- I believe that I got a deal. I bought a used hot rod and this is what happened. Lots of issues to look out for and lots to fix on this one. In this video we will take a look at what it will need to be fixed and road worthy to use.

Hey Spanky. Now that is a cool ride. I would love to have one like that.
Man, those welds would not hold no matter what. They were just sitting on the metal. No penetration at all.
I like it the way it is, but I would like to see it in bark cherry. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
Yes welds didn’t look good, great color choice. Thanks brother.
Sharp looking truck! The rubber all going bad,what a pain, not so much the work but sourcing the parts.
Yes, thanks for watching.it will be 100% soon
Chinese rubber.
@arthurtirrell661 rubber trees
It looks like it was a nicely done build.
It was all in all. Just a few fixes from sitting with out use. Thanks for stopping by brother
Great Looking Ride Spanky 👍👀👍
Thanks buddy
My favorite color.
,Looks great Good luck to you.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
Great pick up street rod 👏👏I love it
It’s going to be fun once it’s dependable. Thanks for watching my friend
Leave the colour like it is but add some metal flake - make it sparkle! Also spend more time on the front end - bushings and shock mounts - should be good to go.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. It will be great soon
I don't know man I build hot rods for a living and I'm going to tell you something that well looks like crap if I was you I'd check every weld on there that's your life you're talking about
I have looked at them all and they look great. The past owner redid his own shock mounts and didn’t do a great job on those welds. Thanks for watching. BTW: where do you work? Just curious if we know each other? Thanks for watching
-Spanky
Spanky you have to show a bad world and a good weld with paint on it to help people out who don't know
@winfordtice1969 haha maybe so. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
@@winfordtice1969 Surprising how many dont.
First thing on a modded or tubbed car is I check the welds and how it was done. Car is passable or unsafe junk
Umm.. well & world equals weld in these comments. Gotta put those deduction skills to work here. Like you & ur transmission guy did Sparky. Comin along. Like another guy said, a blackish burgundy would look sharp or just drive as is. 😎👍
That's a real cool pickup, I'm not much of a paint guy so I would leave it the way it is. Take care.
I believe I like the way you think! And very budget friendly choice.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts.

Yes painting means just taking it all apart again, just drive it as is once all the safety features are all gone through.
I used to be a shinny paint job guy when I was in my younger year's.
Now I'm just if the windows and wheels are clean then I'm ready for cruising 👍🏽
Going through similar issues with a '66 Nova SS that I bought with "opinion" of another Nova guy in a different part of the country. The car was supposed to be good, all the issues worked out. Immediately had to put a clutch in the thing, the seller/builder put a long throw out bearing in instead of a short one like early Chevy II's use, making a brand-new clutch glaze and slip like crazy. In comparison, other issues with the car are minor, to be fixed and driven as time and money come along. (In a month, I've already been offered $15K more than I paid. It's close to my high school ride so I'm not selling it.) The other thing that I have encountered buying any used Hot Rod is certain people have a tolerance level for what they are willing to fix or get the bugs ironed out! Then there are the "Flippers", just after a buck. Some are honest; others make a used car salesman look like a preacher boy! LoL!
Haha good points. Yep keep your nova. This thing are hard to find and pricey. Thanks for watching buddy
Looks great Black! 👍😎👍
Thanks Kev. It will be this way for a while.
I like black, but the light blue on the Stone, Woods, and Cook Willys is another of my favorite colors. I think it was a 50s Caddy color.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
I have a 2018 Tundra. It is a special black with blue, gold and silver metallic in paint. Far and away the finest black out there. No comparison.
I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing this and for watching
Hey Mike great video, sure is a sweet ride, just a lot of little stuff from sitting, but a really good find, be looking forward to the drive after some of the things get fixed😀😀
Can't wait to enjoy it. Thanks for watching buddy
It looks like your weather has improved! That's good. We are still enjoying unseasonably warm weather here in MN. Wednesday was 54 degrees. A year to date before that was -38 degrees below zero. A 92 degree improvement! Looking good! Keep up the good work.
Wow huge swing in a year. Thanks for watching brother
How do you deal with that cold I could never get used to that. Heater broken in my house it was in the 50s last week that was cold enough lol
@@gordocarbo Lol. It's amazing what you get used to. I can't handle the summer heat down south. When I come south in the winter, I'm the guy in shorts and a T-shirt in 50 degree weather. Ha ha.
@gordocarbo haha that’s not cold. But I hate cold weather also. Thanks for watching
Good looking Hot Rod Truck, get it dialed in and drive it .💯🆒
Yes sir, that’s the plan. No extra funds for a full build. Thanks as always for your support brother.
-Spanky
very kool ep! what a sweet ride!
Thanks Johnny, going to be better soon
-Spanky
Just a note what a cool truck !!
Thanks so much.
I like the black but you could go burnt orange. Get rid of the 15 Year old tires. Don't take a chance on them. Not worth it.
Your correct about the tires. If you follow the channel then you know I love burt orange. That’s what’s on the other 32 roadster. Maybe a great choice for the truck also. Thanks for watching and please keep the thoughts coming.
-Spanky
Had one blow out on me test driving it 100 yrds from the driveway 15 mph
Seller gave me a hard time when i pointed it out (pre test drive) then wanted me to replace it haha. Seen cars wreck, take out 1/4 panels etc from cheap owners just happened to a friend of mine in a 31 Model A. 14x32 M/T bought them in the 80s Only thing connecting his car to the road and dont care. wow
Great video Mike! I love the exhaust 😂As far as the paint goes, it looks good from here! But it might look better with some real flames on it! Thanks for sharing brother!👍🏽
Thanks brother, not painting it anytime soon. But I’m going to build the exhaust better.
