Lol 😆 I don't know how much trouble it might cause ya Bob , but in order to accomplish that you'll need to pass out some business cards for hot, young, willing to learn, female free welder helper lessons.. then class will really be in session 😂 true that !
@@petesscrapheapgarage3130 Ha haa ... they don't actually need to know or learn how to weld right? As long as they can hold a welding lead and look hot doing it! No honestly ..... I see some guys have to have a hot chick on screen in order to get views .... I'll shut down my channel first!
@@RatRodBobBuilds you got that right just look at that unstoppablemoran she's just been riding around with dogs living in a bronco for a year with 200k subscribers 😂 I think she maybe tack welded once or twice 🤣 made $100K in one month then blowed it all on nothing
actually my favorite auto build channel for several reasons. i think you are pure natural genius, and i have learned a lot. as a retired auto painter i know the dangers of modern paint materials. i'd like you to be able to stay healthy for many years to come, and would also love to make the trek to visit you in person if that is ever possible. i beg you to use a respirator when spraying paint, so you'll be healthy when i get there. you are my hero!
The sun visor looks righteous! Bob certainly knows this, but for you others, with a catalyzed paint, if you've put in the catalyst, but you have lots of leftover and are going to paint the next day, put it in an old refrigerator, not one you put your food in!!! And it will keep a few days, certainly overnight. Let it come back up to ambient temperature before using. Bob, when I "weather" model railroad cars (nothing is shiny on the railroad) I do similar to what you did with the black, and it not only adds to the age/patina/grime, but really brings out the details on panel lines, rivets, and other surface detail.
@@RatRodBobBuilds Bob, we did that at work with Jones-Blair Acrylithane, which was a catalyzed polyurethane chemical resistant paint. You can find an old working fridge. Don't put your lunch or any food items in that fridge, use it only for paint. I think the paint, at normal temps, 70-90*F had a pot life of about four hours. We'd keep a gallon mixed for painting smaller subassemblies, think motor size stuff, as we'd rebuild these items, so we could make a gallon of paint go two days. This paint comes not a full gallon. Open and mix. There is still room to add a pint of the hardener, and a little thinner. Then it is just right to paint. Thinner... they called it "Reducer", and there were fast, medium, and slow reducers available. Another trick was to add about 50% extra hardener, which would make it a really hard shiny finish.
It's an old truck with new paint, you're just getting the paint to catch up with the truck or degress to the truck...I like it. Thanks for letting me hang out in the shop with you.
Glad you did red cause now it opens up a million possibilities. Simple yet amazing. Some guy might just pay you for something like that, and believe your just about a genius and artist. Man we can fool em huh. Lol kidding "Bawb". Thanks for ideas and your time.
Wow! This technique on the truck is perfect. I’m hoping you do something more like this than just black and silver like charolette got on your current build! I gotta say, that is likely one of the most involved paint jobs I’ve seen yet!
Professor, you are a true artist. I am amazed by your skill & knowledge... please don't stop giving me lessons in that highly classified rat rodology. Appreciate ya. You definitely gettin' it done!
That black lays in those crevices like 80 yrs of road grime, absolutely beautiful work Bob. This is a hell of a go around for a one man show, loving every single episode. Stay safe brother.
I like the black paint idea but you need to spray silver on your rag and go over the burgundy and black paint . That will bring it all together I think. It would look cool if you did the firewall spray a good amount of black on it and drag plastic upward over it it leaves a beautiful effect or silver would work. I love your channel. Keep up the great work and God Bless 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌
Hey hey... Love it! I'm Currently Working on a '53 Ford Truck Cab. I'm Going to Make it a Mock Armored Bank Truck the Box/Van will be made out of Fiberglass with a Wooden Skeleton
Thanks for your support Gary but hold on a sec ... Bad Chad was one of many that inspired me to start cutting up metal and slinging sparks to start with. He's gotta nice following and they work hard for it. But I do agree with Chad that his latest one is a little controversial. But if you look around ... controversial exposure is exposure. @WhistlinDiesel comes to mind!
Bob I've watched a lot of your builds. This one is different, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The frame and engine looks like one of those paintings you can't tell if it's a photo or a picture. I like the look a lot. Keep up the great work.
You do great work Bob. I totally enjoy watching you create artwork with metal , a little paint and a lot of creativity. You've ionspired me to do similar affects on my 51 Ford pickup.
I got the same truck Bob, I really like that you put the visor on it. It gives it attitude. Ive been watching every episode to see how your coming along. Looks cool. You really need to call out Casandra Peterson for Red though, Shes a cool chick.
**** Hey Bob, I'm back in the states and haven't been on the UA-cam that much since but I figured I'd check in and see what you're up to lately? Red Paint??? Wow!!! Looks fantastic. You'd better call the car "scarlet" because if you call it "RED", your partner in crime will get confused or worse "jealous" ha ha !
Awesome awesome awesome,, I'm diggin it, my wife is diggin it we think it looks great, like a rinsed off barn find that was run hard and put up wet, the black was the perfect toner to get the old worn look, can't wait to see more but take it easy in this heat and humidity,,, you want to be able to drive it😉😉😉
Thanks for bringing us along on your wonderful build Bob! I'm also currently building a 47 Ford truck myself! Tell ol' Red there we say howdy from southwest Virginia! It the heart of Appalachia!
Don't forget to like and subscribe ... I need all the help I can get to keep up with the young guys. LOL

