HOT RODS AND HISTORY: RUNNING LIQUOR AND FINDING GOD
In this video we take a look at how one man's quest to make a living out of running moonshine, leads to his salvation. Which in turn, leads to him preserving his car which serves as a reminder of his dark past, which kept him on the straight and narrow path to God. This 1947 Ford Sedan ran moonshine from the 40's to the late 50's. You can see the secret compartments and bullet holes that show a history of bootleggers car.

We take a deep dive into the history and ingenuity of the Rassey Family and their contributions to Indy racing, including but not limited to the Thimble car and Quarter Midgets. The Rassey workshop is a lost piece of history stuck in time. We want to thank Rassey for taking the time to let us explore his workshop, and tell us the history of this incredible place. Please be respectful to Rassey ...

    This is hard to see. I am kind of a history nerd you could say. I love history and hotrods. Any kind of car, i dont care. But they are pushing us out of the hotrod and racings scene. They are trying to stop it like they did back then. Except now they have more power because we let them do it to us. People will protest about stuff happening on other countries but they wont for things here that are important. People are just misguided and dont have a clue about anything. Sad to see the old shop go. Millions inventory i bet.

    This guy will put a broken torque converter back in the box and sell it to you swearing that it's a brand new. Then when you try to return it he'll scream that you f***** it up. Leonard is a true Michigan scumbag.

    Hello, can you please clarify the phone number at the end? I’ve been getting voicemails in response to your video trying to reach Leonard’s shop because they are reading this number wrong. The 7’s and 1’s are indistinguishable

    Reminds me of a starter generator rebuilder near my home, just a path thru piles and piles of old starters, generators, alternators etc, not a flat level surface anyplace, you can walk in and ask for literally anything and he will go to a pile stick his hand in it and pull out exactly what you asked for, he knos where everything is in what appears to be an absolute mess to anyone else

  • @mrgreezy1
    @mrgreezy1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There is absolutely no way there is any accuracy in knowing what is on hand and what isn’t.. the lack of organization proves it. You could employ 20 people cataloging and selling parts for years and not even scratch what’s in that building… this is just a hoarding situation absolutely. 💯 always cool to see vintage stuff tho !!!

    • @WudYuRather
      @WudYuRather 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nah you ask leonard about something you need and he can easily point you too a shelf too find several of what your looking for! He used too supply like autozone and a few other parts stores back in the day.
