Full Build: Watch A '29 Ford Roadster Turn Into A Raunchy Rat Rod

Rat Rods are hot! So, Joe and Mike explore the lifestyle and go on a mission to find the perfect Rat Rod body for our "Raunchy Rat". First, they visit the annual Street Rod Nationals in search of a chassis for their '29 roadster Rat Rod body. Then, back at the shop they load it with suspension, brakes and a steering box. After that, they show you how to channel the body to make it ride right on the frame before building and installing a vintage Ford Flathead motor, supercharger and transmission as Raunchy Rat gets closer to completion.

Then Joe and Mike finish the brakes and clutch, also creating a floorboard with road signs, installing some off-the-wall seats and finishing touches. A rat rod is never finished, so it seems. However, Joe and Mike finally put the finishing touches on their '29 Ford before Mike takes it to a local car show to blow people's minds.

My grandfather always liked what he called a jalopy because he could park it anywhere and not worry about it getting stolen but still out run the police.

Couple thoughts:
1: The title should be .. "How To Spend Way Too Much Building A Rat Rod"!
2: Finish the fab work before painting your chassis!
3: Shop for cheap used parts so that the finale cost won't be a LOT more than the finished product is worth!
4: Learn how to fab some Rat Rod parts .... especially a grill because that one sucks worse than anything ever sucked before.
5: That's not a 9 inch ... someone lied to you .... and you should know your rear ends before getting on TV and talking about them!
6: And last but most important: Watch Rat Rod Bob Builds before building your Rat Rod.

Its a street rod with a rusty body, you guys just don't get it, sorry, "A" for effort but real ratrods aren't built with store bought parts and a shop like a ladies kitchen, they are scrounged from junk piles and built on a greasy garage or even a dirt floor by talented backyard engineers

Nice Div . Ek het my so ingeleef in jou vloer job, ek het tot my oë toegamaak wanneer jy tack of weld . Gooi mielies, jy vorder mooi .God bless .

That panel over behind the seat positions, I’d cut out and use for space of things to come or need on the road. Great vlog, it’s still a hot rod that HAD TO BE BUILT. And I’d put one of the Chrysler 3.6 Ltr., v6, twin ohc, 296 hp, just to be different, and a good engine that doesn’t start with “LS SOMETHING”. My Chrysler van will burn the rubber if punched with the v6. It’s also compact.

The angle between the lower seat and back looks like a real tailbone buster.

[garyreinke]

Love rat rods, but build it like a normal person would in a drive way with tools and not with with endless money

[leevahal]

What happened to the $2500 budget?Not exactly a rat if it cost15k to build

[Wrenchen-with-Darren]

To cool, you can build one, for about 30 grand. Love it.👍

The PCV valve is a smog device I like, it pulls bad vapors out of the crankcase before they condense into the oil, making the engine last longer between overhauls.

"Just like you" Brutal humor I didn't catch on the first pass.
