I love that, "Chip Foose style". You can learn more about car building in any one of Mike's videos than you can learn in a whole series of Chip Foose TV shows!
And more in a minute than a series of bad Chad 🤣🤣🤣
@@alanhicks3361 it's not Chad's fault, he doesn't know about the Locochon!!!
Mike and Karl from Make it Custom have more talent in their little finger nails than "oh so bad chad" he's a hacker and bondo expert. @@alanhicks3361
Is chad still making movies ?
@@joebethune5330 Well, UA-cam videos. I watched faithfully, but he doesn't finish stuff, and does weird mods, so I've kinda given up.
Details are in his work and his attitude is the best sense of humor don't miss one episode.
I never miss a fucking episode...
Mike is such a wizard! It just goes to show the clients faith in Mike's work. Imagine letting someone chop up your brand new build!
Props to your cameraman. He always does a fabulous job. Editing and the final result are top-notch. His work showcases your work in the best way possible. He knows right what details to show in the video and I imagine you have some input on that. Keep up the good work you guys and I always look forward to Sundays video.
Great job as usual. The customer brought it to the right place.
Great channel mike,your the man when it comes to what's right and what's wrong. Keep that great content coming and keep showing us the correct way to customize your ride.God bless.
If we were only allowed one car kustomizing show then this would be it. Cheers everyone and Happy New Year
So great watching and learning from a grand master , a word of wisdom to all ,
Watch listen and learn from the Wizard ,❤
That look, that sh_t eating grin after you blasted through the bondo ... Priceless
Carapilla!! …Yo 😝. I love this shit. Happy New Year Mike, Carapilla and Big Steve!
Apart from Mike's professional work, very, very good, video work!! Greetings from Austria/Europe
Start off by Wishing Magic Mike, Carapilla & Big Steve a Healthy New Year 24 & I extend that wish to all those who like me have subscribed to this Brilliant Channel by the way who’s the new Locochon? 🛠️
Top rooster well done happy new year to you too champ
Hey…another challenge accepted and touched by Bello’s. Can’t wait to see the finish. Big Steve, adding the tidbit preview at the end is 👌🏻. As Mike says, “I love it…”
P.S. Carapilla laughing when Mike took the saw away from him 😂
Love it- cars from the 40s in a shop that looks like it's from the 50s and then there's a flat-screen CAD station. If it works, it works!
Another master class from Mike. Happy 2024 to the Bello's Kustoms Crew! 💯👍✨😎
El barrio.
Chop Chop loco choncha.
We don't do it twice cuz we done it right the first time.
Vato locos ride smooth and quick 🤙🏾🤘🏾🤟🏽🖖🏽🤚🏽👍🏽😎😎
🌮🌮🌯🌯🍤🍪🍻.🙋🏽♂️
Damn you aren't afraid to tackle anything!!!!!!
A new Bello’s t shirt should read, Put the tools down, homie!
And let the pros do it
Makes me 😂laugh every time he says that! Always wonder what the other builder feels like when he says that 😂
Should send it to you know who in Nova Scotia.
Mike, great to see you using your “ figure it out” creativity at its best! Steve, as always a brilliant and well thought out episode with your work. Looking forward to seeing the final product guys.
Thank you Sir
Big Steve
Sunday is Bello’s time wait all week to see what the master is going to build
I like the way you explain 👍
Well somebody almost loved this car
But that's OK Mike will adopt it and love it like it should be loved
That was certainly a "different" way to build a front end. The system you use is much better engineered. Thanks Mike.
Mike, love that you’re putting the Bello touch on that car. It’s nice but getting better with Bello!
It's good to see you wearing ear protection
Love watching the artist working his magic Mike is absolutely the best
Giving that car the “Midas Touch”!👍
The problem with the front end was not air bags on a straight axle. Most of it actually looked good. It was no track/panhard bar. On the stock cross leaf there are a stack of leafs and the car hangs on little short shackles relying on gravity to keep it centered on the old roads at old speeds it made for a soft ride but not stable at modern higher speeds. In 46 till ford went independent they added more drop a track bar and sway bar also the spring was wrapped in a cover with a grease fitting to make it smoother. it worked well.
