Very nicely done. I'm 72 and spent a lifetime restoring cars with the date coded spark plug wires, matching numbers, correct hose clamps, etc. Then afraid to drive it so the frame won't get the Phoenix dust on it. Decades of foolishness. Love your builds. They are fun, creative and you actually drive them every day. Now I only do rat rods with the exception of when I build motorcycles, mainly Panheads that are daily drivers. Also, love the LS especially in this application.
I'm 16 and wanted to restore cars to that level but I realized that making it my own on a budget is so much funnier cause if I abuse it I won't feel guilty
Your way is to make it, like an art piece. Cut a piece, shape it, grind it, hammer it and then weld it. So satisfying watching you, wishing I was doing it. Thanks again for sharing
If we want to see danged-near perfect metal work, there's this Newfie we could watch. But we're here, watching Brent and Pablo and a 1955 Chevy becoming a Napco. Or as close to one as needs be. Sometimes, good enough is exactly what is needed, and entirely satisfying. Great job rebuilding that passenger-side cab. There was almost nothing left, and now it's ready to go. Looking forward to the slightly easier fix on the driver side in a few days.
I am fascinated watching the fabrication of these patch panels... Believe me people, doing this kind of repair is not as easy as Brent makes it look. Simple - yes; easy - no way... This guy is a wizard while doing sheet metal fabrication... Of course he has years and years of experience in doing this. He also has a genius-level eye for seeing how this will come together and can visualize the pieces needed to patch the next part of the hole... Trust me, it is not easy.. Showing us how it is done is a fantastic service to the hobby. Most people with some welding capability will eventually get the job done when someone shows them the way. Its going to take much longer and will not be as neat and pretty, but being able to use a welder and a grinder can make most of use look pretty good - as long as you don't get real close..
I totally agree with you on all matters Brent is a genius mentally as well as emotionally when it comes to disecting 'n rearranging metal that is expected to stay together at ratical paces. He has years I guess from the age of 15 maybe even before that cutting Cars and welding them bits 'n pieces together ain't no easy or simple task. Good on you Brent I watch most if not all of your shows that I can watch just as an interest because your mind has that capturing device.
Hey Brent, I just love the Simplicity of those old trucks a couple of bolts in the whole front cap comes off I mean what more could you ask for. It's a damn shame, the vehicles that are being made today are so complicated although yeah they get better fuel mileage will sure they're made out of beer cans. We are in the throwaway age and it just breaks my heart, thank God that there's people like you on UA-cam that just simply make things work. Thanks for sharing I can't say that enough!
OSPHO you can get it in st thomas USVI . Haven’t seen it in the states. It’s phosphoric acid. Spray it on rust and it turns iron oxide into iron phosphate. Bridge painters use it . Makes rust vanish. If you can get your hands on it you will never use anything else
Those air vents have to have a drain hole for the rain to run back out the air comes in at top vent by the wipers im sure ya already no that tho god bless be safe
In awe of your fabrication skill and ability to visualize what you need to have. Great work and while not perfection it's more than sufficuent to do what's required in a "not show quality anyway", truck. It'll serve the purpose for what is intended quite well. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks!
You're getting better and better and better at rust repairs. I don't know if you're noticing it, but from an outside perspective, since i've started watching, this repair here is miles from the first ones i saw. To me, this is the best part about YT videos, seeing someone evolve. You're never getting that without apprenticeship with someone, teaching or working with others. TV don't care about this kind of stuff, and is therefore soulless and boring.
Today at 75 I do not have your patience. Yep, I would have, I don’t know, sent it away? Hmmmmm I spent two years doing bodywork on a 69 corvette. I like working fibreglass. I think I would of fiberglassed these holes? I use special thick cloth! 🤣😅🙄👍 you are doing one hell of a job. Works for me!!!
Oh, this pieced tin-knocking looks all too familiar. I spent hours doing this back in High School - part of what paid for College! It'll get done, be strong (enough) and look like (bleep) - but it WILL get the job done, and that's all that counts. If it's covered, and whether by another panel or bondo doesn't matter, all looks good in the end. One thing - if the tail of that bulge is the heater box, remember that your cowl vent IS how you get cold air in the heater plenum: if there's no way to close it up you'll get cold this winter. Lookin' good. As always, thanks for the good work and interesting content 😎
You are so talented and i love that you dont do everything after the book. Its a truck and it works 🤠 this and the general is by far the most entertaining build for me! Thank you for the videos 👍
Hey Brent, I know most of your viewers are men…. However being a 61 year old gal I just love your videos, You do such amazing work-you really do!! You get so much done in such a short time. What I love most is “nothing” stops you- your always very positive with (any issue at hand) you see what most wouldn’t tackle as a (no biggie) I’ll fix that!! You jump right in and make it happen! Love this truck and will continue watching you- you’ve got a great laugh to boot!
