I cannot wait to see the Ruined Roadster actually being driven. That blatty flatty was just what it needed.

[@195048]

How can you not love the sound of an open exhaust flathead Ford firing up.

[@brucegarrow1747]

Classy swap that is true to the hot rodding heritage of 32 Fords

[@allensmith9012]

Everything you have done so far has only added value to the car, a vintage 32 traditional hot rod roadster brings big bucks. Love it.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks Allen!

[@wayneforbes7671]

Another gem from the boys at Iron Trap. Well done guys!

[@Awsom47Merc]

Young Ryan is pretty lucky to have a job in a classic traditional hot rod shop. God were we ever that young ? Anyway roadster is coming along nicely. Sounds fantastic. Cheers guys . 👊😎👍

[@IronTrapGarage]

He’s pretty green, not sure how much he realizes how cool what we’re doing is!

[@Awsom47Merc]

@@IronTrapGarage I kinda noticed that in his face. We can hope. We won't live forever and someone needs to carry the hobby on. Later Matt 😇

[@georgeparker7409]

Hi again. Seeing you guys wield that old chain falls reminds me of a "part time job I had back in the late 1950's. " My best friend and I were hooked up with SEARS installing their rebuilt flathead engines. We had an old chain fall, three 20 ft (aprox) saplings chained together at the top, and dragged them behind my 1939 sedan of my 1940 ($25.00 purchase) coupe. I would remove hood, as well as all hookups on the top. He at about 125 lbs could slide under the car, unhook exhaust etc. and we could pull/switch engines. For this we got $25.00 from the SEARS store. That went a lot longer than now! Great episode as always.

[@terrykeithley6183]

Mint mint mint, totally knocked out of the park. Steve is totally a scyco. 😊😊😊😊😂😂😂

[@Dave_Boyer]

Looks way cooler, with that flathead between the frame rails!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

It does!

[@andrewslagle1974]

That car looks killer ! I would love to build one like that some day!

[@1954shadow]

From ruined to radical, wink, wink.

[@pluckasprojects2299]

What a fantastic outcome. Brilliant work guys!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thank you kindly!

[@frankjones4094]

Damn hot rodders!

[@hankhessig6586]

I stand corrected, first ten comments ... to the haters .... 😎 a v8 over 4 banger is a no Brainer

[@PepeofCalif]

Gotta be one of the best original Deuces in the country ~ Y'all look like you're in the Edelbrock shop 1946 Style - pretty sure you Boys can take a few Still Shots from this one for a couple Vintage Iron Trap Posters

[@IEchuckie]

And this one is shiney. Looks great

[@mikecresho6546]

Just like old school hotrodders would do !!!!

[@DooDeeDew]

Those flathead engines, just really compliment those old iron cars, great job.

[@Claes_Isacson]

You should put a rolls emblem on it! RR (Ruined Roadster). 😂

[@nickmeoli6903]

These are the types of videos I like. Keep up the great work!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks! Will do!

[@marydickson5871]

There is a certain kind of thrill when you fire up a fresh engine in a car, love it! That one shot of the car behind the engine. I thought: "that car is crying for that engine". Great work, thank you Steve Oh, and you too Matt.

[@robertszymanski7804]

1st Commandment of Hot Rodding, remove the stock engine and install a Hopped up V8 to part the Red Sea. Nicely done ❤

[@robertwells1650]

Engine looks and sounds real sweet in the ruined roaster!ooking forward to seeing it's first drive. Cheers

[@bradeastham5494]

It’s exactly what I would do! Can’t wait to see it on the maiden voyage!

[@patmccarthy5069]

The only thing that is ruined is not having that sweet hot rod in my garage. Looking forward to the test ride and opening up the duel carbs on the road!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks Pat!

[@matthewschneider2089]

Dude!!! Looks Great!!! Nice job!!✌️

[@dougs1692]

NOW it’s a hotrod!

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Engine is perfect in that car. I like it.

[@bengone3349]

Well done and I like it. Very classic sound even without a full exhaust. Keep it up!

[@jackfischbach2560]

I love flathead V8's. Roadsters and 32/34 Fords in general...super cool cars....👌👍💪💪

[@erniehoffer1784]

Great video. All smiles. Only four non-runners in the garage.

[@jimsmirh2406]

Love it. The flathead is what makes it Matt!!

[@bluerazor7049]

You took the old man and rejuvenated him back into a teen by hot-rodding the roadster. It's coming really well so far, it's an eye catcher for sure!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Matt and Steve for the update on the Ruined Roadster !

[@stuli6007]

Although my project isn't a rod your videos always give me itchy feet to finish it!

[@nedharrisjr2991]

Great engine change Matt.

[@douglash3129]

Now that engine looks badass man!

[@user-lw7mw1cj5k]

One very neat roadster. It sounds wonderful. The sound reminds me of my flathead V8 60 roadster from High School. I wish I still had that car. Flatheads just have that sound that is unique.

[@Mopar46]

And; that's another one "saved from a restorer". Good work, fellas; waiting to see this one on the road.

[@xozindustries7451]

It’s surprising how quiet those motors are even open headers

[@richs7362]

Lookin good! Steve is one agreeable guy.

[@1936fordcrazy]

Looks perfect and sounds great!

[@GwynnOak1]

That is such a sweet looking roadster! But it's SO ruined that you should just pass it along to me. lol

[@murdoc6501]

That there is the definition of HOT ROD! Love that flathead lope and rumble! This car is the stuff of my dreams! Go Iron Trap, keep moving forward!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@TrashcanGarage]

I thought that since I can't work in my shop (caring for spouse who has respiratory failure) I'd just watch you guys instead, but now I'm getting homesick for all the stuff I want to be doing at the garage. 😂

[@icantdrive5593]

Great video! Love the car!

