Building The Ultimate Hot Rod In 20 Minutes - Ford Free-T

[@MrTodd51]

I am 81 years old and lived through a lot of the early classic hot rod times and what I have just witnessed you build is a fantastic example of highly skilled fabrication. Well done fellows.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@dombutler7685]

It makes you realize the amount of hard work that has gone into building this and the result is stunning.

[@seventy4jns855]

Well that is the No1 video of 2020 already 🙌🏻 Nailed it !

[@bricehatch1943]

For sure!!!

[@elkoposo686]

Be proud all of you who made this possible. Thank you for everything; the adventure, the skills & knowledge expressed, the fun, the fubars, the fantastic education & entertainment. This video alone deserves an award. Excellent, excellent efforts all 'round. Very well done Iron Trap Garage!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@JSxxxxxxx]

Still can’t believe how lucky Mike was that day he set himself on fire 🔥

[@IronTrapGarage]

We still ride him hard about that!!

[@mechanicsteve2320]

All I can say guys is Wow! Beautiful car. It puts a smile on my face to see that their are still real Craftsman out there such as your self.

[@RichieCat4223]

What I like about this video is for people who just found you. Don't maybe understand Hot Rodding or just curious in what it takes to do a project. Thumbs up as always. 👍👍👍

[@dennisc.1189]

It is amazing to see the time-lapse on the Free-Tee Hot Rod build it really showed all of the hard work that was put in on it. Just one thang to add I would love to see Free-Tee go down the road once the weather clears up.

[@richm.6220]

I'm an old hot rodder all most 80 love your make anything work mindset can't do too much stuff anymore living in an Apt complex you remind myself in the 60's I look forward to watching you next video.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrStacy1974]

Watching this montage makes the "free-t" look like it was a piece of cake. Those of us that watched the build series know better, nice job and I hope Ya'll can enjoy it for many years to come!

[@russellmccullum4623]

Oh man ! i completely forgot what you started with ! I can't believe you looked at that pile of floppy flimsy sheet metal and decided to build a car out of it ! Awesome car and and a great build series ! I'd love to see an episode called '' How Free Is That T ? '' Man hours , what did you buy sell & trade . How close did you get to a free T

[@olronholleran1310]

I'm always amazed at the quality of your workman ship, It's a gift that few people have. Gramps

[@1936fordcrazy]

Truly amazing the before and after, this is how a t should be done, hope to see it out this summer at the shows

[@oldschoolmotorsickle]

You nailed the look and feel of a V8-T.

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

A permanent record of craftsmanship and hard work. I like other viewers forgot what you started with !

[@mistyman591]

Sweet! A ton of work was well worth it.i love the sound of that flat head

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@raymondsprengelmeyer1278]

Thank you for sharing! When you first started on the Ford Free Tee, I thought it was to be a build without Ford components so I didn't follow it, but she is a work of art!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Build without Ford components? You jumped ship way too quick haha. Thanks for watching!

[@jongolliher3806]

hahaha instead of "Ford Free Tee" it was "Free Ford Tee". What a beauty it is and has "Traditional Hot Rod" all over it. Matt is not only a great builder but also has a great eye for traditiona hot rods the way we built them back in the day. Way to go Matt!

[@Critical_Stinking]

This just came up in my recommendations. Never seen anything before by these guys. One of the best fabrication videos that I've ever seen. Makes me want to try harder to get good myself. Amazing.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@ajperotti2551]

We love this car. The first build my wife and I did was a T- Bucket back in 1987 - 1988. It wasn't steel but it was an old Speedway body. Watching this car come back to life was a walk down memory lane for us. Thank you for all you and the crew bring to the table, for all your fellow Hot Rodders. Happy New Year.

[@IronTrapGarage]

That’s awesome the wife and yourself built one together! That’s what it’s all about! Creating lasting memories and building something with your own hands!

[@davidmellott5049]

This has been the absolute best build series I have ever seen. The amount of build time you showed was excellent, and it showed just how difficult it is to build a car from scratch. This wasn't a buy all the parts and put it together with a how-to manual, this was a create each part by building it and then create the next and on and on. I was truly amazed by your ability to think on your feet and change your mind in mid-stride. This is a stepping stone to bigger and better things to come and I wish you all the luck in achieving your goals, and I hope to be here watching it all come true.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks so much for the kind words David! These are my favorite cars to build and are so satisfying when done!

[@davidmellott5049]

@@IronTrapGarage I like when you say "when done." There were times I'm sure you might have thought oh my God this is going to take forever, like when you were doing the tunnel and floorboards for instance when it was done you sat down in a chair with a look on your face of pure relieve and satisfaction, I do know what that feeling is like also.

[@andrewamador2214]

Some of the very best sheet metal fabrication I've ever seen!

