Building a new Firewall - 1939 Hudson Rat Rod Part 8
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Continuing the1939 Hudson Big Boy Rat Rod build, we first make a curved square tubing section to fit across the newly installed C4 transmission. Then we build a new firewall to allow enough space for the Ford 351 Cleveland engine.

Ahh to be 62 again. Dreams
I feel a little better! 🙂 Guess the wheel turns for all of us...
It's looking nice I like the New firewall. I hear you I'm 61 and that's a lot of work for one man and it's a labor of love and you have the time to do it right and nice. Take care. Div.
We now in SOS mode brother. Slower, Older, Smarter.😂
@@ratrodsafrica true true. I just stay one move ahead of myself to be safe. Lol. You take care of yourself and don't work to hard. I enjoy watching you do what you do great video be safe take care brother.
Good Job, you are like a wizard!
Thanks man!
I definitely need one of those over head lifts, cause I’m 65 lol
Looking Good Div. Thank you for sharing. I cant wait for the bellow suspension.
Yes, that part is going to be fun!😄
Looks good there
Nice job Div, it looks good and should add a lot of strength.
I love your firewall , and I can't wait to see how the transmission tunnel and floor pan turn out ! I can relate to what you are saying about the age thing , I am approaching 64 , my mind is the same way , but my body say's no no no you have to take it little bit at a time , like you said about mouse eating elephant lol 🙂
Thanks. Video on tunnel and floor coming on Sunday
GOOD WORK DIV, thanx for the tips and tricks
Thanks! And pleasure to share
Looks great Div!!!!👍
Thanks 👍
she`s commin right along there bro, good job

You do a weeks work in a day and say it's old age making you worn out, doing an excellent job in 1/4 of the time most can, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones, Have a Lekka one
Ah, the cheating powers of RUclips... did take me more than a day! 😂
Ah, the cheating powers of RUclips... did take me more than a day 😂
@@ratrodsafrica I realise that but the time it takes you to do a build is amazing, all the best to you
Another very enjoyable video Div , 1 man in the jungle building Ratty Rods ,, this has got to be the most manly video on youtbe ....
Glad you enjoying my journey!
This is church for me every Sunday.
😄Hoping I preach the truth 😂
Do not worship the creation, but worship the CREATOR. We will be held for our
accounts here on earth. All will appear before Christ for judgement. We were
made for one reason...to praise and glorify Christ.
@@williamoneal2763 oooooooook
Lekka Boet lekka. Less is more Diff. Looks Dam good. It Don't take away from the engine. It looks great. Your concentration of ten min welding is blowing my eyeballs out my head on my big screen. Unwatchable. It can also give people epileptic fits. You need some tinted perspex to kill the glare. Have a good one Diff. Adios.
✌
👍 lookin good, Nice work, getting there! lollipop chokers 🤣
😅
The time lapse makes for good watching but I appreciate the time you spend on the details. I like your choice of rusty metal . The panel works very well. As we say in my part of the U.S. "It looks store bought". Keep up the good work !
Thanks my brother!
Hello Diff!!! I was watching you fabricate the firewall on the 39 and heard you say that the engine was 351 Cleveland. I was wondering since you live in South Africa was it difficult for you to purchase that engine? I also wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your videos on the 39 build !!! It is going to be awesome truck!!!
Not as cheap as in the US, but there's a fair number of Clevelands, Windsors, 350 Chevy etc out here.
Look forward to seeing your progress each week. This is coming together nicely!
Thank you!
That firewall wall looks freakin' awesome Div! Love watching you do your stuff! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Div, you have a real talent for knowing what will work and what will look the best.
The whole time you were putting in that firewall, I was thinking, “he should do this or do that” and you just did you and nailed it!
You may think you’re “just” building a rat rod but you’re actually an artist making a piece of art.
Thanks brother!
Yooo! Div!! Enjoyed it. You made easy work of that firewall. The template made the real thing like a piece of cake 😃 the Hudson is coming right along!!!
Thanks boet. As you know, CAD does the trick😀
@@ratrodsafrica yess it does 😃
Hooray new video thanks diff
The metal used to make the firewall matches the truck very well. Did your it in that color? lol..
