Dad's Daily Test Drive, The Free T Updates, & A New Ceiling For The Upstairs!!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.พ. 2023
- This week we have a ton of projects we are working on, but none are worthy of their own video. The week starts off with organizing the shop to create a dedicated fab area where Mike's cabriolet was sitting. Matt also purchased a new sign to hang in the main stop. Steve has been hard at work getting Dad's Daily all sorted, so Matt and Steve take the car for a spin to see what else is needed. Matt has also been hard at work on the Free-T in the background trying to sort out all the bugs that have plagued the car from the start. Matt and the crew wrap up the week with installing the tin on the roof of the upstairs addition!

Well I've been watching you guys for a couple years now. The amount I've learned from you is unmatched. Traditional hot rods have always been my thing. I'm 31 but I believe the hot rods from the 40's-60's were the greatest. Right now I'm working on a 74' Vega trying to build a clone of one my dad's race cars from the 70's. His first hot rod was a Austin Healey 100 with a fold down windshield and they dropped a 283 in it. That was back in the late 50's. We're all from New York and dad drag raced all the big tracks in the northeast. He would've loved watching what you guys do. Thanks again!
Thank you for the kind words! That Vega sounds bad ass!
Matt , Mike and Steve thank you guys for sharing what everyday life is like at Iron Trap Garage !
I love the “Free T” it’s amazing what you built, from what it was. Those were the early days of Iron Trap. Things have come a long way, since then.
They have made some pretty large steps forward.
Forget netflix, the Trap is way more entertaining.
I really like these "day in the life of" episodes.
Always something going on the fills in the blanks of what goes on we don't always see.
I especially like seeing work done on his Dad's daily driver.
Thanks for watching!
The hard work you chaps put in is astonishing, the work ethic is top notch.
Thanks so much!
I love the new building---brand new on the outside, and "perfectly shitty" on the inside with all the reclaimed materials, and old signs & parts on the walls.
Free "T" it is what it is! Crazy Kool!!!
Upstairs is looking great!
Blowing in insulation will also help keep the downstairs toasty.
Thanks for sharing, Guys! The upstairs garage and office space is absolutely gorgeous! How cool that you were able to take full advantage of a week of unseasonably warm weather! SCORE! Enjoy! Be safe!
Bro Harry
Thanks for another , brother!!
Your book shelf organiser I made the same thing year's ago out of Cheerios boxes, or cereal box's. Learn that from a teacher in Elementary school. Your garage looks like a dream garage 👍🏽with all the goodies inside.
That's a great idea!
Great to see you finishing up old projects , like your Dad's daily driver & the Free "T" (one of my favorites) . As well as the upstairs ceiling steel & organizing all of the little things that needed sorting & a final home space for easy finding . Great job guys , getting it all ship shape now !
Anyone can build a car, but The ITG crew isn't just anyone the small group of people in ITG have a huge skill set to where building or finishing a car is not a issue. You guys are building top notch Ford based rods that not only look and sound good they work good. I love watching this show, and I hope to meet you guys at a car show or something in the near future. Health issues have kept me away from the car shows but this year I hope to take one of my sons if not both of my sons to Carlisle. I hope to get to shake your hand as well as Mikes and Sams hands, and see some of your cars up close. The Dads loaner car build looks great I myself could not drive that car and look out over that louvered hood without a huge smile on my face, I'm sure your Dad will have the same problem too. One problem your Dad won't have is that you managed to make his car loud enough to be heard, and sound cool yet quiet enough to ride in the car and not have the engine drone enough that you can't talk in the car, and enjoy the ride. That car has come a long way. Sorry to gab so long. God bless you all, and I hope to see yo at a show soon.
Thanks for watching! We hope to meet you at Carlisle as well!
Another great way to do toe in is go to a hardware store and get two six foot square box tubes. Then Jack up the car level as possible and take off the front wheels and clamp the box tubes about even with approximately three feet going either direction. And then measure at the front of the tubes and the rear until you get your desired measurements. Did this on my 46 CJ2A and 62 VW Bug. Works great.
Hope The Summer of Dad in 2023 will include him taking some clips from daily driving. You all are Awesome to honor your Dad to not only build that car for him, but to wait until it is sound & safe. Now all you need is an Escape hatch thru the office to upstairs. Say a ladder by the outside wall & a hatch opening so you can go up probably a main opening if course. you may be able to also put in a door above the ceiling line to the wall away from the house. You then could put a working hoist to possibly lift & put engines in the "Attic" & create even more space. Ty for taking us along
love the tee shiney!
Very cool video of everything on the old farm 🚜. Educational and fun!
Been enjoying your channel for years and this has got to be one of your best episodes yet. That new AMOCO sign is magnificent. Also, your shop and particularly the upper shop are looking great. What a fun project and a great place to display your "finds". Enjoying watching all your builds and impressed by your commitment to old school methods and usage of vintage parts. finally, cheers to you Steve .
