Loved the little noises and the "bump" while driving - priceless and a lesson to the gold-chainers out there

THAT is my favourite Hotrod look. Thanks for the tutorial, Matt. Good info.

I started following after the Pagoda City Coupe was built. Nice to learn something of the history and building of this car.

These informational videos are solid, thank you. Turning 40 next month and I always looked past the hot rods and focused more on the muscle car era as a kid and through my 20’s and 30’s, now I like the old hot rods and even rat rods haha. You do great work and you’ve got a subscriber for life

She’s a beauty! Wow you have quite the stable of cars!

Just the way I like them. You have a great outlook on the hot rod culture.

Hope the Aussie trip was good. I know a few fellow radio collectors over there.

Still the best modern build traditional hot rod for me!

Se ve tu entusiasmo, y amor por estos autos, eso es inspirador, hace que uno no se siente tan raro, gracias.

Awesome episode

Love the backstory on your coupe. The "Christmas tree" stickers make more sense to me now. Always looking forward to anything you're working with. Keep on wrenching.

Good video. Thanks

Thanks Matt! Been wondering about that one, got a random of you doing the floors in it about halfway through the Forgotten hot rod project, which was the first time I caught you guys! Cool story, lots of real info, a good eye, and a good team. I like what you've done, doing what you like for work instead of fighting work for the hours. Well done.

you did an exceptional job on the build, I have been watching for a good period of time, and love to see you drive it to shows, and round. It matches my late brothers era, though he was west cost "lakester", the same level of detail makes them all just beautiful to me. Keep going as long as you can and have fun!

I'm 73 now. When I was in the BoyScouts in grade school one of the older scouts showed up in a open engine channeled 5 window coupe simular to the Pagoda City coupe. That was it! I was ruined for life. I've never forgotton it and the rest of my life when people ask "if you could have any car in the world what would it be?" Hands down 5 window coupe! Still remember what was painted on the side of it. "The Litl Hobo". Keep building them man and I will keep watching.

Great info

Awesome episode of info on the Pagoda City Coup. Definitely a nice mix of several years and vehicle types of parts and how you built it Matt.

Great episode...always like the PCC! Nice to see Matt, Mike and Steve at Carlisle this past week.

My 57 Catalina came to me in red primer that was shot probably 30 years ago. Last year I went on eBay looking for a set of skirts and found a nice set, cheap.... in the same shade of red primer! Inspired by your Pagoda City Coupe, I think I'll just leave it that way for a while.

Great car thanks!

Awesome rod and awesome video mate. Really disappointed I couldn't get to the ASRF Nationals here in Australia over Easter. Was to be a highlight having my 41 Coupe there and meet you but then my health decided to play up and we had to stay home. Take care and keep the awesome content coming! Brett

y'all make it seem so easy...

Cool ride right there.

Crazy , how a car that is so simple, is so complicated .I live in s jersey .my wife and I drove up to the Pagoda ,just to check it out ,(since I heard you talk about it). We didn't know what to expect ,crazy building ,but I did have a couple hot dogs . You always do outstanding work ,I guess that's what comes from being focused .

She’s a beaut. Love it.

Informative

Very cool Hot Rod!!!! 👍👍

I just watched an Eastwood SEMA video. You were manning the booth taking lessons from Gene Winfield. What an honor. No wonder you're such a good body man. You learned from the best.

My 31 sedan is 5 channel and unchopped and I love it. More modern suspension and engine though.

Like the comparison between the East Coast Hot Rod. Are you going to show a West Coast Hot Rod. Yes looked like a rough ride. Thanks for sharing! 💯👊

I remember the channeled "east coast" style VERY well. Many 29-34 coupes. Also very popular , channeled P/U, 30 all the way thru 37. "Other" (non Ford) on occasion. All bad ass!,,,K,,,

I enjoy the older style Hot Rods. They are rough around the edges and I really liked driving my old 31 coupe. I was wondering about the F-1 steering box and it being used on top of the rail? I do not recall seeing a above the rail steering except early Chevy and reversed Corvair. Is it a matter of building a plate to hold the box and weld to the rail? I also remember the old VW steering a very long time ago. Thanks for your videos!

Looking back...as a kid...looking in little magazines...this is my style...building the Covid Coupe back in this style...love it man.

Hi Matt. WHO SELLS THOSE RADIUS ROD MOUNTS YOU USED

I have often wondered if the channeled look started because of lower body rust. Great looking car that I would completely believe was built by a broke GI after WWII.

We have a 31 Coupe that has a very similar style, even the color. Check it out on our channel.

Are u thinking of selling?

Not my favorite style because the roof is out of proportion whereas the chop with the mild channel looks proportional. But that’s why every car is not grey 😂😂

I am sorry Matt you just seem to be toooo young to have so much knowledge. Thanks for sharing it with us.
