been watchin some of your videos after watchin your Iron Trap interview with Matt... its taken 50 years for me to fall in love with traditional Ford hot rods , my growing up it was as they came from the factory w/ small block chevys lol
Keep up the good work! There is an essence about old iron, the bangers, flatheads etc have a feel all their own. Quirky and fun, most fun you can have at the 100 hp area. I'm one of the few still making mechanical brakes work great and people are always stunned... An old timer once told me this that I still follow to this day. "Its more fun to try to go fast in a slow car than to go slow in a fast car"
I've been in several arguments about mechanical brakes as I also find them to function well, if adjusted correctly. After many miles on both, I will say that the juice brakes are easier to service and maintain, but in no way are mechanical brakes as bad as guys make them out to be. Throw some cast iron drums on, and the brake fade stops, I'm not sure what more you could ask for! Anyways...thanks for watching!
Not a good video? Stop that right now! This is my new favorite channel. I love the stance that you're taking on early hot rods. I have had my late grandfather's 1930 model A for about a year now, and your dual updraft video blew my mind. I love the idea of a car that looks stock with the hood down, and basically sounds stock. But add some more compression, and some more air? No more up hill at 15mph! I would imagine it's like playing imaginary "cops and robbers" as an adult. Keep up the great work! Every video has been awesome! P.S. if you ever come across another dual updraft manifold, uh, I want that real bad!
I just want every video to be the best one yet! I am definitely my own worst critic! That's really cool you have your grandpa's model A! I come across dual intakes occasionally, I'll put ya on the list for one! Thanks for watching!
Hey Matt , Iv`e just been out in my "traditional hot rod" bumpy ,noisy and now I smell of oil !!! BUT I am smiling 😁.I love your videos - they make mine look amateurish to say the least .Keep em coming.
Totally Agree! Traditional Rods are the best. I grew up in the woods of the eastside of the W.A. Being an 1982 baby myself. I run a 31 A coupe with an early oldsmobile and am collecting parts for a 32 Ford pickup.
I have a 1936 Plymouth coupe I’m building. Straight six, triple single intake, manual transmission. Made of steel. It’s precious to me as it’s a tribute to my grandfather and the racecar he built. At car shows it’s a solid attention getter
I have to agree, the old stuff is a lot of fun. I've done bangers, I've done flatheads all great fun. I don't need the candy paint. Now, I can always find something I like on other cars. To each his own.

I agree. All these old man hot rods out there with their red paint, new car interiors, and shaved everything suck ! Nobody wants them, and they have ruined irreplaceable cars.
I own a 1977 reliant kitten....plastic shell...steel framed,850cc engine....far from you're style of cars...but I'm so bored of all the turbo stuff you talk about...just down to basics does what it says on the tin kinda stuff...hence my subscription...so until I can afford my austin 7....I will watch you're channel...thanks.steve uk
I would have to respectfully disagree with this. My "Bell Auto Parts Special" is currently sitting at about $4k for everything including the OHV engine. It was originally $5.5k but I have since sold off parts I won't be using. My "Susie" roadster is currently about $1k all in. Again...sold parts I wasn't going to be using. My truck is about $12k all in. And admittedly that is a lot of money, but not crazy for a traditional hot rod. I spent good money on the truck to begin with. 7k + 5k in "upgrades". The trick is, to not be in a hurry. When you're paying, I need it now prices, instead of hunting for deals. The price adds up quick!
glad its going good for you-but here in the midwest bodies and i mean junk rusted bodys go as high as $3000- hard to have a project on a budget.the rest i can build.--like your site thanks.@@Seattle_Speed_Shop

Better late than never! Truth be told. I love early small blocks. Great engines. Thanks for watching!
What the crap the cats didn’t come hang out when we were there! I demand more cats in hot rods content !
They may have still been in the slammer, acclimating to the shop? I can't remember if I had them yet. May have been just after you left.
Keep up the good work!

Just bought a 31 model A four banger engine today. Inspired to build a traditional hotrod.
Excellent! Have fun!

Thanks for watching! Love your coupe, and how dedicated you overseas guys are!
I agree with the period correct hot rod. Working on un street rodding my roadster to make it to my liking. Keep those videos coming 👍
Thanks! Will do!
That’s one f*cking nice kitty right there!
This is now a cat channel and we'll be focusing on cat content from now on.(probably be more popular!)
I am with you. I am putting together a 31 5 window with original motor. Thinking of adding two Stromberg 81s.
Totally Agree! Traditional Rods are the best. I grew up in the woods of the eastside of the W.A. Being an 1982 baby myself. I run a 31 A coupe with an early oldsmobile and am collecting parts for a 32 Ford pickup.
Very cool!
Im into period correct hot rods too . I like to fix cars like a kid with a low paying afternoon job would do . Keep up the good work !
thank you!
New subscriber and love the channel already. Learned of it from your podcast with Matt from ITG.
Welcome aboard! And thanks for watching!
Great video. Just a great talk about being you and a loose garage tour 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!

I'd rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow!
Agree 100%, old way or no way... You have any of the stickers left for sale?
We do! Message me seattlespeedshop206@gmail.com
I love the banger too
Cool cars! Name the cat socks.
What! Cat video! Your likes just increased. LOL.
Thanks for the stories. Here's a kitty name for a she "Henrietta".
Good one! Thanks for watching!

I've been looking. Sometimes you gotta be patient! We'll find the correct hood! Hope you have a great weekend.
Hi I live in mill creek and would like to come and talk to you
Hey Steve, give us an email at seattlespeedshop206@gmail.com
Okay, how about naming the girl cat Winnie.........................a female diminutive salute to Winfield.
I like that!
I think we're going with Winnie!
@@Seattle_Speed_Shop cool................do I win a prize? You know.............like a Cragar head for the banger in my 32 sedan? 😂
I agree. All these old man hot rods out there with their red paint, new car interiors, and shaved everything suck ! Nobody wants them, and they have ruined irreplaceable cars.
Yeah, following the trends has ruined a lot of good cars over the years!
Scrape paint off with a razor blade?
Yep, the paint never hardened fully. I'll be showing that in a future video.

Flatheads forever!
100%
Im 48 i know where you coming from
the problem with traditional hot rods is cost of bodys--people are greedy.
