BUILDING CUSTOM REAR PANEL/SPARE WHEEL COVER FROM SCRAP - 1951 Chevy Rat Truck Build
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- Continuing the 1951 Chevy Budget Rat Truck build, I recycle some sheet metal from an old Nissan door and hood to build a custom rear panel which also functions as an unusual spare wheel cover.

Love watching your work Div. It's the ultimate counterpoint to the high dollar catalogue raiding and assembly videos that are much more typical. That bakkie has so much detail and interest that a person could check it out for an hour and not quit get what has gone into it.
Thanks brother! Yes man, my mission to show that you dont need catalogues and dollars to build some fun stuff
The way you use the best & worst of old vehicle panels to make a custom vehicle is an inspiration to all.
A true Artform
Thankyou Diff👍
Thanks Bruce. Glad you like
A great Rat rod build! Your spare tire is your bumper. Hey, your saying at the end of the video: Have a lukka-one. That's a new one for me...Does it mean, "Have a lucky one?"
Thanks Matthew! "Lekka" is a South African slang word that means cool or great or nice. Have a lekka one!😅
''boy you are so lucky to have the supply of parts just laying out in the woods. Over here the junk dealers would have all those part taken to the recycling.
Chevy, Ford, Beetle, Nissan, OH MY....
I THINK ITS A COOL TRUCK DIV...
Thanks brother!
Get yourself a foam exercise mat to lay on, and to help with your knees ⚡️
I really like the way the rear fenders turned out. Better then the original
Thanks man! Yeah, very happy with them. Also think the nicer than the original "boxy" ones.
I like the way you built that we're renting that truck
Cool Duff little beer table as a tyer cover. You can sit in your thinking chair with a cold one 🍺 thanks for sharing all you hard work.
Thats a function I didnt think about!😂
That box looks sharp! My father did up a S10 and had similar taillights molded into his box and a roll pan too. For the front end he had a chopped 61 Apache front grille and headlight bezels. You remind me of him. It’s hard to come by creative people like you and him anymore.
Your hand-made alignment tools are awesome.
Glad you like them!😄
We are getting there guys and girls ..give Dif a mention on your other channels to get a few more over help the guy out .sweet👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks for the support Gazza!
Very impressed. Design, fabrication , execution, all fantastic.
Thanks brother!
This guy is awesome! Love his sense of humor and vision!
Really like that 51 Chevy truck it’s excellent and so’s your work!
Thanks 👍
Another nice piece of workman ship
Thank you!
It's looking better and better. Groovy Man !
That is a great look and yes the yellow breaks it up .... Build On
Thanks brother. I also kinda like the yellow
Brilliant as usual. I think the thinking chair was invited late to the party, you had already solved it in your partnership with the envisioning tool and it got jealous and didn't want to come out to play.
Haha, think you might be right😂
Liking the recycled Nissan parts Duff.
Cool tire cover
Glad you liked it
every one needs color in their life , nice job ! Maan !
Yeah man! Thanks
Yep, it's just what the doctor ordered, a little shape is alot of interest, nice work 👍
We like curvy shapes...😂 Thanks boet!
@@ratrodsafrica ohhhh yeah 😉 😜
That's nice Div, also don't forget the nissan window winders can be fairly easily adapted to fit your truck.
Cool addition to the already cool truck
Thanks Tommy
Awesome! The thinking chair worked, you took a huge ugly opening and made it look much better.
Thanks man!
America calling... Have a hard time understanding some of your words but I do understand what I see and like the way you use the junk to make a prize... You make me see how much I can save by getting a little more dirty too... Love what you do...
Thanks Jerry from America! Yes, sorry my English not the best, its not my mother tongue...
Your creativity is inspiring. Frankentruck is coming together nicely.
Very happy if I can inspire man!
Great idea for steering wheel Truck is looking good
Thanks 👍
Accuracy, symmetry equals beauty, awesome man.
Thanks Steve!
Greeting from Kentucky
Hello Chis from Kentucky!
I kind of like the yellow bump-out, it grows on you. And after it "rusts up" a bit, it will kind of look like a safety yellow feature, Lol.
Thats what I've also been thinking! Lets see how it turns out. Easy to take off if I dont like it later on😅
Well done Div on reaching 5000 subscribers..
woohooo!! 🥳 🥳
Thanks babes! And thanks for the support and putting up with me 😅
GREAT RECYCLING , love your work Diff....Ass end looks TUFF....... have a LAKKA ONE BRO !!!!
Thanks brother! Love to repurpose stuff.
I love it. And if I wind up behind it, I WILL know EXACTLY what it is! That would be pretty cool. 😊👍👍
Thanks man!😀
l am liking this build .
Your building it for you people will ether like it or not!
Jip! Different strokes for different folks...😅
Friggin Awesome! Great Results!
Glad you like it! Thanks bro.
I love the whole bulild and I learned so much about doing a roof chop. Your channel has been so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍👌👏
Awesome! Thank you!
i think that tire there is a stroke genius its the perfect bumper and somewhere to keep your spare wheel and i actully like the look of it too. but id build a shelf for it as that chain is a faff and a number plate wrapping around that curve would look amazing
Like the tail pan with rounded piece for your spare tire.
You got the tailgate sorted, like the spare wheel compartment, could also serve as a step to get into your bed. Like your reference to Ian Russell and his envisioning tool, he's got some great ideas for making stuff fit.
I hear some sort of a bird noise sometimes, I suppose it's your local crow.
Getting there! The bird is called a Hadeda. Lots of them here.
Beautiful design and execution! You have amazing talent! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ray!
I am about to build one similar to my flat bed dump 1974 gmc 3500 dually . I got the right junk. You encouraged me more to go this way. Insurance doesn't need to know my truck dump's. Will be just a regular pickup truck . Thanks for sharing
Do it man!😅
I like your attitude. It is your truck so do it the way you want it. Leave the yellow paint. Too much of a good things ruins your fun. My kind of guy. I like to mess with peoples mind. If they don’t like it tough.
Thanks Bruce. Yes man, if people dont like my shit, its their problem, not mine!😅
If you put a piano hinge along the top and 2 barrel bolts at the bottom you can make that panel swing up and you could make it stay up with gas struts, this way it would be easy to drop your spare.
That could also work yes.
I really like this truck a lot!
Looks good Diff. Great job. Well you got a step up to get in the bed anyways. Lol Maybe needs some Expanded metal on it. None slip. But one thing did cross my mind that it is one big sail panel and the tail Gate. Cutting down your MPGs. .maybe needs some speed holes. Or luvers. But the flat continental kit works great. Truck coming along nicely. Needs some grab handles on top of bed. I mounted a boot spoiler on the cab roof once. Looked good. You could hold on to it standing in the bed. And I stuck the truck in a ditch and Tboned the front bumper. So I got some treated 8inch by 8 Inch wooden post and made a front bumper..polished the edges and varnished it..they all laffed but it grew on them fast. Lol. Have a good day Diff. Good luck. Lekka Man. Not Arrrrrr Kak Man..lol. Adios. Dino
Thanks man. Yes, maybe speed holes...or something... let's see...
Love what your doing
Thanks Jim
Your Nissfordolet is coming right on along.
Interesting name you dreamt up!👍
@@ratrodsafrica Thank you

