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.
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!
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.
@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)
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..
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.
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 .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
At this age it must be pretty rotten and after 80 years of sweating and farting in it cant be particularly nice smelling inside. Overall a dangerous piece of shit that really should have met its end at the crusher many years ago...
@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!
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 :)
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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?
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.
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.
