00:00 This is a precisely built machine. There's nothing like it.
00:06 I could be driving the car for five minutes, pull into a store, people have been following me for ten miles just to see the car.
00:15 This is the craziest car on the planet.
00:18 I'm AJ Bohada, the Mad Metal Scientist, and right here is the medieval one.
00:29 This is a hot rod car that we built entirely from scratch.
00:33 It was inspired by a car collector and a weapon collector.
00:37 He collected medieval weaponry and he collected cars, so I put the two together.
00:42 This is a precisely built machine that's made to look like it's old and made to look like it's evil.
00:50 This is the craziest car on the planet.
00:54 This vehicle was probably about $80,000 just in material.
00:59 The labor, you know what, we didn't count, we just had a blast building it.
01:03 The building process started out as a thousand gallon propane tank.
01:07 We cut it all out and we put it back with 1/16th metal.
01:11 It weighs about the same as a Camaro with a thousand horsepower.
01:15 This is a 671 blower. We got a Fitech fuel injection, onboard fire extinguisher, tilt steering wheel.
01:22 You don't drive the car like this, this tilts all the way back.
01:25 Everything on this car was made from a rack of steel.
01:29 We designed it, we built it, we fabricated it.
01:34 The snakes have fangs in them, we hand carved them.
01:37 Inside there is the purge tube for the nitrous that shoots the nitrous oxide out.
01:41 There's 996 scales on each head. It took me 40 hours a header.
01:48 Individually TIG welded on.
01:50 Our fuel cells have all scales on them too.
01:53 Each scale was handmade and beaten into submission with a hammer.
01:57 As you can see all the pock marks.
01:59 We have a 33 by 19.5 sneakers on the back.
02:03 Custom made studs.
02:05 We got a cannon in the back, but it's not really a cannon.
02:09 It's my trunk. I gotta have a place to put my milk.
02:17 It's a medieval car. Is it the most wind resistant piece?
02:21 Yeah, it's got a lot of wind resistance.
02:23 Is it aerodynamic? Absolutely not.
02:25 A thousand horsepower and changing tires like you're changing your underwear
02:29 because we smoke the tires all the time.
02:31 That's what it's all about.
02:33 Here's our nitrous oxide system.
02:37 Here's our Fitech fuel injection system.
02:40 We got spiked headlights.
02:42 We got swords that are hand wrapped with leather.
02:46 Here's battle axes over here in case you need a weapon when you're getting out.
02:50 This is how you get in the car.
02:51 You lift up the mask to get in and then we have a hydraulic override.
02:56 We have the tachometer for the RPM, the oil pressure, the amps, the water temperature.
03:00 So we know all the vitals of the car.
03:02 And up inside the car we have a secondary control panel.
03:07 If you look at the car, the car is not painted. It's clear.
03:11 You know why? We don't want to hide the detail in the car.
03:14 [Music]
03:22 The car has an estimated worth of about $150,000 to $200,000.
03:27 I could be driving the car for five minutes, pull into a store.
03:30 People have been following me for ten miles just to see the car.
03:33 You pull up to a 7-Eleven to get a cup of coffee and a helmet?
03:37 Nothing like it.
03:38 What's my favorite part of the car? Driving it.
03:42 You know why? Because we're drawing the attention.
03:44 How many times do you see grandma pull out a phone to take a picture of a car?
03:48 Never. But they do with this.
03:50 So my favorite thing about this car is just driving around and making people smile.
03:54 [Music]
04:01 Do we plan on building more cars? Absolutely, as long as it's wild and crazy.
04:05 If it's going to be a boring car, I don't want to do it.
04:08 I want attention. I guarantee you it will be off the charts.
04:13 [Music]
