I'm impressed! When I first saw this build, I honestly didn't think it would look good. But now that it's coming together, I'm liking it more and more. You both do outstanding work! In Rust We Trust!
Man that Stude is sweet! I can really get a feel for the lines and size out in the driveway, Its awesome. Nice work Kerwood, thanks for sharing you two :-)
I hope Kerwood has petrolheads for neighbours that love the sound of open headers on a large v8. LOL It does sound nice and those housings for those tail lights look like they are made for it. Its coming along nicely.
I knew you boys were up to something! Lol. Those tail lights fit like they were made for it. Good job. Now he’s really gonna get the itch to finish it.!
Great video presentation, all the camera angles make for a dynamic professional looking feature. The lighting was perfect also. Actually the video was done by a professional, good job! Beautiful car by the way! However IMHO, that poor old motor had a lot of its life removed without any coolant. The cylinder walls probably are blue and the rings have lost their temper. Also, without any added rpms, the cam and piston skirts had minimum lube applied. The heads may have a little twist here and there internally. I may be totally out to lunch on this observation, but my experience in buying 'dry run' eBay engines have proven otherwise. Anyway, 1963impala2dr, I am a huge fan and admire your work and life style. Great Vid!!!!!!
the engine was never allowed to get hot.. or even overly warm. I know it appears otherwise in the video but the engine was shut off for long periods of time between starts. people dont realize that I literally had hours of footage and it took me 6 hours over two days to edit it. remember we made a run to the parts store which took 40 minutes but only about 6 seconds in the video. Old Jim built racing engines for years and years. he knows the limits but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.
Oh yeah, that's wut I'm talkin bout. That there rod is ready for sum burn outs. Congrats Kerwood, xln't job. That's a fine buggy you built. I'll bet when it was new it was probably parked in the same kind of garage too. It looks right at home.
it was trash.. . the guy selling it bragged about how good it ran when he drove the car home.. but when Jim tore it down.. it had some kind of issue.. cant remember for sure but I "think" it was a spun bearing..
How are you cooling/lubing the mechanical seal in the water pump? How are the heads remaining cool ,as much as it has ran and been revved? I'm not picking on it..., I'm genuinely curious. I'm pretty sure the thermostat housing has no hose on it .I'd be scared that the heat would bring about loose valve seats due to the dissimilar metals of the heads and the seats,with no coolant
i know you're not picking on it and when I watch the video back.. I can see how it might appear to be enough run time for concern but its all done with smoke and mirrors. I had literally "hours" of footage. It took me 6 hours over a two day span to edit all that footage and condense it down to what you see here. it was never allowed to get hot. (ol Jim knows his stuff, besides... if you knew the grip with which he holds his money, you would know he would never risk damaging his $7k investment :) The cameras were off for long periods of time while we did other things between starts.. (remember we went for a trans fluid run which took 40 minutes in real time but probably 30 seconds in the video. lol ) thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
i can tell you 2 mins of run time is to much with out cooling. when i had to drop my drive belt on my 496 8.1L to find a tapping knocking sound it would boil the colant inside in just 2mins with out the water pump turning
When this is Done (atleast as done as can be in a RatRod) this is Gonna Be 0ne Tough 0l' Car...on the Street or the Car Show's too. I think it Will Win Alot of Trophy's and Alot of Win's on the Strip, too.
i think im as excited as he is to see this thing on the road.. im down there every other day.. are you ready to drive it yet!! what did you get done today!! on and on.. haha
Mmmmm, gives me goosebumps ! 😊 Makes me think of a big Grizzly bear when it's sitting there idling............ just before it attacks ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire Naw, not really, just get started with them and can't seem to stop ! 😊 I only sleep about three hours a day so have the time to enjoy !
1963impala2dr Oh yeah it's really good video camera work all your videos are good it's like we are there right along with you at least that's how I feel your humble in the video's that's why I like to watch because you film cool stuff like from an Artist eye 👍
Way to go Kerwood the '27 is looking fine. That engine sounds great for a 502 BB if that isn't enough power I don't know what is lol Funny I always keep a small roll of baling wire in my truck just in case.
its all plumbed up now. temporally at least so it might make it to the saturday night cruis-in. if so, I'll post some pictures on my instagram if you want to check it out.. just go to waylonwire.com and click on instagram.. you dont have to download the app or anything..
haha.. yeah..probably 20 to 30 people have suggested that..nobody seems to realize that the old 1927 frame would twist up like a pretzel under the 630 lbft of torque the v12 produces.. besides, I have plans for that v12! "wink" stay tuned!
