I love that you’re saving the history of our hobby when you can, keep it up guys. To all the negative commenters, please just stop. How many cars have you saved and maintained the essence of what the original builders invisioned? Your channel is amazing and we appreciate all the hard work. Thank you!!!!
I am real happy to see you restoring this iconic 32 roadster back to its former glory. I hope that includes a nice shiny paint job as it once had. Patina is okay but back in the day the shine was part of the hot rodders ideal.
Matt I really support what Gary says and hope that you restore this car to a condition commensurate to what it was in the time it was owned by jack DeLorean, which includes a shiny paint job. You have some good photos to go by. You have several cars where you have restored the original paint/patina but I really feel this one needs to be taken back to its heyday condition.
Oh Joy, Christmas in June. We get to watch Matt, his Dad, Steve and others on a new project that looks like they'll be taking a few trips on the struggle bus with lots of metal fabrication and welding. Of course all of us know that in the end the DeLorean will run and ride like a champ after Matt and Crew is finished.
I can imagine your dad telling you "One project at a time! Finish one roadster before you start another." I like how he thinks. Does it make him crazy how you do things? Trying to juggle so many projects at once.
That's real cool your dad's in the garage working on cars with you 👍 😀 I love when my dad is helping me work on my project witch was his dad's vehicle... great video ty Steve
Tom, Dads are definitely an awesome blessing ❤ I lost my father last June as well, I recall him being a rock in my life, always helping and wanting the very best for me. The good news is I will see him again one day!! Matt and crew enjoy the time with each other it goes all too fast❤❤ and by the way, the many projects are amazing to watch ITG juggle and make progress on!!!😊
The one shop I remember with a 4 post hoist like yours had two 2X12's cut to fit front to rear to lift lowered cars high enough to clear the stands and it also makes it easier to roll the car off the lift.
I love all the projects. But I’m really happy to see you working on this one now. I’ve got 10 or 11 cars I’m doing myself… I can’t even imagine how you keep up with all the projects you have. But I love every minute of it. Keep up the good work
It’s a lot to keep up with but it allows us to stay moving forward when one project is slowed down because of parts or tedious work we can’t really film.
@IronTrap Garage I bought two 1932 Fords (roadster and cabriolet) 61 years ago. (Much better condition than anything you ever had). I bought a "model A" style rear end from "Pages Model A" so I could install 3.54 gears. I can't imagine I would do that if I had two model a style rear ends already !!!!! I looked thru my old photos but can't find any evidence one way or the other. Still have the roadster with the Page's round flange. Took it out for a cruise Monday.
That's a great car to build. It has a fantastic presence. Just an idea but would it make it easier to load/offload from that ramp if you had some lengths of lumber laid along each side for the car to run along? And a couple of ramps at the entry point would help as well. I look forward to following along with the build. All the best, Mart in England.
Wow, I was really happy to see you get the DeLorean taken apart in preparation to Get er done! That is indeed a classic deuce roadster. I was surprised about all the rust though, but not so bad outside. Really looking forward to watching this project! I saw something I have never seen before and at first didn't even recognize. The bumper brackets are turned around for storage I reckon. At first, I saw the one on the driver side and it appeared like something bolted from the frame to the spring perch area. haha Then I saw the other one and of course it hit me that they were the brackets! So dumb, but I had forgotten it had a front bumper. haha Good luck Matt, that's gonna be a nice one!
Tech tip.. a scrap short piece of 2x6(8,10)cut at an angle will help you make that hump jump on the lift easier. I have one scissor lift i have to do that to get my low roadster to go over with out hitting.
Hey Matt, how about an update of your new shop above your old shop? Is it ready to store your cars yet? Nice to see the DeLorean get some much needed love. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.
oowee she got alot of damage from the rain 🌧 😢 but what a great relics to bring back it's going to be rough working 💪 😅 but yeah rewarding in the end 😀
Matts dad seems to be a very good assistant. About time you got his car mobile and safe! Surely with all the stuff you have brought is you have a decent door?
Morning Matt, Mike & Matt's Dad, I was a little surprised to see you starting on this car, for me it would be difficult to keep all the parts separated, & expensive working on multiple cars...ya know, Mike had a decent idea, saving the "Henry Ford" rust, you could sell or give away jars of rust??!!.. anyway, be safe!!! God Bless!!!
Matt, you ought to invest in a small CM chain hoist motor...a half ton or so. Most of that time and energy wasted in cranking that chain hoist up and down would be replaced by the touch of a button. Get more done. Feel less tired. Not endanger your finish with a chain rattling against it. Not a cheap option, but not expensive compared to some of the other tools you own.
I am sure you probably thought of this but I have a suggestion. How about laying down long 2x6 boards on the floor along the outside the lift rails that way the car lowers onto them making the car higher to clear and is easier to pull out over the end rails. Eliminating that big of a bump. If this makes sense
matt there's person on market place around ft worth area that has a bunch of old car parts (like you work with). they want to sell it all. i told them to get intouch with you, but i guess they never did cause as of yesterday the ad was still up. check it out.
Now that you have the body off, you can look for the two serial numbers. Both are on the top of the left frame rail. The front one is under the left fender slightly forward of the steering box. The rear one is under the body near the rear of the running board. Yours may be totally rusted out. I believe the v-8 numbers started with "18" and the 4 cylinders started with "B".
The round flange (not lumpy) on the front of the banjo housing shows that this was originally a 4 cylinder car (if they didn't change the rear axle). This style takes model A style axles; v-8 axles were different.
Incorrect. 32 fords used model a style rears / center sections regardless of engine. Only very very late 32 V8’s got the scalloped flange and they are very very rare.

