I've been following along for a few years as John and his friends have built one of the most unique and creative vehicles I've ever seen before. He took a Shoebox '49 Ford body, chopped it, widened it and placed it on a BMW 335i and added a big 62 mm single turbo and this thing rips! It makes over 600 hp, over 500 lbs of torque and looks like something straight out of Mad Max/Road Warrior. Check out Maniacs Garage on KZfaq when you get a chance.

Hey all! I'm John's (the builder) father-in-law. So proud of him, seemingly there is nothing he can't accomplish. Never mentioned, but this build is while John actually runs 3 businesses within his real estate company. Also, this car is the latest in a line of approximately 11 cars he has built. Our john is the best!

@@AutotopiaLA 10:07 yeah you are pretty American just like most Americans. Just being completely dumb about what is happening in the rest of the world. A great example of how stupid the average American is and still thinking they live in the best country of the world while it is a third world country with the highest amount of people locked up. Besides that, getting in a car without proper seatbelts and crashing it hard is another example of how shallow and dumb you are…😂 I pity your wife (if you even have one) and more your parents. 😢

You're killing me Sean! I tried to catch these guys when I took my Son out to UTI's Volvo program in Avalon Az. They were busy getting it ready for SEMA, so couldn't do it. Then, three months later when I picked him up, they were at Holley Fuel Fest the Saturday we left, and I didn't even know about it until I got home. I was seriously bummed. I followed the build from I guess about a year into it. This is the true definition of "Build what moves you". Obviously not everybody's cup of tea, but I thought it was just Killer!

This thing is totally rad. It's not a rat rod because it's nicer looking, but it's not a smooth and sanded out car. You can see the welds, and the builder is not worried about making it pretty. You can see the scuffed metal on the body. I don't mean that as a slight in any way. That gives this car character and makes it a beast of it's own. Awesome that this guy did this in his spare time and wasn't afraid to play outside of the box. I would drive this on the daily if I owned it.

From zero to 100 in 5 seconds flat. Road a drove like it was on rails. That is when those cars were the best of the best. Put 100k miles on it and never once broke down. Today they are trying to get way to much power out of really small motors. I want to see that done and down right brother. Neal APOLLO BEACH FLORIDA SEMPER FI OHHHHHH RAAAAAA

Really cool to see the custom car community using a 335i donor more specifically the N54 powerplant!

A chopped 49 was supposed to be my first car until a tree fell on it. The 65 Falcon hardtop was cool, but damn I wanna do one like this!

Thanks John, for some serious creativity. You just know it'll take Shawn at least a week to peel that grin off his face!!! Coming from a long BMW background (1st car was a '67 BMW 1600 in 1969 & there have been many since then up to a 330xi for the last ten years...), I'm curious about how you got past the iDrive software that ties nearly everything into it. Deleting stuff from the computer's control usually makes them lose their minds. How did you get past that? That sort of thing was soooo much easier in 1949! Really impressive project John, very well done!! 👍

Hey, Shawn... been watching the channel for a good while now. In watching this episode, it made me think, I haven't seen a mercury sled on here yet. It would be so cool to see an all out custom merc sled chopped, beautiful interior, ford powered.
