    Welcome to the Forum!



    There's actually a few other members from Australia and New Zealand that frequent the forum as well.



    I don't know much about the 55's - what are your plans for the car? Restoration, Hot-Rod?

    The first thing you need to do is fix that steering wheel. It's on the wrong side!

    Correction, and I dare you to contradict me, the steering wheel is on the RIGHT side.

    Looks like the body and all of your stainless and chrome is pretty decent! But, as Paul stated, check the framerails very closely. I had a '56 Super Wasp and it was a fine car, though a little slow with the 202.

    Thank you everyone for your response. I actually meet two hudson guys at the swap meet this morning (i walk around with a shirt that says "wanted hudson stuff"). They were very helpful and gave me afew peoples numbers to contact.



    Im not quite sure what i want to do with the 55, i realise its it a BIG job, think i might try and get it running and then sell it. Id rather put my time and money into one of my dream cars, a stepdown or a 50 buick.

    Personally, I would sell it as is and get a stepdown in better condition.
