Loved watching this! My Grandpa used to build jalopies back in the 1920's. He would trade his rifles and things for the cars, when the college kids would go back to school after working the farm on summers. When he was 13 years old, he had 13 Fords! When he was in high school, he had a build that easily evaded the local sheriff, but... living in a small town, that sheriff knew who he was, haha. Lots of great stories,... watching you build this Rat let me imaging what kinds of things my Grandpa did, back in the day. Appreciate you sharing! Patience and ingenuity... defines both of you.

I can’t say enough about how good this is. I am so glad I got to see this. Thanks so much.

My name is Steven and I'm looking forward to building my very first junk rod soon. I have cancer and want to make something with all the bits I have been gathering for the past 12 years. I want to do this for my kids before I can't do it at all. I have a Volkswagen beetle body and a 1939 Dodge D11 chasiss. Our engine is from a 1974 AMC Ramble straight 6. I have a 1.5 ton Dodge front end and a solid 70s rear end with plenty of old farm machine parts. I will call it my BUDGE! Thank you for making this seem far more easier than I imagined.

Hey Bob. Don't change a thing. Just keep doing what you've been doing. I thoroughly enjoyed this recap of the build.

You sir... are an old school hot rod builder. Not many people square up their chassis with a spray paint cross on the floor and a plum bob !!! My dad and the dirt track race team he wrenched for in minnesota. I will keep watching.thank you so much

Poking fun at those builders who are ashamed to call their Hot Rod a Rat Rod when actually it's at best a low quality Hot Rod. I would rather have a well done Rat Rod than a poorly done Hot Rod. But yes, I also consider it a work of art.

Best build on KZread hands down 100% worth a subscribe

Love the concept and really love how you made and did the webbed interior

That is some amazing work you've done. Extremely impressive, and inspiring as well. A whole lot more people may be putting together a rat rod because your instructions, so because you built one (and posting videos about it), there will be many more rods on this planet. That made the world just that much better, and for that I thank you. Lookin' forward to the next one as well.

I’m a 36 year veteran bodyman you done one hell of a job I can’t even get off my ass to paint my truck after work.

You are a artist. It's a pleasure to watch a true artist create a masterpiece. You take a idea that you see and feel and build that idea. I can feel, (possibly)exactly ( at least I hope that I do ) what you feel inside that moved you to make that idea a physical and emotional reality. It's really something! A true artist has a gift of being able to make a emotion a physical thing. ( When a person looks at a hand crafted object you created by hand that generates emotional feelings by the act of physically looking at your idea.) Amazing!! You my friend are a true artist and I thank you for the awesome time I have watching you build this rat rod. I was able to just let the world and the stress of life disappear for a hour. Awesome 👍
