Matthews Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi all I have taken a bit of a hiatus from restoring La Scala over the recent years. Most all of my effort directed at building a Hot Rod. Thought I'd share the latest development with you. The car is all steel 1935 Hudson Pro Street. Full tube chassis powered by small block chevy. A couple months ago, I decided I want to build my own motor as well. And so here it is. Not finished yet but there is lots of time before Spring arrives. The motor is a .040, full roller, all forged internals, 8:1 CR, fully ported & polished RHS heads 350 Chevrolet. Some photos for your viewing pleasure 🔥 ...take care everyone and have a safe 2021 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In keeping it with the 'old school' theme, I am running carbs instead of fuel injection. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Although not featured in the photos above, I especially like the Hudson steel body. The style is elegant and it’s not another fiberglass Ford replica. Also, as an older Detroiter, Hudson has a strong connection to the city. When you get her done, drive up to the Motor City. I ‘d like a ride. We can visit the Hudson museum in Ypsilanti, MI, but first we would pick up some friends at the bus stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
