Ford produced three cars between 1932 and 1934: the Model B, the Model 18, and the Model 46. These succeeded the Model A. The Model B had an updated four cylinder and was available from 1932 to 1934. The V8 was available in the Model 18 in 1932, and in the Model 46 in 1933 & 1934. The 18 was the first Ford fitted with the flathead V‑8. The company also replaced the Model AA truck with the Model BB, available with either the four- or eight-cylinder engine.
The 1934 Ford (the Model 40B) was not as substantial a model year change as the previous two years had been.
1934 Ford Model 40
Noticeable changes included a flatter grille with a wider surround and fewer bars, straight hood louvers, two handles on each side of the hood, smaller head lights and cowl lamps, and a reworked logo. The bare metal dash insert was replaced by painted steel.[7]
V‑8 output was again increased, this time to 85 hp (63 kW), and the four-cylinder Model B engine was in its last year, as was the Victoria body style; nevertheless, there were fourteen body options, the Tudor being top-seller.[3] The standard three window coupe was deleted.[11]
Deluxes had pinstriping, again twin (chromed) horns, and twin back lights.[7] Inside, they got more elaborate wood graining.
1934 Ford in which Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed and killed.
The 1934 Ford V-8 is infamous as being the vehicle in which the notorious Depression-era bandits Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed and killed.[12] On May 23, 1934, the two outlaws were traveling in a stolen 1934 Ford sedan in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, when a heavily armed law enforcement posse opened fire and riddled their car with bullets and buckshot, killing both and bringing an end to the infamous gang.
1934 Model 40 Special Speedster
Edsel Ford's Model 40 Special Speedster
Edsel Ford commissioned Ford's chief designer, E.T. "Bob" Gregorie to design and supervise the construction of a personal sports car based on a style of period sports car Mr. Ford had seen in Europe. A special two seat roadster was built from aluminum and installed with a flathead V8 engine. Only one was built and is currently at the Ford House museum.
A deuce coupe (deuce indicating the year "2" in 1932) is a 1932 Ford coupe. The Model 18 coupe with its more powerful V8 engine was more popular than the four-cylinder Model B coupe. In the 1940s, the '32 Ford became an ideal hot rod, being plentiful and cheap enough for young men to buy, and available with a stylish V8 engine. Rodders would strip weight off this readily available car and "hop up" or customize the engine. They came in two body styles, the more common 5-window and the rarer suicide door 3-window. The iconic stature of the 1932-vintage Ford in hot rodding inspired The Beach Boys to write their hit 1963 song "Little Deuce Coupe" and they also named one of their three 1963 albums after the car. The deuce coupe was also featured as the pivotal street racing car in the 1973 hit film American Graffiti. The car is also famously referenced in the 1973 Bruce Springsteen song, Blinded by the Light, made popular by Manfred Mann's Earth Band in 1977.
Typical of builds from before World War Two were '35 Ford wire-spoke wheels.[14] Immediately postwar, most rods changed from mechanical to hydraulic ("juice") brakes and from bulb to sealed-beam headlights.[15] The "gow job" morphed into the "hot rod" in the early to middle 1950s. A Halibrand quick-change rearend was also typical, and an Edelbrock intake manifold or Harman and Collins ignition magneto would not be uncommon. Aftermarket "flatty" (flathead) cylinder heads were available from Barney Navarro,[19] Vic Edelbrock, and Offenhauser.
Real men drive pink race cars,very cool.🤩
Thanks for watching!
It looks great! The body color is very neat too. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job ounce again I can smell the testors from here!
You and me both!
i been building models every science i could read but never came out that nice
Love the pink berry color. Great looking build.
Thank you! Cheers!
Aww good old testors silver when I first started building models as a child that was the main go to color for just about everything from exhaust tranny rims bumbers any thing metallic. Great color scheme with the berry pink. As always fantastic build have a great week Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching as always! I love using the old school stuff and having fun!
I really enjoy your builds,. I've been building for years. I like your techniques, there are awesome! Jerry
Thank you very much!
reminds me of Shirley Muldowney, even though she was the queen of dragsters
Thanks for watching!
This was the first video that I watched from you. Since then, I watched many of your videos. learned that I was building all wrong! You taught me many techniques. Thanks!!
Welcome aboard!
I love that pink. Very well done. I lost my Mom to leukemia, so thanks for the shout-out.
You are so welcome!
Cool! There are no chrome parts. I love that!
Picked one up today, looks like it should be a fun kit to build.
