1936 Chevy Grille on a Rat Rod Go Kart???

This week we make some cosmetic modifications to our rat rod wagon go kart equipped with a Briggs and Stratton 5 horsepower engine. These include a grille (from a 1936 Chevrolet), headlights, and taillights.

That grille and lights make that wagon, truly the rat wagon you've been try'n to build.

[@Mrcrowntown]

Mount the lights to the spindles so when you steer, it points whatever way you're steering. Food for thought... 😉

[@Mrcrowntown]

and don't hate the vape yo

[@CarsandCameras]

Thought about it... I don't remember why we didn't go with it.

[@Mrcrowntown]

Well I see an issue with them being too wide to look good if they were mounted directly above the spindle, and would require some finagling to mount if you wanted them closer to the grill. Either way, you guys rock, and it'll be fine just the way it is!

[@madcowraceteam]

I think the grill needs the bottom cut parallel to the ground and dropped about 2-3 inches.

[@jiimmyboy63]

this exactly. cut an angle upward from the center on each side on the bottom. would look sweet.

[@stephentroyer3831]

Yeah, a little trimming off of the bottom for level would go a long way.

[@abrahamnakayama5865]

I was just about to say this

[@ArturBernardoMallmann]

i though the same!

[@ExplizitDuester]

nice aproach

[@SovaKlr]

when you held the lights up and said it's too wide I wanted to smack somebody... it's perfect

[@blackpup3624]

Saaaaaaaame

[@purexroyalty20179]

It looked good

[@JonBorpa]

its a rat rod its supposed to be wide and goofy

[@mattstrudwick9627]

That's what I thought too

[@babyshark5333]

It will be fine

[@meantalscar4505]

you guys should do a racing lawn mower build

[@nickouellette4305]

YES!!

[@andreww6447]

Agree. Or an off road lawnmower!

[@bryantcrews4594]

Yes off-road mowrr

[@rmaul2469]

Moar pwr Mower

[@xSPACEGAMERZx]

Been waiting for this or a mud mower for a long time. Hope they do it sometime

[@stephentroyer3831]

The lights and grille look great! I think it brings this build from a wagon with a motor to a little rat rod with a wagon body.

[@luvstruck2733]

Way to go Ike, on the 53 Chevy. I have seen people drill out late model bell housings to mount the transmission. Would love to see more of the 53.

[@Andrewlang90]

I wouldn't feel bad about the grill. The fact that it was going to the crusher, and the cost to have it restored, you guys did the right thing. It's a perfect touch for it.

[@HellzJester1]

yall remind me of motor trends Roadkill series, just with gokarts

[@MoMoneyMeric518]

Yeah I just thought of that your right

[@91voltron]

This is the only show I watch religiously every week.

[@audiotechlabs4650]

Another insane video! I figured out why I love you guys so much. I'm in my 60s and you two are doing things I did when I was your age. When I watch these great videos, I feel 18 again! Keep making videos so I can feel young again! Thankz

[@dream2sea]

Love it!!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

glad you like it. thanks for watching

[@jclair4617]

I didn't think about getting a kart till I started watching these guys. now I have been working on/riding mine all summer an having a great time. I'm 62 bitches

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

awesome

[@Mustang68GT390]

Isaac it'll be fine I'm 56 and in the process of building 5 mini bikes at the moment...my son is 14 and seems like I am having more fun then he is building...he is more interested in a go cart now...most of the mini bikes run the predator 212 motors have a few DB30s a Manco Thunderbird, and older Sears model mini bike and a home made chopper bike... Hardest part of owning theses bikes are places to ride around at.its fun with my son and 4 of his friends riding around the neighborhood like a little street gang lol...having ms I can't ride much but I still do can't resist

[@wisdom-human3126]

I REALLY LIKE THE LIGHTS AND GRILL

[@mans0n69]

The grill is decent, just needs some TLC...keep it.

[@nathanhorrigan2518]

I think it looks really cool with the grille. Good Job!

[@CoopGaming]

guys I think you should weld some pices of metal to the lower end of the grill and mage every SPOKE(?) paralel with the ground and it will make an arrow shape and WILL LOOK SICK like MEAN and very RAT!

