2002p51 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 This is a car that I've wanted to do for years. I had to not only wait for Hudson kits to hit the market but for decals to be available too! It's not completely finished yet because I haven't done the engine. I may or may not install one, we'll see. By the way, these are Power Slide decals and are probably the best decals I've ever used. . . . ever! Anyway, I just love the colors and graphics and how well they work on this car!
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Beautiful model, and a nice tribute to a fine driver. I knew Frank Mundy for a short time, and he struck me as a nice guy, too. Edited February 27, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy
bbowser Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 That is just breathtaking Drew! Those colors really pop, how can you go wrong with red white and blue? I'm in love
2002p51 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 That is just breathtaking Drew! Those colors really pop, how can you go wrong with red white and blue? I'm in love Thanks Bruce, but it's funny, for a simple, one color, non metallic paint job this thing kicked my butt. I repainted the roof three times before I got it right! But yea, I do love the graphics on this car.
rmvw guy Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Too Cool! I love it. Can't get enough Hudsons.
Silver Foxx Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 A great looking build , real nice foil work .
VERNON Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 One word: BEAUTIFUL. Keep up the great work. Vernon
2002p51 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I got the engine finished up this morning. I drilled out the distributor and head for plug wires only to find that I'm completely out of black plug wires! I don't really feel like waiting until I can order more so it goes in as is! And I'm not totally convinced that these engines were raced like this, especially with those pretty but restrictive stock air cleaners. But, I can't find any good photos for proof. And, technically,this whole thing doesn't belong in the NASCAR section because Mundy mostly raced under AAA and USAC sanction. Edited February 27, 2014 by 2002p51
Nacho Z Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 WOW, very cool model Drew! Definitely an attention getter . Love the whole paint scheme.
twopaws Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 WOW, nice work and you are correct the colors and the decal package just jump out to you.
Old Coyote Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Spectacular build Drew ........... simply stunning
th67ss Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Great build! I gotta say that's a pretty detailed motor for not being detailed yet!
Chuck Most Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Nice! I knew PennGwen did this decal set, wasn't aware Powerslide did one for the Mundy Hornet too. About the plug wires... why not grab some in another color and brush paint them black? Not knocking you for not adding them, just curious.

About the plug wires... why not grab some in another color and brush paint them black? Not knocking you for not adding them, just curious. Oh, I suppose I could. Hard to keep the non-flexible paint on them while they're being installed. Even harder to paint them after installation without getting at least some paint where you don't want it. Not really worth the effort when, realistically, no one will probably ever get to see under the hood.
Daddyfink Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Very nice, Drew! I like it a lot, and you you know what a big NASCAR fan I am! LOL!
2002p51 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 That's okay Jesse, this car never raced under a NASCAR sanction.
