Chuck Most Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 This is my 20th completed Hornet. But if I'd finished it sooner it may have been the tenth. I bought the Hollywood (hardtop) body from Motor City Resin Casters a week or two after Jeff started casting it. I messed up trimming the vacuum-formed rear window, so the car went back into the box for what, five or six years? Like I said, I ordered the body almost immediately after Jeff put it out and it's just now finished. I re-did the foil on the rocker panels- I originally used that terrible "ultra bright" BMF. This time I used the old reliable "New and Improved" stuff. (Is it really 'new' if it's been out for at least a decade now?) The paint looks awful- I have no idea what shade or brand of yellow it is, but I'm not terribly thrilled with it. I at least like the shade, but it's bumpy in spots. Sort of looks like a backyard respray, so I left it. We'll call this an amateurish restoration. Also my foil work back then wasn't as good as it is now. I will say this kit's greenhouse is MUCH easier to detail with foil than the club coupe. This also has one of the 20 or 30 finned heads I made before I got sick of that and sent one off to Kris Morgan so I (and anyone else) could just buy copies. I'm thinking of getting another Hollywood body and chopping it a bit... wait about six years and maybe you'll see it here.
Michael in Illinois Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I like that, need to build one or two of the Hudsons in my stash
espo Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I like the color combination and the engine detailing. The paint surface look good in the pictures.
Classicgas Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Well done and beautiful. Has anyone cast a 49 Hudson that would work with the Moebius kits?
Foxer Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Well, I like it! That color just seems made for it ..
crazyjim Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Cars like that were really manufactured way back when. The good years.
bbowser Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Wow!! Certainly not your staid accountant's ride from back in the day. Great work.
