Reversed Chrome Wheels and Cheater Slicks - 1932 Ford 5 Window Coupe

[@jamiecampbell3068]

HA !!! " Professional" tire guys don't know sh*t until they've put a tire on with sledgehammers & pry bars. Traditional !! I'll never tire of commenting on all your cool adventures. I'm glad you share 'em .. & don't sweat the comments. Thank you.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yea I’m not too bothered about putting myself out there. Anyone that acts like they know it all or don’t struggle with shit are just lying to themselves! I’m having fun and that’s all that matters to me!

[@charlesherrick7400]

Looks great. What ever you do...don't even think of chopping the top.

[@IronTrapGarage]

We would never!

[@stevewilliams587]

Too much work

[@Ratridez]

I agree , the chopped tops are so worn out and getting to be ridiculous looking .

[@downtownbobbybrown6237]

bad enough it s channeled .

[@davidjenkins1958]

Matt, as a 62 year old man, I say thank you for taking me back in the day. I’m glad there are younger guys like you that love the rings we did back in the 70’s and earlier.

[@JazzStrat781]

Need to tell u how much I love your channel. Going through an illness right now where I can't work on a project or really afford one either. Watching your videos make me feel like I'm part of the old car and hot rod family until I can jump in myself again. Thanks so much, just wanted to share that. Have loved old cars since I was a kid, that's a sickness I hope to never recover from.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Hope you get better and can get back into the garage. Thanks for watching!!

[@scottpella7419]

When I bought my Euro tire machine, it was a complete re-learning experience after using an old Bear machine for so many years. No way would I have filmed myself doing it! Made me laugh my ass off...cause I fought with mine just like you did! Great vid!

[@mikeypl1957]

Sitting there with the right wheels / tires it provides a whole lot of inspiration. Good enough reason to change them up.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yep I figure it’s gotta sit and look right while it waits it’s turn!

[@davelowell3008]

Love the chrome reverse especially with baby moons, my favorite back in the 60's were black steel wheels with SS trim rings and chrome lugs and center caps.

[@WiredCustomsSpeedShop]

Same here, super traditional hotrod, my favs! Lol

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

Great video Matt, It's Got the Look! Dam I love that car. Good luck with the new Hot Rod. Hope you, Kate and the team stay healthy

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching

[@JazzStrat781]

Love those wheels and tires! Good for u man in getting this 32 Ford! Best to u and yours!

[@daviddickerson9846]

You are so lucky that car looks amazing. The old timers got the look just right and the weather got the patina just right .im so envious of you right now

[@oldgoat1890]

"Chrome reverse" caught my eye. We were eating lunch where I work and it came up. The younger guys asked what that was. Some of us realized we were driving before mags came out. Seems like ages ago. Not a car guy anymore, but it is fun to look back once and a while.

[@sethcarley1446]

HEY MATT,,,SUCH A GREAT IDEA CHANGING THE TIRES AND WHEELS ON THE 32 COUPE NOW AS THE CAMERA GOES AROUND YOUR SHOP ,,, THATS MORE EYE CANDY , KINDA MAKES IT PART OF THE FAMILY ... GREAT JOB WITH WHAT YOUR DOING FOR ANDREW ,,SEEMS LIKE A REALLY NICE KID .. GOOD GOIN..SETH ,, TRUMBULL CT

Sitting home couped up..this channel has made my morning.. thanks guys👍

[@IronTrapGarage]

Glad we can help with some entertainment!

[@SuperKONR]

Thought that was funny when you remembered the wheel has to be backwards, I've been on that adventure several times. XD Awesome car and wheel setup! Thanks for brightening my day guys.

[@michaelguinn5736]

Matt & Co. another great video, I like chrome reverse wheels, I remember back in the day cleaning up mine with a SOS pad, when you were mounting your slicks did you forget the baby powder on the tubes? Today it is a must, I know where there used to be one of those J2 Olds motors...thinking about giving the guy a call... Build on Dudes

[@IronTrapGarage]

We did not use baby powder, we will remember that for next time!

