There are people out there who build hot rods, and then there are people who build hot rods. Ernie Adams is one of those people who builds hot rods.

This isn’t the first of Mr. Adams’ mini-rods. He also built a 1936 Chevrolet, a 1948 Mercury, and a 1928 Chevrolet. The entire car is built by hand, mostly from recycled materials.
Somewhere in the video, the following: “All the dashes in all my cars so far have been made out of refrigerator doors.” That, my friends, has earned Ernie Adams a special seat here in the Hooniverse.
