Suicide Front End Pt 1 - Yellow T Roadster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2019
- Today Matt and Spencer work on installing the new front cross member with some help from Andrew. The original cross member was in poor condition and Spencer wants to run a suicide front suspension, so this frame was a perfect candidate for this build. Andrew and Spencer remove the body to cross measure to verify the round cross member is square. Once square it is welded in place, and the frame is modified and wrapped around.

I Like that you across the board, males almost one of each traditionel option!
Suicide Mount, droppes axle, straight axle, tube axle, filled axle, spring over and if Im npt mistanken, all that is missing, is a bobbed and pinched frame, with the grill and hood covering the frame?
And I like that that you go different with engines!
I like that you got a Flathead, a SBC, a y-block, a 289 and a caddy.
So now you are missing a hot banger and a Jimmy six!
Stuff like this makes me want to spend more time on the H.A.M.B again!
Because I love these build and your work!
Can’t wait to see more videos on this project. Keep up the good work
Looking Good, Guys!
I think the suicide front end will look great! Nice touch with the bottom piece of the frame horn. Looking forward to the axle selection. Jack
Thanks Jack, I thought it saved us time making a filler piece and just utilized the metal already there! Call me thrifty or lazy, either way it worked well haha! Thanks for watching. -Matt/ITG
I’m liking this ride, can’t wait to see it with a hemi and zoomies!
Haha that would be rad! -Matt/ITG
Great video as normal Matt I think the front end choice is perfect
Thanks Jamie! -Matt/ITG
"Lemon Tea" some good ole southern tea thanks sean from Athens, Vt
Love it! -Matt/ITG
Looks like it's gonna be really cool
I think it will be too! Thanks for watching Richard! -Matt/ITG
Is there Going To Be Any More Coverage Of Yellow 27 T?
So......do the yellow Hemi heads on the floor go on a hemi that is going in the Yellow T ???? :-)
Haha nahhhh those were just a recent find that I'm selling off. I wish though! -Matt/ITG
Arrgh! Horn chop, my eyes! Frame horns are beautiful. Seriously though, I was hoping instead that YOU would drop that axle. So little of that to be found. Thanks for the vid.
I don't have a jig to drop axles made. Doesn't mean someday I won't make one! Many cars were dropped with a suicide front end and no frame rails... this is just the style Spencer decided to go with. -Matt/ITG
love this channel!keep up the good work Matt. Im in the process of building a 30-31 model a pu. always good to get another opinion on a build. Nobody knows everything!
Hey Gin, Thanks for watching! I definitely agree, my way isn't the best, but I like sharing how I do things to maybe help others get inspired to work on their ride! -Matt/ITG
Assuming that's a Model A frame?? Nice work on dressing that frame horn around the new crossmember.
Hi Bob, Yes this is a stock Model A frame we got with no front crossmember so we decided this a good option to get the car sitting low. Thanks for watching. -Matt/ITG
Matt just put a twist on it I think it'll look cool with the with a different front end love the idea of how you took the bottom part of the frame and rolled around the tube and everything nice nice and tidy that was a great great great thought you're going to go out really flabby are you going to go some jimmy GMC motor in this ride Keep up the good work you got me hooked take care Jumpman do junk man do
Hey Samuel, thanks for the kind words, I thought it was a slick solution for finishing out the frame. We have a 49-53 flathead set aside for this one. Should be a pretty straight forward build! -Matt/ITG
Where is the round tube mounted do you have a measurement from the very front of the original frame?
The body needs to be channelled over the frame rails And it should be powered by a nailhead Buick engine.
all the best :)
looks like ur garage doors r insulated. I painted two squares across each door of my shop with chalk board black paint. now I can hv a list of things to on every car in every bay. makes life so much easier with so much stuff to do. try it....youll like.
Hi Matt, is there a play list of the yellow roadster, I watched ep 1 of the front end, I was hoping to see more on the front and also the rear supension
Hi, We've only done a few videos on it so far, but hoping to get some more updates going here soon! -Matt/ITG
Love the vids! Motivates me to go work on my 36 dodge coupe!
Thanks Garret! That's about the best comment we can get! -Matt/ITG
Great video ,thks
Thanks for watching! -Matt/ITG
sounds like a T- bucket type front end set up not bad i have built a few of them in the past
This style front end has been used since wayyyy before "T-bucket" was a thing. Look at photos from the 20's even! It has been the "cheap" way to get an early Ford low since the early days. We won't be doing a wild t-bucket style suicide front end, much more subtle. Thanks for watching. -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage yes i am aware of that i was just saying it is the type of front sus. that you do find on the T- Bucket
My bad! You're correct, commonly seen in recent times on t-buckets. Thanks for the clarification. -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage no brah we are both right it has been used starting way back but came real popular with the T- Bucket crowd
Great choice on the front end for this car. Is he going for a 50s or 60s style on this build?
