eBay 1954 Hudson 2 Door rocker panels

Unknown

There are two 1954 Hudson fiberglass replacement rocker panels on ebay. The auction is ending in less than five hours and the starting bid is a low 19.95. I used these panels in the 70s to repair my 54 Wasp... while not metal they worked fine and when properly prepared were not distinguishable from original. I paid $50 each then....

Do you know if there's a company that makes fiberglass replacement parts for Hudsons these days? Or is it good luck to find NOS like these ones on eBay?

Sarah: I believe the rocker panels shown were manufactured by a Hudson member from the east coast who was also a street rodder. His business was fiberglass parts. While the specific rocker panels shown were unavailable in any other form at the time of manufacture, they are available in metal today. Albeit I have heard the metal panels do not conform to the original shapes. The short answer is the fellow no longer makes the rocker panels. The even shorter answer is he is the only person I have ever found who made Hudson fiberglass replacement parts.

Good luck with your Jet.
