- I decided to resurrect the Rogue Runner Rat Rod for a car show. Join me for some cool cosmetic changes and upgrades. We also have mechanical problems... but we did get her to the car show! At least to make popcorn... What's that all about?

That ride is sick!!! I can't imagine what you dream about. Don't fret about the critics. It's your house and your rules. Do your thing. Great video Diff.
absolutely
Diff u r one cool old dude my brother. Lacka man lol
Really like the changes you made to the Rogue Runner. Looks like it was a big hit with the attendees.
Diff,you certainly have a fertile imagination,can't wait to see how you build these "embelishments".
Love how imaginative your mind works.I couldn't come up with half of the original things that you do. Keep up the great content.
he is incredible
Your creativity is astounding, but the thing that really blows me away is that you might be the only guy on the planet that saves his hole-saw slugs. Well done, Div- the truck looks GREAT! I have a thing for straight sizes, so this one ticks all the boxes for me.
haha! I'm going to start saving mine now
Loving the old straight 6 myself. Recently found another 250 Chevy in very good nick, so will stick that in at some point
I have seen kettle corn before but must say this is the first time for muffler corn..
bahaha!
😂
Hi Diff lekka one ,
Awesome resurrection well done 👏
💯%🙏 Love & Respect
absolutely
Well done again love it that’s very KIFF 👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺
Rogue Runner sounds good, looks amazing. Looking forward to updates to it. Have a lekka one Div
Very cool steampunk rat rod.
the Rogue Runner is very impressive, its motor sounds like my old jeep cherokee did the only thing it had was a cheap header from ebay and a dynomax muffler, I enjoyed the popcorn popping, and your welding skills look great from the U.S.
can't believe the amount of viewers than don't click the thumbs up.great video, and good to see wayne too.
Quite a vehicle
Div projects are great. Giving an old project some loving is always great. Lekka Div
absolutely
Thanks for the video, Div. always great to see you create.
👍👍 P.S. now looks like a Jester's hat lol😂
🤣
that black chevy is to us in europe known as a opel commodore with a straight six and a opel rekord with a straight four! :)
And I believe they were Holdens in Australia
@@ratrodsafrica I think it is a Vauxhall Victor FE
I always thought it looked good sitting forlornley in the background, but now I believe you gave it the WOW factor. Looks great Div.
Enjoyed the video very much. The details on this build are amazing. 🤩
bigtime
That chevy is eurpopean version, 12:01 opel record! And i'm not shore is vaugshall,s have own version as well! That straith6 is strong engine! That your rod is masterpiece of art!!!, Sir!! Wery beautifuly made these skeleton stuff end all what you got there! !!!!beauty!!!👌👍☺️✌️✴️🇫🇮🍀☀️🙏❤️
Putting some lip stick/nail polish on the ole' girl👍 maybe the next show she can be on the Reo going piggyback😎
That will be awesome! One day...
So many projects… so little time! 😂😂😂 Loving the Steam Punk Vibe - Lekka Brother. Hope all is well in your world. Michael Uk 🇬🇧
It's a ripper Dif... 👍👍🦘🦘
It's still a cool rod😊
and yet still more brains...
Best Regards from Connecticut USA. Brother, you are a talented artist gifted with practical engineering skills! I really enjoy your channel Stay healthy my brother and God Bless
Thanks, boet! Happy to hear you are enjoying my carryings on😅
Nearly peed myself with the popcorn thing. Did you just throw a handful of kernels down the exhaust stack and run the engine until they popped? That's funny as hell.
Yep. Works like a charm! 😂
This is definitely one of my favorites. my type of rat rod.
bigitme
I also found that Duram paint not lasting well.
But I saw this truck at the George show and still think this is the best looking one in your collection
Thanks Kobus!
Очень красиво оформлено! Жду новый проект.
You are an amazing artist yes an artist that builds rat rods.
absolutely! He's a mad Rat Rod scientist
This machine is magnificent. I wish we’d seen you build it. But just getting this tour is more fun than i expected to have today. You’re a steam punk genius. 😊👍👍
he is a genius for sure
Thanks, brother!
Definitely a KOOL Truck Div will look forward to seeing the rebuild on the Truck
Those are some nice wheel adapters, thanks for sharing and ideas.
Cool vid , Build On
This car is awesome . It reminds me of rat rod Bob style. The stitching on the cut lines where the panels meet . Thanks for showing the ol girl . Cool ride.
Bob’s style is definitely an inspiration!
I love your ART Diff, keep it coming mate. Lloyd from AUS! G'Day !
G'day Lloyd! Appreciate the support from down under. 🙂
A South African gentleman told me than Paint stood for PAIN T. You can ask him. Look the mirror out some time and ask. Looks Gold Diff.
😂
Cool rod man, memories of a Mexican Red Chevy 3800 in the late 70s are stirring.
Hey Div ! Enjoyed the video very much! I love the details! The enjoyment of rat rod building is the creativity and re-purpose of junk. I could not help but laugh at the people at the car show trying to figure out the purpose of the parts with no purpose other than to make people curious about the purpose! When asked, "what does that do?" I answer, " I can't tell you, but it works very well". good work brother! (Everyone is a welding inspector whether they own a welder or not!