So long story short they just left one leaf did not add a track bar and for some reason mounted the shocks to the shackles. yes it was probably terrible handling. All he had to do was remove the the spring mount the lower shock mounts to the axle and add a track bar. Everybody thinks the mustang 2 fronts are great but they are actually based on a pinto front and are a little light for a full sized car and have really short control arms. but do ride better than a straight axle at stock height if there set up correctly..
The straight axle has advantages in an air bag application there is no camber change or toe change at slammed or raised up. also on a lowered car the suspension travel is very limited so would the independent ride better probably not they will both ride stiff lowered. His top chopping and custom work is really amazing
This video could have been great lesson in different suspensions
Cant wait for the rest of this series. Im fixing my 35 Mustang II front end. The original owner didn't align it right, 1/8" out on 1 side. I've got to fix that and set up the air bags. Can't wait to see this ride. Thanks Mike, for sharing your skills.
Great work, as always 👏 👊
They probably needed a panard rod on that old setup but the new setup will be much better 👍
Happy 2024 to you Mike and Caterpillar hope you have a great one .Dave from Scotland.
Pure Genius status Mike. No more twekle rides.
Mike is an OG Badass!
Another solid video Mike, Big Steve & Carapilla, loving those vertical down & overhead runs Mike👍👍 Keep the content coming, great to watch!
Looks like it was built 30 years ago and rarely driven . It's the way things were done before the Mustang II stuff became available . Clean and a nice build in any case . Now it will be better , lots better .
It wasn’t a driver seeing how clean it is. ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
West Coast vs Tennessee vibe. Love it.
Beautiful Car Very Nice work Mike Your getting it
Friends of ours have a 34 Plymouth coupe that runs 220mph at Bonneville when he first brought it it was 10mm out in the front end glad we caught that or it would have been an interesting week for us lol
Maestro, you make it look easy!!
Bravo!!
Wow the car looks like a really nice build..but the front end screams death trap for sure haha. Clean look but no function. Glad its getting upgraded Locochone style.
Nice video. Excellent work thanks for sharing😅
The bondo on the frame was crazy, never seen that before.
They Do it to try to have a Best in Show car award for fit and finish. Totally a Show car thing....for Trailer Queens...
As Mike said, ''that's American Hotrod building style''..
I saw that car on Ebay, that was on there- expensive! It's in good hands with you Locochon!
We should call you the Tin Wizard Mike....very cool Kustom work bro
I like Mike as he is like me a underdog, just he is a champ...
that car is a dreamboat.
damn
Awesome Mike makes it look easy great skills 👌
You said it. Wasn't meant to dive. Love it a Bellos - real deal workshop 😎🤙🌺
Your right, leave it to the professionals
Awesome ! Again hehehe , I totally agree with you about the single leaf / Wish bone front end . Should have never been put on a car that heavy either.... I can see someone having a vision of a show car ... But it has to make sense too...
Top work as usual
Great job Mike, Love your work, got to get me a sled!!
Mike and carrapilla. Doing an strong job guys. Can’t wait for the next video homie. Happy new year
Lokochon style Big Homie....
😎✌👍
Master at his/ this craft. We need to keep this work alive for future generations..
Great work carnal big ups!
Always a pleasure to watch!
No music? Only the music of air tools and the welder. Mike making good yet again. Looks a beautiful car but looks can be deceiving. I think there’s been a few videos like this just lately. Looking forwards to part two.
Hey Mike is your back giving you some discomfort? Take care or it will be with you the rest of your life. I no only to well.
Love this channel 100%
WATCHING BELLO'S KUSTOMS, BETTER THAN SEEING THAT FAKE -ASS! PUNK IN NOVIA SCOTIA! DAILY! THIS MAN IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL, HIS WORK SPEAK FOR IT SELF! TRUE CUSTOMERS WITH BAD ASS BOMBITAS! KEEP UP THE CHINGON VIDEOS. ADIOS....
