- The Fabulous Hudson Hornet is legend in NASCAR racing, in animated film, and now on PowerBlock, when Tim Strange rescues a stalled project from a Michigan viewer. Volunteers gently transform history into a show-stopping lead sled!
Refreshing to see a family that still sticks together and helps each other out. Really rare in this messed up country these days.
This is great! I'm in! No yelling, no bs deadlines, just guys doin' it. Kudos to the production.
A thousand times thank you for not slapping on 22s and rubber band tires. Bring back period correct customs!
Period correct is cool but loosing that custom feel, but 22’s don’t belong on classic cars
I wish they would extend these episodes to a couple of hours each instead of rushing through them. I could watch all the details of the fabrication all day.
I agree, although I am a fabricator, mostly on motorcycles though, I like to see how other fabricators do it, this very little in fabrication that there isn't multiple ways to do something.
I have a 69c10 I have been working on for years. 5 back surgeries 2 bad hips and both knees I have to get replaced but I do the best I can . Have had it for forty years it is the first truck I ever owned
Glad they move there❤Parents Next door and take🤝care of Them. Thats a Beautiful Thing.
All the Best on your Build it Solid.
Great Team that Came to the Rescue💪Congratulations to All who make this Happen. What a Story. WOW
That's what I'm in the process of doing. I am moving to Arizona next month and I was looking for a couple acres of land to build a tiny house on and live off the grid and off the land, I ended up finding a 12 acre lot and my parents and I went halvies on it and were building 2 tiny houses off the grid.
You got voo doo Larry nuff said he’s awesome
Years ago I worked for Jack Clifford .He used to race Hudson's and in the warehouse that I worked in he had all kinds of Hudson parts.6=8
A Hudson! Right on!!
Thank you for this.
There is a REASON also Hudsons, Kaisers, Frazers, etc are for the "Certain" type of men. Too damn cool. I'd take a Hudson over anything.
“Why go from Muscle Cars to a Hudson?”
Me who owns a 1951:
But they ARE muscle cars!?!?
This is something that YOU should look up. This car ran and won against V-8 Fords and Chevys. But the biggest thing was the engine that it used to beat them. Which is a Hemi Six.
And yes, you could use the engine in a street car.
Having a 51 Hornet in 53 it was the fastest street raiser until 54 Dodge Ram. She was Bull nosed and metalic bronze , I could flat spin without fear or rollover. Borg Warner hydro .Best ride, bench seat...luejac
If I could have one old 50s car it would be a Hudson. Not a Rolls Royce or Cadillac or anything else. Hudsons are just right. Cool project guys
all cars are built of several layers of overlapping sections, especially modern cars. they sure do make them like that still. just better, safer and more efficiently.
I disagree, They certainly aren't better, Todays cars are "throw aways" after they hit 250k, They aren;t safer because they are mostly plastic and effecient is how you look at it. I can take any pre 1985 car and my buddy and I can pull the engine and transmission and rebuild them both over a long weekend in my drive way while enjoying a case of adult beverages. Todays cars take a team of engineers and 10 days of taking half the car apart just to change the oil. I have a 77 buick sky lark as a daily driver and it has almost 400k on the engine and transmission without a rebuild, Your not doing that with ANY car today.
@@TheREALOC1972 you may disagree but all the facts & stats say new cars are better in every way, with the exception of DIY accessibility. then again, they aren't built for DIYers so it's not an issue. and no car in the 50s - 90s was built to last more than 250k miles. any car with decent maintenance & servicing will last as long as you want it to. and if you have the knowledge and tools you can play with modern cars too.
@@daos3300 That's why junkyards are FULL of 1990 and newer cars, right? That's why manufactors recommend having a complete engine and transmission rebuild at 125k instead of the 250k and the engine and transmission replaced at 250K instead of "until and if needed" like it was pre 1990's right? I tell you what..... Let me put a brand new frame under the 67 Chrysler New Yorker I have sitting behind the barn and you can have ANY brand new plastic built car today and lets meet head one at 35 mph and see who walks away...... Your going to be in 1700 of plastic and really thin sheet metal while i'm going to be in 3500 lbs of solid STEEL, Sorry bro but GTFOH with that. Todays cars are bullshit 250k throwaways made with mostly plastic.
