80 yr old RATROD hits 172MPH + Daily prizes at StreetFire

When Tony Lee and his wife felled a tree growing through the center of a rusted 1930's sedan years ago, they couldnt imagine the project they were undertaking would end up in this- a RatRod capable of over 170 MPH. Check out www.streetfire.net for more

@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.

@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)

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
