When cleaning out the 1934 Ford Tudor Matt found an owners card that was not Larry Schroll. After we filmed that video Matt started doing some research and tracked down a gentleman named Barry S. Barry is a dirt track photographer and matched the age for when the car would have been built. Matt sent him a message on Facebook hoping to gain more information about the car. There was about a months time span between shooting the video and when we released it, and there still was no contact from Barry. One of our viewers is local to Barry and knew of him from the local racetrack. Brian G was able to talk to Barry and get his contact information, and we are going to call him to get some more information on the car!! We hope to have Barry come to the shop and maybe even take the 34 for a spin this summer!!!

How cool was that!!!! I can't wait to see his face when he sees it in person!

@colinstables 4 года назад

Great story, imagine your hotrod preserved like that, man that’s cool

@DanaandClay 4 года назад

Barry sounds like a real nice guy. I can't wait to watch him see the '34 after all those years. Bonus: This dude's a car photographer. I imagine those pics he said he has are great!

@ihrescue 4 года назад

The back stories are always great and often are not so easy to discover as Matt did for this great car. It makes it that much more special.

@jimandlinsnow7002 4 года назад

Matt, you gotta record the reunion. Good stuff,

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

thats the plan!!

I was smiling ear to ear watching this, SO stoked for you Matt.

@Abraham Izaiah thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Abraham Izaiah It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out :D

@robertlabaw2037 4 года назад

I wore a big smile watching this episode and hearing the stories of the evolution of the car, as every car, no matter how "finished" it is, is always a work in progress. I can hardly wait for the episode where he gets to see it again...

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

we will be sure to film it!!

@gregjobson4844 4 года назад

Good story Matt, its amazing how the chance finding of some document when cleaning out a car can lead back to decades of the car's history ..........and pics to boot, that doesn't happen very often. Cheers

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

We cant wait to see the pictures!!

What an absolutely excellent phone call. Thanks for sharing that one matt 👍

@53chevsled 4 года назад

Wow that’s so cool to actually find and speak to the original builder , I can see the day you guy’s meet being a long and interesting one maybe even a little emotional for the cars original builder , I know any car we invest our time and efforts into become an extension of our personality’s and emotional investment, most non car people wouldn’t understand a car we build is never just a car . Great stuff and I hope you’re able to make a video of the meeting and the first time he sees it that would be something special, thanks for sharing and cheers from down under 😎👍👍🇦🇺🍻

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

We couldn't have said it any better. We hope he is able to make it out this summer and check out the car!

@jean-pierrecayol4897 4 года назад

That’s exactly what I think. I’m the 3rd European owner of a Mustang 66 which arrived in Germany 11 years ago from California, I’d love to do the same, but there is no Marty’s report for 66! Excellent story thanks for sharing!

@Ecosse57 4 года назад

@@IronTrapGarage i said it before and i'll say again i'm really glad it was itg that got hold of this car. could have had a far different fate and this gent may have never had a chance to see it again.

Nice to see the history of the 34 tudor sedan come full circle :) And when he said "Honest Charlie's Speed Shop" It made me feel so old LOL . I remember those days (with Hot Rod City just down the street from me in Torrance Calif ) .

@billandrew8134 4 года назад

You not only brought the engine back to life you gave the car back it's life , driving and working on it will mean so much more , Bill

@TheDiamondback73 4 года назад

I could only imagine what it would be like to be told that one of my early cars was still out there. And, in the condition that I last saw it!!! I'd be absolutely stoked to buy it back!

@ezsgarage1766 4 года назад

I would try to buy it back too !!!!

@LBCGMC562 4 года назад

Stuff like this is why RU-vid should exist. The types of conversations you maybe got a quote or two of in Rod and Custom. So cool to hear his voice and can’t wait for him to see the car again and see what kind of photos he has of it from the 60s

@scottdore132 4 года назад

@michaelguinn5736 4 года назад

Hi Matt & Co. Wow, it's really heartwarming that you are taking the initiative to find the history of this car, keeping the car as the original builder built it is awesome. When you two meet I hope you have the camera going, my guess it will be quite emotional. Keep this up Matt, you have a viewer here for many years to come!! God Bless!!!

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

We plan to film the day!

@davidpringle8089 4 года назад

Listening to you guys talk made me think back to the mid 60's when I was a teenager building my first 55 Chevy and a little later a 36 Ford coupe!Those were wonderful care free days!

It just keeps getting better and better!

@JamieR1234 4 года назад

Almost brings a tear to your eye hearing him relive those memories. So awesome that the car is as he built it. God I hope he gets to see it after all.

@dalemckeon1484 4 года назад

Greetings from Australia! Who'd have thought a static camera video of a phone conversation could be so fascinating and enjoyable? I LOVED that vid!! I love your channel and the passion that drives you in your various projects. Hearing the history and back story on our cars adds so much to the experience of owning and driving old vehicles. To hear him actually remember things as you spoke to him was a bonus. Can't wait to see the reunion episode featuring you and Barry with the 34. Well done Matt!!

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

We can’t wait for him to see the car. We may even let him drive it!!

@Kevin-go2dw 4 года назад

Well done. Brings a tear to the eye. Really great to hear more of the history on the vehicle. Hope this is motivation to get the wheels turning faster. Would be nice to reunite the original steering wheel with the car.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

Putting history to the car is amazing! Matts been working hard to get it driving for this summer!

@hensleyshobbies-doug7761 4 года назад

That is Cool Matt, you getting a hold of the original owner of the 34’. Fantastic buddy!

