Old Iron Hood Hinge Fab From Scrap Metal

[@timothyandrews2157]

I've never seen anyone who could do such intricate work with an angle grinder.

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Just think the type of work he could do with a CNC machine????😂🎉

[@cameronreeves8965]

Thank you Bob! Always look forward to your videos!

[@xKmotx]

Bob, you are a magic man with a cutoff wheel on an angle grinder. Hinges look beautiful. If you are going to use those slotted countersunk screws, you know you gotta line up the slots. 😊

[@tdwz1652]

bob I love these fine detailed hinges and latches you always add to your builds. icing on the cake

[@jasonhoffman9895]

You say you build Rat Rods, I disagree, you sir create art. The average builder would have searched around a little on the internet and found something they liked and could make work, not you nope. You deserve so many more subscribers than you have because your channel is one of the best built not bought channels on KZbin. Love the content Bob thanks for sharing your amazing skills with all of us

[@shanethompson7543]

[@mikemcguire8351]

Sorry, but I'm one of them. I have to have all resepticle and switch cover screws oriented the same.

[@JohnRolin]

Wow Bob, those hinges are a work of art!! Great job, you sure do show us what can be done with just regular tools. 🙂

[@dougwiest9318]

LOOKING GOOD BOB!

[@Hopalong..75]

I like your sit down bench with a vice Bawb, I'm diggin it.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

At my age ... it's the way to go!

[@hankpugh4980]

Well done Bob. I always enjoy watching you design and fabricate, a favorite channel.

[@martinharris5017]

I'm stealing this idea for the hood hinges on my long-term project C Cab. Thanks Bob, you're a real inspiration :)

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Should call them Bob'd hood hinges. Came out great!

[@zzzonezz]

AAhhite..!! Awesome vid man. Thanks

[@RobertFredman-ld6kc]

I’m just continuing to learn from you bob thank you

[@briankinnear7461]

The hinges look great. Easy in principle but takes a lot of delicate work to make them function. Look forward to seeing if the hood mods work. Be safe and stay well.

[@codyc6975]

bob, thanks fr answering my comment ...... I do have a couple of fiberglassing tips for you. They make things really easy. For any panels you have to make especially below the hood or anywhere. Get yourself a piece of glass works the best but, if you habe a sheet of plywood ,or any sheet good and put clear or any packing tape , wax paper, baking paper and tape it to the flat srface even on sheet of foamboard. Lay your fiberglas and put two coats of glass matt or even fiberglass cloth and when it's cured in an hour or so you can peel it right ff giving you a very nice side and the other side if you wat the same nice finish you can put wax paper or the parchment paper on top and use a roller over it and you can get a fairy nice finish on both sides If you want to make body line just hot glue half of a cut pvc pipe to the part youre starting from If you don't have aroller for the bubbles just use a bold and washers of two sizes and weld a handle to the bolt head alternate the two sizes of ewashers wo you have bigger , smaller bigger , smaller till is about maybe 2-3" long and put a nut on the end to keep them on the bolt. Now you have a roller to get bubbles out. If you're really crafty ( which I believe you are ) you can heat up pvc pipe or cut out pieces of wood and glue them down in the shape of louvers and glass over them. Then all you need to do is cut out the part where needed to vent the air. Like anything your prep is 99percent of the success. If you look on Facebook marketplace or craigslist it's easy to find shower doors which I use to make panels. I hope this helps make it easier on you but take what you want or not it's your choice ! Just have a great day and take it off with pay ! Great video by the way ! Remember even if it's just a rat rod it can still be nice but, if its not fun it never gets done.. Parchment papter and waxpar along with aluminium foil make great base covers on carboard or even on old election signs. Things won't or shouldn't stick to them and leave a nice finish to work on. Superglue and baking soda to cure it you can cut precise parts and temporary glue them together and then put another couple of coats for thickness ! Have a great one ..... I'm going to try those hinges !

