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".

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.
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
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.
You all where so organized or am i wrong....what a job you all are like a living Factory truly a super Project. Blacksmith Theo feeling humble Harlingen holland Greathshop.over There .. where about??
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.
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.
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.
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!
I got goosebumps when you cranked that engine. Stripped down to the wheels and frame and I am grinning like a slap-happy kid. Between this car design (droopy-eyed and low chrome grill) or a bona-fide COE and I'm a giddy girl. And then you put those putrid, ill-fitting seat covers on and I threw up a little in my mouth. OMG! I know I was born in the wrong decade.🤗
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.
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.
Matt! Man, you are just getting started on living! If you are retired, and still functioning, you can do anything you want to do. Just do it! 83 and fell good. Thinking about buying a new Indian. Go on a coast to coast ride. Good luck, and remember this: you ain't dead until they throw dirt in your face. God bless.
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!
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.
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.
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 !!
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.
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
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.
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"
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.
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.
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 !
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!
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!
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
*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*
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 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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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
My brother and I restored a 1939 2door sedan. He put all Chevy drivetrain in it. We repainted it to better than factory condition. We both had a great time driving it. My brother got married and, well, you can guess, he sold the car. Believe it or not for 400.00 dollars. I wish many times we could have that car back. Seeing you drive this one brought back many memories from 1972. I hope you will show future updates on the progress of this car.
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.
The family car when we moved from Rhode Island to Southern Ca. was a 39 Ford 4 door convertible. My father bought it in 41 and sold it in 1967 or 8 while I was in the army. I loved that old car.
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......🔥
Beautiful! I love the look and it's a resto where you just get out on the road and have fun with it. Using retro seat covers was an excellent idea! Most of these cars would've had them anyway. From what I heard; the neutral tone mohair seats were basically just a base material for the owner's choice of what fancy seat covers to put over them. You just can't beat the bulbous high-roofed art deco look of these cars.
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.
One of my first model cars as a kid was a Ford like this and I’ve always loved them. You guys did a great resurrection and it’s a pleasure to watch your labor of art take shape. Makes me smile to see a rescue like this. Thanks.
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 !!
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.

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
Awesome

This was an absolute amazing build. You young men showed Ole skool passion and skills for a classic.
I liked it when you first brought the car home and moon freaked out great job guys
My brother and I restored a 1939 2door sedan. He put all Chevy drivetrain in it. We repainted it to better than factory condition. We both had a great time driving it. My brother got married and, well, you can guess, he sold the car. Believe it or not for 400.00 dollars. I wish many times we could have that car back. Seeing you drive this one brought back many memories from 1972. I hope you will show future updates on the progress of this car.
Favorite part: seeing you wash and clean it up in the end as it is. Great job overall!
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
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.
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”
The family car when we moved from Rhode Island to Southern Ca. was a 39 Ford 4 door convertible. My father bought it in 41 and sold it in 1967 or 8 while I was in the army. I loved that old car.
You had me 100% until the dash until I saw what you did ,then you had me back . Nice ! 😊😊
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......🔥
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.
Love what you do in bringing these wonderful old hot rods back to life. I envy you for your collection of goodies.
18:00, wtf? 😱 Who's idea was that? Pink flamingos on black cloth would've been less of a shocker 😂😂
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.
Love the way you have such a big shed full of good gear. Fantastic realistic resto
Loved this story, loved what you 'all did to such a deserving car :)
You also love watching car restoration? Same :)
Beautiful! I love the look and it's a resto where you just get out on the road and have fun with it. Using retro seat covers was an excellent idea! Most of these cars would've had them anyway. From what I heard; the neutral tone mohair seats were basically just a base material for the owner's choice of what fancy seat covers to put over them. You just can't beat the bulbous high-roofed art deco look of these cars.
You did a wonderful job, restoring this antique beauty that reminds me of the old Hollywood movies. It is a piece of history that must be preserved.
You did this car right. It's a gem. Keep up the great work!
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”
One of my first model cars as a kid was a Ford like this and I’ve always loved them. You guys did a great resurrection and it’s a pleasure to watch your labor of art take shape. Makes me smile to see a rescue like this. Thanks.
That thing looks badass! Amazing job on the restoration. Back from the dead.
The seats were crazy man ,and that's what we did back in the day !! My father thought we were Nuts ! 😊😊😊
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.
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 !!
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.
