I would love to have Charlotte.The craftsmanship that went into it is amazing.
Recently found and immediately subscribed to your channel. Love your art. Just restarted a project I let sit since 1985, my ole 37' GMC. Work like yours inspired me to order a roll of #9 wire get going!! Thank you Bob.
Ha .. gotta have that #9 wire!
Nothing ratty about that car, pure hotrod from the old days, you and cousin Ken know how to build em !
Hey Bob, Don't change a thing... It looks perfect! Well done!!! It's really a cool ride.
G'day from Australia. I reckon at some point it moves from being a car to an Art form. That is an amazing mechanical sculpture.
I consider it art ... to me .. it's more fun to create it than to possess it!
Your creations could be great movie cars. They would be the star of the show.
Charlotte looking good. I’m digging the silver over black for the bare steel paint job. Great job Bawb. Your comprehensive Rat Rod making skills are perty impressive. Nice to be able to learn from your pops and 11 years older brother. I learned exactly bupkis about fixin’ cars from my pops so gotta learn myself. But I watch all your videos and learning lots. Thanks for your congenial and entertaining videos. You remind me of Uncle Jesse from the Dukes of Hazard! Yes sirrrrey
You do amazing work Bob , I just love your stitching and webbing
Yes. Digging the 454. Stainless steel flanges from China rusting... as expected. Just resurface the bad boys as well as the valve covers. No worries. Looking forward to hopefully some touch up/maintenance videos. I worked at a pool fence manufacturer and they would get customers wanting galvanized fences so we’d take them steel fence panels and dunk em in a galvanizing vat. It added about 10-15 years of rust free enjoyment of the fence.
I love the way this thing turned out. I like those spokes, but if you have to change them Id go with Torque T's. You've finished 2 rods now in the time that I've finished none....🤔 Dang it BOB. Actually I did just get my 53 chevy on the road, I think Ill burn the rear tires off to celebrate. Thanks for the update BOB!
My 2 cents- looks awesome. Go with tuck & rolled red leather bench seats and door panels. Your car -your call. Thanks for the videos.
I just may do that in the future. Gonna show it this year while I build other stuff and then look at that! Blood red or cherry red leather?
That Chevy Tudor,,,,,,so nice , Yessir that would be my alltime dream ride

That 454 rat recon sure was sounding good bob and you know im in love with Charlotte have been since you started building her
This is one of my favorite builds that you have done. Then the next one is your yellow rat rod. How many do you have? Do you sell them? You need to do a video of all your rat rod builds putting them all together going from one to the next explaining about the builds and explaining about the difficulties that you had on each one.
I really like the spoked wheels on the front. But hey man it’s yours so you do what you want.
Me too! May have to buy two more and have em on all four corners!
They both look real good parked up next to each other. I think Charlotte is an Arachnid Rod.
Howdy from South Africa Bob ! Love what you've built man 👍👍👍 really awesome job !
Both are absolutely amazing but that truck is to die for...wow. Keep up the awesome work sir!!
If you gotta swap the fronts I guess a set of matching wheels would look pretty sweet.
I love this thing! The only thing I wonder about is if you could make the front wheels look more like a spider web with the spokes.
Ha ... now that would be cool!
Love your channel bob. Wish I owned a rat rod
Just sit back and watch me build and play with mine!
2 dislikes, who where why, mate some people have no soul. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺. Keep up the good work
WHO - couple guys driving Honda Civics with wings and fart mufflers and wish they were cool!
WHERE - I would guess North East US
WHY - pissed because their parents kicked them out the basement
Rat Rod Bob Builds if the two of em had’ve stopped swapping spit in the showers at the gym long enough they might’ve even discovered girls let alone DIY with more than a fistful of spit.
Yup..I agree..looks good in a wierd way doesn't look bad but I think matching front rims would look a bit better.anyways..awesome 😉
I would go with the matching wheels. It looks amazing, you did a great job on it so far. That exhaust tip and baffle should help on sound. See looks cool simply 😎. The truck looks cool as well cool simply 😎.
If you put smaller wheels that match the back, it will be more symmetrical, give it a slight rake. The front wheels are cool, but look out of place because they are too big. Sometimes you have to spend the money to get it right. Bob I got to say, when I first watched one of your videos, I figured you didn't know a whole lot. Needless to say, you proved me wrong, in fact, I believe you can build a car more economically than anybody I have seen, with maybe the exception of Bob Hamilton at hot rod 101. Y'all are a lot alike in your approach to car building.
Check out my latest videos .... I now have matching wheels ... all 4!
I would use the torque thrust between the two. You did an amazing job on Charlotte. Great job Bob
i got a dixie horn like dukes of hazard.they are real cool!
I would run the matching wheels with radial white walls. It would drive better also. Nicely done Bob.