[@willknox4089]

CoopGaming I

[@davidgranlie8745]

hold this comment in a odd number of likes!

[@thomascretier1667]

no

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

I think the grille and lights look pretty cool! I agree that it's missing something, but can't put my finger on it either. I say keep it for now and see if it grows on ya! John, get a Skyline! I love the R32s, sedan included. They're a bit pricey right now, just because they're recently legal and have JDM tax applied, but wait for the market to flood with them and get one when they're priced more realistically.

[@motorhead1884]

running boards and fenders idk

[@sambrown6765]

Grill*

[@gavinvales8928]

windscreen

[@joshuapearson2857]

the grille is OK, I think the only improvement would be a bottom level cut, and drop it an inch or two, but definitely keep either way. the lights however, definitely made sexy happen! touch up the paint and clear coat it, that hot rod will be ready for a show lol. I also wanted to suggest maybe getting an RC car battery with a Kyosho connector, and wiring the lights to that, it'll save you in AA or C batteries, and it can be recharged easily. again, it's totally up to you guys, she's your brainchild! I'm absolutely loving the build!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@zinnstigertownmowers780]

seems like the rat rod has seen many improvements over these months

[@dream2sea]

ikr?!

[@0truckmafk]

I like it. You need a little bumper on her at the bottom of the grill to cover up those frame-ends. Looking great.

[@CarsandCameras]

I *still* don't know how I feel about it.

[@orkanozgur3749]

You shoud feel GREAT about it.

[@4coltsfreaks]

I LOVE YOU GUYS (no homo)

[@PasquaPlays]

Hey, its a Rat Rod. Its supposed to look like that.

[@xSoLxHades]

Hi

[@dagoat890]

It looks a bit like a hot-rod lawn mower, but that's cool ja?

[@Mastapoole]

I really enjoy watching your go kart builds

[@TwitchFast]

0:02 Cat.exe locks onto bird, RIP.

[@dream2sea]

Oh YEAH

[@jasonphillips4229]

lol I didn't even see that!Good one!

[@Funminotaur]

And a jaguar is watching the bird

[@Funminotaur]

the*

[@Tkm112093evadell]

You should definitely add that last wreck into the bush and the tree to your intro!!

[@dannywhite132]

thinking you could put some wheel arches over the rear wheels or something just to make it look even cooler

[@isaaclyonsf1]

I agree!

[@mcjok88]

DUDE! I know the video is from back in the DAY... THE DEW AND THE FACE FUZZ PLAYS! I VOTE FOR A RETRO COMEBACK. THE LOOK IS AWSOME!

[@cryban7011]

well it looks awesome. it makes it a rat rod. thumbs up!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@tyronegamingshorts]

It'll be fine.

[@joshuarinehart4406]

keep the grill on it, makes it look more like a legit rat rod, keep up the great work.

[@lynmar]

i would love to see some videos on ikes car build, thatd be sweet

[@BennHerr]

Suggest adding - (1) A roll pan under the grill (road sign or something). (2) Flames from the exhaust.

[@Camerons16]

Now it just needs some shiny headers just for the looks!

[@gadgetmantwincities]

Now it's a nice Art Deco piece!

[@doug___1jz]

Your guys should make an autocross course in the driveway (or parking lot) and race all the karts...kinda like what roadkill did

[@matthewcleaver2493]

Yes

[@matthewcleaver2493]

Yes

[@CarsandCameras]

We really want to! No one wants to let us use a parking lot :(

[@classifiedproductions397]

if you guys were closer to me I know a perfect spot in va nice turns and everything lol but I would put in almost like a sissy bar with the right amount of rust and paint I think it could be sweet maybe even hit up the DMV and get a sample plate to match

[@slugmouthtre6724]

I think you guys should paint the whole cart red and the grill chrome with the blacc bottom frame

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

The grill looks awesome, guys. Keep it just like that.

