A Steampunk Hot Rod That...Turns? - /BIG MUSCLE

[@hiwayM9]

One of the most beautiful machines I have ever seen- bar none.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you. I loved building it. I appreciate your appreciation. Check out our facebook page m.Facebook.com/profile.php?id=176252292420761 for more photos and such.

[@hiwayM9]

WestCoastAutoCraft My favorite detail is the centerpiece, but it wouldn't be shit without all that killer copper work on that killer and iconic body. I appreciate and respect your commitment to art over money. That is not for the faint of heart.

[@TheSupraRz]

+WestCoastAutoCraft oh my god i saw this car in person at cars and coffee, and fell absolutely in love with it.

[@paxhumana2015]

+WestCoastAutoCraft , I always wanted some genius custom vehicle builder to combine the worlds of American muscle with the Japanese itasha art design that they develop for Japanese and, on rarer occasions, European, and VERY rare occasions, American vehicles. I kind of feel like American muscle cars and muscle trucks are a HUGE void that could be very well represented in itasha format and Japan also has a surprisingly big American muscle car scene, despite even more stringent and restrictive governmental emission and other vehicle build laws than even states like California, and it could be the next big thing in the itasha scene. I always keep dreaming of a Sailor Mars (from the anime, manga, and video game series Pretty Soldier/Guardian Sailor Moon) themed 1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in a red, orange, yellow (and those three colors will fill the typical Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am phoenix logo while Sailor Mars will be standing in front of the logo, as in inside the phoenix logo itself, directly facing the person), pink, purple, and black motif and, in a weird twist, having a kind of KITT/Transformers-type interface where the vehicle will talk to you in either the English or Japanese voice for her character from that show. I know, it is a weird idea, right? Well, if you're wanting new ideas for a vehicle, then that would be a good place to start. Finally, you did a nice job on the vehicle that is on this video, sir. Keep up the good work, Mr. Chris Miranda.

[@joedesalvo3316]

thats the best looking gauge "cluster" I have ever seen

[@jmemgc76]

I'm only at 2.38 in the video and I think I can safely say this car is already on my ALL TIME list. Wow

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you. I loved building it.

[@aaroneccles6620]

+WestCoastAutoCraft Your an inspiration! That car is a masterpiece!

[@DavidKAnderson]

+Jamie Montague Same. This is world-class stuff.

[@KSKaleido]

+WestCoastAutoCraft Amazing job, and amazing build. My mind is seriously blown right now.. wish I had the money to have you build out my Mustang lol

[@mar7909]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! AND lots of power AND a manual transmission AND its light weight AND it doest have 16 airbags nor traction control perfection......

[@LorenzoNW]

AND he's in jail.

[@tdolan500]

That builder needs a series!!! What a story and what a builder!!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Hey Terry. Keep you eyes on Drive in the future. Thats all im gonna say.

[@CamoShirt]

he could call it Drive the Big Hustle. seems he started hustling people out of their money and not doing the work. shame after seeing what he can do.

[@rogerpence]

No show for him. He's in prison for 15 years! www.pressdemocrat.com/news/7413961-181/plea-deal-owner-of-west?sba=AAS

[@bobroberts2371]

According to the related article on the same site " Owners of Windsor hot rod shop arrested on theft charges " he was already on probation for drug trafficking. Plus 11:28 apparently was actually true except the person footing the bill never got the car. The reality is at 12:12 , at least he actually knows that.

[@GranDaddo]

Excellent car. Wonderful effort and execution.

[@MrThekikster]

Possibly the sickest car I've ever seen. Those copper details are freaking amazing.

[@MrStuwr250f]

That is the best Big Muscle so far, period. The car, the cinematography, the owner and the hosting absolutely outstanding. Congrats to all, very inspiring.

[@unlitdarkness6]

I hope big muscle never goes anywhere!! Been watching since the first season and im still hooked!!!

[@drivebigmuscle8080]

+unlitdarkness6 Thanks man!

[@milootje007]

Perfection. Black + copper.... who knew

[@kylereitsma7101]

+Ashish Patel This is very true, I am sure someone spends a lot of time polishing this car to keep everything this clean looking!

[@SgtStinger]

+Ashish Patel You can actually clear coat copper so it won't corrode on the visible bits at least.

[@TheLaXandro]

I immideately thought the same when I was randomising cars' apearance in The Crew and my Hot Rod ended up bronze and dark gray. It was around a month ago.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

+Ashish Patel I clear coated all of the copper so it won't oxidize.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

+Kyle Reitsma I clear coated all of the copper so it won't oxidize.

