  • That shifter looks a lot like something out of a '64 fury - could it be?

  • @554687858 Nope..The assembly was made from a 316 steel shaft with an epoxy black coating and the knob was fashioned from a quartz stone with a custom threaded insert and tinted red and buffed to a shine, thanks for your question

  • @starview1 Well, it looks beautiful. The fabricator (you?) has a lot of talent. By the way, are you familiar with the MoPar shifter I was referring to? I've always thought that it was the best looking shifter Detroit has ever come up with.

  • @554687858 Thanks and yes and not familiar with 64deal, however did see a few 65 sport Fury shifters at shows.

  • Hey its his car. He didn't build it for anyone else, and whats the problem with that? Can't someone build something THEY like and drive it without a bunch of people with no mechanical ability slamming them? Its not unlike the kids ran in the 50's (maybe earlier) with a old hand me down car or one they paid little or nothing for and did the best they could afford to make it cool. No one is forcing anyone to watch the video or dig the car, whats the problem?

  • What's with the cover over the interior.......Rat rods dont have one

  • @PUNCHARD800ftlb keeps bird droppings from screwing up already screwed up interior lol

  • hahahahaha XD fart pipe

  • Awesome ride !!!

  • rat rods are the ruin of the hot rod era! doing that to a car on purpose is rediculous! Instead of fucking up a car and making it look like it belongs in the road warriors movies, take a few paint and body work classes and maybe a mechanics course and turn it into a hot rod! The only attitude a rat rod shows is your too fucking lazy and inexperienced to build it the right way! Hows that for constructive criticism?

  • @DIRTYDAG

    YEA! Lets paint it fag pink with blue flames and install a $5,000 lexus style interior in it just like the 50 million other so-called "hot rods"!!! :D

  • @littlehotrod55 so you described a trend that was big in the 80s...except for the few that show up at GoodGuys events ,that trend has died and gone away. Ever go to Cobo Hall? Or Grand National Roadster Show? Those shows are the ones that matter and you do not see fag pink and blue flame paint jobs all over the place! Go get your Rebel Rodz mag and read the "tech articles" on how to create rust and beat the car with chains and use road signs for patch panels and bomber seats like the rest

  • I can't figure why ppl are disliking the rat rods. They are classy and at least someone is doing something with these instead of watching them rust into nothing. The Haters are just jealous. Rat Rods are just freakin' cool! All you punks who dislike, don't understand what it takes to build one of these. Or have no talent in the shop!

  • @agpilotphil its funny cause you said ratrods are cool.. rat rods are for lazy people who enjoy having there car look like shit. this car i wouldnt consider a "ratrod" mostly because it doesnt have useless junk welded all over it and its not on a s10 frame. i hate the ignorance of all the people who call all unpainted cars "ratrods" its just a hot rod that this guy built and im sure enjoys cause its one cool HOT ROD

  • @ultimaterushfan2112 hmmm, so does this mean you won't be sending me a Christmas card this year?! Have a nice day anyway>>>>

  • THAT GREEN IS DOPE I'D PAINT MY CAR THAT GREEN AND RIMS TOO, WHITE WALLS WHITE INTERIOR WHITE PINSTRIPES SHHHHITTT TOO SICK LOL

  • that thing is kickass man. love it

  • thats fucking mint

  • ratrod, hotrod, same to me , if you build it yourself in your garage and are proud of it, thats all that matters !!! call it whatever you want ratrod, hotrod ,custom, i call them cool, plain and simple.. they are all rods right? rat or otherwise, people call my cars rat rods all the time and geuss what?? it does not bother me because they also say that car is fucking cool man.. and i say your right and thank you :)

  • love the color of the wheels!

  • nice rat rod, Id like to see this in matt black with rust multispokes. but hey thats what rat rods are about. no set rules just do what you want. peace.

  • Pictures are great but Im dying to hear it run and drive.

  • what a goddy pile

  • Only thing you'd ever paint on a rat rod is something particularly soecial, Like Rpeek did when he found the fire engine lettering underneath the old paint and rust when he stripped her, so he had a buddy recreater the way the lettering was origionally on the unpainted body

  • To me perfect. True hotrod!

