@mrs abe tbh sticker printing is very easy, or for a better finish they could make the stencil to paint on. I guess after they poured in soo much effort to the car, they kindda wanted to keep it like a normal car than totally cartoon-ish.
Coolest looking Hudson ever! I remember when that car was new. They were always considered an old man's car. Even when they won a lot of NASCAR races it wasn't very well known. Love the way they did it! Everybody did a chopped '49 or '50 Merc but never saw one of these. As far as the Bondo, all good paint jobs use a very thin coat to smooth out the body panels. It's probably not more than a 16th of an inch thick at most. I wish they would have shown more of the finished car though with the interior and everything. The trouble with doing these for a tv show means they have to have it "finished" in a certain period of time.
Teamwork, craftsmanship, sharp minds, artistic ability, capability, patience , results etc.etc.. That Hudson makes it to the fine ride category !!!!! 👍👍👍👍
My neighbor next to our shop had like 7 Hudson’s in his unit. He had a nicely restored ‘53 green hornet. The others he would only want to start them up and drive them like that. Nice spec! 👍🏻
of course they don't most of them Most likely Drive Imports or Chevys and don't know what Soul is, the problem with PN is at times they are out of touch with there viewers but again most people Cant Leave Cars as they were they have to do something ( normally what EVERY OTHER Car builder does ) to make them Stand out when one day Stock will be the new Custom.
Lil Miss Moffat and her little friends dont know what a cool custom car this turned out to be. You guys must carpool in Jonathan's Fiat 500 to get around town.
@@Mr.Safety. It is not restored to it's original as possible. It takes time to restore anything. The research it takes and knowledge because you have to custom built parts would not fit in one TV show.
Brings back memories of restoring a1951 Hudson Hornet with straight 8 love how it drove around in the parking lot lol great job when you got that many helping too Thumbs up fellas
That is a thing of beauty. I don't understand all the negative comments I know it's not original because it is better than the original. If anyone says they would not love to own that rolling piece of art is either a liar or a fool! Nice job!!!
All these negative comments. This is what the owner wanted. Look at the craftsmanship involved. These guys are on another level. Refabricated the whole vehicle.
theres probably a reason they DIDNT do that. I would know because I own a hudson. Sourcing parts for a Hudson is damn near impossible as the manufacturer, Hudson Motor Car Company, was bought by AMC not long after those Hornets rolled off the assembly line, plus idk about back then but i know now that aftermarket parts are usually made based off of demand, if theres no demand, then they wont make the parts. back to the car though, finding a 308 ci hudson straight 6 with the dual carb twin H power air cleaners AND a 4 speed hydromatic will be nearly impossible, harder than finding individual parts for those cars, atleast without having to buy another fully restored hudson and ripping THOSE parts off just to throw them into another car
My guess would be that they thought it was pretty easy.. because it is a hornet... It's not even close to say... a Toyota Camry... So yes... Hornet badging is appropriate.
@Adrian Vegas I know what your saying, and agree that it's not a factory Hornet... It's a restomod. When restomods are done well, I'm not opposed to them. It's a second life for an old car that would more then likely end up as scrap going to China. There are plenty of 100% factory correct cars though.
They should have tried to redo it to the original color and restore it to it's original glory as much as possible. It looks nice but not like a true restoration job. It would take to much time and research to try to get to it's original glory as possible on a TV show.
When we were kids these cars were huge. But as adults they were built like a tank and floated down the street. Some of my fondest memories were in those old cars. Not all of the 20th century was bad.
Oh no, an original Hudson Hornet. I clicked because thought you were restoring it to spec. I'm sure you guys did a fine job, and the final product looks great, but I could not bear to watch past the moment you cut the roof off. Like another commenter said: " what a lost opportunity to rebuild the original Fabulous Hudson Hornet".
I can always tell when people have a passion for what they do as their workmanship is simply astounding! Good job. In SoCal, my neighbor had a chopped hornet, just screamed the 60s cholo scene, just love it guys!
I’ve got to say you have some real clever dudes there and I think the results speak for themselves It is stunning I especially like the interior It is fantastic 😍😍👍👍
Seeing a lot of haters in the comment blocks. Not sure how I feel about the chopping and all, but the paint is stunning (even if you don't like the colour). I just wish we still had these shows on weekly on TV, it was what my Saturday mornings were all about. Get up early, just me and my sweet dog Sandy, and make breakfast while everyone else slept. We'd chew thru a pound of bacon watching the Powerblock...
There is no description for this work ... I will not say excellent, but there are several degrees of excellent ... But thank you for everyone who worked on this rare masterpiece ... even if this work was simple.
I just bought my first truck about 2 months back and it’s a 49 power wagon bought it with my own money at 15 it might be rusty and not run but there’s potential
Man I've been looking for a 10-minute restoration of a Hudson Hornet for a while! Kind of disappointed that I ended up with an 11-minute resto instead... Even though I'm bummed by that I guess it was a good video
This is literally my dream job. I just turned 20 and I was going to pursue a degree for this but I figured it would be too hard finding a job like this in the field. Still really want too
If anyone has ever built a car you know just how hard what these guys did was. Beautiful build guys!
Can I say (& I know many others would back me up on this) it's like a lost opportunity to create "The Fabulous (Doc) Hudson Hornet" 😭
@mrs abe tbh sticker printing is very easy, or for a better finish they could make the stencil to paint on.
I guess after they poured in soo much effort to the car, they kindda wanted to keep it like a normal car than totally cartoon-ish.
The Faboulous Hudson Hornet is a Real thing you know. It existed in real world.
Sooo It’s not so cartoonish isn’t it ?

