- Hey guys, This is one of the harder videos to edit. We went out to @HolleyPerformance Ford Fest & brought out Snicker's our 1978 Ford F150 4x4 with a @MastMotorsports 7.3L Godzilla & sent it a little too hard.

It’s no longer snickers, its Reese’s pieces.
This comment deserves more likes

🤣🤣
Perfect answer!!!!
#winnerwinnerchickendinner
He says he doesn’t care but we all know deep down he’s hurting. In a day or two he’s gonna feel it
Trust me it hurts.
Try harder to be like Cody.
Almost physically looked like it hurt ..that was a hell of a tire grenade
@@luther250F BOO!!!😆
@@jamesplymire5342 if he says “honestly, I don’t care” enough, he might convince himself he actually means it.
The fact that he “doesn’t care” baffles me lol. Definitely just ruined a piece of history that will never be the same again. Good job, can’t wait to see the re paint
I do care, that was misconstrued.
What i meant was I don’t care about anything materialistic
The fact that this kid made a whistling diesel video..is beyond me...come on vato...the whole point of ford era I'm sure Is to rebuild and fix these trucks..you said it best that you had no idea how to drive this truck..all you needed was new tires ..but you instead put a 20k motor....dude I'm a loss..such a nice truck such a nice story behind it and to blow it on a burn out....tastless...when some one says they don't care and that they were just having fun that means...you don't know what your doing..... Thats bull *""$$
Not only that but your truck stalled three times... Take the truck back and fix that first
I disagree. I respect Cody. He goes into his videos with plans of destruction. I however got out of hand with it.
The tires were within the safe time to use. It was a mess of things that caused it.
I do care, what I meant was that compared to my life i don’t care about the truck it’s just materialistic.
@@FordEra it's just that there's alot of time and money that the average man is looking at you putting it into this..and for someone or anyone for that matter to say I dont care...is like a slap in the face..I like what you do and a I respect someone like yourself..but don't please don't blow these things up.how would the guy that painted the truck think about what you did to his truck ..living or not..you took 60k and made it worth a salvage truck
Snickers tried to tell you no by continuously stalling but finally he said, "Alright lets do this!"
More $$$ than brains……shoulda just rocked that beaut how she was after the swap and enjoyed it. Will never be the same truck.
That was stupid you just messed up a beautifully truck
As we used to say in road racing…never race anything you’re not: 1) prepared to set on fire and 2) push off a cliff. The awesome thing is that you’re having fun with your cars and trucks. Your rigs aren’t sitting in the garage under a cover. Shit happens. You didn’t get hurt, you’re healthy…you will, like all car guys & gals, pick up the pieces and rebuild. Good luck.
Never race anything: 3) that you don't have full coverage on
sorry but all I can say is BONEHEAD
I always thought you respected these old trucks.
Only adding a comment to say how sick I am of all the creators destroying vehicles in name of likes and subs. If you want to have fun tearing up an old truck hit the junkyard and buy a rusty piece of crap and leave the good ones alone to those that will take care of them
It wasn’t the intention
Hell! He did more start up then burnouts. 😂🤣😂🤣
What a shitty way to ruin a great truck
Wow I never thought I’d see you disrespect a truck like that, Solomon I really disappointed in you, this channel was all about saving truck, not destroying them. That I guess whistling diesel would be proud.!!!
Man when I saw the thumbnail my heart nearly stopped... so heartbreaking to see Snickers blown apart like that .
You've got a great attitude , brother ... can't wait to see what the next step is for Snickers 2.0 !
The thumbnail had nothing on the loud explosion when it happened...
Dude that was insane!! I was there & have a video of it (not as good as yours though). I was in the stands & voted for you after every other car ran. You won by a mile! My mind is still blown from seeing that live, so I can't even imagine how you feel after that. You're right about the haters or purists or whatever. But dude, the reason we do any of this is to HAVE FUN! & no doubt you did. As well as bringing joy to so many of us watching. Thanks brother, appreciate you bringing us along for the ride!
Thank you for the good vibes man!
Well that was pretty dumb, nice going.
And this is why I don’t do burnout competitions.
Best part is you've documented it before and after. Think snickers will grow your channel now. Stay with it and build it back like you said. Love watching the channel grow
That was crazy man. I've never seen anything like that in my life. Glad you're ok. Can't wait to see the rebuild.
When your truck blows a tire and your not feeling like yourself, have a snickers.
😂
That was such a nice ORIGINAL truck! Why?
