Seeing the ol' girl roll out of the garage looked like an army truck rolling out of the motor pool and on It's way up the AlCan Highway! Always a pleasure to watch Brent, I appreciate how you preserve forgotten relics (vehicles and tools) that would have been scrapped and made into next year's foreign econobox and will work better than anything new for decades to come!
I can see being ambidextrous comes in handy when using spray cans. When one hand gets tired, switch to the other one. Really liking the way it's coming together.
plz paint the bumpers oxide red it would set it right off great build cant believe the transformation from what you started with keep up the great videos brother and shout out from South Australia
At the end, the proof that a dog is truly a man's best friend. And, I love how Pablo waits at the door for Brent to open it when throughout the day Pablo exits without any help. Great videos. I don't know what the next project will be, but I know I will not miss it. Thanks for sharing.
Built a mud racing truck 79 chevy made my own pattern and camouflaged it, didn't care what anyone thought of it as long as I liked , rattle canned it and clear coated it became a hit everyone loved it , General Looks great to me digging the color .
Ok..here I go again 😆 love the look and very practical. I REALLY dig the red front bumper and you should pinstripe a nice red line on each hood louver 👍. Also, yes to dropping the driver mirror extension (and add an led marker
This paint job reminds me of a swb Landrover ie camo green.He went one step further by frosting in native plant fronds.It worked,but you had to see it to believe it.That grille and slats need to be polished as a break from the green even if it is pock marked pot metal.Coming along nicely as a double cab,but when ever you stop will be twenty questions from fans of that work.
The big problem with rattle cans is that the finish can look decent, but you don't have enough paint to truly seal the metal so it rust under the paint. My rule of thumb for sandblasted wheels was one entire rattle can per steel rim. My father thought that was way too much. He sandblasted a set of steel rims for his Subaru and only used one can of paint for all four rims. A couple of years later the rims were uniformly rusted. This was 1990s Michigan winters. I never had rust problems with my overpainted rims.
Years ago I made a trailer from a pickup truck. My buddy had a new spray outfit and wanted to paint it. I had a quart or so of blue paint, and he had a quart or so of orange. We mixed them together not knowing what we'd get, and it turned out shiny OD green. The General is such a cool truck.
Going to be hard to build something more impressive than this one. I think this one of a kind builds are the best, there won't be another one in the parking lot. EPIC !
I was rooting to leave it unpainted, but my mind is changed, I really like how it's coming out. Great build, hard to believe that's on a standard D250 or whatever that chassis is. Looks so big.
You know what you want i think it is looking very good it is a piece of art i am amazed of how it has turned out so far that will be fun for a long time.
Looking great Still watching and commenting as we go Thanks for sharing Brent That was a lot of work And worth every moment The General is digging it>Kool
I see it coming to a close and wish it was just starting.... I am so into this build. I am truly glad that the patina thing wasn't for this rig. The bed liner on the running boards would always show footprints bad so not as good as just paint. I did honestly hope for some chrome on headlights, turn signals, mirrors and their brackets, and the taillights. The bumpers have so many different options, black and some steps in the front one would be my choice. I don't think a full big flat face bumper would look good at all but a hole for a receiver hitch on the center or even on either side close to a frame rail would be good cause you will find yourself pulling something and its nice to see what its doing when pulling on that item. A really tremendous job.... maybe another one in the junior size as that one demands respect when you meet it. Chrome air horn an the cab clearance lights.... the led thing is nice for headlights but really..... a custom light job like the freight trucks on the road where they run another alternator just for all the lights is a bit over the top..... your doing what I can only dream about
Hi Brent still looking good, I was hoping to hear about the first start problem. Also there is a check valve on return line that can cause a fuel drain down situation. FYI. Thanks for sharing another great video with us!😎🤟
Great to see your progress on the General. The energy you portray in your videos is something I admire, learn from, and enjoy; especially your music choices. I wish you well and please keep up the great work, thank you! Happy trails.
Nice truck. What a lot of work. Nicely done. Remove the mirrors and paint them rattle can silver, then do the radiator cover at the same time. Keep up the good work! !!!!
Really like the work you do, the truck is cool. As a car builder myself I can really appreciate the effort you put in to preserving these old relics . But you are forgetting one very important thing, you need to preserve yourself. Everything thing we work with as car builders is trying to kill us. Sand blasting, old paint that probably contains lead, bondo dust, spray paint, your body can only take so much. please wear a mask.
Top dawg Carona and I were going through withdrawals! It is looking good! Glad to see driver's side back door got sandblasted! I love how the dog lets himself out. I seriously just sit down and watch. Unlike other shows where I just want the background noise!
