  • Air bags are for , how do i put this lightly, uhhh , pussies

  • Hell ya brotha.. Lol its a rat..office seats..f#ck it lol. That's a bad ass rat.

  • Sweet vehicle, would definitely change the seat cover's if it was mine and maybe remove the hood, but apart from that it's really awesome! :)

  • dont you have to get your car checked in america ?

    a car like this would, sadly, never pas the test in europe

    your wheels cant be outside the car you have to have be able to drive over 10cm etc etc

  • that thing can use a wd-40 bath.

  • way awesome

  • thats a rat rod, if its safe or not doesnt matter, it is how it looks that desides if its a rat rod or not.

  • i like the dash!

  • one cool ride

  • holy fuck, this is beautiful

  • thumbs up for this short Movie

  • @Hubs88...Not to worry, real fabricators like Chops don't mind your opinion. Go to your queer SEMA shows with your queer billet loving fag buddies. Foose is a genius and I'll bet you he loves these cars, but his stuff is totally different than any passionate cornfield fab you'll find at real car shows and cruise ins. You keep your $20k paint jobs and chrome everything and we'll keep the good stuff. Now pass the primer gun.

  • Sweet ride!

  • I love the jockey shifter. That's a really really cool rod. Great job.Very nice ride.

  • Henry Ford used to build those when he took window opane acid tabs

  • Part 2 Some feel old school means building w/ used parts that are currently available at time of build (say in the 40's or 50's) But what if someone builds a car today using used parts that available now Are they the same? well yes and no.My point is,two rods built in diff times , using used parts that are available to each, using homemade parts if needed ,is that old school? Yes. Its how YOU perceive it .Its like whats better an apple or an orange? IMHO there r no bad rods just diff ones

  • Part 1 I beleive the rat rod has evolved into many diff types. just because a car is unsafe doesnt make it a rat rod IMHO. some rat rods are unsafe maybe due to the fact the the builder has a lower understanding of what is safe and what isnt. maybe he is striving for the rat look so much he goes extreme for shock value and incorporates parts that arent up to the job for which they are being applied to. The old school build is also subject to types.

  • safe? ur gear shift is outside the fuckin car!

  • sweet rat dude.

  • ive never seen a picture of a kid in the 50s driving around in a rusty, frame dragging rod. Primer, yes.. Lowered, yes.. but correct me if im wrong, rusty cars werent in style in the 50s.

  • Nice rat rod

    (its a look thing)

    

  • Great vid, Well made Hot Rod.... I likie it...!!

  • the difference between a hot rod and a rat rod is that a rat rod uses parts from other car makes and models in this case its a rat rod because its a ford model A with early chevy parts...... and office seats. a Traditional hot rod would be.....Traditional....this means no office seats, or any other parts from a different car.....the only thing that DOESN'T matter between hot vs rat is the paint condition....whether its rusty or not....(dont get me wrong, i dig this roadent)......'nuff said

  • @ElMrFrijolero wrong..

  • Comment removed

  • thats probably the most AWESOME fucking rat rod ive ever seen!!

  • Be glad that you built a rat rod! You did it right and you did it safe. Don't let the shit bums that throw some used parts on a 20 dollar swap meet chassis ruin it for the other of us SAFE rat rod builders. Great build bro........take care.

  • It's a damn rat rod! And a bitchin one at that! Rat rod is a style and this is a perfect example of one it has nothing to do if it's safe or not, yes most of them are a bit unsafe but some are! A lot of the nicest rod are built the same way but sense they are all pert and look new people assume they are safer! Rat rod is a style period!

  • the term "Rat Rod" does not mean what it used to mean. just like the term "gay" in this day and age doesn't mean your "happy". The term rat rod is a good thing now. If your car is a piece of shit. The term for that is "POS". But it seems like everyone who owns a Rat Rod gets offended. Ok in that case change your name to "Dick" and go around and tell people how "gay" you are--- times have changed, and all my "era correct 50's hot rods with rusty bodys and red wheels" are Rat Rods.

  • I would tend to say that rat rods are all about excellent mechanicals but "beat" (sometimes intentionally) looks. Whatever you call it, this is without doubt one of the finest rods I've ever seen, I love that safari window, and those coils in the engine (fuel lines?) are wicked.

  • very cool car

  • Rat rods are not safe.... Dude!!! Like your cars is any safer? u have an exposed gas tank at your back for god sakes!!!

  • I think he doesn't understand what a "rat rod" is, Look up George Barris and Google "Rat Fink".

  • "rat rods are unsafe"...

    id like to see you walk away from a half-decent crash is this one!!

    or do your office chairs have seatbelts??

    anyway, at least its got airbags...LAWL!!:/

  • sooo sick man. sooo sick

  • Yea.....Love this ryde dude but Rat rods are givin a bad name. Sum just like any cars are unsafe but my friends rat rods are very well built and plenty safe. Nice ryde though!