Your truck your channel, but I hate to see this done to an original truck with custom paint, burn out competitions like this will definitely drive up the prices for people with clean survivors. I had a hard time finding a cheap 70's truck with a rust free bed in the 90's when I bought my first F150 so I settled on an 83... but at least you find them and drive them better than rusting behind the barn.
It was crazy to see in person! The slow mo clips are so cool in this video, it sounds like a cannon firing. I hate to see it happen to such a rad truck but you sure put on a show! Keep doing what you do.
The burnout was not worth it.
True, but the memories were
You need to rename the truck to milky way! You sent that tire into outer space!
I searched for Ford Era on CZcams, and I got this “Ford Error”…just kidding. Looking forward to the rebuild and seeing Snickers 2.0. We love Ford Era and love your channel!
Went from cool guy to fool guy in one turn.
Good thing you have lots of spare parts you'll need them after this.
So that’s what built Ford tough looks like! I always wondered! Seriously tho if the tire didn’t leave the ground it most likely never would have blown, glad everyone was ok, like you said the truck can be repaired. Love the slow motion part of it exploding!
That's nothing to be proud of. So much for your 50K original truck. Several thousands of dollars and countless hours of bodywork for 45 seconds of fun. Just FYI, all the beds are interchangeable from 1973-1996. Go to pick 'n pull and get a newer bed, then hang dentside quarters on it. (you have to get full quarters, obviously) I'm glad to hear you plan on rebuilding it. Maybe put a locker in it next time.
Man that’s hard to watch! I can’t wait to watch the rebuild
Dude , I have always respected your channel , your truck ,your choice , but after this my outlook has changed
Get over it
@@TheDeathAngel8 , Dude , I'm over it , i don't much give a fuck what he does with his shit , I just love this channel so much that I don't want to see it go the way of some channels that tear shit up just for the clicks
@@customrodandrestoration3277 but it's obvious he didn't do it for the kicks of destroying the truck he just accepted that it happened and moved on unlike some man children in this comment section
@@customrodandrestoration3277 It's already there. That dude is only for the content. He ruined a really cool truck for no reason.
I get that it’s yours and you can do what you want but damn dude! People dream about owning trucks like snickers and they may never be able too. you come along and say nah let’s F it up for fun. This is not going too age well!
Lol imagine worrying about someone else's dreams
That’s why I don’t do dumb stuff like that. But definitely fun to watch others!
'Too much power. The Ford 7.3 Godzilla. Too much power.'
That killed a real nice survivor.. hopefully you put it back together and have the paint don't to the same effect.. it was super unique...
Yeah honestly a real shame
Yooo beautiful peace of art got destroyed amazing job Salomon you killed it 😂🎉
What counts is no one got hurt. The spectators loved it. I loved it. Things will always happen with any vehicle when you push beyond it limits. That became a CZcams moment. Congratulations 👍
It hurt my soul to see that happen to Snickers but I'm glad everyone was ok. I definitely would've been upset. Can't wait for the rebuild.
That's how you unwrap a snickers.
"you're not you when you're hungry, hungry for awesomeness! Snickers, satisfies"! That was awesome, 2.0 will dominate
the way that tire exploded and blew the truck apart was unreal.and the dude asked if you were going to blow the tires off.should go viral..
This brings a tear to my eye. 😪 That truck was so sweet, and now it's basically totaled. lol It was epic to watch, no doubt, but I sure wish it would've been a typical rusty POS this happened to!!! Ha! Have fun with the rebuild, but I most definitely say RIP OG Snickers, you were taken from us too soon!!! 😂
That's crazy that a tire blowing caused that much damage. Looking forward to the rebuild
Any idea what the Speedo was reading when it came apart? Or what gear it was in?
Speedo said 80
I would have never expected that to happen! Oh well, pretty easy fix… I’m just concerned about the stalling- reminds me of my old 460 with Autolite 4350 carb- any idea why it’s happening?
The next thing we need is another whistling diesel one is plenty
Right rear tire leaves the chat
Bed side leaves the chat
Wheel well leaves the chat
Bits of tail light and bed floor “hey guys, wait for us!”
How many lbs of air did u have in tires 100lbs
Solomon, you are right. At the end of the day it’s your truck, and there’s no point in just letting them sit and the earth reclaim it. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it now!