[@chrispychickin]

I like it, over all. One thing that would help the look, IMO, is to replace the LEDs in the headlights with warm white ones. The cool white makes me think of dicks in 2000s compact cars who run 50 dollar ebay HID headlights, ie. not very rat-roddy. BTW, here in NZ the 4-door skylines are very common to see on the streets. They made a 2.0 N/A, a 2.5 N/A, and a 2.5 single turbo version at different years. Theyre definitely not super reliable, but no less reliable than any other jap car of the era, assuming it's not been thrashed. I'm a fan of the 4-door, I always thought it'd be cool to get a RB25DE version and do it up with ITB's and tune it for stupid rpm. They sound amazing naturally aspirated when done correctly. It's cool you guys are able to get the R32's now with the 25 year law, just a pity it's going to reduce the amount of clean skylines for the rest of us ;) Keep up the great work boys, your projects are really fun to watch!

[@CarsandCameras]

Thanks for your opinion on the wagon and R32. From what I understand, the RB20DET isn't a great motor if you're trying to make a bunch of power. What makes them unreliable?

[@chrispychickin]

nothing in particular makes them UNreliable as such, just the fact that it's a 25+ year old (semi) sports car. If 26dett is anything to go by, the oil pumps are a common point of failure especially when you start pushing the engine. Looking at Wikipedia, I notice the 25det wasn't used till the r33, the 20det definitely isn't a common choice to tune, I honestly don't know if it'd be good for power or not. I'm sure it COULD be with enough money thrown at it! Also, be aware there's a 20de and a 20e, if you weren't aware. Single vs dual ohc. Sorry I can't be more helpful, I haven't owned any (high performance) skylines, only a very brief stint with a 4 door r33 25de. Fortunately for you, the internet has many, many builds and piles of info on all of them, even the ridiculous ca18de 80-something horse r32 :) peace out!

[@moparcasey3135]

It's the bottom of the grill that looks funny, cut it parallel to the ground. I love it!!! Yes More videos on the 53!!!!

[@loganday5429]

I'm not sure what his name his because I'm new, but that one guy with the hat backwards reminds of Ricky bobby😂 Subbed

[@jasonsoto6623]

His name is Ike

[@x00xero00x]

same

[@MrJerrykenner]

That's awesome!!!! I never even realized that!!!!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@ninman8617]

CityLife Outdoors that's Ike and he pretty much is

[@rorymcleod4463]

You guys need to find a parade to drive that thing in! I think it looks great.

[@rogeliojimenez9667]

I say ya put a flame thrower on it since it's a rat rod

[@zackftw2748]

I agree with Ike when he said that he likes the grill but he also liked the way it was before

[@MrSpanky473]

I take it Ike has the knowledge, and you have the funds?

[@mrskaterelf]

thats the dynamic

[@NOOOOOOO0OOOOO]

Exactly.

[@hellahondas757]

it's Ikes playground pretty much

[@lanebradford3235]

Ig you actually fallow these guys and pay attention yes while Ike is the knowlagable one he is also smart. Yes he has money but he still has some smarts and knows what he is doing.

[@lanebradford3235]

If*

[@355east3]

a big yes to the old chevy videos

[@drutang]

keep the lights and grill! more of ikes chevy!!

[@MrSzero13]

Oh and put a little fog machine behind the grill... haha with those hedlights it would be sick lol, and maybe another colored underglows haha

[@meantalscar4505]

#1

[@ducknorris9715]

(A)

[@alavergadelasierra2036]

Keep featuring Ike's rides! I looked forward to getting to see all of his cool vehicles we see in the background of cart builds etc. Please bring that back and I'd even like to see John's Miata progress and Taylor's cars too!

[@turboboy0]

Nothing like repurposing old car or truck parts.

[@reygar]

The grill is a definite improvement. it help define it more as some kind of go kart by hiding the engine.Next project? Easy, build 2 mini jeeps so ya'll can race them!! It'll be fine!!

[@zukislumber]

Hell yeah, show us Ike's Chevy.

[@blakeedwards7294]

I would love to see more videos of your cars!

[@jonathangoddard7561]

you need to cut the bottom of the grilling V-shaped and trim it with some small tube. love it

[@gtashepards6928]

I love the rat rod wagon it's probably my favorite nice job guys! It's come a long way!

