Your nephew is a lucky guy having you as a teacher. He is a quick learner, and I can tell a good kid. I know you are proud to have him around. Looks like great help too.
I’ve watched a lot of car restoration videos, but this one is hands down the best. Your attention to detail and passion truly shine through. Amazing job!
You fellows need a fire pole to quickly descend from the top floor to the shop. Perhaps an outdoor porch/patio so you wouldn’t lose space. Might as well throw in a zip line from the house to storage building too!
That display cabinet looks fantastic. Some labels on those bottom drawers in era-appropriate font would both look okay and help keep track of where things are. Great to see all the progress in the new warehouse.
Really enjoy these look at the week, reminds me of when I did Architectural Salvage, and working in our 3 Story warehouse, just all of the little things you do during the week.
AWESOME ORGANIZATION!! I sure wish I was part of it! The buildings look great! Thanks for a truly excellent video! Everybody deserves a pat on their shoulders! What a business you have there!
Saving the OLD FLAT HEAD'S.... I love it. Wish I NEVER SOLD my 39 2 Door Deluxe Sedan back in 1986, We were the 2nd Owners of it and it was Beautifu. Black with the "ORIGINAL INTERIOR" UNDER The 50's Seat Covers. Kick myself every time I think about it. Could have Hot Rodded the Flathead V8 with some stuff I see here. Nice Job Guy's. Wish I was younger and Lived Next door to Ya!!! 😎.
I can hear your impatience to be 100% organized but I think you'll soon realize that you are getting there in grand style. These additions are a giant step forward. Congrats!
I've never seen a hand break this big. Also your student is learning from the best. He's going to make a excellent custom builder some day. Every one is saying that a youngster has to go to college. Me? I'm saying not necessary so. The trades still need really good workers. A plumber, a carpenter, or an electrician are still needed. I don't think that AI will ever replace any of them.
your starter is going over center on the bendix lever because there is a special washer that is missing, it snaps over the ring that is there, one off any GM / Delco-Remy automotive starter should work. If you have a local rebuilder they could supply one. When it goes too far sometimes the engine can't initiate the return and it does sit there and weld to the copper washer but that's collateral damage so to speak.
Organization makes things easier which will allow you to enjoy what you're doing all the more. Love seeing the evolution of the shop/business & teaching skills to young people.
Matt, I do not care what anyone says about your stuff! You have the coolest collection, of stuff! I love the HIGHRISES, on top. I think it would be amazing to see in person!! Been watching quite a while, No sir, I'm not jealous, but boy am I "ENVIOUS", as hell! We've seen how hard, you, Mike, Steve work!! Has the guy that put the 389, poncho, got his car done?
Love the way it is coming together, warehouse is sweet! The upstairs is like a showroom from the 40's and you are taking a young guy along in your nephew!
Your "week in the life of" videos are some of my favorites. They tie the regular videos together to see the progression of the work. I am a bit of a purist; 57 and 50 Cadillacs, a 63 Pontiac Lemans and a 1928 Whippet make up my collection, but your work has made me truly appreciate the hot rod culture. I watch every video, and I am amazed at the commitment of you and everyone associated with Iron Trap Garage!
Awesome display cases. Really looks great. It is too cool that you are bringing Evan along. I like to see the younger guys showing interest in the hobby plus learning trade techniques that he can use the rest of his life. Good job everybody!
Another busy awesome week! That display cabinet is absolutely stunning and a perfect match for the upstairs collection! Go Iron Trap, keep moving forward!
Ah we know the feeling with your upstairs entry blocked. We are having to park in the next door neighbors (a vacant rental) driveway because they (city or county) are replacing our sidewalk and driveway. It's effecting 3 houses as we are part of a little cul-de-sac formed by 3 houses sharing a single driveway off the city street. Ya'll take care and enjoy the rest of the summer.
#1 The starter is missing a cup washer that goes over that ring check other GM starters and you see what i am talking about .i slide a socket over the ring to squeeze the ring down and bring the cup washer over it cup washer goes on first then the ring and it can be a bear to do👍🏻
Matt, Mike, and the rest of your crew, thank you for this video. I enjoy this format in addition to others where you're working on your vehicles. Thanks again. Edit to add: That old hardware store display case is amazing. Thank you for showing it off and congrats on this find and addition to your shop.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy ITG and the work guys do (and share here). My spouse is terminal with respiratory failure and I care for her here at home so I don't get to spend a great deal of time down at my shop right now but you guys really help to keep me motivated and in a good frame of mind. 🤘😎
