How To Build Subrails For A Channeled Hot Rod - Schroll 1932 Ford Coupe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2021
- While Matt waits for his front suspension to be blasted, he wanted to be productive and continue to move forward on the Schroll 32. When we removed the body from the frame, there were almost no subrails left. There were a few small pieces where the body was mounted to the frame, but there was nothing connecting the driver and passenger side. Today Matt is going to build a custom subrail structure that will bolt directly to the stock body locations and eventually be attached to the body. Let us know what you think in the comments below!!

Good to see a RUclipsr using proper safety equipment. (Glasses, gloves, welding hood, respirator, etc.) Thanks for setting a good example for the younger folks. Great videos too.
I’m not always the best to be honest but I’m making an attempt to try and be better with wear my PPE
Matt I really enjoy watching you work through the process of putting these old cars together. In the old days we called people who did the original work on Hot Rods like these Shade Tree Mechanics. That is because with $5.00 worth of craftsman tools, a block and tackle and a large tree you could do everything you wanted to the old cars. Nice to see you honoring those old ways. Also you seem way too young to have all the knowledge you have. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing it with us.
Instablaster...
I wouldn't call this hack work , it's hot rodding , your getting it done !
Hey Matt I'll take your work over store brought any day. Great job looks great.👍
Thanks Jack!
Hey Matt & Mike, great idea with the subframe....I have to mention this, please don't be concerned with the naysayers on how you do things...you are out in the shop, they are not....looking forward to your next video....be safe...God Bless!!!
Very impressive Matt you are the fabrication Sen-sei !
Hey Matt
Really nice job on the sub frame !
It will make further work on the body so much easier once it is installed into the body.
I really enjoy watching you work and figure out the little tweaks and such needed to do this kind of work.
I simply love building , or rebuilding cars and trucks this way.
Last week I brought home a truck load of parts for a future build.
I also bought a new metal building for my shop which will happen in the spring.
It's work, but it's fun !
Be safe and Well
EVERYBODY
Congrats on the new building!
You are not a hack. In fact, you always seem to get it done using what you have. Iron Trap Garage is a channel for guys like me. Allot of the methods you use to get things accomplished, I do too. Not everybody has a fully equipped shop like on some of the other ones on Motor Trend TV. I like those programs too, but yours has become my favorite. Stay true.

Thanks so much! We’re glad some guys get it!
Nice job! Original builder could have done exactly the same thing so Matt is once again cleaning up someone else’s shoddy work!
Nice work and I do the same with the angles, no matter how many times I measure them, the angles are always off unless i clamp and mark it!
Hand down the nicest, cleanest built 32 subrail I've ever seen! Cant wait to see how you tie it to the channeled body! This should help me with my channeled 32 5W.
Thanks Jesse! Just trying to keep it simple but clean!
No muss, no fuss, just good journeyman skills and problem solving. It can be a relaxing hobby!
Thanks Scott!
Mike and his calibrated arm pull 😉
Practicle solutions👍
Too many shows are like “We’ll just walk the tubing over to the CNC square tube bender that we’ve laser scanned and loaded the frame profile into…”
Most of my fab work is done with an angle grinder and a mig
So true! Many people are too afraid to show or do “down and dirty” fabrication. I think I prefer it this way as it keeps with the “soul” of building an Old hot rod!
@@IronTrapGarage I just cut the front suicide spring mount back off my frame for my T project. There wasn’t enough drop to get the early 60s style heavy rake I’m after. It’s a speedway mount that I had already welded in place after bobbing the front of the Model A frame I’m using. I’m modifying it using a piece of heavy wall 4x4 tube to give it more drop.
Really nice work
Not even close to hack work, nicely done.
Thanks for watching!
I think this was excellent execution in creating the sub rails. Came out really nice Matt. I enjoyed this segment of the build very much.
Thanks for watching!
Way better than what it was when you got it in your shop in the beginning
Looks like a fancy bending machine to me, good job Matt
Central California Watching
Sweet! Looks amazing! Shows with a little time and effort you can have what you need without breaking the bank!
That’s the goal!
Very true it's also the same way young guys would have done back in the day !
SUPERB fit and finish - fun to watch you sorting out the fine details!
Thanks for watching!
those blues are killin me
I literally have to do the exact same thing for my roadster and I’m dragging ass about it haha
Get to work! Haha
Thanks for all the videos, and showing how you put the diff vehicles back together. As always be safe. Peace.🇺🇸
Matt, this is terrific! I always wondered how this was done. Thanks for more quality shop time.
