Chuck Most Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 The 11th Hornet I've built. This is the first red one, and the first one to use modern style wheels. It's built to represent a mild custom with an air suspension, and this is in the "aired out" position. The cylinder head is from Morgan Automotive Detail. I still want to polish out the paint, the clear dulled along the quarter panels a bit for some reason, though it is glossier in person than it looks in the pics. I might touch up some of the foil trim and touch up some chipped paint around the engine compartment, but all in all, I don't think it looks too bad for a weekend project. '
MLMDesign Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Awesome Hudson Hornet nice paint and engine those wheels look great on it very nice work.
Petetrucker07 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 That is really clean. Looks awesome Chuck. Very nice weekend build.
bill_67 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Real nice, that lowered look fits the Hudson perfectly.
Stray Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 too right that is a great job for a weekend build! Really well done man. A little wash with some smoke and the chrome and wheels will have depth aplenty.
thatz4u Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Nice Hudson, great detail, I like it. You going to build one of the new 54s?
misterNNL Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Nice to see one of these built as a custom.Great job.
slusher Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Fantastic build Chuck. Love the color and wheels also...
Prince Ital Mike Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Well done, when I was building my Hornet I needed one weekend just to apply the foil trim
codie27 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Very nice build. Looks like itd be a great kit this one.
Kris Morgan Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Another fine build and thanks for the props on the cylinder head. However,,,, why not let the folks know that YOU mastered it?
Chuck Most Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks guys! However,,,, why not let the folks know that YOU mastered it? Well, if they'd studied for the quiz, they'd already know that.
Harry P. Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Chuck, describe for the members how you mastered it. Did you start with an existing part? A hunk of raw styrene?
Chuck Most Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Gawd, it's like being in class, or something.... I started with a slab of finned plastic, then drilled out the spark plug and head bolt holes. The head bolt holes were capped off with some resin heads, and the plug holes were beveled with a drill bit. The water jacket was a photoetched piece- I think it was meant to be an exhaust flange.
