Does anyone have knowledge of this company's products? http://stores.ebay.com/Classic-2-Current-Fabrication/_i.html?_nkw=HUDSON&submit=Search&LH_TitleDesc=1&_sid=11757742

Do they really fit what they say they do? If so, it would seem like a great boon to those restoring rusty Hudson bodies!

    Hi Jon,

    I purchased the full trunk pan that they offer for the step downs. I was less than impressed. The formed beads on the original was "imitated" by a sheet metal finger break that are much less deep (from what I can tell). I haven't welded it in yet, but it'll probably work out okay but will be obvious that it's not original. At least the sheet gauge is nice and thick....feels pretty solid.

    Baloney! For short runs of these humps like we need, a 'continental' aluminum punch and die could be cast easily and put in a healthy press to make some. It wouldn't last for a thousand parts but should make a hundred OK.

    I actually made one for the 40 coupe by welding up a couple of pieces of sheet metal, using cardboard for a pattern.

    Ken Ufheil made some for awhile. Maybe he'll chime in with why he quit.

    Hmmm, Ken, not familiar with Kirksite. Must have come on the scene after I retired the first time.

    I have read that the original body dies for the E Type Jaguar were concrete.