Repairing body damage like this is absolutely fascinating. Where you chop out the cancer and surgically insert solid steel welded in place. “Who the heck cares what it looks like, no one will be able to see it anyways” is the best line in the video. This will be a strong water-tight cab and look the part of a good work truck. Missed Pablo this video…
Brings back some very happy memories working on my mk2 jaguar 1965 absolutely rotten as a lead football sills (rockers) floor 4 years of absolute pleasure to concoarce condition absolutely every thing remade ad adapted tools channels half round flat bars for flutes in floors brilliant content brilliantly filmed as ever
Love your work, please don’t apologize most people wouldn’t even attempt half of what you do! Your metal fabrication skills are awesome! Just please sand the old girl and put a satin black finish on the whole thing even if you rattle can it, it will give the truck a work truck feel and look to her
Your truck is like a pair of broken-in comfortable boots...A great fit, ready for work. Oh, what a great feeling...The rust? What a challenge! You can do it. Thanks for inviting us along for the metal working adventure.
I think it's awesome it works and gives it structure and strength. And more importantly will allow you to get her back on the road and a new lease on life. And in my mind that's huge and important. Have a great weekend Brother God bless you and yours.
i really like this kind of work practical repairs for a truck that will get driven! perfect! and the stance it has with those tall skinny tires! i like it!
That is perfect. I would done same thing. You talking about doing the cut and butt in there. I was shouting at the tv! You nuts!! Lol. I was in my element here watching this. Cutting and replacing rust.hahaha
I love watching someone else's metal work .I did my 67 chevy the same way. it apeers that it works two ways fresh air into the cab by flap inside to open n close manually. Also rain can fall through cowl vents .on my cowl t put window screen on the underside w glue to keep out trash .lam always looking for that same truck. God bless yall real good.
THIS is the video I have been waiting for!!! I have a '58 Apache 3100 that I have been wondering what to do with. I am absolutely positive that I will encounter the same rust issues you did - possibly worse. However, your plan of attack is exactly what I intend to follow - with the twist of finding another donor cab so I can make a smaller crew cab version of The General. Either a diesel RAM or an LS Chevy truck frame is the route I plan to take. Between your General build videos and this current series, I hope to be able to pull something off that is almost close to your excellent fabrications. Thanks again!!!
Love the parting shot with you and Pablo cruising , my dog loves to ride also ,have to hold her on the leash though she hasnt figured out she cant jump out at 60 mph , keep the vids coming Brent
Brent, years ago my late brother in law pointed out when we were doing cancer removal on my car at the time to drill some large holes (the size of a naked hose end) in the bottom of the doors fenders and areas that sand, dirt and crapolla build up Paint over the drilled holes to seal them up against them rusting When you wash your car go around the drilled holes and shove the holes in each and wash the dirt out the sun usually dries the inner fenders etc out fairly quickly From that point on I never had the bottoms of panels rusting out. In your case with snow maybe you could plug the holes with some sort of rubber plug removing them when a clear out is needed. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Hell Brent, that came out great. No more holes, got some structure back into her, and exactly… it ain’t gonna be no show piece. It’s gonna look hella cool and be fully functional. Keep on keeping on!😎💯
Excellent job. No one can find reason to complain about that repair. Like you said, "you can't see it!" So W.G.A.F. Strength and watershed is the key to that location and you have achieved that in spades. Only thing I'd check is if the door still opens. lol.
My patience. Stuff would be flying as heavily as the explicatives I'd be slinging about lol. You have great patience with this. Here you are making something out of not much to work with and turning it around.
What most normal people see as garden art Brent sees something you can drive down the road👍😁you really are a metal smith mate, awesome work as usual - love the height - cheers 🇦🇺
Yeah Brent it is good enough, the truck is going to be your daily driver (beater) anyways during the winter so anything can happen. Another great video on fab work on door jambs and fender supports. I think you said you were replacing the floor as well, that will be a good tutorial. Once you get this spotty rust work done things should speed up again and get ready for touch up paint job to match existing. Thanks again and thank care
One extra tip after you apply it on.& That dries good to. Spray on some used motor oil for second layer of protection against rusting purposes out there. It's just really quick common knowledge for ya on that part. From A old schoolers from back from WWll area.& To now.