I'm glad you're taking the time to do a pretty good job on the body work you spent so much time with everything else worth putting in the time and effort on body work in my opinion and decent paint so many guys quit at that point doing a great job I love your videos keep them coming thanks
I am absolutely loving this truck, enjoy every video you put out. I don’t know if I’ll ever build another but the things I’ve learned from you will certainly come in handy if I do
I'am Earl Scheib, And I'll paint any car for $19.95.......And you could spot his paint jobs a mile away....It was up to the customer to tape the car off...If not taped; it got painted..With some of the strangest colors I ever saw.
It's looking good for a rattle can paint 🎨 job, I'll most likely try it out on the 1929 Dodge Sedan I bought to start with. "A man gotta do what a man gotta do " keep the videos coming, I like'm .
Brent my Canadian brother, those older trucks and cars probably have a coat or two of lead-based paint on them, I suggest you wear a mask when sanding and grinding on them. We want you healthy for the next kick-ass projects!👍😄 Allan in Stockholm
And so we say goodbye to the most hated blue door on UA-cam. I’m sure that’s the “general” opinion. Great project! Thanks for helping winter go by.
Glad I’m not the only one. That door been buggin me big time. Lol

ok finally :) nice to see that left rear door get some love :)
I tell ya, he's left it to the very end to drive us all crazy (and make sure that we keep watching!)
This is quite possibly my favorite build on all of the internet, Love this truck reminds me of an old power wagon
I say that the commander & chief has the GENERAL in good shape!!!!
I don't know why but from the front every time I see it I think of the movie...Duel..I love this truck...big thumbs up.
Keeps looking better and better everyday.Really like the looks of this truk!!! 👍
love the ability to "touch up" when needed with the rattle can. doesnt need to be "show quality paint"...."go quality will do."
Ya got to do one JC.. another great channel...big respect.
That old air compressor is just loyal. It fired right to life.
You could not have picked a better color for this truck it looks rugged very nice well done 👏👍👌😀🙌
plz paint the bumpers oxide red it would set it right off great build cant believe the transformation from what you started with
keep up the great videos brother and shout out from South Australia
4:35 on the dog is stealing the show. Looks like he's playing possum. Really like what you've done with this truck, it's a beast!
At the end, the proof that a dog is truly a man's best friend. And, I love how Pablo waits at the door for Brent to open it when throughout the day Pablo exits without any help. Great videos. I don't know what the next project will be, but I know I will not miss it. Thanks for sharing.
I think your idea to rattle can the General with that olive drab green paint was brilliant!!
It's just BIG and BEAUTIFUL. It's been really great watching.
She is coming along nicely!👍👍
I'm glad u cleaned that windshield, you know how I worry about that overspray. Just want to make sure u can see where you're going. :}
Looking good. Nice job. Can't wait to see drone video.
flat black the mirrors/grill/bumpers and rims and o baby what a machine! im loving the progress! great work!!!
“I never did a rattle can pain job, so I build the biggest vehicle I could so I could get some practice” 😜
Rattle can paint looks good 👍, truck is coming together very nicely 👌. Have a good day
The General is looking awesome!! Thanks for making my day better!!!!♡♡♡
She's really looking good 👍👍🇨🇱
What a awesome ride looks better every day 👍
Built a mud racing truck 79 chevy made my own pattern and camouflaged it, didn't care what anyone thought of it as long as I liked , rattle canned it and clear coated it became a hit everyone loved it , General Looks great to me digging the color .
Ok..here I go again 😆 love the look and very practical. I REALLY dig the red front bumper and you should pinstripe a nice red line on each hood louver 👍. Also, yes to dropping the driver mirror extension (and add an led marker
Led marker light top & bottom of each mirror. You have me thinkinf seriously about rattle canning my '49 Chevy Coupe in flat black. Thanks
This paint job reminds me of a swb Landrover ie camo green.He went one step further by frosting in native plant fronds.It worked,but you had to see it to believe it.That grille and slats need to be polished as a break from the green even if it is pock marked pot metal.Coming along nicely as a double cab,but when ever you stop will be twenty questions from fans of that work.
Blue door gone and in it's place is the blessed OD.
Looks so much better with the chrome wheels.
The big problem with rattle cans is that the finish can look decent, but you don't have enough paint to truly seal the metal so it rust under the paint.

I never had rust problems with my overpainted rims.
Looks great brother, can't wait to see it finished.
think it looks great wow very nice
I think bye ya got to put a coat of clear over the top of that paint . would look outstanding and polish the rims
Looking better and better. Liked you putting on the Salsa musuc for the sanding! Liked seeing you watching J. C. Smith's live today.
Yikes. Sandblasting with no respiration protection> That's actually frightening. I love this truck BTW. You did fantastic work. Amazing patience too.
Years ago I made a trailer from a pickup truck. My buddy had a new spray outfit and wanted to paint it. I had a quart or so of blue paint, and he had a quart or so of orange. We mixed them together not knowing what we'd get, and it turned out shiny OD green. The General is such a cool truck.
Right side looks great.Going to be a great piece when done
That international is coming out FANTASTIC! Just love this thing.
