Well Mr. D that's gna look really cool when finished I'm liking the old Hudson a lot good job I can see a really nice ride starting to come together till next time 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love that your bringing us all along with you on this build and allowing us to chime in as you go. So I’m chumming in too. Ha ! I really liked when you first set up the Hudson fender. All though it’s longer than what you want, it reminded me of a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr. Way cool looking man. And I kinda like things stretched out too lol. Any way you chose it’s a bad azz build. Thanks for the journey brother. 👍🏻✌🏻
You what si amazing south Africa and around the world builder of cars in trucks have so much in common and cheer each other on and well and have this unspoken brother hood .it just amazing
That is the furthest thing from a Rat rod ! That truck is a bad ass Hotrod brother.!! Well done , looks so good !! Amazing work !! Thanks for another , Brother !!
Thanks for sharing your creative process. Contrary to the way some other channels present things, the desired solution doesn't magically appear. It is the product of trial and error. You're building a wonderful creation.
Div, even your tow truck is cool as hell. The Hudson would look fantastic even without the bed, because then all your rear-half engineering is out where everyone can see it, but I know whatever you finish up with will be even better. CAN'T WAIT to see what you build for running boards. This beast is shaping up to be the coolest ride I've ever seen.
I am really enjoying the profile you have managed to create so far Boet. Thanks again for the weekly fix. I bought a 33 year old Chevy Astro van this week, drove it 200 miles or 320km home. Been cleaning it up on my channel. Amazed at the lack of rust underneath it
Div it's really coming together nicely so far sir. Wow I am liking it so much. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon sir. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
This is a really good looking build. You will have a fun ride when it's done. This was a great video. Thanks for letting us see the process of this build. I'm considering this idea for my grandpa's old Diamond T truck. My great uncle his brother had it in storage in one of his outbuildings since 1976. Keep up the good work and enjoy the ride!
I'm not really a rat rod kind of guy. But, I do like watching your fabrication skills. I really dig how you use as much of the old truck and scraps. And all from a lone guy in his shop. I'll keep watching because you sir are very entertaining.
I think the plan is good, also think you need to salvage the other 2 stake pockets for the front edge of the bed. I would like to see the VW guards around the other way to maybe match the front ones better?? A piece of exhaust (or other) tubing makes a great edge for running boards. Thanks Div.
I want it 😂😂 love the rims 😎 I would let the original fenders hang out of the rear of the bed with a cool bumper treatment between incorporating lights and plate 🧐
I love your work, Dif. Your attention to detail and finishing shapes is inspiring. I look forward to it every week. Rat rods are by definition do what you want with what you got. However, that rare Hudson Big Boy is Art Deco all the way. The longer the fenders the better especially on a slammed car. Think of tail dragger coupes. Use the Hudson fenders and reshape the wheel openings as you like. You could modify the bobbed bed by taking the front end panel you cut off and welding it to the back at a slant to match the rear fenders and extend it. You could cut out the Hudson script out of the now rear panel and leave it open or make big taillight out of it. The truck would look good coming and going. Just from one old guy to another.
Looking good, I will also try and use the Hudson rear fenders, with some ajustmemt to the long rear tail. Also harvest the other two bin-pillars for the front side of the bin. It sits very nice. Kom mooi Div my maat.
Just recently found your show and I think its great. I'm currently building a 40 Dodge coupe and you are giving me lots of inspiration. Thanks for sharing from Edmonton Alberta Canada
You hold my attention for the entire video. Your skills working with scrap metal are second to none, why have you not got 100,000 plus subscribers ,you certainly deserve that many and more.
Div..... Well hello from the USA. Just between you and I, we will call you "Mr. Div ".... So far I have watch most of your videos..... and I'm impress with your ability's to solve unbelievable problems that comes up as it relates to automobiles.... Just so you know even though your far removed from civilization you are doing well.... I think that if you were here in the USA there's no telling what you could build.... Hey a lot people could learn from you.... Working with what you have available ..... Don't stop .....stay healthy. Oh that 351 is bad to the bones....
Too lekka! I love how it's all coming together. Your workmanship compliments your artistic conception perfectly. I was so looking forward to seeing you customise the old Hudson rear fenders...
I was thinking you should take the fender well and flip it around and use the driver side on the passenger side of the truck. like you did the bed sidewall with the end of the fender flowing to the tailgate. looking great keep it up can't wait to see it ripping down the road.
The jigsaw puzzle is almost together. Very creative...
I really like watching you go through the thinking/design process. Like watching you burn it all together too.
More Forest sculpture. Really enjoying it Div. Thanks Man.
Thats looking great Div. Awesome job. Definitely looking like something now...Thank you for sharing.
I think it's going to look pretty cool.cant wait to see the finished product take care diff .
I am enjoying your renobuild and can’t wait for next phase
Thank you for preserving a piece of Americana built in my part of the country.
It is so cool how you used one of your ratrods to help you with building another ratrod!
See, as I said, a little recovery was done😅
Truck is looking good. Like how the old blue paint is looking on the cab.

Man the Hudson guards they gotta go back on, even modified, but used them. This is going to be a nice rod. Lekker boet.
Many other guys feel the same way! Guess I'm gonna have to listen to all of you😀

I bought a 33 year old Chevy Astro van this week, drove it 200 miles or 320km home.
Been cleaning it up on my channel. Amazed at the lack of rust underneath it
Thanks. All the best with the "new" van!

Awesome as always look forward to each stage

Love the tires and rims there Badass
Flip the Beatle fenders from side to side so the thick part of them are at the back. It would flow more with the front fenders.
Looking good, I will also try and use the Hudson rear fenders, with some ajustmemt to the long rear tail. Also harvest the other two bin-pillars for the front side of the bin. It sits very nice. Kom mooi Div my maat.
Dankie Herman. Ek het nog nie die Hudson fenders afgeskryf nie...
That’s a difficult decision cause it’s all artistic appeal. Very interested to see what you decide. 😊
Yes, still considering the options😅
Just recently found your show and I think its great. I'm currently building a 40 Dodge coupe and you are giving me lots of inspiration. Thanks for sharing from Edmonton Alberta Canada
Thanks. Welcome to my shop! Good luck with your build.
Looking great there Div. It's your truck so do as you like , but my opinion is taper to the rear for the fenders to match the front. 👍
That Hudson looks soo good Div, have a lekka one Boet
Great video and hallo from Austria!
Great work
Great stuff as usual. Even got the wife to watch this time!! thanks Div.. perhaps a shop tour vid in the future would be cool?
Tell the wife I'm honored!😊 Will do a shop tour one day...
cant wait to see you build that bed gonna be really cool with those vw fenders
Looking good !
That's going to look good 👍
You have a good eye for style and ascetic.
Thank you!

A thousand times better than that Chad idiot!
Progress is great as usual Div. They were a little long but the look of the Hudson fenders was good. See you next video.

Boa tarde, bom domingo professor Pardal, ai ficar muito louco.

Too lekka! I love how it's all coming together. Your workmanship compliments your artistic conception perfectly. I was so looking forward to seeing you customise the old Hudson rear fenders...
