2002p51 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 This is a car that I've wanted to do for years. I had to not only wait for Hudson kits to hit the market but for decals to be available too! It's not completely finished yet because I haven't done the engine. I may or may not install one, we'll see. By the way, these are Power Slide decals and are probably the best decals I've ever used. . . . ever! Anyway, I just love the colors and graphics and how well they work on this car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Beautiful model, and a nice tribute to a fine driver. I knew Frank Mundy for a short time, and he struck me as a nice guy, too. Edited February 27, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in love Thanks Bruce, but it's funny, for a simple, one color, non metallic paint job this thing kicked my butt. I repainted the roof three times before I got it right! But yea, I do love the graphics on this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2002p51 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I got the engine finished up this morning. I drilled out the distributor and head for plug wires only to find that I'm completely out of black plug wires! I don't really feel like waiting until I can order more so it goes in as is! And I'm not totally convinced that these engines were raced like this, especially with those pretty but restrictive stock air cleaners. But, I can't find any good photos for proof. And, technically,this whole thing doesn't belong in the NASCAR section because Mundy mostly raced under AAA and USAC sanction.

Chuck Most Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Nice! I knew PennGwen did this decal set, wasn't aware Powerslide did one for the Mundy Hornet too. About the plug wires... why not grab some in another color and brush paint them black? Not knocking you for not adding them, just curious.

About the plug wires... why not grab some in another color and brush paint them black? Not knocking you for not adding them, just curious. Oh, I suppose I could. Hard to keep the non-flexible paint on them while they're being installed. Even harder to paint them after installation without getting at least some paint where you don't want it. Not really worth the effort when, realistically, no one will probably ever get to see under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
