WOW. You guys change settings ?? LOVE all the older ITG videos blowing up my RUclips feed .. the last 2 days. Usually only get the new uploads. NOT COMPLAINING !!!👍👍👍
@@IronTrapGarage I have no idea what happened then .. but I LIKE IT !! Every RUclips opening .. I get older ITG videos popping up. It's great !! Maybe just the YT algorithm Gods smiling upon me. This is the most fun I've had 'Tubing in a while. Pretty damn cool !!! Hope it happens to everyone !!
Little of both. X-members have been put in cars for the longest time, Matt just so happened to acquire this for next to nothing. Thanks for watching!! -Mike/ITG
Hi, yes the body will be all redone and painted. We are focusing on the chassis and heavy fabrication now and then we will get into repairing the sheet metal and getting the body solid again. Thanks for watching!
Not trying to be a negative Norman but my question is why not make an center x out of box tubing rather than cut up a good frame? That vintage car seems to be gaining in popularity as of course they do over time and it just seems a shame to cut it up.
@@IronTrapGarage I actually saw that but didn't see the episode with the frame build. That's awesome you used those rails! I'm sure you guys appreciate the value of that stuff by seeing your projects!
To be traditional, a Ford X-member would be used because that's the way it was. One biggy reason was getting the Hydraulic brake mechanism and cylinder all ready to go. Great job Matt!
@@jongolliher3806 Possibly it's a regional thing because every hot rod or flatty powered modified I've ever seen didn't replace early thirties technology with later 30s stuff. Most everything was updated with things like finned Buick drums and the master cyl to go with them and any Modified dirt car then used the newest stuff. Anyway, what ever Matt and Mike want to do is cool as they say we can make suggestions but of course he probably will ignore it and do what he likes. It seemed to me that it may just be easier to build an x rather than modify the one he had. It looks good either way and Matt's happy so that's all that matters.
@@matthewmoilanen787 Hi Mathew, Back then it was easiest to put a later Ford X-member in to put hydraulic brakes in older fords. Doing that you got the later brake and clutch pedal assembly as well as the master cylinder mounting holes all set and ready to go. Of course it took some modifying to get the X-member in the frame. Adding hydraulic brakes was the first thing you thought of when building hotrods or race cars from early Fords. Of course you also added all the hydraulic brake parts to the axles also.it was pretty easy on Fords because everything was interchangeable. I started learning about old Fords helping my dad put hydraulics on a 34 Ford and helping work on it at the race track and in the shop. Had you been around dirt modifieds also? thanks for asking and hope you are weathering this virus thing well.

Finally got the cordless death wheel in this one!
Looking good , I like that you show all the thoughts and that goes into a change .....measure 40 times weld once . Great video .
And we don't even show all of the time I spend staring at each night before we film! Haha. Thanks for watching!
Following closely. Considering using frame rails on my 39 running chassis and replacing them with 31 frame rails.
Just watching probably again very cool video ty good tips in this one Steve
Nice job. Looks like it was made for it.

I wish we knew what setting to change for that to happen!!

Nice work, was this something the old builders did back then or something you came up with?

Are you going to cut out and replace the rest of the rusted parts of the body?

what are you going to do with that heap up midlle that is going to interup the flooring

We actually used the rails on another project. Check out our build called the Free-T. -Mike/ITG
