Nice. Again, I love it when things just fall together. Ride the wave while you’ve got that mojo working!! She may earn her name if she keeps falling together like this. She’s looking great. Thanks for the ride and the good fun. 👍
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). Maaaan, I simply love this conglomerate of used/old parts. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Greetings from the US. Thanks for the show! It really makes a difference for me when you make a model of it and then show the steps. I really appreciate the lessons in the differences in language, too.
I Put a Studebaker truck body on a Chevy S10 chassi. Dropped an old mid '60s inline six in it. It has an Oldsmobile Rocket 88 Dash cluster, '53 chevy Belair tail lights, and Nissa seats. No Fear! Great job man!
Div, WOW, that came out truly awesome. I love the surgery bits. Keeping you away from the pub is working...more content for us. You must get yourself some "TEK" screws. Awesome for holding things together when mocking up. Would be great to see more the truck from a little distance away to get a feel for the entire look. Great job once again. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks brother! Got some of those TEK screws, but sometimes I prefer a M4 bolt and nut. If you do many fittings, the TEK screw thread strips on thin metal.
A few dodge parts and you will have a real masterpiece when your done!!! If cars were built like this a long time ago, they would still be on the road instead of all the plastic junk today!!! You are a true artist my friend!!! Thank you for sharing this bro!!!
Diff, you are a special guy, man. And I love the channel. Can definitely see how much work it is, and the filming and editing only add to it. But I can tell you the work pays off on this end. It’s great stuff. And the work is MUCH appreciated. Thank you! 😊👍👍
Your projects and videos are great love them….half ass customs got me here,,,the more different cars and trucks in one project the better,,, keep it up sir
Wow Divman. I love what you are doing here. Don't concern yourself with what other people are going to think about one of your original designs. I and many other people are enjoying the hell out of this. Just stay healthy and enjoy what you're doing. Rich in NJ/USA.
No rules in Rat Rat Bro. Use as many makes and models as it takes. The most important make and model is one having the vin. tag ! (arguably) One of the first rat rods was the Beverly Hillbillies truck from the American TV series . It wasn't actually a truck at all by what was left of a 1927 Oldsmobile. Tremendous amount of work in this video ! Good Job !!!!!!!!
Agree man! One of the first definitions for me is to build with a collection of junk yard parts. Not buy and bolt on! Interesting info on the Beverly Hillbillies truck, going to google that! A LOT of work yes, only hands on guys like you will know...
Div!! Enjoyed your process working through joining the bug fender and the bedside off the ford! Great teaching with your jig in the vice on the curves to get the fitment you want with the desired angle in mind!! Have a lekka one!!!!
perhaps fill the cove down the bed sides with nice wood?? or with painted patterns, then you'd want to put some up front.. cover with a bracket to hold pipes as work truck? Sides may look better after looking at it a week.. Fun watching you think, cut, weld, smile...
Love the way you walk thru your steps of metal forming Duff. I enjoy seeing you recycle old parts ( Ford or not ) haha Always learn from your videos man Keep up the good work !
Cheers from Alaska. Cut a piece of exhaust tubing the diameter of that contour in half and weld it down both sides. It will match bottom you made and make the Ford side unrecognizable. Could even hinge caps on end and store fishing poles in it. Lol. Put tail lights in it even.
@@ratrodsafrica It would not make the Ford side unrecognizable. It would just make it look like the older version ( a bumpside). But the fishing pole storage idea is great.
Looking good Diff. You could make a rebar framework to mount rear light to mask over pie cuts.. then let it rust.. maybe needs a topper on bed. Framework with pallet wood instead of canvas. Removable if needed. Job looking a good one Diff. Coming along nice. Maybe name it the mongrel. Lol. Wheels are ugly. I made up some moon disks in black for my ride. On my 89 Saab 900. Have a good week Diff. Adios
I've seen it before and it usually looks really cool, use the rear quarters from an old 50s car that has tail fins! Maybe in the next build???????? :D Looking good so far!!
I think your chevronisforbug is a beauty. If money was no object maybe it would be a different build but for most of us money matters . Keep up the good work. You got this!👍🇨🇦
Wow!. I never thought you could work around them headlight holes. But you did and it looks tickerdy boo and no mistaking. Well done Dif 😎 P.s I got an engine and semi automatic 3 speed gearbox i can donate seems your on such a tight budget. You can run 3 on the tree brother!. It's out of a Honda C90 chicken chaser. You may have to gear it down a tad if I'm honest, plus acceleration may be a bit steady'ish, but you'd get there eventually. Let me know!! 😎
Thanks man! I learned a new saying: tickerdy boo!😂 Dude, really appreciate the offer, but I'm in Mossel Bay in South Africa! Might be a bit of an issue to get it here...
Fantastic build ! I love watching it come together. Funny, I would only say that who is to decide that both sides have to be symetrical? If you are happy with the results, that's what matters.
Don't question what your mind wants to create. If you are happy with the end result and nobody gets physically hurt in the process just go for it. Just live out your dream man.
I'm my own worst enemy dude! But the only one getting physically hurt occasionally is me 😂
This is the way to build a one of a kind truck,Looks Great..........................................Fort Worth,Tx
Thank you Wayne from Texas! Yes man, just bolting performance parts together I'd boring!😅
No mask Biff!!! Love the way your creative mind works.
My brother-in-law and I built a 62 Ford and put a 350 Chevrolet engine in it and it ran great 👍
Looks great. Nicely done.
Thank you very much!
Noooo! I just binge watched your videos and came to the end. Now I will have to be patient until your next one. Thanks from southern Arizona USA.
😁Thanks Nick. I try to post videos every Wednesday and Sunday
Great technique using the block of wood to scribe along the fender to get the curve you needed.
Absolutely loving how this build is coming together
Much respect
Thank you my brother!
The new bed side and rear fender looks great .👍
Thanks Chris
There use to cars sold my factory, they where called AMC , lol I miss that
Delighted I came across your channel.
Thank you Aaron. Welcome to my shop!

