The Ruined Roadster Gets It's Hopped Up Flathead - Sounds Awesome!! 

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

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

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

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.

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

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 . 👊😎👍

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

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

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

What a fantastic outcome. Brilliant work guys!

From ruined to radical, wink, wink.

And this one is shiney. Looks great

Damn hot rodders!

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.

Just like old school hotrodders would do !!!!

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!

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

NOW it’s a hotrod!

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

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!

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

Dude!!! Looks Great!!! Nice job!!✌️

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. 😂

Now that engine looks badass man!

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 !!

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

Lookin good! Steve is one agreeable guy.

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

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

Looks perfect and sounds great!

The flathead sounded great 😊

I like it

Engine is perfect in that car. I like it.

Great video! Love the car!

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

can,t wait to see you finish the 33.

gone a be a cool car

Been here from the beginning! Great channel!! Always a pleasure to watch!!!

I love how the flathead looks!

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

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

A beauty for sure!

Matt & crew, very nice!!

perfect!

I like it alot reminds me of hot rod mag when I was growing up.

Great engine change Matt.

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.

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

Nice job, looks good.

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

Looking good.....ruin it all you want.

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 .

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

Only change id make is a modern 5 speed but that's me . Great Job

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

good choice guys. the videos are very enjoyable

Awesome!

Beauty eh , as we say in Canada.

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

Love the Sunday vids! Thanks!

tha’ engine of choice looks awesome!

Been waiting for this one ✌️

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.

I love it!

Awesome 👍

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

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.

You are building a dream car of mine

Engine looks great....

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

good job

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

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

good show😎👍

Is that B model 4 cylinder for sale?

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

Are you cranking that with a 12V?

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

Sweet

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?

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

i like this one!

Ruined…beautifully!

Made it.... 1st ten views
