    Yes, Sir! I bought one of the original Hookers & Blow tees in support of this bad-boy the day you posted it! This was a cool video that showed all of the design, fabrication, and construction steps for this One of a Kind Fab Wrecker Rod! You have excellent design skills and understand how to turn an idea into a reality. It's great to see the family pitching in on the build right alongside you! I had a lot of fun watching this one come together. Excellent work, Tony.

      Might of sounded crazy, but I was having a great time & blowing my mind with the music & watching the video at the same time!!
      You guys are awesome with the video and what a fantastic old truck getting a new life & letting the people looking at it while driving, Now thats what you call in awesome Rat Rod, Me and my late brother tore down in old worn out,beat up old Vega into a Rat Rod and it looked cool and everyone wanted to drive it, but your built was way better than ours!!

    Rat rod builders are unfortunantly often people with a minimum of skills, and blame their lazyness on the "style" of the build. So in their oppinion it should be ok to build scrap, more or less. Now this is something completely different. Highly skilled proffessionals who build with performance, quality and divine design as their trademark. It made my heartrate go up when i saw the unnessesary screw holes in the firewall being welded shut. Loved the strengthened frame corners and the understanding for proper levelling of the frame during the build. Diamont pattern on the floor panels..? Oh, yes.. This is an absolutely top end build, you Sirs, are true professionals!
