Nice of Matt to help Kate on HER roadster. Lol. Significant others don't realize how helpful they truly are. What seemed like nothing to them helps the project move forward. Turned out great Matt.

I love watching your fabrication work on this car, great job as always!

@jimandlinsnow7002 3 года назад

Excellent fabrication. Looks great.

@roberthaynes8467 3 года назад

Glad to see Kate lending a hand. A helping hand is always needed even if to just hold this end piece right here, like this.

@patmclean1951 3 года назад

Kate, you crushed it!! Love the wheel well!!

@imouse3246 3 года назад

Everyone has a crush on Kate.

I am constantly amazed at your metal working skill, making doors and patch panels.

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

Thank you!

@Jddvs 3 года назад

Very nice work on a difficult panel. You never could have done it without Kate’s help! 😉

Kate's lung design

@chuckster6513 3 года назад

Hey Matt, Tis always a pleasure to watch you create / work on replacement panels. Of course it was nice to see the lovely Kate in the shop lending a hand as well. Be Safe, Well and Warm

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@daleskidmore1685 3 года назад

Why do I watch you and think I need a bead roller and English wheel? I love watching your panel work.

@danielkeel9265 3 года назад

And a shrinker/stretcher!

Great job on the wheel wells and it was a good thing Kate was around. Cool beans. Cheers.

@henryescat1104 3 года назад

That pannel looks perfect! Kate does great work. Mike gets fired.

@stevenkarnisky411 3 года назад

Excellent work on an excellent design, Matt! You blur the lines between repair, craft and art. Patience, waiting overnight to check your design, is a trait that is always useful.

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

Thanks Steve!

@Red81Camaro 3 года назад

Great job Kate, good thing Matt was there to help,lol. Looks awesome, I'm interested in seeing it done with the inserts.

@munched55 3 года назад

Great job on the wheel wells. Interesting idea of padding the inner areas. It should really pop as you think.

@kurtludwig4783 3 года назад

Upholstering wheel wells, haven’t seen that since the early 60’s. That’s when I started looking at “old cars”

@mr.goodpliers6988 3 года назад

First time I have seen a bead roller without a hand crank. Nice work!

@ajperotti2551 3 года назад

Beside every Hot Rod Guy is his Hot Rod Girl. Nice to see you guys work together. My wife and I have metal worked, assembled, and painted a few vehicles and it is always a blast. Awesome accomplishment on that wheel well. Kate gets bragging rights on that side. LOL😎😁👀👍

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

It is really neat to have her help!

@newagaingospel 3 года назад

You have one special lady there Matt. Not only does she let you live your passion, she even helps you do it. Great couple

@davekimbler8621 3 года назад

I had my wife and grand daughter out in the shop about a month ago to help me bead roll a floor pan for my 26 Ford Coupester. Good to know that even with a motorized bead roller, that you still need help at times.

@JONMEREDITH 3 года назад

Wow! Fantastic fabrication! Awesome welding, too!

@2rueblue 3 года назад

You literally did not blink when you were so fixed on what you were doing, you went full yoda on the panel, it worth your time, it turned out brilliant, well done

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

Haha yep! Ultimate concentration!

@SpatialDragon 3 года назад

Good thing the boss lady showed you how to do that today. :) She is a nice young lady.

@onehotpinto 3 года назад

Whew, lot of nice work. I remember my dad gutting a pristine A coupe body for a stock car. Breaks my heart when I watch all the hard work you have to put in to get these cars to that point. I have a couple pictures of that car I ought to send you. Maybe I'll throw in a pair of gloves for Kate so she has her own.

@danielkeel9265 3 года назад

Great job Matt! Nice to see Kate in the action too. It's awesome to have a helper and morale booster in one and the same person. You keep blowing me away with the panel fabrication. Looking forward to more on Dad's Daily as well as the Schroll, can't wait to see what you do to repair the frame! Keep it up!

@owenshomeremodeling8856 3 года назад

I really enjoy the knowledge you share! Thank you and to all who help you as well, even Mike!

@rickjansen58 3 года назад

I've been waiting to see the Wheel Well episode. In 1965 I bought a 32 Ford 3-W that was channeled. Its been through various stages to present day. Now its time to be Full Fendered and fix the butchered wheel wells. This video has been a great help

@jimmygarner696 3 года назад

I really dig this design...it was cool how you got Kate to help...she will think back on this when she drives it!