BFGs wouldn't have blowed out like that. Always remember that. If destroying that short bed didn't bother you I didn't know what to say. But then again, I'm 59 yrs old. I grew up loving the 73-79 fords. Oh we'll. Make some lemonade man. And BTW I hope you do a detailed video on the godzilla swap. I'd love to do it to my 77 f 150 4x4 short bed.
Thanks buddy, history can’t be changed. I learnt a lesson and I’ll rebuild it.
I will be making a video of it all
@@FordEra I look forward to seeing the video and what you're planning for snickers. At least you have plenty of original spare parts so you can keep it all ford and no China junk.
That was stupid. Why not blow up the new junk instead of the cherished classics.
Man you know these things happen. Accidents will happen boys being boys. Hey sometimes we do things that we don't mean to do and we didn't expect to do but they haven't. So you know we shall move on we shall persist, I hope and you're endeavors. You and Snickers have a wonderful time doing whatever you do I will remain watching. God bless
Everyone hating on him for an accident that he had no control over is the reason people don’t want to finish their build or are afraid to share their project Solomon is an A+ guy with an awesome personality best of luck man can’t wait to see snickers live again
Bullshit! He had full control over what happened. He chose to drive into that burnout box, with those tries, and pin the pedal to the floor. He can say what he wants, he knew going in that it was a possibility. Sucks that he chose to do it with such a nice truck when there are a lot of them out there that no one would have cared about, but his truck and his money.
Me and dad restored his 77 when I was a kid. I drove it in high school and years afterward. My parents lost everything in a out of control "controlled burn" including that truck. Priceless sentimental value. Made me sick seeing that video.
Sorry to hear that happened. I feel sick too
Dang brother. I’m glad your alright. I never seen a tire explode like that. Can’t wait to see what you do in the rebuild.
folks chill out. he knows he screwedup and he's hurting bad inside. this is something he won't forgot
I bet the guy that sold it to him regrets it.
I wouldn't have done that to my truck but it sure was fun watching you do it to your truck! Lol ...haters gonna hate no matter what! Keep doing your thing and putting out awesome Ford videos! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
That’s so awesome! The best part is your attitude. Can’t wait for the rebuild.
Hey man I know that hurts but I know you'll have it back and better than ever! Glad you're ok!
Imagine building a nice old ford that took a lot of hard earned money and time for some of us. Just to be more excited of a rebuild at the end that just goes to show how much of work the guy who owns it actually does compared to all the rest of us.
I don’t want to be that guy. But that burnout sucked. Like kid driving daddy’s car at Coffee and Cars and forgot to turn off Traction Control
I’m not arguing, it was a 1 tire fire. I didn’t expect to win i just wanted to join in
@@FordEra oh no I meant it shutting off and the driving having to turn it back on. Tire smoke is tire smoke, one wheel or 4 wheels spinning
That was hard to see for those of us who spend years and hard earned cash getting their F100 drivable. I always looked to this channel for inspiration and encouragement in keeping Ford trucks alive and preserving their history. In fairness , I do not believe you thought the possibility of damage could be that bad. Now that you can see what could happen , I hope it affects your decision making in the future. (perhaps reserve your burnout with big explosive tires for Chevys)
It was and is still extremely hard for me too. Never in my mind did i actually expect this to happen to it. Sadly this wasn’t my plan but I believe that God intended it to happen as it did.
I’m just praying for clarity to understand the reasoning.
That's what I said....the story behind the truck died when he blew the tire
@@FordEra 💩 crap happens. God doesn’t micromanage this planet like so many believe. It rains on the just and unjust. It’s how you choose to handle it that separates you from the rest.
@@Milllusos Stories dont die unless forgotten. The truck isn't totaled, everyone is safe. This isnt some teenager who will have to sell it for scrap, he has the resources to repair it. This only adds to the trucks "story."
Poor Snickers! I love original vehicles, especially ones that have original custom paint!
As the saying goes, they are only original once!
I have mixed emotions over this one...If it were mine (which obviously it isn't) I would be pretty upset but then again. I wouldn't have entered such a one of a kind time capsule to begin with...but that's just me.
We’re are you located at with all the trucks forsale
It will buff out...
Stupid to destroy that truck!
Bro I have never seen anything like this before. I was about to part out my old Ford trucks, my 2007 4.2 transmission just went but I came across your video and now you have me rethinking. Loved it, that was something. All the best with the rebuild. Looking forward to more
Snickers is a great truck. Any great truck can always be fixed with the right amount of love and appreciation given to it. Can't wait to see Snickers 2.0. Haters will hate.
unsubscribed after that
Lol
Same. Him saying he doesn’t care was enough for me.