What's a bit of Tin Worm to a bloke like you Brent , you got a welder , new steel , and most importantly you Bud Light C.A.D system awesome dude 😂😂🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nice truck. Living in the country on gravel roads is tough on vehicles. Our road just got blacktopped a few years back and man it is so mmuch easier on the Indian and our vehicles. That there is a going to town truck.
I truly enjoy your channel over Any other channels. How your talking in the beginning about how your going to tackle the rust . ( But I've watched all your other builds and know not to worry) you make it seem so easy lol ! Digging this build ! I didn't know those pizza cutter tires were so hard to find but I'm still living in the 80's haha . Godspeed Brent
Your fabrication skills are top shelf, I’m constantly amazed at how you fabricobble together patch panels to replace rotted out pieces. Not only are they functional but often times they’re better than the OEM. Keep up the great work. No doggies in today’s video, 😔
I would two tone the body after the body work and rust repair, and in then, if you don't like the new truck look, but I think you will, but if it not, you could always antique it...I like the challenge of shaping body parts, I've used everything from broomsticks to angle iron and even threaded rods and different size dowels. I've got quite a collection of fabrication things. And I've always been able to recreate and sometimes even improve the stock parts. The trick is, after forty years of practice, when it's all put back together, there's that beautiful silence of solidness, without any rattles. Kinda like a body restomods, lol. I really enjoy taking these old rusty rigs and turning a profit by making someone's dream car or truck. I've had a few years, I made more than when I working, before I retired. In My credo is, don't be a fool, use the right tool! It makes things go much smoother!!! Also, before welding it in permanent, I always tack it first, saves a lot of time grinding if a lightbulb goes off and I get a better idea and fabricate a better patch.
Function over form! Sometime I get to wrapped up into making the perfect repair and then I just don't get anything finished. Just make sure to seal up the inside really well because the cowl vents drain everything from the windshield wipers out through that drain hole.
Hey Brent. After you get all the rust cut out of something like that stuff behind and on those fenders,if you can get rust converter into everywhere you can, it will definitely help keep those places from rotting back out as fast. That stuff does actually convert the rust back into steel. When I first tried some of it back in the day i sprayed some rust with it then ground down into it and the rust was gone, and that is how I saw how good it works. I'm surprised that more people don't know about or use it. Alright man,Later. P.S. You're doing a awesome job as usual.
Excellent video Brent :) paint colors for that truck is Orange box called Pumpkin or Fruit Orange , Black is Midnight, Red is Farmall (Internationa) tractor Red or Cherry Red or funny one Little Red Wagon Red want plus same as Tremclad brand in Spray Bombs or paint tins or pails if want know that to help match colors and Blue is Sky or Baby Blue ! Hope like my help out colors match and Lol too! Did this at my break at work today for you to!
Because you have to deal with salted roads in the winter, I would spray rubberized undercoating over the black paint before putting the front clip back on. Lefty
Awesome work. I think I started watching this video and fell asleep, I watched the next video and then came back to this one to get the back story, lol. But as always Awesome work. I think I was three sheets to the wind when I attempted this the first time around lol...
Winter is coming and this one seems to be moving at warp speed. This will be done quickly. Your wife will need more than your regular 4x4 step to get into it. Can't wait for whatever your big winter project will be. Being from the Rust Belt, I can't believe you get 1/2 of the screws out that you do.
Rusty's da fender assessment, cab up up and chassis away, unclip da clip n on da eyebrows tip, sand'ns a blast blast blast, cardyboard templates fer cut'n n patch'n wif butts n overlaps,rattl'n spray'd wif paint. 2 amigos out for a drive.

Just please sand the old girl and put a satin black finish on the whole thing even if you rattle can it, it will give the truck a work truck feel and look to her
Good fix. That bulge is the channel from the cowl vent to the air vent in the kick panel. It will collect leaves and dirt.
Your truck is like a pair of broken-in comfortable boots...A great fit, ready for work. Oh, what a great feeling...The rust? What a challenge! You can do it. Thanks for inviting us along for the metal working adventure.
Awesome repear
I Love to watch you work. You are a Master Sir
Brent, it's like fitzee does one piece at a time, and you do your halfass magic, and everything works out perfectly at the end ... ✨✨👍✔.
You have done so many rust repairs, you just do it like eating a elephant. one bite at a time! Fine metal smithing sir !
