The F-Rod Is Born! '31 Model A Drag Racer | Roadkill Garage | Motor Trend 

😂 " AND NOW FOR TODAY'S USELESS PIECE OF INFORMATION!" Just kidding, it's a fun fact.

If the car is more than 13.5 feet long, it wouldn't make it. If you ever try it, be in a short car...lol

Paint?

Exactly, I'm 29 and saving every penny for a model A or a 32 three window!

@@barneymiller7894 Good luck and I hope you get one. Timeless classic.

@@ForeverDownByLaw Thanks 👍

Street rod? That looks all hot rod to me.

I’m 35 and couldn’t agree more. I personally lean more towards rally/drifting and this is one seriously badass hot rod!!

It is nice to have the push button on the firewall behind the motor like that too. The triple shut-off switch setup will keep thieves away as well.

Harden up bro.

​@karenthomson9749 soundin like a real Karen.

THIS! Makes me so angry. Many many years at following motortrend and roadkill and many other shows now cant see anything even with paying money... Yeah nice.

@@Fileguru i agree!

@@greghaa that Doesnt make me Any less offended or pissed off, its the principal, it’s fkn rude

@@madeiniceland7459 I hear you. I get it. No doubt this is about the $. It always is.

@@greghaa i agree, its most likely some money and legal stuff there dealing with, it might be fixed when the lawyers figure it out:)

Really? Yet another Ford with a Chevy engine is the best video you've ever seen on Motor Trend? Really?!

🤣

or Martin Sheen's "California Kid"

​@@humberto1988 i thinks thats a great little movie

The HR on demand press release stated that laws changed and they were shutting off out of US / Canada subscriptions. A non HR related channel located in a Euro country stated that they have to pay taxes to the US and their country of origin for any YT profits. I'm betting this applies to non YT content too and might be why HR shut off out of US / Canada subscriptions.

@@bobroberts2371 Interesting - but if that would generally apply to US made content, YT or not, there wouldn´t be any US shows availlable over here anymore...but from streaming services, normal TV networks to Payperview there is tons of US content availlable and they are still able to make some good profit out of it. That change of law would most certainly apply to them as well. I get that some networks in Europe own the rights to some of the additionary content they offered but that shouldn´t affect their original productions. I have to look into that whole tax thing...if it is affecting US content that hard, I wonder why MT on demand is seeming to be about the only platform having those kind of issues with bringing their content to Europe.

Also when I could watch it in Australia!

Exactly this

Well said! Absolutely annoyed to have lost access from UK, and have it replaced with the poor Discovery option.....least I get Discovery free from mobile supplier but it is months behind

Why put a Ford motor in it?

He wants to go fast junk ford engines can’t do that

@@Wanous-hv7zo - you mean you need a complete aftermarket engine to run what a stock coyote would I think the trash here is garbage motors

@@Wanous-hv7zo People who stick Chevy engines in everything are cancer in the hot rodding world. They're lazy, boring, and uncreative. They're the sort of people who painted by numbers as a kid and now believe lizard people are real as adults.

@@barrysnell6775 do you not understand why people do that? Chevy engines make reliable power for less money. That is purely it

yep hurts don't it

who ever built it , it’s a cool model A , kind of reminiscent to the hot rods of yesteryear … and agree on the latter

yea i kind of wish they stuck with ford for the motor, like a 460 or something, but oh well its still a snazzy rig either way

I watch it on motortrend on demand in Canada... Wait and get a deal on Christmas for 2$/month....

Even if you don’t wait for a deal it’s only $45/year. That’s less than 2 tickets to a movie + popcorn. And with the subscription you get TONS of other auto content.

@@m.andre-l.5970 You're still in the allowable zone, no Motortrend for anyone in Europe and Asia etc that isn't north/south/central America and Canada

@@jbro507 that's why Motortrend is so brilliant and the only shows I watch is car shows and being in England watching old American junk goin fast was amazing but then Motortrend screws us because politics

@@harleyrobertson73 Probably need to get a VPN, pick a location and watch what you want.

Ya , Plus it's expensive and won't be comfortable to drive very far. To Drags and back home , maybe. You only live once.

Which is really nice but steel body replica is just as good and for 25k for a bare 5 window body from united Pacific is fantastic or a roadster rolling chassis with a bare body for 22k is awesome

Not to Fret. Any build done Right always is.. Do a careful build plan and budget. ThenTriple Budget amt, Now you're close . But tell no one what you spent. Build time can be done kwik , if you never sleep..........Being young helps a bunch too.

Because They didn't build it. Steve Strope built it and Dave and Steve put the engine in it. They had someone build everything for it. The only thing that they built was the wiring harness a plumb the fuel lines.