Hello Div, Really taking shape, I like it. Its not a Chevy, Ford, or Volkswagen, it's a Div Rat Rod. Keep up the great job. 👍 👍👍

Really like the way it's coming together and for all those people that always talk about recycling well you know how to recycle
This is a great build...Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man!
Pure genius 🇬🇧🥇🧐🔥so interesting to watch you .
Thank you brother!
It dosent mater if it's ford ,or chev or VW metal dosent know what car it is, it's looking great, all the best to you and your loved ones Lekka

Dankie! Thank you!
Boet!!!!!! Excited for this one!
Man I love that 51 pickup. Gosh I love that tow truck also. I enjoyed riding in it. So Cool!
Thanks bro!
@@ratrodsafrica You're very welcome. Sit.
I like how it looks almost like a dually bed with those fenders. I think after it gets sorted out it will look great. 👌 👍
Thanks bro! Let's see how it turns out...
Coming along nicely Div . You could name it "Frankentruck " 👍
😅
Hi Duff! Great content attitude creativity etc!!
Thanks Dave!
You mention "forrest engineering" a lot lately, makes me think of what we can "shade tree mechanics" in my area.
Nothing necessarily wrong with shade tree mechanizing!😂
It's coming along nicely and looking good 👍👍🇨🇱
Thank you Shane
Great Video!
Thanks!
She is coming around! Like the combo truck..
Thanks Doc! Not everyone's cup of tea 😅
Im super impressed with those fenders. They turned out fantastic!! Great work Diff!!
Thank you very much!😊
Love the ingenuity, the fabrication skills and your way of thinking outside the box!! I think you have built a true Hybrid 👍
Thanks brother. Definitely a hybrid, if nothing else😅
And a bad ass ride!!
Great video.
Thank you!
Your projects and videos are great love them….half ass customs got me here,,,the more different cars and trucks in one project the better,,, keep it up sir
Thank you Mike! And welcome brother!
Looks awsome
Thanks bro!
I see now how important the bed hight . Got keep them lines
I love this guy, he is so damn hilarious. I wonder what Uncle Henry would say. Classic.
I suggest cutting that indent out and dropping down to eliminate it all together. USA Rat Rod Shop! Oregon. The rest looks good.
Yes, many guys feel that way. But I wanna try something different. If it doesnt work, easy to cut int down😅 Greetings to Oregon!
Another great video, Diff.
Keep them coming.
Wish you were closer to Durbs so that I could watch you work, and maybe help.
Maybe one day!

Hey Rich! Thanks brother. Oh I'm too old now to give a single damn about what people think😂
That is so much talent in you. Fantastic job
Thank you Mike!
That made a nice looking rear fender.
I think so too! Thanks!
Looks ok .try splitting the front bumper in half left to right add 5" back make it toller cool truck
Thanks man. I don't have the front bumper...
Really liked how you made the beetle fender work great job
Thank you!
Lovin the vids mate. I look forward to them coz I know they are always good. I hit like before I even watch em.
Thanks brother!
Truck is looking good Diff. Good job.
Thanks Glen
Hi Oom Diff. May be you should cut the back ligths and sides of the Ford and build the tailgate around that. My 2c. Thankx Oom. 🙄 I like what you do.
Howzit Kruger. I've sold that whole back section of the Ford to someone else. I'll come up with another plan, probably in the next video
I think its awesome that you have so many vehicles that youve used together to build this Div!!
Thanks Dusty. If nothing else, I'm having fun!😆
@@ratrodsafrica thats the main thing!!!!
Dif this is awesome! Love your builds and your attitude on life.
Thanks brother!
My friend need to add cab body lines to bed
Hey there Div. the back end of the doner tray would make an awesome “thinking lounge”.
A thinking lounge!🤣
Hey there my brother what ever you use is good you are doing a great job with whatever you have.

Nice work, looks awesome .
Thank you!
Diff I would have put the fenders on the outher way, headlights forward, like my fenders wider at the front, but that's just me, keep going looks good
It's long done by now🙂
Awesome work
Thank you!
A true inspiration
Thanks brother!
I've seen it before and it usually looks really cool, use the rear quarters from an old 50s car that has tail fins! Maybe in the next build???????? :D
Looking good so far!!
It's looking very lekker!
Thanks Ekim!
Depending on year of VW bug and/or it it was an aftermarket fender, most body parts are zinc coated to my knowledge.
Thats interesting!
