- Опубліковано 1 січ 2022
- In 2021 we finally wrapped up all of the major work on the 1939 Ford Tudor that we rescued from a local junk yard. The car last on the road in 1958 and we pulled it from the junkyard in Mid 2019. Thanks for everyone that followed along with the build, Old Yankee Speed and Macs for donating parts, and all of our friends that helped get this back on the road!!!

Every time I get the urge to rebuild some car I watch one of these videos and come to my senses.
Proper upholstery, white walls, and a paint job and damn that thing would be mint!
After WWII my parents got married and went to Niagra Falls on their honeymoon. The starter on my dad's 1939 Ford did not work and every time they starter out my mom had to get out and push. I can just picture my dad yelling, "Push harder Violet".
I could totally see myself six years ago when I decided to build my 38 Stovebolt chev pickup. It is nearly done and houses a 6.2, 495 hp LS3 with a Tremec 6 speed tranny. I made it myself and there is no more satisfaction on earth than building something like that in your own garage. Good luck with your future builds. Wonderful vid, thanks. A fellow Motor Head
Excellent video. What a poetic ending, bringing the beauty to the location where she had no hope, showing that she survived, and prevailed over the rust of time.
Hearing the Y-block fire and idle took me way back. Thanks for saving her.
Like other comments, I appreciate seeing the car remain mostly original. One of the things I do when I see an old car is to listen to the old engines. Nice little shop you all got for replacing the rusted-out tin parts. I would love to have that specific car. The 40 Fords and their long nose and entire design is so appealing to me.
That smile on your face when you backed the rolling chassis out for the first time is why we do it.
Shared that moment with you, brilliant, thank you.
Please pass your skill set on to the next generation.
One of the reasons i am an avid follower of ITG, this 39 is definitely one of my favourite rides on the web ... thank you for putting it back on the road, we need more people like you!
Watching this build gave me the nards to dig into the floor and cab mount I needed to replace in my 56 Chev pickup. Love the 39
Awesome that’s one of our goals to push others to tackle their projects!
The seats were crazy man ,and that's what we did back in the day !! My father thought we were Nuts ! 😊😊😊
What a fantastic achievement! I felt a real thrill when I saw the new dashboard go in,then I thought,she's on her way for sure now! What a great job! And what a dedicated team! Congratulations to each and every one!
Халтура,покрасили ржавчину на скоро.Чем вы восхищаетесь?
Great start to finish build video Matt.
You could just about hear the other cars in the scrap yard cheering for "Henry" when he drove through the rows of crashed and stacked wrecks back to his almost final resting place.
I wish we could save all the classics.
My buddies and I saved a lot of them, but now in our 60's I think we're the ones that need saving .
Keep the spirit alive Matt. You're doing a great job.
Buen laburo 🍺👍
83 years old car miraculously brought back to life. It's valuable work for historical car. I believe that the manufacturer as well as the first owner of the car passed away. May they rest in peace and long live to the revived car. Thank you so much.
Best regards from Sudan.
What a turn great job 👏👏👏
I enjoyed watching this. My dad has a 1940 Tudor Ford with the stock 249 flathead. He's owned it somewhere around 30 years and it's an ongoing source of happiness for him. This car looks almost the same.
Watching classic old iron being saved, just don't get old. Thanks for sharing 😁👍
Enjoying the rebuild.
I am happy you kept the Patina look.
As long as it drives that is all it matters
It's great how you guys love and respect these cars enough to get them up and running without destroying their soul. To see a car like this in mechanically sound condition, with most of it's original design intact, (except for the engine) and still showing most of the wear, but cleaned up nicely is a treat. There's so many people out there who have way more money than brains who will dump a quarter million into a car and just alter it to the point where the only thing left is the sheet metal, and probably precious little of that!
This is so much better to "take what you have and make what you need", and then the end result is a really cool old car that you can actually drive and not have to haul around on a trailer because you're worried about burning all the chrome off of the engine. You can actually have fun with something like this. There are lots and lots of folks who get it, and their hearts skip a beat and do a back flip when a car like this goes by. Well done, gentlemen!
Still, a lot could be done to make it nicer without big money.
My sentiments exactly!
Did they change out the engine?
I agree. I'm an "original drive train" person here. That's half the fun for me; keeping the old mill running. Treat them nicely and they'll outlast you and I.
@@captwar yes, they have an old T bird engine in now...the Y block that came in the car pissed water, then dark oil with a few chunks....