Re the welds.....yep...keyboard welders.
haha! yes they are for sure. I'm all about repurposing of junk.
It's fun to pick a "victim" and come up with a crazy explanation. I told a few guys that contraption is a still for making moonshine and they believed me 😂
@ 🤣🤣🤣
Here in Sweden (and europe) that car is an German made Opel. Foucylinder cars were called Rekord and had four bolted wheels
Sixcylinder versions were called Commodore and had fivebolted wheels, 2.5 and 2.8 liter engines were used 1971-1977. Rekord had 1.7 and 1.9 liter engines and a 2.0 liters came 1977. A very nice coupe was made as both Rekord and Commodore. ❤ From Sweden.
Sorry 1972-1977..
The Ole gal is awesome brother !!!! I remember seeing this Ole gal coming together !!!! But the upgrades are awesome !!!!! She is a warrior lady queen of art !!! Her charm and character is unmatched !!!! Say hi to everyone for me brother and yall have a lekka one !!!! Another awesome adventure as always from my brother from another country !!!! See ya in the next adventure
Thanks brother!
Hello Diff 😊
Howdy! 😎
Great work as always , Thanks for another , Brother.
✌️🤩. GUU. AA. OOOOO. ✨✨💥. TODO. UN. Maestro. MI. RESPETO. Y. ADMIRACION. POR. TU. GRAN. TRABAJO. saludos. Desde. 💥EUROPA. 👉🇪🇦. ESPAÑA.
Awesome adventure yall !!!! Great to see everyone enjoying your creations brother
The best way to cook (toxic) popcorn! 🤣🤣
Only slightly carbonated 🤣
Two thoughts for you, #1 left handed people seem to be more creative 😮❤ #2 those who can, do. Those who cannot become teachers or critics!!😮😮❤❤❤
The copper highlights are great it really makes it pop that's lukar man 👌👌👌
Veeerryyy interesting
Has it really been 2 yrs brother say hi to Wayne barefoot mechanic for me !!!
Hi Diff. Re the 250 Chev, still plenty of parts for those coming out of Mexico & personally I would stay with the Chev. The carb issue can be fixed with a Weber change over item & adaptor. If the distributor needs work there are electronic ignition conversions. I have a 3.8 (230) from a 66 Nova lurking under my work bench awaiting a project vehicle. A decent skid plate under the sump might be an option??...Re the carb again, a stock carb from an Australian built 250 Ford. 6 will fill the bill & hide under your air cleaner with little work. .I actually drove a Commer Superpoise in 1972....fark...I'm old...lol
Not many that can say they have driven a Commer! I found another 4.1(250) that is in very good condition. Enjoying the straight 6, so will stay with it🙂
@@ratrodsafrica Kool....nothing like a strong straight 6.
Thanks Div 🤙🏻
So awesome. Such creativity in that build
You and Rat Rod Bob would get along real fine. He is a friend of Waylon Wire. Bob is big into stitches and other stuff.
Been communicating with both of them🙂
Looking good!!! Thank you for taking us along for the ride!!
Coolest popcorn machine EVER 👍👍 thx Div
😂👍
What a cool truck and another great video 👍👍
Has a steam punk feel to it, looking forward to seeing you refresh and drive. Great video as always 😊
Awesome job Div! She looks amazing! Your attention to detail is incredible!
Another enjoyable video! 🎉
Very nice job Diff
Love that Steampunk theme on this ride. I'm not a fan of open wheels but the front of this ride looks great. A lot of things to keep the lookers busy while trying to understand the parts on the engine. Thanks.
😁👍
Need to step back, and take a fresh breath. It always help.
Helps with what?
Kief bakka, Lekker Boet!
Awesome artwork!!!
I get a lot of flack over my fence post's with the same top. What if someone gets hurt, stay the hell off my fence. It won't be a problem!
Exactly! 😅
the effort put into this is extremely beautfull what time/effort can produce
Awesome changes!
Love it❤
Your dual wheel hub is "hub centric" instead of "lug centric"
Hey Mr Diff the old rat looking pretty cool my brother u done a really good job on this build 👍👍👍
Div, you’re a genius! You are the only one I know that made a still using an old Chevy 6 banger😂. Is the “Hooch” you distill drinkable, or do you use it for cleaning greasy parts? 👍👍
If you use unleaded petrol it doesn't have any kick... 😂
@ 👌
Thats the frist time I've seen this car that i can remember. That's a cool ride buddy you said it was a lerning experiance we all need that and nobody's perfect. But keep up the good work brother everything looks great cant wait to see this one get fixed up
I love watchin these cars come along. I dont have the money or tools to do stuff like this but i finally changed my rear breaks that were meatal to metal for about 3 weeks in the rain no less ya know it figures 40 degree weather and im settin on the tire gettin soaked but its fixed
What an awesome video about my Bakkie 😂😂
The price just went up big time!😂
@@ratrodsafrica Ha Ha I know I know
Rogue Runner real keif steampunk X ratrod Diff..cant wait for the refurbishment of him....
