The Schroll 1932 Ford Coupe Did Not Want To Be Taken Apart!!

Winter is coming soon and we need to get ourselves set up to get some major projects completed. The Schroll 32 Coupe has been waiting its turn for a while and it's next on the chopping block. The first step is to blow the car into 100 pieces and start the process of rebuilding. Larry had started installing an Oldsmobile Rocket J2 engine at some point in the 60 years of ownership, but thankfully never got around to build any mounts. The engine is just sitting in the car and takes no effort to remove. Before removing the body Matt and Mike take some time to install bracing to help fixture the body and keep it rigid. The doors on the 32 shut beautifully and do not sag, but the door gap on both sides is not equal. While installing the bracing Matt uses a ratchet to pull the body together and holds it in place with the bracing. After everything getting braced and the engine sliding out so smooth, of course the body puts up one hell of a fight!

And.... no busted knuckles. Good work, men! Nice to see the real, dirty work that goes into this type of "restoration," as opposed to the sanitized stuff you see on the "reality" cable shows

[@IronTrapGarage]

100% we want to show the good, bad, fun, and tedious parts of this hobby!

[@NoMatureContent]

Also this channel captures the "I better do this pretty fast so my janky ass shit doesn't get me killed" side to car building that many others don't. The "oh god" when the ratchet strap slipped a touch echoed in my soul.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Haha we keep it real!

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Love this car and the crudeness of the way things were done. I used to race stock cars and I call it “ Yep that’ll work engineering” lol

[@davidvansickle563]

You guys ROCK, it’s no wonder that your channel is the BEST. Who doesn’t like variety in their life? This is what separates you from the rest. I’m gonna love watching this build

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you!!

[@scottmartin508]

As much as I like the picking and swap episodes, it is nice to see you back in project mode! Like the time lapse sections that show how much work goes into some of the jobs, not as simple as it seems!

[@iamrichrocker]

Matt..could you please inform Mr.Delorean that many of us would like to hear more stories..was fascinating to hear him recollect the past, ( 12/12 show), with your car, but mostly i would like to hear the stories about Woodward and the cars..and the times..part of the greatest generation flexing their spirit after a trying war era..your channel has grown in many ways..and this is one great example..stay safe and healthy..

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks! We’ll try and do more if we can!

[@mikeslattery8715]

It's just way cool ,too see guys living their dream! I, did this kind of work at A, very young age. About, 13 years old And friends were older 17 year old , got along with more mature . They liked me for my knowledge of machine shop, Tools Micrometer dial indicator & machine shop Starrett , Presicion Machine shop Level's. We got along Well. Life long friends . Cars were cheap We would go to a local scrap yard full Of what we dreamed about! It is very Cool to see these guys work on these True too Life Hot Rods!

[@mvtroiano]

A friend turned me on to you guys. I am a former SR-71 and U-2 spy plane fuel system mechanic, and I love seeing things taken apart. Plus you can't beat hotrods :)

[@MyKARSShop]

I always enjoy the show. I always learn something, even though I’ve been building cars for 40 years. Mad fab skills matt. Great job on production mike.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks that means a lot coming from a veteran!

Thanks for watching!

[@chuckster6513]

Good Morning Matt & Mike ( Tis Sunday morning here right now. ) Well, another Hot Rod Is taken into the "Reconstructive Ward" ! You guys work well together wether mike is behind the camera or wrenching. That make doing things like this fun and rewarding. Noting the door gap was a good place to start in the process of resetting the body back to factory shape and fit. This will be a nice car when finally put back on the road. Thanx fur bringing us along for the ride. Be safe & Well EVERYBODY

[@kails1941]

Thanks for your great projects and helpful tips. You have motivated me so much that today I'm going to buy a Ford model A (1930) Tudor to build myself a hotrod. Greetings from Germany. Keep up the good work!

Awesome! Congrats on the new project!

Great job on this episode. This is one of the better videos I’ve seen on your channel. I liked seeing everything on the time lapse. I know it’s hard to figure out what to show and what to edit out. Especially when you are watching how long and what is repeated from similar tasks. I really enjoyed the show. Thanks for the fun. 🤠

[@tractordave9300]

Matt truly is a great friend! I have a buddy that is like him for years and we still have a blast and neither ever asks for anything!

