Junkyard To On The Road In 25 Minutes - 1939 Ford Forgotten Hot Rod
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2022
- In 2021 we finally wrapped up all of the major work on the 1939 Ford Tudor that we rescued from a local junk yard. The car last on the road in 1958 and we pulled it from the junkyard in Mid 2019. Thanks for everyone that followed along with the build, Old Yankee Speed and Macs for donating parts, and all of our friends that helped get this back on the road!!!

Every time I get the urge to rebuild some car I watch one of these videos and come to my senses.
yes u can do with lego boi
Proper upholstery, white walls, and a paint job and damn that thing would be mint!
My dad’s first car was a 1939 Ford which he bought in 1953. He built a wooden frame inside to keep it together. It ceased running when he stopped at a red light and it caught fire. Lot’s of great memories. Thanks for sharing.
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
Hearing the Y-block fire and idle took me way back. Thanks for saving her.
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.
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.
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!
Watching this build gave me the nards to dig into the floor and cab mount I needed to replace in my 56 Chev pickup. Love the 39
Awesome that’s one of our goals to push others to tackle their projects!
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".
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.
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!
Still, a lot could be done to make it nicer without big money.
My sentiments exactly!
Did they change out the engine?
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.
@@captwar yes, they have an old T bird engine in now...the Y block that came in the car pissed water, then dark oil with a few chunks....
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!
Халтура,покрасили ржавчину на скоро.Чем вы восхищаетесь?
I love a good resurrection ! It's tempting to say, 'finish it', but of course I'm not the one doing the work and spending the money. Well done.
Watching classic old iron being saved, just don't get old. Thanks for sharing 😁👍
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.
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.
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!
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.
Thanks for watching!
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"
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
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
I absolutely want to thank you guys for restoring this old"Baby". It brings joy to my eyes. I really love all those old cars of the 30s and 40s, and the early 50s. "They just don't make 'em like that any more"!
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.
Thanks for watching!
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 !
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.
Thanks for watching George!
One of my favorite model cars to build-60 years ago. Fun to see you guys work, on a completely different level.
Iam sorry but the seats are ridiculous but everything else is awesome great job 👏
Old school lol
@@lifeisgood5288exactly. I could tell they wanted that old style with that pattern
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

There .. where about??
Favorite part was the chance at winning it in a raffle -- darn those rules and regs. Great find and resurrection. More please.
Looking back at this you can really see the difference in "quality" and "value" of the projects and its crazy to see the growth
Loved watching this, all those great tools you have for fashioning sheet metal, and all the help! Mine takes me forever, but I'm doing it alone.
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.
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!
Awesome! Congrats on the new project!
@@IronTrapGarage 41 years in the radiator biz. let me know if I can be of assistance.
Enjoying the rebuild.
I am happy you kept the Patina look.
As long as it drives that is all it matters
What I Love The Most About These Restored Vehicles, They're Made In The Good Old USA, By The Greatest Generation, 👍 🇺🇲
Every generation born in America is the Greatest Generation.
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 !!
Love what you do in bringing these wonderful old hot rods back to life. I envy you for your collection of goodies.
I love sympathetic restorations. Great project. Really enjoy watching your shows.
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
VERY KOOL, I love how y'all show from the tow to the flow across that bridge......I loved seeing the process of restoring the beautiful ride......thanks 4 saving this American work of art & 4 posting
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.
Same
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......🔥
This was an absolute amazing build. You young men showed Ole skool passion and skills for a classic.
i love it, it reminds me of my 2 uncles when i was growing up, one had a 40 sedan and the other a 39 coupe. thanks for bringing back some great memories.
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”
Now this is a gift for the new year! Waited for and watched every episode for the 39. What an absolute treat, thank you!
It was so much fun doing jobs like this with your friends in the good oldDays!Brought back great memories.
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 how you restore a classic car like this.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, the journey was worth it.
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.
It Would've Been a Buzz, Helping You Blokes, A Bloody Good Job🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
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.
Loved the '39 forgotten hot-rod build. That shot where you drive by and the V-8 crackles on the over-run is perfect.
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
This is one of my favorite builds. I enjoyed seeing it again all wrapped up in one segment.
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!
This is why i watch RUclips, absolutely fantastic, the car is alive and amazing 😎😎😎
Had a 39 Delux and a 39 Coupe street Rod. I’m 72 now, I’ll never forget the experience. Thank you for the video!
I liked it when you first brought the car home and moon freaked out great job guys
Good job man. I like very much those old cars. They have the spirit, look and character. Now new cars all look the same. I am thinking to restore my 1972 Mercedes 250. God bless You Men.
Loved watching every minute of restoration. My only disappointment is that you didn't go full restore on it. Fabulous job on what you did! Props!
