    Bob, Love your channel, take your time and post whenever you see fit. Your true fans are busy building stuff also and catch you when we can. Nevermind those sitting on the computer looking for everyday content!

    Just keep doing what you do Bob!! People can be quite demanding... especially when they seem to only watch videos every day. If they were spending their time working on their own projects, which I know is a hope of your efforts to instruct, they would be too busy to complain you don't have a video out every day 😊. Rock on Bob. 😎

    It's Rat Rod hobby...Not a Rat Race obligation. Good lesson for all. Glad you take the time to share your skills and vision. Best to you and yours.

    Nice design Bob, I like that it comes straight out of your head and not a blueprint or some fancy CAD design. Always like seeing your videos cause they relate to the "common man" and you explain how you do it all very well. Thanks and look forward to the next video whenever you feel like making it..

    Hey Bob -I am retired like you and happiest building in my shop. It does take a long time it seems but I get a lot of work done.I have too many projects and have to be careful I don't get more from Craigs List. Key is -just be happy, keep on going. Thanks Bob

    Waaay more steampunk than "rat". This one's gonna be beautiful. The hood and grille will balance and soften the "busy" mechanical look of the suspension and exhaust. Bob's car work is becoming a fine art, more than a mere craft, and far surpasses the high dollar projects of many professional builders. That he uses it as a teaching tool is a great gift to us all. Thank you, Bob!

    Bob I am from Brazil I found your channel searching for hot rods and did a real marathon on your channel mainly in Charlotte videos and loved them all.
    I have been dreaming since I was a teenager of having a Hot Rod made by myself, and your channel is helping me a lot to plan how to do it.
    I have a Willys '65 4x4 pickup that has almost nothing left of the cabin but when I build it I will review all your videos again, I will pay close attention to building your pick up floor to replicate it in mine.
    Thanks Bob.

      As an mechanical engineer I wanna hire this man to my shop, the way he does things Is bat shit insane but the way he methodically works out issues in his design is something we can all learn off of hes a man of great talent and skill and is a hero for showing us these videos.

    Mini truckers were doing this set up back in the 90's on the rear. I've seen single bag set ups with watts links on model a front ends, just hope your line don't pop! You might endo that thing! When the cop asks where your E brake is, just air out and dig the front of the frame into the asphalt.

    Alrighty Then!! Glad you posted a update buddy and as always your cleverness and ingenuity have shown through. I also understand you're disabled and don't always feel like being in your shop. I'm a disabled Veteran so I get it completely. I rebuild salvage cars and trucks to keep myself off the damn couch but there's many a day I can't do it anymore my body is to beat up and I'm heading towards 70. I truly appreciate the time you take to make these videos and help people see your design process. Great job man!

  • @trevorwilliamgrindrod3999

It takes a lot of time to design and then welder up, then make a video and not git ole Redd to help much is tough but we know you love it. if I was a guessin I'll bet you got some offers on it now.. Itz gonna be a Baddd Ride when you are don.....:)

    @DennisMurphey 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    So happy to see your update, Thank You great project. I thought the Air bags tilting was goofy, I hear you but a pivot on top like the lift link to the axle would feel nicer. I ain't worried though. You go such a good job editing the videos and inserting stills to refresh our memory. I need to do that on my train videos but I don't know how. do use any particular software tool to compile your finished videos. Take care and thank you again, great project.

    So, what happens to the left wheel when the right wheel goes up/down? Your demo only shows the stuff working for identical vertical changes to both tires.... I remember the video showing the rear suspension design covered what happens as one side hits a bump. Thanks Bob... your builds are amazing...
