BODIES
All Hudson-Built Bodies are of welded all-steel construc-
tion. The body floor panel is a single steel stamping to which
all side panels and pillars are welded or riveted. This forms the
foundation of the body and also acts as a cover panel for the
frame to which it is attached with 32 bolts. In effect the body
and frame become a single unit with all parts of both giving
structural strength instead of the body being simply a load
which the frame must carry as is the case in conventional
construction.
Cowl Assembly
The cowl top panel pillar posts and windshield header panel
is a single stamping in the 1934 and 1935 bodies with the cowl
side panels welded to it at the belt moulding. The instrument
panel is a structural support being a heavy stamping welded to
the cowl panel and pillars
.
The cowl panel and pillar posts are a single stamping in the
1936 and 1937 bodies and the same structural support is given
by the instrument panel which is welded to it.
The cowl ventilator is mounted to the cowl panel and oper-
ated from a lever extending below the instrument panel. The
ventilator is sealed by a sponge rubber gasket while a drain
trough is located just inside the gasket to catch any water
which may pass the gasket. 1934 and 1935 models have a
rubber tube attached to the drain trough to carry the water
through the bulk head and down the right side of the dash.
1936 and 1937 models have a short tube which extends
straight forward through the dash. Since the quantity of water
which reaches this drain tube is very small, there is no neces-
sity for carrying the water to a more distant point.
Windshield
The windshields of the 1934 and 1935 models are hinged at
the top. The opening of the 1934 models which is controlled
by a toggle regulator, have a closed and three open positions.
The 1935 regulator uses a screw and lever control, which
permits opening to any desired position.
Windshield Removal-1934 and 1935
1. Remove rear view mirror.
2. Remove sun visor.
3. Remove windshield wiper inside knob.
4. Remove four screws securing header finish panel.
5. Remove header trim panel.
6. Remove two screws securing regulator to windshield
frame.
7. Remove two cap screws holding windshield hinge
bracket to each hinge.
8. Remove windshield.
REPLACE GLASS:
1. Remove windshield.
2. Remove windshield weatherstrip. (Start at middle of bot-
tom section, pulling away from the frame and backward so that
forward flange of rubber will come out of the channel first.)
3. Remove screws at sides of windshield frame and remove
two sections of frame from glass.
4. Remove glass seating material and clean glass channel
thoroughly.
5. Reverse above operations to replace glass.
6. In replacing windshield weatherstrip, put in position on
top of windshield frame, inserting forward flange of rubber in
groove in frame. Starting at middle of top of windshield press
the rubber into the groove with a broad blunt iron inserted
between the two lips of the weatherstrip while forcing the inner
flange into place with a screw driver.
REPLACE BODY HALF OF HINGE:
1. Remove windshield.
2. Remove two cap screws holding each hinge to body
header.
3. Withdraw hinge through opening in header.