Lost both of my parents to cancer... thank you for the tribute and another super cool build! God bless!
Thanks for watching!
I built this back in 2008 I believe. I built it up using John Deere inspired colors. Tamiya TS-52 Candy Lime Green for the body and John Deere Yellow (think it was Krylon Field and Implement spray paint) for the roll cage assembly, chassis tubes, bumpers, and wheels. I can try to get pictures of it some time and show that on the hpiguys Facebook page.
As always, another fantastic build by the fast builder himself. Keep 'em coming Chris.
Very cool!
She's a Beauty Chris. God Bless All
Thanks for watching!
Nice build......That modified kit is a great one to have since you can do so much with it. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice work, love how the paint look on this one
Thank you! Cheers!
The Green Flag is up OFF! We Go!! The Race Is On.....
Lost my father, grandmother and aunt to cancer and my cousin and friend's wife are survivors. F*** cancer. Great build Chris, keep up the good work.
Amen. F*** cancer. I've lost a mother, 3 grandparents, a great grand parent, 2 nephews, and 2 very dear ex-teachers to this plague.
Thank you and sorry for all your losses!
RIP Eddie Van Halen. Being a guitarist, it seemed appropriate given the circumstances Chris is talking about. I hate cancer.
Thanks for watching! What a loss to all of us!
Real men drive pink race cars, nice build Chris 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
One of my all time favorite open wheel modified kits ever! Great build!!
Same here!
@@hpiguy just a good basic kit
Beautiful build. Nice detail work! I was going to say the car is sponsored by Pepto Bismal, but cancer research is very appropriate. God bless! Be healthy and safe!
Thanks for watching!
Yep, Chris that Testors does the same to me too, but the 70’s for me. Ain’t it funny how certain smells can bring back certain memories, nice but funny, I guess?!? Cool build there though, I’ve got the 06 release of that kit, still in the box and new, the “Street, Stock & Strip “ series.
Nice man!
hpiguys Workshop - 👍👍🤘
Nice paint job. I own all 4 of these ORIGINAL ISSUE Kits from the 70's I kind of hate the re-releases and the kits I held as collector items lost a lost of the value. Guess I might as well build them. I also have an original issue AMT - AMTRONIC it has the full cardboard diorama and light green tinted glass.
Reissues let us all build the kits we like.
Enjoy your classics and build a reissue. ;)
Super cool build Chris! This is another kit I'm keen to build, after seeing some images of Jim Hoffman's injected 494 powered Chevy modified. Big tires, low stance, ticks all the boxes.
Sounds great!
You can't miss one, looks great.
Thanks!
Love the Berry Pink with matching wheels.
Thanks for watching!
I remember watching my dad build that model one Sunday growing up I’d love to get one and do myself
Grab your copy and relive a fun memory!
Thanks I plan to! Happy I saw you build this one 👍 my models have really been turning out since watching your videos ... keeps me modeling a lot too 👍👍 good work
Great job! That color scheme looks great. I can see someone actually running that car at a track.
Thanks Jim!
Good work, sweet model thank's for sharing. While i was looking at the i thought that would make a great gasser
Thanks 👍
Awesome! Pink for Breast cancer awareness month!!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome build and paint job, that pink rocks!
Thanks a bunch!
I'm here for anything racing really digging the color n details
Thanks for watching!
Although not really a fan of this type of racing I would buy this kit for the parts alone . It's a nice looking kit and love the colour. Who knows you might convert me over , these are cool looking cars.👍
Right on!
I have a few sets of the original good year race tires I got from a old friend they are not pad printed they have the raised letters on them and I like them like that
Wonderful job Chris
Thanks!
Great build, neat to do the pink for October.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome build video.love the trick for the wheel sanding.going to have to try that.
I really like those wheels and tires! I may buy this kit just for the wheels and tires to do a kit bash for a custom dirt car that I'm thinking about building
Enjoy!
Sweet kiit waiting on a stock 34 round 2 has the mollds the coupe and sedan reissue this i see it now stock street rod rat rod barn find hope they doe this so you can put your spin on it
dont know if you watch Vice Grip Garage but this and another coupe kit of some sort would look like the race car he just bought on his channel... nice work!👍🦅
Thanks for watching!
...and you're a lefty too! Great work.
Yes! Thank you!
Super duper cool! Love how you did this up. Excellent fun build.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love that color! Berry nice, indeed.
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool video you make everything look so easy...but can you imagine doing that to a real 3 window !!
