Installing a 1932 Auburn Dash In Our 1929 Model A Roadster Pickup!!

[@georgeparker7409]

Looks like it was made for it. Very good choice and fit up. Great to see your "generation" carry on our generation of work using "what ya got".

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks George!

[@MrPedix2c]

Mat, Getting really very excited about this project in particular. Not often we see a vintage custom shop Truck, love that your going all in on the truck to build something really special. The dash is the best choice with all the high end items you had chosen for the drive line, I'm really glad to see the Auburn Dash a perfect choice! Makes for a perfect period correct combo. love it.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks Pete!

[@charlesyoung7436]

Absolutely awesome retro hot rod mod! Did you notice the outline around the center top screw hole? I assume it was either the outline of an Auburn badge or an original painted detail that kind of resembles the Batmobile logo. Matt, you might consider retaining it in the finished interior.

[@garycamara9955]

That looks alot like the chevy dash on my roadster.

[@EARTHEYES]

I'm interested to see if the arch lines up with the bottom of the windshield frame

[@radders50]

Needs “iron trap sand and gravel” sign writing … 😎

[@timmieclark9976]

Cool dash. I can imagine someone restoring an Auburn having a stroke when you cut it up. I like it anyway.

[@johnhartley3596]

That dash looks great. Really enjoyed watching its modification/installation. Thanks.

[@williamoneal2763]

You may have to name this truck “SANDY”.

[@anthonycarty9433]

Hadn't thought of that but it fits perfectly , and it has a nice ring to it . Sandy the shop truck . Good thinking Batman .

[@garyhughes9199]

Good choice for the dash, won't see another one at the car show for sure.

[@_Peremalfait]

Looks like you brought back a little bit of Texas in that gas tank. You could plant a cactus.

[@davidjenkins1958]

Matt, what a good choice to put that Auburn dash in the shop truck, that looks killer. Good job Matt,good job.

[@terryeustice5399]

It looks great. Was this body buried in sand for years. That was amazing how much dirt and sand was in they.Your fabrication on this dash. It’s great. Thank you for sharing

[@rayk9315]

I love it, that's what hot rodders do. Make what you have fit your ride.

[@sjp52047]

Gonna be the coolest shop truck in the US of A!!

[@glennlyons4890]

Hey guys, I am regularly amazed how quickly ITG are able to transform a find from rusty wrecks to assembled cars. That dash sure does lift the look of the whole truck. What a unique looking vehicle it will be when finished. It's as though the traditional past is reappearing right before my eyes with each ITG episode I watch. 🙂🇦🇺👍😎

[@richardmarino5658]

Great decision it looks great like it was meant to be there. Nice job.

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Once you get a project started there is no telling where it will lead. This is a really good one!

[@marjoriekaminski3996]

Dash looks GREAT! Decision, do I sell rare dash for $$$, or use it in the shop truck!

[@williamb2642]

Looks absolutely at home in the truck..nice!!

[@stephenfrost2272]

The Auburn rust matches the Ford rust perfectly.

[@charlesherrick7400]

My most favorite project...it just keeps getting better and better.

[@louiscornwell338]

Great job Matt,making the dash look like it belongs where it is but,I have watched this video 4 times just to hear the guy ripping that slide guitar.

[@64Dasani]

I like the way the truck is coming together. I hope you’ll build a cool trailer to go with it.

[@snoopu2601]

I say heck yeah it looks great. 👍🏽 just like you said that's why you do all that hunting and picking to find what you like. It's going in your shop truck and the dash is going to be what you are going to be looking at while your driving your daily truck why not look at a high end dash.

[@randomyank7777]

Now that's an upgrade ! LMFAO on all of the sand & what nots falling out when you cut the original dash out .Wow . Some bling to go with your Man Thing ! Very nice , Matt ! This is going to be a hot truck !

[@kenimhoff6475]

Who would have thought an Aburn dash would have the same curve as the model A. It looks awesome as usual.

[@mikakari9498]

The dash brings this little RPU on the next level.

[@tedhewitt4299]

I was quite shocked to see you cutting into the gas tank but when the sand started pouring out I figured it was a goner anyway.

[@tomfreebern2556]

really starting to look like a dry lakes push truck I love it

[@IronTrapGarage]

That’s the goal!

[@geofo60]

Definitely the right choice of dashboard for the pickup Matt. It looks great. Geoff 🇬🇧

[@josephpalen7149]

New dash looks really good. Keep up the good work.

