1932 Hot Rods

[Jim Whalen]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post on this forum so I thought I'd introduce myself with a few pictures of some 1932 Fords. The goal is to do one of each major body type, so far I have got two coupes and a roadster:

Cheers,

Jim

Welcome Jim. Looks like you're hard at work getting the most out of the Revell Deuce family. I agree, the red on red highboy roadster is my fave. Very nice. It really takes full advantage of the stuff Revell has on offer. And the fit, finish and detailing are first rate.

It would be interesting to work out what "each major body" type is. If we include the Vicky, Sedan Delivery and the Pickup (which as a Revell compatible type are only, as yet, available in the aftermarket), then that makes 7 basic types (Roadster, 3-window, 5 window, Tudor, Vicky, S.D. and Pickup). But then I notice you've already done a fendered and fenderless 3-window, so we have to dial in variations. How 'bout fendered, fenderless, highboy, channeled, chopped, and unchopped? Taken to an admittedly ridiculous extreme that would be 117,649 combinations! Even limiting yourself to the 4 Revell kits and just fendered, and highboy makes it 16 builds and you've just scratched the surface. It doesn't even take into account Old Skool and Modern, Street and Drag, etc., etc. It's obvious this is a potential bottomless pit!

Jim welcome to the forum. You do excellent work. I can't wait to see more.

Welcome to the asylum and those are some great deuces you have there.

[Draggon]

I love that highboy, too!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments - looks like this is a friendly forum with so many replies in one day!

My next '32 build will be a pickup done in a pro-street style so I am trying to cover different types of rods as well as different body styles but hoping to rationalise a bit by varying the style and body type at the same time - I don't want to build nothing but '32s for years!

I've added a few more pics:

One of my other interests is dragsters:

Any comments always welcome - my goal is to improve all the time!

Cheers,

Jim

Good stuff !

Ehh, what's up, Doc??? Sorry, I've wanted to channel Bugs' for years... Welcome to the funny farm! Those are some very nice builds.

The beautiful thing about the '32 is that it's a versatile body form that lends itself to customization better than almost any other vehicle design. I have a friend who has built over two dozen, everyone different, everyone a work of art in its own right... I look forward to seeing more.