You cheer me up!
I have worked on a number of imports build with left and right brackets and connected, but if go back at the start, my guess they a latches for the bonnet? Although here, I have had right hand drive cars with similar cross-over bars used for moving brakes, clutch master and petrol controls to the left, only to operate these items from the left, while mounted on the engine side on the right. It is quite ingenious on one hand, yet confusing to see for the first time.
I sincerely hope you did not scratch the blue on the engine! Spray on rust is expensive too!
DK, Omaha.
Part of me was giggling a bit, seeing you cutting corrugated cardboard with a jigsaw. Overkill, no? But of course, my laughter was interrupted quickly, as I remember pretty recently running some carboard thru my table saw. LOL
Cheers from Canada!
😄Whatever works man! I've been running it through the table saw too before. Cuts better than a knife!
I just turned 64... I know exactly what you mean. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Nice firewall. You’re in good shape for 62.
Thanks man. Gotta stay active!
Awesome job brother. You are a rusty artist. 😂 You make it look so easy. I know it’s not.
I’m with you. My brain keeps telling me I can do all kinds of things I’ve done before, but the old body says “wait a minute buddy!” 😂
👍🏻👍🏻!!!!
Yeah man, sometimes I realize I'm the same age as old people... thats scary!😂
Div, I am one year younger than you and know exactly how you feel. Except my brain still thinks it 18 years old! 🤣🤣🤣
Div it’s coming along very well. 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.
Thank you
@@ratrodsafrica your very welcome sir. God Bless.
Mooi werk ! Op die ou end sal jy seker die vuurmuur verf. Waarlik het jy groot genot in hierdie projek, dusmee is dit nie werk nie. U vroutjie se dit is die laaste bou. Ek glo dit nie.
Hi Diff been whiching your videos and find it very interesting learning a lot of new tricks keep up the great work 2:36
Thanks for the support. Real happy if I can pass on a little knowledge 🙂
@@ratrodsafrica keep up the great work you do mate
Flip-flops seriously!! We're I'm from you would first be laughed at then immediately fired
Well, I'm the boss, so no one can fire me😂
As always a nice job. The firewall fits te look of the car well. We call them screws self tapers..
I'm a retired marine electrician. I worked in a lot of cramped, twisted spaces. When I was 59-1/2 I told my wife I didn't want to be doing it when I turned 60. Things lucked out for me. I understand the difference between what the brain says to do and what the body is willing to do. Now I can do things on a more relaxed schedule when my body agrees with my brain.
We in SOS mode now. Slower, Older, Smarter! 😄
🇺🇸🇺🇸Man diff that looks great and bud I couldn't have went through that front window lol 😆 my belly would have 100% got me stuck happy building brother 🇺🇸
Sideways?😅
va echale un vistazo a este Rat Rod Bob Builds !!
Super cool Duff. Love watching your videos.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying my stuff!
C.A.D. cardboard aided design.
🤣
Thanks for Sharing Your Old Steel Journey... Div. That's Going to Be a Beauty of a Beast. Keep Up the Great Work
Pleasure man. Thanks!
Great fabrication Diff. It's alright to work slower @60 ... You're three decades smarter than a 30yrold .. Doesn't take you as long to complete a task as would an inexperienced 30yrold. Working smarter is always better. Thanks for letting us share your day. 👍
True that! SOS mode now. Slower, Older, but Smarter! 😃
Hello Professor Div - Watching you is just so much fun. Stay well and don't push so hard. Rich / NJ / USA
Thank you, glad you enjoy Rich
Sheet metal brake ruclips.net/video/ti9IQsPEH24/видео.html , Nice to see the Freiburger Saftey Flip Flops have caught on but quit wasting Cut Off Wheels! 😀
Love my cutting wheels, they give me nice clean and accurate cuts. I buy them in bulk at around half a dollar each. Happy at that price!
I've the same problem with my brain, Boet lol. Love the firewall and the rusty metal suits it perfectly. Congrats on over 13k subscribers. Have a lekka one Div
Thanks man. Ja, dont like this getting older business...😄
Great work. Great videos to watch. Dumb question is your name Diff, Derf or Duff?
