- In Episode 4, the Shifters need to find their way back from an incredible tragedy that rocked the very foundation of the hot rod and custom car culture they helped create. Would the club park its hot rods, never to be seen again? Would the TV shows, car shows, and other car clubs forget about the Shifters? Turns out, the Shifters still had a few tricks up their vintage sleeves and some gas in the tank!

That was AWESOME
Thanks 😢😅
I never want this series to end.
It doesn’t have to if you tell everybody ‘have you seen The Motor Underground yet?’
This series on The Shifters has been great.
Cheers Anthony, Cheers Shifter’s.. thanks for the series, l’m glad there bringing the bubble top back, thanks.
This is a great series.
Bravo. Thanks for the great memories.
Crap happens. I use to host a poker night once per month for many years. We’d chat about cars, work & beer. Then, slowly, everyone started bailing. People moved, got married, had kids or had new relationships. Pretty soon, nobody was available any longer. Now, I have a unused poker table, but I’ll always have my ‘46 Chevy.
I was into the life when I didn't know it was a life. I really don't think it ever leaves you. Love the format.
That's the thing: we don't know we're creating something while we're in the midst of creating it. Thank god there's enough photographic and film footage evidence of it to make this story!
Good friends, cool hot rods will always stand the rest of time. Awesome series.
That IS timeless, ain't it?
Very Very Good...more of Shifters !
Hot Rod 4 life! God Speed on getting Anthony's car done gentlemen. The hot rod community is watching, behind you, and cheering you on! God Bless his family and you as you lift up his memory.
We all think of the BNB as "our" car, and that's a lot of responsibility for the club! But I think they get that, too...
Enjoyed!!!! 👍👍
So good….THANKS man!!
More episodes please…bloody awesome🍺🍺🍺cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍
Put together very well! You guys rock…
I turned 21 in the HB rockabilly scene of Taxies and after that bar shut down , I thought the scene was thinning out , until I found out about what was goin on in old town Orange , Holy S4it , talk about a revival !
Needless to say , I had to relocate out to Old Town after that and get an education on the car culture.
Episode 4 really touched my soul, I remember so vividly working all through the night with Anthony and the rest of of the Shifters, to get the Bubble top and Marky's Purple Eater ready for a show, I remember fitting New rear brakes on the Bubble top and I think it was around three am, we were all tired, hungry and drunk lol.
We got it done just in time and when I walked out of Anthony's workshop behind the Doll Hut, the Sun was out. I said to Anthony, " You need me to get you any breakfast?"
He said in a British Accent.
" No Cock! I got me a Bottle of Beer old Chap"
Always made me laugh even if I was exhausted.
What an amazing memory, Steve--thanky for sharing!
Great story. Thanks for sharing that
Great series, great cars. Also spotted 2 Australian number plates in the background from the state I'm from!!
Cheers
I hope they keep this going and also a huge Thank you to Alex for the Suede Palace at the GNRS. IT’S ALWAYS A GREAT TIME
i subscribed because of this series. keep it up. we need traditional hot rod shows.
AGREED. Tryna bring back a hot rod show to Nor-Cal...
Great story. Find more great stories. Make more videos like these. Well done.
We're on it! I think you're gonna dig this next season that we're just getting started on now...
Have tears watching this. Fantastic job, and we look forward to seeing new builds, as well as the restoration of Anthony's Bubble Top
Real talk: I still tear-up a little on this episode
Great bunch of guys, parties with The Shifters back in the early 90s. They were a riot, going to shows, pissing off neighbors, raising pure adolescent hell. It's been decades since I've seen any of those guys so it's great to see them again in this. I'll never forget holding on to the back axle of Sinus ratrod dragging us around a dirt lot in Ontario, CA. Where I threw a party. Just.simply. mad 😅
Who is this? I wonder if I know you.
Well, I enjoyed my time with hot rods. That was back in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Built not bought. I’m not ever giving up on the Love I have for it, I got my 36 pu in 67, I still have it. I have a son that will be starting on the 36’s we got last year, in the future. He has a few other projects in front of them , like a 66,70,71,72 Ford Pu’s . And yes I still drink n smoke 😊
Fuckin AWESOME DUDES! Keep ROCKIN! 🤘🏼
With big guvt and such trying to make us Conform into green whatever This is Great Seeing Old School from Cali ! I love watching Jonny Mopar from Cali and All his Very Unrusty Goodness ! Being from Illinois I'm envious of your weather ! Best scene is sundown Camara backing out of small garage with hot rod and best friends together again ! 👍
We thought the same thing--that parting shot really says it all, amiright?
I was thinking the same thing, endless summers in So. Cal, as it’s snowing this morning in NNY, my Hot Rod is in a quiet slumber waiting for spring rain to cleanse the streets, and the all to short bike and hot rod season will start soon..
Love the series. I hope it continues; we have to see how Anthony's car turns out.
Hey, we keep saying the same thing--and we're keeping an eye on the Brown Neck Bandito's restoration. I'm hoping they put a full bubbletop back on it and Sketch gives it a new stripe job!
@@danielstoner2843 Dan, been diggin' the videos on YOUR build as well. Keep them coming!!
Scream loud enough and we’ll bring you all the weird/cool stories we can
Never mind an eye, keep a camera on it.
I love this series! please keep it up!
Will do!
Thanks Dan! Looking forward to episode 5. Not sure if I'm a car club guy or not but because there aint no rules I'm gonna keep on building my rod my way because thats my show. Well said Chip. I dont care what the others think. Cheers from the great white north
This was the last episode, Danny, but fret not--we'll have more updates on the Brown Neck Bandito and we're just getting started on the next season of The Motor Underground. It's gonna be a mindblower...

