No chop or channel ! It`s too nice to cut up. Full fenders & hood,candy paint,chrome suspension, the works. You have enough raggedy rat rods. It`s time to build something stunning !! and a 32 3window this nice is hard to find & does not come along every day. It deserves the best.

Hi guys thanks so very much for powering an old Ford with a Ford engine!!! I'm not anal about it, but sick of seeing 99 out of every 100 old Ford's powered by government motors . I'm an old combat veteran, 74 yrs of age, having been drafted in '67 when I was h/S grad, good job, and driving and building 30s and 50s era cars buying them cheap, rebuilding them then selling or trading for another one. Chevy were easy to hotrod those small block engines were really something! But I put a Chevy in a chevy, mopar in a mopar, Ford in Ford,etc. Mopar and chevy were really fast and easy. I put a 340 in a '35 Plymouth with a 4-speed, I put a 340 horsepower 327 out of a totaled '64 vette , and the 4-speed with it in my '56 chevy Bel-air 2Dr hardtop man that thing was quick for the day you understand. I had a lot of fun , I loved working on ole iron, working with what we had back then.I had a group of five friends my age, we helped each other. My bud put a 348 in a '55 chevy Belair 4 door she was cool, 3on thetree. She was a cool ride. I enjoy watching you guys work it don't matter what you build, these days are so different, so much power in today's drivetrains. I love hotrods, I don't really care how you do them, brings back so many good memories. Keep up the good work, I'll watch and enjoy!!!

That is a very rare intake, I've never seen the Edmunds valve covers either really cool. The 317 in my '56 F100 cruises along with minimal effort. Would love to see the Ram's Horn exhaust manifolds from the big trucks on this one.

Hey Matt, you can never have enough projects!! Love the Lincoln Y block, can't wait to see what plans you have for it!

Glad to see some of those great Lincoln engines being used! Sweet engines and a bit more power! This rebuild has great potential!

Hi Matt, Gotta agree with some of your other comments, no, chop. no channell just a Cool street rod. Can still be period of course but time for a really nice,"Going to Town Car". What ever you come up with look forward to the build.

Great video and great progress on your 32 Ford 3 window. Thanks for sharing.

Damn man, it’s been a long time since the shop was that empty. You have to be pumped to have your shop back. We call that hitting the lottery. Space to work in the shop without moving stuff is so valuable! Happy for yall

Loved seeing the compromises required, and watching them solved as they came up.

That´s a cool project! Got me thinking of the song Hot rod incoln :) "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln." That engine is huge for a smallblock.

Matt...I just got my "Car That Ate My Brain" t-shirt last week (week before I got my Iron Trap t-shirt)! Envious of another 32 going into the Trap! Super excited about another new build. Keep moving forward!

I officially live my hotrod dreams vicariously through you whilst sitting in the UK taking years to finish my 50 shoebox kustom lol

It’s great to see your Dad involved. He looks like he’s enjoying the work. The best part of working on my projects is when my dad is helping.

Y blocks are awesome 👍 lots of low end torque and very cool rumble, I would research the "Hot rod Lincoln" era and go with that theme...

fun video, I would not chop the top. Lookin forward to the next episode.

So many toys to play with, living the rodders dream there Matt. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Your plan for the new 32 project sounds good to me Matt! Slightly chopped High Boy and a perfect Hot Rod Lincoln! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Excellent! Look forward to this build. Shiny paint too!

I love that you're going to run a Lincoln engine in there. I think a good rear end period perfect might be a Dana 44 from a Studebaker. Easy to find gears, easy to find twin track, and plenty strong for a car that weight, and size. I to have Studebaker V8 in my project one of these days soon.

Fantastic project, the only engine that could be there is a flathead, but that Y-block is awesome, so let it there.Old school as always Matt congratulations Dude!

Back in 1962 I has a 33 Chevy coup that was channeled and it had a 53 olds, rocket engine with a LaSalle tranny and a Continental rear end. You might want to give that rear end a try. Can’t wait to see your next video.

Gentlemen’s chop will be perfect ! YBlock is a good choice, if it was mine I’d go quick change rear and a mid 50s metallic darker maroon for paint color, white roll n pleat interior, nice California rake , Lincoln hubcaps or full Moons Love this car !

Love it ! This is true hot rodding !

Fantastic mock-up! It's looking amazing already. Looking forward to your progress on it! #VroomVroom!

