Well, we all know that Rat Rods are custom rides unfinished custom rides that are also buckets of bolts are loud, smoky, and ready to burn up the streets. But, sweet mother of god, check out this rat rod car video.
This Willy’s T rat rod from 1919 is owned by Greg Baum. It has been literally designed to shoot high flames up in the air! Greg has setup zoomie pipes to particularly shoot the flames! Pretty hot! I mean pretty cool! Ha!
The T-Bucket or Bucket T as it is otherwise called refers to a specific style of hot rod car, based on a Ford Model T but intensely modified or built with replica components to resemble a Model T. As the last Model T was built eighty years ago, recent T-Buckets are usually replicas as very few real Model T’s are available to work upon.
A true T-Bucket is equipped with the small and light two seater body of a Model-T roadster pickup. The name ‘Bucket’ comes from the ‘bucket’ shaped body shells these possess. They are fitted with a Model T style radiator, which is sometimes not very adequate to cool the large engines these vehicles possess. A T-Bucket is devoid of any engine cowling. The windshields are akin to those found on the original Model T.
and named by Norman Grabowski in the 1950s. T-Buckets are a very common hot rod style today. They generally feature a large engine, usually a V8, large rear tires and comparatively smaller front tires.
The body shell is a Ford (at least in appearance) and as regards to the engine, a variety of them, such as the Chevrolet 350 V8, a common choice, four cylinder engines, modern fuel injected engines and engines equipped with super chargers are used.
Check out the awesome rat rod in this car video! It looks really cool!
This one’s a real classic with its engine mounted in the front in typical rat rod style. The buzzing sound of that engine is hypnotic and looks like lotta time and hard work has gone in restoring this beauty. Even though the paint job is a bit dull, it sounds great and any car enthusiast’s heart would melt for it!
Volksrods are modified Volkswagen beetles, used as an alternative to traditional hotrods and are increasingly rising in popularity. Compared to the Ford Model T’s and A’s, which are becoming more expensive and hard to find, the Volksrod is both an inexpensive and easier option.
The alteration involves taking out the front and rear fenders, installing a classic Ford axle and shifting the wheels forward to give the car an extended look. It is concluded by chopping the top and giving the car a paint job. Some opt to move the Volkswagen axle beam forward or reverse the trailing / torsion arms and re-work the steering linkages.
As witnessed in all forms of car customization, various types of modifications are undertaken, the variety simply being a matter of personal liking and interest.
Hey guys check out this classic Hot Rod video and get to know one of the famous and baddest Hot Rod ever known, built by a guy called ‘Norm’. This was the Hot Rod which started a whole new trend and later it even became a TV star! Cool man! Watch out further as you see ‘Von Franco’, the guy who later improvised Norm’s Hot Rod.
These were some of the original, classic Hot Rods from the yester years. Those were the golden years when Hot Rod culture was just blooming in America. This was the time when a whole new importance and meaning was given to the Hot Rods in America and later as you know it took whole of US by storm. And right now Hot Rod culture is very pre dominant in America. And as if tailor made for this video, even the background score sizzles. Sounds bit similar to the James Bond theme!
Does anyone remember a car named Morris Minor form Great Britain, predecessor to the Mini? Well, if not, here’s a video of it, but with a very different look just for you guys. Check out this car video, where you get to watch this Morris Minor, called here ‘VOLKSWAGEN MY ASS – IT’S A MORRIS’. You’ll get to see it in the video. Well I don’t know what it exactly means, but my sincere apologies for using harsh word.
The Morris Minor seen here is actually a ‘Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’. It has been modified to go fast with Nitrous made available in it! It also has tube suspension, AOD transmission and a 351 blower motor in it. With mileage of around just 6 miles/gallon, it’s not any usual economy car. As the owner says in the car video, “It’s made to go fast in a straight line”.

Wow, look at this cool new machine from the Ford, called Ford Focus RS. After so many rumors, spyshots ans speculations flying around, atlast Ford have declared it as the new official auto, say hotrod with its raw power, to roll out from the Ford’s stable. This is a one cutie pie that will make its debut at this month’s London Motor Show.
Don Roth in autoblog says, “The press release confirms that the RS will be powered by a Duratic 2.5L engine that’s turbocharged Duratec 5-cylinder tuned to produce 280 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Ford also claims it’s got torque steer for this pocket rocket in check with a new front-wheel-drive system and limited-slip differential.”
Alex Nunez in autoblog says, “The driver’s office is also a nice place to be, with color-keyed Recaros; a straightforward IP layout with a supplemental gauge pack atop the center stack; a 6-speed manual gearbox; and plenty of metallic and carbon-fiber-look accents. This is normally where we’d bitch about not having the Euro Focus, but since we now know that it’s on the way, we’ll just say that we really, really hope that “RS” translates to “ST” in American English.”