  • Nice.

  • Kill terrorists!

  • I'll bet half the people that post negative comments about other people's cars, either dtill drive mommy and daddy's, or don't even have one, their buddy may have a Mustang or some tuner with a fart pipe and no they think they know everything....Let me tell you my no car having none motorhead, get a car, drive it, do cool things with enjoy it and then post your constructive comments on youtube... by the way even tho I like my muscle cars, nice Ratrod

  • Yep building cars in the backyard for fun is becoming a lost art., most would rather play with their mindless Xbox, building a driveable car is significantly more difficult than making or playing any xbox game, machines Like muscle cars or backyard highpowered beer cans on wheels make the world go round. Well keep on driving, I do miss the real muscle cars.

  • @starview1 hey man im saving to get a pice of shit vw bus. that i can play with

  • AAMEN brother lol, I drive a 91 Camaro, she's only a 3.1 6 cylinder, and she's got a bad tranny and runs like a dog but I lover her to death

  • @JPmixet Lack of punctuation makes that so hard to read. Especially the second half after the periods.

  • dangerus car!!beatiful!

  • what the he are you blind. Gotta love that music isn't bi or anything

  • I remember seeing these as a little tacker and trying to draw them at kindy.... great to see the revival of these beauties....

  • Yep,the era of the gasoline powered automobile is going to fade fast. I recently viewed a proto type car (could mfg now) that ran electric produed by hydrogen used in the on board fuel cell. The big deal was the car produced hydrogen on demand on board ,the car used a onboard battery set that was charged by solsr cells built into the poly carbonate car body,water was the source of the hydrogen , the exhaust water was pumped back to the water supply to use again 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds

  • Typo solsr should read Solar Cell

  • @starview1 Now THAT is crazy awesome.

  • Wow! This is the fisrt time I see a relation between hot rods and jazz!

  • WOW im getting really damn tired of after watching every video on youtube scrolling down just to see gay little youtube drama and people dissing other people and saying negative shit about videos. SERIOUSLY IF YOUR COMMENT ISNT "GREAT VID" OR SOMETHING POSITIVE DONT FUCKING POST IT!!

  • thats funny irony there, your user name is calling people super ugly, yet you only wanna read positive comments. HA!

  • hey poppashango--might i suggest you mind your own business--i guess you just don't like the truth--people like you have a hard time with the truth,so remove the comments, that will change everthing--it's not a game it's just the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey starview1, Might I suggest step 1. Block User then Step 2. remove comment. That way we can end razorstuff's little game right here and now.

  • POPPASHANGO You are correct, and it's true there are folks that are negative, I suspect in time their negative comments will cement their own fate in the sad world inwich they live. Rational folks recognize the fault of their absurdity. thanks for your input.

  • razorstuff is a nob. He is going one every rat rod video and saying the same thing! Everyone just ignore him, thumbs down! Call his momma and tell her he is saying naughty words on the internet!

  • That's EXACTLY the attitude that makes people just love them ..... fuckthebegrudgers.

  • Nice rod but the key word here is VIDEO...

  • song?pls

  • adastere The music is a generated remix, composite of many instruments and mostly created in the computer

  • and bits of local unpublished jazz trio.

  • Looks like a cockroach under that tarp. Otherwise, its nice.

  • "Rat Rod" is a style of Hot Rod or Custom car that, in most cases, imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. It is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "Traditional" Hot Rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a Hot Rod from the same era.

    Most Rat Rods appear "unfinished" (whether they actually are or are not), with just the bare essentials to be driven.

  • WRONG, RAT ROD= a word used to sell a rust bucket for 5 times more then its worth...

    nice TRADITIONAL bucket though

  • its a style! like art and some people like that

  • A tidy and nice motor.

  • Just a buncha still shots? No full-motion video? No cool engine sounds?

  • OMG! its like a sardine can!

    But its all motor and thats all that counts.

    Thats one sick turd ya got there!

  • This is a totaly neet car, I see you cut off the drive shft to make it work right. Wonder what power plant its got

  • Thats Dope

  • wow interesting car

    greets

  • There's some video of the car, but am still looking for the vid