Ha, it would be fun!
Killer build, I really love your color choices! Great presentation Chris!!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome!! Have you been watching Hagerty"s Red Line Rebuild of a similar race car from that era? Some of this stuff was still running when I was a kid. Not in any sanctioned competition but as Saturday night specials during the Central Wisconsin State Fair in Marshfield. The Sunday race featured the big guys from Iowa driving late model cars. Probably mid to late 1950s. Great looking cars but not as sharp as your model came out.
Thanks for watching! No, I don't have much time for those other shows at the moment, thanks!
Another great build and review of a nice simple kit. It is always nice to have a couple of simple kits in the stash.
Couldn't agree more! A break is nice!
Great built once again, Chris
Thanks again!
nice build as always...my only nitpick with the kit is as MPC has done with several models they use the same chassis with different bodies...this one the rear deck doesn't cover the fuel cell.Still these are fun builds
Good point!
Great color choice ! ! !
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build thanks for sharing your friend from Canada Rob ✌
Thanks!
I'm a cancer survivor . Thank you for the tribute .RIP Eddie
Thanks for watching and congrats!
Awesome build as always! Love your videos Chris!
Glad you like them!
Great job is always like thoroughly enjoy your builds do you use super glue on everything other than like you're modge pause you're talking about on windows and stuff In any particular super glue And you've built so many of these super glue lasts for years and years I'm guessing correct just curious because I love to build and I'm gonna get back into it again thank you for your input and please keep it up great job thank you
I use model glue for plastic to plastic and super glue for final assemblies.
Great job chris love the color cool build thank you
Glad you like it!
Sweet build.
Thanks!
Great kit ,its a beauty ,terrific job
Thanks for watching!
👍 pink
Very nice build as always. Could of also done orange October is Agent Orange Awareness as well.
Good call!
Awesome build Chris...
Thanks 👍
Kinda got thrown off with the berry pink haha Still a great build
Thanks!
Wow, love these kinds of builds. Love'em ALL, but these hold
a special place for me. Great job Chris, as always! See ya in
the next one buddy...
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome kit and build. One complaint though, hit those headers with some rust or brown pigment. I ain't never seen a dirt track car that did not have brown headers after one race. Even a a top team modern sprint car has brownish black headers,
This one is fresh from the shop in my story.
Great color choice Chris, beautiful build.
Glad you like it!
Who are the two dickheads that gave this video a thumbs down?
Great build as always.
👍👍👍 love it
Thanks!
I would’ve not gone with the pink I would’ve done like a plum crazy purple
Still looks good though
Tuff !
Nice touch/thought......thanks
Thanks for watching!
A powder puff car 👍
Oh yeah!
What is this gel pen set called? Beautiful work!
The wild one is a re-issue of the Richie evens model
Cool!
Is that oil pan on backwards? I know that's how the instructions show it going on, but I've never seen a car with the bulge in the front.
Awesome build up
Appreciate it!
nice looking model
I think so too!
Awesome build love the color. Thanks for sharing Chris
Thanks for watching!
Great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build as always! Just wondering have you ever found that future floor polish is incompatible with any brand of paint or decals? You got a great finish with it on this model and I'd like to try it. I use mostly Tamiya and Testors spray paints, sometimes Rustoleum.
Not that I know of, but if you apply it to rustoleum before it's fully dry it can make the Future crack later as it flexes.
Looks Great!! Thanks
Glad you like it!
I would like to see a Revell 1980 ram charger 🙂
and I just bought a amt nomad so
I want it!
You should get it!
We need a tour of completed models Chris. Would love to see HPI guys Display models.
I don't display them much. Way way way too many to fill a house with model cars.
I do not believe the engine is a 428 Ford . The 428 was in the FE engine family . The FE had a huge intake , where the pushrods went through , and narrow cylinder heads . The valve covers go over the intake(pushrod area ) and heads .
Looks like a hole at the back of the intake , my guess this is a bbc and the distributor would go at the rear
Yes, as spoken about in previous builds MPC has you place the magneto in the front if the body behind the engine is a Ford and in the back if the body is a Chevy.
90% of people will never notice and it simplifies molds, etc.
Any difference between using Sharpies versus Gel Pens? your thoughts are welcomed.
Sharpies are great for larger areas that I need dried right now.
Gel pens are great for small details, finer point.
Has many layers of paint does your paint booth have?😂
Thousands.
Why use primer on everything
Creates shadows where wanted, and a good base for the color coat to stick to.