[@TheTubeTube2]

Hello Matt Paris 🇫🇷Calling..That Auburn dashboard was a heck of a find, It could have been made for the ‘29 Roadster… and now it is! That was an oasis’ worth of sand stashed in the gas tank either it belonged to a oil sheik or someone didn’t like the owner! I wonder who the kid was that stuffed toy cars into the tank? Whatever, this is a great “I’ll watch it again” video, thank you.

[@johnmaguire8689]

I’m really happy about this build, it’s the kind of hot rod I would do. Very cool!

[@1936fordcrazy]

This is such a awesome build, im loving the direction this truck is going

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks Scott!

[@shaggy2scooby4you]

you guys are awesome and so lucky that you have a Alburn dashboard for your shop 😀 truck

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Matt awesome effort on the dash it looks like it belongs in that truck. I think it is great you use a lot of the rare pieces in your own projects instead of selling them. Money comes and goes, but the rare parts like this dash is not something that comes very often. I'm starting to like the truck as much as I like the Scroll coupe, and that is my favorite of all your builds. Kudos Matt!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you! Yea I try and save the “good stuff” for our own projects

[@jonathontaylor8861]

That's going to be a great rolling advert for the shop, v smart looking dash.

[@noddynoodle7060]

I love the look of this truck, and the Auburn dash is an awesome addition. I am interested to see how the blower performs and whether there is a noticeable performance upgrade. Pats to Moon and cheers to you all.

[@Dave-1277]

Dash looks gorgeous Matt! Nice work as always!

[@JonDraeger]

Wow, what a supernice dash! Hard to beat the old stuff, particularly gauge clusters. Simply Beautiful!

[@tomwinkle1597]

Awesome dash! Little primer and paint and she will be good as new..lol

[@murdoc6501]

That dash is amazing and seeing the process of mating it to a Model A was super informative! Loving where the shop truck project is going. Keep moving forward!

[@Jeddco66]

the dash looks and fits great,now just need something special for that center area--that has the logo outline.

[@e.s.bryant765]

Thanks for the new video, guys. I enjoy each one.

[@THEoriginaljmelford]

Matt. I like the dash! it looks good in the RPU. also glad to see you wearing the L A roadster show T shirt. The more I see you work on your 1929 RPU the more I want to get started on mine. First I have to finish my 1956 F100. Jim

[@jasongleave355]

Loving this little truck, so cool

[@bryanstruble8927]

I love that decoration in the middle of the dash. Hope you keep it.

[@marksummers7725]

Dash fits very well.. Awesome, Enjoy... & Thanks for the update..

[@johnbuckley2182]

Really like the new dash. A lot of work, but it is worth it.

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Matt, really starting to like your shop truck...what is pretty cool you being the owner of your shop, you can keep what ever parts you pick(estate sales etc) for future projects...I like the "rake" of the Auburn dash verses straight up and down....be safe!! God Bless!!

[@craig7343]

Brilliant work Matt looks amazing. Can't wait to see it going. 👍👍

[@johnkranz4004]

Looks excellent very nice job you turn that old valve into a keychain for the truck

[@robertluce4194]

Fantastic fit on that Auburn dash

[@kevinkelly1523]

The new dashboard looks outstanding. Great job.

[@jimstone3951]

Hi Matt, love the dash. I have a 1930 ford roadster pick-up all stock. So I'm really into watching you finishing your shop truck. Have a great day.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelwillette5738]

Matt, As said by others "great work". Funny how some parts of a project fight you and others "almost" fall into place. At least you make it appear so. Visualisation, brain work, hard work, mix thoroughly. You inspire me. When very young I saw hot rods in the early '60s small format, green print, Hot Rod Magazines. Sometimes the dash was called out as Auburn, sometimes not. I had no idea what an Auburn was then. I just knew i liked them. Later I wondered how it was done. Now i know one method. As said in the movie " The Martian" you scienced the s**t out of it. Doing a massive amount of that on my own project. Thank you.

[@damienhammond6449]

Absolutely awesome dash. It looks as if made for the truck!

[@TrendsbySterling]

Awesome find on the dash and it looks very cool Matt! Great work as usual.

[@joealbert7773]

Really nice, the slant will help a lot in being able to see the gauges. I put a 50 Ford speedo/gauges in the center of the dash on my Model A and it sets flat. I'm tall so my sight angle to the gauges if poor. I can only see the fuel gauge if I lean down and to the center. I only check it when I'm stopped or if the car stops running.

