Matt I really enjoy watching you work through the process of putting these old cars together. In the old days we called people who did the original work on Hot Rods like these Shade Tree Mechanics. That is because with $5.00 worth of craftsman tools, a block and tackle and a large tree you could do everything you wanted to the old cars. Nice to see you honoring those old ways. Also you seem way too young to have all the knowledge you have. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing it with us.

So true! Many people are too afraid to show or do “down and dirty” fabrication. I think I prefer it this way as it keeps with the “soul” of building an Old hot rod!

@@IronTrapGarage I just cut the front suicide spring mount back off my frame for my T project. There wasn’t enough drop to get the early 60s style heavy rake I’m after. It’s a speedway mount that I had already welded in place after bobbing the front of the Model A frame I’m using. I’m modifying it using a piece of heavy wall 4x4 tube to give it more drop.

Hey Matt Really nice job on the sub frame ! It will make further work on the body so much easier once it is installed into the body. I really enjoy watching you work and figure out the little tweaks and such needed to do this kind of work. I simply love building , or rebuilding cars and trucks this way. Last week I brought home a truck load of parts for a future build. I also bought a new metal building for my shop which will happen in the spring. It's work, but it's fun ! Be safe and Well EVERYBODY

Very impressive Matt you are the fabrication Sen-sei !

Hey Matt & Mike, great idea with the subframe....I have to mention this, please don't be concerned with the naysayers on how you do things...you are out in the shop, they are not....looking forward to your next video....be safe...God Bless!!!

I wouldn't call this hack work , it's hot rodding , your getting it done !

VERY GOOD JOB

Mike and his calibrated arm pull 😉

You should copy this, patent it and sell the the hotrod public. I'd think it would help other rodders building a channeled '32. Again a no nonsense high quality approach to construction. Excited to follow this build like all your toys.

Great soundtrack! dw

I was glad to hear you say you would box in the notch that clears the roll-bar mounting plate. Water would get in there and rust the subrails. Box in the openings at the front and rear of the subrails too. Keep water out. Maybe squirt in some rust-proofing inside through the bolt holes. ( after all the welding is finished, it could explode )..

Nice looking work!

Nice execution Matt. I used this exact method for building subrails on my '32 Chevy. Because nobody makes them for non-Fords.

I absolutely love the way you build. Traditional for the most part... and stuff a guy could do in his own garage. You are definitely one of my favorites to watch build. Maybe someday I'll get my hot rod pickup... Maybe :)

Rather than cut and weld, the method I use is torch heat shrink. With this method you heat about 1" wide on the inside and taper to 0 on the outside in a V. Let it air cool completely and see what you have. You can do multiple heats at once as long as you leave about 6" between. If you mark out your tubing and use consistent heats you can do both sides rails at the same time.

Great video and fabrication skills. I learned so much. I love building hot rods because it gives me a chance to make the car stronger and better than the original. With using updated technology. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! In one of your vids you said all the frame blueprints in the world dont matter because they are all a bit different. Darn human manufacturing. Im thinking 2 x 6 x .125 for the main rails. I cant wait. If my spine holds out then I will fab a 30'ish Ford style from scratch with all modern components. Cant wait to start wheeling quarters and panels.

That seems like a great method and will really strengthen up the body where you can remove it without it swarming on you. I’m a little jealous of your metal yard.
