If anyone has ever built a car you know just how hard what these guys did was. Beautiful build guys!

[@dulsarakumarage7856]

Can I say (& I know many others would back me up on this) it's like a lost opportunity to create "The Fabulous (Doc) Hudson Hornet" 😭

[@dulsarakumarage7856]

@mrs abe tbh sticker printing is very easy, or for a better finish they could make the stencil to paint on. I guess after they poured in soo much effort to the car, they kindda wanted to keep it like a normal car than totally cartoon-ish.

[@prezes-max3406]

The Faboulous Hudson Hornet is a Real thing you know. It existed in real world.

[@prezes-max3406]

Sooo It’s not so cartoonish isn’t it ?

Coolest looking Hudson ever! I remember when that car was new. They were always considered an old man's car. Even when they won a lot of NASCAR races it wasn't very well known. Love the way they did it! Everybody did a chopped '49 or '50 Merc but never saw one of these. As far as the Bondo, all good paint jobs use a very thin coat to smooth out the body panels. It's probably not more than a 16th of an inch thick at most. I wish they would have shown more of the finished car though with the interior and everything. The trouble with doing these for a tv show means they have to have it "finished" in a certain period of time.

[@mouaxiong8618]

The Olds in my town calls it dirt derby not Nascar.

[@bigdapramirez6157]

If I was old I'd buy one

[@70bama82]

Teamwork, craftsmanship, sharp minds, artistic ability, capability, patience , results etc.etc.. That Hudson makes it to the fine ride category !!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@tangoandcars9588]

My neighbor next to our shop had like 7 Hudson’s in his unit. He had a nicely restored ‘53 green hornet. The others he would only want to start them up and drive them like that. Nice spec! 👍🏻

[@tommyherbert3931]

A beautiful restoration of a classic car. I like what I see what you and your crew did.

[@anandlakshmipathy687]

Pretty cool... Hats off those members who worked hard on this. Not an easy one...

[@jansenhobbs2214]

I would never chop a Hudson. They were beautiful stock cars but, it's not my car and if it makes you happy or, the bidder. Good on you!

[@RayGmk7]

My grandpa has 3 of these sitting in his garage. Even tho they don’t run and they’re all dusty I love staring at them

[@patrickyell309]

don't tell these guys where you live. the cars will get hacked up.

[@johnshepard5580]

One of the best build videos I've seen, thanks.

[@edwardpate6128]

Should have a Hudson Twin H flathead 6 with an old school 4 speed Hydramatic!

[@jackgtx440]

I know the guy that owns this car. He is a Mopar fanatic. The plan was always to put a Mopar drivetrain in it.

[@krismangila1594]

Kinda makes sense, since Hudson is an inactive marque of Chrysler (via American Motors).

[@marksmann1850]

Oh god, I thought they were doing some sort of repair technique when they chopped off the top. But they straight up decapitated the poor thing.

[@madanlalsharma1817]

Brilliant of brilliant team work

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I’ve got to say you have some real clever dudes there and I think the results speak for themselves It is stunning I especially like the interior It is fantastic 😍😍👍👍

[@brandond5209]

Beautiful car! Great job guys! Love color.

[@rickliners6123]

Oh no, an original Hudson Hornet. I clicked because thought you were restoring it to spec. I'm sure you guys did a fine job, and the final product looks great, but I could not bear to watch past the moment you cut the roof off. Like another commenter said: " what a lost opportunity to rebuild the original Fabulous Hudson Hornet".

[@Nvt13]

Badass! Has the looks of an old traditional kustom build 👍🏻. Wish there were details in the build.

All these negative comments. This is what the owner wanted. Look at the craftsmanship involved. These guys are on another level. Refabricated the whole vehicle.

[@steeler68cad]

That is a thing of beauty. I don't understand all the negative comments I know it's not original because it is better than the original. If anyone says they would not love to own that rolling piece of art is either a liar or a fool! Nice job!!!

It's not easy as we see in video But its really hard work hatsoff guys Great teamwork awesome made the car back to its original Glory

[@kenchall6503]

Chop it up. Cut it up. Fill it with bondo. Does not make sense to me.

[@peanuttt311]

I was about to say. How is it a restoration is you're modifying it.

And no Hudson straight 6 Twin Power engine !!! Plus, all that work... and then paint it... BLUE ??? .

@@Mr.Safety. It is not restored to it's original as possible. It takes time to restore anything. The research it takes and knowledge because you have to custom built parts would not fit in one TV show.

How in God's name can you chop up a Hudson! Have you no souls!

[@DeceptiveCobras]

of course they don't most of them Most likely Drive Imports or Chevys and don't know what Soul is, the problem with PN is at times they are out of touch with there viewers but again most people Cant Leave Cars as they were they have to do something ( normally what EVERY OTHER Car builder does ) to make them Stand out when one day Stock will be the new Custom.

[@TastyGnocchi]

@@DeceptiveCobras That's why OEM+ is a custom trend rn

[@VW5767]

Lil Miss Moffat and her little friends dont know what a cool custom car this turned out to be. You guys must carpool in Jonathan's Fiat 500 to get around town.

[@mistimisti6419]

Great job guys

[@teddunphy8369]

you had a lot of nerve putting the hornet emblems back on tha "build"

[@hawkdsl]

My guess would be that they thought it was pretty easy.. because it is a hornet... It's not even close to say... a Toyota Camry... So yes... Hornet badging is appropriate.

[@hawkdsl]

@Adrian Vegas I know what your saying, and agree that it's not a factory Hornet... It's a restomod. When restomods are done well, I'm not opposed to them. It's a second life for an old car that would more then likely end up as scrap going to China. There are plenty of 100% factory correct cars though.

They should have tried to redo it to the original color and restore it to it's original glory as much as possible. It looks nice but not like a true restoration job. It would take to much time and research to try to get to it's original glory as possible on a TV show.
