Legend. He really gets it too, I like what he said about the Mustangs and Camaros, and the old Fords turning into a wealthy man thing. It really goes a long way to have a person from the older generation respect how and why the younger hot rudders are doing what they do.

Nicely made video, and Robert Williams is a pioneer of the low brow artists, but I recently did some extensive research on the Rat Rod subject. In 1993 one of the members of the Shifters used the term Rat Rod, and it is in print. Baskerville's article didn't come out until 5 years later. A lot of people owned primered cars in the 1970's and 80's while waiting for a paint job. Doesn't mean that their cars were Rat Rods.

I have got to tell you I have throughly enjoyed this video as well as several others. I stumbled across your KZfaq channel because of your video of Jack Carrol's 1932 Ford ( I have a 32 for roadster so I am always looking for videos of other guys build to inspire me on my build). Anyhow I watched that video, the one about your grandpa, as well as your dad's garage tour (loved him sharing his collection) and now this one. First off great filming/editing/sound of every one of them. But really made my jaw hit the floor (in this order) finding out your uncle is Robert Williams, your dad worked on Rod & Custom magazine for years and he is friends with Keith Wesner as well as here is a young man who continuing this fine automotive tradition within your family. Why these particular moments? Well all of these instances are people who I know and have followed as a illustrator, designer and hot rodder all my life. As well as like you I grew up in a family who are/were big into street rods/hot rods/classic cars. Anyhow great work across the board and keep it up. I will definitely go seek out more of your past videos to watch as I work on my computer for a break.

A lot of hot rod royalty here with Robert, Pete and Jake, P-wood, Roth, etc. Didn't know Robert was your uncle. Pretty cool to have that heritage. I remember in the early 90's when he showed up at Bob's Big Boy with the new paint job. Everybody (including me) kind of freaked out and didn't understand why he "ruined" the bitchin' Deuce roadster he had. After all, it was the famous "Aces and Eights" car that everybody knew. I now understand why but being a traditional guy, I still prefer the previous look. Great to hear him talk about how he came to CA and worked with Roth. I was a huge Zap comics fan in the 70's too.