My ears are as bad as the spelling in the subtitles hahaaha
Keep on keeping on man, nailing it. Cool as it gets!!!
Thanks man! My name is Diff as in the back axle😄
This is going to a really nice Rat Rod, and will be loads of fun.
Keep jamming brother man looks good and will function perfectly!!
Thanks bro!
Great video Div !
I enjoy watching your old ass build from scratch , with minimal tools , yet mighty brain power .
Keep up the great work
Thanks brother! Glad you are enjoying
his is utube inspector #9 , lovey our videos, love your work. keep it up man.! from the white mountains new hampshire USA.
😁Thank you inspector #9!
Pleasure watching you work 👍
Great job on the firewall Div, looking real good and it does match the character of the truck. LOL I know how you feel about a 30 year old mind and a 60 year body. My nody is 67 but my mind thinks it 30ish at times.
Thanks man! Yeah man, and the scary thing is, we are the same age as old people!🙂
As always, a pleasure watchin ya work through things Div... had to laugh when you were talking about being lost, when having to follow all the lines on your cardboard template. After doing many templates for custom fabrication myself, there were many times I had to stare and go WTH?... before I regained my vision... sometimes having to retrace my steps, before I was able to see what I was looking at! Hahaha Sweet work, yep gotta respect the old bones boet 😎
Always nice to hear when someone can relate to the small challenges!🙂
Looking great, I'm behind you 100% I will be 60 this year. I wish my hands and budget could keep up with my mind
Yeah man, aligning mind, body and budget is a challenge!😃
Hey Div. Good video. It sure is a lot of frigging around getting things done. But it's all fun. If it wasn't fun, we wouldn't do it. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
Thanks man. Yes a LOT of frigging around!😃
Great video Div!
These projects keep us young!
Stay at it my friend and looking forward to the next one!
Greetings from the states.
Thanks brother!
Div . You're a living legend, I hope I will make it as far as mossel Bay during my visit from England 👍👍👍
Come visit if you do!
From one old man to another you are doing a great job. Love your attitude and videos. Oh, you're really good at math too. Better then me for sure. BTW, I'm 65 and need to start on my 1930 model A. Keep up the good work.
Thanks brother! Get going on that 1930, helps to keep us alive man 😄
Hello mate. The one thing I know is, if I were to film my welding. I would get a lot better at it. I've always counted on the grinder. And doing my welding in private. Like something else I'm embarrassed by. Great work friend. This one will be as amazing as the other works of art in the background.
Haha, yes welding in front of a camera is a great motivator to be better!😄
Looking good . If your 62 yrs old . Id love to know what yoga classes your taking cuase your more flexible then me and im 40 years old .
😄Only Yoga is running around in the shop as much as possible!
I’ve never seen anybody get as much out of cut off blades as you!! Ha! You’re definitely a magician with everything you do.
I like to get value for money😄
This rig is really turning out nice I’ve been enjoying your content brother! Much love from TEXAS
Thanks brother, glad you are enjoying!
Nice progress, will soon be yard driving.
Hey Div,
Very cool video. You have given me a good idea. Get the cab in good enough shape to set on the frame, then figure out where my engine needs to set. Once I have that, then I can finish the cab. My project like yours, the cab floor is kind of been attached by the tin worms(rust) and a little accident of me trying to move it by myself and folding one of the doors in half(which finding a replacement took some time), so once I get the doors opening a closing I can kick the project into high gear. Thanks for all of your great ideas, can't wait to see what you do next.
Bart
Yes, gotta get the cab on the frame first, just to see how things will work out.
Coming together quickly cant wait to see the next one
Div, the firewall is coming out great. I truly enjoy seeing your vision made into metal. Good work sir!
Thank you very much!
Man Duff, you are do-Y-ing yoga man , and sixty two oh boy I thought twisting my 65 yr body under ol rusty vw vans was tuff ! loved this one it was fun ! and BTW oh that means by the way :0 what gasses do you use on your welder ?
Thanks man. Gotta keep the old body moving, otherwise it will rust too!😄 I use a gas called Argoshield 5. Oxygen 2%. Carbon Dioxide 12%. Argon Balance. Its what I can get here.
