Came out beautiful. I love how you don't purchase new parts and you use what is available when possible. That is in the spirit of original old school "hot rod" building. As someone who has been doing it for 50 plus years you have my respect and appreciation for your channel. Another point, you're one of the few who get into the silly nonsense, I really appreciate that. Videos for grown people.
We couldn't google slaves in China for custom parts. We did what we did because we had no option, unless you were rich. "Strong men create good times, Good times create weak men, Weak men create hard times."
Hey Brent, I've TIG welded miles of stainless and mild steel pipe, sheet, and plate, I've got a trick for you for when you're butting two sheets as you did on the floor tunnel: Clamp a flat aluminum backer bar tightly and directly behind the area you're seaming together, it will do a couple things. It keeps atmosphere away from the back side of your weld reducing oxidation, and it sucks the heat out of the finished weld to reduce hardening of the adjacent metal due to expansion/contraction induced stress. It will make any further planishing easier because the area won't harden as much. This also works well on corner seams by using pieces of aluminum angle. The steel won't stick to the aluminum. I keep a metal box of small bits of aluminum bar and shapes handy to use for this. Love your work, best regards.
What I like about you is you do 9 minutes of talking in 30 minutes of working most people do 30 minutes of explaining 7 minutes of setting up and 2 minutes of working hats off to your brother keep up the good work
Master cylinder pushrods give me the shakes. My first car --a 66 Mustang with the fruit jar master cylinder had a bushing and a cotter pin. My buddy who helped build the car put the master in. On day, I went to pick up tuxedo's for a friends wedding. I was coming down a hill and the pedal dropped to the floor (he forgot to pin the pushrod)! The light had turned red, I cut the wheel as hard as possible, caught the curb and blew the tire. I then shot up on to the opposite sidewalk and was trying to slow down when an old lady started coming out of a store. A yelled at the top of my lungs: Look out! She dove back in the store and I wedged my Mustang between a hydrant and store front window. When the police officer arrived he just stood back and said: "Kid, that's the best piece of driving I've ever seen!" A $25.00 defective brake ticket, bent control arm, a new tire and a wrinkled fender was a small price to pay! Since then I'm the one who puts the master cylinder in!
That's why you always make sure the emergency brake works. had front drum on my 67 dodge pickup bust when hit brake pedal at red light and cars were coming onto the four lane I hit the ditch cleaned it out and finally drove it up on bank to keep from hitting any of the cars. after I shaked the load out of my paints took vicegrips clamped brake line closed filled master back up drove it home so since then everything gets emergency brake .
Really loving this build Brent. Great job as usual. Over 90.000 subscribers Holy moly. Short amount of time. Says a Lot about your builds. Keep it up. I'll stick with ya.
I was hoping Pablo was there keeping you company! I would have loved to live by you as a youngster, it would have been quite a learning experience. Need to keep kids of today being mentored by you! Wow , another great video, it's really looking good! Brent ,well done, can't wait to see the next video ! Thanks for the video, jim
That tunnel looks fantastic so professional. Like you planned it out for days. I love your reaction when things don't work out. Makes me laugh because you don't take it so serious , you have a great sense of humor.
Hey Brent, the build is going great. I had to scratch my head a little when I saw you lay out the steering column bracket, mmmm,🤔 shouldn't that be an ellipse. lol. Love your program keep up the great work. Wishing you the best 👌 👍
Hi Brent . I was laughing so much when you were putting in the steering column bracket . My Wife asked why are you so happy . I called I’m watching Brent 😂👍🇨🇦
Its looking great so far. I just hope when the box goes onto the frame it doesn't make the frame look bent. I hope it lines up with the cab really nice. And then it would look like a sweet old little custom hot rod truck. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family Brent. You're an amazing fabricator and a great teacher. 👍👍💯🙏🙏💪🏼🔥
Damn I love watching and learning from you Brent. Wish I had your knowledge for building something out of nothing. Thank you for no bullshit approach to videoing hot rod building. Between you, Fitzee, Dan at DD Speed, and Karl Fisher, I’ve learned a lot and getting more confidence in my ‘40 Chevy build. Keep up the good work, please and I’ll try to remember to like everything I see. Cheers from Red Deer
This is really turning out to be a amazing little truck, and this channel is pretty much my favorite hot rod/ fab channel please keep up the great work!! As far as the truck being rough I'm thinking it has a cool custom look with a really great fabbed interior, and that is where you will be spending most of your time when the truck is done.
Your just amazing what your able to do. Most of us, this would take years. Where your able to do these fabrication’s in hours and days. What a guy! Always enjoy your videos of your work. Plus you don’t mind even sometimes laughing at yourself.