The Olds in my town calls it dirt derby not Nascar.
If I was old I'd buy one
It brings my old memories with Disney's movie cars
Its Doc Hudson the Hudson Hornet
Uuiuy g
Pixar. Not disney
Yeah yeah

A beautiful restoration of a classic car. I like what I see what you and your crew did.
I would never chop a Hudson. They were beautiful stock cars but, it's not my car and if it makes you happy or, the bidder. Good on you!
What an absolutely SWEET ride! The Color is Perfect!
How in God's name can you chop up a Hudson! Have you no souls!
of course they don't most of them Most likely Drive Imports or Chevys and don't know what Soul is, the problem with PN is at times they are out of touch with there viewers but again most people Cant Leave Cars as they were they have to do something ( normally what EVERY OTHER Car builder does ) to make them Stand out when one day Stock will be the new Custom.
@@DeceptiveCobras That's why OEM+ is a custom trend rn

What's your point? You need reassuring on your personnal taste? I won't give it to you, find it elsewhere
I did not disagree with anyone on this comment thread. Why are you using my name in your pitiful attempt at an attack for?
Chop it up. Cut it up. Fill it with bondo. Does not make sense to me.
I was about to say. How is it a restoration is you're modifying it.
And no Hudson straight 6 Twin Power engine !!!
Plus, all that work... and then paint it... BLUE ??? .
Are you people idiots? Like you guys don’t sound like you know what you’re talking about
@@Shade_tree_garage01 that's because they dont. Some mongoloids don't appreciate a good restomod. ove your channel!

Oh god, I thought they were doing some sort of repair technique when they chopped off the top. But they straight up decapitated the poor thing.
One of the dumbest things!
Chop the top of a perfectly great vehicle. Maybe if damaged.
Only damage that can’t really be repaired properly tho bc minor things can and should be fixed
It looks great, nothing dumb about it.
Idiots, desecrate a classic 51 Hornet by chopping it.
These people are really insane restoration
Awesome build.... nice to bring a classic into the modern age
Should have a Hudson Twin H flathead 6 with an old school 4 speed Hydramatic!
I know the guy that owns this car. He is a Mopar fanatic. The plan was always to put a Mopar drivetrain in it.
Kinda makes sense, since Hudson is an inactive marque of Chrysler (via American Motors).
theres probably a reason they DIDNT do that. I would know because I own a hudson. Sourcing parts for a Hudson is damn near impossible as the manufacturer, Hudson Motor Car Company, was bought by AMC not long after those Hornets rolled off the assembly line, plus idk about back then but i know now that aftermarket parts are usually made based off of demand, if theres no demand, then they wont make the parts. back to the car though, finding a 308 ci hudson straight 6 with the dual carb twin H power air cleaners AND a 4 speed hydromatic will be nearly impossible, harder than finding individual parts for those cars, atleast without having to buy another fully restored hudson and ripping THOSE parts off just to throw them into another car

Oh shut up
👏destroyed a car nice ! You painted the car in bondo after grinding the paint off wtf
Makes it look smooth like glass. But I agree. They did some stuff I don't like.
They should have tried to redo it to the original color and restore it to it's original glory as much as possible. It looks nice but not like a true restoration job. It would take to much time and research to try to get to it's original glory as possible on a TV show.
"Hey, Doc! Come look at this fella on the radio. He looks just like you."
That’s how it’s done! The classic American custom… beautiful work!
That is gorgeous! I’ve met Justin Nichols before and his crew. Great people! Awesome choice in my eyes to have him on the build team!
It was a 51 Hudson Hornet how could u chop it and build it into a 49 Mercury because thats what it looks like
James Ellison sorry I am not big smart with cars but what are the difference they both look beautiful I love classics
@@SpecCodex your not wrong they are both beautiful cars but one was made by ford and the other was a one of a kind rare car brand
James Ellison yes I know someone said Hudson was really rare I guess that gave it a lot more value
@@SpecCodex Yeah Hudson was only made like two years so if u build them back to original they are worth more
You've got no idea what you're talking about, man.
My grandpa has 3 of these sitting in his garage. Even tho they don’t run and they’re all dusty I love staring at them
don't tell these guys where you live. the cars will get hacked up.
When we were kids these cars were huge. But as adults they were built like a tank and floated down the street. Some of my fondest memories were in those old cars. Not all of the 20th century was bad.
Beautiful car! Doc Hudson would be proud.

