I use hand signals with my '57 Ford 661 tractor, it came with with a red left rear fender running light. Live near a Pa State Police barracks, some times they will remain behind with their 4 ways blinking.
Could do something like I have seen on the front bumper of Cal Look bugs. They wanted to take the turn signal off the top of the fender so they put a small turn signal on the bottom of the bumper. This particular one used a clamp type mount to eliminate the need for drilling a hole. With the bright LED lights available now, small but very bright turn and stop lights could be put on both ends of the car. The wires could be put on the bottom of the bumper mounts. Probably pretty cheap, too.
That old car looked so appropriate rolling around the neighborhood streets of your town that it made all the "modern" cars look out of place! I love hotrods, but thanks for restoring that one!
I’m just starting to leave the off-road scene and fall in love with the 30s 40s era cars. Thank you very much for your efforts it’s helping me find the exact model car I want to start with.
Hey Guy`s. She sounds good as you was on the gas when you passed the camera man, no smoke out the back that I could see. That car is looking so good, so nice to see another one up and running down the road. congrats!!
Great work keeping it as original as you can. Those King Pins could be a bad Issue. But, love the work and the clean up. Especially getting the mouse nest out of the headliner.
HI GUYS FROM VICTORIA AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 love old fords dodges and chevy's of the 30s and 40s 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 im doing up a 46 chevy panel van (panel delivery) from the chassis up 😲 new side panels i have made from scratch . New back doors from scratch aswell
Thanks for all of videos in 21' looking forward to 22'. Thanks for wearing the safety gear with the mouse nest extraction, I think I was having an allergic reaction just watching. Happy Blessed New Year!!
Wow, great find on switch & turn signal , tks all u guys for taking us along an seeing Beautifull on the road again ,now she in good hands rest of her life..Woo Hoo..
What a great drive. No smoke!! I have never seen an aftermarket turn signal switch that could self cancel. Way too cool. And the mice! Talk about hard working. They are unbelievable . I am not sure that I would want to stick my hand into that mess. Good work. One of your best videos.
That car turned out just as the lady owner called it! Beautiful and tasteful fix and preserve the theme and how it would be in the day. You two are awesome! King pins and a couple more little things and it is a museum piece. I would love to own it.
I’m almost liking these old survivor cars more than hot rods…almost lol. This car reminds me of a 37 tudor V8-60 a friend had, it was an all original driver that had just been maintained and was still driving in the mid 90s. It was so fun to drive.
Watching you cruise through town at the end really makes me remember when I was out working in Wilkes-Barre. Streets and the houses look sooooo similar. If I didn’t know any better, that’s where I’d guess you were.
Made the Big Time show; when you're doing a Road Test - Jay Leno style following a camera crew's video cam. Congrats on the 34 Ford, looks & sounds great
Looks perfect, almost original, my only concernswith the single rear light are 1. you will look like a motorcycle at night and some clown may rear end you and 2. If the bulb fails you rear end is completely unlit, safety supercedes originality
Awesome, I love this car Matt! I really like the clever but simple turn signal mount. Glad the mice damage wasn't too severe. Those mice can really wreak havoc on a car! I had a 61 Falcon that I rescued last year, and those dang mice had the entire cowl and vents jam packed! It was a nightmare getting it out, and the pee rotted a lot of the areas that are really hard to get to. Keeping mice out of my car is a top priority during winter storage.
i say Steve gets more face time....does many tasks off camera that mkoves projects along..such a good team now..here is to a great 2022 to Iron Trap and the rest of us..peace and health..
All time best of old school. On road test you could not pass anything as cool as what you were driving. If I had the wherewithall, I would modify it, but the body would remain stock. Beautiful.
How about pulling into your local drive-in for a burger or at least a quik-sak for some gas and a coke and film the reactions of the locals. People expect to see old cars at car shows but to see one driving around in it's native habitat so to speak as if appearing through a time warp would be interesting to see.
Those 1930's Fords all have great style and the old lady was bang on when she called the '34 'Beautiful'. You are right to respect the car's history with only mild changes like in this video. The age appropriate turn signals are the way to go with the car - so many people would have gutted it and lost all the patina and originality. Keep up the good work on all the projects!
Morning Matt! Thanks for bringing us into your shop, your "how to" videos were great, thanks for sharing your builds & finds of 2021, I think Steve is a perfect fit into your shop, looking forward to 2022! Be safe, God Bless!!
Great to see the old girl driven, I'm sure mousey was only trying to insulate the headliner for you !!!! Have a good New Year, looking forward to more of your content in 2022 !!!
