I sort out the radiator and start up the engine again to check for leaks. Then the Budget Rat Truck rolls out of the shop under its own power for the first time since the build was started! We even go for a short first test drive. Very short...

I like how you show what regular guys' shops are like. Not everything goes smoothly, and slick. Dead battery, low tire. Reminds me of my shop. Very real and fun to be a part of your adventures. I just acquired a 1957 Ford station wagon that has a future of becoming my first rat rod at the tender age of 72, me, not the station wagon. Old people rule. 😊

once i fixed an aluminum cored radiator by cutting out about one inch (25 mm) of reed , flaring each end open slightly , cleaning inside (briefly) w/muriatic acid , rinsed and dried completely , injected a liquid epoxy , then folded/crimped each end w/needle nose pliers . local radiator shop had told me they couldn't repair aluminum , but this worked . btw , knew a guy w/a sedan delivery with nearly the same grille as your truck . he bought a second bottom grille bar , flipped it and fastened to already existing bottom bar . made a nice completion of the grille . i seem to remember that he even welded a flat piece of steel , at an angle , to the added bar , for a chin spoiler . painted it all w/black crinkle paint , looked good on his orange car .

I love your work and your ideas. I'm just an RC model builder, but I put the same love and effort into my models as you do. I'm also very connected to the rat rod scene and live it out in model building, unfortunately, but not in real life Size also in real rat rods because I don't have the money and the space. In addition, the Tüv wouldn't play along here anyway. I love the rat rod theme because everyone is welcome here and it's not about how much money you have but wivil creativity .Furthermore, it is also sustainable from various cars and share something new to build. I wish you always a good success and good people in your life. Greetings Michael from Germany

Jeez, the sound of that 4 banger is strange in my ears! Maybe a muffler will ease the pain a little😅 I'm used to straight 6, V6, V8. The name is a great suggestion. Will add it to the list to ponder...

4 banger kinda yelps like a small dog where a 6 cylinder, v6, v8 growls like a junkyard dog

Duff….make sure you never leave any anti-freeze laying around to where a dog or cat can drink it as it will kill them grave yard dead…they like it because it is sweet. We lost a cat because of my negligence several years ago.

One of my distant relatives (years ago) committed suicide by drinking antifreeze. By all accounts its not a 'good way' to top yourself.