  • i hate the word "rat rod" because people use it in the wrong context.

  • BADASS hotrod.

  • this ride is bitchn man!

  • Comment removed

  • that ride is the tits man !!! one of the best wanna be rat rods period !

  • thats such a sweet ratty type rod in fact I can't tell it from the real thing!

  • thats such a sweet ratty type rod in fact I can't tell it from the real thing!

  • thats such a sweet ratty type rod can't hardly tell it from the real thing !

  • Nice!!! Great car!!!

    Buenisimo man !!! Saludos desde Argentina

    The ass of the world

  • sick car, and yea its a rat rod

  • i like your car man.. spesially the copper tube cas lines..

  • this car is now in Europe, i saw him at a meet in Germany!

  • He says back then and old school a lot, but that is not the case. Early 70s is already emissions times and no they didnt do rust back then. Metal flake and chrome is how "they" did it. Throw some tuck and roll and flames in the mix and that is about right. No mexican blankets and smokey engines. With that said, i have a rat truck, but its a trend not vintage.

  • if you didn't want it to be persived as a rat rod why does it LOOK like a rat rod?

  • fuck chrome

  • i got a 29 model a

    bout how much did all tht cost

  • Sounds & smokes like a raaaaaaaaattt!!!!!

  • Rust is Peace!!!

  • Lovely!!!

  • nice job

  • thats not how they did it back then. my pops has been building rods from the late 40,s till current, and he will tell you men took pride in there rides. you would never see a guy rolling around in a rusty car back in the day, even the poor fuckers. put some paint on those shitters, and quit short cutting. if you like that look then cool but dont say thats how kids use to do it. rat rods are budget built and trindy as shit and thats all.

  • cool stuff i think it's rat but some great work!

  • that car is badd ass, but let me tell you buttholes something this shit is wayyyy outa line !! rat rods are NOT UNSAFE JUNKERS ???? they are cars built by all sorts of people, in the garage etc etc ...just like yours. i have a " rat rod " and i have put over 40 thousand miles on it in two years!!! fucking hundred miles an hour all the time.. and no engine problems ever !!!! if people whant to call them ratrods so be it..

  • and skoty chops is the man!!

  • A REAL Hot Rod..Every custom built car is a reflection of its builder and owner...And your car is BITCHIN' Dude! 2 thumbs up!

  • Works for me..nice to see someone who can express himself on here. Well done car.

  • i think i saw that at ink and iron

  • Now thats cool; can't wait to try to build something like that.

  • nice job man

  • i'd say its a ratrod... but its fricken awsome!!!!!

  • what kind i rims and wheels are that? i need the dimensions

  • rust is the new chrome : )

  • Comment removed

  • great project...cool ride...awesome hobby that continues to be so priceless to the enthusiast...i love ol' skool nostalgia...thanks for sharing! i'm currently building a 68' eleanor shelby convertible...slowly...lol : )

  • The term Rat Rod is relatively new - 10 years at most. Never had rat rods "back then". I'm from "back then". This is a cool functional work of art however it is rusty and "back then" no single part would wind up on your car without at least a rattle can paint job. The poorest rodder would get whatever he needed from the junk yard and spray it flat black!

  • i precieve it as arat rod because it was slammed together with parts he had laying around, not because i think it was'nt built well.

    And airbags are not "how they did it back then"

    However, bad ass rod, just not my style.

  • Props! I love it

  • Bad Ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • ahh stfu it looks cool and probly 0 bc its 1 body and u cut shit out so ur fuckin stupid

  • thank you! this is not a rat rod!! its a hot rod..big diff..rat rod means junk!

  • well it is junk, and its a ratrod big time....

  • Definately a Rat Rod (and I hate that term)and NOT how they used to do it back then. And it is unsafe with that gas tank right against your back!

  • @lilduec but thats the best place for it. so if it blows, your dead instantly with no suffering.

  • @lilduec Thats how the tanks were in every truck until the early seventies

  • well built,except the fuel tank,at least change over to a fuel cell,but it looks like you could have a fuel built to fit over rear suspension,burns are awful,death is final

  • Ah Yea, That's is a Ratrod! Sorry! Thats how it was done back then too!

  • Go not Show......NICE!!!

  • i want to race a stupid ricer with this.

  • kick ass RatRod

  • Oh.... that is NOT how they did it "back then". Do a little research.

  • yeah! lol i didnt know back then in the 30's they had airbags.

  • RAT ROD piece of shit.

  • badasss

  • people who say rat rods are unsafe kinda dont know the point of a rat rod... its not to go racing or anything. its pretty much... to have a rat rod. they have no purpose other than to be a rat rod. i would love to have one...

