Intro and questions

[EDNY]

Nice job describing and listing it...looks like a teasure for the right person!

Glad to see you got it listed, I will be following auction to see how it does   Good luck

I stuck links to this on Inliners International and the HET sites. I hope it helps you get the Chevy to do well on the other cars. It looks like there is interest in the Hudson. It is cool!

I just checked the listing out on ebay, it's in my watchlist. Looks good. Good luck to you and Mr. G with the sale. Keep us posted on the '33.

Over the summer I sold a 66 Fastback Mustang and was excited about receiving 1000 views with 80 watchers.  This auction already has 1700 views and 100 watchers.  Thank you for posting my auction on those sites sixball.   

It was raining here today so I didn't go out to Mr. G's house to work on the other Hudson.  Turns out that it isn't a 50, the title says 1951.  There are other interesting things in the barn, old tools, old sewing machine (black metal), old license plate, wagon wheels, etc.  So you might see all kinds of things listed on my ebay account.

You finding any other car parts?

[RCstang]

I'll keep you guys informed if I find anything old chevy and give you first choice before ebay.

Yesterday since I couldn't go to his house to work I took the old rusty license plate I found and repainted it.  Not perfect but cool.

I've got the auction on my watch list so that I  can keep up with it's progress hope you get more than your reserve, the restoration of the plate looks great, was it still on the car?

[RCstang]

The reserve is reasonable so hopefully it sells.

No, the plate wasn't on the 33.  This one was in the barn, just laying in a pile of stuff.  He said he had another one in the house.  After I find that, there might be a 1933 Indiana license plate for sale.

[RCstang]

More parts in the barn.

Right and left side of the hood, splash guard, rear window frame, side window frame.

Does the crank and the jack go with a 1933?

[EDNY]

Be sure that (your) the 5W coupe has all six window garnishings. I'd be interested in the extra ones and possibly the splash apron.

Now on to #2

RC, the Hudson didn't hit the reserve, what's Mr. G's plan?
How's the progress on the '33?

[RCstang]

The 1955 Hudson didn't sell but I had an offer of $3000.  After accepting that offer, he backed out.  I'm trying to contact people interested in this year Hudson to get a buyer at $3000.  If not I'll relist it on ebay with pictures of the clean underside.

The 1951 Hudson sold almost immediately to a local buyer.  From my limited understanding that car body style is highly desirable.

The scope of my work has increased, now I'm selling a 1977 F-250 extended cab too.  Maybe even a rusty 1948 Willie's Jeep.  Free labor is always popular.  About the 33....I told my wife tonight that I'm buying it.  Surprisingly she only offered limited resistance and even said she would donate items for me to sell.  So I've started selling all kinds of junk I don't want on Ebay to pay for it.  I want ever penny to come out of extra income. ($2330 to go)  Donations accepted.   I'm ready to get it in my garage and fully evaluate the condition.  Ray said he started it 7 years ago, changed the oil and added slick 50.  So maybe after all the fluids have been changed, it might start.

I guess congratulations are in order. Good for Mr. G (2 out of 3 ain't bad) and for you. Keep us posted on your progress with plenty of pictures.
