- This is a project I started back in 2020. Started life as a 1994 Ranger truck. The first build converted to a lighter truck then over the winter I cut it apart and made it into a roadster.

Not enough people making fun little hot rods nowadays. Not winning any races but sure looks like a lot of fun

Something for the kids to put around in
you never know that thing could def go 100mph safe or not might win some races
Very cool. This guy should be a engineer at Ford. If you can imagine it,you can build it my brother would always say. I believe that now. This guy is thinking on different level. There is a man that uses old metal refrigerator boxes for making some of the coolest looking replicas of cars from the past. They are miniature automobiles that you can ride in . They look like the real cars. I've seen the videos on u tube . Check it out. It's amazing what some people can do by just imagining it.
@@phillipanderson2607 yeah I know it cool stuff, the Shriners make those tiny little cars I call them shrinermobiles
I love the simplicity and cleanliness of it. Who wouldn't want a 5 speed go kart!
With Reverse!!
With the way fuel prices are going this is going to be the car of the future.
For sure, I would take one over an electric car
Next trends
Hey guys what's up! Today I'm going to be showing you show I build a drivable small cart, using spare parts from a Salvage yard and make it STREET LEGAL, make sure you comment, like and subscribe, and don't forget to ring that bell!

This thing would get maybe 4 miles to the gallon.
At least there's no more mean-Tweets these days.
This is what an actual Mad Max car would look like. Light, easy to work on, and thrifty with gas!
You get it

@@panchopistol6897 You think people would be driving around old solid iron blocked v8's? lmao, you prob know nothing about cars. This is EXACTLY what people would be creating and driving, this would probably considered extreme luxury in such circumstances
I think about my dad a lot, and I often leave long comments on UA-cam videos contrasting his life to the video. If you love your dad, like this comment. Not because I want a bunch of likes, but because I want you all to stop and appreciate what you have if your dads are still around.
I was going to comment that when my daddy got old he rode deckless riding lawnmowers around his property. Mostly from the house back to his garages. When he retired, he spent most of his time working on mowers for people. In his heyday, the man was a master mechanic, master paint and body guy, master carpenter, master welder, certified electrician, awesome plumber, logger, excavator operator and more. When I was born he was building Bad Creek Hydroelectric Station in SC. I often listen to that song the "Highwaymen" and think about dad. He loved Waylon, and when Waylon sings about being a dam builder it really hits home with me. Dad drove a little 92 Ranger until the day I put him in a nursing home. The old truck had 490k miles on it. The interior smelled like drive-in diner hotdogs and was gunked up and stained beyond belief. The little 5 speed 4 cylinder ran just fine though. This was one of many old Fords dad keep alive beyond their expiration date. Dad was a GM guy, but always owned Fords as dailies. In his youth, there's still stories around about his 67 442 W30, and his countless 409 64 Impalas and 55 Bel Airs all built by him to race. Dad loved Earnhardt. In many ways dad was Earnhardt, at least to me anyway. My point in all this is to appreciate what you have.
Yes sir coming from a racing family that's all we did was build race cars. Papa was the innovator his two sons were the drivers. And everything was passed down to us now. I'm 55 and would get back in a race car again in a heartbeat. We ran ovals dirt and pavement. I built most all my cars as well as my brother, my father and uncle, and grandfather. But I think would rather do what this gentleman is doing. It just looks fun. And sometimes racing is not always fun. Bless you if all that type of building and knowledge is passed down.
@@briansmith5469 I raced on a paved oval track as a kid, in an 80s volvo. Real car racing isn't as fun as little put around vehicles for some reason. Little PW80 dirtbikes and deckless lawnmowers are some of the most enjoyable things to ride around on.
I would like to add that if you still have your family you should spend as much time as you can with them before you can't. One of my biggest regrets in life.
First person I’ve seen mount one of these to a normal gearbox. Glad to see it works and I can do my own now
Looks like it works really well.
You clearly don't watch enough videos then.