[@JasonRymell]

This vehicle is amazing on so many different levels. I pride myself on doing what little I can with the customizing ability that I have at my fingertips. After watching videos like this, it makes me want to get up, walk out the door at my day job, head home and find something to work on involving my car. I don't own a Hot Rod or anything close to it, but my car is an extension of myself and my personal views on how it should look and function. Thank you Chris Miranda @ +WestCoastAutoCraft, for being someone who inspires the rest of us to get off our asses and get our hands dirty working on our rides. As for Mike Musto, you Sir always crack me up with how much of the little kid in you comes out when you're behind the wheel of something that excites you to the point of being giddy! You are hands down my favorite /DRIVE presenter!!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you Jason! That means a lot to me. Motivating someone to create something i think is the highest honor one can experience.

[@jemini0527]

Good to see new episodes of BIG MUSCLE, keep them coming!! one of my fav car shows online!!!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

I agree. They do a great job

[@pdrizzledizzle]

Absolutely stunning, stunning car. I can honestly say I've never been more impressed by the time, the craftsmanship, and the passion put into a vehicle.

[@bobcade1002]

That is one of the most beautiful hot rods I’ve ever seen. Attention to detail on this car is over the top! Absolutely awesome!

[@clutchfreak13]

I'm not into hot rods or muscle cars (JDM fan here), but damn, this is one of the most beautiful cars ever! Real piece of art!!! Love everything about it, and that 1000+kg 650HP is mind blowing.

[@Speednote10]

That is the most beautiful hot rod I have EVER seen. I love the black - copper combo and all the details around the car, + that center guage is like a perfect little jewel topping it all off. Holy sh*t what a masterpice.

[@benjaminbuffin9812]

80th time watching this video and I just picked up on some new ways of thinking and talking about the car in question. Hats off to you Chris Miranda. Thank you Sir.

[@RamblinAround]

That thing is amazing, really like the overall theme. The fact that it's Ford powered is even better. Awesome work.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you for your compliment. If you would like to follow our work subscribe to my youtube page, follow me on instagram, and like us on facebook. .

[@damianpc1]

+WestCoastAutoCraft Nice copy and paste comments -.-

[@paxhumana2015]

+RamblinAround , well, it was built on a vehicle that technically was a replica of an old Ford vehicle, so I consider it quite apropro, all things considered.

[@arnomaas6452]

for a man who didn't get the affection he deserved as a kid , he surely gives out too much to his clients and their cars ! Such a wonderful piece of art !

[@K2edg]

Just WOW!! I've seen loads of these sort of Hot Rods but never seen one with quite so much thought and imagination put into it. Love the Copper against the black. Nothing short of Art..... Great Job.

[@MrEli204]

Just an amazing car and that centerpiece is a work of art. This car could have its own calendar with all of the amazing little details.

[@cominacatcha]

That is art bruh. Art that you can bring along and have fun together with. And that gauge, as much as I like the digital airplane like lamborghini reventon gauge, this gauge with the exposed gear and steampunk theme just blew my mind. I want one of that in my car! Good job on the car man, can't praise you enough. It's just epic!

[@jaymoe5.7]

This car is absolutley stunning in every detail! It is a true perfection of art in the form of an automobile! Everything is very tastefully done, and not to mention, it is very very well done. You sir are a very talented man, I could only wish to one day be only half as good as you are. Thank you for sharing your beautiful car!

[@jaymoe5.7]

+WestCoastAutoCraft Seriously dude you earned it, theres no way I could ever do something that precise, and you did it perfectly in every aspect, and every small detail like the copper rivets is absolutley perfect! You definately know your stuff and it definatly shows in that beauty you created. You need to be more reconised because you do flawless work, and im very glad you decided to share it with us

[@williambehr2312]

This is the most beautiful car I've ever seen. And I've seen ALOT of cars. Amazing build

[@jbelden916]

Wow, just wow, what a thing of beauty. Just the right amount of brilliance. I'm not sure if I'd rather look at it, drive it, or be seen in it more.

[@journeyofbear6423]

That ride just grew on me more and more as I watched. Pretty awesome!

[@matejjakopic7797]

A beautiful peace of Applied Arts. I was speechless when I saw this video and how was Chris Miranda describing his vision and thinking. Chris your views should reach more people. Power to the mind and abilitys. Mike thanks again for a perfect presentation and yes you really have the best job. Thanks!