[@johnkranz4004]

Real nice work Bob coming along nicely

[@OwenFromOhio]

Great job Bob!

[@TheRooster1122]

Rat Rod Bob you have the Skills… This Rat Rod is going to be smoking..👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@JamesElkins-kl8qo]

Good Ol Rat Rod Bob killing it as usual ! Love this channel ! That fiberglass is some bad itchy stuff !! Maybe you can get ol Red to help ya w it. Lol

[@RJDCR]

[@jameswalker8499]

Not just works great but they look great!

[@glennramsey917]

Very good educational video … make something sooo simple out of what most ppl would over think !!!!

[@morgansword]

Funny what goes through a guys head as someone watches you build those hinges. I got all sorts of ideas for a way to make these hinges. Really clever ideas on how to make one and have a grease fitting on them plus make them a hidden pin... your the man Bob

[@ivoman7]

hinges & hoodfixes. I think the bodyline on both door and hood line up better than the line inbetween.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Yep .... gonna require a little work in that area be fore it's said and done.

[@GinoTassoni-fg1wg]

Bob thanks for the nice camera work on this video. Love the show & your work👍✌️

[@TimothyRexrode]

U r the master of it all love the hell out of this builds god gave u the gift to build it all😊

[@YenaS-l7g]

Looking good 👍 Bob ❤😊😊

[@1otviii]

Good job Bob. I may hinge my hood now. I have to take it off to do anything.

[@johnlopez3607]

It looks perfect to me 😊

[@stuartedwards3067]

Hey Bob it looks AWLSOME!. It looks like you lost a little weight. Hope you’re feeling good.

[@JohnW1711stock]

We are going to call you Sparky from now on. LOL!!

[@johnwebb9242]

Bob you’re the Pablo Picasso of Rat Rods.

[@jamesnoris5865]

hi Bob. i was just telling my friend how important it is to keep hinges in line. i told him to use a solid rod. No one teaches something like this !!

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Right on

[@chevelleranch7481]

Pretty outstanding Bob!

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Thanks Larry .. it's different for sure.

[@williambeckett8196]

No ready made bolt on parts here!!😊❤

[@lloydbrundell7732]

Pretty nice for a rat rod Bob! Might need a shiny paint job 😜

[@FOG-321]

Ah yes,a refresher course : )

[@lubblegarage]

I like the long rod on the hood hinge

[@randyhorton8369]

Outstanding

[@wyattoneable]

Beyond your obvious skills with tools, you also have a good eye for style.

[@Reddog08]

Bob for president

[@UncleRobsGarage]

Wow 77000 subscribers last I looked you had 68000.

[@troyhatch4116]

Hey Bob what do you think about leaving that one long hinge pin in... jest for the look👍

[@Jeff-h4b]

Awesome job bob can’t wait to see that thing burn rubber👍

[@robertchall8576]

That is one custom rat rod.

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@johnwebb9242]

[@neilhudson7011]

Man again i love watching you work on stuff you amaze me ever time There is a song by the Low Down Drifters Wont find me anymore You/ bob pop in my mind when he sings. Im fine all by myself but you should hear me electricfied. Lol you got skill

[@garyhughes9199]

Hinges would look good, on a farm tractor. The car is nice!

[@sshaw16684]

Really lovin the build Bob!! Just wondering where ole’ Don has been? He was always some great help to you

[@doug1030]

Hey Bob, what did you do back before you became a famous KZbin star. Like your work a lot.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Good deal Hosscat 👍👍🤘✌️

[@TheZorgen]

She's progressing well Bob. One thing I've learnt is ill never buy a fiberglass hot rod :-)

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Thanks for that comment. Send all those glass rods my way! 😎💯

[@yobop6072]

Hinges look nice....

[@jrehtil1494]

Hinger BOB.

[@larryanderson8049]

Good video Bob... think !'m going to copy those hinges. Hoping for no patent infringement suit! I see you needed to hinge on the most rearward point on the hood, thinking that is where you determined the 28 in spread?