Super neat revival! Glad to see the smoke problem is finally behind you! Thanks again for bringing us this. It would look so neat with the spare tire cover.
Friggen' A cool seeing Beautiful coming together and it's first true cruise around town. I hope it gets taken to some shows possibly wining some trophies for you to put up in the shop. Happy New Year Matt, Kate, Mike, family and crew.
Happy New Year Matt and company. The 34 is great and watching the drive was way too cool. I have to agree with Roger concerning the rear light situation. Safety is all important and now there are tons of people out there who don't pay attention during the day much less at night. Happy Trails!!
Those old survivor cars are the most interesting of all. It's kind of miraculous that this one sat there in the barn for so long and nobody grabbed it and turned it into a dragster or some kind of low rider lead sled. The Boyd Coddington types missed it in the 80's and 90's, so it didn't get turned into one of those high tech monstrosities either, and so it gets to remain exactly what it is, a really cool, reasonably well cared for old '34 coupe. I guess as long as you guys have it it'll be safe from the butchers and the hacks. It didn't matter so much back when they were still cheap and plentiful and just considered to be old junk,, but they're getting kinda scarce these days, so it seems like preserving the survivors is the right thing to do. It's only got 12 more years to go and it sees it's 100th birthday. If you guys still have it by then, you'll have to give it a party. It's a spectacular car, and you gotta love it!!!
I wish I saw this video yesterday. I didn't know how to get the lens out of the dome light of my 34 coupe. I figured it out and got my bulb changed. Saw the video a day late.
Great to see that '34 come back to life! 95% of rebuilding old cars is mind numbing grunt work and cleaning. It's worth it though when you finally get to go for a drive!
I loved that car from the day you bought it, I was born and raised Dearborn Michigan in 1946 and my grand father worked for Henry Ford in the early 1900 's as a tool maker, my Dad also became toll & die maker at Ford's. I am sending you something for that car that i think you will like, thanks Matt love your show! Happy New Year !
Drilling thro the bolt to save a hole in the tin ! wow , cool! Arrow turn signals ? In the UK the only time I see lit up arrows are road signs maintenance trucks tell me " pass to my right" not "i'm turning right" so not sure if all the motorists will understand you are turning, & it only takes one!
I had '39 Std. Ford and mounted tail/turn on the ends of the (somewhat stiffer than stock) leaf springs. If red lens could also be Stop. The head light housing contained a small "town" bulb like the Volkswagen that could be replaced by a turn signal bulb.
Matt, if you tape a long piece of fuel hose and tape that piece of fuel line to it to make it rigid ,you can reach in further and get into tight spots . You got a nice collection going on there .
directional solutions are pretty neat guys! i'd like to see updates on the rear and doing the kingpins. also awesome seeing the ol' gal on the road! hey moon!
GREAT VIDEO MATT!!!!! SO INSPIRING!!!! IT IS GREAT TO SEE OLD CLASSICS RETURNING TO THE ROAD AGAIN. WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN AND ENJOYED!!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
The dome light looks like one used in Model A's (Deluxe Coupe, De Luxe Tudor, Standard Fordors where the switch is on the rim. You're right that you need to remove the metal band that holds the lens into the housing. That will give you access to the screws to remove it from the block of wood between the two roof bows.
Matt you all have a blessed New Year's and may the coming year be better than the last two years. Might even get to see you guys in the spring when I visit my brother in PA.
Looks awesome ! So glad she is finally up to snuff enough to really drive it . Hopefully , when you do the king-pins in the front end , you will show us some of that project . It would be interesting to see just how badly worn they are . There are a lot of years of driving on them , probably original pins . Thanks for the update on Beautiful ! Have a happy & prosperous New Year , Matt & ALL ! Love the signals working & that engine sounds quite happy with the cleaned carb !
Looks like the smoke stopped! I hope you know that these early V8s didn't have a crankcase vent pipe, so you must use a breather cap, not a standard oil filler cap, or else the crankcase can't vent.
not period correct but I would leave some fabric softener sheets up in there when you put it all together. mice are really gross, they had taken over my Chevelles interior and I actually finally had to run a torch flame over the metal to get the stench out of it.
That powerstroke driving by on your test drive is a good example of how much smaller this car is than the truck that towed it home (roofline is lower than mirror)
I would think half the drivers have no idea what the hand signals are meaning. Beautiful car, I love it.
I use hand signals with my '57 Ford 661 tractor, it came with with a red left rear fender running light. Live near a Pa State Police barracks, some times they will remain behind with their 4 ways blinking.
I really appreciate how much thought and effort you put into keeping things traditional!

