Looking for someone to restore '49 Hudson

Unknown

My grandfather gave me a '49 Hudson a few years ago which I love... it was my father's. I would love to get it back onto the road. Needs some engine and body work (last out about 4 yrs ago) also, maybe give it more of a hot rod feel... paint etc... the car is in Minnesota. Loads of sentimental value.. can anyone help me out with names or websites?... I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

I'm sure someone here will be able to point you in the right direction, lots of knowledge around this board. Is yours a sedan, coupe? There are guys that have hotrodded the original drivetrain in these if thats the way you choose to go. Going to put ghost flames on mine 'cause I think they look very cool. Is the flathead in decent shape?

Anyway, good luck with your project, post some pics if you can, and get it out on the road!

the street-rod shop where I hang out is very experienced on Hudsons, they will take a car to any level the owner desires, their labor rate is $40.00 per hour, If you can dream it they can build it.
