First start of our 1951 F1 Rat Rod!

[@frozencactus399]

The starter bolts have a crosshatched area after the threads that act like a dowel pin to keep the starter aligned and also help to stop the bolts from backing out.

[@jg24diecast41]

A great name for this would be the "Swamp Donkey"! Goes great with your logo and would be a cool t-shirt that I already want to own!!!

[@joesprague1464]

It looks like Stubby Bob’s cousin.

[@kentmckean6795]

Tip for your plasma table: When cutting speed holes in parts, put a 1/4" or 3/8" hole in the middle. Collect the "speed hole" and use them for odd sized washers as the need arises.

[@crchuckh6852]

on budget, Esther you can get that new coat. two thumbs up

[@mikebondarczuk5892]

Watched from the start and the sound of thunder is sooooo good, well done

[@briquetaverne]

I agree with you Brent that the front of vehicles look cool if you can see the motor when it's not being blocked by a radiator... S-o-o-o-o-o, why not braze a 90° elbow to the radiator cap area and lay the radiator flat. You get rid of the mechanical fan and attach an electrical one on top, then if you want extra airflow, build a wide but shallow air scoop under the radiator. Between the electric fan and forward movement you should have a lot of air flow

[@randyalsleben9973]

Makes me smile every time I see it way to go!

[@Poo-Peater]

Really enjoying this build, thanks for another great video.

[@bobbyjones2363]

Instead of raping your truck around a pole. You raped your pole around your truck (Bad Dad joke )But it looks good.

[@gilbertahsam643]

Awesome i had negative thoughts but not now. You are a rock star with no money spent.

[@williamoneal2763]

You and Ester make a great couple ! 😊

[@channelofchannels7845]

I kinda like it just having the rad up front.

[@jessehermosillo8116]

Like the ear shaker sound my feet were vibrating just in those couple of seconds, awesome rat rod Brent,love the videos on this build.

[@franksgarage8551]

Just full of smiles and chuckles! Having a good time building a rat rod, thats what its all about, having fun. Next video will be Now i feel the need to get on the chopped Fargo project…

[@franksgarage8551]

What i see is a push bumper and a cherry picker on the back..

[@henryallisonsr8318]

Just want to say hi to you all and Ian you are coming along with the truck and I can't wait to see it driving down the road. V God bless and have a blessed evening and night

[@murrayandru7527]

108 A Brent Video, I made time for this ... Thanks for sharing Brent !!

[@rickyball6707]

Nice work well done 🐑👍👍👍👍👍

[@hooligan_56labelle22]

Can't wait to see you get spank around in this thing. Just might be more fun than anyone can imagine. Who needs rides at the carnival when you can build better ones

[@fonhollohan2908]

Ester's just as excited as you are Brent. That's awesome, looking forward for the next video to see this thing! do a couple burnouts. See ya on the next one Brent...

[@davidhatch2558]

Even on camera that's loud. Awesome progress Mr. Brent. Thanks Brent for the video

[@lorenmeyer5290]

AWESOME Brent it's alive!

[@rickydonahue1586]

It sounds GOOD!!!😁

[@billtopka2584]

Looks and runs great. Can’t wait to see it on the trails! 👍😎

[@danielplanck6705]

If you're gonna go blasting thru briars ,brambles, or woods , it may be best to put the rad in the back where it will be protected from damage .

[@scotttracey3748]

Cool project and it runs great job.

