These guys are BAD ASS. A can of WINDEX lasts them 100 times longer than its supposed to. One wipe and the entire windshield is clean. Great stuff here! Thank you!
Been a mechanic for 20 years, and all I ever got to work on was modern crap. I still have a welder and plasma cutter for my own projects. I turned my 76 stepside Silverado into as close to an old school hot rod as I could manage. Big block, 4 speed, flat black. Made my grill instead of buying one, made taillight holders. This spring I'm going to put a 57 Chevy wagon tailgate on it and do a roll pan. If I ever got any money, I'd never buy anything new.( Newest thing I own is 1999, and even it's a bit too new). I was born in the wrong time Thank you for using these cars as intended. Road zombies for life
I think its safe to say that the Shifters out in California were the original roots guys that brought back the resurgence in traditional Hot Rodding. They showed the world that Hot Rods could be built without a six digit yearly income. Older guys like Rollin Bones picked up on the trend soon after, and didn't follow the high tech Street Rod movement like their peers . This was an entertaining film, and glad its being documented.
I think you'll find the truth of the matter is that the resurgence of traditional Hot Rodding started with the Low Flyers in the UK with the ethos of building as much fun and speed as possible with as little as possible.
@@jackbmth7783 Seeing those (then kids) back in the 1980s, then exploding in the 1990s, I must respectfully disagree. Their cars weren't the only thing that was a throwback to the 1940s and 50s, they were equally as nostalgic. This is what I was referring to. It was a total lifestyle/package, and appears to be that way today.
@@jackbmth7783 and I find it confusing that Volvo powered, right hand drive, fiberglass bodies... in someway equates to "traditional Hot Rodding" ...........
The men responsible for traditional hot rodding are the guys who built these things in the 30s 40s and 50s. EVERYTHING is a copy of what they did. NO ONE born after WWII can take any credit for traditional hot rods. TF outa here with that shit yo.
I was recommended this film a while ago and finally made some time to watch it. Wow! Absolutely tremendous. Love the roadster transformation process when it goes into race mode at the flats!
One of the best car videos I've seen on You Tube. The camaraderie and the love of the sport at Bonneville is like no other place on earth. This video really captures that.
I have known about Bonneville since being a kid but have not seen anything that covered the event as well as this video. Thank you for making this video available!
Thanks for a great video.😎 Bonneville is still the bastion of homegrown racing & thanks to SCTA & USFRA the widest variety of vehicles can still be seen running on the salt. If you ever wanted to go, do it "Soon" as we are losing it at an alarming rate to Mining supported by the Bureau of Land Mismanagement for profit. Weather permitting there are 4 meets open to the public with Speed Week starting on the second weekend in August.
Wow what a great video. Traveling in convoy sure has its advantages when something goes wrong always someone to lend a helping hand. Awesome cars and fun times had by all on this road trip to Bonneville while living the dream😎👍
Really enjoyed this, my first car in the early '60s was a '57 Ford with the 312 T-Bird Special Y-block, cool to see these old odd ball engines played with...
A great movie, thank you Jennifer. But most of all, I loved the fellowship of the grey haired dudes fettling and cosseting cars much older than themselves.
One of my biggest dreams ? Driving a Car like this every day for the rest of my life ! This aint my Generation but damn that Cars are beautiful ! ❤ and respect from 🇩🇪...
This documentary is cool and interesting. I don’t think most people would call the Bonneville salt flats the birthplace of hot rodding like the description suggests. I think it was southern California and many other places across America after the 1st world war and especially after the 2nd world war.
What a well done movie, I'm about half way through. Tire failure just about has to be under inflation. And the best soap for patching leaky gas ⛽️ tanks is Fels Naptha Laundry Soap .... it's what I got my mouth washed out with as a kid
I got to go buy the largest TV screen to watch this , and have a gallon of gasoline , oil aroma to pretend I'm there , I love authentic cars and authentic music !
Great movie... thank you ✌️🙂 I was wondering why they didn't film multiple rods rolling down the highway ? It seems like that would've been the money shot for the trip !
The video is awesome! Killer rides and story. Loved it. Also loved but can't find the music that starts @15:40. Have Sound Hound and google lyrics but no dice. Can you let me know what the song and who the artist is? Thanks!
One theme I see that's consistent with my world is how crappy after market parts are these days. Such a pain in the butt to install a new part, put the rest of the engine back together only to be pulling it apart again not long after due to that new part failing.
Someone here had an original from the 50s, they were selling it for 10K, should have grabbed it, the flat head was torn apart, they were setting it up for The Race of Gentlemen, still had the original markings and stickers on it, a time capsule.
How the hell do they wash every last grain of salt off the cars after the event, so they don't rust into the ground?? I would think that salt would hide EVERYWHERE!
Pieced a model A truck together..one piece at a time..6volt..started off trying a hotrod built 390 and S10 frame but went rusty pile of parts .but original frame lined up better Poor folk jalopy Self assembled oh baby 21:28 lol

Always fun to watch these guys. RIP to Ken Schmidt, he will always be a legend.
Thanks for taking the time to watch THREE MILE.