Steve has been a good addition to ITG it seems. It must be nice having him to help with the wiring and such that can be so time consuming.
I’m just starting to leave the off-road scene and fall in love with the 30s 40s era cars. Thank you very much for your efforts it’s helping me find the exact model car I want to start with.

Kingpin Death Wobble. I experienced that on my 1965 Beetle. Not enough to be terrifying but I knew something was not right.
Wow, great find on switch & turn signal , tks all u guys for taking us along an seeing Beautifull on the road again ,now she in good hands rest of her life..Woo Hoo..
The bracket and light set up are a great way to add it and not modify. I dig it.
What a great drive. No smoke!! I have never seen an aftermarket turn signal switch that could self cancel. Way too cool. And the mice! Talk about hard working. They are unbelievable . I am not sure that I would want to stick my hand into that mess. Good work. One of your best videos.

You guys did it just right. Great job bringing the old paint back and preserving the history of another old hot rod
Watching you cruise through town at the end really makes me remember when I was out working in Wilkes-Barre. Streets and the houses look sooooo similar. If I didn’t know any better, that’s where I’d guess you were.
Wow so complete original working on head light dome, Nice zztop 🚩
It's so awesome to see it on the road again !!
Made the Big Time show; when you're doing a Road Test - Jay Leno style following a camera crew's video cam. Congrats on the 34 Ford, looks & sounds great

A second taillight is still stock, as it was on option on Standards, standard equipment on the DeLuxe.
Also enjoyed some of the old building architecture that you drove past. And the car, just great that you have kept it original.
Fantastic car! The turn signal is beautiful! Thanks for taking us on some cruisin ' 👍😉
Nice to see the ‘33 made road worthy once again after such a long sleep. I like that you kept your modifications period correct.
Enjoy it,you have done so much to get it roadworthy.
Awesome, I love this car Matt! I really like the clever but simple turn signal mount. Glad the mice damage wasn't too severe. Those mice can really wreak havoc on a car! I had a 61 Falcon that I rescued last year, and those dang mice had the entire cowl and vents jam packed! It was a nightmare getting it out, and the pee rotted a lot of the areas that are really hard to get to. Keeping mice out of my car is a top priority during winter storage.
Dryer sheets,peppermint oil and lights!
I really like the turn signal light, looks like an old addition. I bet it is really fun to put some more miles on it!
Keep driving and enjoying it.
Nice to see one still intact.
i say Steve gets more face time....does many tasks off camera that mkoves projects along..such a good team now..here is to a great 2022 to Iron Trap and the rest of us..peace and health..
Enjoyed the series. Love the originality of Beautiful.
Hope you and the crew enjoy putting on the miles. I would like you to do updates occasionally.
All time best of old school. On road test you could not pass anything as cool as what you were driving. If I had the wherewithall, I would modify it, but the body would remain stock. Beautiful.
She's a beauty! Congratulations on getting her up and running again!

Morning Matt! Thanks for bringing us into your shop, your "how to" videos were great, thanks for sharing your builds & finds of 2021, I think Steve is a perfect fit into your shop, looking forward to 2022! Be safe, God Bless!!
Wish you could have left the rear mounted spare but it is your car Love your posts.
Great to see the old girl driven, I'm sure mousey was only trying to insulate the headliner for you !!!! Have a good New Year, looking forward to more of your content in 2022 !!!
Cool to watch the whole (ITG) story on this car!
Super neat revival! Glad to see the smoke problem is finally behind you! Thanks again for bringing us this. It would look so neat with the spare tire cover.
Something about that era of car !
Beautiful is turning out beautiful I’m glad to see you be the caretaker of such an amazing example of a original car it’s simply awesome 😎!!!!!
Wow... comfy and cozy mouse house! Love how you solved your signal light issue - looks very legit!
Friggen' A cool seeing Beautiful coming together and it's first true cruise around town.
I hope it gets taken to some shows possibly wining some trophies for you to put up in the shop.
Happy New Year Matt, Kate, Mike, family and crew.