[@jacquikowalewsky7691]

I like the car and glad you are going to stay with an Olds motor- just love those older performance engines.

[@Statimtek]

New wheels and tires look great, what a difference. It looks like it is ready to hit the streets.

[@IronTrapGarage]

We can’t wait to take the first drive!

[@ronnyinwaxhaw]

I knew from the thumbnail that this was going to be good! Chrome reverse, man does that bring back memories!

[@rustyrods8535]

I like that you are headed the way the last owner was going , I’d take it back to when he bought it ..what it looked like in the photo . Keep the Rusty mags ...lucky guy you are ..👍👍

[@rodder2046]

I totally agree with those who are saying don't chop the top. But please do put a visor above the windshield. I have always thought that visors look badazz on an early Ford. Thanks for making these videos and sharing them with us !!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks we aren't going to chop this one. I disagree though on the visor comment on a 32 Ford. Works on a Model A or Model T.. but 32 and later I think is good with no visor personally. Thanks for watching!

[@50shadesofrust65]

Dude! Column shift was the bomb in the early days of rodding so you could get your squirl close.

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Carl Sabatka i knew a guy back in the 80s that had a 32 5 window with a 40 dash and column with the shifter flipped to the left and adapted to a 4 speed . When I asked him why he said it was so you could shift without taking your arm from around your girl

[@MrPanzerblitz]

My first car (in 1962) was a '51 chevy coupe. The first thing I did to it was remove the column shift and put in a floor shift. Why? Because when I shifted into third it was perfect to rest my hand on my girls knee!

[@BoxcarsGarage]

Looks like motivation to me! Can't wait for the project start!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Us too! Just in the parts gathering mode now!

[@JSxxxxxxx]

At this stage of the CoVid game - I'd be happy watching you guys mow the lawn! Stay safe and thanks for the videos...

[@IronTrapGarage]

Be careful what you wish for. We may have a weekly lawn care update!!!

[@joek1960]

Maybe Matt's lawn mower ha patina and wide whites. Then it would be worth watching him lower the grass.

[@daviddickerson9846]

Dude your smile is so big though the whole video. If that was my car you couldn't get me to stop smiling. You lucky so-n-so

[@IronTrapGarage]

Haha smile every time I walk into the shop!

[@MartsGarage]

Achieving just the right level of crappiness is where it's at, Matt. Personally (as you axed) I'd go a touch higher in the back and lose the hubcaps. Love this 32. mart.

[@ls6-ss413]

Absolutely. A little too low in the back. And those wheels look tough with no caps.👊

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for the input guys! I like the back being low and might just lower the front a smidge when the time comes!

[@stude1953]

AWESOME MATT! Those tires, wheels, and caps make it!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

I thought so!

[@chrismiller7221]

Those wheels look killer on there. Can’t wait to see it running.

[@IronTrapGarage]

It’s gonna be a fun car to get back on the road!!!

[@dennisc.1189]

Hey, the person that lost that rag in the tire, probably look for it a long time and he said I know I just had it where is it. The stance looks great!

[@IronTrapGarage]

It’s like trying to find the socket you just had!!!

[@onehotpinto]

Wheels and tires fit the car perfect. If it were my car (I know, you hear that all the time) I believe I would take the spirit of the original build and refine it. You know, use the square roll bar but make sure the welds and design are clean. Same with the rear suspension. Run the same arms but redo the mounting and such. I'm not a big fan of the "Rusty/Patina" look and would probably paint it but more in the backyard garage style. Single stage paint, smooth but not perfect body work. A clean car but not pristine. But then it is your car and not mine. As long as you enjoy the end product is what really matters. I am looking forward to the build.

