That valve manifold is really cool! You might want to mount it on the ceiling since it’s kind of got the look of the throttle on an old airplane.

Don't think there is room there since the cab is small and the roof is really low now that I chopped it. But that would be cool.

Dang, that controller is a thing of beauty! That must be, one powerful thinking chair you got there, Bob! 👍Tony

Yep .. that thinking chair is like the new age AI systems ... it's constantly learning. LOL

I have to say, that controller is a piece of hot rod artwork! Well Done, Sir...

It’s things like this awesome controller that seperate your works of art, from normal rat rods....You the man Bob...

With gauges, and valves you're going down a Steampunk route, I reckon this will be as cool as Hell. Maybe craft in some copper lines and a Moonshine still on the truck bed?

Bob that's the best looking controller I've ever seen. Awesome

I must say I've watched a lot of ratrod builders, you have to be in the top 5, maybe even number 1. Others order a lot of parts, but you and Johnathan Ward build what you need, and teach others how to do it. So I guess you and Johnathan are in the top spots in my book. Grant video have enjoyed watching you build this truck.

Nose art on the fighter planes. Aviation style controls. Gun sight hood ornament. Sheet metal bucket seats . im digging it. I like the planes with the shark teeth.

Air Bag System - Manual Controller... what a "Great" idea. Looking good. Stay Safe.

Looks like something from a p51.. awesome rat rod style! right on Bob😉

That's awesome looks like the old ww2 airplane control's , 👍🏾👍🏾

Nice work Bob.

Maybe at some point think about putting some indexed detents on the pressure valves for different ride heights. You could use some ball springs on a curved bracket to catch on the speed holes in the handles. That thing's going to be scary cool!

donuthole4sale some of the best engineers in American history have no FORMAL education. The only thing a FORMAL education gives you is a piece of paper telling your prospective employer that you are trainable!! I’m sorry, I know I probly gonna ruffle a bunch of feathers out there with this comment but every one of you that’s been thru any of the FORMAL education centers that we have in America can attest that nobody upon graduating can walk into their new employers office on day one with any idea of what to do, even tho you just spent at minimum of the past 4 years studying the specific job that your about to jump into and you then spend the next 30 years in on the job training, learning something new everyday. A person that has the desire to learn a trade or skill or profession merely needs to learn the basic science, mathematical or whatever fundamentals that their profession is based off of and then you will be ready to jump in just as the 4-6 year FORMAL education warriors have except your at least 3 years ahead of schedule and carry no FORMAL education debt that will require you to make payments on for the next 20 years!! I’m sorry donuthole4sale, but your glamorous dreams of a FORMAL education are grossly overrated and a young-un today would be years ahead of their peers just by attending the local trade school nowadays. There are very few professions that can justify the time and money spent to receive a fancy piece of paper that only shows that he/she knows how to properly prepare fore a test!!

Bob, this thing is looking more and more along that P51 fighter look. Maybe you should think of painting that snout with the snarling sharp toothed mouth like the fighters had. Them stitch welds could look a little like rivets on the plane if you turn your head just the right way. Another cool idea Bob!

Ok Bob, you have my complete and undivided attention, HML. This is borderline genius in it's simplicity and I would definitely apply this design and plumbing into my own rot rod when the time comes. I will be waiting for your future build videos as I try to glean as much info as you have to offer, good sir.

You can buy little mufflers for the air out to quiet it down a bit. I’ve got them on mine. Can still hear it well but it’s not so loud. Those valves are pretty damn cool though. I dig it.

You are correct, sir. It is COOL AS HELL!!! 👍

That is really slick! So you spent a bit of money on this phase of the build. Any worthwhile project is always behind schedule and over budget! My Nissan Patrol 4x4 is 3 1/2 years and at least a truck load of dollars in the making. But what the heck. It'll be an accomplishment when it's done. As always, you keep me inspired, Bob.

Lets call it the B47 RatRod..... Stands for Bobs 47............ man its cool

I don’t know where you come up with these ideas. Very Kewl.

Bob I just won't you to know I think ever time you build something you knock it out the park.lot of time and money but they wont be one like it cant wait to see it in action grate video keep killing it pop's

Hey Bob I think you should run that exhaust from the airbags through the floor underneath the truck so when you release the air whatever dirt or dust is underneath it'll blow it out kind of like when a diesel releases its air brake and you see that puff of dust or dirt come out
