I dont care for fender skirts, and prefer the open wheel look, but I have to say that your fender skirt treatment really gives this 38 a retro rod look. It's very effective and adds a lot to the look you're looking for. Nice job making the new floorboards. They look good and solid. Really fun to see the engine fire up.

The skirts with tapered upward sloping edge looks great. Would be neat if similar profile added to front fenders. The wind steering wheel is a step up. Drives forward and backward. Well done Steve on the pedals' mount, brackets, cables and toe boards. Progressing nicely.

Now there is a term I haven't heard in a long time! The skirts and return -to- stock headlights really will help with the post-war, early custom theme. Although the after-market seal beam lights promoted improved lighting for dark, back country roads, they were fugly at best! Funny how our tastes change w/ time and age. The later Merc. wheel would have been a popular choice back in the day, (and a Grant wheel in the '60s), but I think the '38-39 banjo wheel is hard to beat today....

Yeah, you know as a youngster following these hot rods this was a common swap known as a "Fordillac" and I completely forgot about that until this car build came along. Of course, you can be sure when the engine is cranked over because there is the missing of the distinct Ford starter sound that there is another engine in place of the original flathead.

Those skirts really change the look up . Nice to see all of that hard work paying off in an easy start up , & the car moving under it's own power . Steve has proven himself to be a real asset to the Iron Trap Garage . I love the sound of that old Caddy engine , she has some snot to her . This one is going to be a great first drive car . I can't tell for sure , but I think this car loves you guys more for the way you put it back to the original way it would have been most happy , as an American hot rod . Some brakes , cooling system , & generator , this car is going to be a solid runner . Dual exhaust to breathe the engine , & she aught to be quite the cruiser . I'm really loving this 38 convertible ! Rock on , ITG ! Great work , Matt , Mike , Steve , & Moon Dog !

@user-bf5us7qd7g 6 месяцев назад
The skirts look great, I would agree about the detail up front behind the front tire on the fender to carry the look through the car. When you get around to finishing the car up, pay attention to the head light buckets, behind the lens. With the current paint, it kills the look of the lenses. They need either color match or chrome paint behind them. The lenses don't quite look right at this time.

Nice job guys looks great. Two things: one I appreciate you utilizing "classic" steering wheels! I absolutely hate when someone makes a cool hot rod then put on these Fing ugly modern "custom" steering wheels. I love the vintage look of the dash and interior and prefer that style. Second as an owner of a classic sailboat I'd recommend that you coat those floorboards (especially the edges) with West Marine epoxy. Doing so will prevent water being drawn into the wood which will eventually cause the ply to separate.

What I like about your channel is that you show people how they can fix up one of these cars and have a reliable vehicle that looks period correct and of course this car being modified with an overhead valve engine which would be about normal for the time period of post WWII. In today's times we see what is called a "restomod" which is not really new as this car would be considered that to an extent. One thing that we see here in the addition of the Speedway accelerator setup is that this stuff was not available back when young men were modifying their cars, but this stuff has been made available in today's market because of people seeing this need and responding accordingly. So we have the best of both worlds here and I talk with some people who bash the thinking of today where you get everything from suppliers and just assemble the car, versus those who believe that one should fabricate everything. There is a compromise of course and you have shown that it is sometimes advantageous to drop back and punt and source some things in the interest of time and money. Look forward to this build and watch every segment as you post it. Going to be an awesome build and I do believe you will keep this one for a while, at least until you are financially motivated to part with it.

I have had this heap for 44 years!! Cool old truck , 350/300 horse from a ‘70 Monte Carlo !!!!

The "banjo" is a good looking wheel, but it's sooo overdone. Besides upgrading to a newer wheel is what was done back then. I have 1 suggestion....that air cleaner is nice....sell it and replace it with a proper Stellings Hellings chrome air cleaner...it's what we would have done. 😊
