There’s really no one way to describe what hot-rodding is to people. Some perceive it as a bunch of guys that roll around in shitty old cars trying to look cool. Others view the hobby as one that brings out the best of your automotive imagination. Whatever group you fall into though, rest assured that most true hot-rodders could give a shit what you think and simply roll to their own tune. Flake & Flames is an upcoming documentary that explores rods in general and gives us all a little insight into why the custom car culture is one of the greatest hobbies to be associated with.

It’s got no roof, no hood and tires that are about as wide as a pencil. Handling, braking and climate control are also not in its resume, let alone anywhere near this vehicle. This is a Ford Model A, a car that is basically an engine with some external plumbing equipment bolted on for good measure. To most people it looks unfinished, but to its owner, this old car is just perfect.

They’re shirtless, somewhat creepy and into a genre of the motoring hobby that gets absolutely no respect. They’re Vanner’s, and apparently no one told them that the 1970′s have come and gone, and for good reason. You see vans are inherently sketchy.

I’m not saying it’s wrong mind you, but you’ve got to admit, there’s a reason this segment of the hobby is often overlooked.