  • car cool

    but rat rods is cool

    i take your comment as a insult

    but anyway rockin rat rod(excuse meeeeeeeeeee

    hot rod)

  • I think I might replicat the same type of shifter on mine... Minus the teeki head

  • Yep it was in the US Car show in Sanem (Luxembourg) this year. Awesome car ! :)

  • Save for the Chevy 350, that's a very kool rod! And a wicked shifter, even though it's attached to a lame-ass automatic. Everybody knows all real hot rods have three pedals. However, just keep this in mind; a hot rod can be as safe as anybody wants to make it. Hell, stock Corvettes will flip backwards and crush their drivers if they get up to 150 or faster, and those are PRODUCTION VEHICLES!!!

  • rat rods are crap and unsafe

    hot rods are safe/ engineered cars/trucks

    street rods are trailer queens

  • Not true, It's just that a few guys in the "Rat Rod" scene ruin it for people who build safe nice, good looking "rat rods"

  • how do i get a hold of skotyschops for some work on my ride

  • do it yourself, thats most of the fun

  • Je l'ai vue à Sanem Luxembourg il y a 15 jours.... terrible ratrod!!!!!!!!

  • Whatever you want to call it, it's balls out. You don't need to label shit just to like it. Take it for what it is. A badass piece of work.

  • Its a rat rod if the guy thinks it is or not. Simply put, A "rat rod" is an old car put back on the road using parts off old cars and junk piles. Ever road by a house,(call em pack rats) you know the kind that has like 15 junk cars around it rusting away and thought... I think the roof of that car would look good on mine

  • Its not a rat rod. Why does everyone percieve that because it isnt painted or might have some rust on it, it is labelled a rat rod.

    You either know about rods or you dont, and a lot of people dont!

  • shut the fuck up you act like a college boy playing the"part". It is not a rat rod there perception is incorrect it is not thrown together and unsafe .There is alot of engineering in this imposter....no wait are your tattoos real or lickem and stickem. I want to be a dentist. Your car fits the profile dont play the label card please

  • hola pana

    saludo desde caracas venezuela.......

    me gusta mucho tu video...

    vivan los hot rod

  • That is a rat rod, unsafe rat rods give real rat rods a bad name. that is not a traditional rod

  • true, I Gotta hand it to chief59, that is a rat rod. Traditional rods look way different (More Original)...

    STILL nice Ride Thou

  • Is this from Hot Rod Havoc 2?

  • Having a "suicide shift" with an automatic is silly but everything else looks bitching. The safari window is nice.

    Too bad it's not running the whole time.

  • Gotta disagree a rat rod is a car that has nothing but balls even though it looks "ratty" it doesn't mean its Unsafe its just built for one thing Speed

  • O

    T

    l l

    this is Jack, he will one day rule youtube and metacafe. when he does become ruler, you would have a part of it and Jack will take care of you forever!

  • it's a rat rod you cocksucker, but nice car....even though it's all safe and shit like a guy who decides he wants to look like a rebel and be all safe and shit in his cozy little safe rebel car......cozy little safe not rat rod machine type gizmo.....ok so i'm stoned

  • @deputydillhole are you gonna pass that or what? puff puff pass!

  • @oldskoolsickboy4life must have been some good shit, I don't remember writing that comment

  • i think i own one of your cars

    31 chevy 5 window channel no chop

    rear bags all blue

  • cool. vaginas are by far better tho

  • Sweet ride,great work

  • You FUCKING RAT ROD wantabe greezers aren't old enough to even have a clue as to how traditional rods were built in the 40-60's and today, you are a disgrace to the hobby,, POSERS is a better word, what a waste of good sheetmetal,

  • Hey Dude,, did you build the black 33 coupe with the blue flames and blown BBC? that you have posted under scoty Chops hot rod

  • uhuuulll!!!!!

  • one of the coolest hotrods ever seen!!

  • whats the intro song

  • Couldn't agree more on the Rat Rod def. too many people are slammin' these things together and dying because it's sloppy work.

  • Nice ride. I had the pleasure of meeting Skoty this weekend in Bakersfield, he was a cool guy.

    By the way, the definition of Hot Rod is any vehicle that has been modified for performance. Yes, this is not 100% traditional. Technically, a honda civic can be a hot rod, it's just a different type guys.

  • A honda civic could not be a Hot Rod, correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure that the term 'Hot Rod' doesnt apply to vechiles after 1948.

  • Respectfully, the 1948 designation is only specific to the NSRA, National Street Rod Association, and even they have opened their membership restrictions slightly due to dwindling membership numbers. A "Street Rod is 48-49 and older.  While there is no actual definition for Hot Rod, Wiki has a pretty easy to understand which is "...typically American cars with large engines modified for linear speed." But, when hot rodding started, pretty much all you had was American cars.

