1925 Dodge ratrod and the builder fabricated an actuator system that lifts this thing clean off the frame like a drag car. Already sick. Then I spotted the Ziplock bag serving as an airbag and lost it completely. Builder solved a problem with what was available and honestly it’s the most brilliant detail I’ve seen on a build in a long time. This thing is wild from front to back. Go watch it. 🔥

Renault set up as a drift car and this builder didn’t come to play. Properly lowered, wide body fabrication, air vents cooling the brakes, and a big motor stuffed in the back seat that nobody can identify but everybody respects. Don’t know what the power plant is but this thing is one bad mamajama. Builder went completely off. Go watch it. 🔥

Orange COE Cab Over Engine truck and younger me would have driven right past this. Older me with better taste stopped cold. Engraved wheels, custom stacks, and a builder who paid attention to every single detail. Growing up changes your taste and this build proves exactly why that’s a good thing. Great job to the builder.

50s short bus and before you laugh just wait. Low to the ground, mean chrome wheels, wide fenders, and an interior the builder went completely off on. This thing turned every assumption upside down and the builder did it on purpose. I would haul some serious ass in this ride and not think twice. Go watch it. 🔥

73 Road Runner with a paint job that took me straight back to Saturday morning cartoons. Traditional Road Runner style with realistic pavement cracks so detailed you have to look twice. Builder didn’t just paint a car they recreated something every one of us grew up loving. Great job on this one. Go watch it and feel something.

Normally I stick to the older builds but this new Ford quad cab dually laid out on Rollie Floaters stopped me dead. Rolex floater wheels on a dually with attitude dripping from every angle. Builder brought me to the new side and did it with enough style I couldn’t walk away. Great job to JTX Forged on this build!

This one I’m calling Micro Machine Madness and it earns every word of that name. Big V8, roll cage, and forced ram air feeding to the back where the radiator sits. Don’t know if this thing drags drifts or just destroys everything around it but the builder went completely off and left zero questions about the intentions.

Old Slug Bug sitting low on BBS wheels with graffiti cartoon paint covering every panel. But Scrooge McDuck on the door stopped me completely. Builder turned this Beetle into a rolling canvas with a personality bigger than the car itself. Artist behind this deserves all the credit. Go watch it. 🔥

90s conversion van and if your parents pulled up in one of these you were automatically the coolest kid on the block. Rotating captain chairs, a TV, and traveling in luxury before any of us knew what luxury actually meant. This one brought back every memory and the builder kept it exactly the way it should be. Go watch it and tell me it doesn’t take you straight back.

Pasion rat rod oficial put together this panel wagon and that patina paint job is incredible. Never was a panel wagon guy growing up but they’ve grown on me over the years and this build is exactly the reason why. Builder treated every inch of this thing like a canvas. Great job. Go watch it and show some love. 🔥
