Can We Build A Ford Model A From This Pile Of Scraps???

[@foxyloon]

Goes to show that Ford had the mass production of these cars figured out pretty well. This was a very neat video to watch!

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Matt, Steve & Matt's Dad, this will be a good start for someone, that was a pretty good idea Mike had!!! Be safe!! God Bless!!

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO MATT!!!!! I OFTEN WONDERED HOW A MODEL A FITS TOGETHER!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! I LOVE THE MODEL A. IT IS SO SIMPLE AND BASIC TO BUILD!!!!

[@georgeparker7409]

Great job! The "Earl Schib" jingle/ad was "I will paint any car, any color for $29.95". And occasionally there would be a$10.00 coupon in the paper. The secret to a real good job was to do your own prep and have them just spray the car. did a lot of them back in the day. The "assembly" you did brought back memories of "back in the day" welding together pieces of late 30's and 40 Ford coupes for "stock cars" .

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

george parker I remember Earl Schibe as well .Some people that lived down the street from when I was a kid took their 1967 Chevy station wagon to Earl and they painted Everything .Door handles mirrors I don't know how the bumpers did not get painted maybe they ran out of paint.

[@josephprettyman2178]

You know your bigtime,when you've got complete cars laying around the yard,great job guys.

[@daviddaniels6473]

Love the idea, Love the challenge, Love the car! Well done guys!

[@c.eric.holcomb3652]

Hey Matt. Since you, you’re dad and Steve beat Mike’s challenge I think he should take you three out to the most fancy restaurant in Pennsylvania a treat you three to a T-bone steak dinner with all of the trimmings. 😁

[@caltrask130]

I like the challenge! it's nice to see bits from different buys from around the country all come together in the form of a roller "in an afternoon". And come together as a piece you can get back into circulation for someone on a budget.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yep that’s the goal!

[@MrStacy1974]

Great job on a fun video...... and for showing Mike up.

[@steveclark4291]

Mike that was a great idea and it was fun to watch ! Thank you for the challenge !

[@PastPreserver]

Cool I just bought a 30 A in pieces nice to see how it's supposed to go together I know I'm missing some parts lol. 👍

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Looks like Matt’s dad is having fun. This is a great starter project

[@skipstein744]

Success! Good project with respect for the car. Onward!

[@dennishernden2264]

That old Merc was incredible. My father had a white 66 Mercury Montrey with the roll down back window and as kids we would stand on the back seat with our heads and arms out on the back deck while flying down the highway. He always joked we had 440 air conditioning, 4 windows down 40 mph AC.

[@MF-rn5os]

One of my favorite body styles.

[@northvegassailrabbit3642]

Very entertaining, liked the yellowjackets.

[@squidgameisaliarisawnosqui5341]

Very cool great video ty Steve

[@Dave_Boyer]

That’s how I’m building my 28 closed cab pickup, it’s been once piece at a time here and there. All I need are subrails and running boards still.

[@ronfast703]

It must feel really good to be able to roll a car into the shop and not have to move other vehicles around. That upstairs storage is a blessing. Wish I had the extra space to do something like that. Maybe my next property. Keep posting videos and having fun.

[@anthonycarty9433]

Good job chaps , a decent starter project for someone .

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

Would be a great start for a father son project ! I did that 54 years ago with my Dad's Model T Touring Car That I own today !

[@helenehargreaves4024]

This should be a great watch...thanks for the episode,steve,helene and fred the dog

[@tttco]

Great video thanks for posting

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE.

[@johnkranz4004]

Good job Looks Great

[@dombutler7685]

It's really cool that you put it together, some of those parts you nearly left behind in WV!

[@juanbarturen2726]

Hell, I wish I could find parts like those. Wow. That would be a dream come true

[@black88coupe]

Cool video and a fun project. 👍👍👍👍

[@hortman201]

Great video. Henry Ford wouldn't be too annoyed....lol!

[@JesusTorres-qr1gz]

That project was great and very quick assembly, thanks for sharing it with us, I have a question, could you use sandblasting with the water power pressure? From the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.

