[@gizmodietsch3922]

Aloha! I really enjoyed this one, BUT too short! I love seeing OMG moments.... Old Men Gathering! Some of your comments had me laughing out loud! Would enjoy seeing more on this build, as well as ALL of your builds. You've build some sweet working art!! From one OG to another, have a great day!! And in the past I may have heard your name wrong...sorry. I read better than I hear these days. LOL!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Glad you enjoyed it! OG's rule!😁

[@alanpaulick7815]

Awesome guy's keep the rust turning into lekka rat rods. The new Oom is a bit camera shy. Looking forward to the double builds. Take care boet.

[@peterkelly250]

What is better than an OG working on an old car? 2 OG's working on 2 old cars. Good Luck with the builds.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 2) You two are like one of a kind, you could definitely be brothers! Petrolheads for sure. The cab will look really cool when it's chopped. Hope he is able to find an independent but still technically good donor car. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you. Post Scriptum: It looks as if you either need a bigger shop or less cars. I guess that this is the problem a lot of men have.

[@billywhizz98]

It looks like you have got a good Apprentice there Diff

[@oldjunkman4864]

I have 1947 Ford cab sitting out back that is rusted just about as bad. I really like your channel, Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks for watching

[@djscrews]

[@dragontattooee]

Looking forward to the Diff and Dirk show, liking his ideas for the Morris

[@kumaran7529]

Great to see that you are sharing your time and skills with a friend, even though you are still busy with your project.

[@davidlester6092]

[@bradpage8967]

Cool uncle, Now you need space in the shop, I have an idea 💡 , and it involve selling something 😅, You guys are having fun, From an OG to another, Peace Brah, Ciao ciao

[@ratrodsafrica]

Always open for an offer. [e-mail]

[@leeflanagan3740]

Looking forward to seeing both these builds come along, 🤙

[@terrencebuller7676]

Hello Div, great to see friends working together. Look forward to seeing the progress on these builds. Be good Boet and have a Lekka day. 👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks! 👍

[@62_C10]

Hey Div, finally got back in my own garage... you continue to inspire me with your creative forest engineering!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Glad to hear it man!

[@DoonerF]

This is pretty cool. Two for the price of one. 😂😂😂 Looks like dirk is starting out good. Does he have a donor car in mind, or is he just going with whatever shows up? Sure am looking forward to more on your suspension. I’m really interested in how good it’s going to work. 👍🏻👍🏻!!!!!!!!

[@ratrodsafrica]

No plans for a donor car yet. I've got an old chassis from a 1952 Commer that I have donated to the project

[@eddiealford3579]

Yea I believe ur buddy gettin started on something cool I think 🤔

[@ratrodsafrica]

Let's see what happens!

[@littlepaddy7444]

The Morris is already starting to take shape. The chop and channel will look good and reduce the amount of glass to obtain and install. If the supplier inquires this time, tell them you're putting windows in a bird house. From another OG see you next week.

[@dougstaner1220]

🙂

[@TheOldaz1]

Certainly something different, personally I never liked a lot of the English lorry cabs because they're so small and not much leg room, but doing this to one means you can make it fit. Thanks Div.

[@stephenbrown571]

He needs a dually diesel for that cab.

[@vollkrassmann858]

I saw the bullet holes on the right door.... did you find any remains (skull, bones...) inside of the rusty cabin? ☠Just askin.... However: Enjoy the new From-Rust-to-Ratrod-project, I will follow the procedure as often as I can 👍 Best regards from Austria

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

👍👍

[@johnnymac1580]

Get back to the Hudson ⚡️

[@SuperSportstudio]

👍 ✌

[@jimmccorison]

When he fixes the doors he needs to keep all the bullet holes.

[@your.names.]

Hey! Any updates on the morris truck? Keen to see how you guys got on with this build.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Progress has been very slow but will do an update one of these days

[@1953dan]

I missed the build on the "dually" (That I wish was mine. It's Too Cool) that you guys were pushing in and out. At the 4:06 mark, there is a close up of the hat on the exhaust pipe. Is it just a hat or a trick little detail you made out of metal? Because if it's metal then that has got to be the coolest rain cap I ever saw. I have another question. You talked about a roof chop and channeling but have you ever sectioned a body and if so could you tell me in what video you did it in? It is one of those things you don't see people doing a lot of, it's mostly roof chopping and channeling. There is nothing wrong in that but I like the look when all three is done. It makes it a little cramped for tall people but for the look, I would endure a little discomfort. By the way, you can add another subscriber to your list. Every time you start a project, I've got to stay to the end to find out where the flow goes and what it ends up being. It's a build and evolution rolled into one. You build something then after a spell in the "thinking chair" it evolves into something even better. In other words, no one knows what it will look like until it's done . . . including you.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Welcome to the shop! The hat is real, but yes, cool idea to make it out of metal

[@iceman5068]

In America they said OG is old

[@ginfizz20]

Sure would have been easier loading on the trailer if Derk had cut all the stuff out that he didn't want. What was that "dually" thing you rolled around??

[@ratrodsafrica]

That thing is the Rogue Rat Rod!

[@tommcl8548]

👍👊

[@markrobertson9015]

That's great you taking care of your friends as they probably help you too. Looks like you have a large shop. My brother and I are planning on buying a house together in Arizona and I want to build a shop to get after working on the rustic gold. It's fun to try a budget build I just want to put something together or go back to wood crafting it's going to take some time but that's all I have right now is time. Looking forward to seeing another video with your truck take care man have a great day. Div.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Good luck with your plans

[@markrobertson9015]

@@ratrodsafrica thank you.

[@danbolton3180]

Just a suggestion, but don't you still have the Falcon that can be used as a donor vehicle? Or, were you going to use it for your wifes Bedford?

What happened have seen him for a a month

[@ratrodsafrica]

I'm recovering from a surgery

[@fyou4122]

OG. Maybe2 OBG. Two Ole Billy Goats. . It would be 3 if I was there. 😂. My Dad worked for British Steel in those days. He may have had a hand in the making of that Morris metal. Same area. Shaved plenty weight or of it. Might have to section middle. Low low rider. Do you ever remember the cartoon from 40 years ago. A long haired guy at the doctor wants five inches taking out his legs so he can fit in his Chop. 😂😂.

[@fyou4122]

Lekka Boets Lekka. Have a good week. Selling up in Sweden Diff. Should be South by start of your spring. Put the word out for me. See if any body got a room for rent. Nothing fancy. Just cheap. Cost of living seems cheap down there. From what I read. Have a good one You ole Billy Boks. 😂😂😂😂. Adios.