I liked how you removed the 1940 headlights and fitted the original 39 lights. I owned a 39 deluxe myself it bought back many memories .
I was wondering about the headlights, this explains it for me.
People fitted 1940 lights as they were sealed beam 1939 lights were just a bulb
I absolutely want to thank you guys for restoring this old"Baby". It brings joy to my eyes. I really love all those old cars of the 30s and 40s, and the early 50s. "They just don't make 'em like that any more"!
One of my favorite model cars to build-60 years ago. Fun to see you guys work, on a completely different level.
Absolutely my dream car. I used to look at old pictures of hot rods when I was a kid. The 1939 Ford’s were always my favorite. Maybe one day I’ll be able to get my hands on one. Great work Matt. You couldn’t have built a better car.
Thanks for watching!
Guys, HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Love how you restore a classic car like this.
Props to this guy for doing this in just 25 mins
My favorite part in the video is when you had the drivetrain on the frame and backed it out of the garage and then back in...! You could see your happiness
I love sympathetic restorations. Great project. Really enjoy watching your shows.
By far my favorite build. Most satisfying part was when you finally got the glass installed, that meant the end was in sight. Starting and ending at the yard was a perfect full circle for this project. Now to finish the next build. Onward and upward.
Thanks for watching!
Had a chance to buy a 40 two door sedan, much like your 39, for 150 dollars, circa 1966(minus the Mercury Flathead), if course. At only fifteen, my mother forbid it, unfortunately Got a thing for Y-blocks, so delighted with your choice of 55 T-bird engine.Altogether great build guys !
It was so much fun doing jobs like this with your friends in the good oldDays!Brought back great memories.
VERY KOOL, I love how y'all show from the tow to the flow across that bridge......I loved seeing the process of restoring the beautiful ride......thanks 4 saving this American work of art & 4 posting
Enjoyed the video immensely...I appreciate the minimal "overtalking" and silliness that some car restoration channels have...you just showed us what you did without telling us what you did! Thank you.
Loved watching this, all those great tools you have for fashioning sheet metal, and all the help! Mine takes me forever, but I'm doing it alone.
What I Love The Most About These Restored Vehicles, They're Made In The Good Old USA, By The Greatest Generation, 👍 🇺🇲
Thanks for the up date. This is an exact copy of one I built in 1959 while in high school just before the Navy. Mine was a 292 thought. Used an "Honest Charlie" adapter to original transmission but kept the 6 volt system. No problems with starting even in R.I. Mine was "Folkstone Gray" but with a cherry one owner body. Sure wish I had it back (or yours). Great shows/series for us flathead fans. They sure were fun.
Thanks for watching George!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, the journey was worth it.
You had me 100% until the dash until I saw what you did ,then you had me back . Nice ! 😊😊
This is why i watch UA-cam, absolutely fantastic, the car is alive and amazing 😎😎😎
Favorite part was the chance at winning it in a raffle -- darn those rules and regs. Great find and resurrection. More please.
The timing of this series of videos couldn’t have been more perfect for me. I just purchased a 39 Deluxe coupe over the holidays and I’m bringing it home later this month. It’s an older restoration and doesn’t have all the issues this build had, but following your progress has me super excited about my project. Thanks for the great content. Cheers!
Awesome! Congrats on the new project!
@@IronTrapGarage 41 years in the radiator biz. let me know if I can be of assistance.
Had a 39 Delux and a 39 Coupe street Rod. I’m 72 now, I’ll never forget the experience. Thank you for the video!
When I went into the service in 1964 I had a 1940 Ford Coupe and a 1964 Ford. When a came home I had nothing, both cars were destroyed in the Topeka Kansas Tornado. I was so sad, not just because I lost my dream car, I lost my 1940 Ford and never found a replacement, well not an affordable one.
Anyhow I loved watching your restoration build. I brought back old memories of working on my ford.
This is my favorite hot rod you have built. It is just so honest from the patina to the simplicity of the build. I love bumperless look. And that y-block exhaust note is pure......🔥
I can’t believe just how many of the same parts they used from the model A 8 years later. That’s about the same as what I’m in the middle of doing to my A right now, great job guys!
You did this car right. It's a gem. Keep up the great work!
My dad drove the same car for 30 years. We named it the old ford....my brother and I loved to see dad coming to pick us up on Friday 😊👍👍
I love a decent budget build, as compared to the 12 month jobs, where everything is 100% authentic & people lose their shit if the wrong rims are used on it, or the paint colour is from the incorrect year. This was very enjoyable to watch, just long enough, & as long as it starts & stops safely you're 75% there, well done.