Been wanting one in that style body and frame except a comfy tuck and roll bench seat interior with a slant 6 Chrysler just to be kinky. Maybe a few extra tail light bulbs with the merc cougar flash. The torq thrusts with wide white walls are the ultimate look i love. Great build man, thanks for sharing
I love the wheel combination just like you got it
I would match the wheels on back but thats just me you know. Your car is gonna look fine no matter what you put on her. Its perfect the way it looks and the stance is perfect.
I think you should paint the rim around the air cleaner unit in red, they will really look like lips!
Hmmm .... very interesting .... have to think about that one!
I like the gasser wheels on front better its a perfect mismatch. Don't let us be the judge its your car and nobodies gonna make your car look better than you. keep doing what you do!
Looks good the way it is
Excellent job!! I've watched everyone you've posted and you have gave me some great ideas. I recently purchased a 1928 durant 4 door sedan. I was going to try and restore it but this is a much better idea! Thanks for your posts.
I think the red plug wires are just enough red! You sure did a great job!
Rat Recon is so awesome too!
I like to refer to them as art rods as they are a work of art . A VW horn would sound like a roadrunner horn I believe.
Got a VW horn coming ... thanks!
Keep.up.the Great Work, Bob!
They're lookin' great Bob! I'm kind of torn between liking the existing wire wheels or changing over to the "Gasser" style spoke wheels - but I also think a matching set of the Torq-Thrust wheels would be a crowd pleaser. I really like the idea of the block-off plates, baffles, and turn-outs. The baffles will take the sharp rasp out of the exhaust note (so you will not go totally deaf), and without the turn-outs, you would probably start to bake the paint off the door on anything other than a short trip or at the very least eventually get a carbon coating on the bodywork.
Several nice cars have came from that shop. What about getting you a shop Logo and putting that design on the doors ?
I sure do like your car. That's the best rat rod, street rod, I've seen in along time. 👊✌
I dig it just like it is here!
I hear ya .... those front spokes are cool looking for sure. May buy two more for the rear one day!
Torque Thrust wheels for sure Bob . Man I need to plow snow for money but I sure would like to have the weather you have so I could work on mine .
Yes Bob I think some Torque Thrust in the front would be the way to go...
Bob, your truck is awesome. Love the videos keep them coming. 👊✌
Great pair together 👍 👌
Gday bob I’m watching from Australia. The car looks great mate but I think matching wheels on the front would be great. I can’t wait to see what you do with the pipes.
Welcome ... I have a few Down Under fans. Thanks for watching!
Looks good Bob! The torque thrusters would look good, or the steelies back on the front would also hold a classic hot rod look
Dag Bob I sho do luv me sum Charlotte! ...Newk from Kentucky
Had Torq Thrust D's (made in Orlando) all around on my 64 Cobra so I am partial to those.
Only in the States! Over here in UK or in Europe, there's no way on earth you could run either of them on the road.
Two stickers I'd love to have on the back of my car: "BUILT BY RAT ROD BOBS BUILDS" on one side and on the other side "MAINTAINED BY GARAGE 54" (They may be Russian but they're crazy as shit!)
And you cannot go wrong with '59 Caddy taillights! I'm currently in the process of grafting four of them on my Triumph Streetfighter!
Stay cool Bob, this Englishman over the other side of the pond is loving what you're doing there!
Very nice@!
My vote is the torque thrust match the back and you have the red stripes on your spiders on your headlights for the lipstick for Charlotte and then the stripe on her back in the side the car 🤓👍
I like the Torque Thrust wheels giving Charlotte the Big & Smalls Olde School look
Love it man that’s a badass build I vote torq thrust on the front 🙂
You got it!
Preciate ya Bob.
Hi Bob put the Gasser on it the thick spoke rims it a pretty they don't make them wider for the rear as i like those rims you can only get them for the front in 15 x 6 i believe there the wides you can get , wish they made them in 15 x 10 too but they don't .
Looking good Bob. I really like those Torque Thrust wheels on the rear so my vote would be for a matching set on the front in the size of your choice.
Ahh ladies, not knowing where it's real till you get in there and check it out then Charlot's big ole headlights that reminds me of this little girl back in 6 and 7th grade a lifetime ago man she had the biggest head lights I ever saw those two years then I ran into her out around town and nothing notta she was flat as a pancake man what a let down. I think that was when I first realized the facts of your statement.
Bob gave here. I think I would go with the gas or style like solid Centerline 4 inch wide 15 inch wheels they seem to always go great with no matter what style back wheels you use they're just a virtual versatile wheel yeah I don't know but whatever you choose I'm sure it will be just great Keep On Keepin On
I think if something cost $80 I would triple it and put that into it. Cuz you got so much fun detail into it that's your baby. I think the fenders on the rear tires would look really cool if was made into a spider web form.. for the horn I would find the biggest cow horn or steer horn. Cut the tip off and mount the horn on it it would definitely echo.
