Stalking the local CAT service manager??? This guy is a genius!!! Great build.
It’s simple it’s not what you know!
It’s who you know that gets the job done.
The expert that allows you to pick their brains to make something Cool is the best.
And now I want to stalk This guy! Lol
the world would be a happier place if more people like this guy were around
Amen.....
Doesn't count, he's Canadian! 😁 J/k, Rich seems like a good dude. 👍
@@jedclampett6466 I'll gladly second that amen brother!
@@danf4616 The car is flying an American flag, so.....
It can be seen clearly during the road trip at 14:10
The whirled would be happier with design plans and parts lists
This guy has been my best friend for 25 years and the only thing cooler than the buggy is being friends with a dude like snap. Im glad everyone loves the buggy ... the guy that built it is equally worth the love. If only we were smarter and recorded all the dumb shenanigans we have done... lol. Looking forward to many more trips. Lsfest comes soon enough.
I have seen a lot of hot rod builds in my day but this one is just made it into the top three just laying eyes onto it. My hat is off and just crazy mad respect for such a build like this.
which are the others? got links?
I can’t decide which is better, the buggy or how much fun “Snapper” had talking about it, building it, and owning it. Bravo!
It needs an "Aaaa OoooGah" horn.
This is hot rodding! A regular guy builds a really cool car because he wants to. No drama, just awesome!
As a trucker/owner operator for 24 years with Cat power under the hood....that might be the coolest ride I've ever seen!!
10 years. For ten years this guy has owned, worked on, cursed at, and lived with this beast and yet still reverts back to a little kid when he talks about it. I hope nothing more than for him to have that same unbridled enthusiasm tens years from now.
"I built it because I wanted to drive it" literally the heart and soul of the automotive obsession, he's built one sweet rig, and it's hilarious that it's got air brakes that actually worm
That is one of the coolest rigs, maybe the coolest rig I've ever seen. Thanks for the video!
That is hands-down the coolest build I have ever seen. I'm sick of all the stereotypical rat rods and the same thing everyone does over and over. I don't think I will ever see another build cooler than this nice job dude!
Excellent! You've done a terrific job, just so good. Love the C series loader styled radiator cowling.
If you do another, maybe don't use the C15 as it makes its power at higher revs & it won't like what you'll be asking of it. Use the C16 instead, its much more tractable, its power is all off the bottom.
BTW, I'm in Western Australia & retired now, but lifelong Cat fan, 3406B & 3408B to E's & right on through to C15 & C16 NZs. I ran Cat powered roadtrains out to our remote desert mines pulling triple & quad trailer configurations. Huge KW fan too, started with the W model (Aust built version of your A's) & finished with the T904s our version of your W900, but the cabs are raised apx 18 inches so consequently the bonnets are commensurately tall. This is to house the additional cooling capacity required, anyway the last model to be fitted with Cats before they were withdrawn from the market. I don't know why I'm telling you all this, but the thing is, check the C16, its a much better fit for what you want to do.
Yay, another Sandgroper!
Pilbara boy, this guy trucks.
And you never really leave the Pilbara. You just bring it home with you and keep finding bits of it years later..
@@promethbastard How profoundly true, after 3 & 1/2 decades I thought that's it, I'm never going back, but I do miss it. Mind you the East Pilbara in summer is something else again.
Snapper's project is a treat, isn't it?
@@returnofthenative Travelling through Mulga Downs with 1' of water covering the entire plain is something I've never forgotten, along with Karijini, and Henderson Gorge. Such a beautiful place.
And he's a fellow "Yinzer" a "'Burgher" to boot! Awesome vehicle, awesome build! Love it!
Excellent build. Very unique. Looks great!
This guy's a RIOT! One of the best interviews you've done. Great guy and great car
Coolest hotrod ever with an awesome owner.
Speachless! Perfection!
I love every single bit of this thing! ZERO Complaints... just blown away!
We have seen these kinda builds before, but this might be the best one yet.
I think what makes these extra cool is they are so similar to how things where done 80 - 100 years ago, and its probably my favorite era of cars, and I love trucks, so its the best of both worlds for me!
The only complaint is it isn't in your driveway.😂
That’s the coolest ride I’ve seen in a LONG time. And love all that turbo whistle !
And the jake brake.