[@pomnichowski]

Like th sights.. Luv th sounds..🖐🏽

[@terrencebuller7676]

Greetings, good to see you both today. The 51 is awesome, looking forward to play time, Yee-haa. haha 😄 🤣 Have a wonderful evening. Take care 👍

[@Atomikoira]

That thing is straight from the Mad Max universe. Coooool 😎

[@countswing284]

Best light pole framed hot rod on the internet! Sounds great! Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁🎨

[@Six4691]

Looks great! It’s going to be tuff to get ammo for the 20mm cannons on the front. 😮

[@020Dutchy]

Pablo keeping safe distance “I’m not getting in THAT thing” 😂 😂

[@shawnlowell4522]

At the front end of the frame rails / light poles , the holes would fit some lil head lights in there ...seems like the proper thing to do :)

[@robinbryde3038]

Love the sound of those pipes...glad you grabbed the fuel bottle away from the headers...that spooked me 🫣👍

[@SPUDHOME]

Crisp. Sounds great.👍

[@1957kwick]

Definitely need to make some kind of a bed for it.🛠🇺🇸🛠

[@vikingfather1]

Amazing how Brent always know what he has squirreled away and where it is located.😮

[@jimbojones101]

This is gonna be some awesome junk yard art, Brent! Love it.

[@Bobbyelijah]

Sounds awesome!!!!

[@donhoughton271]

Sounds great😂😂

[@Jools-j2l]

I would definitely leave it so a bonnet ( hood) could be fitted as as its going to sit outside for long periods at a time.

[@badmoon5249]

Dang, that fan looks scary close to the rad!

[@daviddamico4288]

You did a great job on that brent ,it sounds awesome I love the look… I can’t wait to see it driving around..

[@AlanPitt-y3n]

Awesome as usual well done 🛠🛠👍🏼

[@freemanjackmsiradio]

Can't remember which build it was but remember a body sanding time lapse and every time you moved to the next panel, Pedro shifted a few feet to sit dutifully behind you. Admittedly probably wanting to go indoors (it was winter in the old shop) or hoping it was dinner time but loyal (if only to a warm bed or dinner bowl) to the core.

[@marcbremont2213]

Hello from northern Alberta, radiator in front with a hood would be cool, just saying. The last word is up to you. I enjoy your videos, I like to fabricate things out of steel and also wood myself. That new shop sure turned out great. Keep them coming.

[@henryverrydt4943]

Scrappy needs a hood. Looks great!

[@keonikaig9247]

Yeeha....sound'n great... Lookin goood....keep it up Brent...thx for being there also Esther........👍🤠

[@RandyH-qf3dc]

I'm in Ohio, I think I heard that start up. LOL. What an awesome build!!! Love hearing the King and Queen of Kustoms laughing and smiling. You two are awesome.

[@daleking8529]

That is one cool looking truck!

[@rickynelson3222]

Sounds good

[@swallowinn4410]

Hello Brent Ester & Pablo. Poor Pablo waiting so patiently for his ride only to be set a scampering when the Beast was started & rompt on a little. I expect he will still want his ride.

[@darrellrogers3511]

You HAVE to put "headlights" in those front tubes!

[@TheCrackerBox]

It’s looking good Brother , I would lay a 55 gallon drum across the back and make that my gas tank. lol , as always thanks for another , Brother !

[@brianschmidt2747]

No rear shocks. Brent, your back will hate you. Every rock every bump.

[@Rock-Forehead]

Coming along well. I would suggest some Oh Sh!t bars for the passenger.

[@josephacerra5987]

Kool Digging This ride 😎😎💯

[@larrylilly2552]

Custom cut a rad shield on your fast cut with your logo on it for a visual to hide the rad a bit.

[@willredekop6304]

Hey Brent, you have to make something like this for the road.... that looks awesome man..

[@1208bug]

Hey Brent, this reminds me of a kid building a Go-Kart!😊❤👍💯

[@demnis]

Yo Hi again from the D Mi 😎 USA 😁 thanks for sharing another great video update on your Rat Rod Truck 👍 it's running that's awesome, next video it should be a driver 💖🔥😀😎

[@stormcloud3027]

Mad max ,,💯,, 👍

[@blueeyz2046]

Carona and I stopped by to see Pablo and Ester!

[@paulfarley9542]

Love it

[@alexanderalejo5708]

I love every video.

