lowriderphil Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Next project, 53 Hudson Hornet, no idea on colors yet but I do know that it will have Replica and Miniatures of MD artillery wheels. So far I have cleaned up the mold lines and set the ride height in the rear, had to notch the frame and belly/driveshaft tunnel, not sure if the front will get this low yet though.

Nate Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I agree! I might need to snag a set of those wheels and tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderphil Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Got my wheels mocked up, Rep&Min's rims on the kit white walls, the tires that came with the rims were a tad too tall and skinny for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Those are some cool wheels. Going with the caps too, or plain steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowriderphil Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 couldn't sleep so I shot some color. dupli-color bahama blue, the gray primer made it a little darker than it should have been. now I'm up in the air on the roof, do I go dupli-color silver flake or dark blue flake?

lowriderphil Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Still plugging away at it, flash and indoor lighting is messing with the colors. Did the seats in the same blue flake as the top then cleared them, trying to go for the metal flake vinyl look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowriderphil Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 stock grille surround with a grille insert from 53 victoria cut down and recessed into the opening, ribbed bumper from Revell 49 Merc stock grille surround with a grille insert from Revell 49 Merc as well as ribbed bumper Might need to strip and respray this one, primer apparently had some issues and now there are numerous nicks where the paint came off.

Deathgoblin Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I like the top one better. I think it fits the lines of the nose a lot better. good work. I love the artillery wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I like the first one too, but I hope that you are going to cap the ends of it. Love the progress so far and those wheels look great. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kustom Rodder Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Looks really good like the darker flake for the top something different nice choice for the wheels to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderphil Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 I like the first one too, but I hope that you are going to cap the ends of it. Love the progress so far and those wheels look great. Later- I was trying to chop it down without needing to rechrome it, I should have sectioned the center of the sides to retain the caps, but I managed to recess it back enough that with a bit of foil on the ends you wont notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowriderphil Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 In the home stretch now, just need to re-clear and polish, then final assembly. I know the roof chrome isn't accurate but I thought the big roof looked better with all that chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