[@MrArturs123456]

The lights to me looks awesome, but the grille - I think you could cut it twice as lower, so it reaches only the top of the lights, or a tiny bit above. And when you cut the bottom, cut it in angle so the cut line is parallel to the ground. Pull start - extend a cord and fit a pulley for it somewhere near carburetor so the cord goes around the carb and you can start it from the sitting position! Yayy!

[@onestone19063]

I love the look guys.

[@joshuamartinez9496]

All of your cards are badass but by far the sun is my favorite can't wait to build a radio flyer

[@Chromov113]

Turned out great. Really, the best thing you could do with this old rusty grill.

[@tylerpowell3616]

this channel should be called karts and camera's... radio flyer kart is so badass

[@jesuspieces5480]

When john said put some dirt on it 😂😂😂 I died.... it'll be fine

[@SmR8008]

love it with the grill😊

[@dakotahneal8110]

Ike doing a hotrod/roadkill garage style show would be GOLD

[@Hedwardwynn]

Thanks for naming the inch worm after me boys. Haha. That was too funny.

[@edwardtimothytall]

2nd that 😆

[@cadenrossi6243]

Love the build

[@railsrust]

My new nickname for this thing is now the "Tetanus Express." LOL

[@johnreese2765]

Add a front bumper that hides the steering rods behind it. Then shorten the grill and mount it on top of bumper standing straight up above steering rods. It will be close to the engine looking more integrated into the whole picture. Keep it tilt able for the pull start. Pretty much raising it up and pulling closer to engine then using a flat wide bumper to hide the rods and so the grill doesn't look like its floating in air out front and more like its a integrated functional part of the whole. The bumper will tie all the aesthetic features together. If you mount all on the bumper too, you can make it a bolt on assembly bumper, lights, grill.

[@TomsChevelle]

Good job, keep the grill and lights, looks cool.

[@jordan1cooler]

I would buy most of this stuff from you guys. You are awesome.

[@catfishmedia9543]

I like the dynamic duo thing you guys got goin on

[@El_Chompo]

From behind it looks like mario kart because they're riding right on the back axle. Really awesome creation. I already liked it a lot and you made it even better.

[@AtofioAgka8i]

Keep it! It's amazing! It used too be amazing, it was good without cutting and it still is! It's like a rat rod! Loving it!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@TurtleRunna]

Love the Rat Rod!! Make the bottom of the grille match the top and make it have a curve at the bottom back to the frame. Also you guys should find an old tractor seat! With a rusty tractor seat itll probably match more with the rust and old rat rod style!

[@brandondeel3567]

You guys should do a fancy air cleaner on it. probably one of the most common mods in the early days. put a chrome pancake air cleaner in it(if you can even find them small enough), chrome dipped header and a seat with a short back on it. also would be cool to chrome dip the wheels. no chrome spray paint, it looks cheap and terrible. a charger style grille would look really cool. incorperate the headlights into the grille. it would definitely require a lot more work but it could be neat! at the same time, it does look 30's era, probably best to leave it. I know it's the rat wagon but it would be sweet if you really shined everything up. or murder it out. ever mess with plastidip? great option for "testing purposes". great videos, keep em coming! I'm a carolinian myself but unfortunately I've made my way down to Florida. born and raised in Florence sc, lived in Jacksonville nc and Raleigh/wake forest. really miss it! you should get an old z. 260z with a later model engine transplant. vq35 out the 350z would be sweet!

[@danielrichard4512]

Keep the grill and lights it look great, good job guys

[@jimh309]

New here too! I think it looks great! A great way to immortalize the grill too!

[@richardvogtjr4646]

💯% gotta keep the grill and the back tilted angle.without it doesn't have that error vibe RAT ROD open wheels no hood flat head front end engine over sized headlights Just need to angle cut bottom grill to have a parallel cut with the ground...keep em coming.

[@thereal78fummins77]

Damn! Nice job guys!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@brendanchoy7483]

definitely keep the grill and head lights. It looks wicked

[@tomparnell4718]

I think you should drop it a couple of inches and add a vintage hood ornament . Maybe rear bumper? keep up the good work !