[@phatone911]

Literally one of....if not THE...sexiest/best/most awe-inspiring/etc cars ive ever laid eyes on. I would pay just to see it in person. Jesus man. HELL of an artwork. In every aspect. Cannot imagine the pride the builder has when he reflects on this.

[@LorenzoNW]

Neither can I. www.bbb.org/us/ca/cloverdale/profile/used-car-dealers/west-coast-auto-craft-1116-354424 www.yelp.com/biz/west-coast-auto-craft-santa-rosa www.ripoffreport.com/reports/west-coast-auto-craft/windsor-california-95492/west-coast-auto-craft-wcac-took-money-did-not-perform-work-refused-to-return-payment-wi-1341005

[@brockjohnson4389]

madd props to you builder and much respect! not first said because of your awesome build but to whom you are!! great people

[@jeremys9283]

Wow, those looks are so awesome and discreet. The sound of the engine is just beautiful.... OOooh I want one like that!

[@kjparlay]

That gauge pod is now the background on my PC. Possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Well done Mrs. Miranda.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you so much!

[@derekhartley4480]

I am currently looking at going to school to learn some fabricating and i must say seeing beautiful creations like this is incredibly inspiring to me. Keep up the great work and keep showing the world your art. Thank you!

[@sebastianbunea5174]

Ok... This is truly a one of a kind build. I love everything about it, it's just perfect!

[@StevieC65]

That is quite possibly the coolest, most beautiful car I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Wow Steve! Thank you for your compliment. It is overwhelming when people say things like that about my work.

[@jamesk3889]

I don't think I've ever been a rodder per se, but this automobile is absolutely beautiful, congratulations.

[@cswengel42]

Its cars like this that put a smile on my face. Just watching you guys drive it is enough fun for me

[@BladeDemon17]

the copper on that car just works.....first time I've seen that and it's just plain gorgeous. very very nice work.

[@MetalManIbanez]

That's nuts!! easily the coolest hot rod i've ever seen, THE GAUGES ARE MAGNIFICENT

[@scottmcgregor2757]

Beautiful i hope i come back as a car builder with your kind of brain one day. I sure got screwed over this time around. dont think i could put a big wheel together. Well done!!!!!!!!

[@Wagon_Attack]

"I get to build my cars with other peoples money"

[@LorenzoNW]

@LogicalSense The dream is over. Now he's paying the price.

[@Jodah175]

there is but ONE thing I would change if this was my car, slightly larger rear tires. This car is amazingly well done and it's absolutely freaking gorgeous! love it!

[@walkersmith8865]

I think this is the most creative and artistically pleasing built car ever showcased on big muscle.

[@TheAngry1]

the black and copper, the minimalist design with attention to detail. wow. great looking car.

[@baloonia1]

That Hot Rod looks absolutely fantastic. Love the theme and the it is hand crafted. Also I agree about old tools and machinery. Most of them aren't built like they used too.

[@divyajnana]

What a work of art, and hats off to your wife, that gauge is fabulous!

[@sprenky72]

Favorite episode for sure! 10/10, A+, 100%! Great car, great story, cool builder, very unique.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you Luke. Not sure if I'm Cool, but i sure enjoy the work.

[@TVmadethemdoit]

This thing is wicked badass! I can't get over the story of Chris wondering in to a metal shop as a homeless child and the guy takes him under his wing. I am in love with this beautiful, beautiful piece of art! The clock is fkn sick, I love steampunk and Chris' mind! Thank you for your contribution to the human race.

[@LorenzoNW]

Apparently, you don't know the whole story. www.bbb.org/us/ca/cloverdale/profile/used-car-dealers/west-coast-auto-craft-1116-354424 www.yelp.com/biz/west-coast-auto-craft-santa-rosa www.ripoffreport.com/reports/west-coast-auto-craft/windsor-california-95492/west-coast-auto-craft-wcac-took-money-did-not-perform-work-refused-to-return-payment-wi-1341005

Greetings from South Africa. here we have a great passion for cars .Your steampunk inspired hotrod is breathtaking. cheers

+WestCoastAutoCraft Don't have Facebook but I found the Instagram page! Thanks.

[@adilsonlegalyt9647]

+WestCoastAutoCraft You are not a car builder, you are a master artisan, congrats.

