18:26 "Basically we built it out of Junk" Brent I think that's been the theme for the whole car 😂🤣😂🤣 Love your work Mate. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Really enjoying this build Brent, and the extra content on the second channel too. 👍🏼 It's going to be a really cool hotrod. Thanks for bringing us along, I never miss any uploads. 👏🏼💯
Alrighty then….. shes got a fuel system…almost. We all know it kicked your butt…..BUT ya did an a$$ kickin job on it. Floor looked easy in comparison. Its all good!!! 👍👍
Great work on the tank, Brent! I like your idea of tucking the compressor stuff in the very back. Thanks for taking us on the journey! And the extra content on the second channel too. Never miss any uploads.
Hi again Halfass Kustoms Brent from here in the D Michigan hey the Motor city ✅😎 Thanks for your time and video it's a Gas watching you build a tank 😁👍 and I can't wait until it's road ready 🤩🔥
You always say : " Thanks for watching " but the pleasure is all on this end . Thanks for your time which makes for easy viewing . You make my entire day so much better !!! Till next time , Stuart in Ontario....
Another good segment! It might seem like it's kicking your butt, but from what I see, it's coming along nicely! Thank you for allowing us along for the ride 😊
Great work on the tank, glad you hung in there and finished it. Floor looking good wish I could just hang out and watch you work but your videos are shot with the viewer in mind I am sure I see more on video instead of looking over your shoulder and getting in your way. A++++ videos Brent
You have a thousand complements from me as to your sticking to this... still love the old ratchet style trunk/boot lift... holder upper thingie... as in words just don't fit this old mans mouth tonight. I been checking out the many new channels that have a thousand or less subscribers and seen a fellow struggling with a shoebox "refurbish" using this one very lightly. I have been on his butt to watch how to fix some what I call easy fix patches as you really did open my head with ideas... including my working my landladies old 56 international jubilee model truck she uses for a planter. It was left behind when my niece moved to Hawaii. My brother was going to just toss into scrap and then it got past him when I literally just drug it out into the back of our homestead... he was selling and so when he walked the new folk in to show them, I tried to lead them away from the spot but no way hoser.. he insists on going and finds it, cusses me but the young girl, my now landlady says "I LOVE IT" and so it stayed.... I now am trying to convince her that I can teach her how to do many of the simple repairs and if its running and driving with some things I can't do or teach.... she doesn't look at the bank book.... Ya, they have money they forgot and offered to take me to los vagus for the John Thorogood concert !!! I told her that I have a big gambling habit, best I not go and her words were, If you can empty just one of our bank accounts, consider it a favor! Brent, I do not have a gambling habit as I cured myself of that quick like a hiccup. I am in so much pain that I live on a pain pump... I don't have to tell you what they put in the damn thing but if you never did drugs and you were a elephant... it would knock ya on the "Booty". I just don't want to be around people anymore.... I am seventy three with nothing to offer anyone but maybe some body parts when I tip over some little one can see again... let them start now! I have got her husbands permission to spend as well and get her into fixing old rigs up. I got the engine in their jet boat going.. the 5.3 ls engine.... watching your videos got me in the ball game and figured out why no start in a quickness. Dang and anyway this fellow finally says, I am subscribed to his channel but I hate welding! He is on the east coast or it would be mine as he wants 1500 hundred for a V8 two door nineteen fifty model... bad floors and rockers but nothing that requires to all be removed as its just around the mounts.... he has brand new mounts in the packages plus some other chinese iem stuff and all for the fifteen hundred seems to me if ya like them, a fair enough deal. I won't probably follow him anymore if he is not a true builder but just a whiner.... heck, as alway Brent, Ester, Pablo, and any I missed.. best wishes. PS.. I like the choice of "cereal boxes" for pattern work
I loved welding aluminum years ago. Made lots of pure straight welds. Not stopping was one of the keys for me. Also really clean welds. Kind of like doing stainless. I very seldom used filler rods. Let the thick clean aluminum fill in unless I was tigging. Does beautiful jobs. But that’s me. I love showing off dimes!!!! 😁😆🥸yeah I’m old. 👍👍👍👍👍
