- The dust has settle from the massive 1934 Ford buyout and its finally time to take a look at Matt's keeper. This 1934 Ford 5 Window Coupe was originally purchased in Southern California and Matt is now the 3rd owner. The gentleman Matt purchased the car from parked the car in the mid 60s and it sat basically untouched. Today Matt and Mike are going to clean out the interior and take a closer look at the overall condition of the car. Mike also gives "Beautiful" its first bath since the 60's and we get a better look at the condition of the paint. We are going to let the car sit for a few days and let it tell us what we should do.

My grandfather bought my father a brand new 34 five-window coup for graduation from high school. My father kept that car running until 1977 and sold it when he became ill. My father taught me to drive in that ford, my sister and brother as well. He called her the crescent lady because the first time he dated my mom there was a crescent moon in the sky. I so miss that car.
Matt, Your "rose" is likely a Veterans Day Poppy distributed on Veterans Day since 1921. It symbolizes the color of blood lost by American Veterans in battle around the world. It is a nice find and save for you.
I remember as a kid seeing vets selling those poppies on the sidewalks downtown on Memorial Day and the days leading up to Memorial Day, not Veteran's Day.
@@rustypipes6339 Yes, you are correct. I misspoke.
They still sell the poppies in Canada leading up to “Remembrance Day”. All the money goes to the Canadian Legions across Canada. It includes the Veterans from all conflicts where soldiers were lost. It is an honour to lead the procession to the local Legion Hall. 🇨🇦
I think at least we call them "Buddy poppy" and yes memorial Day. there's one or parts of one on the mirror of every car I've had sence I was 20. WOW I just realized 32 years of going to memorial Day at fort Logan damn I'm old😎
Matt and Mike two buddies doing what they love to do that in itself is awesome and the 34 is a find of a lifetime……Great Job guys!!!!
Don't believe I've ever enjoyed watching a guy cleaning out a car as much..........again, great score!
Man that car is sweet!
As a 30+ year painter, I see 500 hours with 800-1000 grit wet sanding and the hand rub it out, but I’m nuts!😆
Haha wanna come help?!
@@IronTrapGarage I would love to!
That’s my PG answer for ya!😆
Only prob I have, the 2000 miles between us!
@@IronTrapGarage I’m sorry, it’s only 1559.1 miles!😬😆
You can be there in two days if you hussle.
@@wayneforbes7671 I await your contribution to the hotel, gas and food fund and I’ll be there in a jiff!😬
I wouldn't use the stripper. Maybe thinners would be better, but I think gentle wet sanding. It may take longer but will be safer. You cannot be too aggressive.
I was thinking a gentle wet sand with 600, until the grey is just barely hinting, then use some thinner - the sanded paint has more surface area and should come off quick. I'd also spend a little time on a hidden area experimenting with thinners to find some that dont affect the factory paint, and see if those are effective on the brush job.
I'm so ridiculously excited!
Like opening the BIG present at Xmas!!
Unwrapping her true beauty with every drop!
Cracked me up that you jumped straight into the classifieds on those old papers. My grandpa saved every magazine he bought between '50-ish and the late '60s. I still like to thumb through them from time to time and daydream about buying an award-winning roadster for $1800.
What a find. Holy crap. She's mint. Great to find the veteran's poppy as well. Adds to the story of the car. Be safe and stay well.
Rose = Poppy : The red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed during battle following the publication of the wartime poem “In Flanders Fields.”
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,"
The seats! I lost my mind when I saw the seats unveiled. Wow!!! Such great shape. My all time favorite car! Wish I could get one. Great find guys!
What a score! You just keep rolling them in like so many strikes in a perfect three hundred game. Way to go.
I just went and looked at what was touted as a '27 "T" bucket roadster with an Olds motor and it turned out to be a glass body on a home made tube chassis with a 455 CID motor. Not what I thought it would be. I'll keep looking! The El Camino is not quite done.
Just found your channel. Love old cars I have a 1940 Packard 110 and a 1937 chevy coup street rod with a 327. Keep saving the old ones
Thanks for watching!
What a car, you got to be proud of it. I’m excited to se it run as much as you guys are.
I don't know if this could help with the paint removal.
I had success removing enamel paint using the product Purple power. I believe it has a trace on lye in it.
You can try dollar store oven cleaner also.
Just my 2 cents.
13:49 That is a Poppy flower that was given out on Memorial Day with a donation for the Vets.
I would use gun wash thinners. The top layers will be enamel and gun wash thinners will wash it off. I use it in a squirt bottle to clean paint out of engine bays.
I sell automotive refinish supplies and I have customers that will mix lacquer thinner with wax and grease remover (1:1). I have had good success with a generic urethane reducer. The old adage: start with the least aggressive and work it from there.
