Love these videos. I’ve been following the choppers since I was a kid. I had a movie with them and Ian Roussell and Keith Weesner And a bunch of people. Super cool that you’re making videos now and we get to see the old cars.
Definitely More Hot Rod stuff. I currently own an old mustang and I wanna get into the Hot Rod scene. Thats how I found you over a year ago when you had 2k subs. Heading to TROG this weekend. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽
Yo Big Ben ! I gotta say ...as a Dad to a couple teenage knuckleheads ...and also being a car guy .... YOU are a lucky S.O.B. to be able to share this hot rod car culture with Pops !!! PRICELESS DUDE !!! ...o by the way ... your videography is crazy top notch !!!! Fueling up that 32 ,,,got me thirsty 🍺⛽ !! ROCK on BRO ! Tarantino 's waiting !!!
I've got a soft spot for the Buick Nailhead engines. I got my 1st car in 1982 when I was 15 years old, it was a nice green 1966 Buick Wildcat sedan and it had the 401 nailhead engine and 3 speed automatic transmission. My dad had bought that Buick brand new and a few years after he owned it he sold it to a 'friend' on payments who crashed it in the 1st week he owned it and after that he just parked it on his farm and never paid dad another payment on it. So in 1982 my dad decided it was time to go take the car back... We used dad's welding truck, it had gin poles on it and it all happened quick, dad asked him if he intended on paying for the car, the guy said no so we hooked it up and towed it home. It took me about 1/2 an hour to get her running and wow that car had a lot of power! The crash damage was that the guy hit a tree and it needed a whole front end but it could still drive. I was a kid and when dad wasn't home I'd sneak the car out and play around on the back roads like the Duke boys haha! When I was 16 I ended up taking the body off the chassis and mounting a 36 Chevy truck cab to the Buick chassis and wow with barely any weight I was the fastest thing around! Those nailhead engines are a powerful and reliable engine and to this day I won't turn one away.
All my Dad taught me about wrenching is how to hold a flashlight and get yelled at... now that I’m older, I just finished rebuild an Olds 324 rocket and Her Jetaway... Thanx Dad.
You dont know how lucky you are that you have a dad that’s into hot rods. My dad hates cars, it would have been so cool to have someone to wrench with and be mentored by as a younger guy. All my teenage wrenching days at home were spent alone.
My dream as a child ... the first time I saw a Hot Rod was in an American car magazine ... I remember it as if it were yesterday ... the title of the magazine was big ... Ford 1932 Hot Rod, I was 7 years old, today I have it tattooed on my arm ... it is the dream to be fulfilled ... thanks Ben for uploading this video ... it brought me memories as a child. A hug and greetings.
I saw the T built on some show back then as a kid and fell in love with hot rods. Found two model T bodies shortly after and built one. Been hot rodding since with the theme of traditional style only thanks to that build. Crazy how much time has past! awesome to see it handed down to the next generation too.
I LOVE nailhead powered hot rods. I have a '56 Buick restored, with a completely rebuilt 322 V8 (nailhead of course). Even in that big boat it gets down the road.
Your so lucky to have this time with your dad.... Some of the best times I had with my dad was late nights in the garage getting our 78 Malibu ready for the drag strip... Those days i cherish.... Is great that you are able to record this with your dad.... Keep up the great work and get those hot rods running !
this is awesome man. my grandpa just finished his 34 year build of his 34 ford. he put one of his old indycar engines in this thing from when he raced in the 70s and a ford 9 in rear. attached to a 5 speed manual and man his thing just absolutely shreds pavement i think he toned it down to just under 750 to the wheel
Cool rods just get cooler! I once bought a junkyard 289 to swap into my first 65 Mustang. Even after having to modify and swap water pump, bell housing and several brackets, I had that thing on the road in three days. I was shocked after static timing it and turning the key. It roared to life on the first crank! Back in the poor days, these were great successes. Your videos bring back my youth!
Cool '32. I remember seeing all of the Shifters Hot Rods back in the old days, arriving at all of the car shows. It really made a huge impact on me. Great video
It is really great to see a real deal late '50s to early '60s street rod so well preserved. The nailhead really sets it off. I hope you get it street safe but dont mess with it otherwise. I'm building a '41 Ford p/u trying to capture that era but will never hit the mark like that duece!
My dad was a big car guy from the late 50s-80s and lost interest once everything went all electric. I inherited the hotrod bug and hope to work on my car with my kid in the driveway one day. Great to see the two of you working together.
