Damn cold and snowy, with a chance of Hudson



The weather is frozen, but the work on the car has started again. In the last couple of days I ordered new glass for the drivers door and the rear passenger door. I ordered it from Vintage Glass (800-889-3826) with the Duolight etching . To go along with the glass, I also ordered a window channel kit from Vick Zamera (562-947-5864). Vick was great to talk to and mentioned that he has followed my adventure from the time I was looking for my Hudson. It is truly fantastic to have such wonderful people in the Hudson community. The whole drive to get the glass done is that once I have the interior complete I do not want to have to tear apart the doors for any reason, especially one I can take car of now. Sadly I do not have the dollars to replace the rubber around the wind windows or replace the windshield. The windshield looks like somebody took a sandblaster to it, but at least it is holding tough. Once the windows and window-channel are in, it is a matter of waiting for the tax man to move onto the interior. A piece of homework I need to do in the meantime is to head out to Lowe's and look at their indoor/outdoor carpet. I am told they have one that is actually a dead ringer for the tan carpet in the car now (what is left of it).
