Inventor Builds Steampunk Hot Rod From Scratch | RIDICULOUS RIDES

INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED builder of bespoke customer cars, Paul Bacon, has completed his most ambitious project yet - a steampunk hot rod built from scratch. The Automatron is a horse-drawn carriage inspired hot rod, boasting a 3.5L supercharged V8 engine with an estimated top speed of up to 110mph. Beginning with a 1924 Singer Sport base, parts were added from a variety of unlikely sources; including a switch gear from a Lancaster Bomber and the front wheels of an Austin 7. Taking over four years to complete, the build has won the maverick inventor critical acclaim, with Paul highly commended for the hot rod’s distinctive design.

    That has to be the neatest looking Rod I have seen in a long time. It captures both the steam punk feel and the old school rods of the seventies. Big Daddy Ed Roth meets Steam Punk.

    A true nod to Ed Roth, Tom Tognotti and all the other American car customizers. My hat is off to you sir. A truly beautiful and creative car. As someone that grew up in the 60's and 70's, I had the opportunity to witness first hand, the creations of cars like Mysterion, The Raiders coach, The Monkeemobile, Batmobile and numerous other unique customs. Automatron ranks high on the list. You have distinguished yourself and put your name and creativeness among the most esteemed names in the customizing world. Truly beautiful car sir. Congratulations!! Greetings and respect from a California Fan.

    So this video is 4 years old, which begs the question....how much did he get for it??!?!? As an aircraft mechanic, I am awestruck by the metal fabrication done on this amazing machine. I know what is involved in custom making a part.....A part. There are hundreds of one-off parts that you can see. Just imagine what's not visible on the video? My goodness the build hours alone bogle the mind, let alone the trial and error, and I'm sure many parts were trashed, then rebuilt until it was right. BRAVO