That's my dream car! Man I'd love to have a 32. I have a 35 5 window coupe that my dad has owned since 1980, when he passed i inherited it, and someday I'll have enough time and money to build it! For now I have a 68 F100 on the road to take to shows though :)
Sorry to here about you pops passing. Same story here my dad handed down his 34 to me. Was stored for 20+ years. Never preped for that. Wasted no time getting it back on the road every spare min. I got goes to her. Dad was a member of the local street rods. I used to go to meets with him . The club was in a parade once it was on my birthday . It was so cool I was 8 years old . Ever since then I wanted a Hot Rod. Thanks Dad I think you would be proud of how I have her looking on a poor man's budget.
Very cool car! I have had the same kind of oil leak a couple of times in my life! When I saw the Stingrays I was pretty thrilled! Back when I went crazy collecting Krate bikes I had 28 bikes in all of the colors! Then I got back more into cars and only have a couple left! Your video is an inspiration to not let my Mustang sit any longer! It hasn't left the garage in about a year! Time to get it started up again!
I still have my first Hot Rod Deluxe with your dad and the club on it. First time I ever heard of the club and followed them for all these years after. When Bad News was built on TV I think you were still a baby. So again you killed another video and can’t wait to see the next. By the way met your dad at Viva Las Vegas one year. Very cordial and a wealth of knowledge. You are a lucky kid to have such a great dad.
Thanks for having a Schwinn Stingray Cameo. I love your "HOT ROD" because it makes me want to watch "Hot Rod Gang" or "Dragstrip Girl". Buick Nailhead's are torque monsters for their day.
Yes!! Love your dad’s cars! I was involved with “the over the hill gang” in San Bernardino in early 70’s. One of the first 20 members and first club branch, Pomona, 4 members. Life happens and put 36 Chevy delivery in my garage. Now 50 years later building a new car. Trying to locate a nailhead! Really hard to find one. Know one for sale?? Get more videos on putting 32 and nailhead on road! I’d love to see that thanks
Hey Ben...being someone who saw the original Rides show, I really enjoyed this...and it was great to see Bad News again. Your camera work is terrific. All the best to you.
"DO IT"! You guys gotta fix the car ! Ya just can't let it set any more, she needs to "LIVE"! Man, there ain't nothing better than seeing "Old American Steel On 4 Wheels" cruising around with the driver & passenger smiling ear to ear! Love It !
Awesome keep up the videos! Keep both you and your dad motivated on them, it something that you two will both never forgot and will grow the history and story of the those cars
I like your dad. Besides being a cool car guy with cool rides....The main reason is he has two old Fords and neither have an orange lump sbc in them. Anyone who digs nailheads, Olds, or Pontiac V8s is cool in my book. I have only seen nailheads in two Deuces, your dad's and one in Nebraska. I crack the biggest smile ever when I see an old rod without a boring, seen it eleventytrillions times, unimaginative, pos orange lump in it.
I've watched a fair number of videos where people had issues with that oil pressure line so I decided to run copper line in my nova and I'm very glad I did!
Fun video. Thanks for making it and sharing. Reminds me of my grandsons helping me on my five year 30 Model A project we finished about a year ago. I hope it was a good learning opportunity for them and a life long obsession like cars have been for me.
'32 with a '40 dash! Nice! I have a '40 myself! About to put the purchase on a '28 soon, that's been in my friends grandpa's barn for a long time.. LOL
Dig your films Ben. Your dad and his club are huge inspiration for me. Get that deuce on the road! That magazine cover changed my life forever. Love the added sound effects. Keep Up the good work
You and your dad are cool. Your garage is beautiful. What we saw here is what exactly happens while working on a hot rod. Brings back great memories. You gave a new subscriber. Thanks. 👍😎
G'day from West Australia, 😉 Get out the elbow grease, do the work and drive it. Have fun on the journey, then enjoy the journey down the road guy's.🙂👍👍
These rods deserve a second chance at life. It would be so much fun to take them to shows after you get them going. Talk about time machines! Clean 'em up, fix 'em up and drive them like you stole 'em! Good luck with them guys and keep the videos coming. Subscribed!
Get it fixed up! Don't let the good old days die. It's coming back in your/my kids generation. My kids about the same age. We just fired up the T-Bucket!
Awesome! Your Dad has some awesome cars and of course I love your Mustang! Can't wait to see these hot rods running again. I remember seeing Bad News in a video about the Chopper car club a long time ago.
Definitely your most artsy fartsy video yet!! You and dad are inspiring me to get working on the Bricklin, nah, only been 5 years since started, so I got a few years to go!

