Back On The Road In 30 Minutes - Forgotten 50's 1932 Ford Drag Car

Back in January of 2020, we had the opportunity to buy two old hot rods from the estate of Larry Schroll. This 1932 Ford 5 Window was bought by Larry in the 1960s and unfortunately he never got it on the road. We spent 2 years getting the car back on the road, and the last few summers driving it all over! Today's video is a condensed build on what we call The Schroll Coupe. If you would like so see the full build the playlist is below with all 46 episodes!!

I’m a 71 year old car guy and old hot rodder, I love that there are younger guys keeping the traditions alive. cheers!!

[@RamblingRodeo]

Right, not my thing but i think it is great to see how his crew is attempting to save as much as possible and doing what they are with it! I think it is fantastic!

[@porchestra]

Thank you for the years of amazing episodes, and I wish you, Kate, Mike, Steve, Moon and everyone else in the Iron Trap family an amazing 2024.

[@stephenlea5765]

Looks awesome! Thanks for bringing another forgotten historic hot rod back to life on the streets (and for documenting it for us to watch). Love the channel, Matt.

[@TheCrackerBox]

Great job , I love that car !!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for following along!

[@robbh.6505]

Good to see a period correct example from the late 50s in the East Coast style, (channeled, but not chopped), now back on the road! Happy you are keeping it true to the original vibe for two reasons: first, I had the exact '32 model coupe many years ago as a kid, and two, I've had the same Olds/Cad- LaSalle combo. in my '36 cpe, from that time period (@ 1960)! Does my old heart good to see your generation enthused about the Old School days. Keep the vibe alive. Best to you and the crew in the New Year!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@ThomasSmith-hh8fp]

The EXACT one??? So, are you telling us- Those welds are Yours !??

[@2duser2]

Because it took place over so many videos it is easy to forget how much work goes into a perfectly shitty restoration. so much time and effort are spent on things that most people will never see. Thanks for putting that video together it was eye opening. Happy New Year

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@RaceJan]

That is one fantastic true hotrod! Best wishes from the Netherlands for 2024 to all of you!

[@charliepc56]

WOW! What a rebirth! And to see it all condensed to 30 minutes. I remember when you acquired the Schroll Coupe. It didn't look like much, but it came to the right place to be rebuilt and rebuilt right. Now it is a Hot Rodder's dream! You guys are the best!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ejtakach]

I love seeing all the progress in a single episode!

[@kevinbarrett9615]

From your northern neighbors, thanks for another great year with the Iron Trap Garage ! All the best in the new year, keep on preserving history and keeping it CQQL !

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks, you too!

[@jerryhablitzel3333]

You guys have the best content of its type on the tube. Thanks for sharing your skills and adventures with us!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@tschr979]

so many of the hot rod pioneers have left us. they were ambitious in their curating of this history

[@robertvandalsem94]

Thank you for this amazing channel. My father would've loved this channel. He was a hot rodder from the late fifties too the early sixties. He attended Vale tech in Blairsville Pa and worked as a mechanic and body man for his entire life. Your channel revives many of his hot rod stories of the past.

[@laurencemaddock1118]

I'm from the UK, but boy, I would love to drive this gorgeous hot rod to work and watch those Jaws drop 😊

[@ericargo9157]

You did right by Larry and the car itself. Right on, Matt and crew.

[@hierarchymotorz5388]

I don’t know how I’m just finding this channel but it’s awesome! Badass work bringing that 5 window back to life. It’s also cool that you’re local to me

[@David-uu1oj]

Same here, just Subscribed. Great re-build of a period correct original with a little extra flare in the interior for creature comforts.⚒️

[@daveclemons1225]

WOW! That looks amazing! You guys built a perfect Hot Rod! Very talented, and it turned out Great! I am going to go back and watch all the episodes of this build. Sure would Love to have something like that in my garage. Want to build another one??

[@adamradford1910]

I forgot how much content you did for this car. It's was such a big project of love.

[@TrashcanGarage]

Builds like this are what drew me to ITG. What an outstanding resurrection. I'm sure Larry approves.

[@funone8716]

I'd have to think Larry's looking down, smiling, and nodding "YES" in approval.