Great looking car. Classic looks
Great to see that '34 come back to life!
95% of rebuilding old cars is mind numbing grunt work and cleaning. It's worth it though when you finally get to go for a drive!
Beautiful is looking great! Excellent work! May the best of last year be the worst of this year for you all, your families, friends and loved ones!
I loved that car from the day you bought it, I was born and raised Dearborn Michigan in 1946 and my grand father worked for Henry Ford in the early 1900 's as a tool maker, my Dad also became toll & die maker at Ford's. I am sending you something for that car that i think you will like, thanks Matt love your show! Happy New Year !
Excellent. You guys did a great job. Now it’s time to enjoy it. I also love the unorthodox use of a sharpie. Very clever.lol.
didnt see any smoke when you were driving i guess driving it helps with that
Thanks, Matt, love the show.
Happy New Tear to all at Iron Trap Garage !!!!!!!
Another fantastic episode.
Love hanging out with you guys.
Very best wishes, Matt, Mike & Steve, have a great 2022.
Cheers Chris (Reading, England)
Another great build
I wonder how beautiful it would be with a new paint job.
That's great a piece of history to cool 😎 👍 👏 👌 what a way to start my day.
Beautiful she is , you have done a terrific job to revive a once loved automobile, have a great New Year.
Cool to see her on the road like that!👍🏻
Drilling thro the bolt to save a hole in the tin ! wow , cool! Arrow turn signals ?

hey moon!
Hey, love the house, been a subscriber for a while, enjoy your videos. I'm sure you will do a great job on your remodeling. Best of luck....Ralph
Yes, Jealousy is a nice word, L0L 👍
Happy New Year to y'all 🎉‼️
Looks so cool going down the road. Love that rear turn indicator. Happy New Year to everyone at Irontrap and all your followers. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍🍺🍺
Congrats gentlemen. Great job!
The turn signal bracket looks good. I like the old signal.
You’se wize guys, ya amaze me! Thanks, just ate half a cookie!
GREAT VIDEO MATT!!!!! SO INSPIRING!!!! IT IS GREAT TO SEE OLD CLASSICS RETURNING TO THE ROAD AGAIN. WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN AND ENJOYED!!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Nice job on the directionals, Matt. Down East we call them blinkas. Happy new year to all.

You're right that you need to remove the metal band that holds the lens into the housing. That will give you access to the screws to remove it from the block of wood between the two roof bows.
p.s. Make sure the bulb works before you put the lens back on :)
I was halfway expecting to see you pull Jimmy Hoffa out of that headliner 😅
Sweat ! You guys had a very good 2021, have a great 22
BEAUTIFUL!
Hi guys.
Best wishes for 2022!
I have done king pins before it is fun. And bushings.
Since you have to tear it apart for king pins you might as well do dropped axle as well.
Matt you all have a blessed New Year's and may the coming year be better than the last two years. Might even get to see you guys in the spring when I visit my brother in PA.
Sharpies, the first Kleekos!
Looks awesome ! So glad she is finally up to snuff enough to really drive it . Hopefully , when you do the king-pins in the front end , you will show us some of that project .

They do make wireless turn signals for old cars and are held on by magnets. I saw this on Jay Leno's Garage.
Looks like the smoke stopped! I hope you know that these early V8s didn't have a crankcase vent pipe, so you must use a breather cap, not a standard oil filler cap, or else the crankcase can't vent.
I have a Lint Lizard designed to snake down your Dryer vent inside the dryer cavity.
It hooks the a shop Vac. Great tool. Check it out at Lowes
has a menacing look in the rear view mirror that one
Well done guys! It’s been great following your journey of getting Beautiful running and driving again 👍
Happy New Year from Nz.
not period correct but I would leave some fabric softener sheets up in there when you put it all together. mice are really gross, they had taken over my Chevelles interior and I actually finally had to run a torch flame over the metal to get the stench out of it.
I'm glad you're getting to drive and enjoy the car. Happy New Year and stay safe.
matt have a happy new year 2022 i hope it will be a good one
Hope there are duals in the near future. 🙂
Can’t believe you didn’t pull the headliner out.
That powerstroke driving by on your test drive is a good example of how much smaller this car is than the truck that towed it home (roofline is lower than mirror)
My question is what will a Pa. State police say when they spot one of the headlights blinking?
I was wondering the same thing.
I am sure you would not get away with it here in Washington state.
It’s an antique car it isn’t required to have turn signals. I doubt they would care.
Cars were made to drive and enjoy. Al B.
yeah that's a pretty cool ride 😎