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Right on

[@marvsmith8137]

Sweet bob👍👍

[@duckhunter8387]

You knew that that Cut-Off Saw was going to throw that Dowel into the next County, didn't cha?

[@pauljochims2215]

We getting it ... just ain't got it yet!

[@williamchildress1459]

Bob you got to figure out how to make some fiberglass stitches. It is not going to be a Rat Rod Bob Rat Rod without them. That is your signature mark on Rat Rods.

[@geoffreymills9932]

That's turning out to be the sweetest ratrod ever, awesome work as always Bob, I'm diggin it 😎

[@katmandu8208]

👍🏻🍻

[@JacobBurch-e7u]

I'm learned a lot by watching what you do think you

[@JohnFunches-qu1zg]

BOB! IT SEEMS LIKE! YOU ARE MAKING CUSTOM HAND CRAFTED HENGE'S! ONE OF A KIND! ON YOUR WORDS- THAT'S A LOT OF WORK!- IM BEING TO SEE, THAT! BUILDING A RAT ROD?- IS A VERY PERSONALIZE BUILD- YOUR RAT ROD - SAYS - BUILD BY RAT ROD BOB!😅😮

[@donbocci1227]

Yep Yep, always good to watch Bob do his thang.

[@billterry9996]

good video

[@billthomas9036]

👍👍👍

[@JohnFunches-qu1zg]

THE HINGES CAME OUT GREAT 😃👍 - $30-TO-$40 DOLLAR HINGE'S FOR THE PRICE OF SCRAP METAL! 😮👍

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

I would gladly pay $40 for hinges like this if I could find them. Would save me several hours work. So if you happen to see some like these for sale ... be sure and hit me up!

[@benchman1351]

Just me but I'd correct the steel before the glass, I hate glass tho. Steel correction would be pretty quick.

[@toddclark332]

Bob it your rod you can do what you want to and that's the bottom line 💪🏼🏁😁have your self a badass evening bud ok later

[@herbiederby3394]

💯🙂👍🙏.......redd would say fantastic booooob... 😆

[@yobop6072]

...put some 3/16 plt under hood pre bend it to bring hood down....glass it in and blot hinges to it.... do the same under the cowl....pax

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Good idea!

[@deweybell3529]

Sweet

[@toddenglert4815]

Never mind I didn't no hood had fiberglass..sorry my first time watching your video but I did subscribe

[@chrispedigo8643]

Hey bob your my hero always wanted to do what you are doing wanted to ask you about your Metael work tables the ones you set in your fab chair and work on stuff how tall wide and long are they I want to build some for my shop if you could help me out I would appreciate it you remind me of my dad me and him used to work on cars when I was a kid he worked on all the old 30s 70s cars.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Pretty sure they're both 2'x4' and high enough to work out of my chair. Your chair may be different. Then I have that big un 4x10 metal standing work table. I got lucky back in the day at work and saved em from scrap. Have another back up out back with no legs.

[@chrispedigo8643]

@@RatRodBobBuilds thanks bob be watching so I can learn some more cool stuff your the best!!!

[@toddenglert4815]

I would have thought if you pulled both sides of hood out it would pull the center of hood down..

[@stevecr8934]

Yall see those metal nuggets try to escape out in the yard. When Bob was using that chop saw? No escaping Bob when it comes to Rat Rod material. They shoulda known that.. tsk tsk

[@kermitbearden7142]

Bawb, you know at final assembly those slots on the hinge screws will have to line up in a straight line. Ask any real electrician.

[@rickynelson3222]

If you need some cool hinges check out Carolina customs they manufacturer beautiful hidden suicide door hinges and other hinges are available

Very nice work but vedio is like watching paint dry.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Ha haa ... I did cut a few hours of it out. But just in case some feller wants to see all of the process to make their own.
