Got into it!

What is this??? I know, do you?

With the Hudson show happening this weekend (May 28), I did not want to get too much into removing big items. Ok, I went ahead and removed the bonnet and grille BUT that was so that I could remove the spare engine! All will be returned to its proper place for the show.

I did get into some of the hydraulic brake system. I am amazed that for a car of this vintage, that the nuts and bolts (and brake unions) that I have dealt with so far have been easy to deal with. Sure signs that the car was A) well maintained and looked after, and B) stored well!

The master cylinder did give show some signs of stubbornness. A little heat and releasing agent took care of this... well I had to get a rebuild kit anyway!

My time right now is in getting my part of the Hudson Display (yes a display) ready. No hints on what it will be, but the other clubs entering the Tailgate Picnic are on notice to put on something good!

By the way, the photo is the hole for the front bonnet hinge which is also part of the "mascot". It is seen from the back. Kudos for those who guessed!
