[HOONIGAN] DT 057: 84-Year-Old Hot Rod Gets Reckless

[Music] so today got here a little early it's pretty excited about coming to work and I'd like to do a little morning jams so drawing so like that so you might recognize them one of our office mates here down in tonight then I don't have a Manhattan no I think that that yeah I think I captured it his essence yep that's it that's it I got it the look I got the look I got it see yep after harassing kekaula right now I'm gonna go check out a friend who came by with a 19 or not 1980 and 84 year old car suppose to be pretty special let's go check it out right now nice for this thing that's really sick even cacao is Paul Offit so TJ yes tell us all about your uh your Plymouth here this is a 1933 Plymouth four-door sedan it started its life as a movie car it was Denzel Washington's calling the Great Debaters I worked at a picture car facility had my eye on it for a while took about six months but finally traded out some work and got a hold of it what did it look like when you got it it was all original it was like klappa oh so it wasn't the no no no no no it was all original inline six it had really good potential I just kept seeing it you know it wasn't wasn't real tall like the forwards and everybody has done forwards before and it was unique and kind of a Mopar guy so so you built this yes which the cuts right to my next question yeah everything but basically put the shell okay took the shell off can't make it custom real quick right when I walked out the door I seen this car before but today for whatever reason in my head I thought of Isaac Hayes Hot Buttered Soul from 1969 side one track one walk on by which is actually a cover of a Dionne Warwick song everyone's heard the loop everyone's heard the loose and I'm sure we'll put some clips in him some footage of it [Music] [Music] that's what's remaining me up it's not super no my god John thanks for dropping knowledge like that though this reminds me of this because you get from the group and had attitudes just sitting there this car looks bad no matter what it just looks like it's ready to do it I think John likes this car I love this car so that's good so my next question back to back you that people don't just build this what do you do like this is your you have to be well this one a crash we have a fabrication shop there yeah yeah yeah fabrication my passion is he's old I like the old stuff we make our living building courses this is whoa whoa whoa stop stop you briefly mentioned this but in passing that was no big deal what kind of needy air-cool yeah yeah we're the fabrication shop for senior vehicle design if you ever oh no way yeah yeah you might have heard of those things before right yeah that's uh that's uh our main day gig but this stuff right here is yeah so attention to detail is like you're Trisha key because I know singers are like cleanliness detail counts right you know being thorough with what you're doing in your vision yeah front to back well this thing's like overwhelmingly nice yeah we got to start from the very front and worker because you've basically touched everything said everything's been touched except for the shell with the shell we pulled the shell off and sold off the drivetrain to a guy in Arizona who had just a body so it worked out we really saved save two cars you should I shut the game and make sure that hurt doesn't come around yes yeah it looks too nice yeah I just pray that you save look everyone we should actually just send him home it was the most amazing thing as the body has not been sectioned the tops not chopped its man look at this they just look at it just let's start with the top just go from the front every single thing you've done get nerdy so I already started it off with a music thing headlight emblems all the trim all the door handles is original came off this car so this is everything has been modified so the girls been shortened and tilted forward obviously custom mesh grille if you look deep inside there the license plates tucked in there with kind of an air dam that deflects all the air what is this finish these like originally no it's all steel underneath what we call copper plated it oh okay copper plate distressed it and aged it clear coating it so so you know so copper plated in the distress yeah basically you pull it out it's a stage before chrome right oh yeah do you scotch-brite work and sweet and patina and they're not clear so custom grill frame rails of course the entire frame we built so I'm assuming there's discs under here so yes so these are thin Buick brake drum which there's some companies out there that actually make an aftermarket kit that fits the misconception but pretty common but you can sell these the thin drum with those kits doesn't spin it's just basically a beauty ring it's a fistful to spin so I took a Nashville Buick drum yet we machined all the einar's out of it machined all the steel out of it and it's functioning machine spacers and brackets little details abducted to it this is been tuned and I'm sure was a dish actually cat-like inside of that at the price it needs it yeah yeah I need some yeah it needs it directs dear what a calcium we built that underneath the dash by your feet is a late-model Chrysler steering box manual box so it's got the reducer in it looks perfect you know let me go I know Darnell wants to ask some questions because he's nerd out on this as much as we are so let's go grab him go grab him this is a picture i shilin right Galpin yeah does this because it looks mean so killer Darnell you like this car it's rad right it's too nice to be in our live I know you have questions because we're just starting out with the brakes already right yeah Axel's off a 56 Ford f-100 problem drop three inches that's extra code on them that's actually a powder coat it's uh it's a aluminum look powder coaters in the first first of its kind Pacific Coast powder coating I've been a caster and I was kind of skeptical about it at first and I wanted to look too cheesy you know but uh cabinet cabinet room is like do this is this great look and it's kind of what I'm going for it gives it that cast look you know as a we welded the plates in and all the detail in the frame it kind of has this cat's look to it anyway so ya know actually worked out alright I was kind of scared at first but I started is it on air in the back yeah that's my next question back of course something this low you need to get over the speed bumps and under the trailer so plus being a four-seater you get you voted down with a couple