[@brucegibbins3792]

This car, well, its a big, bad, black beast and its magic. The unique styling and detail, the thought and care and the special level of creativity needed to give birth to this drem car come from the multidimenionl talents of a specil kind of creator: a metal moulding magician who never needed to sell his soul at the crossroads in order to turn his dream into such wonderful reality. But yet there is more, much more, because this machine is alive, even while standing still in quiet contempltion of its next powerful run. The sound of the exhaust is pure metal, a symphonice roar of a massive out pouring of power in quick succession one powerful blow on Titans anvil - one after the other - a big block sound like no other and a dream car like no ofher. You ha I ve enriched my life and my stock '39 Oldsmobile and I will be forever humbled by your wondrful cars existence. Many, many thanks.

[@trailchoco]

beautifull, is not enough to describe this car..........

[@duosonic391]

that is a gorgeous piece of art for the eyes, ears, all of the senses really

[@jody024]

What a build, mad respect for the builder specially as a fan of steampunk i dig this ride

[@bobfrode]

A true craftsman and craftswoman :) Must agree that this is one of the best car ive seen (and heard) ytd ..."when driving it it feels like collecting souls"...hehe

[@86ergaso4]

im in tears..... its the fuckin beauty AND the beast. plus that combination with steampunk and rosé metal. you built a dream.

[@jeffmitts5363]

I'm not typically taken with this style of hot rod but he nailed it with this. Very cool. Mike said it best.... it has a soul.

[@salvadorhurtado3704]

Hell yeah ! I love America ! This is probably the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen, truly timeless! This can go to any event and steal the show and become the talk of the night ! Just classy.... classy.

[@LorenzoNW]

Classy car but apparently not a very classy person. More than a show was stolen: www.bbb.org/us/ca/cloverdale/profile/used-car-dealers/west-coast-auto-craft-1116-354424/details#additional-info www.yelp.com/biz/west-coast-auto-craft-santa-rosa

[@silent_insanity3631]

Absolutely love this car and I appreciate the craftsmanship.

[@ZelosZelo]

That is truly what makes good art. Doing it for the passion, love and commitment. Doing it to get rich just makes junk since your passion is the money not the art.

[@AnAutoEnthusiastsLife]

I saw this car back in May of 2015 and it is amazing. I did shoot some video of the car, but I abandoned my channel later that year. I am working on rebuilding the channel now and pulled up my footage of this car, which is nothing like this one. Chris was awesome to chat with and told me about his history and how he got into building, or should I say crafting. Now that I need to get back to my editing.Thanks for an amazing video!

[@sparkymikeh]

I take my hat off to you Chris! That's a FINE piece of art!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you so much i appreciate your feedback.

[@gregorylopez3155]

Outstanding build,very impressed with the balance of the build.sweet

[@randybock82]

That guage is awesome! Beautiful car Chris. Im glad you have it.

[@ScoobyDigites]

awesome ride just looks good no matter what angle you see it from. Classy while screaming hot rod with a touch of madness and creativity.

[@Ogsonofgroo]

Still beautiful gem, brilliant job on the build, stunning!

[@mrcha84]

What a tastefully built car!Definitely best steampunk inspired hotrod i have ever seen.Only thing that can compare to this,in term of taste nad idea,is Pagani Huayra.Although i don't like modern rubber on hotrods,that spiked rims and that white outline makes them look so cool.The "clock" is just...perfect...

[@peterkompter2417]

the best thing l liked about the builder othetr than a beayutiful car is that he let the guy drive the car with a hard foot, thanx guys great piece of art

[@zageretokintaman]

I think it is the most beautiful car, and one of the most beautiful thing, I have ever seen.

[@atomicop]

Easily one of the sexiest hot rods I've ever seen. That instrument cluster is amazing!

[@sqeric]

really like guys who are humbel mellow sweet and quiet. when take peak in the shop. your mindblown by craftmentship quality car build going on. really nice episode. big thumbs for criss

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it.

[@kr9735]

The whole car is a gem but the instrument cluster is an absolute joy to behold!

[@TheTheLyan]

LS engines are cool but thumbs up for being a bit different with the BBF. Probably one of the coolest roadsters I have seen to date.

[@ecannon649]

The car itself is second to none. But that gauge cluster steals the show, it is so unique, it fits the car so well. Great job!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you E. Yes i think you are right. My wife designed it, and i am her biggest fan!

[@Matt-vz5wy]

this car is absolutely amazing. ive never seen anything like it. i love it. its perfect.

