Building The Ultimate Hot Rod In 20 Minutes - Ford Free-T

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In 2019 we completed our build series on the Ford Free-T and have it carefully tucked away in preparation for the 2020 driving season. We figured it would be a great start to the year to show what the car started as; a pile of free parts, and show off the final product. The Free-T started as a slap together down and dirty hot rod that we could thrash on at the local racing events, but the plans and vision changed. The Free-T has become a one of kind car, and we hope you enjoy watching the whole process! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe, 2020 is going to be unforgettable!

    I am 81 years old and lived through a lot of the early classic hot rod times and what I have just witnessed you build is a fantastic example of highly skilled fabrication. Well done fellows.

Awesome car and and a great build series ! I'd love to see an episode called '' How Free Is That T ? '' Man hours , what did you buy sell & trade . How close did you get to a free T

Watching this car come back to life was a walk down memory lane for us. Thank you for all you and the crew bring to the table, for all your fellow Hot Rodders. Happy New Year.

    This has been the absolute best build series I have ever seen. The amount of build time you showed was excellent, and it showed just how difficult it is to build a car from scratch. This wasn't a buy all the parts and put it together with a how-to manual, this was a create each part by building it and then create the next and on and on. I was truly amazed by your ability to think on your feet and change your mind in mid-stride. This is a stepping stone to bigger and better things to come and I wish you all the luck in achieving your goals, and I hope to be here watching it all come true.
