Re: just a heads-up
No such animal. Do you mean a '39 convertible sedan?

Re: just a heads-up
It is a convertible sedan. It looks like a big project from the first video they posted, junk and garbage up to the tops of the doors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrj1Vanpbk8

Re: just a heads-up
In my case it's not about the car itself, but rather about the b.s.er.

Re: just a heads-up
Reality TV B.S. ...Did you see, they actually tried to pull that barge out of the mud with a chain wrapped around the front bumper. Gotta give credit where due, though, they correctly identified '36 fenders. (Someone must have told them.)

It is the manufactured drama and misleading statement that bothers me. I went and watched parts of the last video on the car. They got the engine to run, removed trash from the car, and fixed the brakes. There are no gauges, the throw-out bearing was making horrible noises, the cooling system was totally unknown, the wiring was non-existent, etc. The people in the video were even joking they might not make it to the gas station five minutes away. That is not running and driving. That is reality TV drama. |

Re: just a heads-up
Some need to understand what Iron Trap Garage is doing helps spread what we all enjoy. Fact there's a much younger generation than most of us here on the barn that follow and admire what the Iron Trap guys are doing especially with getting old Ford cars. trucks and parts back into circulation after their prior owners allowed the stuff to in many cases just deteriorate.
When any one from a younger generation has the opportunity to acquire something from what's been found and is now being offered is a win the way I see it. Ronnieroadster

Re: just a heads-up
I know Matt Murray from Iron Trap Garage, and I have never known him to be BS'r. He spends the time, effort, and money to acquire a lot of stuff that has been sitting for years. He travels all over the USA on his own dime to get the stuff that he has gotten. Be thankful that he is willing to hunt the stuff out, and to get it back into circulation. Otherwise a lot of what he finds may end up in landfills, or scrap yards.

Re: just a heads-up
As a new to flatheads guy, I commend anyone finding an old car and attempting to fire it up. Ronnieroadster said it right, there are a lot of younger people (myself included, but I'm not really that young lol) that enjoy watching someone else wrenching on old iron that is getting very hard to find. I've posted my own videos on YouTube with the flathead I found, and have enjoyed the comments I received, even some of the critical ones. It's all a learning experience and I've learned many things from YouTube that is in no manual anywhere.

Re: just a heads-up
Coop Thanks for the indorsement
I'm already the president of the Connecticut Street Rod Association and the condo association where my little Hobby shop is located. That's enough for me at this time. Ronnieroadster
