  • i love this car

  • ...i misread the title...i was under the impression that an 80year old would be driving XD

  • as you can see, it blends very nicely

  • He should try Power Shifting. Bet he upps that MPH

  • i would drive this to school!

  • Pretty cool ride. A real hot rodder! Not sure I'd want to run 170 in that baby on a home made frame piece meal breaks. Guess he must be a good welder.

  • You could tell he was excited about getting the awesome grill for a 6 pack when says "So we were set!" all giddy lol

  • damn him and his wife built it his wife must be perfect :D

  • He stole Frankenstein's car.

  • 2:50 for those people that dont want to watch the whole thing and just wanna see if FLY ...

  • why doesnt restore it

  • junk? so be it. Then junk is cool, fun, fast, interesting, creative, economical, it promotes recycling, JUNK IS WAY F'N COOL! AND WAY FUN! I'm tired of $100000000 Foose west coast customs boyd crap, rat rods brought hot rodding back to where it belongs, in small garages owned by less than rich people. Why would anyone have a problem with that. Hell, I have a mini van that runs 10's on stock tires! now that's FUN!

  • why did he call it a sedan if it only has two doors?

  • @showoff07 it probably was a sedan before he butchered it.

  • @notamexican91 ohhh true

  • @showoff07 Tudor sedan. Look it up.....

  • @abarthd i see thanks

  • It's stuff like this that gives me goosebumps.Born and raised in LaGrange Texas,into a car family,and it breaks my heart to see rat rods getting put in the hands of dumbasses.This guy is a real rat rodder.Does all of his work at home,with his wife and little girls.One day,I'll put my baby on the road,and I will be one of the happiest men on earth.

  • @1939PlymouthRatRod2 I think you're just jealous.

  • the american dream.

  • @staytruestayfit This is why I love America (although I hate it's government) I'm not impressed with wealthy people and they shiny trinkets they buy themselves to look and feel important. The thing is, this guy built this thing in his garage with his family. We need more family's like that in America. it's called skill, talent this family has it. I have more respect for this guy than someone who went out and bought a Bugatti (prolly w dads money)

  • man that thing sounds nasty

  • Comment removed

  • I mean what's the point of having huge wheels if I can't even go offroad in the fucking thing anyway? "OOH I don't wanna scratch the chrome!!" Pansies. I'm sorry but today's trends suck...and just like Rock an' Roll, ol' Rod's will never die. So morons you can call it what you want, but dig this....there's still a multitude of thousands of us who'd still rather be seen behind the wheel of a 32 Ford or 48 Chevy beater with some 'Tude than some techno jap/hip hop poser mobile with 20 speakers.OOO

  • Nothing annoys me more than to hear the negative comments about this rod and all others like it. Some of you folks may call it junk that should've been crushed years ago and talk shit about how they don't have decent paint or fancy monstrous sized wheels that don't do anything but attract thieves...but while you fruity little idiots are driving around in your retarded bi-plane winged whole grain or converted rice burnin' cars, or defacing classic 60's and 70's muscle with gigantic assed wheels..

  • we just like to go fast....

    WIN!

  • Man, how the **** much do I fancy having one of those? Nice one!

  • Sweeeeeeet

  • There is nothing like racing a car you built from scratch. I do the same thing youtube.com/watch?v=922PY32eJD­c at maxton and its a hoot. Form follows function.

    great ride

  • I love it! this is old school racing. He took an old car and built an old fashion racing machine with it. He didn't buy it from a show room dealer and add a high performance computer chip and Nos. He built it with his own hands. "That's Racing"! And it must be safe or it would not pass the safety / tech inspection for tracks .

    Junk??? I think its art !

  • @Draxindustries1 It doesn't matter how tough the body is - its the frame (which, if you notice, he said he made a new one). I mean, look at that cage!

  • @Draxindustries1 thats the thrill of it.. to be dangerous.

  • @Draxindustries1 get off your moms tit and live on the wild side for fucks sake

  • Loud and fast... the way it should be...

  • Sweet ride, even sweeter sound. keep it up i want to see more classic competition

  • I want a wife that will build a car with me... :o

  • they really dont need music in the video when the engines going.

  • i love hoosier wheels

  • Why start with a rotten old frame? Why not build a proper car to start with?

  • like the power of it.but it is fucking ugly.

  • anyone that doesnt like this car is either A: incredibly jealous or B: is a terrorist great work.