I am little older that are Bob . my names Bob too . I love your work. good part is you recycle this stuff. and give it a new life.

As your broken co-hort would say. I'm digging it boss.
Bob, you not just a rocket scientist but your an artist in ratrodology!

I think that old truck is gonna look mighty fine Bob!
I give a thumbs every time. Enjoy every one. Learning a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Looks like an old cherry red Gibson, Bob. Beautiful.
Glad you did red cause now it opens up a million possibilities. Simple yet amazing. Some guy might just pay you for something like that, and believe your just about a genius and artist. Man we can fool em huh. Lol kidding "Bawb". Thanks for ideas and your time.
Thanks man. You are killing it. Keep on keeping on.
I am 73 years old and I see how you are.
If I didn't see ya do it I would say that paint is 50 years old. Nice job Bob.
Adding some more colors was a good idea. It's always cool to see something different.
lookin' good, Bob.... Now the paint color kind of looks like, "Black Cherry"....
I Really Like it.....
Black Cherry is what I was shooting for.
Wow! This technique on the truck is perfect. I’m hoping you do something more like this than just black and silver like charolette got on your current build! I gotta say, that is likely one of the most involved paint jobs I’ve seen yet!
What I like about you Bob you’re not afraid to try stuff. Paint job looks real kool.
I think you're one hell of a builder.
Bob, I think it looks real nice, sorta like a black cherry but better. Just enough silver in the right places.
Hi Bob. I really like the red weathered look. Now you have to reds.
Looms good as always bob. Crazy what one man can do without all the crazy machinery and 12 workers doing the work.
Ole truck lookin good. Bring back the Henry J !

Think your kicking Bad Chads butt all over the internet right now, this is very cool ! R B is back !
Why run another hotrodder down? Didn't know it was a competition. 🤦♂️

I'm catching up !! This thang is coming along nicely ! Can't wait to see her all done !!!
Nice Job. You have a very good eye. Ageing a paint is not as easy as you would think. Enjoy your site very much.
Now all you need is Rat Rod Bob on the doors with the letters looking old and weathered.Now that would be cool.
Bob I've watched a lot of your builds. This one is different, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The frame and engine looks like one of those paintings you can't tell if it's a photo or a picture. I like the look a lot. Keep up the great work.
Probably the color grading ... had to much color saturation on this one. But did you like it better or not so much?
I really like what you have done with all of you creations
Man that looks good Bob, red and black, my favorite.
You do great work Bob. I totally enjoy watching you create artwork with metal , a little paint and a lot of creativity. You've ionspired me to do similar affects on my 51 Ford pickup.
Deep red cab , w/ the blue motor & metal...give it a subtle red , white and blus "American" look....I love it man
RJ
Have a great day Bob
I like the contrast with the silver on the stitches and the black down in the edges. Lookin’ good cuz!

Looks good Bob! Red and Elvira will look great heading down Main Street 😂. Keep up the good work 👏.