Wow, that's gr8. Jus rollin er out is exciting. Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble. Blub, blub, blub, blub. C'mon BB 502! Real good cold start!!! Hahaha, throttle? That's gr8, that's the world of rat roddin'. Rumble, rumble. Cool taillights, epic. How fun, keep up the good work. Nice video, Ken. Think he'll name it BB502. Thx, cya.
Here ya go Waylon, pluck on diss un a fer piece!! Ya all come listen ta da Epic story of the kerwood stude, Bout a hand made, chop top, rat rod wit an attitude..
no sir.. she''s tight! Kerwood bought that 502 crate brand new and had it in his stepvan that he used for work...but most of his jobs are here in town..so that engine has very few miles on it.. he sold the van and kept the engine.. boy are we glad he did!! :)
I like it! Long front end, wide stance, shortened cab? Chopped top. Not following the lowered trend. I’d massage those rear fenders to match the tires (looking from the rear) maybe leave an inch or so of rubber outside. Will it have a hood? What kind of wheels are planned? Man, so much potential and a great start. Thumbs up a$$hole. Lol (love the sign)
Love it! Kinda sounds like an old tractor I drove as a kid many years ago. Love that idle.
I'm impressed! When I first saw this build, I honestly didn't think it would look good. But now that it's coming together, I'm liking it more and more. You both do outstanding work! In Rust We Trust!
Man that Stude is sweet! I can really get a feel for the lines and size out in the driveway, Its awesome. Nice work Kerwood, thanks for sharing you two :-)
Very cool to see it move under it’s on power. Have much respect for all the camera work and editing.
Ken, Kerwoods 502 monster is nasty sounding. What an awesome build!
awesome. love the head light size tailights. he's gettin her done.
Totally COOL! Never thought of just moving the cowl back on a 4door. Love it !!!!!
It has a nice sounding idle. And plenty of room in the front of the engine it reminds me of the Munster mobile. Tails lights are beautiful.
Kerwood's the Man with that Studies! Congrats! ...Newk from Kentucky
Love how unique that thing is!
I could feel the viberation hear in Colorado....What an awesome car!!!!
I love how he stitched the back of the cab together looks awesome reminds me of the old red Barron hot wheels car 👍👍👍👍👍
I agree!!
Can't wait to see more I got to find a 454 for my truck
Love the sound !
thumbs up and shared awesome vehicle them tail light will be super
Love the sign above the garage door
Magnificent and sounds great as well
Good one lads. First drive is always awesome :D
I hope Kerwood has petrolheads for neighbours that love the sound of open headers on a large v8. LOL It does sound nice and those housings for those tail lights look like they are made for it. Its coming along nicely.
I can feel the joy from here ! Congratulations looking forward to the next exciting episode !
That old Studey just looks too cool for words!
I knew you boys were up to something! Lol. Those tail lights fit like they were made for it. Good job. Now he’s really gonna get the itch to finish it.!

Hi from New Zealand....that thing is Awesome.
Just hearing it roar to life will bring more motivation to keep a fellow keen ! Keep up the great work Jim !
What a beauty! Looks mean and sounds mean. :D Thanks for filming! :)
Oh yeah, that's wut I'm talkin bout. That there rod is ready for sum burn outs. Congrats Kerwood, xln't job. That's a fine buggy you built. I'll bet when it was new it was probably parked in the same kind of garage too. It looks right at home.
that thing is awesome, nice work!
I must've missed something, last I remember Jim had a old 70's smogger motor in the Studdy... Now it's got a 502! Cool beans.
it was trash.. . the guy selling it bragged about how good it ran when he drove the car home.. but when Jim tore it down.. it had some kind of issue.. cant remember for sure but I "think" it was a spun bearing..
"It runs and drives" !! Yep, Epic, I tell ya !! ;o)
Gotta love it, bunch of guys blowing off the yard work and honey-do's to work on the rat rod!! Giddy-up
livin the dream!! haha
what a magnificent looking monster ! You can tell this man's got great taste
Congrats to Kerwood. Must have been a great feeling :)
That thing is huge buddy! Digg it big time

Awesome camera recording and the rod is getting there
thanks for recognizing that! I spent about 5 hours editing this video
1963impala2dr Oh yeah it's really good video camera work all your videos are good it's like we are there right along with you at least that's how I feel your humble in the video's that's why I like to watch because you film cool stuff like from an Artist eye 👍
I thought it was a big ass diesel truck lol this is cool tho
I just noticed the sign on Kerwood's garage. Lol
that was a blast thanks,,
Mustie1 mustie!!
