    That one is sure off topic for this place! At least he is driving it and enjoying it.

    Looks like a 1950’s style death-trap with cool flames!

    Having seen many death trap vehicles up close and personal, the video and still pictures don't really put this one completely into that category. One would need to see how well it was actually built.
    There are some things that indicate the guy may need to make a few adjustments, (headlight aim, and the fact its was getting dark and the lights are not turned on), but for all we know, this could be its maiden voyage out of the garage. I'll admit to taking a few maiden voyages in vehicles that were not quite road ready. Sometimes you just have to do it...

    I believe the video is from Thailand…a young kid there probably has very limited resources. Looks like they are having fun, and I can appreciate their grassroots Hot Rod build.