😂ATTDN, although my mind was trying to understand and you had me for a minute I soon realized that OG is pulling my leg😂
Diff your a gem, thanks for sharing your mind and talent.
Tacoma WA.
😂👍
More beans and toast for you ⚡️
Worth it!😅
Rod looks great.
So much going on. I also like the stance.
Oil pressure, maybe the oil pump pick up is restricted?
Could be, but we don't think so
Really appreciate your work of art on your rigs, as a suggestion, why don't you get a car trailer which will help moving your trucks to car shows easily. Keep it up, love your videos
Cool Rod. Couldn't you add a external oil pump. Get the pressure up. I like the strait six deal. Great idea on patina. Rebuild the steering box. You rolling again. If it ain't broke don't fix it. 😂👍👍✌️🇬🇧
My 292 had low oil pressure, change the oil filter better after that. Small things to check first before going after major parts.
We will get her going again 🙂
you are one twisted individual! which makes me believe that through a worm hole in space... somehow we are brothers
Hehe! Normal people scare me😂
Don't you have Australian Ford Falcons there ol' mate with the 4 litre 'Barra' 6 cylinder engines . . . standard 230hp up to 1600hp red hot
Not many, but there are a few
Park the Rogue Runner next to a very expensive shiny Lambo. and guess which one will get most attention.
The were actually some Lambos not far away, and as you say...😅
What you’re supposed to be doing, is what you feeling like doing at the time. Creative people have to do the things they wanna do not what they have to do. Life is short and enjoy it.
The Roguerunner cosmetic upgrades looks great. Now if only you had a car hauler....
Howzit from Durbs
Hehe, if only...
I love the rogue Runner, it’s very creative. So much artwork is into it. Your skeletal hand is just amazing.
Thanks!
That car is awesome shame you been hiding it cant wait to see the upgrades you plan on doing
Still a fun episode Diff, had me smiling all the way to the car show.
By the way we have a similar rust converting product here called Fertan, this stuff and a little light oil makes for a good patin a, but is not permanent.
One tip I got from my uncle back in the 1960´s, if you have a car where the paint is badly weathered and with rust spots that you may not want to wash with water, you can clean it up with ATF, this makes for a nice greasy sheen and lasts a whole summer.
Cant wait til the next time when your batteries are charged, J.
I'm thinking the ATF will not dry like boiled linseed oil and attract a lot of dust on my dirt roads
@@ratrodsafrica Not a problem really, you don´t leave that mich on.
I'm not too hot on rat-rods, but... You have an awesome artistic eye for design. You're not just welding s**t on for the hell of it.... it all has a purpose whither it's function or for the sake of art. Not everybody can do that and make it look right. Keep it up. Cheers from Iowa US
Thanks man! Yeah, I hear you about too much junk just for the sake of it.
Rouge Runner looks great.
How cool. Always good stuff Diff
Hi Div always enjoy your channel, your builds are always creative. When I saw you were going to a car show (show n shine) I thought I would tell you about a great car show that was on the 9th of February at Hanging Rock in Central Victoria. There are usually up to approximately 2000 vehicles on display, great gathering, great day ,im saw you would love it !! Hanging Rock is a is the remnants of an extinct volcano, actually the solitified larver coming out of a vent, and yes there is a rock hanging between 2 other rocks.i didn't make it there this year but because I live close by I have been threr many times cheers mate from OZ
2000 cars is huge in comparison to our car shows!
The fix for low oil pressure on chev 6s is heavier oil. They are used to straight 30w, not 10w30. 15w40 or 20w50 are good choices for hot weather
We have 20W50 in there...
@ratrodsafrica OK, it will still go a long time like that. Just try to limit your burnouts to close to home.
@@Zane-no5dy 😁 I found another straight 6 in really good nick. We will just do a swop at some point
As per usual great to see your creativity. The Finish almost looks like its been clear coated. Still Hanging to see you do something with ellies J Bedford.
I have plans, but not enough time! 😅
Awesome build.
In Europe we know that chevy as an Opel Commodore :)
Definitely kief or kiff brother
I gotta say, your channel is my only rat rod styled channel in my sub list. I swear there isn't anything you couldn't make. You had me going with your att-dn. I could have sworn it was some weird ass catch can. I love your style man. Thanks for all the awesome tips, tricks, and VIDEOS. I dig it. Btw, here in California, and the rest of the states "kief" is a LITTLE bit different. Some of us refer to it as the good good, good stuff, tree, bud, MARIJUANA 😂😂😂😂. as always, from the bay!
Thanks my brother in the bay! Wanted to get some shots for you of the Datsuns, then the camera died!
@ratrodsafrica Ya, I heard you say Datsun! I love it. Thanks man. I see you aren't using laundry detergent! Have a lakka one
Really great HOT-COOL car. You need to take some professional pictures with some of your wisdom, ...for some calendars, magazines, fans ...
I don't look good in a bikini!🤣
Sir,Diff, Brother Wayne...this was an amazing episode..very much enjoyed this one guy's, man I wish I lived close , I would definitely be hanging out with you guys.
👍😎💯 🇿🇦 I think I got your flag right,?...
Have a lekker one guy's.....
Thanks man! Yeah, you got it right 🙂