  • Damn! That's an awsome ride. Chevy is bad ass.

  • I would NOT ride in that thing.. and that isn't a hot rod either.. I've never seen a picture from the 1950's of a bagged, 5 inch chop, suicide shifter, 1970's powered 'hot rod'.. as far as I'm concerned, that's a friggin' rat rod..

  • the dude likes his car. thats all that matters.

  • dude chill out bro....the ummm "rat rod" is an awesome thing.....sorry it's not painted and doesn't have chrome everywhere, cuz last time i checked that is not original hot rodding.....

  • haha the ricer thinks Ratrods are cool

  • if i am not mistaken i believe i read about this car in a mag. that i subscribe to. it was ol' skool i think.

  • That's how ya do it!!

  • Dude, this is an unsafe RATROD...I know the punk that built it in San Carlos.

  • sweet ride...

  • very cool car.congrats

  • idk... car craft... hot rod.. ford muscle... plenty of em.

  • old skool RODZ might feature it...

  • that shitbox is worth a hundred grand easy and plenty of magazines would kill to feature it. your peice of shit civic will never be worth nearly as much

  • its hot man. love the seats lol.

  • Excellent homegrown engineering, man! Your hot rod is aces!

  • I like it! Getting back to the way it used to be and that is, innovation in action, not buying stuff over the counter and bolting it on. Who would of thought to use a neat looking old hub cap for dash enhancement.....Wish i had the time and money to do something like that. Great work and design, you should be proud.

  • Wasn't that a rat rod?

  • nope, it has a 4 link rear end... rats always just have some sorta hacked together suspension system... if they have springs at all that is

  • i love it its not a cookie cutter car! haha that fucktard said jessy james wana be. lol hella funny cus if i remmember right this car is cool enough to be in a mag that i read all the time, all the haters are just pissed becase the same company that makes ride on lawnmowers built there stupid little civics.

  • That car is sooo cool and a lot of work if you dont like it! go and sit on yer thumb!

  • and thats my sisters s/n beach barbie shit...haha wow i look hard now lol

  • all of u stupid mother fuckers talkin shit about the Rod can go fuck your selves, go hop in ur civics and bmw's while i blow ur doors off...this rod is fuckin sick and i love it, im jealous cus it puts my rat to shame...fuckin ill job on your Rod man

  • wow you are all a bunch of idiots and obviously have absolutely no clue about anything about cars except about ur new ferraris. and for the exeptional "fuctard" these cars are actually the new style if you actually read other mags that arent car and driver

    by the way man bitchin car love it

  • all you guys can suck dick i love this car your just jelous because you don't have a car like this by the way dude sweet ass car

  • WHO in the fuck would want one

  • No need to be so rude dude.. my kids like to check out rods on line, they dont need to read your language. Youre old enough to know better. We have a blown 28 Ford and 2, 38 chev family rods... Im not a ratrod fan at all but theyre normally built by young guys that are going to keep rodding alive and many will build more quality looking rods as they grow older..... someone else posted your rod under this guys name, not him, so dont take it out on a young guy that has a rep as a good guy...

  • Oh so my language is worse than these other fellas? I don't really give a rip who this so called YOUNG fella is that posted my car as his; all I ask is to not post it under his or this scoty chop dudes name, if you want to post it keep the name right,, I don't want to have my car being used as advertisement for this rat rod builder, either change it to the correct heading or I will report it to You/tube, and by the way.. I am old enough to be youre grandpappy,

  • Yeah, Id say on this video your language was terrible and youre a man old enough to have grandchildren, not old enough to be my grandfather tho... you should be setting an example, not being led on by younger people and using them as your standard.

    Your car is quite nice, I saw it on the other video but its not this guy claiming to own your car or even the guy that posted this video. The video with your car was posted by a guy from Brazil who obvioulsy got confused with the title.

  • Ok,, My language was rather harsh,, and I apologize for that,, But I hope you understand that when someone puts their name on something, trying to make it look like this Skoty Chop dude built it,really pisses me off, I realize you see a different angle on this . but its NOT your car or reputation he is trying to hijack,

    I surmise that you are a really nice person,, but I have to ask,, why are you defending this person that hyjacked my video and put someone elses name to it?

  • Im not....just youre on the wrong video to get the title changed...Skoty and 51special dont have anything to do with that video, its not their fault and they cant fix it. I'll send you a private message on how to fix it.

  • fuck off motherfucker just because ur old doesnt mean shit- if you dont like something doesnt mean u have to throw a bitch fit about it on youtube- if you dont like something- dont look it up

  • HEY somesillysap,,,, Have your young kids check out this guys potty mouth language,,don't you have a do gooder comment for him ????

  • I would

  • I Love the suicide shift

  • DAAAAMN!!! I love it! Badass ride..

    Want it:)
