Matt that was so kind of you to have the family over. Giving them the drawing of the car was a great gift and keepsake. The fact that you're doing this for the love of the hobby and not the money makes you a successful person regardless of what's in your checking account. A big thumbs up to you! ~Pat
Matt, that's the best thing you could ever do for these people. I really like the way you guys have looked after this family's history. Excellent job guys. 👍
Wow Matt. Made me cry a bit. I love my family, too. Cars have always been a focus .. in every branch of our family. You can tell this family was also very close. God bless them all. God bless their dad .. and God bless you. What a great moment. Thanks for sharing it .. with all of us.
Thanks Matt! We’re trying to keep it truly “reality” tv. No fake drama, unrealistic deadlines or faked builds. This is what the hobby is really all about to us! Thanks for watching!
Matt, this is your absolute best video ever! If you live to be an 100 year old UA-camr you will NEVER make a better video than this one here. You get it! A big part of this antique car/hot rod thing is about people, memories, connections and not just the metal, rubber and fabric. You had me crying and I don’t know any of you! My hat is off to you. You exposed your heart and character here because you didn’t have to get these people together, but I appreciate that you did!
MATT ,, WHAT A WONDERFUL THING YOU DID .. WHO IN TODAYS WORLD WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE TIME TO HONOR A FAMILY AS YOU DID HERE ,, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND .. THATS A KEEPER SHOW .
For me it was just another hot rod build. But with you bringing the family in for a memorial of their dad made this a special car for me also. I think your a special guy. Thanks
I don't understand why anyone would thumbs down this video, You did an excellent job on the restoration of the vehicle, Then to have the family coming see you, And experience the car, and share memories, is a great way to compete the project. Great job, keep up the great work!
BRAVO! You Sir are a great 'Ambassador' to/for the Hot Rod world. That you cared enough to have the family come to visit, and drive them around is wonderful, and something that they will never forget.
Total bummer that Mr. Skelly passed away! He would have been over the moon with how nice you've brought this car back. So very glad his family got to visit it. It's stories and history like this that truly bring these vehicles back to life. Priceless!
Smiles all around. Matt you made this a great day for so many including viewers. And you even got dressed up in clean clothes, what a special day. By far your car channel is the best, you really get it.
This is cool. Very good of you. When I was 5, I was devastated to find out my dad once owned a ‘36 Ford.... but he had to sell it to pay for my older sister’s birth a couple years before I was born. I remember telling Dad I wished he had kept the car and left my sister at the hospital!! Lol
It is a common story. I sold a full fendered 34 Ford roadster in 1990, a year after my first son arrived. That sale took a big chunk off of the mortgage. That's life.
Hello ! From minot north dakota. Matt what a wonderful job! I've followed this car from the time you got it uncovered, beautiful, just beautiful! An AWESOME thing you did to keep the history of the original builder's alive as well as the family's, the picture gift was just mind blowing the family will treasure it always I'm sure. I hope that family watched the episodes ,or that ITG ,might have made them a copy of those episodes,can't say enough ,WELL DONE IRON TRAP GARAGE !
Thanks to you, and Larry for not doing much to the car, the family was able to connect to their father and grandfather in a way few of us can. In all aspects we are just caretakers of what we surround ourselves with. The fact you want that responsibility of that to someday go back to Barry's family speaks volumes of you as a man. An excellent video to say the least, one that will be hard to duplicate.
Boy if the older fella is his son he couldnt deny him. I think it is so cool that you brought them over and spent some quality time with them. R.I.P Mr. Skelly and I hope he is looking down with a smile.
Awesome job on the 34 Ford, and it was really awesome that you had Barry's son daughter, and grandson out to see it, and have a ride in it! It was really good of you to give the family the drawing of the 34 Ford! 10 Thumbs Up!
Very nice Matt! You couldn't have done it any better with the car and how you made the connection with Barry and his family. This is a big reason why I have been watching this channel from the start and why I will always watch. Your actions speak volumes to your character content. Matt, Kate, Mike, and Moon....You guys are the best!
Matt you’ve got to be the classiest hod rodder around, your passion to find the history of the find, find the owner, clean up the car to perfection and share your experience with all of us is unreal. The topper was giving them the picture which was amazing. Thanks! Kevin
Great job Matt. I knew Barry for years from Race-O-Rama to the Grove, Lincoln, Collectors Toys and Hobbies. I guarantee you he is smiling like you were pulling off your property with his family.