@thinkingofyouto1 4 года назад

Do you know how happy you made that guy when he found out his car is still around and hasn’t been changed

@b1g1lz 4 года назад

Absolutely fantastic to have that history connection. Can't wait to see Barry reunited with his old car and the photos he might have of it.

@franklinthompson8629 4 года назад

Once you get the car running and have the reunion, you need to submit it to the Kustomrama website. That is where there is a history of old hot rods.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

Yea great idea. I do enjoy their site!

@thomasst.martin3308 4 года назад

Wow. You lucky SOB! Knowing the history on these old cars is half the fun of having them today. Thanks for sharing the conversation. One of my biggest regrets was never taking pictures of our old drag cars and race cars. All I have today is what I can remember.

@RustyIronProjectsRIP 4 года назад

The best thing about old cars and projects are the back stories. The history is sometimes the best part of old iron. Thanks for sharing Matt.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

The best part of this hobby is the stories. Nothing better then sitting down and listening to the stories of the early days of hot rodding

@DeuceDevil 4 года назад

Matt ; the Hot Rod Gods were smiling on you to be able to get in touch with the original owner. That's so cool that you will be able to meet him also. I bet a tear will come to his eyes when he sees the old girl. Thanks for posting this history. All the best from East Coast Canada.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

@Ecosse57 4 года назад

No question the coolest thing I've watched in some time. Hoping for a reunion but it's really great to hear this guy recall his old car, seems like a good fella, and glad it's stayed in PA. I love this car even more.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

We can’t wait to get him over to see the car! Hoping to have it far enough along to maybe even just take it around the block if it isn’t fully done. So excited!

@jons7771 4 года назад

@llqvz116 4 года назад

What a fantastic video. It's always great to have some contact with a car's previous owner or family. I've got a 1947 Rover 16 (not a hot rod, just old) and a few years ago I got some photos of the car from a friend of the original owner's, and spoke to his daughter on law about the car. Fascinating stuff.

@thompetersenautoart 4 года назад

GREAT SHOW !!! ... So many times I wondered what happemed to my customs from the 1960s ,,, Sometimes I dream I am walking through a junkyard turn the corner and there is my panel painted 1950 Ford from 1964. ... Thanks Matt!

@kennethreiver985 4 года назад

This is so cool ! Usually by the time we get to do or try to do this the original or former owners have unfortunately passed away . I love knowing the history of a car it always makes the car more special . I like to do that in junkyards imagining the history of the wrecked cars and looking in glove compartment looking for clues . Good for you Matt !

@BBBILLY86 4 года назад

This was cool. Im from NY and bought a 1970 Nova last year. Found the original bill of sale was from a York PA. Chevrolet Dealership. The guy traded in a 1964 Chevy 2 for the Nova. Got $420 for the trade in. Lol

@freddiebates5539 4 года назад

That was great conversation with the original owner, something you very seldom do is find the original owner, I know he will be excited to see it on the road again. Guess that shoots me out of the saddle. Take care of it guys. Freddie out!

@rumrunner1756 4 года назад

This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us. I’m sure that he is as psyched as I would be if someone called me about one of my old hot rods. I look forward to seeing the reunion. I would watch a channel dedicated to matching old cars with their former owners like the ones that they have now for reuniting families. Awesome channel! 👍☮️

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

Thats a killer idea for a channel. Hearing the memories and the stories from the original owners would be amazing

@davidbarnsley8486 4 года назад

Its going to be a neat reunion!

@keithkrause3386 4 года назад

That's pretty kool you got to talk to the old owner, it'll be neat to see him drive it in a video.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

That’s the plan!!

@WiredCustomsSpeedShop 4 года назад

That’s awesome Matt, that makes the find so much sweeter, I bet that was a good feeling when he started describing the car and what all he did to it back then, I am looking for the video and his reaction when he sees the car, one thing we all always hope for is that our car lasts and someone takes car of it, I am sure he is just as happy as you are

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад

Hopefully this summer he can come over and check out the car. We will hopefully film the re-uniting and hopefully let him take it for a spin!!

@gerrymilidantri6457 4 года назад

@Insomniamodelcars 3 года назад

I just found your channel and I love it. I love finding the history of the car. I'm really big on keeping the history. I'm the 2nd owner of a lincoln and I have a notebook I'm keeping all my receipts, pictures everything. I really wanna thank you for saving history. New subscriber

@TheKalanTeam 4 года назад

Way cool to not only find but speak to the guy who built it. He sounds pretty sharp, remembers what he did and is going to get a kick out of seeing it again. It will be like a time capsule. Plus being a photographer, you know he’s gonna have a ton of photos.

Fantastic phone interview!!! He's still alive...lives nearby...AND has pictures as well as, OG steering wheel.WOW! My elder friend, in Orlando, bought his '34 Tudor in 1962. It's more of a Street Rod, but I still want it. Over 250k miles!!

@racer6583 4 года назад

wow what a blast to talk to the guy that had done it back in the day I'm so happy that you got a complete story on the 34 it's so hard to get a story on those old rods. The story makes this car special more than other cars that are found because most of the time you just guess what the person had in mind for their hot rod.

@eliembree4637 4 года назад

This is awesome Matt. Plus he’s a hot rod photographer. You guys should have him come out to look at the car once you get it all cleaned up and ask him to take new photographs of it. You could make a story book of the car from his old photos to present day. What a cool car with an amazing story. This is what makes your channel so special. Awesome.

@IronTrapGarage 4 года назад