  • ff to 2:50

  • That looks like one heck of an unsafe rod.

  • the kinda sound that just makes you go "HOLY SHIT" when you hear it.

    chilling.... sounds evil

  • Man I miss the sound of going balls out on the big end 6500rpm just screammin..

  • that car is amazing, love the look of the raw look of a rat rod

  • @akathepriest TONY Lee, NOT Troy Lee.....

  • Yeah, finaly someone with MANUAL transmission!! (Y) :-D

  • Is this Troy Lee from Troy Lee Designs?

  • Love seeing real people who build there own stuff. Its easy for big sponsored workshops to build a rig, but literally a mum and dad job...theres hope for us all :)

  • HE SAID SHIT!

  • Thats so sick! Especially the roof!

  • @ionman40isback Why is it junk? Is it because, It doesn't have 22" rims, a sound system that is louder than a cruise ship's fog horn and a candy paint-job that he didn't do himself. Real rods don't shine my friend.

  • @drh1111 I agree 100% but Sound systems are pretty great xD

  • @ionman40isback Not as good as your Honda? pfftt

  • @ionman40isback You only call it junk because you don't know how to properly build a car, order your parts and build your factory made car!

  • @ionman40isback so is your comment

  • "me and my wife made" HOWWWWW!!!!! WHATS YOUR SECRET!!

  • ONLY IN A FORD!

  • @VirginiasLoudest it goes mopar or no car but thats just me and i do like ford

  • @VirginiasLoudest 32 ford

  • guy looks like bän äffläck

  • 3:07 looks like a fricking TIME WARP!! XDDDDDD

  • the motor is just for show... hes got a flux capacitor hidden somewhere

  • 172 mph car pulled from the stump of a tree...not bad

  • NOT IMPRESSED

  • My favourite part is the exhaust headers. Those things are awesome, haha.

  • I'm surprised this car can hit 172 mph. It's not exactly aerodynamic.

  • @neurocytohemotoxic it was probably pressing more than 900 horsepower

    aerodynamics probably werent in the top of the list when he was rebuilding it.

  • @montey1017 LOL, 900 hp? My ass. A 900 hp BB requires some VERY high end engine building, even the Merlin 632 only makes 800 hp. This thing was just cobbled together with parts out of a Summit racing catalog, it makes 600 hp at the very most.

  • @idontcare80 he was talking about doing all the machining work on the engine himself, blower on top probably juice, revs probably 5+...

  • @neurocytohemotoxic When you got some raw power, you can fuck aerodynamics... :-D

  • @Pavouk106 until you go air born

  • Roddin' on the cheap. I love it.

  • i love the flames though the firewall at like 3:00 haha, i fucking love hotrods :)

  • @blackknights94, I think that was the shift light.

  • must be pretty intense to drive it!looks like it ain't got any suspension in the back :D

  • Grandpa car wins! ;D

  • Wow that must be such a proud da for him. Somthing he built from the grond up going that fast..

  • old and worn, but what a beautiful car!

  • Dennis the menace hiding in the footwell

  • NOT an 80 yr old ratrod. NEW ratrod, 80 year old body.

  • That...was...too damn cool!!!!!!!!

  • man thats how and American muscle should sound!!!

  • E-TICKET ride! Cant get much more fun than that!! Sweet ride man.

  • is that a flame'n shift light?

  • thats an ass for pumping

  • is that a freddy krueger sweater on the transmission?

  • @calcutlass It's a kevlar blanket for the transmission in case the clutch or transmission comes apart it'll, hopefully, stop the parts from hurting his legs.

  • HOLY SHIT BALLS THAT THING HAULS!!!

  • i like the rod

    not the fag

    music

  • people back then would only dream of going that fast lol

  • like the headers lol

  • mafia 2

  • NOT 80+ years old. The only thing that is is the body. I like Rat Rods. BUT HATE THIS ONE, its HIDEOUS.

  • @indestructableforce Really? I don't like the fact that it's all raced out, but the body + engine and stance could be used for a nice project ;) needs some lights, different wheels and tires, etc. Definitely could be made nice, at least for a street version.

  • who gives a fuck about japanes/german/CZ/polish/russi­an or whatever fuckin car.......

    the car hes driving is odler then every supra/golf/astra/charger/ FordGT whatever.......

    without these cars all of you wouldnt even know what a supra or a 2jz engine :p

    AND that car definately would get more eyes on it then a 800 HP supra =D

    im not against supras or anything else but liek i said....without these old rat/hot rods tehre would be no supra whatever :D

  • ugly car nice

  • HA! Take that Japanese-tuner-car nerds!