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. I truely LOVE this type of segment. I'd like to see more videos like this. Love watching work videos but this would be a good wrap for all your special builds. (Like dad's daily) when done. Thanks for doing such a great job.
Thanks Greg! That’s the plan to do these after each build is “done”
Just when I think my job and schoolwork is hard, I watch this. Awesome work you guys did here. Massive respect
Brilliant, the look on your face as you reversed the chassis out of the garage was priceless! Great job 👏.
Let me add, i enjoyed the resurrection of the forgotten hot rod to no end! It is pretty much what i described in my other comment but kept its original identity. It cam out beautiful!
That was so cool when you drove the chassis out and back into the garage. I've never seen that before. You guys did a fantastic job, it's beautiful
Very cool!
I like how you kept the rusty spots and just buffed it up. That's a unique way of letting the car speak for itself.
This is the build that got me to follow Iron Trap and still my favorite. Keep up the good work and let us know whatever eventually happens with the "Never to be Forgotten" Hot Rod.
This was an absolute amazing build. You young men showed Ole skool passion and skills for a classic.
Definitely brings back memories. The car that I self taught myself how to drive was a 1936 Ford.
Love to watch old tint get back on the road. It was really funny to see the amount of water coming out of the old engine (what happens to old engines now?). To see the way you took the rear suspension springs being removed that way was also a eye opener. Brilliant
Just like yesterday...... my favorite part was seeing the back wheels come off the trailer on to your driveway!! Another one saved is what I thought ty great video Steve
Really like to see the salvation of the original car with some minor upgrades for safety and performance. Thanks for the journey. My favorite part is the restoration of the body and the building of pans and panels. That task takes skill.
Same
The smile-on-the-dial when you cranked up the motor without the body on says it all - the satisfaction of a job well done.
The first and only ITG build that I stayed with throughout the series. My favorite.
This has been a great trip back to the start of the forgotten hot rod. Good job on the rebuild.
Thanks for watching and following along!
Best build so far 😄😀💯
Oh so glad to see that car being restored mostly original! The Thunderbird engine was a nice touch!
What a great end to an awesome story , so happy to be part of it and watch it come back to life thanks for all the amazing videos over the years Brother !!
Ha this by far is my favorite video !! I just love to see old saved ! Best of health happiness in 2022 and for years to come ! Once again great video men !!
Thanks for watching!
Agree! Like to see the old beauties saved. So much better than today’s
So much better than today’s plastic cars.
Love the way you have such a big shed full of good gear. Fantastic realistic resto
THAT'S ONE HELL OF A RESURRECTION !!! KUDOS GUYS !!!
It takes time and dedication to give life on this car. Kudos to Iron Trap Garage.
I'm not a street rod fan, but was impressed that you retained as much originality as you could. I realise it was a budget build, but the old bugger has retained much of what she was before you started...nice job!
Love what you do in bringing these wonderful old hot rods back to life. I envy you for your collection of goodies.
I liked it when you first brought the car home and moon freaked out great job guys
My Dad had a 36 Ford just like that one when I was little. I am 77 now. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for bringing that car back and not deatroying its look in the process. Honestly, that is what I was afraid I was about to watch. So, thank you again.
Honestly, I thought it was too far gone but it grew on me seeing all the work done and then back on the road. Great job.
That was the idea! Show people you can save some of these cars others have deemed “junk”
*Awesome guys, you're living my dream life!
I could do all of this, ex MMech, welder, logical thinker, dismantler and modifier of cars...
Gives me much joy to watch this stuff happening.
I've LIVED in a factory with cars and caravan projects (yeah Okay Trailers for you U.S. people)
Still got all my tools, 66yrs old Aussie now and mechanics stuffs your back, arms, wrists, knees lol but still would do it ALL again.
Best moments were dopping it on the gleaming chassis and driving it to the yard - simply awesome.
Thanks so much for making a dream come true - again🤩 Great to watch. Cheers BigEars*
Nice job on this old beauty. I had a '40 Ford pickup in the early sixties that I would love to have back. I'm old school (81 years old) so not really into the "rat rod" look, but you guys did a great job.
You guys did a great job. Looks right out of “Rebel without a Cause”. The other sedan looks really cool too, the one that was in the scene, when you brought it back to the junkyard. I hope you can rescue that one too. I look forward to another video. I appreciate all you hard work on these cars.
