Your craftsmanship is unquestionable, but I cannot help noticing how well your videos are produced. Good lighting, good sound, well balanced content. You explain the idea and concept behind the design and then show the key parts of the fabrication with some tricks of the trade and without any boring, unnecessary details. It's a real pleasure watching your channel.
You always put out a GREAT Video, Diff! I enjoy designing and building more than driving them. Anyone can order parts from a catalog, but I would rather build every part if at all possible. I'm 75 now and have been building hot rods since I was 14, I love the process!
@@DaSoulmann that is exactly my problem!😅And once the build is done I lose interest & have to move on to the next project! I'm addicted to the creating...
Awesome afternoon brother from another country another awesome adventure with my brother from another country another great step in progress awesome craftsmanship brother
The curve in the bumper was one labor intensive detail ! A truly impressive design addition ! The amount of work that went in to the bumper is mind blowing ! You make it look quick and easy on camera , but those of us who fabricate have a great appreciation for the hours spent and creativity . Good Job !
Div! When your video started and I saw the curved bumper I thought "Nah, No. Don't do it!". When I finally saw the completed job I thought. Wow! What a cool idea!
Your air suspension is a fine piece of engineering and your bumper is a fantastic piece of craftsmanship. The best part is that it makes the truck look happy to be going down the road.
I totally agree that curves makes a car beautiful, which is why I like the look of my 1st gen Audi TT so much. Excellent job on designing and fabricating the bumper, it compliments the rest of the build really well.
With the amount of work and design put into all of the details you can’t call it a rat truck because it truly is a full blown kustom. Great fabrication, I love it. Cheers!!
It's looking pretty good Div. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Thanks, Diff, for another great vid. Love the way everything is flowing together. yes, you are making more work for yourself. Man! the end result. makes and awesome.
Hey Div, When you first suggested a curve in the bumper I thought you had lost your mind ! But WOW ! The finished product looks fantastic ! Those faceted smaller lights look like they were made for the rear of a chopper , ( Motorcycle ). Work Safe, Be Well Enjoy Life
I like it looks great alot of work right there.. I can see those fat fenders on the rear. And a cool visor on the windshield. This one is going to be the Hot rod.Take care Diff.
Dif, you really like to make work for yourself don't you. I enjoy watching you design something like your curved bumper and then expertly fabricate it. Your idea to cut a nice round hole for the frenched taillights worked perfectly. You certainly have all the right tools. Thanks for showing us your ideas and how you bring everything together to make your vehicles unique and interesting. The bumper looks great, however, Bob is not my uncle.
Hey Diff, that plazma cutter trick with the hole has me thinking I should get me one of those. The small lights are called " jewel" lights around the US Midwest. An old biker and hot rodder trick was to install a blue jewel inline with the taillight bulb. Called " blue dot" jewels. Makes the light a little purple- ish. Looks cool! When I get going on some seemingly small detail only I seem to understand, I simply call it " truck art"! You my friend are an artist!! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Google translate says that your sign reads "No entry unauthorized"
You're quite the artist. I love the look of the truck so far.
Thanks for taking the trouble to look it up. No I know too🙂
The hive mind says it's Zulu for "no unauthorized entry". Nice sign for the workshop.
Outstanding Achievement, Really Cool!
Nice work.
The knife is from Mora in Sweden, the name of the company is Frost.
In Sweden it's called Mora kniv.
Everyone in Sweden have at least one.
Thanks, now I know 🙂

Agreed, from Knoxville, Tennessee, USA......

