    A wise man once told me that :"Just because you don't understand the magic , It doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Iron Trap gets the magic.. Do yourself a favor ,Robert, get you an old copy of the art of metal bumping and study Gr***hopper. To bash the bodyman is the easy way out. There is a method to their madness that the untrained eye might miss. None of this nonsense is easy. All of it, a compromise.

    I really LOVE watching Matt and IRONTRAP doing what i grew up with..takes me back to the 70s-80s sitting on the tailgate at Hershey selling parts for my uncles...... And a little controversy about anything is sure a welcome to this group instead of GERITOL MILKSHAKES and FROSTBITTEN fingers from scratching ya old Crusty azz ********s.... Please continue..i gotta go warm my hands up...

    If Matt wears any label it would be hot rodder, although increasingly it would be businessman - it seems like in just a few short years Irontrap has gone from a hobby shop to one of the major sources for vintage Ford parts in the country.

    That guy on the TV doesn’t know **** I can adjust my hood from my armchair with my tv remote and a bag of Cheetos better than that two bit hack.

    Believe it or not the hood latches beautifully (latch setup is all custom and not stock), gaps are 110% better than when we started (and better than stock likely). I also sectioned the hood sides and reshaped them to flow with the hood top better and somehow it all works. Not bad for some fake reality show on your **** tube. But I’m 100% not a professional body man. Just p***ionate about building cool old cars and having fun! Feel free to zoom on the photo.
