Nice job on the candy panels too...you're getting even better at those.

Everything about it is successful, obviously the paint scheme, but also the grill, the stance, and the photo presentation! Massive thumbzupz!

A very good looking Hudson Hornet. Superb paint job and very clean bodywork. This is probably one of my favorite Hudson Customs that I've seen. Makes me wanting to get the third Hornet kit...

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
