Mike's 1934 Ford "Crapiolet" Has Solid Quarter Panels...FINALLY

Now that the passenger side of Mike's "Crapiolet" is roughed in and the cowl is looking a lot better, it's time to turn our attention to the driver's quarter panel. The driver's quarter panel needs the same repairs as the passenger side, the lower front of the quarter and the wheel well. Mike works on fitting up all the panels and calls in Matt for the welding. The next step is to turn our attention to the doors, which are probably the worse part of the entire body. Hopefully we can kick ass this winter and get this one on the road!!

Nice to see the teamwork on this build, it’s gonna be great when it’s done .

[@chuckgmanleyphotos7197]

Its good to see friends helping friends tradition continuing as it does across the country. That’s what makes this build different than all the others. I have many found memories on this front!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

So true! An important part of this hobby is helping friends get their projects on the road!

[@hdvette64]

That was a pile of tin sitting on a barn floor! Talk about making something from nothing. Nice work

Morning Mike, your Cabriolet is coming along... Be safe...God Bless!!

[@desmondcooper3590]

Mike the metal man!!! Good job sir.

[@chuckb9867]

Nice job Mike I wish moon was helping you too could you give a super close up of the patch panels and how they were welded on so we could see the beads I know Bondo can repair quite a bit but just nice to see how it came out real close thanks for the great video glad to see this car coming along

[@672egalaxie6]

Let's make this thing a roller! Such a kool kab!

[@Paleoman52]

Great job Mike! The Crapiolet is coming along really nicely. I love watching you and Matt doing Fab work!

[@danielhopfinger8193]

I really enjoy watching the process to save what most people would have trashed, my calendar came in good job picking the pictures Moon got some good shots.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for the purchase!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Mike and Matt for sharing this adventure with me ! I love the way you guys mend the vehicles instead completely redoing them ! By mending you keep the vehicles alive the way they were at one time !

[@paulbiondi1323]

I enjoy watching craftsmen doing wonderful things with these classic old cars....thank you!

[@73technite]

Keep up the good work Mike, you will have a rare and desirable Early Ford V8 when you are done.

[@73technite]

@Irontrapgarage1 @73technite Keep up the good work Mike, you will have a rare and desirable Early Ford V8 when you are done. I have a 30 Cabriolet, glad you brought this one back. Ron Russo

Its taking shape and gettin better every video👍👍👍👍👍. Keep up the teamwork and it be there for a summertime cruise

[@rolandtb3]

Liking the sweater and front closeups, Mike. You are learning some tricks from Matt. PADT - paper aided design template. Rear quarter panel and b-pillar shaping up nicely. Keep the upbeat music.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you! Just takes a lot of time and determination!

[@richardsiddon610]

Really starting to look great now Mike. Good work guys!🙂

[@Ecosse57]

it's really cool to see a couple of buddies working on a hot rod. ha! 10:48 i see moon's tail in action!

[@dalemagners7886]

Looking good, can't wait to see it on the ground

[@fastback1245]

Looks good Mike that car is going to be awesome when you get done

[@AC-gj4ze]

Yup, still looking 👍🏽 great job

[@davidpark9727]

Keep it up, another quarter looking good, when you finish, it's ready for the next 90 years /!

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Looking like a car again, rather than a wreck, Mike! Betting your child will be mighty.excited to see dad's hot rod on the road! We are heroes to our children until the pre-teen years when we become frenemies for a decade, or so. Bask in it for now. (Once they achieve adulthood, dad is once again in a place of honor!)

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Great video showing the Iron Trap way of helping each other and still talking crap! "I am glad I came up with this way to do this." I am Glad I remembered it going like this" You are both great at what you do and glad to see the car getting more solid!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Haha yep gotta keep it fun and just chops!

[@shotsrodder]

Looking good guys 👍 nice job 😎

[@mafcawebmaster4237]

THis is going to be a nice ride when you're done! And you can look back at all the hard work you put into it with pride! Dream on!

Really nice to see you and Matt banging out body work on the Crapoliette. Won't be long till you get to focus on the running gear. Then on to interior work and paint job. Finally driving it around town. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Kate, Mike, Matt and Steve. May 2023 be an even more prosperous year fot the crew at Iron Trap Garage.

[@AM-sp1my]

Nice, It’s getting their looking too see it once done with all being fixed.😮😮😊

[@knutbkristiansen]

Awesome work on crapiolet

[@danielkeel9265]

Looking good Mike! Kinda reminds me of the free-T in making something from almost nothing! It's coming together! Great teamwork from you guys as usual!

[@TrashcanGarage]

Dig that old school sheet metal cutter. I like seeing old US made tools still being used. Nice work guys. 🤘 Edit: I'm in the process of wiring up my 57 Catalina here. Dash is done. Working rearward before moving into engine bay. This old electronics nerd enjoys that part of the job.

