I have a 52 Hudson Pacemaker that is in pretty bad shape. I want to rat rod it and chop the top. Has anyone any experience on a 52 chop that would be willing to share your knowledge. The rear roof pillar around the rear glass is what's got me confused. THANKS!!!! JAK

    You don't state whether it's a 4 door or 2 door car. The coupe and the 2 door sedans pose different problems. For the rear window, it's usually easier to lay down the stock glass rather than put a rear glass in from another car although I've seen both methods done effectively.



    FYI...modification posts are usually better received in the "Street Rod" sub section on this forum.

    I know this will sound dumb in the digital age but since it sounds like you are going to do the work yourself - I have always found old books to be a big help - I did a quick search on ebay and there were a couple of books under 20.00!

    A half hour on google et.al might even yield some websites

    Even if you want a rat rod look - do a nice job and make it safe!