[@tonyrum5808]

The dash is on its way to being your masterpiece! Really, really looks fantastic and kool! Your moving right along with your projects and your Iron Trap Garage!!! Kudos!!!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching Tony

[@ralphoard3187]

I hope that you keep the gauges and have them rebuilt to make them functional .

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yes that’s the plan.

[@superhawk3057]

I like that you didn't fill in the screw holes on the left and right but utilized them. Awsume job as usual.

[@mikeherrschaft7167]

Kool! fast becoming my favorite ITG project!

[@stevemiller7654]

Love the look, the practicality of the Auburn, and the workmanship demonstrated here. Now one question: Why are you using straight slotted screws rather than Phillips? Your driver slipped several times and would have surely damaged any finished paint were this thae final assembly. Phillips were invented to combat this tendency during production, and also do the same for us in our back yard shops. I personally use stainless Phillips fasteners when ever they are appropriate. I know that their design only dates back to c. 1935, but still worth implementing them in the assembly of a build typical of the decades surrounding WW2. Thank You for showing us the way.....RooDog....

[@johnfowler6600]

Totally agree even better chrome phillips screws adds a touch of class to any project no matter what color interior

[@WoodyWorkshop-31A]

He could use Robertson screws and say it was a Canadian truck.

[@hotrodmyk]

Just my opinion but I think Philips look too "modern" for this build.

[@ralphoard3187]

Very cool dash. 😎 👍

[@bradeastham5494]

That dash is perfect in there,love it!

[@Joe.Doucette]

You actually cut up a tank that was already sand blasted inside? In fact it was media blasted... sand, glass, rocks and even valves. You rich kids. ;) It looks great, Matt (and crew).

[@paulcopsey6170]

Nice job and love the way you tap with the hammer a few times and it fits . Its called experience .

[@stevebeanemusic897]

Great seeing the classic Auburn dash application on the RPU. As always, I enjoy seeing your work fitting and making parts work in hot rod tradition. Going to be a cool shop truck!

[@jamesotheriault4105]

That looks great, you did a awesome job, I love your videos

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!!! ROD & CUSTOM IS ALIVE AND WELL IN 2022!!!!

[@robertszymanski7804]

SWEEET!! what can I say you've triumphed again ❤

[@brucebates2795]

Love the new dash

[@drhoff585]

That’s a killer mod. Thanks for the idea 👍

[@TrashcanGarage]

That's really slick. The overall look and fit really work. 😎👍

[@Racemojo]

That tank looks like my tanks on my diesel work truck with the cost of fuel lately!! Looking good though Matt! Matt- Mojo Speed Shop and Lounge

[@roberthaynes8467]

Gonna be fun. Turn all the dash screws the same way - gotcha!

[@tomkrisel4493]

Called "clocking" the screws.

[@milokerrigan7256]

That’s awesome! Great choice for the dash!!!

[@johnhartley3596]

I think that kids may have had a little fun pouring sand in that old tank.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Haha we agree!

[@johnp8385]

Dash really fit nice after a lot of fine tuning always thought gauge panel was high end of course Auburns were very expensive automobiles owned by the elite thought I saw your Dad standing off in background hope to see him getting involved with his project too

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yep dad just got back!

[@squidgameisaliarisawnosqui5341]

One of my favorite builds great video ty Steve

[@guyanderson4570]

I wish you would make a video about the process you go through to get a title for all the cars that you build.

[@study650]

That dash looks like it made for that truck. Awesome.

[@davidvansickle563]

Great job on the dash 👍👍 it looks awesome 👏

[@HansensSpeedShop]

The new dash looks awesome

[@xozindustries7451]

I like that it matches the age of the rest of the truck

[@jamesarnold998]

Looks really cool! Thanks for the lesson!!

[@alethacriss9308]

Love the shop truck, it has a lot of character. I was wondering what you were going to pull out of that gas tank next. A rabbit?

[@rt38478]

dash is perfect. it makes your truck unique.

[@mwrcrft]

Nice job, looks like it came with it.

[@stephencudaback4548]

[@mg-lz3kk]

[@BlackheartCharlie]

Imagine the years and decades passing and that gas tank filling up, one grain of sand at a time.

[@shartne]

Man that dash is great looking you did well installing it. Needs some windex for starters maybe? I know your gonna have it rebuilt. Pretty sweet though.