Thanks for watching!
Great job mate. Another one of those"dark arts" explained and demonstrated in a way we all can now give it a go👍
How the hell can someone thumb down this video ... spend $50 and build a custom set of subrails...they came out great Matt. Can’t wait to see the 32 coupe come together.
Thanks man!
Your attention to detail is second to none awesome job I’m sure you will find a better and easier way to get this job done in the future!!!
Fantastic job (as always) Matt!
Again great content! LOL haven’t heard “kiss” in a long time, but the 2020-2021 dictionary definition has changed it’s now “ keep it simple student” because after all “every day is a school day!” Thanks Matt!
Great job Matt looking good already, keep up the good work.
Honest opinion , it looks fantastic. Nice job and dont criticize your work. It is well done.
I watch all your videos for the music. Good info too
Great job Matt,a little time you can make almost anything. My 32's all come with Henry steel rails. Thanks for the video
Steve here from aus .
Love the detail learnt so much
Thanks . look forward to more .
👍
Great idea to keep the big channeled body and that was some fancy metal work and hyper welding. Cheers
Clamp, mark, cut ...fast and fool proof. Good job on the whole project Matt.
Thanks Charles!
You made some nice rails Matt. Strong & a good place for other work to base from.
Matt, your sub rails turned out great, it was really nice seeing how you put it all together, awesome job.
Thanks Dennis!
I was glad to hear you say you would box in the notch that clears the roll-bar mounting
plate. Water would get in there and rust the subrails. Box in the openings at the front
and rear of the subrails too. Keep water out. Maybe squirt in some rust-proofing inside
through the bolt holes. ( after all the welding is finished, it could explode )..
Matt, you are an artist. Awesome work.
Great Matt!
Your methods and logic have implications far beyond the rods you focus on. Keep it coming.
Thanks so much!
Hey Matt, very interesting and knowledgeable video, like the way you thought this thru, great job...Ralph
Matt i have the exact thing to do on my pinched 32 frame. And i had no idea on where to start! Awesome video. Thank you! You’re my inspiration
Glad it helped!!
I wish that I could give you more than one thumbs up !
I absolutely love the way you build. Traditional for the most part... and stuff a guy could do in his own garage. You are definitely one of my favorites to watch build. Maybe someday I'll get my hot rod pickup... Maybe :)
Thanks Rob! Just trying to keep it simple and affordable so anyone else could take these ideas and use on their own project!
Nice execution Matt. I used this exact method for building subrails on my '32 Chevy. Because nobody makes them for non-Fords.
Matt you’re truly the craftsman, your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks Kevin! Just doing the best I can with what I have!
That is what I am going to do to my 30 model a frame. Nice job
Can't wait for the floor pan installation.👍
Glad it helped!
Looks absolutely perfect to me, any better would be a waste of your valuable time. Bang on!!!
Thanks David!
Great video and fabrication skills. I learned so much. I love building hot rods because it gives me a chance to make the car stronger and better than the original. With using updated technology. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching John!
I’m really likin this groove you got going here boychik! Good an’ bluesie.....
You are evolving into an outstanding teacher. Great job.
Thank you Eli!
Awesome! In one of your vids you said all the frame blueprints in the world dont matter because they are all a bit different. Darn human manufacturing. Im thinking 2 x 6 x .125 for the main rails. I cant wait. If my spine holds out then I will fab a 30'ish Ford style from scratch with all modern components. Cant wait to start wheeling quarters and panels.
Man...I am learning so much from you...I need to do all this to the Covid Coupe...I can go back and watch the videos and know I am doing it right!
Good idea!
Looks killer! Can't wait to see it connect to the body!
Thanks for checking in Henry
You should copy this, patent it and sell the the hotrod public. I'd think it would help other rodders building a channeled '32. Again a no nonsense high quality approach to construction. Excited to follow this build like all your toys.
We prefer to just give away the process for free here on our channel and share the wealth!
I did the same but I used an oxy torch and heated the tubing to conform to the chassis. Great work your moving a long.
I think you did a great job. The body will be super solid while keeping the old school vibe. More importantly, you have demonstrated once again how any of us can, with practice, take a few dollars worth of steel and solve a problem using craftsmanship and some good tools.
