-53 Hudson Hornet

Well! That's about it!
Removed the gas cap lid, shaved the handles, lowered the suspension and added wire wheels from Borrani.
Some extra details on the engine, blue knobs and buttons in the interior.
Otherwise built straight from the box and I must say it's a nice kit with little to complain about.
The hood doesn't sit as tight as one could wish and the windows isn't top notch but all in all it went together with little or no fuss.

Made a "lightbulb" from streched sprue that got a knob in one end.

A golden bullet found it's way on to the spinner.

Also made a exhaust tip from thick aluminium foil formed over a little wooden buck, polished and glued in place.
