Chuck Most Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I bought this kit Friday afternoon, and here we are with a finished model on Sunday morning. I did "cheat" a tad by using an engine I already had completed and went totally minimalist on the chassis mods, but I got the look I was going for. The (front) wheels and tires are from the '52 convertible, and yes, the plain black tires and full wheel covers from the Special kit ARE tucked under the quarter panels. The camshaft-flanked skull grille bar was something I made ten years ago, and it was just kicking around in a box waiting for the right project. I guess this ended up being the right project. Paint is Pollyscale Vermont Green.
GTJUNIOR Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 For something you put together in a weekend, that looks great. Very good work Charles.
Kustom Rodder Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 man that is nice like everything about it nice job.
Jon Cole Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) "Bought it on Friday, finished it on Sunday." About the same amount of time it takes me to feel comfortable enough to glue together the engine halves without screwing up a sequence. That is an awesome Hudson! Really like the new roof.

espo Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Looks like something that was parked outside for a long time before you got your hands on it. Great weathering, very believable. I would like to do an engine like this on a Hudson build, where did you get the head and the blower setup ?
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Fine looking piece. The offset blower on the inline 6 is a great touch too, similar to something I have going. I REALLY like this model.
MrBuick Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Very very very cool! I've been meaning to pick up a Hornet kit for a while now, but still haven't...I'm about to jump over and order one now after viewing this.
Sixties Sam Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 That is so cool! Great weathering, and the engine is killer! Nice work!Sam
mikemopar70 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Wow!This is fast, very nice built, i like the worn-out look, that paint finish is awesome!!!
Crazy Ed Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Bought on Friday and finished on Sunday Annie Sullivan And you are Miracle Workers!
bbowser Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I've been on the fence about this one and you just pushed me over the edge! Great model. Mine won't be weathered as much as yours.
John Teresi Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Chuck......very cool ......love the way it sits
