Hudson Hornet from the '60's
My Dad used to race a 1953 Hudson Hornet called the "Green Hornet" back in the '60's in U/Stock, I'm just curious if anyone out there would happen to have any pictures or footage from those day of his car. I'm trying to build a compilation of photos for him, he still has the car and now drives it to local cruise-ins and occasionally takes it to our local track for some fun. It's not too competitive against today's bracket (pedallers) racers. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I have attatched a couple of recent pics.

Re: Hudson Hornet from the '60's
It originall had a 2 barrell on it, right now we do have similar to the Twin-H setup on it. He has a 2 2Bbl manifold on it with adaptors for the 1Bbl. carbs that are on it. We have the Twin-H manifold, the dual 2Bbls., and even a home made dual quad manifold the he ran on it one time just for fun down at Sturgis KY. , that picked it up 4 tenths !! Just couldn't leave 'em for Stock class

Re: Hudson Hornet from the '60's
My dad just sold a 50 twin H Hudson last year. He now has a 54 with 4 barrel and late model air and auto. He has now rounded up everything to change over to stick w/overdrive. One problem is that old clutch is a wet setup and he heard that Ford has a dry clutch that fits. Anyone have knowledge of this?

I'll bet you'll find someone fitting T5's too. Look here: http://hudsonrestoration1948-54.com/ Love that old Stocker . I'll bet it really upsets the lawn chair/ stuffed doll types at the cruise nights when it gets all the attention.
