Must see - Hot-Rod Documentary
I ran across this guy...............and the short documentary is incredible. I would challenge anyone here that in their heart there's a piece of this dude in all of us.
Not only his story, lifestyle but how he sees things. Very inspiring to me personally as the early part of his childhood parallels my own. There are 2 additional videos of him that should follow. Please watch those as well. Enjoy....................... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7J4h6d_vEI

Pretty cool! I have always had a thing for "rat rods". Thank you for sharing! He reminds me of Lucky from King of the Hill (RIP, Tom Petty)

Saw a pretty cool documentary on "old yeller".
IIRC the guy built race cars by laying out the design on the garage foor with chalk then cutting and welding pipe together. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a30124/max-balchowsky-old-yeller-ii/ Sorry, too late in the day for google the film, it may be on Youtube.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing that. The kind of "car guy" I have the utmost respect for. These are the kind of auto related stories I like to see.
Real easy to write a check and buy a car, or have one built for you. This guy walks the walk. .