No chop, no channel. Go mid 60s with Halibrands/ET wheels (front spindle mounts?) or late 50s/early 60s with reverse chrome steels. Either way get rake out of the rubber. Diamond pattern stitching inside. Fill the roof (it'd make a good video too),

Sweet looking project. Be safe and stay well.

Sick build- HiBoy all the way!! Hot Rod Lincoln!! I wouldn't change a thing.

Awesome project! Franklin Quick Change on a Ford truck rear; like a re-purposed dirt track racer.

My first car was a 1936 5 Window, with rumble seat. That brings back memories. I got my license in 1956. Mine was powered by a 1941 Ford Truck flathead wit Denver truck heads on it. Flycut for a cam.and I still had to use extra thick gaskets to give me clearance for the valves. Great little car. Drove it for 2 years.

These videos are some of my favorites. Mock up, first clean out in 40 years!! . Run the magnesium wheels on this one if you didn’t send them down the road!!

As I said before , I know of only one 32 five window coupe in my area of Ontario Canada , in the last forty ears , a local found a 32 cowl in a field in northern Ontario , piece meal it together finding a roof in one province, doors both from different states , quarter sections . It took forever but he now has a deuce coupe. Then he sees your site , and it seems like abundance of old ford parts . You guys are living in the right place lol. Lucky guys !

I love the fact you have the Lincoln engine!

Salt flat look with full moon Hubcaps and dry lake headers maybe a checkered firewall. I like the moon eye and old style racing cam decals in window's on hotrods. All kinds of cool tricks for old school hotrods.

That’s a sweet little coupe. Already has The Look

My 2 cents worth, a slight chop, channel the width of the frame. I’m really impressed with the way you just stepped up and cut up the coveted K-member. True old school technology. Whatever you decide I’m all for it.👍

Paint? Did you say "Paint", Matt? Hallelujah!!!

AWESOME SHOW

Matt I have to respect always keep your builds era correct, I would love to see your take on a American Graffiti style 32, love the fact you are using a 1957 y block keeping to what was available

With all that torque I would go with the 9 inch rear

Another GREAT video! 👍👍🙂

All steel '32, doesn't get any better than that does it. I'm sure you'll give it the Iron Trap touch and have an enviable ride. You lucky duck. 👍🇳🇿

I love this one like too see what it looks like later!

Morning Matt, Steve & Dad...cool, another project, like your engine & trans choice... Be safe!!! God Bless!!!

Sweet I like the direction your going with it

Nice man, for the past year my dream ‘32 ford was with a 368 Lincoln Y block, albeit bored and stroked. They say 425+ cui is possible through cutting and welding the crank

I'm just surprised and happy you're going to paint this one .😅

32 Ford's actually look good with factory roof not chopped. It would Look good like the early Charlie Ryan album Hotrod Lincoln Guy and Gal leaning on the cowl. Which I believe the car is Red 1932 3 window nostalgic hot rod It's on KZread has the Hotrod race and Hotrod Lincoln song.

Screams out for that Columbia 2 speed rear you found!

What you were talking about sounds really good I think that's the way to go I don't know that I'd chop it though but I'm a tall guy so everybody tells me to chop my 48 truck but I'm looking almost at the roof when I sit in it now and I got to see the lowest I can get it

It's coming together

I love the 32 coupes especially the 3 windows. the 32 roadster is the quintessential Cali hot rod and the coupes are more identified as east coast cars and that is due to us here in Cali having warn temps 80% of the year. It is a weather thing,. The only Lincoln engine that I think would be neater would be the 12 cyl flat head, but they are very rare now and go fast parts would be impossible to find. the 57 - 59 Ranchero 9" is a good rear end for the early hot rod. I used one in a 65 Shelby replica that I built. they are the narrowest 9" made besides the 65-66 Mustang ones that came in the hipo 289 equiped Mustangs. 67-68 Mustang rear ends were wider. I still like the classic quick change rear end like the ones the dry lakes racers used but that was a west coast thing to. Any way I think your little 32 3 window is going to be a heck of a nice rod.

Given that the Y-block has more power than a flathead, I'd consider a disc brake front and maybe even rear. I have lost count of how many projects you are in the midst of now. Not complaining - more cool stuff for us to watch.

definitely a quick change

Hello Matt very cool car! maybe you can find an original set of 3window coupe doors and use the exiting drivers side door as a wall hanger/shop display instead of trying to find the missing passenger side only!

Another cool Rod...just mocking it up made the value go up...Ha ha...will be watching the build!

