Johnny Martinez's 1929 Ford Model A pickup was a winner at the 2013 Grand National Roadster Show, but the road there wasn't easy.
John recounts the story behind his prized hot rod, starting as a kid admiring the work of a local mechanic and hot rodder named Bob Grossi and ending with a 17-year build process that would take him to the Grand Nationals.

I use to work at Bobs shop, I started hanging around 1987 when I was 11 years old and he managed to teach me a lot about cars as well as a lot about life in general. You may have seen me around his house working or with him at another shop. I generally picked up or delivered customers cars with him. As Bob once said to me " Life is like a canoe and everyone has a ore, but every once in awhile somebodies going to use that ore and be a fucking stroke" He hated when people flaked or kept him waiting.

I also put my project on the back burner for many years to raise a family and help with my mom after she was diagnosed. I never lost the vision of how I wanted to finish it and finally completed it last June. Check out my build on youtube (65 Tempest Restoration). I'm glad to hear your wife and yourself are well. I enjoyed watching and can relate with your story. Thanks for sharing it. "Keep on truckin"

I'm glad that the Shifters of Southern California coined the phrase Rat Rod, built traditional Rods that lacked certain elements such as paint and/or upholstery. This was in the early 1990s, but unfortunately the movement has morphed in to something totally different. Is refreshing to see something suede but traditional. Neat Pickup

Sorry, but you're still as wrong as you were saying this at the top. I'm also doing one of these and I can say from experience "it's harder to do a hot rod (from a "real old car", that is) because it involves "restoration", engineering, fabrication, trial and error, and often doing things more than once to get it right. Original simply involves one thing___ Restoration.
@jayskinner4828
@jayskinner4828 9 жыл бұрын
Pappa Bob Sorry, I do not agree. Its not about what is harder or involves more work. Original is best unless it was a piece of junk in the beginning. To restore an antique to show room condition also takes allot of time, money and fabrication.

Jay Street Rods are harder to build then original I have both. My 1934 Chevy Sedan had good wood. I replaced cloth interior. Car not worth what I have in it original down to bird radiator cap. I bought E-bay action .8000. In my case my coupe was a much harder project with AC loaded car. Tight fit every thing . That car gave me heart burn a few times.

I prefer stock originals as well, but this is a hot rod even I could appreciate. Kudos to him for keeping the fenders and hood intact. Very tastefully done, I think fender-less cars or cars with rubber outside of the fender well are very uncool (besides being illegal in California). Look at how much better this looks! This is truly an old school hot rod with class. A breath of fresh air. Not easy making aftermarket parts work without ending up with a bucket of bolts. Safe to assume the judges at the Grand Nationals went over every detail with a microscope. You just can't even place in a competition like that with anything slopped on. This car probably received extra scrutiny.

Lot of fender less hi boy's in California for being illegal. That trucks a street rod. Not same class as original. My fender car 34 sedan original [paint}would be sold before my 3 window fender less coupe. It rides much better AC etc.

Cops just don't write fender tickets that often, but it is a law on the books. It causes spatter to get on other cars, that's why it's illegal. I'll never understand why someone would want to run a car without fenders anyway, it looks incomplete if you ask me. Don't you get tired of cleaning the road grime off the side? Fenders serve a purpose. Front license plate is another law that isn't enforced often.
