number of Hudson-only parts suppliers and a lot of people in the Club whosell used parts.

You're hereby a "member" of this forum so feel free to post any questions under any of the categories at the left.  We'll try to answer your specific questions as best we can.

Got any photos of the car to post?   Whereabouts are you located?

Welcome Shawn1. We're in the same boat,I too saved a 30 coupe from being rodded. My best source for parts so far has been from people rodding 30-1's. For the most part they were tired of storing the original drivelines. I recently had a vendor friend over and he expressed interest in reproducing camshafts and lifters for these early sixes. After the first of the year I will make an effort to gauge what kind of interest there would be in these parts. Of course the classified adds in the HET Clubs magazine are a great source too along with Ebay sometimes. Got any pics to share?