Cars from this era can pull off flames...but they are kinda dated, passe. Must be an age thing
I like The semi-gloss hot rod black. I'm thinking just a traditional hot rod color though. Well spanky it's going to take another cup of coffee before I can figure it out. I'll get back to you. 🫣
Haha I understand how the coffee helps. Thanks buddy
Looks alright but the hot rod black thing is so played out...Love shiny paint or flat? Old school charcoal grey
Right on , very cool 👋🏻
Thanks for checking in brother.
-Spanky
Check all the welds NO Penetration
Yes. Everything is good but the shock mount that the past owner installed. Thanks for watching and commenting
sale it to me ! Color is fine leave it alone
Haha going to keep it for awhile, thanks for watching
I would make it rain worthy just in case run into rain and drive/cruise it to many shows and just have fun with it. Put up for 20 year's way to long that's just saying it's going to be a hand me down ride for some young guy to enjoy it.
Yes, great points. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
-Spanky
It dawned on me today most of my cars on my channel are 100 years old the newer ones are the 1963 dodge the 1963 Chevy,and the 1951 jeepster with the Chevy engine.
Crazy isn’t it, we just dig the old stuff don’t we? Thanks for watching brother
-Spanky
I would paint it very glossy black
That’s a great option. It wears black well. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
-Spanky
I’ve always liked grabber green, bonus it’s a ford color.
Nice color, thanks for sharing your thoughts and support
-Spanky
I think it's a great truck
I’m enjoying it. Thanks for watching
Nice truck but when buy a classic rod antique or other car that's been biult you need check there standard of quality
Very true, I knew exactly what I was getting and willing to do what it took to fix. I got what I paid for. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
-Spanky
Very cool little pickup Spanky, the black and chrome looks pretty awesome! What’s the plan for it, new parts picker upper shop truck?
I like the way you think buddy. Just could be. Thanks for the visit
She's a sweet machine ❤
Thanks for watching and sharing your comments.
-Spanky
You have plenty of room in the engine bay but I guess the only way is up. High rise manifold and twin four barrels. Don't bother painting it but you could add something, an ace of spades or something small. Oh and a sign on the rear telling fools to Back Off.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms Seen many that were actually painted with a brush back in the day even 60s it was common .
Id have to do something with lots of metal flake
@gordocarbo nice color with flakes 👍
Looks good as is
Thanks for watching
I'd do NOTHING to the paint... pick your battles. Fix what needs it...and drive/enjoy it.
That’s the plan for now. No extra time or money to do much more. Thanks buddy
Usually if steering wheel shakes it’s a tire maybe two , tie rods which control steering so check all the links to the steering wheel etc. btw if ya need a hood you can always make one out of plastic stuff plexiglass
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
If it sat for 15 yrs he has flat spots...really shouldnt drive on them at all .Brake hoses, anything rubber, fluids needs to be redone
Mint metallic green with candy green
Good choice. Thanks for watching
I would paint it BLACK OH IT'S ALREADY DONE
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I like it too
Hello, Nice Truck ! I am building one just like it. I was wondering if you would tell me how wide the doors are and also the body section behind the doors. Thanks so much !
Please remind me if I don’t respond back soon. I’m not home right now and will be back soon. Thanks for watching
Hi, you said to remind you shortly about the cab measurements. Thanks so much !@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
@@camcutcnc doors are 26” long the rear side cab is 19” the front cowl area is 13” total @58-59”
Thanks so much !@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
like that truck
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Anutter nice 1 buddy
It’s a keeper Don. Adding it to the heard
Now that funny -Keeper ?@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
Cool rpu 👍
Thanks for watching
Hi, do you know who made top and the roof bows ? Thanks
This top is a “Rod Top” however I’m building a top on this channel from scratch for my orange roadster. Please check it out. It will go in the trunk when not used. Thanks for watching
I will check that out. Your orange roadster is pretty sweet !! I have been working my way through all of your videos. Great channel !!@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
Hi , your door hinges are silver. Are they aluminum ? Thanks
Yes they are aluminum, not sure who’s product they are.
Thanks, I think I will cast some and see how it works out. I think it will be fine as the roadster pickup has really light doors.@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
Give it a brake fluid change.
Yes. It looks good but I’m going to flush it out. Thanks for watching
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms Those tires got to go in the trash way too old to be used .
NO! Edelbrocks are an horsepower delete add on. Nothing fast runs an Edelbrock.
Thanks for watching, not trying to run fast but just reliable.
Silver
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
Candy apple green
That would be pretty. Thanks for watching
Hot rods have 3peddles,
I have some of both and all fun to drive.
A body a built it.
Thanks for watching
Drive the wheels of it
Yes that is the plan. Thank you for watching and sharing
Don’t use urethane bushings.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts but they are good to use. Last around 20-25 years and work well.
leave it black and pin stripe it
Yes, sounds like a plan. Thanks for watching
I would look at every weid on that car because that weld had no integrity at all , also just wondering is that a fiberglass body it looked like it under the fender well not that it matters but its worth a lot less if it is
Thanks for watching. Yes I’ve looked it over and everything is great except the front shock mounts that the past owner changed. It’s glass and is worth what the next guy will pay. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
