    Here are a couple of sites that have Hudson parts:

    http://www.uneedapart.com/used-hudson-parts.php

    http://nashparts.com/Hudson/Hudson.htm

    http://www.vintageusedautoparts.com/hudson.htm

    Did Hudson make an outboard motor?

    Tailgating is one of them. Do they really believe they will get there faster riding someone’s bumper. Do they ever think about reaction time!

    Both places are busy so timeliness may be a question. We have had an engine rebuilt at Bailey’s, he specializes in Mopars.

    Gary was the one who finally got your Carburetors straightened out on the GTX wasn’t he?

    Yes, he also rebuilds transmissions and differentials.

    Wild Angels was another motorcycle flick.

    Electra Glide in Blue with Robert Blake was a cool movie.

    Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man featured Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke. Rourke is a rough looking character.

    A recent movie was The Fast and the Furious. That had some great chase scenes in it and some nice scenery. An older movie which was interesting was The Car.

    Of course there were the Smoky and the Bandit movies also.

    That’s a good story. Evenly matched competition can be fun no matter how much power is involved.

    Anyone know of a shop or guy around these parts that knows how to rebuild 8 3/4 rear end? Evena good 4×4 shop should know how!

    Mopardude, here are a couple of names for having a differential rebuilt.

    Carburetor Performance – Gary at (608)221-3172

    Bailey Motor Sports – John Bailey (608)222-5262

    These are both Madison area businesses.

    I will see about some more possibilities.

    Yep, I’m pretty sure that GTO Man knows a couple people. I can’t say though, I don’t have the details, sorry. icon_rolleyes.gif

    Ok cool! I will sit and wait patiently for his response! Drogar-BigGrin(LBG).gif

    That’s a good question. I will ask around. That is one thing I haven’t had to have done yet, knock on wood. I am dropping off my car Monday to get a new clutch so I will ask the shop where I take it who they recommend. We plan on putting information on the site about some local resources in Southern Wisconsin for doing different kinds of work.
