I get a real pleasure in watching your videos. I am 84 and feel like I and part of your work team. I enjoy all videos no matter what the content is. Thanks for letting me go along with you guys. Many blessings to all ! 😊

@IronTrapGarage 9 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you!

Thank you Matt , Steve and Mike for the update on how things are going there in Pennsylvania !

Good to see you getting the Free T sorted. I think that carbs are a bit of a black art in the end. I don't know the flat head engines or the Stromberg carbs but I suspect that one of those carbs will be adequate for street driving, so with 3 on the engine you have a lot of carb capacity and each carb is seeing about a third of the airflow it would if it was in a single configuration. With lower airflows the air signal on the main jets can be a lot less and it is necessary to go up jet sizes to compensate for that but don't go too much otherwise it will richen out too much at wide open throttle.

@michaelgillespie1206 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I was watching a video just the other day, the guy really knows flatheads and he said the same thing about having three carbs, you have to go up in jet size to compensate for it.

You know that in the D position on your floor shifter, the transmission will only shift one time. However, the shift is from second to third not first to second. My dad preferred driving our 63 Mercury that way (on the Merc it was listed as D2 instead of white dot) as he said it didn't spin the tires as easily.

@billywird 9 месяцев назад

My Granddaddy would shift his Chevrolet from first gear into high when it was not necessary to use second (usually on a flat grade or slightly downhill). When I drive a big truck with a multispeed transmission (13 speed) I do not use all gears depending upon the load. Useful information you have provided regarding this particular transmission. We had a 57 Pontiac with the Hydramatic and it had two ranges in drive I think the old man told me that one range would give four speeds and the other would give three, Of course the old man always used the range that gave three speeds. None of that "hot rod junk" for my Dad.

@jamesonpace726 9 месяцев назад

Cool job. Beats being a dentist....

@joealbert7773 9 месяцев назад

On the Cruise-O-Matic, the shift quadrant has a white dot, a green dot and an L. When you select green dot, you have all three gears. In white dot, the transmission starts in second and shifts to high. Of course L is low. Ford said white dot was useful in low traction conditions. Old Ford street racers knew that you could start in L and wind the engine out. Then you would shift to green dot to let it shift to second. As soon as it shifted you pulled the selector back to L which would lock it in second as long as you stayed on the throttle. Once you wound out second, back up to green dot to get third gear.

“Dad’s car” looks almost exactly like my college car in Texas in the 1970s. Same color, even. The cowl vent was a blessing in that hot weather. Mine had a SBC and ‘39 Ford trans.

@steveclark4291 9 месяцев назад

Matt , man I wish that I lived closer to you because I love tinkering with cars ! But I live in Kansas on a little farm which I also enjoy !

@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 9 месяцев назад

Everybody seems to have already covered the details of this episode. So I'm just going to say wow what a great selection of material that you put together for this episode.

@77Sunsetstrip 9 месяцев назад

Holy hot rods

@Shadow0fd3ath24 9 месяцев назад

You should add a roller to the edge on the Big Red transporter...itll save your cable! Also a $140 Wideband 02 gauge would save a ton of carb jetting issues and tell you exactly where you need to move the fuel delivery for each RPM!!!

I like Dad's car!

Afternoon Matt, my 31 Coupe is cracked in the same place...

@BrianSmart1959 9 месяцев назад

Oh, so that 's why I can never find a shopping cart.

@keithwallington4966 9 месяцев назад

@graemeburr6463 9 месяцев назад

Shift pattern on Dads daily is same as on 64 1/2 Mustang to 66 "Dual range c4". Little dot starts in second. Big dot starts in first. 67 they moved to the standard shift 1,2,3 pattern

@frankjones4094 9 месяцев назад

I took my drivers test when I was 16 in my Moms 65 Mustang fastback 2+2. That starting out in second was great for in the snow.

@t-rodzgarage 9 месяцев назад

I've had a couple of galaxies with cruise-a-matics in them where you had to pull it down to the green dot for it to shift twice. Nice video.

@motorfreaknew 9 месяцев назад

Cool!!👍👍👍👍

@barryhickman6911 4 месяца назад

Really enjoyed this one Matt!!!

