You’re a great Canadian guru of automobile perfection it doesn’t matter Resto mods today’s mods and everybody’s mods

Dave,thank you for this. It made this old man reminisce about my youth. True rat rods are today’s hot rods. They didn’t come in a box via fed ex or ups. It doesn’t take much ingenuity to build a hot rod in a box.

Happy to hear we could bring you back to those days!

I grew up in Southern California saw all these crazy cars and just thought that was everywhere, didn’t realize it until I moved out on how blessed I was seeing and living in that area. Thanks for the great video and memories.

Nice presentation, l think we’re about the same age and we were lucky to have witnessed this stuff as it happened.

Really enjoyed your video on hot rods. Grew up in So Cal and witnessed the evolution and at 83 still driving a '30 Model A coupe and a '32 roadster. It's in my DNA.

So cool🔥

Excellent video. Very well done. I've missed you guys on TV but look forward to your new platform. 🤠👍

Thanks for watching, glad to have you back!

Its great when we hear from someone who has lived through most of what they are describing. I remember Hot Wheels also playing a big role. 😎

Always ''a propos'' and interesting. Hope you will continue this format for a long time, there is so much to learn about this industry.

Thank you for stirring up some fond memories of when I was a child adoring SoCal hot rods !!! I have family in Southern California that I visit occasionally and I can tell that the hot rods are alive and thriving...

Hey Keith, So glad you enjoyed our episode. With so much great hot rod history to share, it wasn't easy deciding what to include, but the story couldn't have been told without mentioning your father. Dick Dean was an integral figure in shaping and influencing hot rod culture, and his legacy continues to inspire enthusiasts around the world. Thanks for tuning in!

A great video and some period cut ins fed the story. It was a 36’ or perhaps a 35’ Ford that is suspected as the basis for the first competition car my grandfather built in 1936 married with a 21 stud sidevalve and used for trials driving here in UK. From that he built 12 ‘copies’ for customer’s such was the first car’s success. Postwar a whole car building business blossomed from that one starter, very rare for a one off builder to achieve it. Come full circle after the 50’s went then car building was not viable for many British companies he got interested in drag racing, a sport non-existent in the UK until he made it a sport with the first British dragster running in 1962. Having just been at Santa Pod celebrating 60 years of British drag racing and all 3 original dragsters and the Moon ‘Mooneyes replica over it was a great time. The place was covered in hot rod and now understanding what a rat rod is there were those too. My grandfather was Sydney Allard, he might have been born a Londoner but he had so much in common with you rodders. The main idea was to stick it to the major sportscar racing manufacturers which his cars managed to do over a decade before the AC Cobra. Again thank you I have learned a lot.

Dave, thanks for this almost scholarly account of hot rod history! I have not heard such a thorough discussion. And just a reminder to everyone that Dave and his shop are located in small town Ontario north of Toronto…. far, far away from California! Amazingly knowledgeable account.

You need to visit Iron Trap Garage in Pennsylvania!

I'm about the same age as Dave and in the 1970's the trend was street rods. A kind of almost a hot rod but setup as a driveable custom car that was reliable but really even only mildly hopped up stock engines, even if you had a 671 blower on it. Back then I was a member of the National Street Rod Association and had a '34 Plymouth tudor sedan. I think people spent more on chrome back then, then anything else.

You forgot to mention Kustoms you know chopped and dropped customs "lead sleds"... there were builders from East LA like the Ayala Brothers, George Barris was not the only one.

The license plate. THX 138. the same as the Falfa's 32 duese in American Graffiti.

Good Vid.

An actual roadster windshield frame would be a great improvement. That one is just wrong.

Well, it’s actually not a roadster, so… People seldom brag about having a “Coupster” as so few are done well.

How about you take that Austin Martin and put a Bahra motor maybe a turbo With tremec transmission

At 19:08 you have a pictrure of my 32 3 window coupe at El Mirage for an SCTA meat with some girls on it. cool.

That big back window is something I've never seen on a Briggs body before. Anybody know if it's factory or custom?

Dude, the 70’s called. It wants its hair style back

98 / 5.000 I keep looking for Ford hot rods from the years 1935 and 1936, aren't there any, or aren't they legal to build?

There are lots, but those are very desirable years and command premium prices.

I had to turn it off after just a few minutes. The added in "vintaging" of the video made it unwatchable.

You forgot Homer Simpson😅

O yes and back in the day all those cars looked as candy ass as the bright red shinny ass car you are showing off hot rod cars have become more of a show peice and less of the real deal more panted up chromed out toy then period correct street rods