I think it's awesome it works and gives it structure and strength. And more importantly will allow you to get her back on the road and a new lease on life. And in my mind that's huge and important. Have a great weekend Brother God bless you and yours.
Brent, front cab supports look great and probably stronger than they were when new. Good job👍
i really like this kind of work
practical repairs for a truck that will get driven!
perfect! and the stance it has with those tall skinny tires! i like it!
That is perfect. I would done same thing. You talking about doing the cut and butt in there. I was shouting at the tv! You nuts!! Lol. I was in my element here watching this. Cutting and replacing rust.hahaha

@@dayslife I keeps a eye out for that. Don't see them coming up for sale much.

I kind of agree with you. If no one is going to see it...who cares. I think the functionally of the piece is more important! Good work.
I agree. Good enough is good enough.
Can't get much better than that Boss. Well done !👌👍😉✌
Love the parting shot with you and Pablo cruising , my dog loves to ride also ,have to hold her on the leash though she hasnt figured out she cant jump out at 60 mph , keep the vids coming Brent
Love what you do.
Brent, years ago my late brother in law pointed out when we were doing cancer removal on my car at the time to drill some large holes (the size of a naked hose end) in the bottom of the doors fenders and areas that sand, dirt and crapolla build up
Paint over the drilled holes to seal them up against them rusting
When you wash your car go around the drilled holes and shove the holes in each and wash the dirt out the sun usually dries the inner fenders etc out fairly quickly
From that point on I never had the bottoms of panels rusting out. In your case with snow maybe you could plug the holes with some sort of rubber plug removing them when a clear out is needed.

One piece at a time. Turned out really good! 💪👍🏼
Hell Brent, that came out great. No more holes, got some structure back into her, and exactly… it ain’t gonna be no show piece. It’s gonna look hella cool and be fully functional. Keep on keeping on!😎💯
You make difficult stuff look so easy,would love your talent
Excellent job. No one can find reason to complain about that repair. Like you said, "you can't see it!" So W.G.A.F. Strength and watershed is the key to that location and you have achieved that in spades. Only thing I'd check is if the door still opens. lol.
It keeps the cold and wet out so it serves the purpose, nice work Brent, I like it
I think your work is spot on. No one will never know the difference. One small piece at a time. Keep up the great work.
That's how I do my hidden metal...close enough is perfect!
I like the look of the truck with the tires and rims it has on it now looks cool
Those tires match that stance big time
I'm sure your fabrication will stand the test of time. Nice job!
My patience. Stuff would be flying as heavily as the explicatives I'd be slinging about lol. You have great patience with this. Here you are making something out of not much to work with and turning it around.

When I first tried some of it back in the day i sprayed some rust with it then ground down into it and the rust was gone, and that is how I saw how good it works. I'm surprised that more people don't know about or use it. Alright man,Later. P.S. You're doing a awesome job as usual.
Excellent video Brent :) paint colors for that truck is Orange box called Pumpkin or Fruit Orange , Black is Midnight, Red is Farmall (Internationa) tractor Red or Cherry Red or funny one Little Red Wagon Red want plus same as Tremclad brand in Spray Bombs or paint tins or pails if want know that to help match colors and Blue is Sky or Baby Blue ! Hope like my help out colors match and Lol too! Did this at my break at work today for you to!
You made that look so easy; I was depressed just looking at it, but watching youwork thru it, one piece at a time, and you restored the function.
Because you have to deal with salted roads in the winter, I would spray rubberized undercoating over the black paint before putting the front clip back on. Lefty
Awesome work. I think I started watching this video and fell asleep, I watched the next video and then came back to this one to get the back story, lol. But as always Awesome work. I think I was three sheets to the wind when I attempted this the first time around lol...
Another great job!
Yep we got to have a mini.... general.... great.
Nice patch job , it will last a long time .
Fixed. They had multi ton presses when they built it. You don't need it to look the same. Just be strong. 👍
Outstanding Brent you get my vote👍✌
Nice work again Brent, once the guard is on 👍👍. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Winter is coming and this one seems to be moving at warp speed. This will be done quickly. Your wife will need more than your regular 4x4 step to get into it. Can't wait for whatever your big winter project will be.
Being from the Rust Belt, I can't believe you get 1/2 of the screws out that you do.
Rusty's da fender assessment, cab up up and chassis away, unclip da clip n on da eyebrows tip, sand'ns a blast blast blast, cardyboard templates fer cut'n n patch'n wif butts n overlaps,rattl'n spray'd wif paint. 2 amigos out for a drive.