So very sorry to hear about your wife. We’re happy our content gives you a little something to keep your mind occupied! You and your wife are in our thoughts. 🙏
LOVE the new shelves and this video was truly amazing! You guys are really getting organized! CONGRATS!!!! BTW, I hope you guys have enough collectible insurance!
Keep an eye on your rack system, I've worked with them for many years, and they will fail under heavy load. They always seem to buckle within a couple feet up from the floor. It was not uncommon, just a heads up, for if you keep an eye on them, you can sometimes see signs of them starting to fail. I would recommend having a stash of extra frames on hand, so you don't have to scramble should one buckle. That said, your organization skills are right on track. Best of luck to you guys, and your channel is my favorite on the internet!
In a previous life I moved warehouses for the military. We had 8 person teams for what you are doing and it still was months to get the job done. I applaud your efforts to get this done and I don't envy you other than you are moving cool stuff! Great work enjoyed the video as always!
Display case fantastic old stuff better made using real wood great save, new warehouse will look even better when you get a chance to install lighting. Thanks guys for this weeks update.
I think you guys should get another revenue stream. $20.00 a pop to tour the Iron Trap Museum of speed parts. I might be in PA in March and would be willing to pay to check it out.😉😀
41:00 - either butcher's wax on those wooden drawer rails, or cut strips of super-slick white nylon runners - the weight in those drawers will compound with the binding from humidity for a lousy opening. Just speaking from experience around my non-climate controlled shop.
I seem to remember that the “upstairs” was going to have windows at one time. Also, did you sell the “shop truck”? Haven’t seen it in a while. Love what you’re doing with the ‘38!
if I were you I'd make the pads larger on your mezzanine racks, when you start filling them up you're liable to punch holes through your plywood with all the weight on the "feet" remember the lower sets are on cement!
A little tip old people they go to church go to some church and ask around if they have any extra garage space that they want to rent out usually a lot of older people have empty garages that's what I did years ago when I needed extra space and Storage will rent it out a lot cheaper but they won't put it online cuz they don't know how to do it so ask around
The kid looks like he's really doing good with metal working. Just make sure you show him how to work metal without the fancy brake and english wheel. I'm sure you probably have and just didn't show it. Those cabinets look awesome by the way.
@IronTrapGarage I guess mostly so he knows you don't need all that stuff to get it done. I'm pretty sure you were like me when you started. With hammers an anvil and maybe that pipe stand to bend metal. You get good with the minimum tools then move on to using the brake and things and become even better. Maybe I feel that way because its how I had to do things first.
...was the display unit cheaper than the windows you were going to put in that wall???...if so, does car guy math apply???....(love your content team...keep up the good work!)....
What is the weight rating on those shelves? I have some from costco that are 1/4 tge size and hold 8000 pounds. You may have said in previous videos, but I'm guessing 20k pounds.
Stupid question, but I look at the size of the old parts building and the amount of space in the new one and I just don't see how y'all are going to fit everything in that new building. Am I missing something?
I don't think all that stuff from the old Warehouse is going to fit in the new building are there garages in places to rent in town if it comes to that
YOU CAN WAX THE BOTTOM OF THOSE OLD DRAWERS/RUNNERS SO THAT THEY SLIDE MUCH BETTER. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE WEIGHT OF OBJECTS INSIDE. IT WILL BE WORTH YOUR TIME...CANDLE WAX WOULD EVEN DO!
The kid needs to protect his arms. Welding with bare arms is not a good idea because of UV from the welder. Getting into good practices from the get go will stand him well later in life. Being unprotected is a good way to increase risk of skin cancer.
Also PPE gloves when working with metal & welding burns don't heal quickly plus metal cuts can scar even if you think there clean. I know from experience had piece of metal cut through hoodie, flannel shirt and skinned arm delivering parts.
Your nephew is a lucky guy having you as a teacher. He is a quick learner, and I can tell a good kid. I know you are proud to have him around. Looks like great help too.