Leave the spoke wheels bob they look cool and u already got em ,put a air horn on it off a big truck that would be cool too
Dude the front wheels are sick I love it! Your a badass fabricator
Leave the fronts as is...goes well with Charlotte's classy look....matches her headlights.
The best part of those cars, especially the 32' s were the fenders and running boards ,looks like a chicken with wings cut off ,I would put them back on..
If it was me I would choose the torque Trust because I'm cheep, If money wasn't an issue I would do the other style, But first I would ask what Red wants on his car.
Red is the type of guy that's gonna get out there and run into the ground no matter what ... long as it runs and moves! I think he may have done crash derby in a past life!
Awesome job, on both pieces. I love the way you welded sutures on the 3" chop cut. It looks so cool, and just naturally works. You are very talented, have great vision, a shit load of common sense, good craftmanship, and enjoy what you are doing. Thanks for letting me ride along with your video
yuuup, definitely go with the torks on the front
THE WAY IT ITS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL . WELL DONE WORK...
Well Bawb , Charlotte looks GREAT. At first I thought the front wheels should match the rear, but now I like them big wire wheels. Do you have to change am because the one cannot be trued up ? Or you just want a different/ more conventional look. ?
More conventional/balanced look!
I have a crazy truck I just bought it’s a 1951 Chevy truck on a homemade frame 4x4 with a 409 big block , I’m going to do your stitching on it
Old school aluminum slots with your famous bare metal paint with your white walls or old school solid white letters
yea preety up that rear end a little torque thrust on front all good choices really nice hand built car. some pig lol! are the seats comfiee? definitely cool, heated just add power lol. looks great!!!!!!
Still lov'in it Bob! only thing i would change IF it where mine? ZOOMIES!!
I say put a train horn on it Bob! You're sure to get the most attention in any parade!
Aluminum wheels 4 spoke or 5 spoke lower the front find them in the ad s
One old Rat rod is nice. Two old Rat rods are twice as nice.
$119 wheels are FINE!
Leave those tires on it
It’s already perfect
Bobs Hot Rods on the door of the Dually might look good 😎👍
Pinstripes?
On the Charlotte web one I believe it it does look cool
Howdy howdy haus. I reckon u should toss whatever wheels ur heart disires... 🇺🇸 Simple as that. But I like them gassers
I am leaning more twords the torque thrust wheels on the front , then I think you could letter up the doors or the front cowl area and the rear trunk area with red lettering . (Charlotte) or (Hand Made By Rat Rod Bob)
Think Charlotte is a Hat Rod! Hot + Rat = Hat. 😎
i like the wire front rims, they just need to be shorter in height! amazing car though!
Your builds are really good
I need that truck in my life
As is - I don’t think the wheels look wrong at all Goes with the lights and radiator cowl why go to the expense when she already looks awesome - as for horn just an old squeeze horn would do just make a mini web as a bracket on the door
She is a work of art and proud to be a rat rod
TORQUE THRUST D's,....can't get much better then that.
How about a "Big Rig" air horn.
Had one on my "In The Red" truck.
Whudya name the first car, it’s pretty awesome as well.
454 Rat Recon ... it's a military truck theme! But I'm about to change the name to something else ... haven't decided what yet!
Rat Rod Bob Builds if you are taking suggestions “Sarge” mite be appropriate
Sarge ... ha ha .... have to think about that one! I like "Clyde" but my buddy already has a truck with that name!
I like what I see. I like the Rat Rod. Charlotte is not a hot Broad. She is a rat Rod. WTF. Did Charlotte find a Boy toy?? I never say that coming. All in all, I'm lov'n it. Thanks for sharing you crazy old fool.
those front tires look OK to me....
For symmetry and drivability would do the torque thrusts. Might be worth a look to take the other old spoke off the front and put it on the same side as the other to see what them old spokes all around would look like, that would look amazing i bet. Too bad having a lady is not all about the looks tho, some times a fella needs some traction ; ]
Keep the spokes Bob.
The little pick-up that you brought in would you sell the
This wof from Houston Tx. Use a Toyota horn it sounds just life a road runner horn I have one on my regal ps. early model toyota
Id look sharp matching the rear wheels!
are the seats comfy?
I drove it for a couple hours on back roads and never even noticed the seats. So .. yes .. but I will let you know after I drive it more! The plan was the tractor seat mold would make them fit my butt which they do perfectly.
they sure look awesome.. I was hoping they would ride as comfy and nice as they look. sounds like they are working out nicely.. glad you have the weather to get out and go for a ride. I'm getting tired of driving my work truck all the time :(
Vw horn sounds like the road runner.alot cheaper
I like the rears.
