[@1984xlx]

That's what I love about rat rods, there is no end to the creativity.

[@joechoquette4829]

I hear that, man ! Love that stuff. Makes me want to get working on one. Someday....

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@drunkdonkey1009]

Especially now that we have smaller engine that create more power

[@adriananimationsskits136]

@@joechoquette4829 endless creativity cause the canvas can be anything from an actual hot rod to a fucking ambulance truck ,,,they're all cool

[@acptelford1307]

You say that. But after a while they all start looking the same to me.

Love the horse shoe brake/clutch pedals in that last wagon!

"RAT FINK" WOULD BE SO PROUD 😎

[@gerhardthen8851]

Wasn't it "Bat Fink"?......."my wings are like a shield of steel.." Him and "Karate" had a souped up Volkswagen.

[@darrentylor5473]

[@shortchange26]

Rat Fink. Giving away our age!

Steves super low big wheeler gets my vote- I've see it up close and personal and his workmanship is way over the top.

[@georgec2126]

I love it! See what you've got lying around in the back of the barn, then build something radical out of it. I can't imagine this here in the UK. Or the expression on the face of any traffic officer who stopped you out on the road!💪😆

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

What awesome looking vehicles ! 👍

[@robertmeyer8735]

Epic video from the Hog Pit and Shady Jack's, My band split our set to do the burnouts in the middle, then resumed the music, that was awesome!!!

[@seributv]

Love the Ford Truck. Run smoothly, fluffy tires, and all moving parts at the back

[@Hopeless_and_Forlorn]

Hillbilly, your vids are always top notch. Thanks for sharing.

[@mplconsulting]

My favorite! Very good. I like it! Thx 🙏

[@EneOneOne]

The last one!!! Perfect!!!

[@StlNovas]

Loved seeing them and the locations on your video's (Shapiro Steel/Steelfest, Shady Jack's Downtown Saint Louis, possibly the Grafton River Road ). Thanks for sharing.

[@URBANHILLBILLYVIDEOS]

the grafton river road cruise was really cool.

Guys, HERE is The TRUE Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! I LOVE RAT RODS!!!!!! SO MUCH INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY!!!!

[@adamweston4152]

The third rod was my favourite and the last one.. the nomad was really nice too.

[@gerhardthen8851]

The Nomad was nice...but think of what it was worth before it got chopped up.... they're rare beasts.

[@russellmooneyham3334]

It's NOT a nomad.

[@garrywitcomb2334]

Some absolute genius Hotrod machines 😆😈👍 total respect to all the builders. Works of art

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Garry!

[@danabana8121]

This video is pure JOY & LOVE. 🤘😍😍😍

[@birdsfan3705]

Some of these could be in the next Mad Max movie with very little changes needed. Great machines!

[@awjelfs5034]

Well we know where the next range of Mad Max vehicles are coming from.

CRAZY MAN CRAZY !!! MARVELOUS CARS. PUNKS/DRAPES/WEIRDOS ! I LOVE IT. A BIG HUG FROM BRAZIL(South America).

[@wordup1944]

This is SO American, love it, from England

[@captainspaulding2693]

That Chevy at the end, is the ultimate ghost busting rig.

[@jackkerouac6186]

It is so Petersen's "Hot Rod Cartoons" George Trosley , Krass and Bernie .

[@skyedog24]

In my town back in the '70s there was a guy that had taken a four-door 57 and he chopped and channeled it and he made the most mini 57 Chevy that you could image.

[@jonnybeck6723]

These "Ride along side" vids are the best ...and that five-seven wagon at the end is truly the "Belle of the Ball" (IMHO) 2nd watch and I'll prolly watch it again (It's perfect to woodshed w/ my guitar)

[@ianboard544]

I wouldn't go over any speed bumps in those - but I love them.

[@bobbyglow9297]

They are all badass builds!!!💪💯❤️❤️

[@mzaccagnini7179]

These ratios are awesome.