Matt...I love this video...was fighting back tears the whole time(Sshhh don't tell anyone). Man you can be proud of this one...lot of thought and time went into this project...you hit the nail on the head...the Hobby needs more young guys like you to fall in love with traditional Hot Rods/Customs...Thank you for what you do.
Matt, this is such a rare, once in a lifetime achievement, to have all your hard work appreciated and enjoyed by the original family. That was wonderful that you gave them the original painting of the car. You knew this car was very special when you found it. You'll have so many more memories to make, in the coming years you'll own the car. Best wishes to you and yours! Thanks for sharing your excellent restoration videos.
A truly fitting end to the rebuild of the 34 Tudor Matt and Mike. It's was great that the family was able to see and ride in the 34 Matt, their reaction was priceless.💖💖👍🍻
Nice refresh of the Berry Skelly 34. Sad he was not able to see it after you were done but I am sure he had a picture in his head of the car that you helped him remember like it was yesterday. So nice of you to invite his family to experience the car. Good on you.
Matt you really enjoy what you do , but your love of connecting the people with the car of that time is your great's love of all ! I can see you just can't wait for that happen . The 34 was the best of all ............................
I don't even know you guy's (only on UA-cam) that made me teary eye's. GOD please be with that family for the rest of their lives.Great job my friend Matt.....
Great to get the back story from the family. Now that that you have given it a second life, a new saga begins. I hope that you write it’s history down to preserve it with the car for the future.
Just right. Sittin here tearing up and my guys are comin in the office askin what the hell is the matter with you? My only response is "You wouldn't understand". Matt, you restore my faith in your generation.
I think it is great that you had the family experience the car. I do believe you are an awesome advocate and carrier of the torch for hot rodding. I believe the spark was truly passed on with the ride. Thanks for keeping the dream alive.
Great ending to this story. This is one happy car and Every time you talk about it or show the car you get a smile on your face. From the minute you got in the car you had a smile on your face and so did the family. I bet they will smile most of the way home talking about that car and the art that you gave them will keep putting a smile on their face. No matter what happens to this car when your in your 70's like I am and think about it you will have a smile on you face. No matter what you do or build from here on out , you will never have a car that makes you as happy as this one. Thank you for bringing us a long . In doing what you have done with this car you have honored it and yourself .
So awesome to share that history with Barry's family. It was hard not to smile through this video. You did an awesome job on ol car and bringing it back to life.
Excellent video Matt. That area between Hanover and York is like gear head ground zero. Chesapeake Chapter - Antique Motorcycle Club of America had their national meet since 1993 at White Rose Motorcycle Club near Spring Grove. People in the area just seem so enamored with the old cars and motorcyles.
Man Matt , I’ve followed this car from the day you set out to help sort those cars for the family , drooling over what you found in those sheds , and when you said you had purchased that car I was hooked ! You have given it justice and true to its Origins and the family who owned it , to see the emotion of them when you drove I out and the interview and chats during the ride took me back to the first drive when we finished our restoration of our 1930 Chrysler 70 sedan, and the sheer pleasure of seeing it back on the road , and the fun we had after . Thanks man ,
Great job Matt, we know there are two ol Hot rodders looking down with big smiles...I would love to see what they are driving up there, Maybe your next video???
Freaking awesone to get his family there to see the car. Would love to get a older car and do what you do. Love all the old cars and how you are preserving these classics!
Matt that was so kind of you to have the family over. Giving them the drawing of the car was a great gift and keepsake. The fact that you're doing this for the love of the hobby and not the money makes you a successful person regardless of what's in your checking account. A big thumbs up to you! ~Pat
Matt, this shows your character, by including the family and the good memories. My hat goes off to you. Best video ever.
Thank you so much Alden!
That was so cool to see the family there and riding in the car. Giving the 1 off drawing to them was awesome.
Matt, that's the best thing you could ever do for these people. I really like the way you guys have looked after this family's history. Excellent job guys. 👍
Thank you so much Michael!
This is the kind of story that restores my faith in people.
Thank you Dale!
Wow Matt. Made me cry a bit. I love my family, too. Cars have always been a focus .. in every branch of our family. You can tell this family was also very close. God bless them all. God bless their dad .. and God bless you. What a great moment. Thanks for sharing it .. with all of us.
Thank you so much for watching Jamie!

