  • @christhefistful
    @christhefistful 3 роки тому +1

    Very impressive work keep the videos coming. Great to see craftsmanship like this being done in Manitoba. I would suggest placing extra bracing below the roof to keep it from oil canning and give yourself added attachment points for the headliner and any interior lights or other features.

    That was awesome that the Buick roof fit so well . It looks like it was made for that whole roof even though you had to do some modifications. Lol. There's no way you could climb around on the fender hood and cowling of today's vehicle without it crushing in. Stuff back in the day was built heavy duty.
    That truck is going to look totally awesome when you finish it 👍👍

    Hi Brent you're one "awesome Fabricator "
    You really cracked me up when you said
    "they can't see both sides at the same time,,,
    also aaaaah only people in high building can see my roof"
    that was my philosophy,,,when i live up in Utah
    i built custom race car from what ever came to hand
    race them on Bonneville salt flats i did a Dodge,,,
    with a v10 motor power,,, one hell of a fast pickup,
    like "s##t of a shovel",,,,i did my Co2 welding to same as you do
    hold the shroud with my left hand
    panel hammers all Snap-on,,, hickory stale,,,,
    plenty of panel bashing ,, spot weld rivets,,, stop distortion
    gas torch to shrink high spots
    Brent watching you is pure poetry in motion,,,,
    can't wait to future videos
