Hi Guys
Thought I would share with you my latest build. I got this car on trade, came with a chevy sub frame and no interior. Will put a stroker, 3 weber and T5 setup. Hope to run it next spring at the Silver State classic. Next couple weeks it will go to Midwest chassis for a roll cage, ford 9 coil over suspension and lowing of car about 4 inch. I have replace the sub frame to back to original. replace front floor pans, outer frame rails, and trunk patch

[b]Russ
A very nice Project and it should be no problem running that speed with the Set-up you plan to run.

Utilizing the stock suspension you naturally will run 4W Discs but for safety I would install those new Steel front hubs that ive seen advertised . I never broke a stock spindle but the cast hubs would break. You probably planning on a quicker ratio steering box..

Your Car may renew other people's Interest in modifying Hudson's and possibly co-incide with the new Cars111 Movie in production that features Humpy Wheeler's Hudson cpe racing around the back hills in NC..[/b](Unfortunatly not Hudson powered)
