Iron Trap 1932 Ford “DeLorean” Roadster: Welding The Body Back On!


Iron Trap 1932 Ford “DeLorean” Roadster: Welding The Body Back On!

It was sub rails and then rusty floors in the last couple of videos and now it is welding in the new floor bits in this one. The “DeLorean” roadster is under the knife and it’s going to be an awesome project.

Iron Trap has got all kinds of great projects, but this ’32 Ford Roadster is going to be something. It’s weird to see them getting new parts for a car like this, but it is the right choice to make this car as “original” as possible. Check out the two videos below that show how this project is getting started and then follow along as we’ll bring you regular updates.

Video Description:

In the last two episodes, Matt has gotten the new floors and subrails together, and he cut out all of the remaining stock floor. Today Matt and the crew work on mating the two pieces together. First Matt uses his spot blaster to sand blast the spots on the car that he will be welding to the floors. Once the metal is all clean it’s time to carefully line up the two pieces and set the body onto the floors. Now that the body is set down, Matt gets to work welding the A and B pillars into place, replacing the lower portions with tubing as needed. After locking those in, Matt installs a gas tank to verify the rear of the body is at the correct height. Now that the body is welded on to the subrails, Matt can now work on the rust repair that is needed on the body and get the front and rear suspension ready to roll under the frame!
