What I love about this stuff isn't the music, the girls, anything like that. (Some of it go against my views or interests) It's the fact that somebody would save those old cars from rotting out in the desert or being overgrown by thorns. It's nice to see these things get a second chance, no matter how ridiculous they look. The cars are just like people, they're all different, according to what the owner likes, but we shouldn't really care if they're different... It's the love of cars, we should appreciate that others love cars too. I hope the spirit lives on!
Some men just refuse to lay down, want to make things work, overcome obstacles and have a little fun too! Hand-crafted vehicles like Rat Rods have the souls of their makers built right in. Cool stuff.
Yah, Yah, Yah, I liked the story, the trip, cool rides. I didn't heard the narrator. I was watching the cars. The start to finish in 45 mins. great job.
Amazing video. So much cooler than old rich geezer street rodding, or those snobs on the HAMB. Thanks Rat Rod magazine for staying true to the real rat rod spirit.
Good video, I build rat rod bicycles. My current daily rider I a 1949 Columbia cruiser converted to a lowrider.. all flat black with black rims and bent springer fork. Inverted rear view mirror and red fuzzy dice. With red dice valve caps and red neon lights under the frame. Also white wall tires
these vehicles are the ones that get most people to notice you; not a 2087 bmw, Mercedes or audi do to their common availability on the road!!!! what will one of those vehicles demonstrate? that individual feels fulfilled do to driving what anyone that has a lot of income drives! lol
+jew858 I agree to that, i am not a rat rod driver but can relate to any car guy who took the time and money to make something there own. Most people think...................well I need a pussy getting car to pump my ego/swag. people need to stop making shit hard, just find a ride that YOU like that YOU are willing to put time/money into and you will see how many folks will notice you
"Atmospheric" video effects got pretty old after a while; they detracted and distracted from my ability see the rods. Music needed to be toned down a bit, too. Well, actually, I would have preferred it "toned off", but I know many will disagree with me on that point.
It about having fun with your builds, what better way to take a VC. There all Winners! They did some thing out of there life and gave a piece of junk life and beauty again rather than destroy something
Just watched the 2013 vid of the tour and this video. Love the cars/trucks the 57 was awesome. But how easy is it to get vehicles like this road legal?
They are only road legal in some states. Thats why they are rare in some parts of the USA and really rare in Canada. Check your local laws to see what they allow. Out of the 8 build off cars, only 1 or 2 might be legal where I live, and the rest would have their plates pulled by the first cop who saw them....
Starting at 12:55, who is the band playing!? I must know, I think I'm in love. A metal singer who sounds like Kitty Welles, what more can anyone ask for.
these cars look like someone went to the sewer plant and dug a car out of one of the pits and called it crappy. that's what every one of these cars are
i build but i'm not covered in tattoos and don't have barbed wire bracelets or skull rings,is that o.k.? too fkn bad if it ain't lol.33:50 that's what the hell i'm talking about.YEAH!
2:42 support + pop rivets = non flappy flames Did all that nice work and forgot to make a support to mount the flames to so they didn't flap in the wind. I am not critiquing the work done I am just saying that with them so easily moved by the wind some asshole is gonna come along and bend one of them up. Just would hate to see good work ruined by some jealous asshole.
+Azte ka butchering of these amazing cars with the same old crate motor swap, same old let's take crappy rusty body panels and put it on these stupid pieces of garbage. take the time to build the cars the right way. I'm sure these guys bought cheap cars so why not put money into the cars to build them properly