We now have the Iron Trap Museum upstairs, love it.

Good to see a young guy spending his time learning! And good of you guys to teach him. I hope he sticks with it.

I would love to see the Diesel conversion that was done to that Ranger.
AWESOME ORGANIZATION!! I sure wish I was part of it! The buildings look great! Thanks for a truly excellent video! Everybody deserves a pat on their shoulders! What a business you have there!
Our pleasure!
The new display cabinet looks super neat! Fits like a glove in the space too. Nice find! 👏👍

Rub a candle on the drawer glides and they will slide easier. A birthday candle will do ok.
Thanks matt steve and mike ,really enjoy the week in the life of videos.
Glad you enjoyed it

The fork truck sounds a lot like the engine on the stand!!!HAHAHAHA
Beleive me I would never say must be nice. I want a tour in person though! Beautiful job Matt and company!
Just continues to get better and better. Thanks for another great video.
Dude!!! Nice to have young backs for the help!! Fun video!!!✌️
Really cool episode
What a clean out this place will be someday😅
Love the way it is coming together, warehouse is sweet! The upstairs is like a showroom from the 40's and you are taking a young guy along in your nephew!
Yes! Thank you!
Bitchin cabinet. You're going to have to buy the neighbor's house to build another building. Just get Mike to 😂

Even the ladders you guys use are old school....... that's serious dedication!
The worlds greatest petrol head man cave . lovin it. Really enjoy the week in the life videos
I like the Ranger project i built many of those back in my Minitruck days
Great cabinets !
Enjoyed this video the young man working on his ride was great, a day in the life is a fun Sunday morning old car fix.
Man the metric ASS TON of stuff you guys have blows my mind, especially considering a LOT of it is very valuable great speed parts and rare stuff
Awesome display cases. Really looks great. It is too cool that you are bringing Evan along. I like to see the younger guys showing interest in the hobby plus learning trade techniques that he can use the rest of his life. Good job everybody!
Really like seeing the interest from your nephew
The display cabinets are awesome!
I've been away for a while. It is nice to see Kate. You're building quite a nice little family, along with the cars.
Grate job guys love it looking good it look like more convenient for you guy it is coming g along from Steve c from the state of Oregon USA
Another busy awesome week! That display cabinet is absolutely stunning and a perfect match for the upstairs collection! Go Iron Trap, keep moving forward!

I wish you many more.

Haha not a bad idea!
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Hey guys, great video!! The cabinets are cool, great for display and organizing
Cool video 😊
Display is killer!
Check my ‘41 flathead had 60lbs compression on each cylinder, also burns a quart of oil every 40miles guess it’s time to rebuild.😊
Yep sounds like it!
Great video. Time for Garage Sale.
I think you guys have the collectors disease! Yes its looking amazing on all your hard work You been doing.😊

great stuff
Looks like the roadster pickup has gone to a new home.
It’s been gone for a year now
Looks Great. I miss the $20:00 Challenge. I Think you should start it back up in 2025. Add Steve. Make it $25:00 for 2025.

if I were you I'd make the pads larger on your mezzanine racks, when you start filling them up you're liable to punch holes through your plywood with all the weight on the "feet" remember the lower sets are on cement!
Definitely locate the legs above a joist.

You could buy that church next door turn it into an awesome Warehouse I don't think many people go to church anymore
It’s a community center and it’s used often.

Hey Matt, you should have reached out to Matt from Diesel Creek for a forklift, he is also in PA and has something like 12 of them for sale!
We got one thank you

Why show him how to do it without. He will have access to all of my tools his entire life.

It looks like you have way more parts at the old whs than what will fit in the new building, never enough space!
The display looks fantastic!
👍👍
like 1K !

Way less chances of leaks and way easier to install!
@@IronTrapGarage ...you're so right...nothing that full will ever leak!...
There is no way all that fits in your new building. Have you looked for new warehouse space? Keep on trucking! Thanks!
What is the weight rating on those shelves? I have some from costco that are 1/4 tge size and hold 8000 pounds. You may have said in previous videos, but I'm guessing 20k pounds.
Each shelf is rated to 3-5000 depending the thickness of the beam. The uprights are rated to like 20-25,000
@@IronTrapGarage awesome
Those empty radiator shrouds are screaming for mirrors.
Where is all ur cars?? Dads daily and the rest upstairs used to be full
Dads daily is up there. We have 2 cars downstairs too.
👌👍👍👍
looks like no new windows going in on upstair garage now with the new cabinet
We nixed that idea a year ago.
Stupid question, but I look at the size of the old parts building and the amount of space in the new one and I just don't see how y'all are going to fit everything in that new building.

We will need to figure it out I suppose.
I don't think all that stuff from the old Warehouse is going to fit in the new building are there garages in places to rent in town if it comes to that