Thanks so much Richard!
Thanks for the updates one the garage being finished looks wonderful. And a day life of iron trap garage. Enjoy watching the videos good job on editing videos.
Thanks guys,
Central California watching
Sure is nice to see the schroll coupe roll 😊
Thank you Matt, Mike and Steve, one of your best videos.
Hint, next time you are starting a thread, example, that streeing rod, place the pipe in the lathe, then using the empty tail stock as to keep the die square, lock the head stock, then start screwing the die onto the pipe, at the same time, winding the tail stock in as you go.
So cool. Excellent video to see behind the scenes
Much accomplished! Well done.
You need to use progressive linkage on the free T so you are only running off the center carb at idle, That is why it`s loading up at idle speed. The end carbs are for high speed use only. Doing this you can screw the idle mixture screws all the way in closing off the idle circuit on the end carbs as they aren`t used at idle. Might help at gas mileage also.
It’s loading up because it has a giant cam in it. If jetted correctly you don’t need to run them progressive. This engine is built enough it can take the 3 carbs.
Cool video! Those Stude hubcaps on your Dad's car look really cool!
I think so too!
love the tee
Great vid! I liked the longer play time. Showed a lot of stuff going on. Small victories are adding up!!! Woohoo!!
I’m all of 8 minutes in and have already had a few moments of “oh that’s how I should do that!” Thanks for the video update! Would love to see a little more of the universal ebrake set up on pops car
Glad it’s been helpful!
I always have to laugh when you guys put it on fast mode ! As it reminds me of the old cartoons and television shows !
Moons tail does some serious wagging
Another interesting video in the days and life of Iron trap garage.
Good stuff. I’m sure Larry is smiling seeing that coupe going down the road.😊
I hope so!!
Matt for being the first Hot Rod that you built it looks awesome ! I'll have go back and watch any videos that you did while building it !
The Pagoda City Coupe was my first hot rod I finished.
Gotta love the cast iron whistle sign.
Lacking a die for a male LH or RH thread can be single point machined in a lathe at your machine shop.
Always fun to get to come into the Iron Trap garage, I told Gene Winfield I was keeping an eye on your english wheel, he laughed.
Haha nice
Love the Free T! It’s how I found your channel and inspired me to start my own channel documenting my T roadster build a late 50s style bucket.
Thanks for the update on the Free T and Dad’s Daily I live those late 40s Fords
Thanks for watching!
Love the upper shop guys.
I like this format of video. Very enjoyable short hour.
Thanks for watching!
Window's really help with natural light, definitely help light thing's up, even those funnel shy lights bring in a lot of light. My Sister had those in hers kitchen. It seem like some one had left the light's on all the time.
The fan is a good fix and looks good.
Just got Time to finish up on the Video. Great update. 👍

Been watching all your videos for past year. This is by far the BEST yet. You guys are so real . Love every one of your projects.
Wow, thank you!
Have you considered solar panels on the shop roof and using the electricity to get mini split gear pumps for heating and cooling? The tax credit is 30 per event on that and insulation
The shop looks super now with the completed rods up stairs and so much more room now race car engines and street driving don't really do well together especially with a lot of cam overlap ,but jumping on it on a straight is where all the fun happens get rid of the florescence Lites and get LEDs the only way to fly they are so much brighter last longer and cheaper to run
They are LED’s.
Dad's daily needs some 49 Lincoln tail lights
I worked at a Dodge dealership that had an office built into an open building. Like your office, tires were stored on the roof of the office. They had probably done this for 20 years until one day they opened the doors and found the ceiling, tires, and miscellaneous parts along with the ceiling inside the office. The good thing is that it collapsed over the weekend when the business was closed.
Luckily I put joists 12” on center across the top that can easily hold anything I’ll put up there!
those old cars are neat i guess... but i'm here for moon.
btw... every self respecting garage has a car bench seat for a office couch. and i've slept on a couple in my time.
The 1932 Schroll Coupe has to be my favorite, it is the project that you were working on when I first came across your channel, a couple of years ago.
We’re partial to it too!
You guys are living the dream.
We’re trying!
You should got the opener that the motors mount on the side of the doors and are very quiet.
Openers I got are quiet and work well. Never really seen that style.
Busy,busy,busy, but fun! 😎 💀
Good work on dad's daily, it doesn't sound like a bucket of hammers rolling downhill anymore!😜 All kidding aside, it's amazing how far that build has come.
Haha yea it has come a longggg way! Can’t wait for him to drive it this summer!
