First start of the 1937 Hudson Terraplane.

took a bit , but got it to go . still needs a lot of love to make it right . Will see what happens.

[@ElderlyIron]

Nothing like a junk Bendix on a rebuilt starter.... I HATE when that happens! S-10 chassis. 93, I'd say. First year for the Vortec 4.3. Keep the 700R4 behind it and it would be everything you could want!. I almost, ALMOST bought a 34 Terraplane sedan about 15 years ago. Kinda kick myself for not doing it, but I wasn't confident in my abilities to raise the smashed roof on it. Gorgeous car, though.

[@chevahaulic]

Its up to the customer now , he got the bad news today . Gave him a bunch of ideas on what to do with it . But I made sure to say I'm not doing it for free :)

[@ziggassedup]

Well at least it runs....Kinda.....I agree Matty...Kinda

[@chevahaulic]

Its in sad shape Zig :(

[@jefframey1025]

No mice cannon balls is good news lol

[@MrHevyshevy]

LS and a some mustang 11 suspension. Be good.

[@chevahaulic]

LS ..... no .... lol Mustang 2 , I like that :)

[@ronringel9132]

If any one can fix this ( POS ) it will be Mr. Chevahaulic. I can't wait to see part 3 of this video series. Best regards.

[@chevahaulic]

Thanks Ron !! Pretty sure this is the last vid on this car. At least for now :)

[@snowking55]

Nice looking car, but with the mess underneath and the engine hacked up, you wonder what's under the paint? I'm thinking can of worms.

[@chevahaulic]

Its got a lot of mud , and waves back at you from every angle :)

[@danielulz1640]

Power wire fell off - mice shooting out like cannon balls Dash LOL

[@chevahaulic]

lol , thats right !

[@derrickrees8895]

Its a Hudson so I would think on a later AMC Chassis and inline 6 ? Wrangler maybe ?

[@chevahaulic]

Possible. But good luck finding one around my parts. Most AMCs rotted away 30 years ago

[@Paradise_Arms]

Looks good from afar but far from good looking

[@chevahaulic]

That it does

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

At least it started, kind of.... LOL...

[@chevahaulic]

Yeah, its not good I'm afraid :)

[@whoolph]

Yer the guy to make it happen . . . . . :) Rog

[@chevahaulic]

Will see , im not the one paying the bills :)

[@scottryan9845]

[@chevahaulic]

Thats cool !

[@markgriffin9699]

Hope he's not into it for a lot of dough!

[@chevahaulic]

More than I would of payed

[@huck01955]

Matt you could fix it all in 1 weekend . No problem lol

[@chevahaulic]

Not likely Joe , this one will take some time and money to make right . Just to much wrong

[@huck01955]

@@chevahaulic I know just kidding around

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Talk about buying a pig in a poke. At least it will run, eh?

[@chevahaulic]

It kind of runs . As it gets warmer , it's getting worse . Think it needs a valve job . And its got a good clunk in the bottom end :(

[@derrickrees8895]

@@chevahaulic Splash-and-scoop lubricated Big Ends like the older Chev 6's ...

[@jcoop3660]

Hudson/Nash, I think that was a thing for a while.

[@splitchest9566]

This is a body off restoration seeing everything below the running boards is shot. Cool body type and a real art deco style.

[@chevahaulic]

I agree

[@snocrushr]

My parents had one back around 1950, Mom called it a TerriblePlane, Dad was disgusted with and he was a mechanic.

[@chevahaulic]

I could see why ;)

[@Mopardude]

Did he buy this from a car flipper?

[@chevahaulic]

No , told its from a large collection from out east

[@Mopardude]

@@chevahaulic Oh sweet there could be a whole fleet of cars out there with the same issues. LOL

[@chevahaulic]

@@Mopardude i know, and he bought 6 cars from there .... can't wait :)

[@Mopardude]

@@chevahaulic If he is willing to pay, shouldn't matter to you. lolol

@@chevahaulic I get it it thought I get so pissed when I have to go out to a job and fix a cabinet a carpenter hacked up. lol

[@waynecook5836]

Those old terraplane are sharp I've a buddy in fla with one 305/350 awsome economic cruiser BTW love the photography on Waylons channel nice stuff

[@chevahaulic]

The car is really cool . Just to bad its all hacked up. Thank you , its really neat seeing the pics on Waylons channel :)

[@19stoney64]

If that car has a 12 volt and 6 volt harnesses on it, I know where it came from. You’re the one to get it running. 😊👍

[@chevahaulic]

It needs a lot to make it right . Will see , its in the owners hands now

[@JerrysThisandThat]

If I was the sucker who bought that it would be on its way to the crusher shortly after you gave me the report on whats wrong with it.

[@chevahaulic]

No , no , no Jerry . Its fixable. And its worth way more as it sits than its worth in scrap :)

[@sterff89]

I hope you get the go ahead to fix it. It looks like it has a lot of potential if you look past the huge list of problems haha!

[@chevahaulic]

Will see