Brent you are a top craftsman. I'm sure most people would have used a ready built salvaged fuel tank but you always go the extra mile and go the bespoke route. The finished car will be something really special and something you should be proud of.
Aluminum is the best material for a gas tank....hands down. But I've been told by many welders I know it's a very difficult material to work with. Kudos to you for the persistence. Looks like the tank is gonna work really well. Look forward to seeing the back of the car come together. Be safe and stay well.
Well big brother...... We watch and sometimes "no comment's" .... not that's a bad thing.. we are learning . We know that this build is Bad Ass..... we are into this build knee deep, the only different is our hands are clean, and yours aren't.
Brent I know you were saying that building the fuel tank out of aluminum was a big pain in the butt, but one nice thing to consider is if the car ever has to sit for a few months with fuel in it the tank won't rust inside. So all your hard work was worth the effort. This car is turning out to be one cool ride, I can't wait to see it done. Watching your videos really shows just how much it takes to build a complete one off car like this. I find it very amazing how fast you get things done, and still manage to work a full time job, plues edit your own videos. It's just crazy man!! As always Awesome conent. Keep up the good and hard work!!!!
Think of the great aluminum welding practice you got Brent. Also consider the great learning experience (don't make any more aluminum fuel tanks). You never know till you try. Anyway great work and great entertainment for those of us sitting on our butts.
PABLO said when making that gas tank the music was kind of a slow jazz my paw in the groove tapping YEAH MAN I DIG IT / glad boss finished gas tank what a pain / i think i heard a steel guitar later AWESOME me head is bobbing up and down / sometimes i just like laying back / went back to start of video a few times ( ENJOY THIS WORK )
Morning Brent!! Awesome job my Brother!! It's hard to believe that 2 months ago this car was yard art!! I completely understand the aluminum chips comment, that crap gets everywhere!! Also your comment about things taking longer than they should, I guess that's all part of hot rodding!! Y'all be safe! God Bless!!
Another great video, educational on building gas tanks, truck floors, etc. Well you still made it look pretty dam easy and with great results. But I had to work today and I am calling it quits as well. Take care my friend
Oh, you've been busy making shavings eh?? That fuel tank may have kicked your butt, BUT, you showed that tank who's boss and you kicked it!!!!!! YOU BEAT IT !!!
Last time I did it I screwed that round thing down to the tank. Been good so far. I used a pump from a suburban, that tanky thing was shorter than the others I had around by like 2" or more, made it easy to cut the stalks and get it to be short enough.
Brent that tank looked like it was a real pain , but like always you did an expert job . Alloy is difficult to weld but old alloy man thats a whole world of pain .
Brent, what a trooper. I promise I will never try to build a fuel cell. or cut a dash up, and try to make it fit into something. I hope it turn out to be suitable. Be well.
Great work as usual, took junk laying around and turned it into a real gem of a tank! I didn't see whether there was a float on your sending unit?? The floor is real nice too, really enjoying the build. I am not a big fan of welding aluminum, nice job ,until next time, GOD Bless, jim
H.A. that tank was brutal. I hate working with aluminum. Just move on now and don’t look back. Ha ha! Still say this is going to be a very special hot rod build. Thank you for allowing me to look in. Best wishes.
After looking at where the gas tank landed, and kind of where your compressor and air tank setup will be. I have one thing to say, "bootlegger's floor". From 1920 until today, Bootleggers will try to hide their illegal booze. Yes, they still have bootleggers in the woods of Southeastern United States. More so in the Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Anyway finish up the current floor over the gas tank, and closing up all of the open gabs between the floor and the body. Then once you have everything mounted where you think it should go. Think about a false floor to go over your compressor and air tank set. This will allow more space in the trunk for tools and suitcases. Just a thought.
Just the thing for Carona and I to watch on a lazy Sunday! Good job on a scratch-built aluminum fuel tank! Glad to see those Miller Lit boxes came in handy! The progress looks good!
He's a 1 man wreaking machine, he's not just a builder, he's a killer this guy. Unbelievable! 👍😉✌

