New merch www.amfilmfest.com/marketplace?Collection=Four+Speed Did a little interview on my Uncle and had a blast! This video took me about 60 hours to complete haha! Subscribe for more content🏁

Love hearing the old hot rod stories.

How the hell does this channel only have 34k subs? This is top notch work

I’m Sorry but this is an amazing production! This should be on Netflix or motortrend. I’m blown away!

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.

This was the best interview I've seen in years. What a legend

Mr Williams is also an artist with words. The way he weaves them with inflection and cadence adds to the legendary tale and photos perfectly!

I too am blown away Ive followed Ed Roth since i was a kid and wish I had been involved as these guys were Am now in LA and have worked on hot rods, more muscle type but older all my life am so glad i found this video thanks for the effort in making it its very very cool mike d....

💯!! Absolutely loved this video! The two people that gave this a thumb down need to turn in their “car guy” cards.

Best video yet! Thanks Ben and Aaron!

Amazing work Ben!!’

Great film. Love to hear from the old timers, and hopefully we can carry on the love to another generation...

I can see you stepped up your game. Awesome!

This is a great channel... nice people, nice cars, and some amazing history. These folks are the real deal.

Still have my Robert Crumb collection here. Great artists, that bunch.

Been following 4SF for a while and every episode is really amazing piece of work. Love how the story is told.. Love to see that the young generation is getting into old cars and knowing the history of the cars. As long as 4SF is cranking out episodes I'll be watching and supporting..

He's gotta be one of the coolest guy's around. I wish he could do something on my rat rod. Great video Ben.

Just now seeing this video, my grandfather was an old hot rod guy and left me a whole collection of petroleum/car related memorabilia. I have whole garage full of those cool early hot rod magazines with the cover art by this guy. What a great story he has! His video has restored the love for classic automobile history for me!

My FAVORITE Automotive ARTIST of ALL times! At 53 His posters are my most prized posters, that over the years have gone from my bedroom walls in High School, to my barracks in the USMSC to my garage walls now! Thank you SIR! You are a LEGEND!

What a legend! It was Thrasher magazine that first introduced me to Robert Williams back in the 80s. Fantastic episode - keep up the great work!!!

Man so great. It was so great to help you with this one!

“FAST TALKING CALIFORNIA SHYSTER!” Shout out to my man Fast Eddie from San Bernardino!!

this is amazing Ben, truly next level

This is one of the coolest videos you have made. All the contacts you have to old hot roders makes me jealous. Keep up the good work. Your content is some of the best on KZfaq. 🤙

Such a great story, well done! What a documentarian's wet dream.

Stumbled upon your channel because of my love of hot rods and Robert Williams and I must say that I am so impressed by the quality of the films and the editing! Fantastic. So cool to see young people keep the torch burning!

Robert Williams is just as legendary of an artist as David mann. And what David Mann was for the motorcycle industry that's what Robert Williams is for the hot rod industry.

Awesome education I just got watching your Uncle. Thanks!

Robt Williams is the reason I became a Hot Rod artist....I have his books etc and quite often watch the film that came out about him a few years back but I have to say this film came across as way way more natural....Great piece of work Ben...Can we have a film on Mr Weesner and his art next...

Oh and the reason I got the bug for a early ford was watching the show when they built your dads t, so thank you guys for that

So cool abd love! Juxtapoz.

What a great video !! Mr. Williams' fame precedes him, and the people he worked with and for are a who's who of hot rod history. Thanks so much for producing this wonderful historical review.

Great video , Robert Williams (aka Bondo Bob) and l are orignal rickshaw members along with Jerry Weeks what a great time and I'm still in it with a 27 hemi powered roadster pu

That’s what I’m talking about! Great video

Fantastic! Thanks for this.

I love what you have been doing but this is by far the best yet. The stories, pictures and interviews. It all jives together in the right way. If it was 4hrs long I would be glued.

What a great documentary short film! He’s your uncle? I remember him in Hot Rod Deluxe insert magazine that featured the Burbank Choppers. I still have it somewhere. The art section had “The Pizz” and a few other cool artists along with Robert. I think he was with his Ford at Bobs Big Boy in the article. Super cool work on the films as always Ben!