What a super cool idea to put together. This is the essence of hot rod right there. I admire his attention to getting all the details right and really pulling this off 110%
This is quite possibly the coolest rat rod I've ever seen, its so well done and all done by hand, I love that it still has an eaton trans and a Jake brake that works. This guy needs to be seriously proud of what he built
Way to nice to call it a Rat Rod! 99 percent of them are junk. This is a True custom Hot Rod. Well built.
The ass-end of a loader, meeting you going down the highway... I wondered why that grille seemed so familiar! Super build.
That man deserves all the credits. It is truly a wonderful build. It is so well done that you would almost think that it is an original vehicle. And I really love the blend with old and new. It is done with good taste. Big 👍
So the guy with a square body tank does a story on a guy with a CAT powered Studebaker. Perfect! 🤘🤘🤘
For a non-car guy at the time of this build, he knocked it out of the park! What an imagination and love for an idea - great build! Nice one Rich, "If I break it, I get to buy it!"
What a cool build, I bet it gets as many smiles and waves as anything on the road!! I love how he used the ass end out of a pay loader as the front of the car, I seen that right away 👍
Radiator cowling doubles as a bumper 😎👍
Awesome build
Not easy first time shifting lol
Really enjoyed watching
With air ride, could make it a cow catcher also.
Love how he did it.
He had no idea about engines he found a way to fix that.
He didn’t know how he just worked out a way to make it possible.
That’s the way to go.
Definitely in the top five epic builds that i have ever seen, props to that totally rad dude, for not even limiting himself to thinking outside of a box. Y'all take care.
I’m a truck driver 45 years I would so drive that thing every day it is amazing what that man has done
That moment when you see yourself in one of your favorite TH-camrs videos..
Wow, thats a very fun man, i really like the way he explains all, he deserves all the fun he can have in that beautiful Hot Rod.
Nice work documenting this
Can’t believe he didn’t name it Cat Rod, great project.
Looks like something the Blastolene Brothers would build. Such a cool rig.
This guy is Awesome, what a cool guy to allow him to drive and talk all day
That thing is beastly!!! Poor guy had to learn to rev match... Still worth it!!!
That is a fantastic build. He's an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
That CAT wheel loader grill is a classic touch !
Watched this for years.
COOL CAT!!!
High Five Buddy. That's the coolest damn thing I've seen in a long time.
This is low key the coolest build I have ever seen!
This car is so simple and yet so unique. It's like "why didn't I think of that..."
That is a genuine work of art, so very cool and unique. OK Rich, when will you build something similar?
Such an amazing build, and all in 9 months, what an effort, what a machine
He was right on you when you tried the "I break it I buy it" trick 🤣
The only open wheel hot rod that tows a backhoe on a trailer.... cooooool
This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen on TH-cam
holy crap that entire thing is a heavy diesel wet dream
'39 Studiecat with a mean growl😎😎😎😎😎
AWESOME!!!
THNX👍💪🍻🦅🦅🦅🦅
It doesn’t get any better than this one!
Nice ride. Just leave it in the high side. Start off in 6th and float the gears till you need to stop. Good video.
Right!? 😂 I’m a truck driver and I drive a 10 speed and can start in 6th bob tail
This is 100% a great idea.
This is one of the coolest builds I have ever seen. The attention this thing gets is so funny!
Definitely one of the coolest builds I've seen in a long time. Years ago I drove a late 90s Western Star dump truck with a Caterpillar C12 and an Eaton Fuller 18 speed. Based on tread width and axle spread gross max weight was 103,200 with the four axle pup trailer. One of my all time favorite engine transmission setup, was a little underpowered at max weight, but truck only and no pup trailer, it was perfect. Cheers.
Wow, did you pick THE perfect rod/truck/car to review on your channel this time. What a cool build and video. Thanks, this was awesome in every sense of the word...
I like this guy. I wish I wasn't working today id like to go see it.
If you read this.
You did a really nice job good work!
SNAPPER'S BUGGY! Used to look up as many videos as I could find on this thing. I wish I could build and/or own something like that!
I would drive that CAT everyday, I absolutely love it. 👍👍👍 Good to see Jared and Tavarish as well.
I would daily drive the heck out of this awesome build too cool 😎 👍
Awesome build and story and from my hometown!! How did I never see this? Now I have to see it in person!
You should make you own version of this, would be so epic.
Smart, fun guy. Awesome build! The desiel engine with turbo. So distinctive!
That was one of the coolest rides I've seen in a long time. Having owned one I especially like the Studebaker part, mine was a bullet nose.