She sure sounds nice and throaty !!! Nice job
EPIC!!! 👍👍

i have a little roll of balin' waire in my little rockabilly tool box too! hehe
Yep that's being smart and prepared. That's what everyone should be doing if they have a lick of sense at all lol
well. i dont know if I have a lick of sense at all .. but I was raised in the Ozark mtns so ..carrying baling wire is in my blood. haha
I like the invisible cooling system.
its all plumbed up now. temporally at least so it might make it to the saturday night cruis-in. if so, I'll post some pictures on my instagram if you want to check it out.. just go to waylonwire.com and click on instagram.. you dont have to download the app or anything..

congrats!!.......i can see my shins all black and blue with those running board supports hangin there...lol
What a beast !!!
Congratulations! Great one!
Zoomies rule! Nice job, Jim - that thing is gonna be sick.
Holy poo poo! Just doesn't get any better than that that's one of a kind, when Wicked ride the king of the rat rods. Way cool mister
A very cool moment Ken..Love those talights
I'd bet Kerwood could fit that 12 cylinder of yours nicely on that long front end. Good video & nice Rat.
haha.. yeah..probably 20 to 30 people have suggested that..nobody seems to realize that the old 1927 frame would twist up like a pretzel under the 630 lbft of torque the v12 produces.. besides, I have plans for that v12! "wink" stay tuned!
I like it, but i like your old truck better. Would like to see the green been or blue diamond, I like all of them.
I sold the green bean about 4 years ago.. maybe more.. BUT.. i sold it with the option of getting it back! so... dont be surprised if............
Most awesome!😎
Mustered gas, that's some funny shit. Gonna get me some.
So I can see the cab has been chopped but, has it been shortened also? The frame looks really long. Looks great though and sounds awesome.
MrBeezweez Weezy. Drivers door and b piller were missing , so removed pass door and b piller. Moved cab back 30 ins
I like the profile. It kinda gives me a top fuel dragster vibe.
Wow, that's gr8. Jus rollin er out is exciting. Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble. Blub, blub, blub, blub. C'mon BB 502! Real good cold start!!! Hahaha, throttle? That's gr8, that's the world of rat roddin'. Rumble, rumble. Cool taillights, epic. How fun, keep up the good work. Nice video, Ken. Think he'll name it BB502. Thx, cya.
Lové that roar
Great video
I kinda like those garage doors
James Letaw me too I think their beautiful most people would replace them it's nice to see original details like that
That sounds like music
A day with friends is a lot better than the alternative, raising daisies
Here ya go Waylon, pluck on diss un a fer piece!!
Ya all come listen ta da Epic story of the kerwood stude,
Bout a hand made, chop top, rat rod wit an attitude..
AWESOME ! I like the invisible rad hoses.
Long run with a dry block, scary.
he was watching the temp.. this old boy has been around a long lonnnnng time.. he's not about to fry his $7,000 engine..
You mean the temp of the fluid that is not there?
Nice work
Very cool! Is there a slight miss/knock I am hearing?
no knocks in that engine.. that baby is strong!!
Awesome, I wasn't sure! That is a cool rig!
no sir.. she''s tight! Kerwood bought that 502 crate brand new and had it in his stepvan that he used for work...but most of his jobs are here in town..so that engine has very few miles on it.. he sold the van and kept the engine.. boy are we glad he did!! :)
Are those old Harley wheels on the front? This thing is really cool. Straight out of an Ed Roth cartoon.
no, they are old wire spoke ford wheels. thanks!
Awesome!!!!!
Man that's so dern cool!
Oh now I see what he's going for, it's like a stretched drag car
It reminds me of a Fiat Topolino with that skinny front end @10:20
Awesome, but I don't think the video can really convey the sound and feel of that thing running. It must be really impressive in person. 👍
That was a fun one right there!
Good times and good friends. Did you buy him the sign over his garage doors? Lol
Looking at that engine compartment makes me wonder if maybe someone's been eyeballin that V12 of yours!
right! but i have a frame that will!
I will be watching for it
Yes sir that sounds purity.
love it . good old boys . just having fun . i got a ratrod . i have more fun in it then swiss cheese. good time
i went to your channel looking for that fun rig of yours.. no video.. no pictures.. im sad lol
bet your neighbors love hearing it
Awesome
That is super sweeet!!!
Show!!!
How'd his neighbor across the fence like it?
Now that's better than s__x.....😁. Great job Kerwood
WICKED AWESOME!
Right on!!good job guys 😉
Just keep letting it run and see how hot it gets without coolant! You can always get another engine when this one fails.
that sounds like a great idea
Love It !!!! Can't wait to see him smokin the tires LOL
me too!
Man, your neighbors are going to Love you. Need some inserts in those pipes.
you may have not noticed.. but it isn't finished yet
