Brian, After watching numerous Semi Casual videos, I've got to tell you that you are an excellent narrator. You, like your buddy Troy Massey, have a gift , and a unique style for creating and presenting truck related content on UA-cam. Good job.
Bryan you and your team are killing it!! What semi causal and FCR are doing with the industry that I and so many more absolutely love is amazing!! Your wife and family really love and support what you guys all do Simple jaw dropping 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤯🤯
Love the video next truck build should have engraved chrome parts and more custom paint, plus lots of L.E.D. LIGHTS.WELL I GUESS I WILL SEE THE FINISH PDI TRUCK AND 589 AND OTHERS AT THE SHOW
That engine is really sharp, but I see two orange parts (a boot on the upper passenger side and what looks like a hose front driver side) that stick out like a sore thumb - no alternatives for changing those out? Just curious - they glared out at me against the other really nice work.
Watch your channel regularly and its fantastic. One question have you guys built a dropped floor flattop Peterbilt 359 or 379? Back in the day when the length law changed in the 80's, I came across a driver leased to 3-WAY a United Van Lines agent. He had such a rig but the Peterbilt flattop was stretched to 96".
Chrome on a engine is hard to seal to not leak And if you are going to work that truck it will probably run on the hot side Chrome holds the heat not good for an engine
I believe that you are making a big mistake on putting the CB Mount and Antenna on the roof why ? Because if you put a average size antenna it will be too long and High. 24 inch antenna won't fit and give you too high SWR'S
Chrome looks so cheap and tacky on an engine and it doesn't matter if it's a classic car or a semi truck. Chrome fasteners look cheap and tacky as well. Why paint the cheap stock Monroe shocks, install a set of fox shocks. Polished or brushed aluminum and stainless steel looks so much nicer and classier. The ac compressor should have been disassembled, polished and clear coated along with the alternator and any other engine accessories. The turbo exhaust housing should be ceramic coated and I am not talking about the garbage ceramic coating used on headers. There is a ceramic coating used on the hot section components of gas turbine engines and the finish is a flat gray color. I have had many turbo exhaust housings costed that way. 20 years ago I started using 12pt polished stainless steel hardware and 12pt polished titanium hardware wherever possible. Why would you countersink and weld bolts into the frame, that is pointless since there is a much easier and better way. Get yourself a stud welder so you can weld studs to the frame for anything you need to mount. I have a Nelson 1500i which welds 3/16" to 3/4" diameter threaded studs. I use stainless steel studs with 12pt stainless steel flange nuts or 12pt acorn nuts and when I paint I mask the threaded part off. Since I have had this stud welder I have found more and more uses for it. My business is building custom cars, hot rods and resto-mods. The level of detail in the custom car industry is so far beyond what it done on semi trucks. I am currently building a w900 for my business that will be used for transporting show cars and I am taking the build of my w900 to the next level and I will probably never take it to a truck show. My buddy owns an aerospace composites business and I am putting a lot of carbon fiber parts on my w900. So far I have done a carbon fiber visor, air cleaner cans, rear fenders, deck plate, cab floor, overhead console, headliner, complete dash, door panels, sleeper cabinets and trim and I am considering doing carbon fiber exhaust stacks. The straight sections of the exhaust stacks are easy to wind over a mandrel, the elbows are the complicated part since the winding mandrel must be dissolvable in water.

Simple jaw dropping 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤯🤯
The truck is coming together really good can’t wait to see it in person….👍👍
I’m impressed with how organized everything is. Makes the process so much smoother.
Beautiful job enjoy watching nothing like watching hands on time

Looks great but what's up with the cabover.
I'd love to see trucks that look this good in the dealership parking lot.
Are you doing the single air bag deal on the front axle? Man that’s a lot of chrome and a bunch of work good luck guys I might see you at mats ❤
Good job💪👍👊
Yes sir looking good 👍👍👍🇺🇲
Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍
AWESOME 👌 😊
Been watching since you were in the two bay garage putting on light kits and visors. The one thing I’ve never seen or heard is how much does it cost?

The motor is looking good but it has got a way o go to match the motor in Bocephus.

Hey what’s up bros how y’all doing much love
You better paint a couple of them ac compressors .They dont last long .😂
Hello & that engine color looks 2 be the excat same color as the Tim gentry & westins truck ??
Probably used the paint they had already since they weren't getting paid to do it
Gentry went somewhere cheaper and they did a great job 🤷♂️
@@shakiepete7782wrong
Westins Peterbilt is being painted by Fitzgerald Aka semi casual
The difference is that Tim didn't paint it ....lollll
Who makes that stainless Def tank and mounting bracket? I’ve been looking for one like that for a while
Several outfits make them SH TUBE, 12 gauge, 4 states, Jimmy Ferrel, Florida Custom, Dominguez Iron Wrks, etc.
Could someone please tell me what clocking the bolts means?
All the bolt heads will be oriented so the hexagons are all in the same/very similar position.
@HammerPowered thank you very much for your time and replying I truly appreciate it :))
I know nothing about what it takes to build that motor… tho my two cents is, paint that STARTER. Look like you just picked it up at Autozone.😂👍
That starter needs to be pulled apart and painted with chrome bolts
Ставим лайк кто пришел от дяди Вовы!
👍
👍🏻👍🏻
First like and comment, hello guys
Hi 👋
@@SEMICasualShow love the vids and builds you guys do. Keep up the great work!!

No nesesitan pintor

Those all sound like great ideas.
