00:00This is a precisely built machine. There's nothing like it.
00:08I 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.
00:15This is the craziest car on the planet.
00:23I'm A.J. Bohada, the Mad Metal Scientist, and right here is the medieval one.
00:28This is a hot rod car that we built entirely from scratch.
00:33It was inspired by a car collector and a weapon collector.
00:37He collected medieval weaponry and he collected cars, so I put the two together.
00:42This is a precisely built machine that's made to look like it's old and made to look like it's evil.
00:50This is the craziest car on the planet.
00:53This vehicle was probably about $80,000 just in material.
01:00The labor, you know what, we didn't count, we just had a blast building it.
01:03The building process started out as a 1,000-gallon propane tank.
01:08We cut it all out and we put it back with 116th metal.
01:11It weighs about the same as a Camaro with 1,000 horsepower.
01:15This is a 671 blower.
01:17We got a Fitech fuel injection, onboard fire extinguisher, tilt steering wheel.
01:22You don't drive the car like this, this tilts all the way back.
01:25Everything on this car was made from a rack of steel.
01:30We designed it, we built it, we fabricated it.
01:34The snakes have fangs in them, we hand carved them.
01:37Inside there is the purge tube for the nitrous that shoots the nitrous oxide out.
01:41There's 996 scales on each head.
01:45It took me 40 hours a header.
01:48Individually TIG welded on.
01:50Our fuel cells have all scales on them too.
01:53Each scale was handmade and beaten into submission with a hammer.
01:57As you can see all the pock marks.
01:59We have a 33x19.5 sneakers on the back.
02:03Custom made studs.
02:05We got a cannon in the back, but it's not really a cannon.
02:08It's my trunk.
02:10I gotta have a place to put my milk.
02:16It's a medieval car.
02:18Is it the most wind resistant piece?
02:20Yeah, it's got a lot of wind resistance.
02:22Is it aerodynamic? Absolutely not.
02:24A thousand horsepower and changing tires like you're changing your underwear because we smoke the tires all the time.
02:31That's what it's all about.
02:34Here's our nitrous oxide system.
02:36Here's our Fitech.
02:38Fuel injection system.
02:40We got spiked headlights.
02:43We got swords that are hand wrapped with leather.
02:46Here's battle axes over here in case you need a weapon when you're getting out.
02:50This is how you get in the car.
02:52You lift up the mask to get in and then we have a hydraulic override.
02:56We have the tachometer for the RPM, the oil pressure, the amps, the water temperature.
03:01So we know all the vitals of the car.
03:03And up inside the car we have a secondary control panel.
03:08If you look at the car, the car is not painted. It's clear.
03:12You know why? We don't want to hide the detail in the car.
03:22The car has an estimated worth of about $150,000 to $200,000.
03:28I could be driving the car for five minutes, pull into a store.
03:31People have been following me for ten miles just to see the car.
03:34You pull up to a 7-Eleven to get a cup of coffee and a helmet?
03:38They like it.
03:40What's my favorite part of the car? Driving it.
03:43You know why? Because we're drawing the attention.
03:45How many times do you see grandma pull out a phone to take a picture of a car?
03:49Never. But they do with this.
03:51So my favorite thing about this car is just driving around and making people smile.
04:01Do we plan on building more cars? Absolutely, as long as it's wild and crazy.
04:05If it's going to be a boring car, I don't want to do it.
04:08I want attention. I guarantee you it will be off the charts.