Great job Brent ....
Alrighty then….. shes got a fuel system…almost. We all know it kicked your butt…..BUT ya did an a$$ kickin job on it. Floor looked easy in comparison. Its all good!!! 👍👍
Pretty ingenious use of a hunk of channel!!
I'm blown away with what you have done with this project car ,how you have married the parts together, keep up the good work and videos !
Great work on the tank, Brent! I like your idea of tucking the compressor stuff in the very back. Thanks for taking us on the journey! And the extra content on the second channel too. Never miss any uploads.
Mr B I think this is the best one yet,really enjoy
You make it look easy.
Hey Brent a lot of work but its a aluminum tank. No Rust . Good work Man very good work . all good for you.

I know that tank sucked to build but man it looks epic sat in there.
I learned so much from you on building this tank. I would definitely buy one. Just don’t have your skills.
Thanks Great Video.
You kill it buddy. U and make it custom are my favorites
I sure do admire your ability to freehand a straight line plasma cut, thanks!
This is what hot-rodding is all about.
Brent A suggestion, use a bunch of inter tube strapping around the tank to relieve stress. You shouldn’t have any crack issues.
Great work on the tank, glad you hung in there and finished it. Floor looking good wish I could just hang out and watch you work but your videos are shot with the viewer in mind I am sure I see more on video instead of looking over your shoulder and getting in your way. A++++ videos Brent
AMEN to that
Hey from Las Cruces New Mexico, been watching you and went back to when you started
Amigo saludos desde CDMX de 🇲🇽👍 ya casi listo para encender la máquina 🤟😎🇲🇽👍
Awesome job on the aluminum gas tank.
Nice, will soon be running.
Awesome content 👏
Awesome job Brent always Love watching!

When you were pressure testing the film being fast was so funny!!! You were LOOKING LIKE A MAD PROFESSOR !! Cheers BRIAN

Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching the progress. ✌️ 😎
BEAUTIFUL HALFASS WORK 👌✌✌👌👌🤌🤌👍👍
Hey Brent! Really nice work! Coming along great. 😀😀
Your output both with videos and the car is legendary. I'm enjoying every bit of it.
Congrats! Good progress. Looks really nice.
You seem to have an endless supply on beer cad cardboard, do you know someone in the recycling business? 😂 Great work, and I love the aluminum tank!
HeII of a job! Really coming along now.
Brent you are a top craftsman. I'm sure most people would have used a ready built salvaged fuel tank but you always go the extra mile and go the bespoke route. The finished car will be something really special and something you should be proud of.
My Dad was a master welder. He did dimes with stick welders, welded pipes. Did the keels in WW2 at our south Portland, Maine, shipyard.
ITS SO RELAXING WATCHING YOU WORKING MAN ,,, YOU SURE NO YOUR STUFF
All that suck on the tank turned out a fine piece of work. The gratification might not have outperformed the suck but it’s a nice tank.
Fuel cell is a great fabrication. Thank you for sharing.
Aluminum is the best material for a gas tank....hands down. But I've been told by many welders I know it's a very difficult material to work with. Kudos to you for the persistence. Looks like the tank is gonna work really well. Look forward to seeing the back of the car come together. Be safe and stay well.
You do more with a kicked butt than most people could ever imagine doing with their butts completely undamaged. 😊👍👍
that was one learning lesson for me Brent , drill and cut openings before welding it shut , so you don't have to vacuum all the shaving out 😁
Well big brother...... We watch and sometimes "no comment's" .... not that's a bad thing.. we are learning . We know that this build is Bad Ass..... we are into this build knee deep, the only different is our hands are clean, and yours aren't.