Glad to see you guys are going down the list of projects.this will be a fun one, like the rest of them. Thanks for the video
Some Simple Green with a power washer would be a great start.Then wash the car the 'regular' way.When it's dry, wipe down with laquer thinner.JMHO
Matt, a sweet car. Enjoy bringing her back to life!
Hey Matt & Mike,
WOW !
What a find !
Exploring a vintage car is so much fun.
This is going to be a good experiance for both of you.
As a viewer I am excited to see this happen.
It brings back so many memories from my teen days.
Boy , car in great shape . I remember cars being painted with brushes , bought 64 ford fastback had been painted black with brush , looked good 20 ft away. As always good video
Absolutely killing it with the videos recently, first that time capsule Mercury, then this amazing 34
You're a lucky man Matt
Today both the Pennsylvania Matts posted,@irontrap and @dieselcreek. 34 Ford archeology and taking down a silo. Different passions,both best stuff out there. Thanks guys
awesome project !!! Can't wait to see how it comes out. Keep up the good work.
Such a jewel ,glad it's in the right home...find job also for ur newest employee,, ur all a great team ,that includes ur other buds..😎✌🤙👍
Beautiful time capsule.. amazing shape after all these years.
The paint underneath looks very cool👌🏽.I would try a good pressure washer and see how much or how well the paint goes off with it. If it is not well cleaned and prepared, a lot of it should come right off🤔if not i would carefully try a good paint stripper
You should wear a mask when working with mouse dust
What a beautiful car. That''s the one I would have picked out. Looking forward to seeing you work on it.
Awesome find! Hard to believe these vehicles are still out there. Love to see the original paint, hopefully it can be polished up after removing the brushed on mess.
"Nobody wants to watch me wash a car"
He said and shows 6" of his underwear.
🤣😄 Cute.
Yeah, and the backwards cap completes the 'look',lol.
I have used oven cleaner , spray Easy Off . Worked amazing and original paint buffed right up
I admire the passion you have for vintage cars. So cool.
Thank you!
My cousin Rocky restored a '34 Ford back to original in the late 60's. He said he was going to give it to his 5 year old son when he turned 16. I'll never forget what the boy said to his dad on his 16th birthday. "Are you kidding? I don't want to be seen driving THAT!" He wanted a Mustang. It was still in Rocky's garage when he died in 2010. Now the son has it and drives it.
She's an amazing treasure 💖
So cool! What a great find.
What an amazing car to find. So cool!
Love this car !!! Diamond in the rough!
What a cool find. Totally original 34! Unreal!
Matt great video, that 34 is a great find. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Oven cleaner works well to strip household paint off car bodywork. We used to use it to take signwriting off.
This is a well preserved old car!! I never seen citra strip work before. Looks like a neat product. Working with old paint like this is tricky. I have used cheap lacquer thinner (as it is not as HOT) before and had good luck. The trick is the timing. How long do you leave it on is the key. A small jar or rattle can cap filled with thinner and a tooth brush is what I used. As soon as the top paint is off QUICK RINSE with water or some other mild??? to get the lacquer thinner to stop eating. Experiment in spots down below that you can't see well. A tooth brush works good as it removes the paint as you go. Normally factory paint is baked making it stronger. What I stripped was an old Honda CR125 tank someone had brushed with rustolium. It turned out really nice. Good Luck and do not be in a hurry!! This is a COOL car!!!
Morning Matt and Mike, I kinda figured you would keep this car, man the car's that have come your way, you have been able to pick up some fine vintage cars...is there anything that has come your way that you passed on? I realize you can't buy everything...thanks for sharing...Be safe, God Bless!!
What a find. Congrats
Very charming car...unpretentious...utilitarian and svelte while pleasing with durable and useful practicality are signs of scale and design success of that era...
Flanders fields. Great poem for the poppie
#ITG it is good to see the new guy on this side of the camera. Hopefully it will become more of a feature. Welcome onboard officially, Mike! Really great you get to do this full time. A lot of work, but a lot of satisfaction. Keep the videos coming. Matt, that is a beautiful car. No pun intended. Ok, maybe a little intended.
Nice old car. Great shape, minimal rust, awesome.
Can't wait to see it restored!!! Cheers, :D London
This is a neat project. Can’t wait to see if it runs.
Very cool car. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Yes please keep us posted on that 33 that’ll be a great video several videos keep up the nice work thanks guys
So much history in that car. I wish it could tell stories!
Nice find Matt. It’s in good hands now!
Great start. I would reach out to a vintage detailer for some tips on what to use that will help preserve and clean the various materials and surfaces. Tha last thing I know you want is to do something to increase any degradation. Enjoyable as always.
What an awesome car find, too bad about the paint issue, look forward to the next reveal.
I knew that was the one. Not cause it was on your trailer but cause it was the one most intact. Awesome
One thing the car is "Saying" to me is "Please pop that dent out of my passenger side fender!" lol
Coming soon!