[@brianhayes7618]

Very cool build Larry would approve no doubt

[@keithnelson1123]

You did an amazing job with the patina

[@rexmayn3171]

What a cool car. I’d love to own it.

[@johndonlon1611]

Thank you for sharing the Schroll Coupe story and all the super content in 2023. Matt and guys: Work safe and smart out there, especially when scoring cool stuff in very sketchy places. Press on!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@josephpalen7149]

Pretty Badass❤ Maybe put a small Iron Trap logo on it somewhere. Nothing too obnoxious just a little signature of who did the work.

[@billtaylor5853]

Wow. Just wow. This is amazing work you're doing.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you very much!

[@DennisSmith-d8l]

Great job on this Matt

[@rolandtb3]

Bought back some memories. After a few summers, test drives, highlight upgrades to run smoother, safer, faster. Happy holidays Matt, Mike, Steve and families.

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO MATT. IN THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY. I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT OLD SCHOOL HOT RODS AND CUSTOM CARS. SO EXCITING AND FUN!!!!!

[@scottmartin356]

Larry would be proud, and amazed! at what you’ve done with his car. Great editing job, seems hard to believe that I saw most of those episodes 😂. Keep up the great work IronTrap!

[@zeeelander]

This 32 is absolutely beautiful. Probably one of the coolest and nostalgic builds I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing. 🇺🇲

[@Alignmentguy]

What did you remove the surface rust with?

[@brainsmith9827]

More please, I’m thinking paint the firewall pretty, pinstripe , and clear coat, the paint is perfect

[@tomfortson5147]

Hey Matt, it was a lot of fun to watch this whole process again. I enjoyed it the first time, but this was even more fun! And it was also pretty neat to see the shop again without the top floor addition! You've done such great improvements over the years!!!

[@karenbauer2167]

Awesome! I love what you're doing with keeping the old school hot rods alive !!

[@douglasmesina6922]

Wow, you're really good at tight welding. And wow, your shop looks amazing.

[@johnbehneman1546]

TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO MATT!!!!! ROD AND CYSTOM RESSURECTION!!!!

[@pjofurey6239]

Our history and culture is safe and looking sweet as ever.keep in it gnarly .much love from england

[@jerrylong381]

The Schroll coup is one of my favorites. It's BITCHIN!! And it's a tribute to Larry, for saving all those great cars. I think he probably had visions of doing this kind of restoration on all of them, but he became more interested in the hunt. Wishing a Happy and Prosperous New Year, Matt, Kate, Mike, Steve, Pops, Moon and all of your families! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

[@josephfine3394]

LOVE the work you did on the Schroll 5-window coupe! It truly is an original from back in the day, when the best builders really sweated the details. The only thing I'd like to see is see how it would look raised slightly in the rear to give it a bit of rake...??

[@garycamara9955]

Damn that looks good. I remember back in the day; tge CHP had blocks of wood the suze of a pack of cigarettes on a stick. They used it to check the ride height on lowered cars

[@steveclark4291]

Wishing everybody and their families at Iron Trap Garage a Happy New Year ! Looking forward to the new year seeing what you may find and save from the crusher !

[@SaneCayne]

Great idea on doing a build montage. Just amazing how much work went into this car to get it on the road! Love it! 😎👍

[@Slingshotgixxer]

The term "Hot rod" gets bantered around these days on all sorts of cars , this car however is epitome of that , absolutely spot on, fantastic rebirth !

[@User-nx7rs]

Green and white interior looks great. If it was mine I'd give it a kelly green or hunter green paint job with white pin striping.

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Wow that came out really cool!!!!! Love it! 🤙 awesome work dude

[@jasonbose3507]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE 💕 THAT YOU KEPT THE OLD HOT ROD FRAME!!! It's really a cool piece of history. Plus, the work was already done for you back in the '50's. Just take it apart, clean, reinforce the weak points, and bam! A cool REAL '50's built hot rod, no imitations here! Great job and work on saving this special piece of history, it's very appreciated 👍.

[@brianbethel9929]

Matt, great stuff. Enjoyed it tremendously. Happy new year to you all. Cheers from Wisconsin

She looks great, especially since you kept the paint rough. All the best for the new year.