Hi Mikey, He is planning to keep it a 50's style build. Nothing ground breaking, just a good fun hot rod! -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage Very cool, My Model A is a drag car from the 60s, yea I am old school and love the hotrods from the 50s and 60s. Keep up the great work matt.
My mistake, I meant to say section a body not channel.
Yeah, on a T I dig a suicide front end! Hope this T and Andrew's doesn't get the vents filled in! Newk from Kentucky
Nope we ain't fillin' the gas filler doors! -Matt/ITG
Matt
Have you ever channeled a car ?
Can you explain how you're using the Tig torch with the button in the handle vs a floor pedal ?
Check the videos on Matt's Pagoda City Coupe.
Hi Richard, as Harold mentioned, do a search for my A Coupe The "Pagoda City Coupe". I did some how-to videos on channeling that car and building the frame. It might help. Every car varies on how you channel a car, but I think those videos will give you a jump-off point. The Eastwood TIG 200 Digital has the ability to setup the weld process and you can activate parts of the weld process by how you press the button on the torch. I set my torch up for pulse and it allows me the freedom to weld on or in a car without having to drag a pedal around. Works better for the work I do! Thanks for watching. -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage Thanks for your input to my questions
Do You Every finish A project? looking Forward To Yellow Roadster.
Projects get finished but some cars I take to a point where a new owner takes over and I just get the hard work of getting it rolling and ready to assemble. This one I am helping a friend get it lot-drivable. I have multiple projects going at once so we can keep the regular content flowing at all times. Thanks for watching. -Matt/ITG
I like the suicide front end
Thanks Gerry, it should help the car sit how we want without major frame modifications otherwise. -Matt/EW
How about a Heidts front suspension with the suicide front axle. Get this rod really low. If it ain’t scraping...
Hi Jesse, Thanks for the suggestion. We're going with a more "mild" suicide front end. Stock Model A front axle with the spring over the axle still. -Matt/ITG
for me I am not real partial to one or the other. If it is going to be ran "fenderless" then of course the suicide front end helps with clearance issues that come up from running the stock front end or position. They are both bitchen in my book.
I agree, it just has to look cool and work well. We'll get it sitting right and looking cool! -Matt/ITG
Can't run shock's with those front end's
Of course you can
@@18andlikeit how
Sure you can. Mount the shocks on the wishbones and the frame. Simple solution. You just have to think outside the box. -Matt/ITG
Much like my wife you ask for input on decisions. Unlike my wife you tell me up front that it doesn't matter and you'll do as you wish. Not sure if I like the glimmer of hope she gives me or the honest statement that you really don't care what my thoughts are. Either way have fun with all "your" ideas on this old girl.
Hey Matt, It's all tongue in cheek, I obviously value everyones input, but I know up front the "suicide front end" argument is much like arguing about politics.. no one wins and everyone just blows a lot of hot air. Thanks for watching. -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage
I was just trying to be sarcastic you guys! Please don't think I was serious. Although there was some truth about my lovely wife's behaviour. Hey there have been countless thousands of suicide front ends and it seems like it worked out okay for them. Honestly I was a bit surprised that the Free T wasn't built that way because you said you wanted to get it on the track. Anyway I'm sorry if my attempt at sarcasm was too lame to be easily figured out. Keep up the great work with Andrew!
Hey Matt, no worries at all, I thought my attempt at sarcasm was taken wrong haha. Hard to translate tone in comments on here! Thanks for the replies. -Matt/ITG
Ugh! That music.
Never liked those style of front ends, think they look stupid
Good thing it isn't your car! -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage I love all the authentic original southern California post war hot rod designs much like what you build Matt the early hotrodders used what they had to make a car lighter stronger and faster with junkyard "Speed Parts" lol or any parts they could alter cut weld or fab together into something beautiful Sean Athens, Vt
Thank Sean! This is exactly what we're trying to replicate with the cars we're building. Use what you have and try to do it affordably. In this case the idea was to save the money for a drop axle and use some metal to make a suicide front end that will get the car lowered down. Very common back in the day! Thanks for following along! -Matt/ITG
Can't even watch iron crap garage intro to long man cave to fake before and after filming is not informative
Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out!
