We RUINED This 1932 Roadster - Pulling The Original 4 Cylinder 

Haha yep!

@@IronTrapGarage , Who else besides H&H does flathead rebuilds these days and what'd that V8 run ya to build?

It’s the same in England, a stock Riley saloon from the 30s is worth around £6000, change the body to a period looking ‘special’ roadster and it’s worth £50,000!

desirable to 80 year old guys lol. They should keep it original or grab a remake. stock 32s are incredibly rare already

Shame on you 😂 We all wish we had one of those to ruin.

That depends on who your target buyer is. A high end hot rod is highly desirable and surely will cost more to build resulting in a big price tag. A true well kept original ‘32 survivor ( which this isn’t) is highly prized by collectors who will gladly pay a high price. Since Matt and Steve are putting this one together, it will be a far cry from a backyard build by a couple of teenagers with whatever parts they could scrounge and make fit.

What's even funnier is once it is restored (that is if they actually follow through with it) is it really restored with made in Taiwan vintique parts? Don't get me wrong the quality is pretty good on most of the reproduction parts but the car is only original once and when they are missing three quarters of the tiny (and expensive trim bits) and drive train parts you're either restoring the car because you're sentimental about that particular car or you don't realize what you are about to and the insane cost involved with a restoration or because you want a challenge that almost no one will understand. Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with a hot rod or a restored car but when it comes to a Ford they are pretty common nothing is rare not even a 32 ford phaeton, they were a mass-produced item and almost all of them as they hit 20 and 30 years old were saved because the 32 Ford is probably the coolest car ever made. From a restoration standpoint I would be more impressed with somebody restoring a Chevrolet from 1932, the car is pretty much all wood in the framing of the body and if it survived it's a rare sight today because they all fell apart when they started to get some age on them back in the 1950s and 1960s. Or I would also be really impressed if somebody was saving one of the orphan cars like a bantam or Studebaker because there wasn't a whole lot of them made at what was made most of them did not survive because they were not considered cool cars other than maybe the 1932 Studebaker dictator coupe (there is a cool surf song if you ever want to look it up about that car).

Sanford and son reference

I'm 69😅

Exactly ! I'm 67. We're not older it's just everyone else is younger ! 👊😎👍

@@Awsom47Merc We're "vintage". 😂

It's weird when you realize you're the same age as old people.

I am 45 and when I was cutting my teeth with vintage cars when I was a young teenager I used to hate fuzzy dice and Continental kits (and billet street rods or monochrome rides) but as I get older I can appreciate all corners of the old car hobby and now that people my father's age and his fathers age are almost all gone it's kind of sad not seeing all those 1950s cruisers done up the way they thought it was cool in 1955. Today I am seeing cars from my youth that I never saw as cool like Toyota supras, Mazda RX-7s, Ford Fairmont Futuras and the god awful ugly 5.0 Mustang... Just think in a few more years you are going to see fart can exhaust make a comeback just like Continental kits did in the 1980s and 90s lol

We did a shop shoot a while back and sold posters! We may need to do another one someday soon!

don't forget about the banger specific parts that I'm sure are impossible to find

It wasnt even a survivor, that car had already been a mild hot rod nd then restored later.

@@danielbuckner2167 And the "restoration" was not done well.

@@etheroar6312 It wasnt what I would called concourse quality but it wasnt bad either. No big deal.

It’s freaking sweet. I’ve dreamed of doing something like this for years.

I’ll remember that next time I go into a scrap yard and see a guy with a torch cutting up an antique car and then compare it to restoration shop where they restore cars. It won’t be hard to figure out as to which one has the more difficult job.

Don't think so, that's a stupid comment

Lol! Or dismantled the sedan delivery to use it for the Nomadd

The banger engine and trans is for sale. Send us an email if you’re interested. Irontrapgarage@gmail.com

which is why I'm building my 38 chevy pickup how I want to even though it is completely original. I'm selling off any usable original parts I remove to help pay for the build which may get a few other pickups back on the road too
