I Built My Own 1930's Race Car | RIDICULOUS RIDES

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft Cars: goo.gl/vbKSU2
FRANS has always been a huge fan of the old IndyCar race cars - so he decided to take inspiration from them and create his very own dream motor. Finding a 1930's Nash 88 car online, he shipped it to the Netherlands from North Carolina - and then dedicated four years to transforming it. Naming it Dutchie after his own Dutch heritage, he kept the car's original engine, gearbox and drivetrain as they were, but the design and body of the ride were all down to Frans. He explained: "I didn't want to make a replica - it had to be mine." Getting a metal artist on board, he whipped up his motor into this bold cruiser which pays tribute to the vintage era of car racing. Speaking about using his beloved creation, Frans said: "I use the car when I'm in a good mood and that's quite often. Most people smile and ask what's that. They're surprised that I built it myself. People like it and I like it."

The idea of building what is expensive is a great one.

Best to you Scott 🏁

Very cool! Love the front end! The paint is great too!! I say make it easy and quick, it's going to get scratched anyways!! 2 criticisms. The fenders. The fronts should be lower in back. It will help cut down on crud flying into drivers face. There should be rear fenders to prevent the same crud being thrown on the car behind. The wheels are slightly proportioned too small. Looks like a real fun ride!!