It just gets better and better! 👍👍👍👍
Going to be hard to build something more impressive than this one. I think this one of a kind builds are the best, there won't be another one in the parking lot. EPIC !
Pup: Let's go Brent, time for a few cold ones!😂🤪
Perfect sanding music.....
I was rooting to leave it unpainted, but my mind is changed, I really like how it's coming out. Great build, hard to believe that's on a standard D250 or whatever that chassis is. Looks so big.
Oh and the body work is really interesting too!
Looking at the front end you should make a visor over the windshield the paint looks good ..
That was some good music I like the horns. I would have never knoticed it had different m8rror. Looks good brotha.
your efforts have paid off . that thing looks real good .100% thumbs up
Excellent Work.
Getting closer day by day we’ll done
You know what you want i think it is looking very good it is a piece of art i am amazed of how it has turned out so far that will be fun for a long time.

It's looking good, glad you decided to go with the darker green!
Don't have to worry about paint matches love the build would love to have it
Lookin great! I would paint it gun metal gray but that olive green looks awesome. That truck is mean looking, old school charm.
....my bobbed deuce & a half gets the same rattle can treatment...love it ! ...

Quite a truck! It is an International with the heart of a Dodge! Your weather looks like ours! 7 degrees this AM!
was -20c this morning here.
@@HalfassKustoms Ouch!
Top dawg Carona and I were going through withdrawals! It is looking good! Glad to see driver's side back door got sandblasted! I love how the dog lets himself out. I seriously just sit down and watch. Unlike other shows where I just want the background noise!
glad to see your sanding them doors i was so sick of seeing them ratty doors
I can't wait for you to put them stacks on man I had a Chevrolet that had stacks on it and it was beautiful
Looking forward to seeing that rear door sand blasted then she'll be 'golden'!
I'm glad you're taking the time to do a pretty good job on the body work you spent so much time with everything else worth putting in the time and effort on body work in my opinion and decent paint so many guys quit at that point doing a great job I love your videos keep them coming thanks
Love ❤️ the dogs
I am absolutely loving this truck, enjoy every video you put out. I don’t know if I’ll ever build another but the things I’ve learned from you will certainly come in handy if I do
Hi! You picked a damn great color! The matte shade is an excellent choice! So you can touch it up whenever you want!
This Truck is Just Stupid Cool!... I'll bet you guys are getting excited about running this Rig... Thanks for Sharing... Brother
Truck is looking real good!
What an awesome looking conversion! Love the paint you got going on! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love the color , looks like it stepped out of a war picture . Need a winch or tow hooks on the front .
Brent..
Moving ahead I'm suggesting a rolled pan across the back under the tailgate welded onto the two side pieces should look just terrific.
I think Earl Scheib started painting cars this way. Enjoy
I'am Earl Scheib, And I'll paint any car for $19.95.......And you could spot his paint jobs a mile away....It was up to the customer to tape the car off...If not taped; it got painted..With some of the strangest colors I ever saw.
never seen olive drab , make a truck look so good.
Looking like a 5 star general. I Like it! Keep on keeping on!
Keep it up Brent looks awesome
Truck is looking good going to be a great cruiser when your done
Doing the stacks will be fun. Maybe spray the stacks and the backs of the mirrors the same color. Silver or something matching
Coming along nice looks great can't wait to see it with the stacks on it
Nice work on the truck impressed on how it turned out. Pretty cool for sure
Finally that rust blob is gone 😁 love the colour green, coming along nicely Bro! ✌️
This truck is looking good everday keep up the good work
Love how the music you pick seems to match what your doing .....like great sanding music !! Yiba yiba !! Lol
Looking forward next videos on more paint up the General truck plus turn out nice and very good too!
Boy The General would be slick with a set of heated mirrors
That's an awesome looking rig.
that truck is lookin SMOKIN lol Looks awsome
It's looking good for a rattle can paint 🎨 job, I'll most likely try it out on the 1929 Dodge Sedan I bought to start with. "A man gotta do what a man gotta do " keep the videos coming, I like'm .
The bumper and grill surround would look good in the same colour, black ,silver or white. It would be a good contrast with the khaki green.
Looks good Brent. Everything you do to it makes it better. Thanks. 👍😎🥃🕵🏾♂️🎵🎸👌👽
I don't know about the o-rings but the fuel heater really helps.
Lookin better every day Brent 👍👍👍
Brent my Canadian brother, those older trucks and cars probably have a coat or two of lead-based paint on them, I suggest you wear a mask when sanding and grinding on them.
We want you healthy for the next kick-ass projects!👍😄
Allan in Stockholm
It's looking great ! The color looks good on it so hopefully you get a few extra cans to have on hand.
it's coming out great. your doing a better job on the rattle can paint than I've seen on a lot of others that try it.
Oh and a fantastic job you did. I really injoyed watching your videos....