[@justindastar]

hell yeah i'de watch him work on that old piece.

[@45bobinette]

the grill looks really awesome with the lights but what it is missing is a little chromed front bumper that would be sickkkk !

[@TheLukeantony]

should put a hinged grill hinge at bottom and locking clasp at top.. love the rat rod

[@spliphdubius2981]

grille looks good. just need to taper off the bottom so it lines up flush with the ground.

[@theknarlyboy]

When you guys go to ikes place you always walk past just tonnes of awesome cars, wish you could stop and talk about some of them. Theres a sweet volvo estate out the front that would be awesome to know about.

[@onebadsavage26]

If you want to push the grill back but avoid the starting issue...look at your lawn mower. most have a remote pull cord mounted up in the handle. You could do that down on the side of the motor somewhere. Just a thought.

[@ryanwopat4739]

Like the look on the cart! I'd love to see some videos on the 53 Chevy. I have a 64 c10 and a 56 Mercury so it's right up my alley.

[@OGZERO]

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! IT GIVES NE EVEN MORE NC PRIDE THAN I WAS ALREADY BORN WITH.

[@dmuller9188]

What you have done was keep it looking like grill originally did. Slit it and bring it in and then chop it to make it shorter so it still has the point at the bottom and it will have that sweeping look that fits the looking. I am building a rat rod with a 35 grill

[@handiman5001]

SUWEEEEEEEEEET !!!!!!!! Looks like a Knight behind the grill.

[@whiteblacksicktricks]

Almost all car builds are welcome!

[@austinpatrick2682]

I think trim the bottom of the grill so that the edge is parrallel with the ground when it is tilted toward the motor the way you like it. I think that would make it look like the grill is actually made for the cart. Great job though I love the ratrod wagon!

[@Eastbaystunna]

I've been looking every five minutes at your channel to see if you up load a vid

[@bgd73]

clever art, A stainless triangle to make bottom grill level with the road... that would be nice

[@elesjuan]

1. I like the grille. Suggestion for it: cut the bottom so it's level with the ground while in the rearward installed position. That would look good I think. 2. Would love to see more of Ike's 53 chevy for sure! 3. Noticed the roof appears to be welded on the C10. Any more videos coming up on that? Keep up the good work guys! Love what you're doing!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@graffitifxnewcastle2954]

"hey guys !, flooky from Australia here, i have a challenge for u both........."i want u guys to track down a "green/teal coloured" "Rover Rancher 2", running or not running , preferably with a 1 piece briggs carb, and turn it into a homemade front end loader, and u must build a custom scoop using a wheel barrow tub......i just got a rover rancher totally covered in rust for free off the side of the rd and i was thinking of doing it myself, just wanted to see what u guys came up with first.....rover ranchers are an old ride on mower but it still has awesome styling and it will be interesting to see what u guys do with surrounding the belt set up.........."itl be fine"....every backyard needs a tractor.......right?. move leafs move dirt move isaac!!!!!......whooops!!! u guys rock.........cheers!!!....Flooky from Australia

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@jacobdurkin9293]

i think it looks absolutely dope guys. the only thing that looks out of place on the kart is the rims. if you can somehow make the rims look more old and rustic, they'd fit the kart so well. another cool thing to do all though it could be far fetched, is to put some type of flat roof on it just high enough so it goes above your heads, itd give it an even more rat rody look. thanks

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

thanks

[@roddy6924]

When I was a child I had a bike light that ran off a little generator that was spun by the wheel... no batteries and gets brighter as you go faster.

[@texanmarksman7879]

thats what it was missing. looks perfect now.

[@CoryZuber]

looks sick with the lights on

[@Aussie_Aaron]

grill and lights look great bro's keep it

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

I agree, you saved it from a crusher. but clearly how well you 'preserve' it will determine how much dignity it retains.

[@MrPhazeTwo]

IMO why the grill looks funny is because you chopped it up in a straight line. Try making a V cut and bringing the grill a little lower, it'd give it a little bit more of a point and make it look more badass. hope you read my comment, nice video!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

yea. ill have to do something about it
