DETROIT DIESEL: “Mad Max” Rat Rod V12 Diesel 1948 COE Dump Truck With Hidden Motorcycle | EP24
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2023
- Why? Because every mid-engine rat rod 1948 Ford COE dump truck needs a tiny Honda Trail 90 rat bike in its former engine compartment, shrouded by a gym locker. With makeshift construction and a distinct aura of oil, the 4,000-pound Series 71 Detroit Diesel 12V71 two-stroke engine with twin 671 blowers powers its manually-shifted Turbo 400 transmission with a double roller chain and produces over 1,000 foot-pounds of torque and 425 horsepower. Nicole gives it a fresh oil change, then climbs under the gull-wing doors and into the wheelbarrow-bucket seats of Scotty Ray's "Mad Max" apocalypse-surviving, Rat Fink-inspired truck, cruising around the city streets and desert of Las Vegas.
MORE ABOUT SCOTTY RAY:
A native to Las Vegas, Scotty Ray is a diesel mechanic at Micon Construction, owned by his brother, Mike Ray. Scotty Ray is active in the local rat rod community and Model A club, and frequents car shows with his rat truck known as the "Detroit Destroyer."

I love you for keeping the content cool and classy. There are too many beautiful young ladies pushing primarily T/A with a side of 💩 content. Your content is AMAZING w/out the distraction. As a father of a 16 year old daughter you give me hope. THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me!!
Thanks for pointing this out.
Got to admit the period correct attire adds to the content, but the meat and potatoes is the attention to detail on showcasing the vehicles.
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour❤❤😅😅😅
Awesome truck
That old Detroit isn't leaking oil, it's marking its territory.
It sure did!! Thanks for watching!!
Its Detroit slobber 🤤
@@ericnelson8108 if a detroir aint leanking its out of oil got to love them
Sweating horsepower
Sweating power 🤙🏼
This guy truly belongs on movie sets where his talent and innovation can be immortalized on the big screen!
We appreciate the comment!! Thanks for watching!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour And a real character, too. You two looked great together , and absolute naturals . I'm not incinerating anything . Jus sayn. Pete UK . Waidaminit . I remember you with a monster truck. Scoobie-Doo?
@@peterbellwood5412 Yes, that's me!
A giant polaris engine on a rat rod i live it
Reengineered from repurposed materials with a level of craftsmanship. Just from this video his knowledge and talent naturally surfaced and any true tinkerer will admire.
Thank you sir, in my life I met some of the greatest. They had every combination of head cam displacement even referenced rod and piston diameter at the fly and after a case of beer. My pops owned a wrecker and as a kid I fell in love with the energy. Approaching 74 still operates his Pete 40 piggyback house grass pool and his coveted 53 Willys he’s owned my entire 45 years. Back in the 80’s there was no support do he cropped a chief frame 390 4spd with the Dana 44’s. Heck it’s still his daily with a 2000 Bravada 4.3 and a Getrag 5 spd we swapped two decades back in her. 🫡
Half engineer, half mechanic, half sculptor. He's a Mad Scientist-and-a-half! Love you, brother...freaking awesome awesome telling of the story of your Rat Rod -- and you.
We're so glad you enjoyed watching!! Thank you!
I agree he is a mad scientist style dude..
this is the guy you seek in a zombie apocalypse. we need to re-direct this dude to work on the cure for cancer.
Sem dúvida a mulher mais fera em máquinas que já vi ! Parabéns pela bravura ! Saudações do Brasil !
I love it when people express themselves through their vehicles. That beast is a true work of art. Well done! This channel is a gem!
We're so glad you enjoyed watching!! We appreciate it!!
Now that is a rat rod, lol....
I'm lucky enough to have known Scotty for MANY years! He is absolutely the BEST!!! So smart and so creative! Love this man!❤
How nice!! Thank you for sharing with us!! I loved doing this episode with Scotty!!
He is great.
((::))
That’s great, found few in my life to inspire. I’d love to shake his hand and engage in conversation with him about anything he’s passionate about.
It's amazing how he put small things from his childhood here and there on the truck. It's a really nice build.
We agree!! Thanks so much for watching!!
He built a story of his life.
Nicole, you always put a smile on everyone's face, that's a gift!
Thank you..I appreciate that!! We really appreciate you watching!!
Yes, Nicole is sooo adorable.
It's because when beauty meets gears we are faced with an enigma and a dream of....most men...someone who knows more about cars than they do while she stays a woman and you a man. Iknow I sound misogynist. I'm just saying much respect to a woman who has can stand in side by side were men were to insecure to let her stand....come on...throw it!
Gosh...aaaaabsolutely in love...(with the truck too)! Thoroughly enjoy the videos, the interest, and the fellow kid at heart! Great job. Keep them coming!
