The world needs more of these.

[@XAPAN88]

C’mon this is one of the coolest builds😆 I just died when you said: close the door - I want you to stay inside😂

[@AutotopiaLA]

😂😂 hilarious time shooting with Angel

[@thejoshbtv]

Ok. This dude looks like the perfect match for that car. Exactly what one would expect.

[@AutotopiaLA]

No doubt. Fits it perfectly

[@drewflanagan4296]

Impossible not to appreciate the creativity and ingenuity.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same thoughts here

[@jayhess132]

This is how car/truck mod videos should be done. Feels like you are standing around the garage talking shop with friends. Love that the owner and interviewer are excited.

[@tomfortson5147]

Saw this in Santa Cruz in April of 2015 - couldn't resist taking a photo in the Trader Joe's parking lot! Had orange rear wheels at that time..

[@ayowtfJerik]

The custom offset wheels in the back is so unique. Another amazing video guys

[@AutotopiaLA]

These ratrods are always so creative and cool

[@erniearambula3525]

This style is reminiscent of the Rat Fink Hot Rods of the 50's

[@jsm42050]

That door is fucking great, really makes the truck whole lol

[@AutotopiaLA]

So good!

[@rickeymitchell8620]

Loved this. Totally awesome rat rod. I wouldn't change a thing on it. The smile factor is high and so is the fun factor! That Caddy mill has a distinct open header rat rod sound. Vids like this make me feel young again. At 71 yrs old those times are few and far between. Thank you for sharing this

[@angelh.6367]

Putting smiles on people's faces and triggering good memories is what I love most about my truck.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Glad it made you smile. It did the same for me riding along in it

[@michaelpendarvis7814]

He’s cool for sure

[@ariescustom]

That dude was a character.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Total character

[@999Rabs]

Man, if that dude was any cooler he’d be ice cream! Completely cracked up when I saw the fuel tank said “Rat Piss!”. As for the door that kept opening…😂😂😂

[@AutotopiaLA]

That door!! Such a fun shoot for us

[@GarretSterling]

Shawn, you Sir are BADASS! Love where your channel has gone over the past 4-5 years. Cheers, Bud!

[@FixinFords]

"Oh yeah, yeah yeah I want you to close the door so you can stay inside here with me" 😆😂😅

[@63Imp283]

Do more rAt RoDs! This was cool 😎

[@ElBadu]

That door opening out of nowhere is funny lol

[@AutotopiaLA]

And it did it like 3 or 4 times 😂

[@minnesotatomcat]

God I love that truck, that is totally my style! The name on the door 🤣

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love the door name!

[@izom]

like the rear wheels 🤩

[@AutotopiaLA]

Massive and totally fitting of this thing

[@dredouglas2135]

It's all fun and games til the Driver side door keeps opening lol lol

[@AutotopiaLA]

And he didn’t even flinch when it popped open

[@josealvarez9371]

Well that's different Different is good 👍 It looks like a blast to be in I could only imagine what it feels to drive. N the name Is hallarious. The is very cool in my eye's.

[@richardwarfield7386]

Dewey, Cheatem and Howe have filed a noise complaint and lawsuit. Awesome ride

[@AutotopiaLA]

That’s funny!

[@nealsidor1323]

Do more Rats!!! They are the epitomy of 'old school kool'. "A" rat rod? Dude, there are so many different flavors, but they all have that home-built roughness & patina that makes every one unique... Thanks for another great set of wheels👍

[@StickShiftStudios]

This trucked looked awesome in person at the hot wheels show. Love the shop name.

[@AutotopiaLA]

That shop name is hilarious!

[@lsvip1820]

Great Build, you don’t see Cadillac’s in a build like that. It’s really old school like 50’s going into 60’s. I’m 6’3” 295 and I know I don’t fit into that!!! Lol!!! I need a Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance!!! LMAO!!!

[@PhillyDee215]

That's like a tractor shifter😵

[@a.k.a.A.E.]

a little old shool version from randy grubb's pissed off !!

[@inkednz01]

heya Shawn. Your content is just amazing and so great to watch we reccomend your channel to who ever listens!, my husband and I have had a a huge passion for cars mainly pre 70's, but living in New Zealand we dont have the amazing american muscle car at our door!! My fav has to be and always will be the Bullit mustang, my husbands being the old HQ Holden or trusty Torana but we can definatly appreciate the hard work, effort and money gone in to the ones you feature. However my egal eye spotted something to the side in this segment that i would like you to confirm for me please...to the the side of the featured rat-rod there is a black Mercedes and a dark silver car, i would like to know if the silver car is a Lotus 30 please? :) Thankyou for your great show!!

It’s not a quiet one 😂

[@dski8097]

How this survives in Commifornia is a world wide wonder.

[@willivonfromhold4524]

Question... Did you leave the drum brakes on the rear so u can do more line lock brake stands???...

[@angelh.6367]

Running Disc brakes on a non boosted set up will not utilize the stopping power of the Disc brake calipers, so drums will be a little more efficient when non boosted and you get to feel and be one with the system... Disc brakes would be awesome though.

[@GerardoAV01]

Reckless style 🔥

[@AutotopiaLA]

Pure creativity

[@deanhughes2718]

The rear wheel pattern aren't the same,so one goes one way and the opposite goes the other. But other then that,beautiful ride.

305 gears would take advantage of the torque or am I wrong

So loud so weird and cops say "cool" at the owner,then i realize: that's America...

Not with those massive back tires…next video though watch out

Drag bars but just for looks. This thing won’t do wheelies

@@AutotopiaLA Oh，Thanks, you can understand chinese👍

When you set out to build a "rat rod", it's not a rat rod.

[@minnesotatomcat]

Nothing sounds like zumiez. I can’t believe cops ignore that

[@AutotopiaLA]

They give it thumbs up he said which is awesome!

[@stephentroyer3831]

This is the car version of getting away with breaking the rules by being pretty. It's such a statement, so we'll designed that no cop wants to be the guy who gave him a ticket.

[@chinchen5979]

not a big fan of rat rods...not sure i have ever seen a hot wheels car that looks like that either, it is "cool" looking and I am sure it took a lot of effort to get it where the owners likes it....cudos to the builder

[@LPtheDESTROYER]

Thing is TOUGH

[@hotrod2321]

Really cool ride. Done a great job on it.

[@ZPositive]

Man, that camera work and editing is way too much movement, and cut like a Liam Neeson fight scene. All I want is some slow stuff so I can see the cool little details, but it's just move cut move cut move cut move cut. Less is more, dudes.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks for the input. Always trying to make better videos

[@sonjapiot1819]

Lol nice illuminati pyramid

[@imadrifter]

Fukem & Gowjum

[@jasonrackawack9369]

What a shame to do that to a neat old truck...no idea why it has early ford wire wheels up front and pro touring wheels in the back but whatever it aint my truck.