[@jamiecampbell3068]

You have ruined that flathead. It belongs in a Corvette. 👀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 On a serious note. I love seeing you get something out to be enjoyed. That flathead will allow many smiles on any road. THANK YOU always for posting !!

[@donhoughton271]

The flathead sounded great 😊

[@user-fd3io2tx8h]

I love how the flathead looks!

[@richardwirt3193]

I like it

[@chrisburzenski2317]

Love the Sunday vids! Thanks!

[@barryhickman6911]

I'm FAST falling in love with this one Matt! Looks great and sounds even better!!! Love your work!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks so much!!

Great work Matt and Steve ,lookin sharp. Flat head rules .

Awesome!

You are building a dream car of mine

[@eddiereeher7594]

good show😎👍

[@user-hm4oy7hw4t]

A+ LUV IT ! NORTHERN WISCONSIN HELLO >>>>>>>>>>>

[@stephencudaback4548]

Love it you need it there little soup up he he from Steve c from the state of Oregon USA

[@larryreece1403]

Heat and Bash The header pipe! It won't hurt performance, and its easier and quicker. (My 2 cents)

[@GreggGonzalez-ei1gu]

Awesome 👍

[@donames6941]

Did you have to twist Steve arm to get him to work on this car? i see a brace on his lift wrist

[@randomyank7777]

Looks like you "ruined" it perfectly ! Lol . Poor Steve , leaning down to check the gauges when it started & ran , & Matt hitting the throttle . Vroom , vroom , cough , cough , cough . Lmao ! Ah the smell of V8 , with open headers . Kind of brings a tear to the eye , eh ? Might be the fumes too . More spare parts , but the modifications were not so drastic on this car . Nice example of how it was done , back in the day .

[@georgepavich8266]

I'm doing my 48 chevy the same way I'm putting improvements on it 56 on back making it like something a kid would have in the mid 50s

[@garysoykin2783]

That looks awfully pretty Matt are you going to like that or are you going to throw some grease at it or something just kidding you man looks awesome

[@tonyaxeman4381]

Was it from the frame up rebuild ? Looking nice ! Like the color .

[@randysinger2673]

Sell all the 4 cyl parts to the Haters, then they can build a stock 32 of their own.

[@IronTrapGarage]

That’s what we’ve been doing! Recycling the parts!

[@danielbuckner2167]

They do, those parts help keep other As on the road

[@randymusselman8754]

Sweet

[@chuckb9867]

This car is definitely ruined now.I must take out the trash❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dennisschickling2249]

Nice Work. Sounds Great. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@michaelledingham9682]

Matt, is that just ford green or is that not an original color? Another beautiful car

[@IronTrapGarage]

If you mean the engine. It is a darker green. “Rock Moss” green.

[@michaelledingham9682]

Sorry, i was meaning the roadster.

[@Nathan-mw8bv]

Ruined? I hardly think so. If the car is ruined, then my 32 ford truck is trash. But you won't say that to my face.

[@genemounce8302]

Easy big'n... thats the title of the last video, lol. 😂 mornin everyone!

[@Nathan-mw8bv]

@genemounce8302 I've had people say it was better old school or that i have a Frankenstein. The way I see it, it's a mix of original parts, matched with new or different hot rod upgrades. I have a 32 with a mustang II front end with a 9 inch in the rear. 350 with 700 r. If you seen it, I don't think you'd say it. Have a good cup of joe friend.

[@bluerazor7049]

​@@Nathan-mw8bvif anything you made the car handle better as well as have a better ride quality by putting a Mustang II front end.

[@Nathan-mw8bv]

@bluerazor7049 yes sir, I doesn't drive like any 32. Thanks for your comment

[@87mini]

Nice work, Matt & Company! Is your finger control on your TIG gun just on-off, or does it have multiple positions?

[@IronTrapGarage]

Just on off

[@danontherun5685]

Are you cranking that with a 12V?

[@AdamFedeli]

Great swap, that motor sounds sweet. What's the plan for brakes ? Just curious since the 8 has a lot more power.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Eventually juice brakes.

[@tfb7080]

Not sure what rad you're using but you're probably gonna want to get a smaller belt. That alternator sitting pretty high in the slot and when you mount the fan it will be close to the top tank.

[@IronTrapGarage]

We have a stock of belts. Easy correction.

[@tedboch7753]

@@IronTrapGarage I love the genny look too, especially on the early 21 stud with a fan mounted but there's a reason PowerGen didn't come out with that setup for several years. I think the bracket still has mounting issues. I finally relented and went with a black painted ac Delco alternator and speedway pulley, but with a shop made bracket which is stronger than ones available.

[@sergueiothonucci1638]

😃😃😃

[@mikesonneson2824]

What are your future plans about body color? I seem to recall you mentioned at some point not being too crazy about the color choice.

[@IronTrapGarage]

It’s staying this color.

[@user-cn8dn6nr6u]

Looks awesome, however it needs more ruining with a drop axle.

[@IronTrapGarage]

One step at a time.

[@jimstratfordfl]

Ruined…beautifully!

[@hankhessig6586]

Made it.... 1st ten views

[@jayh9635]

Hey guys. I have a bone stock 1936 Chevy sedan with the 206.8 inline 6! She runs and drives perfectly! But I would like to bump up the power while still keeping the same drive line and 3 speed. Do you guys have any suggestions?

[@danielbuckner2167]

Skip ahead a couple generations to a non-babbit engine and add a turbo to it. Power when you need it but mileage when you dont and all in a Chevy 6 so you know it fits.

[@RutherfordRyan1]

Matt, won’t the exhaust heat the steering box out ….?

[@IronTrapGarage]

It will add some heat to the box but won’t hurt anything. All Flathead v8 early fords with side steer have this clearance issue
