TonyK Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 There are several versions of the Hudson Hornet models but I'd like to know if the basic parts are all the same. By that I mean, would all the chassis and running gear be the same for each kit? I have built a couple of them in the past but was curious if the '53 and '54 passenger cars are the same. The Marshall Teague kit compared to the drag racing version. Wanted to know if I just bought any one of them for a donor chassis. Thanks for the info.

Classicgas Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Chassis should be pretty much the same. Convertibles may have x bracing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 All chassis appear to be exactly the same. No X bracing on the convertible. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Just to add info. ALL Hudson kits come from the same tool. Hoods and trim are the only difference between 52 and 53. The racing kits do have a different exhaust but otherwise stock. Hudson had ZERO money back in the day and made few changes to the real car....thus same for kit. I was allowed to do the decal artwork for many of the kits...... Edited September 21, 2022 by Dave Van 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 And they were very nice decals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