Drewfus, you summed it up just perfectly...
Can’t wait to bring ya more cool stories!
Long live the shifters
YESSSS!
And everybody else who loves their ride in spite of the naysayers!
As one of four guys that lived the life in the 60s as a small club in Detroit, I'm really digging hearing about the Shifters.
APPRECIATE YOU
Love this story love the history as a 63 yr old . The world needed the shifters.
I got in the scene when I was seventeen from the clothes the cars music and women. Now I am fortythree I still live the same way except now older loseing some hair and more costly bills to pay.
Hey, we're all there, brother--but 50 is the new 30!
Well said Foose
LOVE me some Foose! He really is an amazing guy...
@@danielstoner2843 So was his Dad !
❤
Just watched all four episodes of this, and I'm blown away! Very well done, informative and honest with true humble cool guys! Not like on most car building shows on tv today where there's always some loudmouth screaming about how he's the cream of the crop although he's wearing sunglasses indoors, I don't know what's gotten into people. This was quality!!
Becoming a teen in 1992 I was all in on the billet scene, because that was what was IT then, what was shown in the magaizines and so on. Boyd Coddington was kind, and I even chose my education with the ambition to one day make my own billet wheels. But one of the car magazines here in Sweden had a reporter stationed in Caliornia, so there were always an "US Report" in every number, and somewhere in the mid 90's he started reporting about these, what he called "modern beatniks" (???) with the traditional hot rods in primer, and it changed my life! I think the simplicity and primal energy of these cars got me going, along with how cool the dudes having them looked, alongside the women with wild hair and tattoos covering their backs. I've never looked back to that bright colored bubblegum-ish street rod scene ever again, and I still get surprised now and then that people still waste steel bodies to build them in that awful style! So I really loved seeing these episodes, no nonsense, straight from the source.
I actually didn't know until now that Anthony had passed away. I'm so sorry about that. Huge condoleces to everyone involved!
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
Great series. Been to a lot of the viva Las Vegas shows. Will be going this year forsure. Getting my 2 year old son into classic cars as my father did with me.
Start him off right with a hawt rawd, Lawrence!
@@danielstoner2843 got my 73 Chevy C10 for now to start with and he loves it
Fun series. Well done. Thanks 👍
Appreciate the love! You in Pittsburgh, Berto?
@@danielstoner2843 Yes, originally. Las Vegas Now. You ?
@@michaelbertovich San Francisco! Never looked back...
Thankye kindly!
When I started reading Hemmings back in the sixties they were strictly anti hot rods and modified vehicles. Now lookie. My, my.😂
You're welcome! 😁
Awesome man. Hope to meet these guys at the strip sometime 👍🏽
Marky and the Purple People Eater can't stay away from the dragstrip for too long...
Incredible!
I remember when Axle put the Model A into the wall of the parking structure at Viva
Got my first hotrod at 22! 1931 PU and built a 296 flatty for it! Wish other people were into it! People dont know how to make garbage gold anymore and just purchase bolt on parts for there subaru! Im from pittsburgh pa, so if anyone around is into hotrods, just pm me!
Edit: btw im 23 yo now!
You got Yankee Dave Walter just east of you in the Harrisburg area--he's as old-school as it gets...find him on FB and give him a jingle!
I got a glass 34 on an old dirt track frame in eastern central pa. Theres a few younger guys like us floating around
Dan, love the series, it got my juices flowing to finish the 1930 Dave started for me.
Time to get it finished up and on the road!
This series could be turned into movie...
Funny you mention that…
That's cool you remember your brother don't give up shifters for ever for ever shifters
Hey, the scene left, some of us have kept it going. Boys why didn't you all tell me about Anthony? The Invaders were friends for a very long time. One of the posers rubbed my nose in that nobody thought to ring me about it. We would have been there. That aside we miss you guys alot. One day we will drive out from Arizona and meet up again.

Every guy or gal that owns a Hot Rod has a car club, they just haven’t met them all yet.
Nice video!!!!!
Thanks for the support!
This is so fucking cool.
Do a video of that hudson please 🙏
That thing is BITCHIN, right? Sinus is seeing this, hopefully...
I’m building my 1st one 31 3 window coupe sbhemi desoto

I think it's safe to say no to marriage!!
😶😶😶
It was fun and cool, now it’s not.
RIGHT. It's up to us to make it fun again...
@@danielstoner2843 i’m working on my last custom. I am morphing an MGB into a 1954 Packard Clipper called: The Clipper “B”. Most of my old buddies are dead or stay pretty much in their shops/houses. Some even quit drinking. I’ll finish up at Christmas and then sell off all my tools and junk of 50 years.
Are you and Emily still together? I don’t hear either one of you talking about each other.
I hv no idea what these guys are talking about