Thanks Gary!
Always a good time seeing what you come up with and how you do it...
Thanks man!
I love it. Cheers from Alaska. A twist on the continental kit.
Thanks man! Jeez, Alaska is a LONG way from me!😅
I really like your style. From Colorado USA.
Thank you very much! Howzit to Colorado!
I thought you were just going to leave the tyre showing, makes a nice rubber bumper. 👍🏴
Guess I got carried away 😂

😂Maybe they send me some free shit!😂😂
Love it
Love your work from the usa
Thank you!
Love it !
Great job! Another 👍🏻👍🏻 from me.
You may want to brace it some more. I can see someone using that as a step.
Thanks man. Yes, I also started seeing the step thing...😅
Very cool truck!
Thank you Randall!
Great design as usual. Very nice craftsmanship also. Have you thought about using seat belt buckles and latches on the inside of the tailgate. More donor parts from the Nissan. Jeff
Thank you. Thats an unusual idea!
Really cool project.
Thank you!
Love it!!!
Thanks Kevin!
Totally cool. Like it alot! 👍
Hell yeah my brother!! Good job
Thanks brother!
Brilliant work👍
Thanks buddy!
I really enjoy your videos I would subscribe in a minute but I live on a VA Pension and I just don't have any extra money but I will always hit the like button once again I enjoy your work and what you're doing
Thanks Charles. Not sure if you are serious brother, but doesn't cost anything to subscribe. My wife also thought it costs money...
Love your approach man! My kinda dude!
Thanks bro!
LOVE IT
Glad you like it!
Interesting ideas!!
Thank you neighbor!
I like it!
Glad you do!😀
love it
Thanks!
Some bumper/step, mounted on both bolt-on and stationary part could really improve stiffness situation
Yes, I will probably still do a bumper of sorts
Very unique ! Reminds me of a "continental kit". Like that you left the plug welds visible. Again , a tremendous amount of work that was made to look easy. Love It !
Thanks my friend across the pond. I'm learning something here - a few people are referring to "Continental kit". No idea what that is, but Google is your friend😅
Slope the box and back end to look like a 36 Chevy Coupe or a Porsche.
That woul look quite radical!
Duff very nice job recycling that 2nd door man. That's very unique and very nice design there on the back of the rat rod truck. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Glad you like it! Stay well brother.
dig ya work Dif..make it look so easy
Thanks Rob!
Awesome
Thanks!
Lyk baie mooi gaan dit n trappie wees om agter op te klim
Dankie! Ja, ook begin dink dit kan 'n trappie raak.
I was thinking a split, extended bumper. Here in Louisiana we have a lot of rear end collisions.
That looks great. For me the hardest part is deciding what to do. Once you figure out what to want to do, actually doing it the easy part. Creating something on a blank canvas is always the challenge for me. You constantly wondering what will it look like and if it will work with what you have going on... You pulled it of Div...Looks cool and unique. Thank you for sharing.
Agree 100% "Designing" stuff is much harder than actually doing it. And can take more time! Glad you approve bro😀
I can not get enough of your work, thanks
Wow, thank you!
Looking good, spare wheel panel looks great .👍
Thanks Chris
Fantastic. Love watching you videos 🧐🇬🇧🥇💓🔥
Thanks brother!
I like the direction you’re taking this build!!
Thanks! Not for the purists or traditionalists though...😂
Song: One piece at a time
The 1/2 round detail at the bottom of the “ bin sides” should go across the back to the spare tire bulge. Going around the corner of the 1/2 round will be difficult maybe use a cut up exhaust bend ! Just a thought. Recessed tail lights 👍
Taking that half round across the back is an excellent idea! Good vision bro!
Yes I was going to say the same will add more stability and look mint.
Cheers love your eork
@@davidnaudi2601 thanks man. Guess I have no choice now...😅
