I don’t mind watching a Time Lapse, I’ve actually become fond of them to get the whole Picture

[@johnmetcalfe8957]

Hay Brother when I saw the hole in the fender from the filler hole I though you should Mach it on the other fender and possibly run your exhaust through them love the work and music from John ( I knows guy garage) Canada

[@ownedasteroid1918]

I love the reference to Rat Rod Bob. You and him equally inspired me to buy my 1928 Model A and build my own rat rod.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Awesome brother! Enjoy the build! And remember, the journey is at least as enjoyable as the destination.🙂

[@shotsrodder]

Beautiful daughter and cute little helper

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir. This time you Nail this Fender looks very sweet on the Truck. Be Safe and Peace Be With You and Boss Lady

[@GearheadStew]

Looking good! I really enjoyed the classical background music 👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

Glad you enjoyed it! Was wondering if it will go down 🙂

[@ubernewb3005]

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Lookin good man glad you got too spend time with your daughter that's what life is about

[@ausubo50]

Good move Shauna. You made that rust lover very happy.

[@ratrodsafrica]

😁

[@SchysCraftCo.]

It's coming along nicely so far Div. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

[@chimpfoos65]

And your pack of dogs that look exactly like kangaroos are truly amazing to look at thank you for letting us enjoy them that is something we don't have in the USA

[@edrushbrook]

The classical music adds a nice touch. The Klamptack und Grind Symphony.

[@ratrodsafrica]

😂 The CTG symphony... Love it!

[@randymcgee9176]

Great job your imagination has gone wild and it looks great. That’s what at Rat rod is supposed to look like.

[@rattedbug5003]

That is so cool Dif. Well done I’m loving it.❤ so neat to see you catching up with your kids.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks so much🙂

[@stashwaxroller1740]

No one but you could have made those butt ugly fenders look so awesome ! Your lovely daughter has what seems to me like a midwestern American accent ! Her English is more proper than my own! Another great video Div , keep em coming !

[@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195]

I think your fender solutions came out looking very well. 👍 Nice to see your long-lost daughter put to work, lol. Keep up the great videos.

[@nicolasstanley1392]

Amazing!!!

[@rvbjr]

wow, I love the way the rear looks. This was another great video, now take some time off to spend with your daughter! 😄

[@darellsunderlin4670]

It's a good thing to trust your own instincts. They usually prove to be the correct answer! You have a beautiful daughter, I have one also , her name is Shanna . I don't think I could go 2 years without seeing her or giving her a hug and saying, "I love you." Great job on the fenders , masterfully done .😊 oh, and yes, winter is on the way here in Montana USA. we've had snow already at 6000 ft,, and no, I'm not looking forward to it.

[@ratrodsafrica]

You also have a Shana! That's amazing 😄

[@tomredmond]

Nice to meet your Daughter. Truck is coming along nicely. Music choice was great.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Glad you enjoyed some Mozart. Wondered how that would go down🙂

[@tomredmond]

@@ratrodsafrica Grew up listening to classical music. Took up playing violin for awhile and played alot of classical.

[@ratrodsafrica]

@tomredmond my Mom also instilled the love for it. But I also like rock and blues 🙂

[@tomredmond]

@@ratrodsafrica I do love me some rock and some blues also.

[@johnperreault2280]

Hello again Diff from John in Canada . Once again I have to say how much I appreciate your enthusiasm and creativity toward problem solving and fabrication and final design. That was a great job on the rear fenders. What is especially encouraging however, is your willingness to share with the u tube viewers the love that you have for your daughter! Rat rods will come and go. They are just material things , but love is forever and in the end , that's what really matters!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you! Yes, true words

[@shotsrodder]

Love how you returned the fenders into the bed 👍😎

[@danielpancu9841]

Bob Built Rat Rod, is a person that I appreciate very much, a great builder and good person. Your rear fender is great, you played well and we all had fun!!

[@craigbowley6783]

The rat rod is coming along quite nicely 👍

[@MrRudolphsmit]

Just as I thought the back of the fender should look. Perfect. Nice job my oom

[@ratrodsafrica]

Dankie!

[@eddiealford3579]

Very nice job on the rear fenders I really enjoy the look of them but till next time Mr Duff 👍👍👍👍

[@andrewmantle7627]

Liking the fenders a lot. Good work.

[@mariodesurra1443]

You are a virtuoso with a piece of metal, an angle grinder and a welder. That’s why the music you chose is so appropriate! Also your eye for design is spot on😁

[@ratrodsafrica]

😁 Thanks!

[@keithmoore5224]

Nice music i do not like load takes my interest and consentration uk migrent reitierd thailand 76 years young life longbike builder customs

[@TheIIOM]

When the impossible become reality it embodies much thought and effort. Well done (on BOTH sides)!

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Part of the Lines, Possibly not uniform and Perfectly symmetrical or as Foose would Build, that’s what’s Beautiful about all of Gods Creations, No Two are Exactly the Same, It’s Perfect Duff. I’ll catch you on the next one, Keep it Safe Out There Sir. Very Nice to Meet Your Beautiful Daughter, it’s All About the Children!

