A MASTER mechanic has become the unofficial king of rat rods in New Zealand, after building a series of incredible rat rod masterpieces in his home garage. David Jeffery, of Rolleston, has always had a passion for cars, but started making his own creations seven years ago, when he produced the award winning ‘BellaRat’. Named after his daughter, Isabella, the vehicle took a year to build and wowed the crowds at the 2012 Beach Hop - an annual New Zealand festival and car show where BellaRat scooped the overall prize for top car. David has since single-handedly produced five other incredible cars, including a converted Semi Truck, appropriately called ‘SemiRat’ which would lead David to yet more award success at Beach Hop 2016, where it too won the top prize. He now specializes in building rat rods - the spectacular custom cars that mix old and new parts and often emulate the hot rods of the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

I'm really happy hot rodding has come back around in fashion to it's roots.
If there were new cars to buy when GIs returned after the war they would have bought new cars.
But they built unique cars out of what they could find and created with it many different subcultures of enthusiasts for specific styles we enjoy today.
I originally as a kid wanted to become and did become a professional handlettering sign painter and pinstripper.
But that buisness became practically impossible to earn a wage doing with computer cut vinyl lettering and Basecoat/ Clearcoat automotive finishes.
I did the typical standard boring to me personally collision work for several years.
Before finally just going back to the family trade taught to me in my youth as a backup.
Still welding and machining to support the family and get our kids through university as steady work.
But have a ton of fun, meet nice folks, and make fairly good pocket money now putting stripes and faux signage on "Rat Rods"
Almost noone left around that can do it in the first place.
Let alone know the how and why signs fade over time in a certain way and can artificially reproduce a convincing patina.
Awesome creativity David !
What's even more impressive, is how supportive, encouraging, and proud, your wife is of you and your incredible labors of love !
Keep 'em comin' Sir !
Great work !
I love the mad max feel of these cars
The world needs more people like David !!!
Max would be proud👍😉
These cars are works of art. Look great.
Absolutely fantastic machines. Shame the government keeps trying to quash people's creativity. I'd happily own one of those any day versus some newer, soul-less, computer-driven chunk of plastic that the government somehow approves of. Good on you for keeping that creativity alive and turning out some great machines!!
Better than some of the cars in Mad Max Fury Road!
Marry that kind of wife! Forget the Kartrashians!
Off the chain I love this ride
Very clever fella
Bellarat good dad!
Mad Max Fury Rod

Fantastic builds, top marks for having the stamina and drive to get to the end of your projects...
Isn't a a shame even in this day and age creative people are still labeled " ridiculous, crazy, or weird "..... Don't be afraid to step outside the box... Get of your arse and do something....
Awesome cars. Unique rat rods. Great work.
Rite on !..keep on...keeping on!
I’d like to see you do a working semi rat rod

Love the work
Beautiful rats , yes indeed .
i guess he'll never have to wax them!
He reminds me of the mechanic on the first Mad Max
Awesome rigs , I would like to have 2 of them
My thoughts exactly in regard to not painting everything and leaving the history of the car showing. That is much more interesting than new paint and chrome. I built a '34 Ford chopped coupe rat-rod well before the term was coined. I remember explaining my philosophy to car people...it was something not much heard of but they seemed to understand and agree.
Oh so sweet...
NICE! A guy that builds Rat Rods without welding every piece of rusty junk he can find to it!
I would love to have 2 of them,
The man does have an artist touch alsome collection ✌. OUT
this looks like one of the vehicles from out of mad max movie
Creative made
This man deserve a tvshow!
Wow😱😱😱
I love the sedan... good job
2:13 kemppi spotted finland perkele :D
what a ridiculous rides ... best car ride is it
Страхотни идеи превърнати в реалност от метал икона,адмирации за което .Желая успехи и за напред .Поздрав от България.
Pretty cool man, I think it suits the rat rods not to be fully completed and shiny.
Ok so this I had first seen on the Snapchat story, and when the guy had said “ small block chevy” on Snapchat you had put out IN WORDS ON SCREEN, “SMALL BOX CHEVY”. For a organization that has its own social media platform, mistakes like these are laughably bad. It definitely proves that the people on this show don’t know much about cars and trucks, only the looks. Get your stuff together because the next mistake might be way more noticeable.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🏆
Nothing’s more crazier then that accent
Fantastic
Cole
Superbe !!! Wow"

Hello

The ratrods and are true kinetic art & look unique but the guys who build them all look the same.