  • @XxFordlovergtxX

    Yeh, well, with an RB30de it would go even faster. So shut up

  • @XxFordlovergtxX also a 2jz gte would be better than that, and its an inline 6

  • Comment removed

  • @XxFordlovergtxX i would put an L28 engine with 100 turbo into a 240Z and smoke muscle

  • haha, the 'Oh shit handle'

  • "3goTr1pp" tat was so fucking true dude!!!!

    lol

  • nice! what's the backround music? from 0:00 to 1:00 ?

  • Streetfire sucked dick ever since cardomain bought them out

  • What engine does it have, can anyone ID it?

  • @pilatunes  Looks like a big block chevy.

  • that is one awesome streetcar.

  • I love your ride!! 

  • Now that is a mean machine! Would be proud of having that on my driveway.. :-)

  • I just want to know if he built this at his "house"

  • Isn't this just a little too dangerous when you have a family to care for?

  • @1971SuperLead nope have a look at the cage and the safety features....rat rods only loook like crap from the outside but all the major components are 100% safe and strong. and don't have any rust.

  • EXCELLENCE!

  • what happen in camera at 3:15 ?

  • @irishkendoll He hit the shoot

  • @mjr350 ah, gotcha!

  • @irishkendoll he released the parachute he was talking about earlier...the oh shit handle.

  • @jayocular gotcha!

  • Get a fucken life !

  • @WildmanBorneo

    dude...that was one epic failing comment.....

  • Less yakkity yak and more zoom zoom.

  • @burrisweatherfield if you were the owner, or/and if you know something about engines, you wouldn't say that shit again. or you are just offended because that baby isn't yours?

  • @burrisweatherfield

    It looks awesome! What's your problem?

  • 172mph is respectable, considering that car is built like a brick! Nice vid.

  • THRILL RIDE Hotrodding is a state of satoric art. Life and death on the sharp end of a pin, total Zen art. Way ta go !

  • i could a ford escort with a bush trough where the engine should be....

    Can i haz win now ?

  • Only in the USA can this dream become real! Thank you!

  • Running that thing flat out in the texas mile... How the hell can you climb over the door bar with nuts that big?

  • tell us about the oh shit handle?????????

  • killer! ultimate a! 53 ford f100 rat 347 twin turbo to come! video response soon

  • Yo Supergun, it had a tree growing out of it.

  • This car didn't deserve this fate, it was once a noble family car.

  • Well, they actually saved it. If you hear at the beginning how he got it from a farmer where it was sitting and had a tree growing through it. Looking at it, it probably isn't salvagable for restoration.

  • @kwkiller No, at one time it was a beautiful 1930s family cruiser, now its a monster.

  • And a beautiful monster at that.

  • its just a model A,nothing 'noble'' about it.they made millions of them and they are still laying around

  • @1C7Z3H5X It had dignity, it was a car than represented an entirely different era of thinking and living.

  • When you can shove a brick through the air that fast you have some power. Going that speed in that car would make me awfully nervious from the standpoint of it leaving the ground. . The fastest I ever went was in a pos about like your's lol . An old 56 CVhevy with a healthy small block and tall gears, it's a wonder we survive our youth , and some of us never grow up!!  i'm 60 and still racing in circles and draggin my toe in the corners on my bike.

  • Shivers bro.... shivers.

    The working mans American dream.

  • that is a nice ass in the backround

  • @3goTr1pp Ya friggin' perv haha I saw it too.

  • @3goTr1pp until the camera is on the other side, then she looks like big momma lunchmeat.

  • @grumpyjenkins lmfao i nvr heard of big momma lunch meat before thats awesome

  • @3goTr1pp That is NOT a nice ass at all...

  • This thing is fucking sick

  • man that thing is sweeeet great job

  • Sooo sweet man!!!

    You should get your rims powder coated t make them look old, everything else does.

    Beautiful rat you got there!

  • Doin' it at home in the garage, thats my kind of car....Nice job man......Ya dun good

  • that must of been one helluva ride!!!

  • Sweet ride! I love that you can see the flames through the dash at shift points!

  • yeah, wtf's up w/that?

  • I'm pretty sure thats a shift light bud....

  • a rat rod is never done

  • well done sir, well done.