Wishing to see the rest of the build.
The owner is right, it already looks chopped, it doesn’t need chopping.
That's because they naturally chopped from the factory. a 51 Chevy's roof was 36" high from the bottom of the windshield to roof peak, a 51 Fords roof was 37" high, and 51 Hornet Hudson's roof was 33" high. It came stock 3" lower than the Chevy and 4" lower than Ford so it "looked chopped" from the factory.
The owner is my grandpa
cherish this stuff people because our hobbies and way of life are going to be forever changed and things like this will only be a luxury for the rich after this corona crap gets done
The Hudson was so good, Tom had to change it all. Can't work, but can get paid by his parent's medicare insurance. Oh, and somewhere 500 miles became 600 miles.
The Wasp's are really rare.
I don't like the chopped roof thing. The car had really nice proportions before that. It looks like the design went wrong after it.
I agree. That classic has such nice lines to begin with & I bet the owner would get in and out of it a little bit easier too, considering his medical issues.
There is a reason nobody has ever chopped a Hudson.
Amen brotha.
My father was a Hudson man his father sold them when I was a teen my father wanted 0:17 0:17 to restore a car and found a 53 Hornet Club Coupe that was the first of many the last was A 54 Hornet Hollywood Hardtop.
I would love to have my dead grandpa's 1939 chey hot rod to be worked on but it like this
Glad you decided on less for the chop. It is so easy to make them look like a cockroach.
The 51 Hudson was already "chopped" from the factory, they were 3" lower than the 51 Chevy and 4" lower than the 51 Ford. I just bought a 55 Desoto and i'm going to build it into a restomod, first because there's NO WAY i'll ever be able to find the parts to build it back stock, especially the side trim, those got robbed by thousands in the 70's to put on to lead sleds becuase they were more streamlined than other manfacturors. I'm not going to chop it because from the research I've done the only other car that had a lower roofline from the factory was the Buicks and Oldsmobile which was the same height as the Desoto.
Is this the same Hudson that you built that is for sale it can't be what three to four months after you rebuilt it
Why chop it? Just make it low
I have a 52 Hudson hornet with big block Mopar
From Disney Pixar Cars
Understand how he feels
dont like how he let his chrome bumper rub on the concrete like that
Chopping a roof on a guy who has a bad back?
All these guys have $ signs in their eyes. One can see the competitiveness. Calm down with the egos, life is too short! East coast Boston accent it seems.
Too many ads.
You had me until you said LED lights....not for old classic vehicles. They always look out of place on a classic.
I used to think that way too but they are so common and so much cheaper now a days.
can you do my 2002 ford ranger
No disrespect but I’ve never understood the need to “customise” vintage and classic cars. ESPECIALLY the ‘48 to ‘54 Stepdown Hudson. Why?? Surely they are beautiful enough in their original state. To me “customising” (hot rodding?) such beautiful Americana icons is like painting false eyelashes and bright red lipstick on the Mona Lisa. Shame.
what is it with americans always having the need to chop the roof off
I have a 2011 Ford Ranger need work on it but I have a time
In 2020 I lost my wife 02 2020
Search and restore my ass its really hack and butcher ...... just had to fuck up a classic .. no realization how rare these are ... some people mentality
Challenged. Don deserve rare classic
Bro shut up the owner Tom is my grandpa and stop bc he loves and don’t even say that he is not my grandpa
@@bearthebeast1213 like I said its a fucked up classic I own 2 of these
Driven many miles stock just upgraded brakes assholes should never
Own a rare classic they aren't mentally stable to properly restore and preserve
Hopefully he drops and someone saves this classic
Really crappy welding there
why do you yanks always completely destroy the shape and integrity of a classic by chopping the top. what a freaken shame.
And the owner even said he didn’t really want it chopped but these guys just kinda do whatever. It’s ridiculous
Bro shut up my grandpa is the owner and he loves it
