    I love the way you just laugh off the challenges! The kids want to help and complain but the older we get you learn to just deal with it. High blood pressure and had words don't ever help us out!

      My buddy was that way with his kid. Now he knows how to do nothing because he wouldn't take the time to teach him. What little he does know he learned from the friends of his dad who took a little time to teach him.

    Brent this is like watching a magic show, I stay spell bound watching how quickly that you think out a problem and hit it straight on. and get the right results. Kind of reminded me of watching a Doctor during surgery knowing what to cut and throw away and what to keep so patient lives. A+++++ video

    • @alsnow3582

      The way Brent solves problems is to look at it, describe it and say "ah, we'll figure it out". Next thing you know, it's done 👍

    You impress me every show how easy you make this stuff look. Obviuosly you have been doing this kind of stuff your whole life as the knowledge you have gained over the years. You tear down a truck in a matter of minutes or hours or whatever is simply overwhelming to me. Great show and great job!

    Cut the frame in the middle and pull it forward, you could use the tank again and just add a piece to the rear.

  • @bumpsidegarage3002
    @bumpsidegarage3002 3 роки тому +2

    If your putting all new brake lines in the easier way to make the chassis shorter is to separate the frame at the front where the front clip is attached to the rear frame. Cut out your desired length and put it back together. If you do it right no one will notice what you did. Saves changing your fuel tank.

    It is amazing watching you ‘read’ the frame, seeing possibilities everywhere.
    I know steel is expensive but what if you made an ‘embossed’ sheet metal/aluminium border that fits under the body, between the front and back fender, that would mimic the style of the fenders? That would hide the frame/chassis.

    Cool set up. Great van. Keep it all simple. Just move wheel arches back three inches. There is no written rules. It would look like a Bob cat. Don't touch the chassie and running gear. Slice the body arches back. But a great desert camper 4x4. Nice vehicle for somebody if it goes up for sale.

    i wish that property was cheap and that I could still work on my projects. In Ontario property/house prices are stupid. I sold and downsized and now I only have one bay to work in. The LS 5.3 is a nice motor. Just get rid of all the electronic crap and it will probably run well. Knock sensors. transmission and oil pressure sensors go.
