Thank you for a good video. It's not all that easy to see how it all adds up to a considerable amount of money. My first rod cost me 8000 euros to build ( in northern Europe), thats probably around 10,000 Canadian. The body, frame, engine and transmission cost just 17% of the total. I didn't see that coming. On the other hand, the costs were spread over five years, so it was manageable. In any case, do build a rod! it's immensely rewarding and fun.
And a fine job you have done Scott, congratulations! A description of the journey to put it all together is hard to put words to, at 69 years old I feel like I'm 18 again when I get in the shop, turn up the music, and get to work.
I really enjoyed seeing a breakdown of the build. I am doing my first hot rod and am learning it ads up quick. I am trying to keep under $10,000. I think I can do it but it might not be as nice as your Chevy Coupe. Keep up the great work, I am addicted to your videos!
@@ScottRods Yes it does, and I joined the group on facebook awhile ago I just don't really use facebook much so it might take me a minute to figure out how to upload pictures but I will go try.
My first hot rod I bought back in 1965. I paid $20.00 for a 1940 Chevy coupe with no engine or transmission. I put it together with my brother using junkyard parts.Chevy 265 angine, 3 speed stick transmission 55 chevy rear and wired it for 12 volts. It cost about $200 dollars back then. We needed a car to drive to tech school 12 miles away. Tech school was great, lots of good cheap parts were available from other students, one of them had a father who owned a junkyard, and got to be good friends with him..parts were cheap! Most important is the paperwork with proper VIN. Building your first hot rod is an experience indeed and helping hands are hard to find sometimes.
@@ScottRods I'm now working on my second 40 Chevy I paid $14,000 for It 4 years ago and it needs work. Since my first 40 chevy I had over 20 hot rod cars. Great video you have here for first time hot rod builders starting out.
Not bad , I got over 30k in my 36 Chevy coupe. Yeah I know the $ 15k in the engine and 5 speed trans was a good part of it, but I was to build it for someone else I would be charging them $50k for the car

Nice video! Very helpful
I really like the videos of the Crown Vic narrowing and install . Always nice to see pieces come together to make a ride !
Thanks. It was difficult, but the end result is well worth it. I would do it again on future projects.
excellent results for your efforts and expenses ,,well done !
Good info 👍
And now it’s priceless!!!!!!!! And goes great too!!!!!
It really does go great. I need to make more exterior videos, I love that sound.
@@ScottRods the doppler effect makes it sound even better.

Nice job breaking it all down. But it is hard to put a price on having fun driving a hot rod.
I don't drink, gamble or do drugs, this is my vice. Might be cheaper taking up drinking hehehe.
@@ScottRods hey, same with me, my vice to !😁

you need a whole lot of friends and encouragement to keep the ball rolling.... one day you get 1 thing done
Dave it’s the journey that made us compadres from different Madres 😎
I’ve got to avoid calculating costs if I ever hope to sleep again Thanks

@@coreybeymer1707 Cool, does that have the slopey back?
You should get on the facebook group and throw on some pictures. People would like to see that.
@@ScottRods Yes it does, and I joined the group on facebook awhile ago I just don't really use facebook much so it might take me a minute to figure out how to upload pictures but I will go try.
it is amazing how fast it adds up I am afraid to to add mine up until it is done great job Dave
Ive sure enjoyed watching your progress so far.
Good video Dave. When you start body work and paint those cost will give you a coronary
hahaha, I know.
Dave, I think that you did great keeping costs down. I would have guessed that in Canada would have been way more$$$. Keep up the good work
Good video Dave amazing how close our costs are on the projects.
You got a cool accent pal 💪🏻🇨🇦
I want to build my first Hot Rod! If only there were some videos I could watch.

you probably spent 9470.00 on grinding and cutting discs alone.
Oh yes, that figure does not include any tools or disposables.
how much is that per BRACKET?
Not all brackets are created equal.

I like your car but the front and rear are both way too wide.
ummmm, I didn't make it, blame Chevy, hehehe.
I LOVE you, dude, but DOORS (Finish that shit)! Cheers.
hahahaha
It's kinda like that old saying Speed Cost's How Fast Do You Want To Go.? About $200.00 Please.
hahaha, so true
@@ScottRods But as we all know it's really about the decals because decals add horsepower. lol.

@@ScottRods So Ture So True.

Great job Ted!
Yes indeed.
haha now I can retire from competition.
@@ted5415 🤣🤣🤣
