Yep. Zepps antics during their heyday sure didn't help their reputation any. I like quite a few of their songs, but they also had some real audio turds as well. Music is subjective. what one person likes, another doesn't care for. I'm not a fan of Great White or Whitesnake either. Both lead singers are too full of themselves. I'm a zep fan, but I'm not gonna poo poo on anyone who doesn't agree.

Sweet!! I love this era of Hot Rodding!! Nice build!!

:lol:

I know this is a late post, but WOW!!! Now that's a good looking REO!! great work man

Thanks for the info. . I just bought the red one. Now I don't need to hunt for a set of spiders and square tanks...

I've seen some older reissues of this kit that have different fuel tanks. I've seen square tanks, and round tanks. Which ones have which? And do any of these reissues have steel spiders vs. chrome wheels?

Nice in flat black. looks sinister!! Nice build!!

Me Likes!! Me Likes!! :D

Ahh, now that brings back memories!!! My first car was a '68 chevy 2. Nice build!!

SWEET!!

I haven't seen too many on here, was just curious.....

Cool pic. Thanks Niko

The Hudson motor in the first pic with the third carb, is that a stock intake with a small third intake with "rams horns" runners milled to bolt on to the factory piece?

WOW!! Thanks for the pics!! These are just the ones I'm looking for. Thanks!!

Saw the bio on that story. Creepy stuff.

I was more interested in the tech info on the engine, and how they got more hp out of it. I assume they both made use of the 308 c.u. flat 6?

The lowered stance with the choice of wheels and the stock hood, This cars gonna look MEAN!!!!! Nice work!!

I have the Gasser Wars book on that Packard. Dave Koffel used the car as his daily driver till he put a SBC in it and went street racing in The Canton/Akron area. He made a master mold out of the front end of his Packard, and gave it one of the first one piece fiberglass front ends!! According to the book, the car started out in dark blue.

Thanks Bill for the link!! That's exactly what I needed. I think I know what direction I want to go now.... piecrust slicks and chrome steels out back, SBC w/fuel injection.... HHMMMMM ...Or maybe find a way to juice up that 6!!!

bump.

That looks COOL!!! I'll be watching this one

Still looks pretty cool though!!! Yeah, weight would definitely be an issue. It was a toss up between a gasser or a road race version of the Hornet. The kit has such nice lines, I don't want to go the wrong way....

Has anyone ever built a gasser out of the new Hudson Hornet kit yet?

Didn't they test drive one of those on "TOP GEAR"?

It had ME going.. . If they ever did have a reunion tour, I probably couldn't afford the tickets anyway.