Thank you we appreciate you watching!
That's a good idea. You did a great job
Great video on how to build sub rails. I never really understood why aftermarket sub rails are so expensive. And a great video on how metal moves when you put heat to it. Keep up the fabrication videos.
Thanks for watching!
Phenomenal piece of excellent fabrication. I am in awe!
Thanks for watching Jon!
Matt another awesome video on how it was probably done back then ! Thank you for not only showing but explaining how and why you are doing it ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
Thanks for watching Steve!
@@IronTrapGarage you're welcome ! Keep'm coming !
Nice work and a great way to channel a body. When I was a kid (18) I bought a solid model "A" that was channeled. Who ever built it welded the body crooked to the frame and that ruined it for me because I had no idea how to fix it or the tools. Uncle Sam called so I sold it. Wish I still ahd it.
You have the best music
Looks great Matt 👌 enjoy the video thanks and be safe
Perfect timing. I was just about to go powder my nose when i got a yt-notification. 😇🤠
Great video Matt! As always, I learn a lot from you and now know how to build my 29 Roadster sub rails I gotta build! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
what a generous inside in your knowhow . Thank you very much. this are my favorit videos
Thanks for watching!
Great content Matt.
Informative and entertaining.
A nice blues too..
Reminds me of Gary Moore.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work Matt and Mike. Really enjoyed the video. :)
That seems like a great method and will really strengthen up the body where you can remove it without it swarming on you. I’m a little jealous of your metal yard.
Thanks Gordon!
Great process to tie things together. So many cars from the 20's and early 30's had a lot of wood along the bottom of the bodies, this might save a few of those that some might consider too far gone.
I hope it helps other!
Great to see a craftsman
Nice work Matt, came up a treat. My favourite YT channel by far. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks for watching!
Another great video guys, with great tips and tricks. I don’t consider it cheating, you’re keeping the soul of this old hot rod alive by building these pieces they way they would have been done ‘back in the day’ and on a respectable, everyday person’s budget! But then again it wouldn’t be an Iron Trap video if it wasn’t. Congrats on hitting the 500 video mark too fellas, here’s to the next 500 and many more!!
Thanks for watching!!
Rather than cut and weld, the method I use is torch heat shrink. With this method you heat about 1" wide on the inside and taper to 0 on the outside in a V. Let it air cool completely and see what you have. You can do multiple heats at once as long as you leave about 6" between. If you mark out your tubing and use consistent heats you can do both sides rails at the same time.
I like your approach to doing things. It's gonna be a great project. Keep it up
Thank you!
Great soundtrack! dw
VERY nicely done !!!
Finally reposted this one. Saw it early and was going to watch it after work and it was gone lol
Great Tip's Thank you guys
Super job Matt!
Thanks James!
Great video. Turned out awesome. You're $25 welding table is worth it's weight in gold. 👍
Haha yea not sure how I lived without it before!
Great progress
Nice looking work!
Thanks Steve!
That’s freaking amazing! I may try to make my own for my 29 pickup.
Thanks for watching Dave!
Great job Matt & for not a lot of money. Old School Hot Rodding but with finesse 👍.
Later,
Geof (U.K.)
As you saying we don’t have tube bender I’m thinking 🤔 would be nice if Matt had a tube bender!!!! Still coming out awesome as usual!!!
Very nice. You can be proud of what you created.
Thank you!
Excellent manner to get things done. Thank you.
Thank you!
Looks sweet! Good job 👌
Really great work, i love the way you fabricated it!! It turned out way to good, to be covered. Clamping and markeing works best, everything else fails mostly👍
Thanks for watching!
@@IronTrapGarage It's always a pleasure!
good job! from some piece of rusty metal a piece that looks like it was made by a machine in a factory ... as always a beautiful and instructive video! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Im with you Matt clamp and mark it.
Thanks Barry!
Nice work matt. 👍
Thanks for watching!
AWESOME JOB !
Nice work Matt -gives me ideas for my 29 Essex coupe
Glad it helped!
I’m definitely going to do mine the same way. Great video👍
Glad to hear! Hope the video helps!
I love going to Moses Glick. I think I could go walk around there every day.
It’s fabrication and hot rod heaven! I just think of all the cool stuff I could build with the raw materials!
@@IronTrapGarage Isn't that the way a person should think ! I mean that's the way I think ! It's like learn as you go but that gives a person experience for maybe a bigger project later !