[@TrueNorthModels]

The newish shoes set the look off perfect, looking great. Cheers

[@robertszymanski7804]

Another awesome video! Although you should have bottled the vintage air, it was a good year and very difficult to find, lol I read a Hot Rod article back in the 80's that's the best thing you can do is put new tires and rims on a vehicle to make it look better and worth more. Very nice choice, have a good day

[@IronTrapGarage]

It’s similar to when I put clean clothes on and get a haircut. I look a lot less like a POS and more like a normal human being! Haha

[@davidfrye271]

Love the look of the old chrome an cheater slicks. To me half the fun of building a hot rod is standing around and looking at it. Especially when you change something like the wheels or the stance.

[@TrendsbySterling]

Looks a whole lot better Matt!

[@TexTheMaster]

Cool didnt know that about beadlocking back in the day. Sweet vid guys

[@frankjamann5671]

Great job Matt,alot of hard work, but it's hard to find a 32 ford that looks bad. Thanks for the video

[@HansensSpeedShop]

Wheels and tires look awesome also I think the car looks tougher with out the hub caps

[@es7614]

Perfecto. Love changing out rubber.

[@RemodNC]

Wheels and tires are Perfect!

[@jamiecampbell3068]

Wow. Did you say it's currently a column shift ??? Highly unusual mod' back then. By all means film those specifics whenever you ditch it, or muck around under or in it again, please. Too cool. Thanks guys. Take care !

[@jamiewaddell1598]

It sits perfect matt so cool .

[@waynespiteri122]

Those slicks look rad! Nice touch.

Those slicks and rims looks really sick! You’re so lucky to find a 32, even with all the crustyness! Lol

Wheels and tires can make such a difference

[@beealzebub4338]

I know you guys were joking but rust is NOT patina. Rust is rust. Clean those wheels. It will still be period worn to match the car. Thanks for the videos. I'm stuck at home like the rest of the world and your videos help break the monotony. I'm pipe dreaming too.

Hi Matt I think you just managed to make the SnapOn tyre changer look like a good deal .😁

[@Callsign_Fredrick877]

I love the shitina you got going on

[@Callsign_Fredrick877]

Shitina is good but rather than leave it all as it is would be cool if you restore the front since those front wheels are so nice looking and make it fade to the rear to perfect shitina

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

I *love* those cheater slicks 😍 such a nice look 👍

[@IronTrapGarage]

Agreed! At least it looks cool sitting there waiting it’s turn in the shop!

CLR and scotch bright on your 32 coupe. Check it out on hamb! It'll remove the rust stains from your paint. Work wonders on your chrome too!

[@IronTrapGarage]

I was trying to figure out a way to take some of the black primer off the car and bring that beautiful yellowish green back on the car. I’ve hear that or steel wool and clr! Just afraid it might take the green off too! I definitely want to try it when we dig into the car.

[@oldtin5059]

Yeah, I guess a fine steel wool would be less aggressive than a scotch bright pad. The results I've seen are impressive.

In my younger days I would NEVER had said this. Looks great "except" the whitewall needs to be turned in so it's blackwall on both ends facing out. LOVE those hubcaps !!! I would HAVE TO open up that Olds motor to be sure it couldn't be saved before sending it away. FWIW That way I could compare money to save the J2 with money to replace with a ordinary "Rocket".;o)

They all had part time jobs at Car garages that fixed cars . I remember them saying some Flathead parts off Mercury car or Trucks were better for making the cars hotter ,you would probably know that stuff.

[@mumbles2000]

it needs a little more rake, rear ride height is good, 1.5 - 2" out of the front?

[@pkerit308]

1 1/2 inches up in the rear so that the tire fits properly with the bead on the quarterpanel.

[@qwiked]

Good decision sticking with Olds pwr...couldn’t you tear down the J2 and give it a “ball hone” ring job, check the crank and if ok new rod and main bearings?

[@IronTrapGarage]

That’s not a bad idea but only if the cylinders aren’t all pitted.. which I bet they are since the engine was open to the elements all these years and got water in them.