When you say you are calling it most of us already have you are non stop nice work and a great watch 👍👋👋🇨🇦
Fantastic work. Your worst work is way better than 99% of us. Very cool. Thanks. Cheers.
Think of the great aluminum welding practice you got Brent. Also consider the great learning experience (don't make any more aluminum fuel tanks). You never know till you try. Anyway great work and great entertainment for those of us sitting on our butts.
Always a pleasure watching your video's Brent!
Mighty fine Brent, this car is going to be so cool. Look forward to the next program. Keep up the great work. 👍

Also your comment about things taking longer than they should, I guess that's all part of hot rodding!! Y'all be safe! God Bless!!
Thank you for showing what you are working on. I always look forward to your videos.
Some more great progress! It just keeps getting closer and closer!!
Looking good.
good stuff
Another great video, educational on building gas tanks, truck floors, etc. Well you still made it look pretty dam easy and with great results. But I had to work today and I am calling it quits as well. Take care my friend
You are one talented man Brent! You motivate me to try and do more work on my vehicles after watching your videos!
Did way better and way nicer than I thought it would be. But holy smokes what a great job. That looks fantastic. Keep up the great work
awesome job
What a Herculean effort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅
Love watching an artist at work.
I see it takes a lot to build a tank from scratch, nicely done.
Oh, you've been busy making shavings eh??
That fuel tank may have kicked your butt, BUT, you showed that tank who's boss and you kicked it!!!!!! YOU BEAT IT !!!
such a bless thing to wake up every morning and build creat innovate fiind solutions Thank you for your hapinass
Really hard work you put in on this segment thk you
Looking good Brent Nice job on the tank and Floor
Bunch -o- work.... happy it's over. Nicely done 👍
Last time I did it I screwed that round thing down to the tank. Been good so far. I used a pump from a suburban, that tanky thing was shorter than the others I had around by like 2" or more, made it easy to cut the stalks and get it to be short enough.
Beer plus salt and vinegar chips is all a Canadian needs to tackle any job!
Looking great Brent lots of work on the tank nice job👍
Brother Michael Bristol said it all you are awesome to watch work
I still can't believe Brent fixes computers for his day job. He is a very talented Hot Rod builder.
Another awesome video 👊
It's really coming together great Brent !
That thing is coming along nicely Brent 👌
You say it kicked your butt today, I say you kicked ass, you got a lot done, great job Brent.
Like, share and tell a friend. 😊 132K and growing.
No one hustles like Brent!
Brent that tank looked like it was a real pain , but like always you did an expert job . Alloy is difficult to weld but old alloy man thats a whole world of pain .
Brent, what a trooper. I promise I will never try to build a fuel cell. or cut a dash up, and try to make it fit into something. I hope it turn out to be suitable. Be well.
Look's Great Brent , really coming along , awesome work .. Take care .
Awesome as Always....Great Update... Thank you
Great job with the tank. It looks brand new.
I agree, it looks like it was just built. 😃
Great work as usual, took junk laying around and turned it into a real gem of a tank! I didn't see whether there was a float on your sending unit?? The floor is real nice too, really enjoying the build. I am not a big fan of welding aluminum, nice job ,until next time, GOD Bless, jim
Yeah it's got one :)
I reckon Pablo could drive, the way he checks at junctions!
Yeh. That was cool.
H.A. that tank was brutal. I hate working with aluminum. Just move on now and don’t look back. Ha ha! Still say this is going to be a very special hot rod build. Thank you for allowing me to look in. Best wishes.

I hate working with aluminum, gotta give it to you.
Tank came out awesome.great job.
Just the thing for Carona and I to watch on a lazy Sunday! Good job on a scratch-built aluminum fuel tank! Glad to see those Miller Lit boxes came in handy! The progress looks good!
I think you did a helleva job! That was a lot of work.
Well young man I suffered along with you and the aluminum .I found it nasty to work too . More please .
It's coming along nicely Sir..Great Video as always...
I meant with using the heavier piece of aluminum to make tabs out of
Very nice job on the tank Brent.