[@ajperotti2551]

Great entry level project. If I had more room I would think about it.

[@vito336]

So, Mike brought you all those parts. Now Mike has a clean driveway . Good job, Mike!

[@kenimhoff6475]

I was hoping this wasn't going to be another project car. I can't wrap my head around all the projects going on in the shop as it is. Cool project for someone else. Great job!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Nahhhhh this one is for someone else!

[@DuckReach432]

Basically, a full-size model OF a Model A. I hope somebody sees a future for it. That was a fun video.

[@RichieCat4223]

6:33 Is that a Craftsman type air compressor running ? Thanks. I think you could sell it quicker as a complete car than in pieces. Put some rubber on it also.

[@leechburglights]

OMG, I would love to get into this... :( sadly I don't have a garage. Looking for a new home now and trying to setup for a spot to enjoy retirement with car stuff. Great video!

[@Ecosse57]

i'm building a t-bucket outside in new england, on the dirt. wish me luck!

[@leechburglights]

@@Ecosse57 Yeah, my current neighbors would turn me in for having a junk yard 🤣 I've contained myself this long, I wan wait a wee bit longer. There will always be something somewhere to work on.

[@keithwallington4966]

Nice job guys fire it up

[@patrickmoran8790]

Those parts are more solid than the rough body I built my hotrod out of. That includes the front crossmember of the frame, because mine had a hole at the center from being worn by the front spring.

[@lewisquick1018]

Only at the Iron Trap Garage could anyone build a car out of pieces that are laying around. Good job Guys.

[@bluedog373]

Luv the run flats

[@mitchbarber3468]

What kind of price on that a sedan. ? Interested in purchase

[@IronTrapGarage]

$2500

[@shanebowles4854]

Man I’d love to be able to get this shipped to the uk

[@Kevin-go2dw]

Get it shipped in knocked down form. You might want one with a right hand steer though.

[@IronTrapGarage]

We could easily palletize this and ship it over! Even if you just want it without the frame! Send us an email if interested. [e-mail]

[@836dmar]

Fun project! Doesn’t sound like that scroll compressor. Whew!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yea we’re redoing our air line plumbing and had to use the spare compressor!

[@bradmaas6875]

That looks like a good start, now if you were on this side of the country

[@jasongleave355]

Iron trap airfix kit, ild buy it

[@benevans902]

You forgot the lighter with the brake clean, works wonders on nests

[@geoffreymills9932]

That's a cool little car and it has a lot of potential, nice job guy's 👍

[@fredvliet9715]

How about a sedan delivery conversion? Be great to watch you make a back door.

[@markgriffin4888]

I agree, they already have a shop truck, now Mike could have a delivery sedan to go with it.

[@ronaldswaney2439]

I new you could do it great job

[@garyjoens8404]

Yard art!!

[@robertjean659]

Great video to watch, easy to do when you have the bits laying around. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

[@jonathanstone6545]

That's really cool

[@richardlees778]

nice one matt

[@davidjenkins1958]

Hey Matt, I know it has been a while since I’ve messaged you. I’m hitting on the tail end of the 1966 F350 I’ve been restoring for the owner of the company I work for. I’m really pushing and hoping to get it done and see if I can take it to fall Carlisle along with the 32 Ford truck B model, if I do get it done and bring it to Carlisle I hope to run into you and Mike. Take care and hopefully see you then.

[@rayrayadkins6178]

That's pretty cool to see you get that you and your dad and Steve get that done and met Mike's challenge and if I had extra money to spare I probably take that on as a project to do with me my son and my wife but life has tolls and bills have to be paid

[@rickeagle]

Roof art for the shop!

[@yayoib49]

I liked it , Have You ever extended a Model A frame ? I got a Flat heas 6 a guy replaced with a V 8 , i8t is to good of a Engine to just Toss , I am thinking a Rat Rod

[@moneygooddude]

Just like Henry made it!

[@roberthocking9138]

Enjoyed the build, but to be fair, you already had a complete rolling chassis, CW engine, gbox, axles, diff, steering and wheels !!