@@MrAalejandro75 Thank you! We appreciate it!
“Why have 6 when you can have 12”!!!! What an artiste’. It’s amazing to see what people create with discarded stuff… what an incredible contrast from the last episode!!
Haha..for sure!! Thanks for watching Dave!!
You’re an inspiration…, I need to start putting my 68 C10 together, but first I’m going to have to take it apart😅
I love it, how Nicole gets "as gitty as a school girl" when she moves that throttle and drives those different machines.
Haha!! It's my happy place!!! Thank you for watching!!
That reaction just had me rolling! So good.
1) This rod needs to be re-named "Tetanus Shot".
2) I think Nicole should have reconsidered when to wear a helmet in this episode. It was not the BIKE that was the threat!
3) Driving this thing appears to be about as difficult as piloting the Space Shuttle.
Haha!! Love it!!
This is most certainly one of thé most inspirational and amazing clips ÉVER on UA-cam…it should both be shared and recognized far and wide for its creative ingenuity and unusual combination of ‘weirdnesses’ éver imaginable.
Touché once again : simply fantastic and mind boggelling all the way into total madness.
Both the Magician and the Presenting Lady deserve Oscars or Idols recognition.
Mike’s got the kind of ingenious brilliance Elon Musk can do with in his ‘X-rocket environment’ into Space. ÁND more…
Just SUPER great, thank you once again⁉️⁉️🥂👊🔥
@@kobusdutoitbosman6240 I doubt Elon Musk could use this guys help building a Rocket. BUT - If I'm in that Rocket floating around in Space, this IS the dude I'd want around when something went wrong.
Coolest lady on youtube. This guy is a true tinkerer his truck is unique, good find.
Thank you so much...glad you like it!!
I am not at all a truck guy , but that is THE coolest rat truck EVER !!!!!
Yes it is!! Thank you for watching!!
The Detroit Destroyer is like fists of fury rolling on the tarmac.
Savagely Awesome Rat Rod !!
Thank you Scotty and Nicole 👊🏻
We're so glad you like it!! Thank you for watching!
I will always have a love for Buzzin Dozens. I was first addicted to them when my Grandfather owned a few Detroit powered dump trucks. The sound is just pure anti-depressant for me.
Thank you for sharing with us!!
who needs pharmaceutical grade Amphetamine when you can get a screamin' Jimmy or 3?
I worked with Scotty at a VW dealership back in the mid 70's--- Never realized then that I was working with a genious !!!!!!! Way to go Scotty
Thanks for sharing!! Love it!
.30 in, Nicole went in for the hand shake ol scotty said hell no. Give me a hug gorgeous. 😂
The song the Detroit's sing is the sweetest sounding oil burner. I love it.
Thank you for the comment! Glad you enjoyed watching!
Turning perfectly good diesel fuel into smoke and noise for 90 years.
This could only come out of America, I love it. 🙂 (Greetings from across the pond).
Greetings to you!! We're so glad you enjoyed watching!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour It's great! Nice to hear about your Dad repurposing things to make something new, my own Dad is a practical one too, props to them for demonstrating how we can use our hands and create stuff, I followed mine around all the time, just watching. 🙂
I wish I had 1/10th this dudes creativity and skill.

We agree!! Glad you like it!!
You're very knowledgeable, awesome truck awesome channel! It's great to see women out there loving the industry just as much as men.
We appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
True Rat rod. That guy is amazing. Only thing missing is a pony motor to start the V12. :)
Pony motor should be a Buick 3800 supercharged
Thank you so much for watching!!
No, no, no. A pull start chainsaw to start a Harley V-Twin to start this.
@@jamesengland7461 Haha!

James England..thank you!!
Building this truck was a labor of love. Nicole saw that. Thanks Nicole, I love the video.
Yes it was! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
This guy is smart and I just love the truck and I hope you have a wonderful time driving it wherever you go and I hope you find cheap fuel . Drive safe and remember to thank our Lord every day for a safe adventure .

DAMN! Good for you Nicole! Yessireee, felt like being stuck in ride-about in the Western Territories . . . .
Haha!! Glad you enjoyed the ride!!!
What's awesome is that this guy is my Grandpa! He's awesome
That's definitely awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!
The sound of that v12 makes me happy 😊😊😊
Thank you for watching!
But the sound of that bike on the other hand 😂
I can’t believe I’m seeing this! I just saw this thing a few days ago parked in front of a house I was working close to, snapped a pic and posted it on Facebook!
This thing is beyond awesome
Oh wow..that's awesome!! Thank you for watching!!
I'm just astounded at the builders you find! What an inspiration for creativity, recyclability, and plain ol' get 'er done determination. And the automotive Americana... SO COOL!