Yeah I know it
I have a 4x4 Isuzu Trooper that is unbelievable in the mountains. I use a 10 tooth sprocket on the Centrifugal Clutch and a 60 tooth sprocket on the shaft hooked to the front of the Transmission. I took the existing Clutch Plate from the Isuzu and ground the rivets on it to obtain the center part that is toothed to fit the transmission and then welded that true to a 1" thick Keyed bar. I have built my Isuzu and I also built a ford bronco II for a friend of mine.
My uncle made a little truck like this and used a studebaker 3 speed and a kohler industrial engine
I'm loving it. It would blend right in to the rat rod shows but still get a lot of notice.
Back in the 70s, I needed a yard tractor to harvest firewood. No money, just need. Borrowed the motor off the snowblower, Trans and differential from a junk Toyota, narrowed up a bit, and with some scrap metal and a welder made my own tractor. More often than not need is the mother of invention.
You gotta love that Hardtail suspension🤭
You should name it 'Danger Ranger' !! Lol That thing would be a hit at a Rat Rod or Hot Rod car show. Great job!
Creative build. Always thought of making a jeep-like vehicle with a long bed pickup bed by removing the cab and shortening the frame. So many ideas not enough gumption or space to attempt.
Fantastic! I imagine at some point you stepped back, took a look, and though that you could of made the doors reversed. With the cab mounted backwards. At this point I believe you could build anything!
It must have been a BAD Wreak, seeing only the doors were left!
Nice conversion.
Thanks for showing.
I love this kind of stuff! My brother and I built a 90 Chevy pickup complete with a huge compressor, tanks and dump valves all hooked up to a 25" long potato canon that was formerly a utility pole. Our record to date is a little over 220 yards.
I believe If you Put a larger exhaust, It would not Pop, It has back Pressure, That,s why it Pops Great Build
I’ll give that a try, thanks!
In the 80s my uncle made a little hot rod like this with studebaker parts and a kohler industrial engine. He drove it everywhere and I usually went with him
That is super cool I love the Simplicity of it
What a great idea! I would like to see one with a motorcycle or snowmobile engine! Looks like fun! 📕
Nice rod, fun project to have. Late 90s I did this with a Geo Metro. Chopped the top and front clip off. Took 15" out down the middle to fit the front axle width. Shortened a chevett reared and used an old tractor front axle flipped upside down. I found a 87' Ski-Doo snowmobile Engine with the torque converter clutch. If I remember right it was about 85 hp. It was pretty shady but it lasted a few parades. I traded it off for a 30-06 pump(still have)and a John boat.
Very cool Sir. I would like something like that to go to school with.
Absolutely love it!.. I put an aliexpress 34mm flat slide mikuni knock off (with a free flow muffler) on one of those and it completely transformed it.. way more power
Now I want to go buy a wrecked little truck & do this ! Love it man !
This put the biggest smile on my face. Thx!
This is to cool I would love to have seen the build process on this
I’ll post the pics of it in a video slideshow.
That thing really moves, I recently built a duromax 440 n it was an absolute screamer, sold it n nevet got to test it on a project
Wow! Super cool! I want one lol! How is the motor connected to the trans? A vid of that would be great?
My uncle built something like this in the 80s, he used a twin v-belt set-up as the clutch and to gear it down for maximum towing
I live on an island... This might be a new thing here with the junk cars!!! Love this build
🤙From big island
Seems if we all went a little slower, it would actually be great fun. Thanks for showing what can be done with minimum horsepower. I have seen few builds replacing engine with one such as yours. It's all good, nice job.
That thing is pretty dang speedy
Looks like a fun little project!
You have some clever ideas that are working!
Subscribed!
I'd really be interested in seeing a 4x4 build!
Reminds me of something that my grandpa would have built for fun, back in the 1970s!😎
He was always tinkering with ideas like that.
He once built a homemade tractor... about the size of an old 8N or 9N Ford tractor.