people in the back and it pretends to handle a little bit difference so you still use as a functional four seater oh yeah yeah I wanted that was a I drove this car all original for about six months before I never cut it up there the best part about it was you had friends in the back with you know a lot of these cars these days everybody's into the two seater and gets rid of everything but to be able to go we go on long road trips and car shows and you'd be able to either pack all your gear in the back or take your friends and the girls out to dinner with it is like one of my favorite parts about this super rare not many people do this to the floor dorsum it's modern but the wood what it looks a little dude it just was right when I started I thought you're gonna tell me a story about a Graz and I wish I wish I came out of a Van Nuys showroom but that seat is original C was original we chopped it down I wanted to make it level with the lower the bottom of the window frame so original seat just lowered it of course we had to notch it and do a special fitment there to fit the tunnel yeah yeah just noticed I just realized I just went over this and I just realized the cutout for no steering yeah so that's crazy just one of those things that I've you know growing up but I always go through magazines and see these old open wheel cars with Cal stirring and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever to have that he drives it yeah it gets driven that's rad how was a drive with a direct steer on it the kouachi pretty good yeah it's all about the box you know we've got a good ratio in the box and then it's not too loose so it drives actually great you can take your hands off 90 whoo oh nice so it's the night June 1956 354 Hemi so it's late model so it started its life as a Marine Hemi out of the boat I found it in the desert it was reverse rotating a lot of motors back then it boats had two motors so one would rotate oh he was in pretty bad shape all that's really left of it was the valve covers the adjustable offers which is a pretty cool deal if you see any any handy valve covers with these knobs that means it was either an industrial Hemi or a marine Hemi is a head adjustable rockers this is super sought after boosah round didn't even get this I get hammered off the fan shroud so with these wheels man I have these I could you know I wanted that I've seen a couple cars with these spokes and kind of fell in love with them and they're not the Dayton's but they're more of a classier old school so I had a head wheel Smith make these for us custom offsets as you can see the back is really wide Opena deep-dish yeah final a wheel along with that that nine inch rear end thinks so identifying something about four through the doors yeah show everyone like you don't just jump in it and grab it for the for the door to be open to had to have a certain offset so what they ended up doing is flipping the whole wheel inside out and then we spoking it which gave it an offset and Echidna gave it that deep dish no perfect I love it straight they stay straight you know old spokes cars trying to use an old original wheel and no matter how straight you get it it's gonna change from day to day depending on how you drive yep pillar man there's no one I something that chopper that's like a Harley chopper to you know pop out the cap just twist it to him but it's something clean I don't want something gaudy and now dude everything's crazy like there is no place yeah that's uh that rear taillight is off of I think of Cory's plumbing oh come on for some reason I haven't proved a whole back story but everything's the sailboat yeah cause it she's like Kurt says like floating power yeah think back in the 30s 40s they had some sort of reference between boating and sailing which I thought was pretty well with the marine Hemi you know it's just kind of accidentally worked out yeah does the cow still work that's actually the night air condition so check this out everyone that's it bet I get fresh air and say yeah and then with the rag opening on top man wow this thing is this thing is beautiful yeah thank you this thing is really beautiful anything else you want to war I mean I understand the chassis is probably as beautiful as the rest of car which unfortunately it kind of has that aviation theme lightning holes through everything and know how to build it strong how to try and keep it light and try to fit everything a lot it's really easy to lose all your cabin space building jassi's a lot of guys go to extreme one way or the other when they're building too long too stubby and too short that's not comfortable I didn't want any excuse to not want to drive it you know I've got this car to go driving kind of flying them any excuse at all to be uncomfortable or not going to fit for people they're not the other fit in years except for to build a driver first and foremost and then make it look good man it is it is beautiful we really appreciate man this is a really it's too nice to be in our parking lot it no it is nice it's not a killer clean I Drive the [ __ ] out of this that's awesome yeah so that kind of makes my next question if you drive it you're down to beat on it of course so you're saying you will go ahead and do a sitter in it yeah for sure okay I brought these tires just wait wait so you brought your bias plies yeah and you're gonna you're gonna be the shittiest driving tire you could ever start a car which is why all right cool I guess we're gonna get ready to go then [Music] he was not expecting this

elements never man alright evidence jar first-ever burnout - Donuts - just a [ __ ] up against the law no-one's ever I'm like genuinely nervous that is deadly true and that car is a shofar yeah yo you

Should be noted that it's built by one of singer's fabricators. The attention to detail is insane, and he drives the shit out of it!

[u/lostboyz]

That is by far the best car of that style I have ever seen, the attention to detail and functionality is just beautiful. Seeing it drive like that is just icing on the cake.

[u/Agentlongwood]

You know you're doing it right when the Hoonigan guys are getting scared of you.

[u/sFino]

Beautiful. I've never been big on antique cars that old, but I'd drive the hell out of that thing.

[u/THEREALCABEZAGRANDE]

Absolutely gorgeous. I LOVE the copper. That engine sounds beastly too. And man, that guy truly is zero fucks given. That's almost an AMBR/Riddler level car and he's doing aggressive donuts in tire smoke so dense you can't see literally inches from a concrete wall.