Great video … 😎
Thanks 👍
Found it interesting (non Car) I have a cast on my Left Wrist due to wrist fracture fall on slick ice MN. Noticed Steve's left wrist brace; I can give you a (one) hand also
Morning Matt, Mike & Steve, we have a 2.5 car garage that I have all my fab & machine equipment in, every square inch has been accounted for, in the spring & summer my "shop" spills out onto our driveway.... keep these great videos coming!! By the way, the stance of your Dad's car is nice!! Love your upstairs shop!! Be safe!! God Bless!!
Something came to mind when I seen all your collectibles, magazines etc. Are you planning on heat & AC?
Thanks Mike! Trying to make better use of the space downstairs and get rid of clutter And put tools and machine in place of clutter!
@@IronTrapGarage Matt, I have a buddy that owns a high end chassis shop here in Michigan, a lot of his customers are time & material customers, in other words the cars are in for updates etc. He has figured out where to put shop equipment next to the car being worked on so the technician doesn't have to walk across the shop to use a specific piece of equipment.
Score one for the A Team. Nice Amoco sign.
its got paint!
I love these videos
I just ordered the shirt. I'm excited to get it. I'll be wearing it when we do our reliability run to the Grand Canyon in May. #hooligansinhotrodsonthehighway
Awesome thank you!!
@IronTrapGarage your welcome. I'll get some pictures with the shirt on in front of my car and at the Grand Canyon. My car is definitely perfectly shifty. I have a 1939 Ford standard coupe.
I would love to have dad's daily
Love the idea for the fan on the free t, im in space issues on my 36 ford with a 59a and evans intake for a fan also and may follow your lead 😆
Yea it’s the best way I could think of to keep the engine bay looking “old” and utilizing an electric fan. Lots of options if you look at heater vents and different stuff like that!
Ah yes, lying in the pits on my back in the "50's" at Seekonk Mass speedway setting or checking the toe!!!! 1/4 inch is right. Great show as always.
Haha some fond memories I bet!
What brand thread die did you use. I worked for a tap and die company for many years and always wonder when I see one if it's one of ours.
This was a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A sign like that sold on BJ auctions for 2688 usd
Hi guys shop looks great. Matt you have hair. Lol 😃
What a great video enjoyed every minute I love the Airbnb idea moon is the best
Glad you enjoyed it!
That stonewall is too pretty to cover up. Put that big Amoco sign along the back wall of the upstairs. KUTGW (keep up the good work).
It’s perfect where it’s at.
That Schrol Coupe is killer 😳
Thanks Hank!
It's snowing at west oregon
Great video, tin roof looks great, free-T looking better, may I recommend using a futon in office. Is their anything in particular your looking for I can keep my eyes open for ya. I’m in RI/Massachusetts
I really like the free t alternator you used from your friend Andy. Can you provide the name of his shop please? I wasn’t able to find it by how I thought it was spelled. I appreciate it Matt.
He didn’t provide the alternator. He used the same one on a customer car he built and I made my own mount for it. It’s for a John Deere tractor. You’ll need the matching voltage regulator. Find it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00NVFPMSQ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_XG81AKZRTTBSV4Z3CTAH?linkCode=ml2&tag=irontrapgarag-20
Great video guys, happy to see so much progress on so many projects! Matt where did you end up finding a good die? So many offshore options I’d like to find a good quality one.
I believe I got it from MSC!
There isn't a lot of V-belt wrap around the alternator/ generator pulley. Does it drive OK?
Yeah, thought the same thing. A couple of small idlers maybe.
It works just fine. Belt is nice and tight. No slippage.
That free t is my favorite 😎👍 the rims really set it off. I have tried to message you but it doesn’t go through so could you give your address again. I need some parts 😂😂

Don’t the tiny holes in that cover limit the air flow?
Not at all. Tiny holes every 1/8” equal the same as a few big holes.
Hey guys...
How goes the preparation for coming to Australia for the Nationals ?
I thought the 1/4” toe in was for bias ply tires and 1/8” was for radial tires, I may be over simplifying it
Not sure either! I know 1/4” works better for us on bias!
Wow. I'm #1.

new hair Looking good Hollywood
Same hair. No hat.
Up here in upstate new york we would be getting slews of tickets for loud exhaust.Does pennsylvania allow it?
No louder than any of the Motorcycles, big diesel trucks, or modern muscle cars.
Since you are getting a bigger lathe, is the old one for sale? Thanks.
A friend already has dibs on this one!
Need a old tanker desk
That is a beautiful car, a roadster?
Do you have any of the chrome trim for dads car?
Yep but waiting to make it “one color” first.
Is the Free T for sale? Thank you for the shop update.
It is not
😎💙👍
What's your plans for all those hot rods?
Drive them, look at them, enjoy them. What else?
@@IronTrapGarage Sell me one.😁
What did Steve do to his arm?
He hurt it?
@@IronTrapGarage fare enough
Be cool to have worn leather inserts
Not into severe channel cars
I guess I missed it so what happened to Steves arm?
