    That's pretty cool! The last thing I could possibly imagine would be a beetle engine and floorpan but honestly I dig it!

    The smile on your mate's face as you rode sown that lane said it all. Probably not the last car he will build either. He started with a pile of parts and stuff and now he has a running car- with a UK license plate- the MOT is no mean feat either! One man's gnarly finger at other's impressions from their couches. I vote yes to the Gambit!

    It's a VW BEATLE chassy? "That's Cheeky!" 😂 "GET'ER'DONE, URCHMAN!" The only thing missing is a TAXI sign on the roof.

    Verily, it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast(ish), than a fast car slow!

    The rat rod scene isn't really my bag but I appreciate the effort and artistic individually that goes into the build. It's a whole hell of a lot more creative than stripping the paint from the bonnet on a MK4 Golf!

    Nice one Matt…
    Rat Rods are Rat Rods… some are cool and some aren’t so cool but generally cooler than your average ‘box’ so they all get my vote!
    Thanks for having another welder competition thingy. I need one so will be buying a couple of tickets at least.. best of luck to everyone taking part.
    Sae you on the next one!’

    I thought that was a cool car! I bet tyre-squish was probably twenty percent of the suspension though!
    Not really my bag as something I'd like to own, but definitely something I can appreciate!

    • @chasevans7171
      @chasevans7171 Рік тому +3

      There is no mot rule saying you need them. Only option is an advise for "wheels protruding beyond wheelarch". Police go on "construction and use" regulations which is a different thing entirely.

  • @alexjapanski6806
    @alexjapanski6806 Рік тому

    Hey Matt, I love this beauty as much as all of your creations but something about the headlights ... can"t exactly put my finger on it, if the shape or just positioning just doesn't do the rest of the car justice, any chance to experiment on my theory? ... Maybe bullet unpolished aluminum teardrop cases like 1930's Packard length, perhaps smaller radius as when lit look big. I feel like like it's a point on this car that could use some crazy (or subtle) creativity that can make this beaut.. proportioned rod into a true masterpiece ...If you don't see it maybe Photoshop would get you to see what I am on about m8

    Q. Do you look through the steering wheel or over it.
    Q. Did you get splinters from the seats.

    Hi, very nice. What cc engine is it using as it runs very well. I have a 1200cc engine in my rat rod and can’t get it to run well at all. What wheels are they off? Thank you, Andy

    @AlteredCarbons Рік тому

    dawg... i never wanted something so bad in my life as much as i want this thing. that is the coolest rat rod looking sum bitch i ever seen. honestly it sucks living in the rust belt area's of usa. if you find something cool it has to much rust. i would have to have something shipped in from far out of state for a ok body to work on. and some times shipping can be 2-3k and that can destroy any budget when it comes to rat rods as they where always ment to be super budget rids

    ... Well I can't put into words what I think of that build...... Glad it's not your creation Matt.... I can say I hate anything VW Beetle or beetle related. Climbing in through the roof with a fuel tank in the cabin.... Very very safe not.... Awful awful thing. Looks like a weekends work in a scrap yard after 12 pints of larger... Not... LAG