[@shartne]

[@bernardhoward8123]

I reallly like what you have done to rescue the early hotrod ,with your skills you have I believe completed the vision of the original owner that they didn't have the skill or technology to finish to such a fine result! Love it!

[@xavierbabin4451]

Super work Beautiful hot rod ! Hello from France 🇫🇷

Great fab work and real hot rodding Matt and crew, thanks !

Happy New Year ITG! You guys did a great job on that car. I was giggling right along with you two on that test drive.

[@steeliewheelies]

This is amazing and I can’t believe this doesn’t have more views. I love the original patina and the fact that it’s so period correct. This is the kind of thing I want to support (& do myself!) on this planet. Thank you

[@goorgert1364]

This video is a delight to watch.

[@davidvansickle563]

[@CharlesR.Sherrick]

Great job ! Nifty interior , so nice!

[@jasonbose3507]

It would be sooo cool to take a ride in those old outside rumble bench seats! They seem very rare now, wish that there were more of them in the world. Great Little Hot Rod you got! Thanks for the video 📸.

[@johnhart125]

Love this, resurrecting old rods instead of just complete redesign is very cool! Great job!

[@stringybarkin]

You guys are special, thanks from sth Australia,all the best regards to your families

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@jerrycarle2757]

I remember watching this from "back in the day". Look how far you've come since then! Great to watch the memories. Happy New Year from Quakertown.

[@daviddewitt7524]

I absolutely love this car. Matt is a BA he really knows what he doing and knows those out hot rods. Love your videos keep on saving them and I’ll keep watching.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you for watching!

[@edwardmartin3069]

The Schroll Coupe turned out to be one of the best examples of a period-correct "hot rod" still alive today. The only parts that are not authentic are the upgrades you did in the name of safety. Most hot rods from this period are super-sketchy when it comes to secure welding, proper bracing, and the use of adequately designed materials in the construction and modifications to the chassis... We didn't always pay a lot of attention to those little details. I always hated those deep-dish mid-1950s steering wheels, but they were extremely popular back in those days. This old classic is a fantastic testimony to your shop's skills and attention to detail in bringing these old warriors in out of the cold and the rust of oblivion, and making sure they will be around for future generations to look over and see the early days of the sport with some of its warts still exposed...

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@frankgriffin1121]

Yes Matt, I have followed you what seems like forever. I rarely comment, but I really have enjoyed all the content of your entries.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

ABSOLTELY L O V E love this build!

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Matt, This was a great review of the process of bringing an old Hot Rod back to life. I remember the original videos you used to put this one together. Really enjoyable to see it all again. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Take Care

[@janetperotti9324]

Happy New Year Everyone from Al and Janet from East Stroudsburg Pa. Love the unchopped but channeled look.

[@garycamara9955]

I have the same header kit on my 28 A roadster. Its a high boy, not channeled, with a hot flatty a 39 trans, and a 40 rearend. I also have an original Moredrop front axle. I met Marty a few years ago when they were in business. I was having a 33 Dodge axle done. When he retired he couldn't find anyone interested in taking over the business. That was too bad.

[@johnbehneman1546]

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

[@bradmiller8103]

Love your work. Love your channel. Keep up the good work! You guys make it look easy!

[@starionslider2116]

Awesome vid! That schroll project was always my favorite build you did.

[@laid-backgarage4412]

You (Boyertown/Pottstown) are an hour away from me. Super stoked to see a channel like this that close to me. Awesome looking car and gorgeous interior.

[@andrewslagle1974]

You guys did an awesome job on that great car !

[@jerryjohnson4625]

That beautiful car seemed to be grinning with excitement as it was getting pulled out of the barn, like it new good things were going to happen. Great job. Love the interior.

[@coonlakebackwoods]

Great build. Nothing beats a channeled Deuce or A.

[@marauding4life]

Bad ass car guys! Outstanding workmanship!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@BigElCat]

When you drove through the water puddle, it made me remember why I gave up driving with exposed tires. It's looks soo cool when someone else does it, though.

[@steveburtenshaw1048]

Matt seeing you work is a pleasure and the skills that you have honed over time make for a great viewing experience. You go man 👍

[@tackettshoh]

Omg I love this car!!! Literally turned out perfect!!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you!