[@scottdean4117]

Hi Matt I’m looking for a 30-31 passenger side coupe quarter panel let me know if you can come across one thanks

[@johnbehneman1546]

ROD & CUSTOM IS ALIVE AND WELL IN 2022!!!!

[@steveclark4291]

Loved this video and I love the car which is strange because I usually like the curved body style better ! Thank you for sharing this with me !

[@jerrymccollum9649]

You guys are having waaaay too much fun,although, when you love what you’re doing it almost becomes child’s play. Keep on keeping on!

[@1954shadow]

“5-hours,” “12-hours,” makes no difference, time well spent when you are having fun.

[@helenehargreaves4024]

Sadly living in england the chances of getting to build somthing like this is unlikely for me..but really enjoyed watching you guys put this little gem together.steve,helen and fred the dog

[@Ecosse57]

some of the early english fords make great hot rods... just scaled down a wee bit. but i get your point.

[@helenehargreaves4024]

Yep..they sure do..prices are so ridiculously high though..I'd be happy with a Austin 7 but few and far between

[@SingleStacked]

You guys are ready for the Ford assembly line!

[@tomlangley6236]

Looks like all you did was haphazardly slap a few body panels together. Now you can take it all apart and do it right.

[@IronTrapGarage]

That’s exactly what we did so we can offer it as a project to a budget minded hot rodder. We mentioned in the video numerous times…

[@thirstynardo4775]

I have a full 29 tudor body. From the bottom up. Both front fenders, grill, hood, and original headlights and mount. I wanna have a chassis built by BolingBrothers for like 7k.

[@marcbordelon218]

It's a 3-D crossword puzzle!

[@ralphroberts3291]

Maybe a two seater/hachback/deliver van ??? Nice.

[@keithlane7471]

What would a project car like that cost to buy +/- ? It's great to watch these videos and see how the early Ford's are pretty simple to assemble. Another great video.

[@shawnv1349]

I believe they have it listed for $2,500

[@NathansMoparGarage]

With all the parts you guys have I would think you could put together a couple more cars.

[@artjones2498]

For 2500$ thats a friggin steel....im a couple hrs away...but i have 2 projects going on now....it has alot of potential.....

[@randysinger2673]

Clear it, Yard Art !

What you got under the dark cover

[@jasonrackawack9369]

Challenge part 2.......restores pile of parts all the way back to factory stock "original" and it goes on to win awards at Hershey and Macungie with it😉👍

[@thinkingofyouto1]

What’s under the car cover

[@douglascox9996]

As a practical matter, how well would a restored Ford Model A fare as an everyday car on today’s roads and highways? I’ve always loved the type since my 1951 Mercedes 4-door was my regular transportation in 1960s Germany.

[@shawnv1349]

People have done it. The motors don’t last like todays do, and regular maintenance is a must, but it’s doable if you don’t mind driving 45-50mph

[@johnbehneman1546]

DOES BROOKVILLE REPRODUCE ALL THESE PARTS NEW? JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

[@johnbehneman1546]

HOT RODDERS ARE THE FIRST RECYCLERS!!!!!

[@fredwicker5400]

Bring them back from the grave. I've done a few of these,ez to get someone started on a budget.

You guys truly able to make ice cream out of horse crap. Terrific video.

[@TrashcanGarage]

Not bad. Just like they did it back in Detroit. 😁

[@forrestcox9361]

Matt, great job. A real challenge would be to turn this two door into the rare sedan delivery. I know some of the parts like the rear door, spring cover, and some of the support brackets are unique to the sedan delivery. With your skills I know you could get it done. Like you need another project, right. Wanted to throw the idea out there, would love to watch that one happen.

[@juanbarturen2726]

Damn! My wife would kill me. But man!. That would be so cool.

[@73technite]

Matt put some tires on it, a hood and headlights and it will be much more attractive to potential customers.

[@sunnyormsby8402]

no splash aprons, no fenders, no hood, no bumpers, 🤣

I’ll give ya $2499 for the yellow jackets 🐝 and $1 for the car 😂😂😂