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
Awesome glad it gave you some motivation! Thanks for watching!
Just like yesterday...... my favorite part was seeing the back wheels come off the trailer on to your driveway!! Another one saved is what I thought ty great video Steve
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.
Definitely brings back memories. The car that I self taught myself how to drive was a 1936 Ford.
Love the way you have such a big shed full of good gear. Fantastic realistic resto
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.
The Rebel Without a Cause auto was a 1949 Mercury.
@@ksman9087 good to know. 👍🏻
Brilliant, the look on your face as you reversed the chassis out of the garage was priceless! Great job 👏.
Really good to see it back on the road!! You all did a great job and I guess I’d have to say the best part of the build is it seeing it back on the road where it belongs. There is to many old cars rotting out there and just going to waste. Good save! Hope to see more videos. I’ve been watching you guys for a lil while and I really like to see this kind of stuff
The first and only ITG build that I stayed with throughout the series. My favorite.
Buen laburo 🍺👍
My favorite part was at the end when you were driving past all those new cars in the junk yard!
One of my absolute favourite cars ever!! Love it
You did this car right. It's a gem. Keep up the great work!
I admire your work and skill. I wish I lived closer so I could experience the rebirth of so many neat cars i remember my grandfather owning and working on in his garage.
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”
I simply love everything about this car. My favorite part of its resurrection though is Matt driving the bare frame!
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.
Thank you for bringing that car back and not deatroying its look in the process. Honestly, that is what I was afraid I was about to watch. So, thank you again.
I like seeing you load this car up on that old trailer. That trailer started a running challenge that still get asked about today. The progression of the shop, channel, and vehicles is crazy too.
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 !!
Thanks for watching!
Agree! Like to see the old beauties saved. So much better than today’s
So much better than today’s plastic cars.
That thing looks badass! Amazing job on the restoration. Back from the dead.
Cars, houses, lives, seeing things restored is a beautiful thing.
Yeah, The sheer amount of water in that sump was crazy, I would like to see it Painted on the outside, (period but not Black), then finish the inside, close to the style you chose for the seat coverings, it will look impressive. I like this kind of engine upgrade restoration. I was surprized the Engine mount points were close to original positions where you didn't have to build great big towers or anything. The new flooring was a must, and very well done.
Amazing that with a bit of money and a lot of patience what your crew has accomplished. Inspirational to someone who loves 39 deluxes.
Sure do
A bit of money?
@@nickjervis8123 right it’s more like a lot of money and a bit of patience
My Dad had a 36 Ford just like that one when I was little. I am 77 now. Thanks for the video.
My dad drove the same car for 30 years. We named it the old ford....my brother and I loved to see dad coming to pick us up on Friday 😊👍👍
This is where I came in for IronTrap. Being form UK I'm amazed that a car so old could even be found at a salvage/breakers yard
Someone had a thought to save it years amd years ago
I think the difference is over here in the UK our bad weather means we salt the roads which basically destroys our cars in 10-15 years by the time a car gets to 25 -30 years old even if its been well looked after it'll need a serious amount of work to did all the corrosion caused by the salt out of it to make it last another 30 years.
So most of our old cars simply rusted away and ended up in junk yards where they were stripped for parts and the metal or what was left of it was crushed.
In the states they have many states where they never need to salt the roads and cars simply don't rust. In somewhere like Arizona you're more likely to have the paint burnt off your car. All cars eventally wear out and cost more than they are worth to repair. So they end up being parked up on someones land and then take several decades to rot away
@@Lamster66... Several many long years ago, strong pound sterling, English buyers came to Southwestern states of USA. Buying up All of the old British classics. MGs, Triumphs, 'Spitfires, 'Bug eyes, Austin Healeys, etc.
Little to no rust, made them ripe for container (had just delivered classic English/Eu home/farm furnishings) voyages ..... back to the UK.
Left' drive, no issue apparently. ;}
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!
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.
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.
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.
Best build so far 😄😀💯
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.
Hey! The "Rust Masters" are at it again. World Class SKILLS!!
Thanks for the Inspiration. Let's Go Brandon!!
Very good job! And I loved you drove it back to its temporary home at the scrapyard.
Wonderful to see that car come back to life. Great job guys. I have a 1969 Torino GT that I restored.
Someone loved that car back in the 50s. Now it's loved again. Cool hot rod!
Did the same thing with my Mustang! Me and my Grandpa found it in the woods in an old barn in upper Utah, on our property, that had been there since 1974. It was also one of our favorite Mustangs, so after no owner turned up, and after a lot of paperwork, it was our. So our mint condition, all original 1967 Shelby GT350 is sitting in our garage, and has not been driven for about 15 minutes.
