Great finish for an old surface.
😍😍😍
The 39 looks really good now.
I agree Ted
Amazing!! That Ole man saved that car.
😍😍
Remarkably -- its a survivor , without much damage and the color and condition of bodywork is truly nearly intact..!!
Carry on...
The 39 looks great!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Thank you Matt and Steve for the update on the '39 Ford Coupe ! It looks a lot better than it first did !
❤❤❤
That 39 is a hell of a find! Once you finish with Mad-Scientist-Be-Gone it's remarkably solid. You really got after it on the polish job and what a payoff!
Looks great ! You guys really need to build a hotrod for Steve !! He is always there for You ...
He is always.. paid.. as a full time employee….
An excellent job on the most beautiful coupé, please Matt, keep it alive..
I'd be happy and proud to drive it looking like that.
The 39 coupe reminds me of a 40 standard coupe I found in 1967. It was the same color, it was sitting behind a gas station in Chetopa, Kansas. The owner had wanted to make a gasser out of it but had lost interest, It was for sale, I was only 14 and my Dad wouldn't let me buy it no matter how much I begged. I could have bought it for $90.
Oh man. I bought an eight track/radio/record player stereo for $110 in 72 with my newspaper boy earnings (I was 10). I say that because I can feel how close you were to having it. I feel for you, brother.
All of yalls HARD work really paid off !!! Looks soo much better 😊
I used to scrape paint & restore iron railings. Back in the day, Naval Jelly was a must to clean up orange blossoms. Made a mess but worked. Nice job on the 39. Ty for taking us along
You guys are doing a great job. I always thought that cowl vents on pre 50's cars were literally and figuratively really cool. Thanx for bring that one back to life.
They also do a great job of blowing all the dirt on the floor right into your eyes!
I did a similar process on my old Fargo truck and it really brought back the paint colour. I then hit it with my power polisher and some polishing compound. Finally I coated the old patina with a clear. Pretty shiny now even the rusty patches.
Good job Matt and Steve that poor old girl deserved that
Love guys looks amazing
My complements to Steve, he's a super mechanic working with you in your shop....👍💪👌
Thanks for another , Brother !
Remember back when new the paint was lacquer very soft rather than more newer cars that were painted with acrylic lacquer that is harder and more durable.
Between the 2 of you, you spent 16 hours working on the body now spent 1 hour working on the undercarriage.
Love that Ford Matt. I'd leave it be for a while cause it's a true time capsule. It'd be nice if you shoved a nice high strung flattie in it and make a bit of a sleeper out of it. Chemical Guys stuff ... I thought they're products were my secret. I've been using they're stuff for a while and am very happy with it. Anyway "Hey" to everyone and give Moon a pat for me. Cheers 👊😎👍
Hey Matt & Steve, great job on cleaning up the paint on the '39 Coupe! WOW! You were dead-on with your analysis - and your work paid off big time. It would be a trip if the previous owner could have seen your results... I'm betting he would have been impressed. Thank goodness you guys got it!
Hey Matt: Try using a kitchen sponge for the block for your wet sanding. It conforms much better to all of the curves instead of only hitting the high spots. Try it. I think you will be happy. That looks like a really solid car !!
It looks beautiful! It's nice to see the Hanes Coupe all spiffed up.
Fine looking ride !
Good looking '39!
I know that you really like to lower the fronts on your cars, but I and perhaps some others would prefer to see a stock set up. I grew up with these cars and really like the original look, Great show and thanks for all your work.
I don't believe he is building it for you and some others, he is a hot rod guy not a restorer
Again with the restoration comments. They build traditional hot rods not original looking restorations. The car looks awesome.
Certainly better than when you brought it to your shop! Not my color choice for a car, but it is what it is. Looks as good as it could without a repaint!
Another great looking ‘39’ wonderful old car!
just enough......thanks for posting, looks like i need to get busy on ol' Hag...Thanks again
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much (brings back memories of my parents 1941 Oldsmobile).
Now, THAT'S a nice job!!👌
a Major difference from day one of you getting it to what it looks like now she 's a driver now for sure
At least he made an attempt to preserve it. Looks sooo much better now. Road trip!!!!!!!!
Looking good big effort on paint work just right. For the original look.
Love Chemical Guys products. Their VPR for rubber and plastics and the Heavy Metal Polish are awesome products as well. Couple looks great.
Paint and polish looks Great Matt 👍
that paint got deep.
Wow. Very satisfying vid.
That cowl vent! Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do 🤪
IronTrap Garage, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
To quote Eddie Cochran, "She's sure fine looking man, she's something else!" That was a lot of hard work, but lordy bahgordy, what a transformation! That there is the definition of a beautifully preserved (thru all your hard work) survivor! Go Iron Trap, keep moving forward!
I believe the cowl vent was sealed with Permagum, a putty used by electricians. It stays put and pliable.
Great job. Keep him original. So cool.😊
Looks real good considering how old it is at 85 years old.
it won't be long before your hot rodding cars will be behind you and that original looking '39 will be what you'll want to drive around in. ...you're already looking the part. haha
and those steelies (my favorites) are looking reeealy nice what with those beauty rings and fancy hubcaps. nice!
