    It's really incredible how you can take all those pieces and see each curve that's going to work and get them all together so it looks like you want. Mind blown!

    I'm amazed what you can do with parts and pieces. Proves that anything can be done when you have a sledgehammer, grinder and a welder. I can see the finished roadster now.

  • @markbrown6236

    Who knew a couple of front fenders, trunk lid and a roof from an old Olds would come together as your top. Win.
    Glad Ryder got his quad running, Pablo snoozed through this video.

    Hi Brent and Esther, it’s this kind of creative trial and error that has me watching this channel. Reminds me of the crispy fried franken (steam punk) car. Great to see young Ryder getting his quad fixed, almost independ3ntly , while you worked.

    Brent, as others mention, I don't know how you look at fenders , roofs and trunk lids and visually process how you might be able to stich all of it together together tofit your vision and just fit on the truck. You are so talented. Your fab work is just amazing. Love watching

    Brent - your metal working skill is amazing. You have the ability to look at a complete roof skin from a car and visualize the sections of a curve that you well need to make a completely different shape for the roof of a truck. Unbelievable! What a talent! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. I really enjoy the channel.

    Consider: Two thirds of a conduit/tube will make a usable top cap for the cab edge onto which you can weld the roof back and then just set it on the back of the cab and it will shed water and stay seated. Bo.
