Always great seeing Ron and Laura - even from afar! They're just fantastic people.

Very neat video! Thanks for sharing.

I feel very fortunate to have gotten the tour and a peek into what Ron, Ron Jr. and Laura do up there in their "hobby shop".

Certainly some creative minds at work.

Glad this was posted as I watched it Sunday morning and was going to start a thread. I watch all the Irontrap videos for fun and some learning too. It's great to see younger people into vintage Ford's although they are not stock but it seems they are not the type to take a perfect factory car and chop it up. They take cars that have already been rodded decades ago and get them back in operating condition.

This was the first time I meet Matt when he visited with his ARDUN project last week. Like everyone else I have watched with great interest his many videos on U-Tube. Its refreshing to know there's a large group of young guys with a huge amount of passion for Early Fords. Matt is certainly at the top of that group. I'm sure he will be one of the guys who continues to pass on the torch decades from now when most of us are no longer able to do this ourselves.
I enjoy guiding, helping and sharing my knowledge to anyone who has similar interests no matter what age. The best part of what I can share is based off of real hands on experience this includes many failures along the way just another part of life's learning curve.

Thanks Ronnie Roadster for letting Matt do the video, I really enjoyed the follow up video they posted with you explaining how the Ardun heads work.
You guys that have been around and doing this stuff for so many years is really an inspiration to keep this hobby alive for all of us.

Thank you,

Pat