Great content , enjoy your vids. Can I ask where to get those body mount rubbers you used a few vids back when you mounted the cab ? This will be a cool looking truck for sure Div .
Found them in a local store selling rubber parts.
Great job Duff. I like watching your videos.
Thanks boet! 👍
Man wouldn't it be nice to have a pipe bender. Your pie cuts to get the radius was a good instruction.
I know what you mean about the brain and the body I was going to cut 2ton of wood today and only managed 1, glad I stopped, this guy was building a fire wall on RUclips.
😃 One ton is good going man! Cutting wood is hard work...
Strongs Div💪Build is coming along lekke... Have a blessed week a head 🙌
Thanks boet. Same there
That's a great looking job Div, maybe you should think about doing that as a hobby, your pretty good at it,, nice work buddy
Thank you boet.
Luv your show really missed when you didn't post couple weeks ago. So what do you do when you're done with a build ? Sell them off?
If the price is right... but not stressed...
Love your work matey coming along nicely thanks for sharing Div, What an inspiration and intellect
Thanks brother! Real happy if I can inspire!
I enjoyed your video again, I'm thinking you cheated us of the fun and humor of hearing the names of the tek screws or shelter screws or whatever they are called in your parts. Thank you always fun to watch keep them coming
Glad you enjoyed. They called tek screws here as well!
I'am 75 breaks are the best,,,,,loving the build -
Respect brother! Thanks.
The truck will be a rare gem when finished.
At 69 it's difficult for me to get my boots on sometimes. I oftentimes think I started too late on my 69 Chevy truck project. A little at a time is all I'm good for.
Never too late man! Just SOS mode now. Slower, Older but Smarter! 😄
Anyone who has ever experienced a blob of molten weld splatter that burned a path into their safety boot would never judge a man for welding while wearing sandals.
Finally! A man who understands how these things work!😂
Really nice job on the firewall .... What is the old saying " the mind is willing , but the body is not " be cool and Build On
Thanks boet. Yes man, the bloody gap between the mind and the body is increasing!😄
Love watching your videos, all the best from the UK.
Thanks mate!
well done diff nice work man ship i have the same problom has you being 68 yrs old my body and joints are worn out but we still carry on love wacthing you work can not wait for your next vidio
We gotta keep going man! Otherwise them joints will rust out! 😄 Just slower now...
It's old it was a Hudson. Now it's gonna be a Hudfather! Excellent talent!
Haha! Thanks!
What a lekka journey this is turning out to be Div and the Hutson. I can not wait for the next video boet. Take care and keeping on rusting.
Thanks boet. Take care your side too.
A guy in US wears flip flops like you during builds only you two so far that i have seen. "Sleeperdude" on RUclips...
Another dude with happy feet! 😁
If your happy, that's the main thing 🍺, looks good 👍🇨🇦
Thanks. Always happy when I'm in the shop🙂
Enjoyed watching. Keep up that awesome work.
Glad you enjoyed brother.
We call them self-papping screws.
Excellent work!
Thank you!
Lekka work again!
Thanks boet!
Piece by piece the puzzle is coming together
hay duff it am waching you looking real good but check out trans hole mite be to small need hand room around trans hooking up stuff
Dont worry, I'll trim it to right size when I build the tunnel
That's one of the nicest fabrication job's I've seen for a while!!!!
Thank you very much!
Your doing great work! Always a pleasure to watch your videos
Thank you! Cheers!
I dig it! Man I wish I could still sit cross leg on the floor.
Did you build the bead roller?
Nope, the bead roller is one of those cheap Harbor Freight style versions. I just added a wheel in place of the crank handle. And been thinking about other mods forever...😄
Once again others have stolen my thunder and said what I would have 😂 ⚡️
Bastards! 😂
Really nice work. Waiting for the next video.👍
Thanks a lot 😊
First i hopp this vid is good!
(Ofc its good!) do you have any welding tips?
Best welding tip is KEEP TRYING!🙂
Mooi Div , ek verwag my cab hierdie naweek . Jou video was baie insiggewend en ek het dit erg geniet . Go Div !!!!
Exciting times! Dankie boet.
Great episode Diff..👍👍😎💪💯.
Bob n myself will be doing the firewall on the 30 coupe pretty soon.
