Hot Rods, Rat Rods: Back from Dead

This is a fantastic DVD on "layin' it down" when it comes to "rats" or hot rod insight, of what you're looking at, as far as labor intensive time, and thought. It's hard work to build from ground up like they used to do in the heyday of rodding (40's 50s &60's ), but it's creative and fun work.In addition, this DVD has great information on pin striping, with "SCRATCH", who's a master at laying the lines out beautifully. Ian Rouchell the rat rod-man considers himself more of a metal artist and sculptor , than a mechanic and custom car builder . This guy is an artist alright , and an absolutely unbelievable custom rod builder.It just blows my mind how a guy can casually go out into the streets , alleys , or local junk yards , and find what most folks would consider to be garbage, or trash, and make a MASTERPIECE out of it , or with it. This is a must have for ANY vintage car enthusiast. And for the price , go on and dig up the few bucks to get this DVD. Check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.Now, I don't know these guys, and this is NO pitch as to help them out. All I know is I stumbled upon this DVD at WAL-MART, bought it and really enjoyed it. And the music soundtrack is great as well. Cheers !

Overall the dvd was fine in content (as much as I was able to view). Less than half way through, the dvd stopped playback and I was unable to view the remainder, which renders it useless to own. This is my only disappointment. My dvd player is new, seldom used and all my other dvd's operate just fine. Bummer deal, but the cost doesn't warrant my complaining to the seller I guess. Oh well, my loss.

Very cool DVd. 2 or 3 different stories mixed together.. The high school autoshop was cool and the ratrod buiild was good and the soundtrack with surfrage was appropraite. The prodiction was good as well. Roussell whatever was kinda' gay but he has the mad skills. Overall I would say a good deal. a lot berre than the discovery chanels Boyd Coddington DVDs I have seen.

This movie was great. If you love hot rods and are thinking about building one, this is a good movie to watch. Very motivating and has some good information in it as well. Plus Ian is a cool guy.

This dvd is great. The soundtrack music alone will you have you tapping your foot to the beat. A very well done film about rat rods and hotrods. I highly reccomend this movie to anyone who loves hot rods, rat rods or cars in general.Watching the work that Ian does on the rod he builds has been a great insperation to me on the work I have done on my 40 mercury.

Ian Roussel is a great fabricator with an unconventional approach. His use of junk and scrap is great to see. He has such a great eye for what his project will look like.

My husband saw Ian on TV and I ordered this DVD for him. He loves it.

I bought this for my son who is 28 he and my grandson have watched it twice that I know of..loves it

Good delivery and great film.

I gave this to my son for his birthday and he loved it he watched it over and over. I was very pleased with mypurchase