What a difference! I remember, when I was 12 or so, trying to get the paint back on my Dad's 250V8 Daimler with T cut, by hand. It was so dusty flat. A nightmare that took months! 😃 But I enjoyed it. I will bet, Professional Detailers are looking at this vid and saying, "You did what!" Lol
She looks fantastic on camera…👌🏼gonna use the same technique for my 67 impalaSS ..sierra fawn …thanks for the step by step tutorial.
Ya guys RoCK ⛽️👊🏼
WOW! A lot of elbow grease but what a difference. New exhaust and paint on the frame and rear end and she's a beaut Clark.
That 39 ford looks great. Thanks for the video. I used a Mcguriars product on a red 64 cutlass that had sun damaged back in 73 and it looked much better. That product removed the old oxidized paint and gave it a shine. Unfortunately the sun had done too much damage to get a perfect finish.
mad scientist "sealing" up the vent makes me cringe. I'm redoing a cj5 and the previous owner use to melt toilet wax rings to seal up leaks. does a good job unless you are trying to remove it so you can fix things properly. well done polishing this girl up. I look forward to the next.
Wow looks great you guys busted butt on it and it shure paid off. Amazing surviver fine .
bumpers looking good!
Awesome looking car after all that cleaning and polishing. Shows what can be done with some hard work guys. Will the wheels get some spiffing up in the future? This will be a fun one to drive for the summer.
Sorry to bug you. Hey get some of that stuff called trim shine by a company called Stoner. They have it at O’Reillys I know and it would make those runningboards look really cool. You just spray it on old rubber stuff and it makes it look brand new.
thats a nice car now, mcant wait to see it finished
Doc Brown's Coupe is looking great.
Absolutely fabulous. Among the ranks of survivor cars this is about as good as it gets. Thanks for your hard work to save the car and entertain us at the same time.
Living through you guys ♥️👍
Love the '39 👍👍
Great job cleaning up the 39. Amazing what time and elbow grease can accomplish.
I think some white walls would look good on it. Especially since it's the Deluxe.
I don't effing believe how good it looks.
She's looking great, guys!
Reminds me of "Beautiful". It would be cool to see these two survivors setting next to each other.
How close are the colors of Beautiful and this?
Raisin pie for everyone!
Fairly similar in color for sure
The paint came back pretty good especially compared to when you pulled it out of its storage/hiding! You guys put a ton of work into getting that shine. The 39 Deluxe and 40 Deluxe and standard are my favorite body styles. Can't wait to see it on the road!
it looks great Matt
Wow ! A lot of work , but just look at that shine ! A sharp looking car ! It's been a very long time since that one has had that much attention . Looking forward to more done on it mechanically , to get it ready for show season . New brake system & exhaust . Baby's got back , lol , one could put a lot of junk in that trunk ! Matt pulling bumpers out of it , for installation . Awesome job , Guys ! Thank you for the post on this 39 Ford Coupe !
i'm blown away! all the hard work you two did really shows. imo you might wanna now throw some paint on the wheels since the rest looks so sharp. i love seeing these cars get the attention they deserve.
Totally agree about the wheels. I was thinking the same thing. I love these "survivors" when the paint shows it age like this one and the wheels and tires are made to look "fresh" and stand out !! A darker/contrasting but brighter color on the wheels so the shiny trim pops along with nicely dressed new tires. "DONE" !!!
It looks amazing! It’s exactly how I’d like it if it was mine.👌🏻
Love the car, nice work bringing it back around 👍🏻
What a great body style car always wanted one
It came out great!
You guys did a great job. Looking forward to the mechanical stuff next, especially the exhaust.
Well done Guys!💯
That is a good looking car.
Damn, that car looks great! I wish I could afford to buy it!!
Looks like it turned out really nice. I happened upon Chemical Guys products a couple of years ago. Very happy with their stuff. Literally used a major brand ( TV guy 😁) for decades and thought it was the best. Chemical guys get some of my business now. All good!
A BUNCH OF ELBOW GREASE=SHEER BEAUTY! NICE JOB GUYS!!!
Can you use Tire Black on the running boards?
Might try that
Amazing looks good it's got a new life thanks to Mike and Steve. Paint got a wet looks shine . Am very impressed. ❤👍😉
Except Mike wasn't there
Car looks AWESOME!!!! I would drive that gem all day long. Matt & Steve take some Motrin cause you deserve it..
I have some 33 dove tone grey, and the tractor and some implement grey, actually looks good on a car
LKN goooooood fellas.
Nice job Matt & Steve, now you got to get those running boards up to snuff! lol
It's so shiny I can see it in Australia 😎
WOW!
Looks fabulous guys great job.😅😅
Really excellent. Had no idea that was possible. I think if you replace the running boards, that coupe would be impeccable. Let me ask: do you have to replace them? Recover them? Not sure how that happens. Also curious what it would cost to fix/replace those running boards. Thx!
So glad you pooled the car out.
Looks great!
Looking good!!
Looking awsome
Just got one word for it NICEEEEEEEEE
Looks very nice
Nice work! It's one of the first cars that you guys haven't destroyed. Ha ha!
We aren’t done yet.
SWEET
Try comet and a wet spun
Comet??? Never used that on paint before.
I’d clean that chassis down to metal as well as possible,get every mechanical system up to speed, replace the wiring harness with a new one, replace the running board rubber and put in a new Lebaron Bonney interior and then cruise for chicks!!!
LeBaron Bonney is out of business
I know this is very much a labour of love.
That said... how much did it cost to do this?
once fixed up, how much would this fetch at auction?
