the begining of my newest adventure

The start of my 34 H project with some more to follow, things are moving along and parts getting prepped, primed and tagged, cleaned painted etc. Things are rolling along as you can see.

That looks like it is going to be a fun project. Looking forward seeing you progress in the restoration of your 34 Hudson.
May I ask what did you use for media blasting? I would like to blast my project at home to save some money instead of having to outsource it.0 -
Good luck - it'll be nice to see another '34 Hudson on the road.

Very nice, is that the one from EBay awhile back?0

Looks like your off to a good start! Go Man Go!
Does anyone know if the front fender supports are 1934 only? My 35 has short ones or am I missing some parts? Looks like it would give fender much more support.0 -
Yes this was the one Carl and Jim had on Ebay a while ago. I was working on some of the brake system parts earlier today and cleaning up some more things for it. I try to do something on it every day even if it is small. It started off life as a 35 T as far as I know and looks like a never completed late 50s rod project. The frame and floors were chopped up so a new frame was in order anyhow and I was going to do a 34 anyhow so mating the 2 seemed logical.0

This past week looking through the things that I have and need, looks like I need at least 2 shocks, as I have one good front and one rear but I think I have a pair of rears on the way. Brake cables are quite frozen and rears are frayed so those are on the list. I am cleaning and reinstalling the rest of the brake parts and working on other trinkets trying to make it a truly rolling chassis again. So if anyone out there has a line on some shocks please let me know. Thanks Mark0

JHudson,
The fender supports on 1935 are shorter than the 1934 ones, I have restored both, so can say for that sure.0 -
my friend with a '33 T8 conv. was able to find a place back east that made him new brake cables.
I had the chassis of my '33 T8 conv. "powder coated" & it only cost a couple of hundred $$, not sure what they'd charge now as was done over 5 years ago.0 -
You might want to check out this bulletin in the online library:
1942 - 44 Bulletin Service for Service Station Agreement Holders, Bulletin Nr. 76 Brake
Cable Identification.
It's in the 1940-1947 Bulletin section

Interesting detail difference between the 34 and 35 body mounts. The front mount seems to be the same, but the centre and rear mounts are a different style.
The chassis is upside down in these photos. First photo is of the front and centre mounts, the second photo is of the rear mount. And while I'm at it, a shot of the shorter 35 front fender supports.
ra4jumb, a PM is on its way

I know that there are differences in springs and the entire cable system is different for 35 so I believe the cable to be 34H in the front and 34 all in the rear. I noticed the different front braces were different as well, as similar as the two years are the differences are surprising. The dash area is different due to the crank out window, the rear fenders, hood, shell, trim, and I am sure I am just scratching the surface. I have the car down to just the body and the butchered frame that was under it.0

Thanks, a long way off but I am charging ahead with every spare moment to work on some part of it. We will see how long as I have never built anything from pieces of so many cars or starting literally from the ground up so far parts from 4 cars that I have and a bunch of stuff from about 6 others and ebay and swap meet stuff from who knows how many. So far it is fun though, trying to get the details right as I go like I have with some of my GTOs. Mark0

You're getting along pretty well. Very nice work! Will watch it with interest. Michel0
-
Thanks Drag link and one backing plate were today's project. when I get the brakes back together I will post some pics. Mark0
-
Here is my latest progress, it will all have to come apart again to replace the cables but for now it is together and all is off my bench so I can move on. The column and all associated parts are still in the works. The shocks are modern ones that have similar travel that needed some adjustment (not much though) and should work well. The replacement column is in there but the tube and all is yet to come.0
-
To answer an earlier question that I missed I used plain sand from our local sandblast supply place I think triple 0 grade. Doing these frames takes a really long time, I think I had about 20 or so hours into it, there are a lot of hidden spaces in it.0
-
Looks great Mark, not wasting any time on it I see
. Keep the pics coming ! 0 -
Nice project !
It looks like there is an ET8 just behind !0 -
Yes that is the one I just finished putting back together, mostly original paint, all original interior etc that was partially apart. Drove it for the first time in Nov. A couple of little things left and it will be rolling regularly for the first time since the early 50's. Mark0
-
Well I finished the column up and I am working on the steering wheel, dug out the transmission, started cleaning that up looks nice inside and shifts well, and am in the process of working on the pan between the front fenders and the rear body pan. Oh and I found this in a box that came with the Conv and gave it a bit of a clean up. More to follow...0

ra4jumb - If you will look on the lower right side cowl of your '33 you will see this very same tag indicating the body was built by Hudson.0
-
The Tag on the 33 is different but in the same place if my memory serves me right.....Now I will have to go out in the garage, you have me thinking. Here is what today is shaping up. Yes that is not a 34 trans, it is a 37 as my dad has told me it is a better one to use as it is a bit tougher. Mark0
-
This little tag is what resides on my 33 in the same place as the other one I have pictured, I was so curious I had to go an look.0
-
The one on mygh 1933 Model K Essex-Terraplane Coach is just like the one pictured in your 1:40 PM post. Seems strange that they would be using two different styles of tags.0

Jerry-
Different body plants?0 -
Had both of those badges (that come with the coupe) and I had them both gold coated as well as the screws
it wasn't expensive If I remember it was only $40-00 NZ$ for all of them and you don't have to polish them on a regular basis put them on 4 years ago and still look great
