Dukes reject

I am currentliy gathering suppplies and reference to build the 1955 Chevy that was prepared by Smokey and driven by Herb Thomas. It appears as if the Chevy was the 150 model. I have the AMT 55 Bel Air sedan and have taken the Bel Air trim off the body and trying to get it ready to prime. I have also purchased the decals off Ebay. I have seen that it was actual Skyline Blue with a white roof and not the Seafoam Green or whatever GM painted there replica. I need some help on the interior though. I am in search of some interior shots of a 55 150 to see how they differ from the Bel Air model. Any reference pictures would be helpful for that fact interior or exterior but mainly interior right now.

Any updates?

Wow thanks for sharing. love the pics

Always liked the look of that car very clean looking car and great build

THat looks great. I have one in my stash to build yet. I believe this might be the first one I have seen built.

Love it. Would look great next to a 50 Olds

I had heard from a vendor at Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle Show, back in July, that Moebius was going to be doing a 61 Pontiac Ventura and a 65 Mercury Comet but, have not seen anything on that yet.

DIdn't get to go. Did anybody get there to take pics?

As far as Chip goes how much pull does the Earnhardt side have? Earnhardt was a big component for Chevy.

You know something that we haven't heard Dave? I am a hugh Dodge fan. Of the 5 vehicles I have owned 3 of them have been Dodges. Would love to be able to continue pulled for my manufacturer. On a side note I am very pleased to see that Allen Johnson won the NHRA Pro Stock Championship this year driving a Dodge Avenger. As well as Jack Beckman winning the NHRA Funny Car Championship behind the wheel on a Dodge Charger.

Just plain cool

That looks awesome. Great job.

Looks awesome. Been thinking about one of these for myself. Can you provide any chassis shots? Been wonder what all the kit consisted of.

Have been busy getting some things painted on a small assembly line so to speak. Here is what I have going right now. 1952 Tim Flock Hudson 1952 Marshall Teague Hudson

MPC did make a 72 Roadrunner kit I have never been able to get my hands on one to see if the parts are there to build what is shown. If they are then maybe someone could resin cast the parts needed.

I would love all the Rapid Transit Concept cars in model form. I think they are awesome looking.

Your builds are looking great. I really need to get a couple of these but trying to support my so-called local hobby shops but they still have not gotten them in stock yet. Gonna check again today.

Here is the Amt 57 Street Machine kit that I built maybe 10 years ago now. HOK Candy red 2-tone tan interior. MCW Keystone Klassic wheels. Sorry the pictures arent the best. They were taken with my phone.

I mixed together then airbrushed it. Not sure the ratio I just dumped the sea blue into the navy blue gray to my eye til it looked close to me.

I wetsanded and recleared the body. I have started the decaling process. This is your best friend when decaling a Hudson

I like it. Looks great

I just e-mailed him last week asking if he was still doing decals and he said he was still doing the drag racing stuff but not the stock car stuff.

I got mine from Southern Motorsports Hobbies but they are regularly on ebay as well. http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-RSetzer/-strse-4576/%2392-Hudson-Hornet-Herb/Detail.bok
