love your dogs hope your dogs last a long time miss my dog she pased she was 12 years old it stil hearts but that life i am 74 i sad to much thanks have fun love your show
I'd say your son is very lucky to have such a hard working and talented father. But atleast he helps you out. My son expects me to do both the hard and the easy jobs. Thanks for entertaining us. Looking forward to the next one.
Nice job on the front end behind the grill. You're good at puzzles. Thanks Brent. Hi to Pablo. Nice new logo BTW. (Meant to say last time.) 👍😎🕵🏾♂️🍺🎸🎵👽🥂
I shorten my own driveshafts too. I took 5 of the leftover pieces that were about 4 inches long and welded them to the floor of an old coupe project around the shifter to use as cup holders.
So they told you its impossible or you just don't know how much work is involved yet in forty five minutes the whole front is back and lots of stuff like some of the "whow and some of the go" lines are done now and your still standing upright so there is a plus... like you implied, why listen to the negs when the proof is right out the shop door and all the way out to the highway. I know its a good day when you can spend it with your son. I think that you show more by the fact of doing and thats what we all could stand to do is spend time with the kids and take the profession further with body builds and fast cars. Thanks Brent for sharing your skills with all of us
I love these videos because you're so resourceful in making things work that you have on hand without going out and buying adapter kits or aftermarket pieces for every build.
This is what old school hot rodding was in the 50’s. With no Jegs, Summit, or Rock auto guys just grabbed parts they could get cheep or free and made it work.
Its coming along nicely. I love old squarebodys. And Your Son is building one that I always wanted too build..Great Job. And Video. Thank You for sharing...
A great video, I like father and son projects my son has his own projects going on now , but he has two daughters now.. Always good to pass your knowledge to the next generation. Your son is very lucky to have such a Teacher that is also His Dad. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
Buddy and Pablo are just plain precious Brent. Thanks for the catch up footage, and another great job by Dad LOL! The wizard does it again with the drive shafts and intercooler mount! Man, haven't had a "regular" Coors in a long time, guess it's time to pick some up hehe! Thanks for the video!
Little tweak here, little tweak there.....before you know it, the boy's project will be done. great project and great progress. i have been looking for a lather long enough to do driveshafts.
Looks like you were stacking dimes once you got warmed up on the TIG welder welding aluminum. Truck is going to have the Masters touch. Looking good. 👍😀👉🇺🇸
Excellent video Halfass Kustoms (Brent) :) also coming together on old Chevrolet with Desiel engine and looking nice hopefully find old 1979 to 1982 Wire harness from 350 V8 Desiel truck to hook up with and yes maybe hard find also check with Rock Auto may have wire harness all need plus fuse panel to work with to !
It's ail those so called little jobs that add up to time-consuming and serious thinking to get them fitting right the first time to keep from having to do them over and over, it always takes me more time than I figure but it saves time in the long run, if this makes sense. Keep at it buddy you're making progress !
That Chevys come along real good with that Dodge in it it's going to be like the little general the colonel nice job squeezing all that cooling equipment in a small area and still got the the grill on in the hood latch to work way to go nice job
This bit goes here, cut this, that bit goes there. Everything comes together in the end. Looking good. Looks little odd with the narrow track on the back. Assume that's because of offset on the one set of dually wheels. Stay safe and stay well.
Were still waiting for the kid to make the grand entrance for this mod.....after all its his baby. .right! Anyways this is the place where all the magic happens Buddy.... You are the man... the problem solve.... the green light. Cool
Love the vids. Keep 'em comin'. I watch them, every one, wait for them in fact. Just a thought; why not put some hood pins or hood locks on the truck thereby eliminating the need for the hood latch completely?
I noticed you didn't clean the alum. with alcohol before welding, probably why it didn't turn to row of dimes pretty. Oh well ain't nobody going to see it no how. It's a darn sight better than I could do.
Hood pins instead of a safety latch? Or you can use the brackets to top of the intercooler to sturdy up the top of the radiator support by triangulating them
Love both of your dogs and all of your projects. You look like you should have part time work for a long time with all the cool stuff in your yard. How does insurance work in Manitoba? Can you get a dealer tag and have it insured or individual policies?
Looks like you'll have 50k (well deserved) subs any day now. Congratulations! Not sure how you plan to to celebrate your YT milestone, but giving stuff away is pretty common (can be shit you normally throw away) like a small patch of metal or a left over letter from the casting of the General emblems etc. Folks seem to like that sort of thing. Or, you really don't have to do shit. Lol! Thanks for the update man!
Hate to say it but i like the square body better than the General build. Its just my thing. I love the square body's. Still really like the General too tho.
First off I really enjoy your project and videos. I have a question the fact that you have a lath why don't you use it to cut the weld and shorten the drive shaft. My friend shortened rear ends, axles and drive shafts the way. He did have a saddle to hold the main body to support it after the cut. Cool project either way you have me wanting to do those types of of custom rides.
When it comes to welding aluminum it all boils down to a good welding equipment and knowing which aluminum is best to weld. There are lots of aluminum alloys that are unweldable. I personally like to use a spool gun when welding aluminum. Its very challenging when your welding with aluminum rods especially if your welding crappy aluminum, what I mean by that is dirty aluminum. Aluminum must have the proper alloys for it to be weldable which means they must be of pure quality. That's paramount. If you use shitty dirty aluminum it can be a royal pain to weld. A lot of it has to deal with what type of aluminum you are using as weld. for example 2024 alloy is very difficult to weld its basically unweldable. 1xxx alloys are the best to use its a pure aluminum alloy. 5083 is a good aluminum alloy to weld. With very high joint strength. 6061 is good all way round alloy to weld. And 6063 is good also 2024 is unweldable alloy. So basically you have purchase the correct aluminum to weld if you want nice welds. The more impurities you have in your aluminum the harder it is to weld. aluminum must be cleaned before welding or your weld will look like crap.
love your dogs hope your dogs last a long time miss my dog she pased she was 12 years old it stil hearts but that life i am 74 i sad to much thanks have fun love your show
I never seen anyone get so much done in so little time . I like the Chevy dully build but still got my heart set on seeing the GMC PAnel rollout .
A blind man on a fast horse will never notice that weld : )
We need some Halfass Kustoms merch, would love to have a T-shirt with the logo on there.
I'd say your son is very lucky to have such a hard working and talented father. But atleast he helps you out. My son expects me to do both the hard and the easy jobs. Thanks for entertaining us. Looking forward to the next one.
She's plumb golden!
The boy has the best Dad to do all these custom fabrications! 😎👍🇨🇦
Sir , you have been blessed with many talents !! Thank you for sharing them !! Be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!!! Eddy
Nice job on the front end behind the grill. You're good at puzzles. Thanks Brent. Hi to Pablo. Nice new logo BTW. (Meant to say last time.) 👍😎🕵🏾♂️🍺🎸🎵👽🥂