Holy One-shot Batman...these 4 Speed Films just keep getting better and better. The next Mad Fabricators Society. Robert is an underground legend. thanks for sharing.

Very, very cool piece, very well done.

Fantastic, well edited, great stories.

Lol admired his paint work for a while

Great job!! I love the history... what a cool kat!

Love the detailed stories...

So Cool. Great story

OMG this is great! Been a fan of RW for decades. Thanks for this!

Best yet! Great history right here. Ben, young guys like you and Craig909 are the absolute future of hot rodding. Keep up the great work.

That was great!

Just watched a few different productions of yours and greatly enjoyed each one. This one though ? Awesome. Subscribed.

most excellent video of a legend! Great job

Hi Ben, I've followed your films for quite sometime now ,always looking forward to the next .This offering is amazing it's like a come to life issue of The Rodder's Journal devoted to your uncle .Thank you posting... shall continue ...it's tough trying to type when I keep getting caught up listening to your uncle speak . This is as great a thumbs up I can attempt to give you .

loved it thanks keep it up your doing a great job

Awesome! Epic!

Your History Is More Of The Type We Need To See In These Changing Times! Keep The Faith, And Keep Moving Forward!!!!!

Lot of history and historical figures in this video. Thanks for documenting it for posterity.

So glad I found your channel. Awesome videos!

Lots of good info thanks for posting.

Great story.... love the car

cool to see robert

You're the man RobTWilliams!!!

Your uncle ,I believe was in the video when your Dads car was being built. Lots of good history there .Good video. And it's nice when you can do something for a living that you like .It's like not working .

Fascinating story that guy has. You should definitely look up more of these older guys and interview them.

Thank you! Maybe the greatest era for cars!

Great video .. superbly filmed and edited , great job Ben 😎

Really good Ben, really good!

Shame on you to have him only now on your channel , nice to have family with his history!!

Video is up a spot ! Keep it up !

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.

Great video and lots of knowledge

Again- way cool. Thank you for preserving this. Loved it.

Fantastic work. He's long been a favorite of mine and I dig this glimpse into his life and work from the man himself. Ruler.

Awesome story

Awesome! I have been following Robert’s work for years! Great to see him still creating!

I forgot about your uncle, thank you for the reminder! I really hope you know how lucky you are to be raised around so much history. It almost feels like you were meant to do this. Your uncle is right about you moving the next generation on vintage car building. I loved the video bud! Your uncle seems like a great guy, I hope he lives forever! Make sure you let him that he is a very important part in all of us people in our vintage car culture. Rat rods rule!

Loved it.

Everydays a school day ! Lovely tale ! Thankyou.

Very impressive, and as a young guy well 35 year old guy that about a year ago sold his muscle car and bought a early ford dont give up on the young guys yet

This is sooo cool. Your uncle is a legend!

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.

I love ZAP comics!!! I still have some!! R Crumb, Wonder Warthog, Freak Brothers, Mr. Natural,......................

Great story loaded with early hot rodding history! Thanks for sharing!

Nice!!!👍🏼 should interview more old timmers keep up the good videos!!

16 here, been a four speed fan for a year now, buying either a 50s truck or a model a to create my own rat rod here soon

Excellent video and story 👍🏽

I wish I still had the van issue of CARtoons from when I was a kid. He did a strip with coochie cooty and a deranged doctor ( or something) and the misadventure in their custom van. That and my dad's zap comics warped me at an early age.

Great story and history. Enjoyed this very much!

Thanks for making this, Robert has been one of my inspirations as an artist myself since i was a kid.

...great job Ben, what a legend !

Well done Ben I must have watched this half a dozen times, this the best film yet keep going .

Just a fantastic piece of work by Ben! That was the best cup of coffee ive had in a long time!! Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more of your videos!!!!!

Great video. That guy is legendary!

Great video Ben!

Best video yet!!! Thank you for sharing this awesome story man.

Another good video great job man

What a fantastic interview!! Thank you for documenting this.

Awsome ! Best one yet, beautifully shot and a real bit of history.

This is a documentary 🏁 long overdue, great job.

Nice.

That is AWESOME. from the UK. just brilliant.

Great story

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.