Thank you!! We're so glad you like it!!
I used to run one of those old Detroit V12's with no mufflers.
Woke the whole neighborhood up in the morning.
Brought back good memories and tears to my eyes.
Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
@Scotty Ray me too.
I lived in Hyde Park in Austin close to the university.
My wife was going to UT there and lots of crazy cool hippies back in those days.
All manner of crazy cars and rat rods including my 71 GMC pickup with a three on the floor and a bored out 58 283.
That truck is awesome!!!! He was able to use up a ton of scrap in a creative way. Neat!!!!
Yes we agree!! Thanks so much for watching!
Ma chère Nicole, c'est formidable de vous retrouver avec votre beau sourire !!
Thank you!! That's very nice!!
Driptroits are the best. They sound incredible. That fellas ingenuity is so cool.
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and adventures!!!
Thank you for watching..we're glad you enjoyed!!
Coolest rat truck, this man is a genius he created this mad truck very unusual solution . great video so much fun .this is proper green truck recycling so much things.
We're glad you enjoyed watching!!
Guys like that always amaze me. The ingenuity and engineering come from people who have very creative talents. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he is working on his creations.
Thank you so much for watching...glad you enjoyed it!!
Hey Nicole, You Did It Again!! Thank You!!
Glad you like it!! Thanks for watching!
Nicole, you made us smile when you jumped on that scooter.
I like how this guy repurposes so many things to add to his Rat Rod.
Thank you so much for watching!! We're so glad you enjoyed it!!
Nice! I’m guessing the motorcycle opens up with a tiny truck inside?
Haha...that would be awesome!! Thank you for watching!
Nesting Doll type shenanigans that I would not be all that surprised to see him pull off. little Hotwheels car or something.
Wow Wow Wow, thats a crazy custom DIY vehicle, that would make Mad Max lucky. thanks for sharing this great Project. love this crazy ol Guy and you too
Thank you..we appreciate you watching!!
Woohoo from the U.K.! That’s creative, unorthodox, kool, and most importantly, very, very thought provoking🤔 Thanx for sharing🙏
We appreciate you watching...glad you enjoyed it!
Great creation!
Glad you like it!!
Proving once agian, there is NOTHING Nicole cant drive. What a BEAST that rig is.
Thank you!! We're glad you like it!!
I've seen some pretty amazing rat rods but that takes the prize for creativity. First time I've seen an owner tell Nicole to punch it and she looked scared. 😅
Haha!! Thanks for watching!!!
I would love to see this beast driven down the streets of San Francisco. The looks on people's faces would be priceless.
Haha..that would be pretty cool!!
Am a retired Mr Goodwrench... built a few hundred vehicles in my day, this ride of yours reminds me of some of the things I've done! Like putting a 502 c.i. caddy motor and tranny in a 46 Diamond T or the 58 Volvo with a 425 Buick stuffed in it.. Great job! love the work you put in it....
Cool!! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Awesome ride, awesome truck.
It sure is! Thanks for watching!!
That truck is insanely awesome!!
Yes it is!!! Thank you for watching!
Nicole and crew, you guys continue to crush it, one episode after another!
Epic ride. So many interesting details. Laughed my arse off when Scott was standing through the sun roof.
This episode flew by. Speaking of time, I imagine you're putting a LOT of hours into these episodes (100+ hrs). Thank you for your ongoing contribution to this platform. You are appreciated.
I would love to get involved... Actually reached out via LinkedIn, earlier today.
Thank you so much!! We appreciate that!! We're glad you liked it!
Such a sick truck 🔥🔥🔥!
RIP to the dudes father ❤🙏🏼
Sounds good 👍🏻!
Thank you for watching!
Nicole, you are adorable, I'm sure you have thousands of guys wishing that they could be yours. That truck is fantastic, that engine is a masterpiece, I would put it in an even bigger truck than it's in now. Love it!
Thank you so much!! Glad you like it!!
Mad Max would have drooled by the gallons. This is not a truck, but a rolling masterpiece. Glad I discovered this channel. Yiiiijaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
Yay!!! We're glad you found us too! Thank you!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour My pleasure :):):)
Did not expect you to ride the bike. Well done
Haha...thank you for watching!!
Your shows never disappoint. Good good job Nicole
Thank you!! We're so glad you enjoy watching!!
What an excellent contraption. 👍
Glad you like it...thank you for watching!
That thing is NUTS!!! Talk about a handful??? Well done my friend. You are getting quite a good list of “unusuals” in your repertoire. 😂 !!!!!!!
Thanks Aaron..this one is definitely on the "unusuals" list!!! Love it!!
If they ever make a second duel movie, this truck would be perfect for it!!