Love to see an old school project like this come on deck, but I have to tell you, taint gonna come easy, especially if you are planning on going w/ the stock body (and I hope you do, in honor of an EAST Coast 50s style rod, be it high-boy or full fendered style). Between the ultra-long Cad/LaSalle trans. and that fat truck b-housing, you will need acres of room via VERY recessed firewall, (perhaps utilize the old wheelbarrow trick?), if you have any prayer of avoiding a noisy electric fan too.)The long water pump up front doesn't help either) I had a '40 side-shift LaSalle mocked up behind the early Olds in my '36 coupe for many years, and finally decided against using it as I did not want to butcher the 'X' member, OR have to remove both engine, trans., And front end if service/replacement was needed in future. (side-shifts are even more difficult than the coveted '37 Floor shift!) As for rear-end options, if you are striving to maintain the '50s theme, the Olds was quite popular for its ability to withstand abuse; the down- side, it's also quite Wide. The early ones came w/ a 3.42 r&p, the '57- '64 (also Pontiac) were about bulletproof, and had a 9-3/8" r&p, and were even wider, IIRC. Love what you are doing; gives us old-farts hope that Old School may survive a while longer!

Quick change rear end gets my vote 😎

looks on point very cool

Heck guys, killer! I have no suggestions, seems to me you do a fine job of building them, anything I would say to do would just be my personal preference. By the way, this channel is porno for hotrod building! Bloody awesome! Keep it up!

Looking good love your guys mock up on the Ford to many Ida how ever you due it it will look good love it from steve c from state Oregon

What’s to hate? You have a smorgasbord of projects…all worth viewing

57 - 59 Ford rear with a WAR case, 57 Pontiac or Olds rear. Lots of gear selections with any and width would be about right.

Yep he comes over twice a week to help!

We used to fab a flange on the firewall and just recess the whole thing.

A rear well pan will make that all easier. Use a OHV gearbox and diff as well.

If only Y-blocks didn't have that deep water pump! Cool motor, I'd go with an Olds or Pontiac rear, as others have said. I'd like to see a West Coast style in your stable, with a light chop, if any. The QC rear would be true to a lakes runner, but there were plenty of Olds rears out there as well. I'd like the Ardun to get priority on the QC rear, though. If you have another, go for it! Something Moon and something Isky would add an authentic West Coast flavor!

I would go with a 57 t-bird f code engine!! Imagine it with that blown 312 with a quick change rear end and you would have to have cheater slicks. That paxton hat on the carb would look awesome on the finished project. And yes Ive had this in the back of my mind for a while

Matt , you are really starting to get some projects banged out , since the addition of help & the upper building to open up some room. two thumbs up !! and I am the guy that keeps commenting on that chain hoist , & how it makes me laugh 3 guys having to do 1 guys job using it. And yes I received your comment on how you " prefer " using that to a modern " electric chain hoist " . well , all I have to say to that is , yes I am aware that they " invented " toilet paper some time back , BUT ,you prefer still using your fingers to wipe your rear end with , instead of toilet paper ??? ( OH WELL , SAY IT AIN'T SO ) ?? lol, lol, !!

I don't recall seeing you do a cowl steer setup so far, maybe this could be the one? A 57 olds rear axle would look nice under there, and I think you have some of the cleanest 3 window Dearborn steel I've seen in a while. 👍

312 is ford/mercury. This is a Lincoln Yblock. Bigger engine and a bit different than a ford

The 9" out of a 57 Ford pickup should fit grear. Its the same bolt pattern as the original on this car. So you could use matching drum brakes on the front. That would be very traditional.

You gotta love that Lincoln engine with the period go-fast goodies and valve covers... Several people have pointed out that these engines produce A LOT of torque, so it is very important to make allowances for that when finalizing mounts and frame gussets. The available torque will allow the use of a higher-geared rear like the mid-1950s Olds units to provide plenty of zip, and still get decent gas mileage... That was a common swap for these light-weight cars back in the early 1960s... If you ever wanted to use an automatic transmission in an old rod, the early Lincolns used a 4-speed GM Hydromatic transmission... With a little care, those things are bullet-proof...much more reliable and efficient than the early Ford automatics...

on the rear end go traditional use the Ford 9-inch my grandpa and I restored a 56 F100 and it came stock with a Ford 9 inch underneath the back sense you want to keep it 50s I thought you might want that tidbit of information keep on rollin on you guys are doing a great job