Great stuff, Man! Love your channel, one of my absolute faves.
Very nice! Bet it'll start right up!
In 1980 i bought a 48 Desoto two door custom coupe. Original radio. First time I turned it on it was 40s music. Kinda neat.
SHE IS WONDERFUL !!! A TRUE SURVIVOR !
congrats on 100k,almost there. well deserved
Congratulations on 100,000... almost
will be nice to see it run enjoyed the video
That is great time capsule it will be even better once you guys get it running
35712 actual miles. WOW. What a fantastic find.
So cool this 34. Interested to follow you along on this car. 👍👍
Wow, I can't believe how clean and untouched that car is. I'm so glad it found an owner that understands the importance of preserving it as a survivor. Personally the only visual changes I'd make would be to go back to the original headlight lenses and straighten out the front fender. The paint is a tough call, the car looks presentable as is from a distance, but I'm also curious how much original paint is left.
Nice car…Great to run around town…cruise the gut…be safe…
Awesome car!!
Make the car your own. Great starting point for mild to wild. ✌
I have used Pin-sole cleaner with a soft bristle brush for removing over paint on antique toy cars and trucks.
Matt, i know it's not for sale...but if it was what would you ask for it?That is my DREAM CAR....DAMN......If it was mine I would clean it up real good, do a PM the whole car&buy new tires,and drive the HELL out of it....A daily driver....THAT"S WHAT I'd DO.....DAMN I LOVE THAT Diamond in the rut.....YOU GUY'S GOT IT GOING ON.....Take care of you & yours my friend's......
Very cool 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like the style of "Beautiful"
Nice ride
Matt you truly got a "To Die For" with that 34 coupe!Glad to see you ended up with it because of the respect you have for cars in that condition. I cringe to think what would happen to it if it had ended up on the open market. Probably chopped! You got my ultimate dream car there. Not going to ask in a open forum cause it's your business only. But if you would not mind my asking, what did it set you back, PM me if you consent to share. I'd just love to know! In case I'd get lucky somehow. I know 34's are outrageous these days, prices all over the place. 20K for what I call a hulk. In any case congrats glad to see that coupe get the love it deserves!
Hope you leave as is. That thing is stunning. You have a perfect collection of early fords imo.
What a nice almost original car, I know you will treat it right.
'34 Ford is rad, looking forward to more videos!
I used a tire pump just like that many times for my bicycle, and with an adapter for basketball, football! But, not everyone had one, almost always someone in the neighborhood had one, we could borrow, as long as we brought it back, which was never not a consideration, that is actually a poppy given away by the VFW, other military groups, on Memorial Day!!
My dream car.
wonderful car ;-)
I have used oven cleaner and a q tip to remove painted on pinstriping
Wooster rubber company was probably the predecessor to rubbermaid, which is still in Wooster, Ohio
shoulda added make it like a Jay Leno show room car. it needs it and deserves it since the woman loved and cherished it and took such wonderful care of it
Bonnie and Clyde era Rod! Beautiful car Matt. Definitely a candidate for a gnarly motor job :-)) Custom tig job headers out the side all wrapped or something lol Cool!
Beautiful
I am looking forward to the first drive video of this car. I am sure it will be awhile but still.
Veterans day, purchased a poppy!😄😎☝️
Great looking car.
Fantastic car beautifull congratulations from Brasil
When I was a teen car nut in the '60's these old heaps were still around, and often could be picked up for cheap. Also, lots of them were just rotting away, but could not be bought as the owners "had promised them to some spoiled grand kid" that didn't really want it anyway. One that comes to mind for me is a '34 Plymouth 5 window that sat a few blocks over from my house for years. The old guy lived in a ratty old trailer, and finally he said he'd take $75 bucks for it. My buddy and I tugged it out to the street, pulled for a block or two til fired up, then test drove for a ways. It smoked like chimney and ran badly, and had no brakes. We offered $35 in view of all the work it needed, he turned it down. It sat in that yard many more years then finally disappeared.
I thought the yellow and black one was the most lovely. That's the one that made me wish it was mine at least. Unfortunatley we don't have any old garage find 1934 Fords here in the UK.
The seats are in incredibly great condition from what I can see in the Video
Matt, that car is so solid it would be a good candidate to clean up and leave as is. Just get down to the original paint, put the original reflectors and lenses back in and just enjoy!
Matt- Mojo Speed Shop and Lounge
Awesome! Almost @ 100K 👍🇺🇸😜🤘😊
Congratulation's on 100k
I use that stripper also takes off the under coating too
Congratulations on 100,000 subscriber
Thank you!
WOW!!!👍💪😎
Matt that’s a sweet time capsule of a car. I agree with marvel’s mystery oil that engine. Wonder what it will take to get off the hand paint job? Once done it will look fantastic
Great car