Waiting on this car to come out for y'all to start working on that Matt I've been waiting I've been waiting since you got it and I watched it everyday that you put it on a video about that car when y'all was getting it out of this that building I've been waiting on it to come out to be worked on
As others have commented about the original Henry rust , bag / bottle it then sell it online . If it's good enough for Whistling Diesel . Jus' saying .
Incinel I was told was used in early ford frames 🤔 I’m sure that that’s why they survived all these years 😎 newer vehicles are toast in ten years 😂 looks like Dad still enjoys some wrenching 👍 has he driven the coupe yet🤔
Surprisingly it wasn’t bad. Just a bunch of splitting nuts off rusty bolts. Lots of bolts were already out of the car from them hot rodding it back in the day
I think that was the name of the bloke who originally owned / built the car . If you go back about a year to the video of them rescuing the car from the garage it's explained in more detail . Hope this helps .
Working on doing the floor. These things take time and money. Unlike fake reality tv we have to juggle working on cars, personal life, etc and doing the upstairs.
@@IronTrapGarage it’s just all pulling to move such a minimal amount. I like being able to run the hoist one handed and have the other free to guide or hold something. I also like a slow speed power hoist. I get you on potential damage but once you use one and you get used to it it’s not an issue. I’m also getting old and have to conserve energy. Old guys tend to run out of that!
Right now what’s your favorite car in the fleet? Matt, Mike, And Steve. Which is your dad’s favorite also. Anybody want to chime in? I can appreciate all of them. The Pagoda city coupe has a special little place in my heart. 😂

Thanks so much! There’s always going to be people that don’t agree but they’re welcome to do what they want with their Henry Ford 32 roadsters.
Gotta love Matt's torch lighting face. 🤘 🎸

He hated it. But it’s part of how we have to do things with the channel..
quality time of father/son working together...doesn't get any better
It’s my favorite!
With Dad an his buddy Chief Insp Moon things are moving right along. Regards to Kate, Mike, an Steve. Stay safe all. 😊
I miss wrenching with my Dad aka my best buddy. Nice work Matt and Mike! Cant wait to see where this project goes!
Matt...how about a video update on your new addition to the shop...thx..
Working on it. Coming soon.
That's real cool your dad's in the garage working on cars with you 👍 😀 I love when my dad is helping me work on my project witch was his dad's vehicle... great video ty Steve
Very cool! I've been patiently waiting for progress on this roadster! 😎🙌
Nice to see you working with your dad. Awesome video!
I'm looking forward to seeing this done! It's great to see your dad helping out as well. Keep up with the great content!!
Your blessed Matt you have your dad still around to help and guide you... almost a year has passed since I lost my dad and I still miss him so much.