I shorten my own driveshafts too. I took 5 of the leftover pieces that were about 4 inches long and welded them to the floor of an old coupe project around the shifter to use as cup holders.

I agree this is a smash together build very creative.
This is what old school hot rodding was in the 50’s. With no Jegs, Summit, or Rock auto guys just grabbed parts they could get cheep or free and made it work.

MI Gone That's where the Bolts Went
The key is what ever works for you to cut them down. Your helping your son with hes build I hope he helps you as you need help too.
Sure is going together fast was kool to see the lost videos. lots of great ideas . Thanks for sharing :-)
Were still waiting for the kid to make the grand entrance for this mod.....after all its his baby. .right! Anyways this is the place where all the magic happens Buddy.... You are the man... the problem solve.... the green light. Cool
He was in the video when the bed was installed . I think it's him
Very nice work
Another awesome video
A grinder and paint, makes me the welder I ain't. Been saying that everyday for 30 years.
Another good one! If you guys ever get into the moving business, your fleet is off to a good start!
Coming together nicely..
It’s coming together!!
Another perfect job my friend
Lover your back grown music with the guitar !

be hard to get at I think as I'm sure he doesn't want em to poke through the hood haha
This is a great video. Like the fact you do your own driveshafts.
You should do a Dodge chassis 4x4 under the Big Chevy Panel....... that would be a great build....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗☺️🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
The man of many talents 👍👍🇨🇱 Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱
Thanks for putting that all together in a enjoyable video.
You made a ton of progress!! Looking good!

Nice show, thank you
Hey man been watching you forever I don't really ever leave comments but I love your sru# man good work.

To me old trucks on newer chassis is the best a guy could do!
your videos are the best
Oh heck yeah... Gotta watch on tge big tv
I get a kick when you laugh at what you say!
Are you keeping the Duly love that look I remember when they came out with that look and the 4 headlights. 4 doors, 4 headlights and 6 wheel drive.
Nice job man
It seemed a little crazy here and their but hey its coming together, Good job.

Flip the latches. Hood on core and core on hood. Might work ?
👍
Just put some hiod pins for the hood
Bet someone else has already suggested it but anyway, why not dump the hood latch and go with hood pins?
👍🍻
I was just wondering if you could put those big wheels and tires on that Chevy
First off I really enjoy your project and videos. I have a question the fact that you have a lath why don't you use it to cut the weld and shorten the drive shaft. My friend shortened rear ends, axles and drive shafts the way. He did have a saddle to hold the main body to support it after the cut. Cool project either way you have me wanting to do those types of of custom rides.
I have done it it's just for me faster to zip cut it then to run it down on the lathe
@@HalfassKustoms Cool Man you have the coolest show keep it going. You are showing us how to get things done, I like it.
What brand line kit are you using to make your flares and bubble ends?
It's some kind of Mastercool product

Cool
I was just gettin into the panel 4X4, or is it going to be a 4X4? I'd buy an old panel 4X4 if it were at least as dependable as the General.
