I don't know anything about diecast but if you're happy - I'm happy for you!

THe thing is it orginally came as a kit and largely screws together. Here it is disassembled.  

Great find! The missing parts shouldn't be too hard to replicate. Good luck.

Here it is after a few coats of paint(Don't worry about the flat sheen,It will have several gloss coats after the paint is cured and polished) .    

looks like an interesting subject. hope you enjoying rebuilding it.

The Hubley metal kit actually became the Monogram plastic kit! You should be able to use the parts from one of those to complete your Hubley!!! Great work, thus far! Good Luck!!!

THanks!I haven't posted any updates because my Airbrush went down with a bad air valve!I remember building the Monogram Packard  dual cowl phaeton in the early eighties and it had a plastic instead of diecast chassis .It was necessary to reinforce the chassis to hold the weight of the body.I may buy a new airbrush and will paint the fenders next.

Here it is after the first coat of silver!  

I decided not to remove the wheels/tires from the front axle and rear differential to avoid the potential damage  it might cause.I wrapped them in plastic to keep them clean.  

I have the frame,rear diff and front axle primered and painted!   

I pinstriped the body today but my technique is not quite there .more work is required.  

Here is the body and fenders after BMF.  

Very nice. I would like to add as the owner of 2 Hubley's and the Monogram Metals 1931 Dual cowl Phaeton and 2 Boatail speedsters and the Speedster Phaeton of 1930. Truthfully, the Monogram kits did not evolve from the Hubleys. They are even in different scales! The Monograms are 1/24th scale. Hubley  Packards are 1/22 scale. They are much larger, so I don't believe there are any parts that fit on Hubleys from Monogram. I've built them all. 

Your best bet for parts (aside from going to a model show/swap meet) would be to find parts on ebay!

GoodLuck. Looking forward to seeing your build completed. Happy New Year.

Thanks! I will use in old Monogram Caddy for the headlights and windshield.Here is the painted engine block.i had to strip the chrome off of all of the engine accessories and will paint then black.   

Here is the completed engine.Looks good!  

The chassis is coming together!  

Installed the muffler.One advantage of a diecast muffler and tail pipe is the realistic finish!   

Mounted the fenders and radiator core.   

Mounted up the grill.light bar and headlights.The headlights from the Monogram Caddy kit look right.      

I like the top down option too!   

Installed the luggage rack ,rear bumper and rumble seat step.   

Just about done...a lot of work but well worth the effort.I am impressed with the tooling of this kit given that it was introduced in the early 1960s.A very nice addition to my auto collection.
