    Mike bello has something that 99.999% of the people in this country will never have. The satisfaction of actually making something with their head and their own two hands. Man, what a unique concept in today’s world.

    Chopping a top is a very very long road of labor, gifted ability and patience. The older You get the tougher it is on your body. Mike is the best on you tube.

      No shit ! Yet everybody and their brothers know all about the guys producing junk . One guy even made fun of Bellos . He was talking about the guy who uses a mini saw to make perfect patches , then tigs everything together . He was saying he can do the same thing in an hour ....but he left out the part about using 50 pounds of Bondo to hide his crap work . He also left out the fact that in 20 years , his Bondo crap will be all shrunk up , cracked , and basically junk . 50 years from now , when somebody takes one of Bellos jobs and strips it down for paint , he'll say " Man , whoever did this knew what the fuck he was doing " . Anyway , I hope Carapilla is just off doing something else for a minute ....and returning soon .I'd like to see a feature video on Carapillas '30 ...or '31 ? . Keep up the good work Bellos and Company .

    The '49 Chevy Coupe is my absolute favorite car. I've loved it since I was 16 in La when I saw one in an old guy's yard. His dog was living in it. He wouldn't sell it. I'm 66 now so 50 years of loving this car. Maybe one day.

    Hey Mike you should be using the hearing protection whenever you using any power tool. No matter what kind of noise they are producing, low or high, it is having an impact on your ears. I spent twenty years in the Air Force working on different radars, cabinet blowers make a low rumble, antenna drive systems make anything from a low whine electrical drives, to the scream of hydraulic drives. I have been wearing hearing aids for at least 20 yrs. and it ain't the coolest thing believe me, take care of what you have left!

I know,it seems like forever. But Mike is correct about what he is talking about! Rewind the video again and again. I grew up in the Sam Fernando valley,CA. This is a patience game , get your shit done right, some of my homies had to wait a year just to get in a good shop. I now live in Denver Colorado wish I had a guy like Mike. Oh yeah!!

    Always a pleasure to watch The Master at work. Hope you don't mind a tip from an old Canadian vintage auto recycler ,but, those stubborn Yankee Philips screws come out easier when I whack the screwdriver while it's set in the screw half a dozen times good and hard then try to move it tighter first and then it will usually unscrew with your hand pressing hard on the Phillip[s. Works for me! Hope this helps. Now teach us the rest of that cha cha chop! I tell all of my kustomers to check out your channel. Simply the best neighbor.