Model A frame;
Front suspension was modified from an early '60s Chevy C10;
The engine was a 235 from a 1962 Chevy, (not the same one that the suspension was from);
Transmission was a 4spd, that also had a "low/high" range, that came from a latter 1950s Chevy grain truck;
Entire rear end was the only tractor parts on the thing, as it was from an old B. F. Avery tractor;
The radiator was from a 1954 Chevy pickup;
Gas tank was from an early '70s Datsun car;
The hood was from a 1967 Chevy Bel Air... and was greatly modified from the original "flat" shape, into a "U" shape... to cover the top and sides of the engine;
Steering wheel and steering linkage were from a 1940s Chevy pickup;
And the seat was from an old school bus.
Damnedest thing I ever seen.😎😎😎😎
He hadn't built it to do farm work.
Instead, he had built it mostly just because he could.😁😁😁😁
That is one of the coolest projects I've ever seen and it's the kind of project that my mind thinks about in a way. I was just wondering if you think you could put a 22 horsepower predator engine on that with the V-Twin 4-stroke
I’ve always wanted a go kart as a kid and seeing this little thing sparks wholesome feelings in my heart.
God bless you man
Might as well be a Lotus with how far you took the whole "add lightness" thing. Very cool.
Looks like a lot of fun.👍👍
Now I've had bad idea's and I've seen bad idea's but this ain't one of'em. 😎 It even rides like a Hotrod. Good old fashion Hot rodding spirit right here. Nice Job. 💪💯
Super cool, I wish I had the time and mind to build something like that, 👍🏼 🍻🍻
Thats really cool, I'd love to ride in that thing thanks for sharing 👍
I want one of these with a 22hp twin cyl diesel and a turbo. Could even go with an Np435 and save a few extra lbs. Looks like a lot of fun.
Nice! I appreciate the work and you showing it. Sounds great too.
Thank you for the inspiration Fr man imma do this set up or something similar on a 1982 Cressida and it’s gonna be my farm kart
Pretty damn cool if I might say so myself ! Looks like you did a great job on it ! looks like it works extremely well keep up the good work sir👍🏼🫡
This is cool this guy's got one heck of an imagination great job I like it
first impressions... my first impression was "why?!" but after he looked over it alittle.. that thing is great!
I love it. I used to dream of having some kind of mini car like this when I was a kid. I did have a 74 Chevrolet fiberglass body go card. Had it from 1980 til 2017 when I finally got rid of it. Great video. Thank you
That is so cool!! Sounds like you're running a little lean. You have just the right amount of weight for that engine. That must be a blast to drive! AND you could upgrade to the Harbor Freight V-Twin! 😃
Very cool! Love the idea. I'd like to see it on a track to check out how it halls ass!
From a Ragner to a Kei Truck. AWESOME!!! This is Freakign awesome!
I LOVE IT. I will have three of these for my ranch please. So cool to see people doing creative and productive things that has meaning and enjoyment for others. Two thumbs up.
I dig it! Nice creation! I converted a golf cart from electric to gas with a predator 212cc. Lots of fab work And lots of fun! Keep it up! Thanks for the video
That looks like a lot of fun. Cool build.
That Duromax is pushing her around surprisingly well considering the weight.
Lol aint nothin left of the ranger but the damn chopped doors that's something else
You are awsome!! I'm a ranger fan and I love this! Thank you for sharing!
That is absolutely wonderful,i Love it!!!!!
one of the coolest builds ive ever seen, ive subscribed for future progress cant wait to see the next one
Thanks! More to come soon!
Same
@@cars-bikesfabrication2887 I'll be waiting to , great job .
Very classy , bet it's fun to love it 😀
I suppose we forgot what true hotrods are!
Nice❤
Built in OG gunshot backfires too! "Love it"!!!
More like a go kart with ranger parts. Still, looks SUPER fun!
That is friggin sweet!! 🤘😆🤘
Very cool project I've ever seen of a go kart man, I love it!
It looks more sturdier and powerful than a full size Ford !
I feel inspired to build something after seeing this video.
There is a video on u tube of a man that builds classic cars from the 1950s out of old refrigerator metal boxes .they look like the real car except a smaller scale size. Very sharp looking and you can drive them on the street . Check it out.
@@phillipanderson2607 Thanks, will do!
That is a way cool assemblage of parts and it makes me smile a lot
Love it... Looks like you are having FUN... 👍
Cool !!