He shouldn't even be mentioned anywhere near this channel
@@james-ew7kl WATCHING THAT CLOWN, SHOWS PEOPLE THAT HE'S IN IT ONLY FOR THE MONEY! ALL THOSE SUBCRIBER BELIEVING HIS CRAP! I WISH I WAS A STONER! ALL THAT SHIT HE DOES TO THEM POOR CARS, CRACKS ME UP! FAKE! HE CAN'T EVEN READ A TAPE MEASURE!
Knowing now it is a peace of mind that I know from my car getting it done right from the bottom even though it more money at the end of the day when it is done is when it matters drive right and look good como Lokochon style ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
A lesson, hommes do it right the first time when you build your ride! Learn from Mike!
No bondo on the frame, it hides the cracks!
How much bondo is covering the chop top work?
Very nice Marc, but what’s the rear suspension like? And what about how the brakes are attached!?
See you next week, Mike!
According to my calculations its Sunday Funday and what better to start than with the newest bellos drop!
Keep up the good work Mike hope to see you at MoonEyes homeslice!
Looks Great.
Happy New Years 2024 🌏

Great video, so much to learn from ever show.thanks guys!
Quit putting "Gameboy"ads when i'm trying to watch my man straighten out thiscool ride.
Mustang two cross member looks like you almost know what your doing
I really like the time stamps on the video, to put the work flow into perspective.
I think that car was built by Jason Graham hot rods in Tennessee
SIMPLY THE BEST. BETTER THAN ALL THE REST. IN A TINA TURNER LOCHOCHON STYLE
mike muchas felicidades a ti y toda la familia igual mente a todos tus companeros , Si tu no lo podias arreglar nadie lo podia arreglar tu eres un titan suelte tremendo te felicito .
Its called "short cuts"..you saved another one mike.
Just because it’s a finished and so called show car doesn’t always mean it was done right. Now that the issues are corrected this car will be drivable and look good. Once again “ put the tools down if you don’t know “ 😂👏
They call me mello yellow
Some of us need the CC's please. We made too much noise when we were younger, and now we can't hear shit.
I know your pain.
Very happy new year 2024 to you thank you for all these videos Fabien from France
You do chingon job lokochon 👍🏆
You need a pitman arm and tie rod removal kit for cars like this ,saves knocking paint off
Hope you had a good holidays! Looking forward to more videos from Bello's Kustoms..
It'll definitely be right after it gets the Bello's touch
Wow. Simply wow.😅
This guy is a GENIUS😂😂
Jay leno was talking about choppers and said the same , they aren't built to ride . You must combine function with looks
"Amerikan hot rod style"............HAHAHAAAAAAAA........i'm dyin'!
I cant wait for the next vid (-:
Ey, cut carapilla some some slack perrillo, always cracking the whip on him😆 Love your channel, Mike. Just copped a couple of t-shirts from your store to show support. Best show on UA-cam Big dog.
Mike With all the brackets you make have you tried a mag clamp to hold them in place while you clean them up Just a thought ! You do some amazing work. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge, makes me want to do a Chop Top i just don't know what I'm doing!! Peace
El Duro!!!! Puñeta 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
amazing work
They call me the cara-pilla, and once upon a set of wheels, i was gone, what's my number, i wonder how your engines feel.....do do do do!
B A C K Y A R D B O O G I E
Nice work as always
😎💯✌LooKs GooD Mike ThanK YoU...!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy New Year😘👍🤘🤙🤙
It's stupid when shops spend hundreds of hours doing metal work and chassis fab just to go over it all with gallons of bondo
All that work to add bags that sit poorly while driving. Should have used the air struts that were already in that original suspension with the new and ditched those air bag spacers. Since I am not there to know what the customer wanted as far as ride, but you can get that beam axle to handle properly going down the road at speed as well. It just takes knowing how to set it up for alignment through out the travel requirements of the vehicle. No different than setting up the double A arm suspension.
Art ❤ Pro Touring, too
Any info on the manufacture of the crossmember, great work 👍🏼
Putting IFS and rack/pinion on the car is the only way to make it a true driver. That shadetree setup was an accident waiting to happen. No time to cheap out on a nice ride, eh Mike?
