  • Matt's Pagoda City Coupe is a bare bones hot rod styled as an early east coast traditional hot rod. Matt gives us an in depth look at his 1930 Model A hot rod and all the parts he used to build it.

    These informational videos are solid, thank you. Turning 40 next month and I always looked past the hot rods and focused more on the muscle car era as a kid and through my 20’s and 30’s, now I like the old hot rods and even rat rods haha. You do great work and you’ve got a subscriber for life

    I'm 73 now. When I was in the BoyScouts in grade school one of the older scouts showed up in a open engine channeled 5 window coupe simular to the Pagoda City coupe. That was it! I was ruined for life. I've never forgotton it and the rest of my life when people ask "if you could have any car in the world what would it be?" Hands down 5 window coupe! Still remember what was painted on the side of it. "The Litl Hobo". Keep building them man and I will keep watching.

    you did an exceptional job on the build, I have been watching for a good period of time, and love to see you drive it to shows, and round. It matches my late brothers era, though he was west cost "lakester", the same level of detail makes them all just beautiful to me. Keep going as long as you can and have fun!

    I enjoy the older style Hot Rods. They are rough around the edges and I really liked driving my old 31 coupe. I was wondering about the F-1 steering box and it being used on top of the rail? I do not recall seeing a above the rail steering except early Chevy and reversed Corvair. Is it a matter of building a plate to hold the box and weld to the rail? I also remember the old VW steering a very long time ago. Thanks for your videos!
