Thank you Dave and Steve for hanging in with me! You know, fool that I am, that '47 that I had and sold was almost rot free! And I gave that up for this junk of rust and dust! Go Figure===

That my friend is part of the disease. But it is that, almost, insane judgment that saves what others would trash, and creates what no one else would dare in-vision. I'm sure there are other Essex rods out there, but I have not seen one until yours. Keep it up and don't loose the faith.

I guess maybe that be true dlotraf33. Strange people do strange things sometimes. Once in a while one may be seen up around this area, but not often. I have a friend who has a '30 Hudson Coupe which is not too much different than Hudson's Essex. Essex, they say, was intended for the common folk who were not so well off and needed a more affordable car. Not sooo much different than the Model A in a lot of ways, but one thing that I like is the extra length in the cab, lots better for us taller people. I'm looking for two doors and I am sure there are some around, somewhere, but people either don't know what they are or they do know and are hoarding them. Thanks for following the thread. perley