Outstanding people building, driving and racing Outstanding cars that reflect the history of hot rodding.
Simply beautiful.

Great film.
Super fun movie. Thanks. Really enjoyed it.
ilove the rolling bones videos,bonniville is on my bucketlist.
Fantastic video, great bunch of guys who work together to be together. That's a nice brotherhood of men !
Always cool seeing these guys at boneville. You know its them when they pull up without seeing anything saying they are.
Quality sound track , most enjoyable thanks all involved
real deal, Authentic !, and the music , not too shabby either.
Really enjoyed this, my first car in the early '60s was a '57 Ford with the 312 T-Bird Special Y-block, cool to see these old odd ball engines played with...
Loved that.
What a great video, I loved it...
Amazing group, and amazing movie! Thanks for putting this out there.
Truest form of hot rodding, amazing documentary for a Gear-head guy like myself. 😊😊😊
Great video enjoyed every minute of it 👌.
Jon is a legendary guy for sure always heard about him can’t wait to meet him one day at the flats and the whole crew
I like these guy's. If it's not honest & on time, they don't have time for it...
Good memories in Wendover 76- 79.
This is great, I love it.
All of the cars are kick ass but that yellowish 3 window really turns my crank, damn.
An excellent show, thanks men 👍🏼
Awesome video
Really cool movie/documentary. Making it to the Salt Flats with my 51 Plymouth is on my bucket list
Wow,thanks guys,would like more
Great film, enjoyed it to the max. My bucket list is Bonneville, I’m just afraid I will catch salt fever.
A great movie, thank you Jennifer.
But most of all, I loved the fellowship of the grey haired dudes fettling and cosseting cars much older than themselves.
That was fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing!
One of my biggest dreams ?
Driving a Car like this every day for the rest of my life !
This aint my Generation but damn that Cars are beautiful !
❤ and respect from 🇩🇪...
The Rolling Bones cars are Wonderfull vehicles .🇬🇧
Enjoyed!!!! 👍👍

Fantastic, sure looks like fun!
Great show ! Thank you for it 👍
Well done gents,
Great movie really enjoyed it 👍
Flatties Forever!!!
great movie!
I got to go buy the largest TV screen to watch this , and have a gallon of gasoline , oil aroma to pretend I'm there , I love authentic cars and authentic music !
Don't forget salt!
Sweet freedom...don't let them take it away from us
Sweet !
Great movie... thank you ✌️🙂
I was wondering why they didn't film multiple rods rolling down the highway ?
It seems like that would've been the money shot for the trip !
DAM that was good!!!!
188 in that car is pretty crazy. Wow.
GGGRRR88T STUFF BROTHR"Z THANK$ !!! ... .. .
Ridin for the Brand. Means no crossovers. Which in turn means no cheavy engine in a FORD. PERIOD!
UNLESS...... U WANT IT TO GO FAST
@@helpfullhand-ub3hc tell Bob Glidden that.
Tech guy at Bonneville is a Geordie!
greatr
Awesome vid👍
RIP Ron Hickman.
RIP Joe Didio.
How cool was that trip,maybe we can a trip sorta like that haha be fun! 18:10
The video is awesome! Killer rides and story. Loved it. Also loved but can't find the music that starts @15:40. Have Sound Hound and google lyrics but no dice. Can you let me know what the song and who the artist is? Thanks!
The band is called the TELLTALE SIGNS. The singer/guitar player is hot rod builder Andy Koehler.
Everyone should go to Speed Week at least once in their life
One theme I see that's consistent with my world is how crappy after market parts are these days. Such a pain in the butt to install a new part, put the rest of the engine back together only to be pulling it apart again not long after due to that new part failing.
this is so cool..."i'm salivatin' like Pavlov's dog" for one of these cars. Anyone know the name of the Rolling Stones-sounding song at 6:00?
Does Brian know you have posted this?
What’s the song at 5:44?
What's the grill on that Ford pickup at 30:05? Upsidedown 61 Chrysler or something like that? Looks pretty dang good

Good Rods are nice, but if you break a valve stem or valve spring and break a piston the rod may come out the side of the block..
24:30 Denver Detonators
these guys need to do a drag and drive event like dragweek,
How the hell do they wash every last grain of salt off the cars after the event, so they don't rust into the ground?? I would think that salt would hide EVERYWHERE!
Jack stands and a lawn sprinkler.
Say you guys, where are the vintage trucks and campers!! Can't be using that new junk to pull the parts van!
So what's the trick to keeping the salt from destroying your car?
Pieced a model A truck together..one piece at a time..6volt..started off trying a hotrod built 390 and S10 frame but went rusty pile of parts .but original frame lined up better
Poor folk jalopy
Self assembled oh baby
21:28 lol
When the boys at Vitton Motors get my engine done , we will show them what's what .
Killer.
Loved the film. Hated the "music". Awesome cars fellas.
Apparently this is an hour long commercial.😢
Great film and especially the comments by the participants. The music is OK but the singing sucked
Should have run a real generator with a regulator instead of the fake power gen. Just say no to one wire alternators.
Why?