[@tommycato6368]

Apart from the great craftsmanship I always get so relaxed being in that garage of yours. Have a great 2020 guys!

[@MrT01582]

I love that build .....need to win the lottery to get one built similar here in the 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@jrwilson2347]

The work you did on that tranns tunnel is a work of art... Nice!

[@Roontheo]

Gents: I've watched hours of Matt TIG welding and have never seen a foot pedal control. I thought there was one involved? Keep up the great work and thanks for the many hours of enjoyment.

[@jongolliher3806]

Matt uses a thumb controlled tig welder instead. Some folks are better with thumb than foot . :)

[@doncuddihee8137]

"Wow that was a big project." "Hear that?....... so solid." It was a heavy metal pleasure to watch this "Free T in 20 min." vid. Matt is the super-best of all old- school hot-rod craftsmen!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Haha those little clips are funny to watch for me! Those little victories help you get through a long project! Thanks for watching!

[@christiandekok8856]

This is the kid of car that pops to mind when I hear the words "Hot Rod."

[@charlesherrick7400]

One of your top 5 videos of all time. Great start for 2020.

[@munched55]

Luscious engine song. Stunning over-all build. A dream ride for anybody.

[@frankjones4950]

Thanks Matt. Really makes you appreciate the work that went into the build. And that flatty sounds incredible. Can't wait to hear it live

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArgentPure]

Amazing work! And to think you built her from the ground up in only 20 minutes! Very impressive!

[@tihzho]

Great video and what makes it even greater is not having typical head banging music so typical of these car building videos! Thumbs up! EDIT: 6:02 Never mind......

[@gmuro-js7so]

Hearing it come alive at the end was amazing!

[@Horacio-Lorenzo]

Hi guys, beautiful work, many hours of effort and sacrifice invested in finishing a work of art of mechanics, as I always tell you I speak Latin Spanish and I understand very little of what they say in the videos but it is exciting to see them work giving signature to Every piece of sheet metal, with a lot of neatness and passion for what you do, I hope I have not bored you with my comment and I hope that the Google translator manages to translate correctly what I wanted to express. I send you a big hug and many blessings for you and your families In this 2020 that has just begun, his friend from Argentina.

[@stevescott9721]

Awesome montage. Great video to start the new year. You guys inspire me to get off my butt and get out in the shop. Keep em coming. Fan for life. Thanks.

[@johnwhitley2898]

👍 That is a great build Bro! Kudos to you for evolving to here! Then, you fired up the Flattie! Yeah, baby!

[@johnhealy4647]

Nice to see a 20 minute quickie with the "show" then the proof she's not a trailer queen. You're a true Craftsman!

[@daleskidmore1685]

When I found IronTrap the Free T was nearly finished and there was too many new things in progress to go back and catch up, so this was a nice vid to watch. You have done an amazing job, she looks fantastic and the level of craftsmanship is second to none. I don't know if you have heard of Bad obsession motorsport, Project Binky, but your's and their channel are my 2 favorite on YT on cars. Keep on keeping on and Happy New Year.

Watching this video of you guys building ball the welding going I could sware I could smell that O zone smell youi get from all that welding, And you get watch this car come to life, I always love the T roadsters I had glass 23 T bucket I put together from part from a wreaked car 30 Chevy boxed frame Pontiac Fire bird rear end. home built wooden pick up bed, Small block Chevy V8 power glide trans, I never finished the car had to sell it to support my family, wasn't happy with way tha radiator was higher the the cowl but did get to see it finished and on the road. Well I did do most of the work. it didn't come close to what your doing but was fun putting together. Your T looks great.

Wow , you've built a truly beautiful traditional-style hot rod . Thank you for making these videos for us , too .

Good vibes from a poorly old guy in UK . Major respect . Pete

Maybe a Vincent Black shadow what more coulda fella want well maybe a young Stevie Nicks😍😂😁✌

Well done the Free T is a thing of beauty and sounds amazing!

[@desmondcooper3590]

One of my favorites that you've built beautiful Thanks Matt. I want my own hot rod

[@blaisesudderth6711]

EDUCATION through ENTERTAINMENT. You have demonstrated several aspects of an ULTIMATE build, but for me the pinnacle was the replacement of the wood frame with the square tubing. We have 25 pre-1950 cars in our collection, 1 of those is a 1938 Packard Hearse. From the "A" pillar back, the body framework is wood with sheet metal attached to the wood with tacks. The lower ½ of the "A" pillars and 4 side doors' wood structure desperately needs replacing. We have learned a lot, addressing the replacement of wood with metal. Thank you for taking us along on this educational journey. Just an insignificant thought - I am here to learn from you. I, personally, would like more point by point 1-sided conversation and less time listening to very good music.