[@haroldstrickland8416]

Very creative rides.

[@geofferysmith1206]

These are the true kings of Rat Rods

[@skyedog24]

We used to have a lot of different contraptions running the streets any where from 66 mustang 2+2 oo a early bronco frame sitting on huge tall swampers ,,all the way to a wild wheel standing 57 Chevy 4 Dr wagon that was chopped & channeled down to a mini 57 two Dr. These were daily drivers . Some of us had tail light cut out switch's & much more??

[@danielobriot3116]

U got to love that 57nomad wagon.🎩

[@MarcosBalieiro]

Eu viajo nesses carros, isso tem historia e muitos sonhos chega da arrepios !

[@REMBRANTTUBE]

ALL OF THEM WERE AWESOME!!

[@NLBassist]

The Nomad and that Ford truck are my faves

[@MadMaxCars]

Saw that Nomad Wagon that is in the Thumbnail and at the end of the video at the grand opening of the "Decade of Wheels" Museum in Baxter Springs KS! Have some good footage of it in our video of the event. Keep up the good work! Love your vids!

[@russellmooneyham3334]

@@MadMaxCars I appreciate your position. Please understand that I am from that era. Have owned two nomads, a 56, and a 55. It's just a "purist" attitude. Lol. No harm or insults intended.

This is so cool and makes me want to binge-watch Mad Max. 😍

[@tviikj555]

That Ford cab over is cool!

That old Hemi powered Terraplane rat was my favorite.

That second one looks so dope

[@williamowings6857]

Not sure why but I like cab forward vehicals. They take a bit to get used to steering but I like weird stuff. Right hand drive and standard transmission is fun too. My wife's car is a 6 speed manual Ford Focus. Last year it was available off the showroom floor. She loves it and happy I could afford to get her a new one that's fun and practical.

Look at the torque twisting the Rat Rod before the Nomad....the backdrop of what I guess is Detroit suits perfectly....post apocalyptic....salvaging the detritus of Detroit... very cool.

[@KensGarage1]

That was a great video.

[@outinthesticks1035]

I like the idea of something a little rough around the edges , back to the days of building on a budget . But very few of these really appeal to me , spending time and money to make it rough is defeating the idea

[@garygerard4290]

that's exactly right Sticks! The followers have taken over another segment of the automotive hobby. I do like the chevy wagon has a stick shift 'keep on buildin'

[@gerhardthen8851]

These beasts of hark back to the early days of Hot Rodding...even as early as before the Second World War...Ed Iskenderian modified a 1923 T- Bucket with a Ford Flathead V8 while he was apparently still in High School....and got over 130 miles per hour at Bonneville....the year was 1939. Those people were resourceful...and the drop tank stuff with Flat Head engines.

[@gerhardthen8851]

Beats the metal flake era, of over polished, and garish stuff from the '60s, and '70s.

[@darrentylor5473]

That's one hell of a Nomad!

[@garrygoode1265]

some great creations,,,, would love to be able to see/have some machines like these in australia ;)

Yeah not likely Rules.. and legal issues along with safety issues..

[@freebird1ification]

where is the radiator for the 57 chevy wagon ?

[@peterbarlow8912]

Only thing I saw with a legal plate was the ‘57. How are they rat rods with a crate Hemis loaded with anodized aluminum? If you can’t see over the intake risers and it won’t stop or turn what’s the point Smokey burnouts?

[@captainal59]

They were definitely some cool cars.

[@clutchkicker392ison5]

Tonka Tuff !! But its the chevy wagon for me plz.

The availability or time required to configure a suitable door-latch appears to elude the fabricator behind #8.

Sick minded people putting good money into junk just to ride around in..... that's what makes you Hotrod heroes, champions of backyard engineering,the sultans of parts swap and some of my best friends I haven't met yet. Every one of these rides just have character no average vehicle can muster. Inspiration for all home builders is what's needed and you guys produced in spades. Y'all are... Just Badass...
