This is a 1929 Hudson. This car has an older restoration on it but still in really nice condition.
It had some right rear fender damage at the gas filler area. Fuel was washing the paint off through the years.
So this was just a quick blend repair of the right rear fender.
Sorry, as usual, I neglected to take a before picture.
The last photo shows the after picture after the repair. Blend was at about 12 o’clock at the fender radius.
It’s been a pleasure to have this car here.
Every morning when I walk into the shop it reminds me of walking into my grandma’s garage. When I was very young, I spent a lot of time at my grandmother’s house.
She had a two car garage but did not drive. My grandfather died when I was young, so she rented out the garage to her nephew.
That garage was my favorite place to hang out when I was little. In that garage, at that time, was a Model T Ford and a Model A Ford.
Smells are said to be your longest lasting memory. These early pre-war cars had a different smell than anything that came after them. I think it was a combination of paint, interior fabric, wood, rubber, and oil because they all leaked.
At any rate, that was my favorite place to be and a smell that I never forgot!
So thanks to the Hudson for the memories!
