Chuck Most Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 This is the '53 Teague stock car kit, done as a fictional La Carrera Panamericana racer. I used the whitewall tires on the front and the full exhaust system from the '53 club coupe kit, and removed the fender skirts, but other than that and some parts box decals I pretty much kept it box-stock. It has some scuffs and scrapes in the paint to represent a car driven from the Great Lakes region to Mexico, maybe sometime later I'll weather it to look post-race. I also found out how robust the Moebius kit can be with this one- during assembly, the nearly completed car took a three foot tumble onto the floor.... not a thing on it broke or came loose.
Jon Cole Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Another Hudson! This one makes how many? They just keep getting better!
espo Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 A great looking build without going overboard with add on detailing. I like the premise of the Carrera Panamericana.
Lizard Racing Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Good work. A forgotten car used in a forgotten race. I like it! I am currently working on the Teague version, but may do another later.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Loved it!! This baby could have done very well in the race. I want to build one, but for some reason, those Moebius kits are priced like gold here. It's unreal. I can buy 4 Revell kits with the value asked for one Moebius.
OldTrucker Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Another Hudson creation by Chuck! I could only imagine what Hudson would have done if they had Chuck in their design department back then!