The Rebel Without a Cause auto was a 1949 Mercury.
@@ksman9087 good to know. 👍🏻
Im still amazed the frame was as good as it was being in that yard so long, the videos on this build were and are such a help for my 36 sedan project and gave me the confidence to take mine apart similarly and follow the iron trap process
Awesome glad it gave you some motivation! Thanks for watching!
Cars, houses, lives, seeing things restored is a beautiful thing.
Really good to see it back on the road!! You all did a great job and I guess I’d have to say the best part of the build is it seeing it back on the road where it belongs. There is to many old cars rotting out there and just going to waste. Good save! Hope to see more videos. I’ve been watching you guys for a lil while and I really like to see this kind of stuff
This is one of my favorite builds. I enjoyed seeing it again all wrapped up in one segment.
This brings back many memories. Around 1966, my older brother bought a 1940 Ford Deluxe, in excellent condition, with a flathead V8. He later put in a 283 ci Chevy V8 with an adapter plate mating it to the top shifter, just as you have in this 1939 model. He passed it on to me and along the way it received a Mercury rear axle and open drive shaft connected to a Chevy 3-speed. It was fun but so uncomfortable. We foolish youngsters wanted a hot rod, but it should have been restored with the original flathead (although originally it had three on the tree -- someone had put in the top shifter later.) It's good to see these old cars still in existence and I hate it when antiques are destroyed just for a movie scene.
I liked that you left it with the original paint, it looks authentic rolling down the road, like somebody's family kept driving it for generations and here it is today....still being driven.
Amazing that with a bit of money and a lot of patience what your crew has accomplished. Inspirational to someone who loves 39 deluxes.
Sure do
A bit of money?
@@nickjervis8123 right it’s more like a lot of money and a bit of patience
One of my absolute favourite cars ever!! Love it
This is exactly what I love. Real hot rods being hotrodded. I may get a lot of hate for this but I hate seeing these things chopped. I know it has been being done for many, many years but just dropping it to the ground and putting some fat tires on it is perfect.
What a cool restoration of these vehicles from the past, good cars that were forgotten by modernism, but leaving the memory of our grandparents and ancestors,people come to see these vehicles reminding them of ancient times. 💯👍💯
Looking back at this you can really see the difference in "quality" and "value" of the projects and its crazy to see the growth
I admire your work and skill. I wish I lived closer so I could experience the rebirth of so many neat cars i remember my grandfather owning and working on in his garage.
I drive a 1955 Chevy Pickup and owning it for only 25 years and watching your video, gives me such a great feeling of men and women who appreciate these vehicles of the past. My wife and I are just enjoying the morning here in Vegas with a cup of coffee, the paper and your video. Thanks and all the best… looking forward to another video of yours! (Btw, a guy flagged me down one time in his brand new Dodge Ram one day to say how much he loved my truck… he also, in hand had is deed/pink slip and told me “I’ll swap you straight across right now…” I politely declined…
As a child in the 50s, I watched my dad work on the 39 De Lux with 4 door. When I was 4 years old I was playing with the door handle when my mom made a turn. The suicide door opened and I feel out onto the road. This video brings back real memories.
Amazing to watch,so worth it to save these old cars which look to hv been to last,not like now.loved the seats especially the tartan.(being from Scotland).A lot of work but well done!
That thing looks badass! Amazing job on the restoration. Back from the dead.
no one forgets a 70 years old classic.
this video is hilarious.
sooooooo, next!
cheers.
Boyd Coddington would be proud of you dudes!
I simply love everything about this car. My favorite part of its resurrection though is Matt driving the bare frame!
Now this is a gift for the new year! Waited for and watched every episode for the 39. What an absolute treat, thank you!
That's nice, imagine being old, and having your little ranch to spend your time after retiring from job, to restore something like this car such a great entertaining.
Decent! Great job! My favorite parts of the restoration were: (1) fabricating the new floorpan; and (2) keeping the original finish on the exterior, enhanced with a good wash, wax, and chrome polishing.
This was my favorite build. After realizing I couldn't win it in the lottery, it motivated me to buy a 1940 Tudor project. Mine is not as rough as this one was but there's a lot of work ahead. Right now I'm not sure if I should thank you or curse you for planting the bug!! Iron Trap Garage is my favorite YT channel. Happy new year to you guys.
Haha we’re happy to pass the disease along! Have fun with it!