Guy rly sounded like 20 yrs old when we heard him on video. What a great story and ty guys for letting us be a part of it.
Well done, Matt. Very well done.
The smile on your face as you drove the family around says it all.
MATT ,, WHAT A WONDERFUL THING YOU DID .. WHO IN TODAYS WORLD WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE TIME TO HONOR A FAMILY AS YOU DID HERE ,, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND .. THATS A KEEPER SHOW .
That was awesome of you to give them the painting! You are an amazing person MATT!
This is what the car hobby is really about. Thanks for taking all of us along .
The producers on TV couldn't write a script this good. We'll done ITG you are the "bee's knees"!
Wayno
For me it was just another hot rod build. But with you bringing the family in for a memorial of their dad made this a special car for me also. I think your a special guy. Thanks

That is very nice of you Matt to roll the red carpet out for your special guests. You are the man.
It was the least we could do!
Total bummer that Mr. Skelly passed away! He would have been over the moon with how nice you've brought this car back. So very glad his family got to visit it. It's stories and history like this that truly bring these vehicles back to life. Priceless!
love the enthusiasm in that kid
You will never know what you did for that family Matt, your a great man with great character.
Awesome video, it was a heartwarming at its bests.

This is cool. Very good of you. When I was 5, I was devastated to find out my dad once owned a ‘36 Ford.... but he had to sell it to pay for my older sister’s birth a couple years before I was born. I remember telling Dad I wished he had kept the car and left my sister at the hospital!! Lol
Hahaha I bet that conversation happened a couple times here too!
It is a common story. I sold a full fendered 34 Ford roadster in 1990, a year after my first son arrived. That sale took a big chunk off of the mortgage. That's life.
As the nephew said you did it justice.
RIP Barry, Wish you could have been there !!!
You've done the "CAR and the family Proud" Con/Grats!!!!!

The grandson gets it and was into it, would be cool to see him take ownership if you ever sold it.
Very nice Matt! You couldn't have done it any better with the car and how you made the connection with Barry and his family.

Your a good Man Matt. The young guy will end up with that painting one day and will have stories to tell his children/ grandchildren.
Thank you Matt, what a classy end to the saga of the '34.
Matt, this is such a rare, once in a lifetime achievement, to have all your hard work appreciated and enjoyed by the original family. That was wonderful that you gave them the original painting of the car.
You knew this car was very special when you found it.
You'll have so many more memories to make, in the coming years you'll own the car.
Best wishes to you and yours!
Thanks for sharing your excellent restoration videos.
Matt, with all due respect, you are a man of great worth, and this video is a blessed moment. A tip of the hat. 👍
Wow, perfect ending to this chapter of its life. Now it gets to live on and make more good memories.
A truly fitting end to the rebuild of the 34 Tudor Matt and Mike. It's was great that the family was able to see and ride in the 34 Matt, their reaction was priceless.💖💖👍🍻

The cherry moment was gifting the Family the artwork. That is just over the top , Matt!
Gifting the CAR would have been over the too... Gifting the photo was a given
Hey Matt. You clean up well.
Love the 34. Love them Big front fenders. You did that car justice.
Awesome. A+.
Matt the 34 turned out amazing. You are also a amazing person bringing this car back into these people lives.
What a crazy small world. I used to live in York PA and I had Lisa Mulroy as my Kindergarden teacher over 20 years ago. So crazy!!!
You did a great thing today for those folks! Made me smile and cry at the same time!
Awesome
Matt you really enjoy what you do , but your love of connecting the people with the car of that time is your great's love of all ! I can see you just can't wait for that happen . The 34 was the best of all ............................
Enjoyed
You did a wonderful job did a wonderful thing for the family
I don't even know you guy's (only on UA-cam) that made me teary eye's. GOD please be with that family for the rest of their lives.Great job my friend Matt.....
Great to get the back story from the family. Now that that you have given it a second life, a new saga begins. I hope that you write it’s history down to preserve it with the car for the future.
I keep a folder of stuff for each of these cars now to keep the past, present, and future history we have in one place!
I'm speechless. Straight pipes are perfect. UUUUUUUUUUUMM baaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
You are one hell of a good guy Matt! To give them the picture is an amazing gesture on your part. I had tears in my eyes and I don't even know them.
Just right. Sittin here tearing up and my guys are comin in the office askin what the hell is the matter with you? My only response is "You wouldn't understand". Matt, you restore my faith in your generation.
Thank you so much! It was a bittersweet day and we’re so happy the family agreed to let us share it with everyone.
Matt that was very nice of you to take the family of the car for a drive, You seems to be a very nice person, hope to meet you some day
Great video !!! Giving the picture to the family was a really cool gesture
It’s the least we could do!
Great story
I think it is great that you had the family experience the car. I do believe you are an awesome advocate and carrier of the torch for hot rodding. I believe the spark was truly passed on with the ride. Thanks for keeping the dream alive.
Hey Matt you "done good". Thanks for sharing. We all enjoyed the journey.
Nice ending to the story Matt! FANTASTIC!! Good luck in the future with it!

So awesome to share that history with Barry's family. It was hard not to smile through this video. You did an awesome job on ol car and bringing it back to life.
Awesome video, I can't get this smile off my face.
This is my favorite video yet! I think the grandson might be the next hot rodder in the family 👀😎
Excellent video Matt. That area between Hanover and York is like gear head ground zero.

One of the best videos of all car videos I’ve ever seen. And I’ve watched thousands of videos.
Thank you Billy!
Freaking awesone to get his family there to see the car. Would love to get a older car and do what you do. Love all the old cars and how you are preserving these classics!
Thanks so much for watching!
Well done ITG crew and a great tribute to the heritage of this vehicle which will now be extended in your ownership.
Fantastic! You and Mike rock! Very generous of you passing on that amazing drawing. Best Wishes to you both!