[@MrMadkaw400]

Brent don’t paint the drive shaft tunnel like a barber pole but do the drive shaft so you can see it threw the tunnel

[@steveherr450]

Alcohol. because no good story has ever started with a salad. 👍👍

[@vincentcasino2356]

Very cool car

[@glennnickerson8438]

Get a set of snow chains Brent and you'll have one great winter!😆

[@alexlobodin1050]

Soo good !! 😂

[@richardhill4862]

Very nice recycle of spare parts in a rowdy field runner. I think it needs the hood now that the radiator is there.

[@JimBosGarage49]

You should use a 49-50 f1 grill. Just the ribs. They look good with just the hood. Still an awesome truck ❤

[@bigbill709]

Later Dudes

[@Telephony954]

We have a first here guys. A zero budget build. That runs. Be well. Hi Ester.

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes that a hot rod Peace out

[@THEFALCON58]

Hi Ester and Brent, Pablo is waiting for he's ride in your rat rod art. ? a bed for the rear to carry parts. ?

[@macbusa32]

How about some type of small bed so you can haul things around the yard?

[@grahamparr3933]

Latest technical term, rubbage.

[@mikedavis3841]

Big truck bobber rat rod 👍

[@ChesterLong-bj9dl]

Brent needs to add a solar panel to his building just to keep all his batteries charged up all the time.

[@GaryBertrand-r9d]

It is alive good job. I thought you mentioned a six cylinder at the start of this project.

[@HalfassKustoms]

I thought but I decided to keep that one for Ryder's truck

[@shawnlowell4522]

I'm not a physic but Im will to bet Rider will want at least 8 cylinder ...just guessing ;)

[@chicagovasko]

We need a beer keg for a fuel tank.

[@brentonpaterson7047]

Did I see a supercharger in the shed?? That would look cool!

[@dondavis6997]

Everything's temporary until it's not

[@dirtyroofer3678]

Starter bolts are thicker still 3/8 16 threads and are knurled

[@BenSymington]

[@1Also]

F-1…Looks more like F-OFF

[@DavidTorres-tm6ff]

Starter bolts are a little bit special.They have a little bit of thickness that helps keep the starter from twisting and getting out of alignment

[@mrbill8542]

That there is a genuine "stock" car !!!!

[@morgansword]

Its why we do it.... make em run and move.

[@dwbeatty6252]

needs some kind of a light on the roof like a service vehicle!

[@noisefuljoy]

I was thinking (oh no!)- It might be good if you put some baffles in the zoomies. If it's your side by side, scaring everything within a quarter mile away would not improve the scenery.

[@deniseprettner2020]

Mad Max would be proud.

[@retiredbutnotdead9929]

Hello from Worcester Massachusetts…. The 51 Ford is alive and sounds great. Are there any plans for a short bed for the back to help balance the nose length a bit?

[@willwade1101]

Use a cheap set of jumper cables to make a battery cable to the starter.

[@PatrickBrannonSr.]

I like the hood , But not really sure of the grill. The one thing I'm sure of is it will be pretty damn cool when you get done.

[@tpledger100]

beer keg fuel tank?

[@akawireguy1197]

Store it with the hood on but it looks best without the hood.

[@JohnEldred-q2r]

My ex son in-law bought a cameo from a local welder and when the starter went bad he found out that he had welded it in due to broken bolt or bolts can't remember which at this time now but kind of funny at this point but not back then. 😊😊😊 Thought you might get a laugh out of that one.. maybe bolts due matter😊😊😊😊😊.

[@graydonjones6912]

Put the radiator in the back

[@TairnKA]

You don't steal, it's the "Strategic Transfer of Equipment to Alternate Locations" Ref - "Fat Electrician" (Military acronym) ;-) At 35:50; you're getting every bit of parts from that metal plate. ;-D

[@joelholmes5830]

How about doing a van you are the man you can pull that off god bless 🙏