The first guy I've seen on UA-cam use a "Red" set of Wiss tin snips properly and using a step bit to ream a hole in a pice of cardboard, good job on the fire wall and floor hump Brent, its going to be a nice rod.👍👍
I've heard it said, if you can find a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. You've got the talent with the drive, and of course the garage to do multiple things 👍 Thanks for sharing another awesome build🔟😁
Man I love this channel. For most of the world when you want a new custom hot rod, you either look on the internet, go to car shows to see what is for sale, look in your local classifieds, or maybe you get lucky & hear about something for sale from a buddy. But NOT Brent, he thinks about those things briefly and decides, Nope, Nope, Nope, & Nope, I have a better idea, I will just make my Own car! Fantastic Brent, you are the best. 👍🏻
Exciting exciting, screwing screwing, welding welding. Tunnel's n firewall's n peddles n column's going in oh my, dat military wheel needs a new bolt pattern at its heart, da wizard mechanic's got da courage n brains ta resurrect da bed, filthy rough truck needs a set a seats for da man n Pablo too!
Nice work on the floor, firewall and pedals. Made everything fit in a relatively small space. Look forward to seeing the box come together. Be safe and stay wel.
Love it when a plan comes together, Thought those pedals looked great after a really ugly first impression, But Had faith in your judgement A++++++ every time.
You obviously have been doing this for a long, long time. You have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and it shows in every part of this build. Your videos are a great mixture of self deprecating humour and incredible vision and skill. Very much looking forward to the next one.
Yes I follow your fantastic constructions from SwedenYou build so that it looks so easy, but I know how difficult it can be sometimes (a lot of thinking). Follows all your sections.
With the wheel, could you re-drill the bolt pattern you need between the existing bolt holes then weld up the original holes? Love the build by the way. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great work Brent you always have a good laugh when things don't go quite right first time, its really taking shape and will you be doing a chop on the cab, keep up the good work.
Now them is some sharp-ass scissors @9m18s. Maybe Santa will bring you a nice Riv-nut setup for those tranny tunnels? Congratulations on the 90k. Cheers and Happy Holidays!
Hey Brent ,I get a kick how you laugh it off when it doesn't workout , you just go back at it and do again man,great video it's all coming together nicely man ,take care .
Awesome as usual Brent! Glad you have your trusty helper Pablo there to give you constant feedback...says you're doing great dad 😁! Looking for his next ride!
Brent howdy, I was trying to get your attention when you were programming the cutter to remind you to make the hole elliptical. But it just wouldn’t go through the internet.😆 So thanks for sharing another great video with us, build is looking “mint”👍😎
It looks like you could cut the offset off those pedals arms and then weld the pedal pad straight. That would give you probably 2 in of 3 in more for your gas pedal but that's just what looked like to me. Awesome job. and I love it when you laugh at yourself. That's the best part. 👍
Its coming along very well Brent, you know how you want it to be and you know how to achieve it. Its useful to be able to mentally picture it then adapt suitable pieces from the "scrap" that you have accumulated outside in the yard. There is minimal waste or purchase of new parts. Old school hot rodding right there. Best regards.
Find a bolt pattern axle that fits your wheel, make sure it doesn't have any wobble and then mount the wheel on. Once you're happy with where it is, bring a plasma torch, and something to make sure it doesn't move from where you set it, place it where you wanna do the cut, start it, and give the rim a spin. Repeat with donor wheel. IF i were you, i'd cut it where the metal starts bowing inside to where the stud flat is. That way, when you go to weld it, you can add another plate inside from the back, which can stiffen up the weld, and remove stress cracks down the road. Regardless, yeah, rear wheels only. Welded wheels work, until they don't and when they don't, you're just there for the ride. :)
You are Mr. Get'er Done. Mess up, just Do it over, no problem. Tilt is great. Damn Truck is taking shape, Gonna be a fun ride. Looking for the damn Drone Shot. Take Care, Dennis
I love watching your videos and seeing the progress that you make and the attitude that you have while building these hot rods only complaint that I have is you don't finish him off for paint I like I should say my taste is a finished product not a rat rod rat rods are good but I love to see the paint job and all the Chrome good job mate keep up the good work
Some get paint but I don't really like to put to much effort in paint if I do as I feel I don't take good care of a painted car, so guess that's why I go for the rougher look always. Chrome out here to get done would cost more than the car build so that's never been an option for me haha

