      Imakulate agreed. I’m trying to outsource some custom fabrication and I’m going to build a 1/10 scale similar to that truck using a Power wagon body.

    Thank you Mr Chen for bringing us the the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes.
    I love both rat rods, and Ultra 4's, and great fabrication.
    Thank you Mr Chen for taking the time to give us these perfectly photographed glimpses of automotive hope.
    And to the builder: You are right to be proud, this is awesome!

    As someone who has followed speedhunters for like 10 years, and watching pretty much exclusively car content on youtube/instagram etc, I dont say this lightly - This is probably the coolest build/car/truck I have ever seen. The mix of old and new is insane, and I want it.

    This is one of the coolest uses for a diamond T I have ever seen. Steve Darnell did one that was pretty badass, but I think this might Trump his. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal and I love the function over form. I can't believe the way the cab is sealed and keeping as much dust out as it does what a spectacular build and I am so impressed.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍😄

    • @viperfritz4618
      @viperfritz4618 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nathan matas, Steve Darnell has built more than one Diamond T. Checkout his TH-cam channel from the days before Vegas Rat Rods even started...he sure knows how to build them right. I agree with you, too, this one is also phenomenal.

    If it hasn’t happened already, someone is going to offer him an ABSOLUTELY OBSCENE amount of fun tickets for that super-functional work of art. There are “custom” builders getting 150k-250k for vehicles that don’t come anywhere close to this level of imagineering, execution, performance, and jaw dropping cool factor. If I hit the lottery today I would make an offer SO stupid...... well, you get the picture.

Also just to note that Fab Fours has a truck called Kymera, I watch Tim build the entire Kymera. Tim chopped the top, built the chassis, fitted the engine and drive train, wired it the whole nine yards but fab fours says “ yeah we built this blablabla but I am an eye witness to Tim Odell making all the parts for the Kymera and building it.