@@declanvillar5557 lol
He didn't plan for that to happen. He's just trying to stay positive and honestly it looked like it needed a bed anyway seeing it came apart in such spectacular fashion 😳
@@gbaileyo7 he knew it would get damaged, it's only that way once. It won't be the same after that. I won't watch anymore.
I don’t think Snickers likes burnouts but thank you for taking care of it.
The way the truck was cutting out sounds like you need to change your fuel tank out for a baffled tank with sump
It is a baffled rank with a sump & foam
I hope the old dude you bought it from doesn’t see this. Probably break his heart. A friend of mine back in 1980 bought a pristine 68 cougar XR7 with a 390 from a neighbor,an older man himself,down the street with the understanding that it would be in good hands. He destroyed it over the course of a year. They were devastated watching it slowly die. They offered to buy it back for same amount even though damaged but no dice. About four months later he lost control in the rain ran it into a ditch at 60 miles an hour destroying it completely. I came by to see how bad the damage was and the neighbor he bought it from was walking away with a defeated look on his face. But hey it’s just a car,right?
The guy i got it from messaged me and was sad that it happened but was happy I’m enjoying it
That probably wasn't the best way to promote that Godzilla motor!! Especially when it kept dieing every time he attempted a donut and it's not even running a carburetor. I will say that tire explosion was freaking EPIC!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hey it is what it is! That tire coming apart was crazy though!
Why did it keep shutting off?
"I was gonna repaint quarter panel", you sure as heck are now!
I'm glad that you are ok. It was so funny when I saw Craigs face when you blew up the tire. It looked like you broke his heart and he was in shock. lol
Dude! That was EPIC!
You said it. Ok the idea it would blow apart like that couldn't have entered your mind. Plus to buy something and Not drive it,well your buying for all the wrong reasons. Love you Man!
You're loss our gain!
No Regrets!
Looked like that quarter panel gave the entire crowd AND world a big ass Ford middle finger!
mosdeff worth 1st place, that was epic cool. Beds are a easy fix also.Super Cool 😎
Sheet metal can be repaired. Obviously wasn't your intention to damage the truck, glad you're safe!. Makes me happy to see people out doing things with these old trucks rather than cursing them to a life of museum decay because its unique. I own a fleet of dentsides myself and use them for work and play daily on the ranch. Remember, "A ship is safe in a harbor but that is not what a ship is built for."
100%
I love your attitude about the whole situation 🤠 keep on truckin man! I'll be subscribing for sure.
Nice job jackwagon. Money is not the same as brains
All I can say was that was freaking awsome man. Can wait to see new build.
Thanks for demonstrating to everyone that in a 1 wheel peel the spinning tire is going twice what the speedo reads. Exceeded the max speed of the tire pretty quick with that new motor. Shame to see that patina truck get trashed but I'm sure all the views make it worth it financially.
I think financially this was a bad move, but this isn’t a business for me. I’m just documenting my life and sharing it with everyone
You know you did something good when somebody says "dude I've never seen that"....
Did you drive through Colorado with snickers? I could of swore I seen snickers going down the road
Dang man well at least you had fun. It's a beautiful truck. Can't wait to see the new build.
It hurts my heart to see that happen but they are meant to be enjoyed not put on a shelf and looked at can't wait to see it when it's fixed love the channel thanks for all the good content
Stop being Soloman, eat a Snicker. Oh wait, you did...
Would that had happen if the tire was filled with just air ?
What else would it be filled with if not air?
What was your tought process on doing burnouts on overinflated off-road tires
That was a badass burn out show Solomon. But it put a tear to my eye to see the right quarter panel explode into pieces. Can't wait for the rebuild bud. Gary Behrens (Blue Mules one and two)
It was so crazy to see in person but I still don't think it should've won the burnout contest just because the truck destroyed itself. There were so many other better burnout performances. Glad you guys had fun though.
Wow. That was crazy cool to see. I couldn't believe how that tire did so much damage to a beautiful truck. Can't wait to see what you do to it in the future.
That’s why open rear ends and oversized tires are no bueno for burnouts. It puts double the wheel speed to one tire if the other is planted. You could see it ballooning big time before it gave up. Idk what his speedo was reading but that tire would be doing double that.
That's not a 1978 F150 Ranger, it's a 1978 F150 Exploder! 🤣
How much psi were you running?