Hi from uk Rich 👋👍 I thought you had build some crazy machines and done some sustainable swaps but this is a absolute beast of a machine and very well thought out project with the help from the cat man in a t shirt 👌🤣 I couldn't help notice tho after missing the gears you came back as a rear passenger 🤣🙈 when you said "" oh am sorry ": it was like you where hurting inside. But great build and well done that man it looks sweet 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
Finding the CAT guy in a bar and getting him to help. What great story. You car people are amazing.
10 years? how is that thing not been all over the internet? it is frigging awsome. i would drink a beer with that guy anyday.
Hats off to this man , by far one of the coolest builds I have ever seen
This is exactly what hotrodding is about! Awesome rig!!
I love this thing. But the grill takes the cake. It looks so good. Really cool.
Absolutely love that, and the fact that the builder basically had no idea what he was doing!! That makes it so much better! I remember that Monster Garage episode...I was like 17...I thought that was SO COOL with the engine being most of the frame and body.
It would have been hard for me to let that dude drive my machine, especially after seeing he couldn't float the gears in a synchronized transmission. Personally from experience I would have geared it lower to let the engine work at about 1800 and still got excellent fuel mileage. Perfect build, would love to build one myself, you've got me thinking now. Lol
What a RIG! He did a awesome job all the way around on that thing! Such a cool piece of art!
this is really cool, he needs to be on the channel again! this was an awesome video!! Thanks keep up the great content
love it.. he did a great job on that build..
Actually this is a fairly easy, straight forward build. But that's what I love about it. No unnecessary bull..... 👍👍👍
That comment reminds me of when you are removing concrete for a day and someone comes for the last two minutes and says "wow, that went super easy didn't it?"
@@DEBOSSGARAGE I was afraid someone might get my comment wrong.
English is not my native language and I might've expressed myself a little bit wrong.
I meant that "all it took" was a donor truck, some shortening of the frame and a bodyshell from a Studebaker. Instead of building everything from scratch.
I'm sure that it was plenty of work ( especially in a 2 car garage ) and took some ingenuity. After all it turned out to be pretty damn awesome.
By no means did I intend to disrespect the vehicle nor the owner / builder or doubt that it was a lot of work.
If it was taken as disrespectful, I apologize.
Greetings from Germany
Thats a Sweet Ride. And its only an Hour North from Me...Thats Awesome. Great Video...
the background music of tires ripping constantly is epic !! amazing build, well done !!
If you're gonna make something, you wanna make it your own, unique, and this is that 110%. It's fantastic.
That is by far the coolest ride I have ever seen, it is unique and great looking "Snapper" did a great job putting the beast together. Thanks for sharing.
Holy crap I remember seeing the older videos on that build a long time ago!!!!
This is exactly the content many here want to see.
This is what i thought you would build... Pure Genuis
You did a fine job!! I was a cat mechanic for 42 years..
One unique and awesome build thanks for the video
Like the capture of Finigan's daytona in the drive by.
Love seeing finegans new ramp truck purchase
I’m from Pittsburgh PA so I think I’m gonna go stalk the owner like he did the service manager 😆😆😆 would love to see this rig in person!
You remind me of Jerry Reed when it comes to shifting gears in this one! But thanks for posting this one is AWESOME!
The engine, the CAT headlights and grill are just plain great.
This has to be one of the coolest studebaker that I’ve ever seen, such a privilege for you to be able drive it Rich 🤘🏻
That hot rod is so cool .
Love it .
Turbo needs t51r mod! It's so funny because the sound is 100% one of my International 9200i, but then it looks like this. Awesome build!
You did an awesome job on this!! I think it would be cool if you were to find a 1928 school bus and convert it to a bumper pull camper to pull to events.
Perhaps one of the coolest rides I’ve seen someone construct. He gets a well done from me.
YES DEBOSS Saturday Baby!!! Once again thanks Aaron and Rich!!! ♥️ From Vancouver Island BC
I love how he corrected u on the "if I break it I get to buy it" he said hell naw "if u break it u get to fix it lol"🤣🤣🤣😭🤣
Saw this in person at a show in Harmony, PA. Very impressive!
I love it! I would have had to go with a 6-71 just for the classic sound for a classic ride!
Those steps look like they could be good fuel cells on the side awesome man! Nothing beats an in-line six no matter what is burning
Wow it just takes a little imagination and time, that thing is badass