That’s absolutely the right color combo... holy 💩... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
One of the best build videos I've seen, thanks.
Please tell me they fixed that trim alignment at 10:06
I sure hope so
They did. At the end when they are driving its perfect on that side
Having Ocd is more worse than corona.
Stone Heart im die😂😂😂
very skilled men but a shame to waste a rare car to do this (beautiful of course) work...
Great job! It deserves more interior and exterior footage of the finished car:(
Beautifully restored, great work guys
Doc Hudson just came back with new style
I can always tell when people have a passion for what they do as their workmanship is simply astounding! Good job.
In SoCal, my neighbor had a chopped hornet, just screamed the 60s cholo scene, just love it guys!
That poor car!
What a hack job, all for a tv show.
What are you talking about? It looks great.
Great to see serious people putting these cars back on the road.
All that talent, all the equipment, a rare cool car...and that's what you build?
I love the job you did. However your description is misleading. This was not a resto job, but a rodding one.
It was misleading!
It's truly a thing of beauty
Your crew does deserve an piston Cup 🏆👌👍
Awesome work you guys 👍🇺🇸 Simply Outstanding !
I’ve got to say you have some real clever dudes there and I think the results speak for themselves
It is stunning
I especially like the interior
It is fantastic 😍😍👍👍
Kudos to whoever edited this 👏🏾
It's not easy as we see in video
But its really hard work hatsoff guys Great teamwork awesome made the car back to its original Glory
Best hornet ever! Congratulations!!!!
Never seen the chopping process until now... amazing
Brilliant of brilliant team work

That thing is BAD ASS!
Fabulous build
They make dead things alive..
It's absolutely beyond awesomeness...!!work
I love the this car even if there all rusty but made it look like a car of a movie that I enjoy watching with my kiddos. I'm sold
And they did a really shit job of doing it also
It's look like factory!!! Respect👍👍👍👍
Beautiful car! Great job guys! Love color.
What a beauty!
So impressive.. excellent work ❤️
10:05 front of door that curve omg
You had some nerve to cut up an absolute classic piece.
cutting up and changing a rare car
Now it's even rarer(one of a kind).
Restomod or crusher. One is far better then the other.
I agree 💯 with you 👍
Great job guys
My first car was a 49 Hudson man I miss that car
I just bought my first truck about 2 months back and it’s a 49 power wagon bought it with my own money at 15 it might be rusty and not run but there’s potential
I want a 81 delorean or a 69 dodge charger
I love when on so many restoration or rebuild videos they just drill the car after being painted... so the car begins to rust right in the garage...
Mis respetos para esos grandes artistas restauradores magníficos trabajos que realizan los dejan de maravilla
Result is so good no one would believe it was wrecked in the first place
Badass! Has the looks of an old traditional kustom build 👍🏻. Wish there were details in the build.
Outstanding and balanced.
Artists, all of em!
You all did an amazing job, 👍🏻 it looks like a fine jewel. I wish I could see more photos of it finished.
beautiful machine
MURICA...,.!!!!!!
GUYS you are the best.
“They don’t build ‘em’ like they used to” Cuts it to pieces
Man I've been looking for a 10-minute restoration of a Hudson Hornet for a while! Kind of disappointed that I ended up with an 11-minute resto instead... Even though I'm bummed by that I guess it was a good video
Absolutely. The audacity of these people to advertise a ten minute video with a full freaking eleven minutes of content... I just, can't believe it.

Wish these guys would help my son with the 67 Mustang I had to quit working on because of an accident that I was involved in.He could sure use a hand!

and ofcourse one tone of car putty! Well done! Bravo!
Would have loved to see a modern straight six power it. Turbo Vortec 4200 or something.
No! It is a classic car!
Amazing built man

I cant imagine it without eyes

from the movie Cars ahh brings back old memories of watching cars as a kid back in 2010 or 2009
Super clean
Congratulations from Brasil, guys! 👏👏👏
After days of hard work, I love this 10:13, hear the engine roars, the sad thing is, "Authenticity"
10:06 That fender trim does NOT line up with the door worth a 💩.
Besides that, it’s a Beautiful Build!! 👏 💯

Hard work Built the Legend..!!!
MAGNIFIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OLALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD JOB MEN!!!!
He is a life...hello doc...
Cut up a Hudson Hornet? Shameful as I thought this was going to be about bringing back one from a junkyard but nope.