@lewisquick8394 3 года назад

Man that panel looks great, Katie is a good helper for sure.

@randywilliams2505 3 года назад

@hotrodmyk 3 года назад

Great looking panel, well done Kate. Good thing you had Matt to help you.

@johnhartley3596 3 года назад

Love the wheel well fabrication. They look great. Not onboard with the upholstery idea however.

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

Not for everybody I know.

@chuckstith838 3 года назад

To me that means you won't be driving it much.

@mattsullivan5274 3 года назад

On my channeled '32 , originally hot rodded in '57 , there are snaps in the wheel well that I can snap in upholstered panels at the shows and remove them when I drive it. And YES I drive the heck out of it. Also , Matt , thanks for the tip on using the larger sanding disc on the smaller shoe for getting in those concave areas. Always learning.

@tomkrisel4493 3 года назад

@@mattsullivan5274 snaps were used in the old days alot for upholstered pieces that were removable. Maybe velcro would do the job, now. He could run it the whole perimeter, not just at spots like snaps. Probably wouldn't have sags and ripples like snaps, also invisible.

@waynespyker5731 3 года назад

@@tomkrisel4493 Velcro would work fine as it tightens from normal vibrations. In the late 90s our company molded a plastic test block for one of the Big Three to mount engine assessories and sensors with velcro attaching to the engine somewhere. 500 units were made for fleet customers with test bob weight of 25 lb, after a year 2 had failed. One from an accident, the other a suspension bending pot hole! Public acceptance failed it's implemention, mounting screws and bolts survived on the assembly line quest to increase output.

@garyhughes9199 3 года назад

That looks great. Every hotrod is going to want one. Heck I want one too !

@kevinkenyon7045 3 года назад

Matt it looks awesome, Kate did a great job. Looks like you’ve got a helper for life. You’re so talented and it’s a joy to watch you work. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@bobgaylord8883 3 года назад

Great design and, as always, superb craftsmanship. Loved the look on Kate's face as you were starting to bead roll - a little nervous that she would mess it up, but she did it perfectly. Seen that look on my wife's face many times.

@frankjamann5671 3 года назад

Hey Matt, wonderful job with a great helper that is showing interest. Keep doing this and it will be like Ford having bodies built by Murray in the 30's. Thanks for the video

@IronTrapGarage 3 года назад

They aren’t that nice! But I’m having fun!

@andykeyes7616 3 года назад

Kate is a very supportive wife and it is kind of her car I heard you say and the work you do is artwork I think.

@anders19701 3 года назад

Nice Hotrod. Big fan.

@geofo60 3 года назад

That looks great Matt, I really like the way the bead mimics the suage line around the wheel arch 👍👍. Definitely think Kate deserves a thumbs up too 👍👍. Geof (U.K.)

@nedharrisjr2991 3 года назад

Great job Matt. Don't want to turn anybody off but I love the fact that you never have any "ums" or "ahs" in your talks. Great videos. The folks of Pennsylvania are the beat. Truth time: I live in Arizona but my kids both live in Pittsburgh and they are the best too.

@shartne 3 года назад

That looks like it was supposed to be like that. Looks great! Now you gotta make one for the other side. For somebody who says he is not a pro you sure work and look like one. Metal working is like art.

Making progress 😎🙌🏻

@sweetmatthew662 3 года назад

That's awesome, you sleep on it and then decide later if you still love it. So many times I wish I had done that because I hated the way something looked days after. Especially after I spent a whole day or afternoon working on something. Instead of welding it and then hating it later, you sleep on it to see if you still like it after you haven't just invested all kinds of time. Smart

@scottcarter90 3 года назад

@michaelguinn5736 3 года назад

Hey Matt & Kate, I've done the very same thing, asked my Wife for bead rolling support! I also sleep on new ideas, if I still like them the next morning, finish it, the wheel well looks great....Be safe, God Bless!!

@jamiecampbell3068 3 года назад

Looks awesome. Yes to white upholstery. One stage up though .. .. the white pearlescent material is kick ass 1950's stock & 1960's show circuit. Also .. .. maybe chrome whatever lip that the upholstery affixes to, transitioning to the wheel well. Yep, I love spending someone else's money. King me !!! lol
