Love these videos. I’ve been following the choppers since I was a kid. I had a movie with them and Ian Roussell and Keith Weesner And a bunch of people. Super cool that you’re making videos now and we get to see the old cars.
Definitely More Hot Rod stuff. I currently own an old mustang and I wanna get into the Hot Rod scene. Thats how I found you over a year ago when you had 2k subs. Heading to TROG this weekend. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽
Yo Big Ben ! I gotta say ...as a Dad to a couple teenage knuckleheads ...and also being a car guy .... YOU are a lucky S.O.B. to be able to share this hot rod car culture with Pops !!! PRICELESS DUDE !!! ...o by the way ... your videography is crazy top notch !!!! Fueling up that 32 ,,,got me thirsty 🍺⛽ !! ROCK on BRO ! Tarantino 's waiting !!!
I've got a soft spot for the Buick Nailhead engines. I got my 1st car in 1982 when I was 15 years old, it was a nice green 1966 Buick Wildcat sedan and it had the 401 nailhead engine and 3 speed automatic transmission. My dad had bought that Buick brand new and a few years after he owned it he sold it to a 'friend' on payments who crashed it in the 1st week he owned it and after that he just parked it on his farm and never paid dad another payment on it. So in 1982 my dad decided it was time to go take the car back... We used dad's welding truck, it had gin poles on it and it all happened quick, dad asked him if he intended on paying for the car, the guy said no so we hooked it up and towed it home. It took me about 1/2 an hour to get her running and wow that car had a lot of power! The crash damage was that the guy hit a tree and it needed a whole front end but it could still drive. I was a kid and when dad wasn't home I'd sneak the car out and play around on the back roads like the Duke boys haha! When I was 16 I ended up taking the body off the chassis and mounting a 36 Chevy truck cab to the Buick chassis and wow with barely any weight I was the fastest thing around! Those nailhead engines are a powerful and reliable engine and to this day I won't turn one away.
You dont know how lucky you are that you have a dad that’s into hot rods. My dad hates cars, it would have been so cool to have someone to wrench with and be mentored by as a younger guy. All my teenage wrenching days at home were spent alone.
My dad was a big car guy from the late 50s-80s and lost interest once everything went all electric. I inherited the hotrod bug and hope to work on my car with my kid in the driveway one day. Great to see the two of you working together.
All my Dad taught me about wrenching is how to hold a flashlight and get yelled at... now that I’m older, I just finished rebuild an Olds 324 rocket and Her Jetaway... Thanx Dad.
That's my dream car! Man I'd love to have a 32. I have a 35 5 window coupe that my dad has owned since 1980, when he passed i inherited it, and someday I'll have enough time and money to build it! For now I have a 68 F100 on the road to take to shows though :)
Sorry to here about you pops passing. Same story here my dad handed down his 34 to me. Was stored for 20+ years. Never preped for that. Wasted no time getting it back on the road every spare min. I got goes to her. Dad was a member of the local street rods. I used to go to meets with him . The club was in a parade once it was on my birthday . It was so cool I was 8 years old . Ever since then I wanted a Hot Rod. Thanks Dad I think you would be proud of how I have her looking on a poor man's budget.
I LOVE nailhead powered hot rods. I have a '56 Buick restored, with a completely rebuilt 322 V8 (nailhead of course). Even in that big boat it gets down the road.
My dream as a child ... the first time I saw a Hot Rod was in an American car magazine ... I remember it as if it were yesterday ... the title of the magazine was big ... Ford 1932 Hot Rod, I was 7 years old, today I have it tattooed on my arm ... it is the dream to be fulfilled ... thanks Ben for uploading this video ... it brought me memories as a child. A hug and greetings.
It is really great to see a real deal late '50s to early '60s street rod so well preserved. The nailhead really sets it off. I hope you get it street safe but dont mess with it otherwise. I'm building a '41 Ford p/u trying to capture that era but will never hit the mark like that duece!
I saw the T built on some show back then as a kid and fell in love with hot rods. Found two model T bodies shortly after and built one. Been hot rodding since with the theme of traditional style only thanks to that build. Crazy how much time has past! awesome to see it handed down to the next generation too.