@torbar9603 9 месяцев назад

Great to see the Dads Daily emblem that I made!

Man, the cart you got with that flathead Ford that is rusted up brings an old memory. Back in the eighties when I had stuff in storage (did some mechanical work as well) the people that lived in a mobile home village next to us would walk down to the local grocery store and would walk back home with a shopping cart loaded with their groceries. Well, the next time they would walk down to the grocery store, did they bother to push the empty cart back? No! that was too inconvenient. So, we had a lot of empty carts around and the grocery store did not care to have them back (I mean after all, us honest people indirectly paid for them and them carts are not cheap). So, we made engine carts, rear axle carts, transmission carts and so on, using those carts. I still have some of those carts. Of course, the carts of today would not hold up under the weight of these heavy parts, but the old ones did. They just don't make carts like they used to.

My 67 Fairlane had a green dot c4 in it.

This is one of the best iron trap videos.

@shotsrodder 9 месяцев назад

That’s Ford for you 😂Bass ackwards. Love the T🥰

@nicholaschristiani253 9 месяцев назад

Seems we are getting Tuesday's video early.

@rolandtb3 9 месяцев назад

So for dad's car gear shifter, do you re-label L12, H34? More success on the roadster carburetor by experimenting with jet sizing/fuel ratio/engine temperature. The black model T looks very sharp.

@MrJeep75 9 месяцев назад

Love that car

@matthewschneider2089 9 месяцев назад

Dude!!! Nice to see your dad's hot rod!!! I can't wait till those hot rodders get ahold of that black beauty!!! ps! Where's the green on!!??✌️

@b1g1lz 9 месяцев назад

I can imagine Mike editing all this thinking "here I am slaving away in the warehouse and those two monkeys are cruising around having fun" lol.

@billywird 9 месяцев назад

Yes sir but Mike is an integral part of the operation. It is fun getting all of this stuff but it is not so fun sorting it out and warehousing it. Automotive parts are definitely in a world of their own. Of course these guys are getting to the point where they are accumulating a lot of Ford parts that are just literally scattered across the country. When I was a P&D Contractor in LTL freight we would get in loads that went out to a local Ford parts distributor warehouse and the racks and such for automobile parts were a different breed of cat designed solely for automotive stuff. Even the pallets for the 55 gallon drums were larger and it required a wider (what we call a 102") trailer for them to fit on the floor side by side (these are called drum pallets). It takes one with a lot of patience to be able to go through the tedious process of handling stuff four or five times in order to get it sorted out and categorized. But I am sure Mike would rather be working on his own hot rod but one cannot have everything.🥸

How's the DeLorean '32 coming along with the interior and top work going? I am excited to see it once it's complete!

@IronTrapGarage 9 месяцев назад

Slow going but it’s getting there!

@waynespyker5731 9 месяцев назад

Does Moon ride Big Red like the Budweiser dalmatian in parades ?

@michaelgillespie1206 9 месяцев назад

Do you have a pressurized radiator system? That will lower the boiling point of the coolant.

@IronTrapGarage 9 месяцев назад

Yes it has a pressurized cap. Doesn’t correct an engine running lean and heating the engine up.

@fredfranklin1965 9 месяцев назад

Is that like brazing with gas . I learned that in 82/83 ?

@MrJeep75 9 месяцев назад

Probably a AMX trans

@jamesdamron2065 9 месяцев назад

@jamesmusser6160 9 месяцев назад

Matt is there a way to repair the windshield wiper Scrape marks on your dad's daily driver short of just replacing the windshield? Really...really digging the "Free T"....

@jamesmusser6160 9 месяцев назад

What a score! The "A' is gorgeous!

@IronTrapGarage 9 месяцев назад

Possibly buff the windshield but that’s the least of our worries on the car lol

@brianbarney1885 9 месяцев назад

Dumb question- isn’t what you are doing with the silicon bronze the same as brazing with a gas torch? Except you are melting the base steel instead of just heating it.

@IronTrapGarage 9 месяцев назад

Very similar process yes