Thanks Jerry. That's me too, once they built I lose interest...😅
@@ratrodsafrica Spoken like a true artist... it is the creating that feeds the monster, not the completion.
@@DaSoulmann that is exactly my problem!😅And once the build is done I lose interest & have to move on to the next project! I'm addicted to the creating...
@@ratrodsafrica Like I tell my friends "the urge to create terrorizes, so I gotta feed the Monster" ☯
SWEET ... LOOK KILLER
The rear end of that truck has curvs like a musical instrument...looks great....
A show with a massive amount of mobile Forest Sculpture. Truly appreciated Div. Thank you.
Awesome afternoon brother from another country another awesome adventure with my brother from another country another great step in progress awesome craftsmanship brother
Diff absolute great looking rear bumper. Your design ideas always surprises me
Thank you!
New to the channel, you do amazing work,.
Thanks! Welcome to my shop! 🙂
Love how the backend bumper you made that’s curved and has all of the holes and lights too
Sunday morning with Diff! Life is good. Excellent work! Waiting for Rat Rods of Africa shirts and swag!
i think using an old keg on the bed would be a cool gastank

Thanks! Yeah, more work than would make any sense. But, if you want something in a particular way, then it is what it is...😅
That's a Frost's Mora knife, best knives there are. in business since the 1800's and still to this day makes the best knives
Black lights as tail lights are a great idea especially if you're being followed by a "Keep On Truckin" poster, or an old hippy...
That is a sweet curve and it's turning out to be one stud Hudson, very sharp Diff, I'm diggin it
That bakkie is turning into a tour de force👌
She is turning out so pretty. I’m jealous I think lol. Your doing an awesome job.
You never cease to amaze me Div. I enjoy every minute of your videos. Thank you for sharing your work.
Great job. Div is a brillant designer with a remarkable sense for harmonious shaping of vehicles . Thumbs up!
Thank you!
I said it before and I’ll say it again. that’s no rat rod !! way too nice , that’s a bad ass Hot Rod Brother , I love it !! 🖤👍
Div, I wonder if you know how satisfying it is to watch a true craftsman at work, you are that! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks man. My pleasure
VERYYYY SWEEET DESIGN!!!!!!! You are very talented for sure!!!! Thanks for the great videos and teaching!!!
Thank you very much!👍
Genius circle aid. Your eyes and hands work well to satisfy your imagination. Incorporating style to a frame is brilliant .
Thank you!
Again, you blew my mind with your plywood plasma cutting guides
Give it a try, works great! 🙂
Div! When your video started and I saw the curved bumper I thought "Nah, No. Don't do it!". When I finally saw the completed job I thought. Wow! What a cool idea!
Thanks!
I had my doubts about the curved bumper but now that it's done it flows with the rest of the car. Wel gedaan !
Your air suspension is a fine piece of engineering and your bumper is a fantastic piece of craftsmanship.
The best part is that it makes the truck look happy to be going down the road.
Oh man that bumper is wicked! I've never seen anything quite like that. Great video
Thanks brother! That's a cool looking bumper.
Thanks Bob. Glad you like it!
That tail looks great, Div. Every speed hole is worth the effort, for sure!
Now I know why the brilliant movie District 9 turned out so well! The power of creative thinking and a sense of taste!
Great look. Looking forward to the next step.
I totally agree that curves makes a car beautiful, which is why I like the look of my 1st gen Audi TT so much. Excellent job on designing and fabricating the bumper, it compliments the rest of the build really well.
Good job my friend it’s looking good , I like your Project I learn something to day which is good. God bless you Sir and have a blessed day , Aman.
That turned out so much better than I could have imagined.
Hay Bro, love that bumper Mr Perfectionest that one`s gotta be the pride of Africa.

It's a sweet curve, it's parabolic!
Parabolic! That's the world I was looking for👍
With the amount of work and design put into all of the details you can’t call it a rat truck because it truly is a full blown kustom. Great fabrication, I love it. Cheers!!

Hi Diff, love the bumper, 19.48 we have words like that in Scotland like Scummindooninbuckets' (coming down in buckets ) when the rain is heavy.
I’m feeling a couple of exhaust tips need to come out of two of those holes.
Can’t get enough of your design thinking and execution. ❤
The hole making idea is a great one! S O S! Looking great Duff keep it up and be safe!
Incredible what one man can do time knowledge equipment
Looks awesome DIV. Looking forward to next Sunday :)