this is awesome man. my grandpa just finished his 34 year build of his 34 ford. he put one of his old indycar engines in this thing from when he raced in the 70s and a ford 9 in rear. attached to a 5 speed manual and man his thing just absolutely shreds pavement i think he toned it down to just under 750 to the wheel
Cool '32. I remember seeing all of the Shifters Hot Rods back in the old days, arriving at all of the car shows. It really made a huge impact on me. Great video
Cool rods just get cooler! I once bought a junkyard 289 to swap into my first 65 Mustang. Even after having to modify and swap water pump, bell housing and several brackets, I had that thing on the road in three days. I was shocked after static timing it and turning the key. It roared to life on the first crank! Back in the poor days, these were great successes. Your videos bring back my youth!
Yes!! Love your dad’s cars! I was involved with “the over the hill gang” in San Bernardino in early 70’s. One of the first 20 members and first club branch, Pomona, 4 members. Life happens and put 36 Chevy delivery in my garage. Now 50 years later building a new car. Trying to locate a nailhead! Really hard to find one. Know one for sale?? Get more videos on putting 32 and nailhead on road! I’d love to see that thanks
Your so lucky to have this time with your dad.... Some of the best times I had with my dad was late nights in the garage getting our 78 Malibu ready for the drag strip... Those days i cherish.... Is great that you are able to record this with your dad.... Keep up the great work and get those hot rods running !
Hey Ben...being someone who saw the original Rides show, I really enjoyed this...and it was great to see Bad News again. Your camera work is terrific. All the best to you.
Very cool car! I have had the same kind of oil leak a couple of times in my life! When I saw the Stingrays I was pretty thrilled! Back when I went crazy collecting Krate bikes I had 28 bikes in all of the colors! Then I got back more into cars and only have a couple left! Your video is an inspiration to not let my Mustang sit any longer! It hasn't left the garage in about a year! Time to get it started up again!
I've watched a fair number of videos where people had issues with that oil pressure line so I decided to run copper line in my nova and I'm very glad I did!
I still have my first Hot Rod Deluxe with your dad and the club on it. First time I ever heard of the club and followed them for all these years after. When Bad News was built on TV I think you were still a baby. So again you killed another video and can’t wait to see the next. By the way met your dad at Viva Las Vegas one year. Very cordial and a wealth of knowledge. You are a lucky kid to have such a great dad.
Awesome keep up the videos! Keep both you and your dad motivated on them, it something that you two will both never forgot and will grow the history and story of the those cars
"DO IT"! You guys gotta fix the car ! Ya just can't let it set any more, she needs to "LIVE"! Man, there ain't nothing better than seeing "Old American Steel On 4 Wheels" cruising around with the driver & passenger smiling ear to ear! Love It !
I like your dad. Besides being a cool car guy with cool rides....The main reason is he has two old Fords and neither have an orange lump sbc in them. Anyone who digs nailheads, Olds, or Pontiac V8s is cool in my book. I have only seen nailheads in two Deuces, your dad's and one in Nebraska. I crack the biggest smile ever when I see an old rod without a boring, seen it eleventytrillions times, unimaginative, pos orange lump in it.
Thanks for having a Schwinn Stingray Cameo. I love your "HOT ROD" because it makes me want to watch "Hot Rod Gang" or "Dragstrip Girl". Buick Nailhead's are torque monsters for their day.
Fun video. Thanks for making it and sharing. Reminds me of my grandsons helping me on my five year 30 Model A project we finished about a year ago. I hope it was a good learning opportunity for them and a life long obsession like cars have been for me.
'32 with a '40 dash! Nice! I have a '40 myself! About to put the purchase on a '28 soon, that's been in my friends grandpa's barn for a long time.. LOL
Get it fixed up! Don't let the good old days die. It's coming back in your/my kids generation. My kids about the same age. We just fired up the T-Bucket!
G'day from West Australia, 😉 Get out the elbow grease, do the work and drive it. Have fun on the journey, then enjoy the journey down the road guy's.🙂👍👍