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

That is simply beyond kewl!!! Words can't describe how artistically gorgeous it is. The only tiny negative is running a 3.55:1 rear end with a 5-speed tranny with that big block Ford motor.... geez that is overkill, inefficient, and too old school! I'd run a 3.08:1 with a 6-speed box to drop those revs down at cruise and still maintain the WOW factor going through the gears. It would improve the comfort sound level immensely at 'legal' highway speeds providing a music-to-the-ears low big-block rumble while also extending fuel range considerably. And anytime you feel frisky drop 'er down a cog or two and let 'er rip. At least you'd have that wonderful option. Artistic creations should also be as functional as possible without detracting from the driving experience of course. Overall a fabulous fabulous creation!

[@cgpilk]

Those dials are amazing, the copper throughout the whole car looks great.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Im glad you like it! Thank you!

[@dylanhammerstein3059]

wOw. Simply the man is a genius. With out doubt the nicest hot rod I've ever seen. Enough said.

[@branon6565]

The best part of this episode? The car builder is the most unassuming dude, I mean, could he be any more humble? And OMFG what a BEAST OF A FORD POWERED HOTROD!!

[@chadsimmons6347]

its what car builders would have wanted to be built in the future 80 years ago.(.GREAT JOB MAN )

[@rjk49]

The car is great! But so is the shop! As a retired Ironworker I've moved a lot of machinery in over thirty years and the old stuff is very cool!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thank you Russ! I love old stuff. Its historical. I think everyone who works metal begins to appreciate the history behind the craft.

[@artvazquez7700]

[@snobotz]

Great work! I love the seats, and everything else.

[@jlopez1017d]

Stop! 2 minutes into the video and I'm in love with this car I want it so bad. Keep making Big Muscle videos Mike they're all quality work

[@benjohn626]

I am NOT a hot rod guy by any means but i watch every episode of big muscle. I gotta say, this thing is gorgeous and I've wanted it since i first laid eyes on it. I also love how badly i wanted it when they didn't even mention the power until 11 minutes in. like that thing could have 135HP and i would still want it. absolutely phenomenal.

[@ronmcjez]

What an amazing car. There are a lot of builders who would have taken the steam punk theme way over the top by tacking on pointless bits just to look the part and ending up with a cartoon, this has just the right amount of everything. A perfect example of less being more.

[@talbot6050]

One of the best engineering piece of art I’ve seen

[@Chris-from-AZ]

The craftsmenship that went into that car is crazy and it make the body pop with the high lights

[@AllenSAshley]

How could you ever drive this? This thing belongs in a museum, it's too perfect.

[@constructivecritique4049]

Man, the reddish-tint of the copper REALLY sets this car off. And, also, I've got a feeling whitewall tires will be making a comeback.

[@57WillysCJ]

Glad to see the use of copper and aluminum. Fiberglass bodies made to look like old cars just lacks something. Also there are two materials used to plate steel before chrome is added, copper and nickel both of which are beautiful finishes in their own right. Both are largely ignored.

[@nezerac]

How have I not seen this video yet? The builder is a total stud too! Love his mentality!

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

Thanks!

[@nezerac]

WestCoastAutoCraft Dude seriously. I'm getting my ducks in a row to start my own show soon called Hard Body Cars. I'd LOVE to have you on some time! Your mentality is exactly what I'm trying to propagate amongst enthusiast.

[@WestCoastAutoCraft]

+nezerac just let me know

[@nezerac]

WestCoastAutoCraft I definitely will. Website should be launching in june! Maybe September if I can't if I don't have the amount of content readily available for a launch that I'd like. But details will come down the pike as soon as we're full fledged and legit. lol

[@VErzene1979]

Omg the speedo with the gears is an idea i had few years ago and now i see it here wow its awesome like a fine watch....

[@DZoneMotorsportTV]

An immaculate work of art. I love it. That's all that needs to be said.

[@profezzorx9131]

Simplistic, but beautiful. I love the color combination of copper and black.

[@finlay230]

11:10 that aint no joke, pure magic !!! Mikes expressions tells it all

[@shawnh.2334]

you guys are quickly becoming one of the best shows on youtube

[@alabamagreaser]

I initially wanted to hate this car. I don't care for the steampunk scene or street rods with the thin tire/big rim combos and such. I'm more of the traditional hot rod type, look at my 1951 ford and you'll see. But this car is truly a beautiful work of art and Chris Miranda is an exceptional builder. Good job!