Fair play to you sir
Looks great fun man 👍👍👍👍
VERY COOL MY FRIEND !! LOVE TO SEE THE BELLHOUSING ADATER !!
That’s a cool little truck. I like it a lot!
I have nothing to do scrap power and a few parts here you go I like the ideal the transmission now that is pretty cool I hope the hydraulic brakes work real good unless you're lying on the emergency brake cable.
First great creativity I like to take jeep wrangler bodies and turn them into ratrods built a couple with my kids as projects when they were 9 or 10
When I was a teenager in the 60s a friend of mine, Kenny, had an old monster size Indian motorcycle. The engine did not work. I had a Briggs & Strattan lawnmower engine that did. So, we removed the Indian engine and replaced it with the Briggs with a centrifical clutch. Yes it moved. If you were on level ground and gave it a big push you could go about 25mph+ . I called it Monument Propulsion, the farther you traveled the faster it would go. I didn't know what its top speed could possibly be because we never had a long enough level straightaway to find out.
Needs a Harley Davidson evo motor!! Very cool build.
Now I have a good idea for my old cab that was wrecked. Thank you.
Super cool , I cant wait to see more video's.
This is oh so Perfect It's really all anybody ever really needed Now days you can't even ride a bicycle safely through town 🙏 💛
Wow thats really a great idea! Reminiscent of mopeds being turned into slingshot three wheelers
I wish I could 'heart' this fine piece of work.
Ha thats awesome, excellent re use of an old ranger.
What a cool project to work with your kids , teach them something and have fun at the same time lol
right on mate, looks like a fun little getting round rig
Excellent ! Maybe notch those sides down some to add to the roadster look and aid entry / exit.
That's so cool 😎 looking. Nice build⚡👏⚡
That's what it's all about! Cool lil ride man. Cool lil ride.
Coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile
That's a lil kick in the ass fun kart 👍👍👍👍👍
This is the coolest thing ever.
Aw this is just too cool. I really need to build something like this!
that's pretty clever with the truck transmission
..wanna say, it looks ..almost, like, a model T, Roadster.
..so Cool.
I absolutely love this. Gives me an idea for this junked out S-10 sitting in the backyard. I wonder what my mother-in-law would take for it?
We need to see alot more of this !!! What's the top speed?
The limiting factor may be that primitive steering thing. If the steering is not good then you'll eventually lose it at higher speed. Me personally, I'd spare no expense on my steering setup.
I would assume on a flat it could probably flirt with 60 or so mph but with that steering and no suspension it would be pretty hairy. I base my guess on the top speed of the upgraded 16hp Citroen 2cv which was similar (55-60mph, 70mph for the 29hp variants...but the 2cvs were also more aerodynamic.) Then again, the gearing of this is not optimized for the power of the motor he is running so it may only be able to manage 45-50 still a thrill in any case.
Another comparison (particularly since this used to be a Ford) would be a model T (22hp and 45mph)
FWIW going 25mph in that roadster probably feels like the speed of sound 😊...all those other cars I mentioned have suspensions!
Seems perfectly suited for intended purpose (slowly cruising around at a car meet)
The reverse is the best part !!!
Subscribed. Awesome! Please keep posting on the build. Love to hear it run and drive. Top speed? How does it do on hills? A good video would be a detailed walk around followed by a drive down the road. Good stuff!
Will make a driving video soon!
my guess it can run over 50 mph with that 5speed
@@cars-bikesfabrication2887looks like you could put a 4 cylinder in it you dam near building a hot rod how they did it back in the day use what you got around. The part of the bay area of California where I live the police don't harass people riding electric or motor bike's of all different type's. I thought about building something with 4 wheels that my wheel chair can roll on it to get to the grocery store. Might be thinking a build like yours. Plenty of wrecked car's truck's in the wrecking yard or find a wrecked one.
I absolutely love it what a great idea and I love your spirit and that no matter how old you get you can still have fun thanks for sharing your video
Quick some one post online blue prints to this awesomeness before musk gets hold of it.😂
That is freaking awesome!
A brilliant idea.
Best built ford I’ve ever seen
Super cool peace buddy. Keep up the good work
