Still the best hot rod channel on CZcams, keep up the excellent work .
Totally agree. Been watching your channel for ages, love that car. Now I have a name for the 'style' I love. Cheers, love as always, Reading, England.
Thanks so much Kevin!
Two important elements to this build, “time and patience.”
So true!
One of my favorites in the fleet.😊
I wish I had your talent to build one. Thank you for sharing this video!
Thanks for watching!
@@IronTrapGarage Where in Charlotte and when will you be there? I hope to be there too.
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
Loved the little noises and the "bump" while driving - priceless and a lesson to the gold-chainers out there
Thank you Matt for the information and seeing you drive it !
She’s a beauty! Wow you have quite the stable of cars!
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.
Still the best modern build traditional hot rod for me!
Hope the Aussie trip was good. I know a few fellow radio collectors over there.
Nice.🙂
Just the way I like them. You have a great outlook on the hot rod culture.
Thanks Gary!
IronTrap University, class in session.
I wish I could give the teacher an apple I mean professor
Haha yep!
@@IronTrapGarage Will there be a pop quiz, later?
@@chuckb9867 A Wico V-Drive magneto instead, may be a shoe in for a passing grade.
@@1954shadow I agree but hens teeth are so hard to find
Guy I used to work for said the east coast channel job look came about because the floors and subrails would be already gone in any car more than 5-6 years old
That sounds logical
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.
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.
Se ve tu entusiasmo, y amor por estos autos, eso es inspirador, hace que uno no se siente tan raro, gracias.
Thanks for the ride!
She’s a beaut. Love it.
Hi Matt, your knowledge is always impressive and your passion for vintage iron, astounding!!❤ There is never a lull with ITG segments, even when your away traveling Mike and Steve carry the torch very well. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
y'all make it seem so easy...
One of these days I'll have to get to Pennsylvania and stop by your garage ! I have a cousin that lives in Reading !
Send us an email and we’d love to have you!
Very cool Hot Rod!!!! 👍👍
Oh my I think Matt paused twice, it was incredible description
I like dropped and chopped but had no idea it is east coast style :) Nice video. Greetings from Poland!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
suicide front axles FOREVER!😎
Awesome episode
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.
I watched those old videos of the chassis build and
The floors when they were new releases
Great episode...always like the PCC!
Nice to see Matt, Mike and Steve at Carlisle this past week.
Thanks for stopping by!
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.
Good video. Thanks
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.
Informative
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,,,
Great article and a fantastic build!! Love this car!
Good tutorial and description, thanks... Cheers!
Great info
Cool ride right there.
Good info and cool old photos of old hot rods.😊
Great car thanks!
My 31 sedan is 5 channel and unchopped and I love it. More modern suspension and engine though.
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 .
The upstairs shop is looking killer
Thanks!
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!
This is a Awesome idea and video! ... thanks for sharing this. IT'S cool to have the entire history, stories and even the ride along video. ... Great job buddy!
What an after-market model A overdrive fit in that
Nice Tips. 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
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! 💯👊
Looking back...as a kid...looking in little magazines...this is my style...building the Covid Coupe back in this style...love it man.
Yours is gonna be cool for sure!
Perhaps you could send Matt a few photos to keep the rest of us updated with your build . Loved the look of the chevy bonnet on the roof .
Anthony Carty...I can if Matt wants me to.
Thank you Matt!
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.
Asking for a friend…has anyone done a “back in the day” or “so to speak” drinking game? Love this series Matt.
Lol. I do say that a lot!
#1 WOW

They did wash cars in the 50's. Love your channel.😀
Sure they did. But some people also didn’t give a shit and neither do I.
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!
I wish you would take a nice for a cruise to the Pagoda for a cherry on top I love this video from beginning to end especially the little trinkets
I’ve done it a bunch of times but we shot a bunch of these videos in one day and didn’t have time to get up there sadly that day!
Well --- The East Coast are hip ---- I really dig those styles ------ But ------ the West Coast has the Sunshine --- and all the Girls get so Tanned ------- Thanks for the Video Matt ---- But -- I think I'm staying here on the West Coast ----- Good explanation of a East Coast Hot Rod ----- Rodney
I'd like to ask a question on the garage. Is your garage post and beam? And are those 4 inch thick planks? And is there open space below ? Or Are the planks on cemen thank you.
A car just to go out and enjoy . I got a Harley from a guy who put the rear shocks all the way down . So when You hit a bump oh my a spine breaker . So I get the idea of what Your ride is like. Maybe calling it spine breaker would a better name .
Hey Matt how about a "101" on hot rod suspension set-up and geometry?
We can certainly put that on the list!
Hi Matt. WHO SELLS THOSE RADIUS ROD MOUNTS YOU USED
Love your videos Matt! Just curious...have you built any vehicles like this to compete for trophies in your local or national shows?
Not interested in trophies or competing. Just like to build cars to have fun in.
Sounds great! I love that philosophy...keep doing what your are doing!@@IronTrapGarage
What kind of headlights are on your car?
Guide 682C’s
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.
I have wondered the same thing and probably think that is what led to the channeling back in the day.
Matt when did you build this East Coast Hot Rod ?
Started on it probably close to 10 years ago
Now I get were the name "Jalopy" is used......!
R u using the model A gas tank?
Nope. Have a tank in the trunk
Are u thinking of selling?
We have a 31 Coupe that has a very similar style, even the color. Check it out on our channel.
IS that a Hot Rod or a mud runner
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.
LOVE this channel !!!!!!
Livin the dream
