Welcome to ‘The Midnight Express’ channel!
follow along as i teach myself how to weld, fabricate, do body work, and make my own tools to achieve my ultimate goal of building a pro touring classic Chevy truck.
I'm just a regular guy working in a single car garage and in my yard, I don't have a background in automotive or fabrication. I've been a truck driver for 20 years and I'm wanting more in life. A more full filling life.
I hope my videos help inspire someone to take a chance in life and start a project they've been wanting/thinking about doing. It takes money but you don't have to have piles of it.
Follow me as I build my own tools to turn a rusty truck I saved in to a #protouring truck

useful welding cart Pt.5
the finished product of my offroad DIY welding cart. no drawings used other than a rough sketch to visualize the idea. took the idea out of my head and put in Steel! I used the @arccaptain-weld MIG200 and CUT50 plasma cutter. as well as @MilwaukeeTool porta band, band saw. @dewalttv shop vac
I am super proud of this. now I can work on my 71 Chevy C20 truck project

Cool C20
@@hickeyskustomresto thank you! The plan is to build a pro touring truck with it
Nice job pal, I made one once it looked more like an armoured vehicle, way too heavy.
Did you build a killdozer? Lol Thanks bud! This is my first one
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 It looked more like a dalek out of Dr WHO. It's on my channel somewhere, I soon chopped that thing up. Yours is more what I should have made.
Heck yeah ...grate job
@one62projects I'm super proud of it. I think it turned out great
Nice!
Jackpot
Very impressive
@@WhiskeyDents I'm super proud of it
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 you should be. It’s really nice
Beautiful ors gorgeous, well dont
Cool
Looks fun to me
@WhiskeyDents I'll either get it right, or I'll mess it up. Either way I'm gonna get a hands on edumacation lol
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 plenty of places to practice lol.
🤣🤣🤣 good thing they make everything for those trucks. Just time and money 💰
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 exactly
The thing about time and money is very rarely do we have both at the same time lol
Oooftah! That's a bad rust issue!
Definitely. The truck spent most of its life in Salt lake city. But the upside is the amount of skill and experience I'm going to get from doing this project. Also lots of content for youtube 😅
Cool 😎 thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Awesome
@1776_Garage I'm happy about it. Trying to load up a dead rig by hand or come a long is for a man younger than me lol
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 I hear ya. I used my zero turn mower to push the Mercedes around. Now that's redneck. Lol
Your a content Machine lol
🤣🤣🤣 works slow. I have time to get the ideas out of my head and into the garage, plus the misses is side tracked. No honey, do list for me 😅
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 outstanding
Also im trying to get this channel off the ground and catch up to where you are at
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 personally if I could make it happen I’d do 2 videos a week. It’s tough doing Fridays lol
@WhiskeyDents I get that! Normally I'm slammed at work and be lucky to get a video a month out... but also I'm trying to do quality content and the channel is about a 71' chevy it's kind evolved in to a diy fabrication channel as I've realized there's tools and things I need that need and started building them instead of buying them. At some point real soon I'll get back to working on the truck.
That's a cool truck! Be careful with those death wheels flying apart!
@thejunkyardnecromancer definitely. It's a different situation when it started blowing chunks back at ya lol 😅
Cool
Hello midnight...we all have to learn welding by practice...over 90 degrees here in north CA
@one62projects it's definitely an art. I'm really having a blast learning how to, weld and fabricate. I have some projects I started and gotta finish. But I'm going to get to working on the Chevy and making content for that since this is what the channels actually about. And the heat 🥵
Howdy
@@1776_Garage howdy Bud
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 Hope you had a good 4th.
@1776_Garage I did. We didn't do much but it was good. Hope you did as well
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 We did. It's time to get a welding helmet and start practicing myself.
@1776_Garage right on! That's exciting! Take your time and go slow . I get in a hurry welding sometimes and it doesn't look as good as I'd hoped it would.
Coke cane siniffl
That’s exactly what I thought too
It makes it easy to concentrate. 🤫
I always got an onion in my pocket
Neat
How to machine parts, on cocaine.
@terencejay8845 not me. It's the pacific northwest allergies over here.
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 I'm in the pnw too... The "allergies" are good, very pure 😂
SNIFFFFF
Cool
I have no idea what this is but I like the way you presented it as though I would
😂 seriously 😂
The lesson here is any piece of scrap can become a part if you just believe hard enough and hang onto it long enough...
@@James_Haskin yeah but what did you make
Save some for me bro. ⛷️
Murica!
Thats cool mate
Thank you! I have a few more in different colors. All patina
I don't know why people have to get on here and bad mouth you.
@1776_Garage some people are only happy when they are raining on someone else's parade. We don't pay them any attention. Surround yourself with people who support and lift you up and are genuinely happy for you and to know you. Lifes a lot more enjoyable that way.
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 I know, it just frustrates me. Keep up the good work!
Looks good so far
lot of weight on his "shoulders"💪🏻😉
Cool
...yawn.
Respect bro...🎉

Bet you don’t get through drive through windows for shit lol although I’m sure someone has tried
🤣🤣🤣
I've installed 127ft almost 14 ft tall. Built 46 bridges to date
Nice!!! I've lost count of how many bridges I've delivered over the span of 20 years. But ot definitely takes me to some really cool and not so cool locations.
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 I'm up in Canada and have traveled many places installing these. Some real big ones up in our oil sands for the biggest haul trucks in the world
@danaadams4584 I'm in Washington. We did some 227' girders a couple of years ago. They shut down I-5 completely for us to travel. People were not happy with us lol
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 hahahaha that's awesome One of our guys wrote on the electronic traffic sign. "Good luck making it to work on time" Well we flew girders over a major hwy. At the end, another fella wrote "We done bitches" hahahaha I think we did 29 over passes on this project
@@danaadams4584 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it
I'VE HAUL A 111 FT BEAM AT A JOBSITE . I'M NOT A FLATBED DRIVER. OTR TRAINER HAULING CAT - PARTS AND ENGINES .HUNDREDS LOST JOBS .
Not 171 ft. I haul em too. Why exaggerate?
We need a truck for this beam ❌ We need to make this beam a truck ✅
I hope it pays good 😊😊
I am Up in the air hanging those beams. Ironworker.
You staying busy ? I've been hauling these and other big stuff for heavy construction for 20 years.
Looks good!
Thank you!. It's almost done
Good morning
Good morning bro
Looking good mate 👍
Thank you
Got my popcorn and ready!
Returning the favor. Nice Plasma cutter!
Thank you! It works pretty great when the breaker doesn't trip in the garage lol
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 😀
Thanks for the mention! Can't wait to watch your channel grow, will return the favor. Cheers 🍻
Thank you!
That burnt orange with pearl that treetop garage is painting his gasser
I haven't seen it yet but I will definitely check it out tonight.
I just watched the video from @treetopgarage and that is a awesome orange pearl
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 it would really pop. Not cheap though
I saw that color on his video. That's a pretty fancy color. I like it. I might see how much it would cost to have the cart powder coated. Gotta weigh the cost options.
Perfect welding cart
Thank you! I'm excited about seeing it come together