[@henrygraf7860]

Glad to see healthy sized patches being used instead of very small patches to cover just rust hole by a Halfass person.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for explaining what you was doing with the hammer ! I also like you playing music while you're welding as it fills in the dead audio spots !

[@kalinagoedge2777]

Nice work!

[@rayk9315]

Hey Mike the 34 is coming along nicely. Now Steve needs to get a car.

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

Mike Your Hot Rod has come along way, from a pile of panels to a actual car. I'm sure with Matt and Steve's help you can hopefully make your goal for a Summer .drive. Mike what engine will you use ?

[@IronTrapGarage]

He has a 37 ford Flathead at his house he’s been tinkering on.

[@jimcosgrove292]

Job well done. Watching from Seguin Texas

[@JONMEREDITH]

Man! Yet another great video with fantastic fabrication and welding! Thanks guys, that was steller!

Coming along nicely Mike. Enjoying the videos.

Your making progress!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it a roller!!!!!! Love the video's. Always look forward to seeing them!!

[@thomasst.martin3308]

You guys should get heroes pay for bringing this crappy body back to life. I don't know what your long term vision is for this cabriolet, but I have seen some that had a 2" windshield chop that look so cool. I am not sure how well that works for a taller guy, but it looks really nice. Good work . I am impressed.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yep I’m requiring a small chop and lean the posts back! -Matt

[@thomasst.martin3308]

Hey Mike, coming along great, enjoyed the video...Ralph

[@SingleStacked]

Coming along!...If you let Matt do all the welding how will you learn?...😉

[@IronTrapGarage]

Trading skills. Just like he wired the new shop and I let him do his thing. Rather it be done right the first time then do it twice or it being done wrong.

[@matthewfocke5360]

Thumbs up gentlemen.

[@CapnBubbaa]

Taking shape... I step at a time!!! Full Fendered & Hood???

[@GMGarage2010]

Great stuff Mike. Good to see progress on your ride moving along! But you want Steve to do the wiring? Aren't you an electrician? 😋

[@stephenglines1553]

Outstanding

The car is starting to look like a car nice work

[@jonpeters2700]

looking good.

[@fuziface]

Back when I was a kid ,( early 50's ) , my Dad had a 36 Cabriolet , with a rubble seat , the thing I remember most about it , he Zola -Toned the inside of the car. I guess that was the hot thing to do . Have you ever found a Zola-toned car ?

[@tooltas]

Nice dark blue

[@MF-rn5os]

Mike your car is coming along. Before you know it you’ll be driving it.

[@BuchananASales]

COOL CAR THANKS FOR SHARING

[@motorfreaknew]

Looks great! 👍👍👌👌

[@IEchuckie]

I thought you would do some bead rolling on the inner fender.

[@IronTrapGarage]

It’s a match to how it was from the factory.

[@plumbcrazy375]

Looking forward to seeing you finish I noticed he likes to tig over mig wondering why not being a smart ass when I was a kid we had to braise to repair that should tell you how old I am

[@IronTrapGarage]

Tig is cleaner and better for sheet metal. Mig welding has its place but not ideal for sheet metal.

[@brettmiller9609]

I know that the metal is thick enough to not need it, but don't you usually beadroll your wheel wells? I swear that I've seen you do it and was curious as to why the variation

[@IronTrapGarage]

Mike matched how it was from the factory. On some projects I do bead roll the wheel wells.

[@dennisschickling2249]

Nice Video. Glad that you are getting some work done. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@snoopu2601]

Pretty daring not wearing leather gloves and safety glasses when cutting sheet metal, not trying to be a safety monitor just don't want you to get a bad cut on your hands or a chunk of metal in your eye's. Just when I was teaching welding Safety was number one because if any student would have got hurt and the administration would have heard about it. The class would have got shut down. All the welding classes did eventually got shut down in all the community collages in California bay area but I got it to last as long as I could. Got to meet many people in the industry's when I was working for the welding courses in the community collages in California.

[@dennishedrick5108]

I sure hope your planning on more than perfectly shitty on such a rare car

[@roberthaynes8467]

You must have really wanted this car OR it was really cheap. Tons of metal fabrication. With more money than time, could you get a better starter car? Not being sharky here please - just asking.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Mike had a budget and wanted a 34 ford. This is what he could afford and luckily he has a friend that can help get it back in shape. It’s also good to show on our channel what can be saved. If all we did was build bolt together fiberglass street rods it would get pretty boring!

[@roberthaynes8467]

@@IronTrapGarage Thank you. I do enjoy watching the work and repairs.

[@raylarkin5004]

Great work and content for the channel Mike! And as always, thank you Matt for the platform that makes all this great stuff possible!👍🏼

IDK, starting to look like a cabriolet.