The actual truck from Duel is on the hitlist. 😉
Brilliant, the coolest rat truck of all. Nicole you should show Scotty the video of yourself doing a back flip in your monster truck and landed on all four wheels again.
Haha..thank you. We're glad you enjoyed watching this episode!!
Probably the coolest rat rod in the world. Pretty complex to drive however. Another great one Nicole.
Thank you for watching..we're so glad you enjoyed it!!
Mad Max all the way. Man...I love the looks you make reacting to different circumstances. That truck needs the use of headsets....WHAT?
Be well and stay safe....you Crack me up.
Haha..glad you enjoyed watching!!
Unique is what we seek???
Bizarre is what we are!!!!!!
That's one bizarre truck 👏👏👏👏😜
Dreams and visions to a few ?
Nightmares to others 😱.
A great engineering artist 👍
Another great episode ☺️
Happy motoring 👽✌️💗💗
Love it!!! Thank you so much!!
OK, Nicole you have really out done yourself this time......over the top Rat Rod. Way cool., and Now I know way you wore bib overhauls.
Thank you!! We're so glad you enjoyed watching!!
9:04 Nicole's look and search for words says it all. This rig is so wonderfully bonkers. Great stuff.
It really is wonderfully bonkers!!! We're so glad you enjoyed watching!!
hahaha (::)
I think this was one of the funnest videos yet. And all of your vids have been great. This one just dripped with mad maxian charm. (I know that’s not a word). So much fun. Smash that throttle.
We're so glad you enjoyed watching!! Thank you!
That's one Badass Truck thank you Nicole ❤
Glad you like it! We appreciate you watching!!
That is one of the SICKEST Truck's EVER! Love your show!!!!!
Thank you!! We appreciate that!!
Pretty Cool Nicole! that truck looks like it has some massive Horsepower.
Yes it does!! Thanks for watching...glad you enjoyed it!
You find the weirdest stuff. This was awesome! Your enthusiasm is infectious. The knowledge you have over the parts the and respect you give to the owners is fantastic. I can't wait to see what's next.
"I used to drive a monster truck!"
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
"Got a helmet?" - such a cool response
Truck is straight out of the future dystopia. Monster..!!
Yes it is!! Glad you enjoyed watching!!
Great presentation. Reminds me of my old Corvair using a vice grips to hold my clutch Cable to the clutch pedal...in emergency use only. 😂 A quart of oil to work and a quart home.
Glad you enjoyed watching..thanks for the comment!!
This feels like a 7 min video, simply amazing
We appreciate that...thanks for watching!!
Let’s see here; you take 12 each 4” diameter exhaust pipes, total that up, and you got a guy who built collectively a monster with an exhaust opening about the size of a man-hole cover. Outstanding.
We agree!! Thank you for watching!
Sure the truck is amazing., but the bike takes it to a whole new level.
Glad you liked it...thank you for watching!
Great build 👏 👌
Glad you like it..thanks for watching!
so much fun in one truck gold great job mate !!!
We're glad you enjoyed watching!! Thank you!
Perfect landscape to film that beast in. I thought for sure it would break down, with all the smoke coming off the engine, but I guess it was just chain oil smoke and mist. Good drive!
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fun ride!
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love 2 stroke detroits great job 👏
Thank you for watching!!!
Yeah i got an 8v92 turbo 2 stroke out beck, detroit are fairy high performance 2 stroke, im using BRP XD-100 oil in mine full synthetic 2 stroke oil.
That is just amazing, love that Detroit diesel sound.
Yes...we love it too!! Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely brilliant ❤
We're glad you like it!! Thanks for watching!!
I can appreciate your super "finished" builds, but these are such great conversation pieces!!
Yes...we agree!! Thank you for watching!!
Even if the owner looks pissed off :)
Very nice color coded outfit, Nicole . . Always the extra mile !
Thank you...I appreciate that!
Looks like fun!! I can see the look on his face he was nervous. I am not sure it made it back home. This channel is so good because its real. Thanks Nicole
Yes...we made it back just fine!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Holy crap, what an insane truck. I love the shift mechanism, it’s like if Horacio Pagani built it on a desert island and only had rusty wrenches and a welder. This is the kind of truck that you need to visit a doctor after driving to treat a slipped disk and also tetanus! Love it
Haha!! Thanks for sharing with us!!
I get that Horacio reference! An artistic shifter, only different. And rusty.
Met this man at RatCityRukkus 2024! Most genuine guy out there! Beautiful machine right here 😁
OMG ! I love a Detroit Diesel, and a 12V71 no less. At 20:50 in the video you said it all, "I feel like a maniac!" And with a maniac builder sitting next to you! I love how you take on the personality of whatever you are driving. Yup, Maniac!!
Thank you!! We're so glad you enjoyed watching!!