[@mikaeljohansson1985]

idea! A turnbuckle in the middle and a vicegrip or c-clamps with teeth on both sides, no welding necessary. The plate on the right side of the frame may have been a battery shelf.

[@JA-sm9zf]

Man another great video and job well done. Working on cool old junk is fun but working on cool old junk with a good friend is even better! You guys are doing awesome. Hats off to you both. Thx a bunch for sharing. -Juan in Virginia

[@gregl1824]

Another awesome video. What I really appreciate about your videos is the safety aspect of it . Mike telling Matt about putting his shield down , I always see guards on grinders, safety glasses and gloves worn. Too many other videos out there where safety takes a back seat. Keep up the good work guys.

[@andykeyes7616]

Great video and you guys know what you are doing and you are not professional mechanics but you have good skills and you are not old timers I admire you guys for what you do

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you that means a lot!

I just noticed the stone walls of the garage...Perfect for the museum quality cars and parts inside.

[@frankjamann5671]

Hey Matt and Mike, nothing like another great 32 ford project. Thanks for the video

[@apexmetalrestoration2805]

Great episode man. Watched the entire 40 minutes. I have a 31 Model A 5 window I picked up recently, sight unseen. Didn’t realize how much of the body and sub frame was destroyed or just gone! But this gets me motivated to work on her.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Luckily all those parts can be bought! Good luck on it!

[@geofo60]

That was a great deal of work to get through in a day guys. Hotrodding has certainly moved on since those days. Finesse definitely wasn’t a part of the build back then. Look forward to seeing the rebuild over the coming months, the Coupe is certainly in safe hands this time 👍👍. Regards from the U.K.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Matt & Mike, this is progress! As always another great video, one thing that always has been a concern of mine is fire....nothing flammable is in our shop, except rags, brake clean, mineral spirits(Lol)...I have fire extinguishers in obvious places...on another note ya'll need another building to store body's etc. Be safe!! God Bless!!!

[@jimmygarner696]

I don't want to copy this car...but I will be watching and getting ideas!

[@IronTrapGarage]

No new ideas! All the original bad ass hot rodders and racers did it all first! We’re just trying to emulate their coolness! Can’t wait to see you get on yours!

[@19garner28]

That's cool getting to see the chassis the the motor mount cross member they had in there for why block came out of a 53 to 56 Ford and so did the transmission mount cross a member or k member same with the rear diff looks cool can't wait to see what you do with it

Reminds me of the 32 5 window I could have bought for $750,00 back in 1981! Car had a horrible channel and my buddy who had a Model A talked me out of it. Regerts, sort of. If I had bought it though, I wouldn't have bought my Willys coupe that had been in storage since 1963 a couple yrs later and I still have the coupe... It all works out!

[@johndonlon1611]

Love you guys and the show. I always learn something. For God's sake, get some decent fire extinguishers (or more of them) especially close to where you are using the torches.

[@IronTrapGarage]

We have some. Fire extinguishers create giant messes and are for when the fire becomes more than just something you can easily put out with a damp rag or water. I don’t want the shop filled and covered from an extinguisher. If you’ve ever used one you know how much of a mess they make.

Are you going to keep the rear axle or go to a banjo type? Are you going to box the frame? What trans is on the engine you took out? I'm intrigued by the many subtle changes Ford made between the Model A and '32 bodies. They look very much alike at first glance but they are completely different. Awesome vid! Thanks!

Keeping the rear. We may box it. Not sure yet. Thanks for watching!

Would weld nuts(or 3/8/in. plates to be drilled and taped) every were inside the frame were they need to be and completely box it in. But thats just me.Its gonna look good either way.

Those aren't friction shocks. They are Ford lever acting Hydraulic shocks and something similar was used from Model A through 1948. My dad bought brand new ones for his 34 Ford coupe race car. I thought the new style tubular shocks like most hot rodders, racers and airplanes used looked lots neater and said "I wish you'd get the tubular kind".
