Two weeks gone

I shipped out my 52 Hornet two weeks ago. I know it is in good hands with Doug, but I miss it and am looking forward to the day it comes home with a new interior and all tuned up.

Off to Wildrick Restoration

The car was picked up today for shipment to Wildrick Restoration. I am excited, but nervous also. To get everything done I have to trust the transporter, I have to trust Doug, I have to trust Russel, and I have to trust Jan. That is a lot of trust for me.

Here are some pictures of it being loaded up.

May 29th 2011 Hudson Social

On Sunday May 29th 2011 I had the pleasure of hosting a Hudson Social. Five Hudsons and about a dozen people made for a wonderful day. As they caravaned back to the Twin Cities, they even let me lead them from Byron to Pine Island. I was having so much fun I dropped the to back of the line in Pine Island and followed them as far as Zumbro Falls.

Weaving of the fabric.

I was unbelievable lucky to have found Jan. Here is a short video of her weaving the fabric for my 52 Hudson Hornet.

Good News Spring (except for the weather)

Good news: I was hired by Mayo Clinic and started March 7th.
Good news: The Hudson started up this spring with only a little persuasion, and the whole family took it for a cruise to the Pizza Ranch, about a 60 mile round trip. Very nice!
Good news: We were able to preserve my 'Hudson money' during my unemployment, so the interior restoration; general tune-up/check-up by Dr. Doug is still on.
Good news: My Metro Moulded Parts, Inc. wind window rubber arrived yesterday, the last pieced needed except for fabric
Good news: Jan sent more pictures of progress on the fabric. Scheduled to arrive end of May
Good news: The '52 Hudson Hornet will be shipped to Wildrick Restoration by K&L early June
Good news: I will be hosting a informal classic car burgers & brats social at my home May 20th.

Here are the pictures from Jan. I think it looks great.
