Hey Johnny, my heart goes out to you man- been there and have gone thru that! But, you know no matter what is thrown at us, Gods Love prevails!! Big Sam
I use to work at Bobs shop, I started hanging around 1987 when I was 11 years old and he managed to teach me a lot about cars as well as a lot about life in general. You may have seen me around his house working or with him at another shop. I generally picked up or delivered customers cars with him. As Bob once said to me " Life is like a canoe and everyone has a ore, but every once in awhile somebodies going to use that ore and be a fucking stroke" He hated when people flaked or kept him waiting. Thanks for sharing -Jay Wells
I built my Model A Coupe stock with my own pin striping on it. But I still meet the same kind of great people, some with stories to tell about their old Model As.
Good inspiration and uplifting........currently trying to finish my '29 a truck. i started it in 2010 and hit it hard and work took over. Kevin (NW Indiana)
People like him inspire me to follow my dreams a hot rod/daily 1978 ford f150 step side powered by a 351w and a 4 speed manual cause if he and his wife can beat cancer and keep on building then i can get past my knee problems and learn to drive stick

Cool, I know what you're talking about when you start that fresh rebuild for the first time! I've had a few and it's the same each time, I get shaky, sweaty and excited! And a little timing and fine tuning and we're tearing up the blacktop!
I'm glad that the Shifters of Southern California coined the phrase Rat Rod, built traditional Rods that lacked certain elements such as paint and/or upholstery. This was in the early 1990s, but unfortunately the movement has morphed in to something totally different. Is refreshing to see something suede but traditional. Neat Pickup
Wow. Wicked pissa ride Johnny. Looks great. It doesn't get any better. I'm from Salem , MA so we only get 6 months of good weather to enjoy our rides . I also put my project on the back burner for many years to raise a family and help with my mom after she was diagnosed. I never lost the vision of how I wanted to finish it and finally completed it last June. Check out my build on youtube (65 Tempest Restoration). I'm glad to hear your wife and yourself are well. I enjoyed watching and can relate with your story. Thanks for sharing it. "Keep on truckin"
BADASS TRUCK - MY KIDS AND I JUST GOT ON THE ROAD OUR 1939 NASH LAFAYETTE LOW ROD PROJECT CAR RUNNING - NO BETTER SOUND THAN AN ENGINE YOU BUILT WITH YOUR KIDS LITE OFF FIRST CRANK
I clicked on your Channel about the 29 Ford beautiful truck my grandfather had two of them and I stopped watching it at 2:59 when you show the Chevy engine I'm sorry but you desecrated a beautiful truck it's sad that you guys put these motors in these trucks makes no sense to me absolutely no sense all the old Fords are being desecrated with boat anchor Motors it's sad but I love the truck besides that motor
I will never understand the logic in spending thousands of dollars and countless hours building a custom car or truck, only to just trailer it around...
agree...picture is cheaper and enjoyment the same lol Trailering is more risky to an accident than driving it . SOme wanna believe they just got something special, gold plated etc. They are just nuts and bolts enjoy em before its illegal to drive these
I know they are harder to build and also more expensive. I still prefer original and obviously show cars demand original. That is why they have the Hot Rod class.
Sorry, but you're still as wrong as you were saying this at the top. I'm also doing one of these and I can say from experience "it's harder to do a hot rod (from a "real old car", that is) because it involves "restoration", engineering, fabrication, trial and error, and often doing things more than once to get it right. Original simply involves one thing___ Restoration.
Pappa Bob Sorry, I do not agree. Its not about what is harder or involves more work. Original is best unless it was a piece of junk in the beginning. To restore an antique to show room condition also takes allot of time, money and fabrication.
Jay Street Rods are harder to build then original I have both. My 1934 Chevy Sedan had good wood. I replaced cloth interior. Car not worth what I have in it original down to bird radiator cap. I bought E-bay action .8000. In my case my coupe was a much harder project with AC loaded car. Tight fit every thing . That car gave me heart burn a few times.
I prefer stock originals as well, but this is a hot rod even I could appreciate. Kudos to him for keeping the fenders and hood intact. Very tastefully done, I think fender-less cars or cars with rubber outside of the fender well are very uncool (besides being illegal in California). Look at how much better this looks! This is truly an old school hot rod with class. A breath of fresh air. Not easy making aftermarket parts work without ending up with a bucket of bolts. Safe to assume the judges at the Grand Nationals went over every detail with a microscope. You just can't even place in a competition like that with anything slopped on. This car probably received extra scrutiny.
Lot of fender less hi boy's in California for being illegal. That trucks a street rod. Not same class as original. My fender car 34 sedan original [paint}would be sold before my 3 window fender less coupe. It rides much better AC etc.
Cops just don't write fender tickets that often, but it is a law on the books. It causes spatter to get on other cars, that's why it's illegal. I'll never understand why someone would want to run a car without fenders anyway, it looks incomplete if you ask me. Don't you get tired of cleaning the road grime off the side? Fenders serve a purpose. Front license plate is another law that isn't enforced often.
What Id give to drive my El again..been 4yrs . Chronic pain term ill. Nothing better than dailying an old schooler like this man is USed to run my 69 SS Camaro to Zuma from Van Nuys every morning to ride the waves before starting the day. Nothing better than hearing that engine hum at 3k forever Drive these things guys before were told we cant. That day is coming! Always wanted an old truck like this just cant afford one

Admiring Johnny's '29 and it's style. I dig his choice of Black Suede, can you tell me what color his interior dash was done in?
I have a 354 hemi (just about finished) that'll be looking for a home soon... love these model A pickups!
Sweet ride Johnny!
Love your story brother
Cool, I know what you're talking about when you start that fresh rebuild for the first time! I've had a few and it's the same each time, I get shaky, sweaty and excited! And a little timing and fine tuning and we're tearing up the blacktop!
Thank you for sharing your vision and making you dream come true it's a sharp looking truck 👍
Nice video Johnny! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful little pick up, love it ❤️
This is what hot rodding is all about.

incredible story , incredible truck, love the black suede, thanks for sharing this , what were you stripping on the bench?
Sweet ride !!
I'm glad that the Shifters of Southern California coined the phrase Rat Rod, built traditional Rods that lacked certain elements such as paint and/or upholstery. This was in the early 1990s, but unfortunately the movement has morphed in to something totally different. Is refreshing to see something suede but traditional. Neat Pickup
I love the look, it looks a bit stock and its a clean ride.

Desecrated? Its just a truck dude relax! Hot rodding is doing it your way.
Why criticize this guy
"It wasn't received well in the Suede Palace" ? Why? Btw, it's not called the "Grand Nationals".
Beautiful, but would be better if it had a Ford motor in it!

preciosa camioneta, pero el color negro es para coches funebres . ROJO PASION.
I love this guy and not in a gay way
Why these always have Chevy engines?
Nice truck.but if you want to own a ford make it all ford!
Personally I prefer original. Takes more to make original than to slop newer parts and accessories.
Jay, I saw this car first hand and I can tell ya that nothing was slopped on to it.
Jay Street Rods are harder to build then original I have both. My 1934 Chevy Sedan had good wood. I replaced cloth interior. Car not worth what I have in it original down to bird radiator cap.

I could bet the title to my M5 that he could have had a better life without marriage and having kids.
And more money and time to spend.