Ymm why be negative ..60 yrs ago they should be nicer...and who cares anyway
Looks like a nice, full dash of S.W. gauges, hopefully salvageable!
Also appear to be recessed into the dash....
Very KOOL Matt Going to be a nice project and What up with Mike 34

Always an exciting day when Matt starts a new car 😂😂 great video to watch, I’m looking forward to following the progress
The original team is back ! Good luck with that frame !
12:25 Moon says... " Looking good... come on down,,, easy... Let me look on this side" LOL
Thanks guys, you inspire me.
Central California watching
The DeLorean roadster is an amazing find and it is going to be fun to see it reborn!
P.S. That green Schwinn Panther is pretty sweet too!
Great working with your dad. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
It's great to see work starting on the DeLorean roadster. Something else to look forward to. You guys need a set of four hydraulic wheel dollies.
Any video of upstairs work center yet love to see cars but that upstairs will be so awesome for needed elbow room
Working on it. Soon soon.
Hey guys, it seemed to come apart pretty easy, good job...Ralph
Great footage
AWESOME SHOW I SEE WHERE YOU GOT YOUR SKILLS FROM DADS ROCK
My dad is the best!
This car deserves the free T treatment

Thank you. Waiting for a long time. Looking forward to progress.
This is going to be the coolest build yet
We’re hoping!

We are working on a video as we do work to the new shop. Takes time in between everything else we have going on. An update is coming soon..
A photo of the car as you got it, a photo of the car when it's being driven again, and a bottle of the rust from the tear down, should sell great!
Haha great idea
Oh cool love the content you guys do amazing work but amazing work and thanks for your RUclips channel
man lookin good
I can see Dad is patiently waiting for his ride to be finished.
Look at the cute doggy @12:15
oowee she got alot of damage from the rain 🌧 😢 but what a great relics to bring back it's going to be rough working 💪 😅 but yeah rewarding in the end 😀
Sweet!😁
Matts dad seems to be a very good assistant. About time you got his car mobile and safe!
Surely with all the stuff you have brought is you have a decent door?
I’ll repair the parts that came on the car.
Morning Matt, Mike & Matt's Dad, I was a little surprised to see you starting on this car, for me it would be difficult to keep all the parts separated, & expensive working on multiple cars...ya know, Mike had a decent idea, saving the "Henry Ford" rust, you could sell or give away jars of rust??!!.. anyway, be safe!!!
God Bless!!!
Projects take time and we need to keep videos rolling.. if we only worked on one project we’d have videos maybe 3 times a month instead of 3 a week..
Chief Inspector Moon we'll make sure the project goes smooth
Plenty of brake pedal free travel there. Be a bit of a white knuckle drive if it moved that far when a person needed to stop. 😁😁

All I can say is HELL YESSSS
Need to get rid of that paint chipper hoist and buy a nice electric one! Got one for my shop works great!
Need a video on the bicycles. They look really nice.

Always a better way of doing things but didn’t want to crunch the bottom of the car that wasn’t solid. But that certainly would work.

Paint it silver.
Do something trick with the doors.
Custom gauges that highlight 88MPH.
Question do you use fender welt between the fenders? Looks like your jumped right into it. Thank you for sharing
Good to see you starting on this one! BUT...........we sure do miss Kate!!!
Now that you have the body off, you can look for the two serial numbers. Both are on the top of the left frame rail. The front one is under the left fender slightly forward of the steering box.

Incinel I was told was used in early ford frames 🤔 I’m sure that that’s why they survived all these years 😎 newer vehicles are toast in ten years 😂 looks like Dad still enjoys some wrenching 👍 has he driven the coupe yet🤔
Is the plan still to try and keep what’s left of the paint or are you going to respray it? Only asking since you’ll be repainting the frame.
I heard it cost a lot of money to fill welding tanks now?
Hey Matt hows the second story floor going
Working on it.
Put grab bags of original Henry rust for sale on your website! 😄
Haha great idea!
EVERY GREAT ADVENTURE STARTS WITH REMOVING A BIFOLD HOOD...
I was surprised at how easily the car came apart. Or did Mike do a lot of editing? The torch got lit up only once.
Surprisingly it wasn’t bad. Just a bunch of splitting nuts off rusty bolts. Lots of bolts were already out of the car from them hot rodding it back in the day
I wonder how much "stuff" he has inside the new building above his head. Any weight limits?
Nothing inside yet . No real weight limits considering the size of the structure in the ceiling.
Nice Video.

What ever became of the second floor barn/garage?
Uhhh we’re working on it.. takes time. Not an overnight thing..

I think that was the name of the bloke who originally owned / built the car . If you go back about a year to the video of them rescuing the car from the garage it's explained in more detail . Hope this helps .
Does this one deserve paint? Pontiac?
Pontiac? No. Had a Flathead.
Yeah but how bout Dads coupe?
It’s being worked on in the background off camera…
I think you need a electric hoist
How’s the addition coming
Working on it
Why don't you just put running boards on the lift to keep the cars the same height
Because it will bend the running boards.
How come your so still rammed with projects what's going on with the monster size place above you there