Much appreciated man!
your dads a savage I bet he's got a lot of experience and knowledge on the rods
Haha thanks dude!
The Kahan Deuce, Bad News and Schwinn Stingray's, this vid gets 5 outta 5 Stars!!! Plus makes me inspired to get my deuce back on the pavement.
Thanks and awesome!

Great video Ben, it makes this old man's heart smile when I see you and your father working together. As usual keep up the good work.
Thanks!
True that, my boys don't share my hotrod genes..oh well
My dad just yell at me and all I was doing was holding the flash light lol
Haha!

I’m happy now
Thanks for watching!
Four Speed Films thanks for making these videos!
You are lucky to have a Dad into cool cars like that !
Dam right.
What are you waiting for !?
Absolutely !
Gotta hear them runnin' !
And rollin' thunder once again !
I agree!
All my Dad taught me about wrenching is how to hold a flashlight and get yelled at... now that I’m older, I just finished rebuild an Olds 324 rocket and Her Jetaway... Thanx Dad.

Drive Em...Rain or Shine! Welcome Back, Survivor!
You make me want a Model A/B now. Just what I need another project. Bad ass video as always Ben!
Thanks dude! And I know right haha

He sure has a lot of them!
Guys go for it the videos are so cool I'll be checking them out !!
Its awesome looking back at those old magazines your dad was featured in with his crew! 😎
Glad you liked it!
Old cars are super cool, but just so much work.
I love these “will it run “ type vids
Thanks!
do it. You have a natural ability for making good films, and your Dad has great subject matter for said films. Plus it'll be cool as shit.
Much appreciated!
WOW!! I thought I was the only one to use blue masking tape to label wires and stuff. Now I don't feel so all alone! Good video!!
Haha! Thanks!
I’m mostly into old VW’s and have a small channel about working on them but this is cool. Subbed!
This why I love old cars, you can work on them simple like Lego unlike modern cars where you need a computer degree just to fix the smallest things.
Love nailheads! Still have to pick mine up. Going in a 62 Ranchero
Your videos are getting better and better
Thanks!
Awesome video man !
There’s no better company than father and son🔥👍🏻🚘
it isn't leaking, it's marking it's territory!
That driveway belongs to the Ford now.
These rods deserve a second chance at life. It would be so much fun to take them to shows after you get them going. Talk about time machines! Clean 'em up, fix 'em up and drive them like you stole 'em! Good luck with them guys and keep the videos coming. Subscribed!
I love the 32's best rods ever especially the 5 Windows make videos around 20+ minutes great start great vid
Get it fixed up! Don't let the good old days die. It's coming back in your/my kids generation. My kids about the same age. We just fired up the T-Bucket!
you have a cooler dad than most! js
Awesome! Your Dad has some awesome cars and of course I love your Mustang! Can't wait to see these hot rods running again. I remember seeing Bad News in a video about the Chopper car club a long time ago.
Thanks for the support!
Awesome video dude loved it! Keep them coming
Much appreciated!
You guys wouldn’t be going to the NHRA hot rod reunion in Bakersfield this month would you?
I love these videos. I have been waiting forever to see that car run. It's such a badass coupe and can't wiat to see it driving
Thanks!
THANKS...IM SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS CAR AGAIN.....LEGEND