[@bigtsperspective5831]

After watching this build so far … let me just say .. I would watch you build a shed . 😎🔧❤️

[@paulfarley9542]

I love it I'm glad you're using the original fenders looks great

[@davidweidner1675]

Spending time with your children should always come first

[@johnnymack8442]

Yes fall is here. And I love it. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I like winter but not as much as I use to. I am no longer 20.

[@robertamor3203]

well done your design is good and you made a good job of making them it is nice to your beautiful children keep up the good work and i will waiting for your next video

[@danielhughes9556]

That flat bar trick is the bees knees.gonna catalog that one in the ol brain file. I'm in California, not looking forward to winter. Which is odd cause I'm a cold weather fan. Anyway, awesome work, and thanks for the tricks.

[@StevenStratford]

A lot of work gone into those..looks great and will look sooòoooo much sweeter once the skirts are on..really enjoyed this one..not that I've ever not enjoyed you're videos...glad you got to see you're daughter and wish you all the best..thank you, Steve and helene

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks Steve and Helene🙂

[@NickManCuso59]

Hi Diff. Never mind us, spend as much time as you can with your daughter !

[@michaeldevlin517]

Hello Shauna. Your dad is a rock star in the rat rod world!!! Welcome from Pennsylvania USA

[@ratrodsafrica]

☺️

[@62_C10]

The rear view sells the lower fender lines! Looks timeless... gradual... meant to be.

[@DIYWHEELGUY1970]

I'm really liking the look of this truck. If I could send those Torque Thrusts, I would.

[@PaulAnderson-xv2xd]

It's turning into quite the FrankenRod, I love it.

[@raleighstedman7829]

Regardless what all of us watching thought you should do , you did it your way. It looks fine😊 keep going on with your way, Happy,happy

[@azchillers]

Love the fender skirt idea

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks brother! Appreciate the support

[@jacquesvanrooyen706]

Hi Div, this is a beaut . I think those fenders are just right . Excellent work ! 😊

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks boet!

[@kobusjoubert401]

And the BIG rain is back

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yes, lots still coming!

[@leeburke4060]

i really like both rear fenders. i like watching you figure out problems.

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for another , Brother !!

[@thornwarbler]

Lovely job👌

[@zwollywood1978]

Dutch viewer here✌

[@ratrodsafrica]

Goedendag!🙂

[@crazywickedcustoms7272]

That Hudson truck is sweet

[@letsbefrank6269]

Hi Div, lovely to see you and daughter together, 2 yrs hey? Try 13 yrs, yes my daughter was in Britain, but now she is back in Australia, thank goodness. Your rat rod is looking amazing, well done. 44:17 😊

[@ratrodsafrica]

13 years!? Holy cow!

[@tsirron]

Your a lucky man. She has a wonderful attitude to manual work. I must say we can see where she got the looks in the family. Lol

[@mikemitchell7575]

It was nice that you had your daughter on....I have a daughter named shawna too....❤

[@ratrodsafrica]

Snap!😁 Cool man

[@joecioe8566]

The rear fender is looking great. I like the pieces added onto the bottom edge. Looking forward to seeing it with the running boards tying it all together. Spending time with your daughter is priceless.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yeah, running boards will make a big visual difference

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

It's always great when the kids come home to visit! Fender looks awesome Diff!

[@TyroneNorman-j2i]

Hello Boet ! I really enjoy seeing the outcomes you get from being persistent. I love the look and especially the way you think outside the box as they say, Lekker Bly maneer

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks boet. Mooi dag daai kant

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Like your channel div. Thanks for posting

[@TheOldaz1]

Fenders came out nice, especially around the back end. That radius worked in nicely. Exhaust tubing for the edge of the running boards, then just fill it in. I watched Bad Chad build some on his youtube channel, certainly made it look easy and the round edge will fit in with the rest of the curves. Funny how some/most old guys who aren't blessed with the best of looks manage to produce such beautiful daughters. 😎

[@ratrodsafrica]

Definitely didn't get her looks from me😂 But she got my brains 😎

[@dragontattooee]

Hi Shauna, loving the mudguard masterpiece you made, Div, have a kehha one

[@js-vm8zc]

Hello from Texas, really enjoying the build, as well as the classical music 2 thumbs up for that,..keep up the good work.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Someone else who liked the music!👍Was wondering if it would go down...🙂

[@prroperlyprrofessional5524]

Great to see how it all came together. Lekker man.

[@stephenwhite5057]

Great progress .it's looking great. Also the music is refreshing , great choice.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Glad you enjoyed a bit of Mozart! Was wondering how it would go down🙂

[@stephenwhite5057]

I can see you cruising in the truck when it's done listening to some "Classical" much better than "Flat Eric" well maybe?@@ratrodsafrica

[@sergey.l]

So much work and love went into this video! Be sure, we appreciate all of it! Love goes to your family!
