Great video, thanks for that, I enjoyed it. In there he talks about the hot rodder nearby working on his car late nights. I never have met a hotrodder nearby working on his car, but when I was quite young a neighbour used to work on his open wheel dirt racer speedcar style racer. Ever since then I have loved the open wheel dirt cars. I used to see them being towed to races, I only got to go to races a few times as a kid, more when I was older. It was great to hang around and watch him working on his car when I could.
I love hot rods but I am a gunna, couldn't build one and probably will never buy one now I have committed so much to my truck. But long live hot rods and those who can build them, especially the old school style.

We've got a dragstrip up my way, Sydney Dragway, and it is VERY popular, and gaining momentum. Been there a couple of times and it was always busy, and lots of fun. They run a gig there called the Nostalgia Drags and it is a very decent concern.
Thanks for sharing. I love the passion!
I love hotrods, but I will never get rid of my truck!

A lot of Ford Trucks of our era were heavily involved in what you see in the video - They were used as push Trucks (Almost all big engine hot rods were push started because of poor starters), Towed trailers and ran parts
Some even raced