Great video Ben, it makes this old man's heart smile when I see you and your father working together. As usual keep up the good work.
Thanks!
True that, my boys don't share my hotrod genes..oh well
You are lucky to have a Dad into cool cars like that !
Dam right.
6:20 ahhh the typical mechanics vocabulary when something goes wrong 😂
My dad was a big car guy from the late 50s-80s and lost interest once everything went all electric. I inherited the hotrod bug and hope to work on my car with my kid in the driveway one day. Great to see the two of you working together.
What are you waiting for !?
Absolutely !
Gotta hear them runnin' !
And rollin' thunder once again !
I agree!
Tell your Dad that the garage is a dream not a disaster! Lol
Yes!! Would love to see more on this car.
Ryan.
Thanks!
Hey guys Giovanni from Philly. Nice get it back on the road. To nice to be sitting
Thanks for watching!

Good to see showing the kids alil about the business!
I LOVE nailhead powered hot rods. I have a '56 Buick restored, with a completely rebuilt 322 V8 (nailhead of course). Even in that big boat it gets down the road.
Always use a copper line on an oil pressure gauge it would be cool to see the younger guys get into these old cars
That plastic oil gauge tube can be replaced by 1/8" copper tube. Permanent fix.
My dream as a child ... the first time I saw a Hot Rod was in an American car magazine ... I remember it as if it were yesterday ... the title of the magazine was big ... Ford 1932 Hot Rod, I was 7 years old, today I have it tattooed on my arm ... it is the dream to be fulfilled ... thanks Ben for uploading this video ... it brought me memories as a child.

Awesome! And thanks!
Wish my Dad was still around, he was amazing and could fix anything
It is really great to see a real deal late '50s to early '60s street rod so well preserved. The nailhead really sets it off. I hope you get it street safe but dont mess with it otherwise. I'm building a '41 Ford p/u trying to capture that era but will never hit the mark like that duece!

Your videos bring back my youth!
Thanks and cool story!
So cool to see a young man excited about old hot rods, keep it up!!

Drive Em...Rain or Shine! Welcome Back, Survivor!
Yes!! Love your dad’s cars! I was involved with “the over the hill gang” in San Bernardino in early 70’s. One of the first 20 members and first club branch, Pomona, 4 members.

That thing's rad, hope to see more of it on the channel!
Thanks and that’s the plan!
Yep, gorgeous coupe
Bring me back guys! I know that people will watch in the future. I would like to see them going down the road.
Will do! Thanks for the support
Yes! The two of you need to get them running. Great project for the two of you to share a bonding moment together.

This why I love old cars, you can work on them simple like Lego unlike modern cars where you need a computer degree just to fix the smallest things.
I haven't seen this car since I moved my shop from Burbank. Glad you and your dad are getting it back up and going.
Old cars are super cool, but just so much work.
I’m mostly into old VW’s and have a small channel about working on them but this is cool. Subbed!
I LOVE IT!!!! Let's get it started and get it back on the road. Each day is a gift.
Have to keep this going. I would love too see more of getting this thing back on the road.
I agree!
I still have my first Hot Rod Deluxe with your dad and the club on it. First time I ever heard of the club and followed them for all these years after.

That’s awesome! Much appreciated!
That car is SWEET!!!!! Please video everything it takes to get that BAD BOY back on the road. Looking forward to it.
Thanks!
Keep yer eyes open and learn, kid....this is where it all started !
Yes, more of this. As always, dig the editing.
Much appreciated man!
That's a Hot Rod! Good to get an Old School machine back on the road.
Awesome keep up the videos! Keep both you and your dad motivated on them, it something that you two will both never forgot and will grow the history and story of the those cars
It's great to put the old cars back on the road like they were meant to do.
What a beautiful car, yes you are lucky. Nice to see your son so interested in old cars too.
"DO IT"! You guys gotta fix the car ! Ya just can't let it set any more, she needs to "LIVE"! Man, there ain't nothing better than seeing "Old American Steel On 4 Wheels" cruising around with the driver & passenger smiling ear to ear!

This takes me back to the day when these cars ruled like the McGee roadster and the Dewar coupe

Love the sound of a nailhead. Right on passing the torch, you're giving this not so youngster hope for the future.
Nice!!! Gets me inspired to start on my 32. Of course I’m going to be part of the very small club of 32 Fords with a FORD motor lol
True.
Fun video. Thanks for making it and sharing. Reminds me of my grandsons helping me on my five year 30 Model A project we finished about a year ago. I hope it was a good learning opportunity for them and a life long obsession like cars have been for me.