@@timatwell3728 Tim: The last thing a 21 yr old wants to do is fix the e brake but you are absolutely right!
The first thing I did on my first car was to mount a Grant's steering wheel. That's over 40 years ago. Time flies...
Really loving this build Brent. Great job as usual. Over 90.000 subscribers Holy moly. Short amount of time. Says a Lot about your builds. Keep it up. I'll stick with ya.
Thanks John!
"maybe we'll work on that a little bit more" that was pretty funny! It's really coming together.
Really coming along beautifully. That floor, tunnel and firewall work looks really sharp.
I like watching your creation come to life,
I like when your notification pops up,, on my phone,,
I love the magic fingers describing how the support plate will work. Great channel with humor and instruction.
I was hoping Pablo was there keeping you company! I would have loved to live by you as a youngster, it would have been quite a learning experience. Need to keep kids of today being mentored by you!

I had to laugh when you were fighting with the steering wheel and the music was kind of keystone cops music, LOL. Good work!
Watching you gives me the confidence to tackle the small tasks I keep putting off. Thanks!
Hi Brent . I was laughing so much when you were putting in the steering column bracket . My Wife asked why are you so happy . I called I’m watching Brent 😂👍🇨🇦
Really coming together, I love it.
Truly something special.
Its looking great so far. I just hope when the box goes onto the frame it doesn't make the frame look bent. I hope it lines up with the cab really nice.

After this renovation and improvement, the vehicle will last over 100 years!
Links & Levers , , fabulous fabrication , you never disappoint the audience. Music is great. Thank you for sharing . Cheers
Clutch and brake petals turned out great. Now to work your magic on the gas petal.
WOW Brent it all looks wonderful! Love watching a master at work!

As far as the truck being rough I'm thinking it has a cool custom look with a really great fabbed interior, and that is where you will be spending most of your time when the truck is done.
Working on a 1937 Ford Coupe, has no brake pedal or gas pedal, also putting in a new firewall. Your video is very helpful. Thx....
Nice job , you make it seem so easy. Many years of experience shows in your workmanship.
Your just amazing what your able to do. Most of us, this would take years. Where your able to do these fabrication’s in hours and days. What a guy! Always enjoy your videos of your work. Plus you don’t mind even sometimes laughing at yourself.
You can learn something new from each episode. Thank you.
The first guy I've seen on UA-cam use a "Red" set of Wiss tin snips properly and using a step bit to ream a hole in a pice of cardboard, good job on the fire wall and floor hump Brent, its going to be a nice rod.👍👍
haha I hate the red snips but there the sharpest pair I own :)
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that forgets to oblong cut the plate for steering column
As stated before, your knocking this build out of the park! Other builds are great as well, the General, etc, rock on!🤠👍! Ronnie, East Tennessee, USA

She's really coming along. Thanks for the great video Brent. 🐾
Love that your best friend is always waiting you great videos!
Brent you have mastered fabrication to quite an art .I am very impressed with your work and capability. Thanks for sharing with us.
I can't wait for the chop top part Brent!! It's been a while since your last one!! 😎
Yeah, I noticed that.....waaay too much "headroom".
Beautiful work by the Canadian wizard welder! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
That’s a work of art that you like to fabricate from your mind it’s going to be also peace when you’re done
AH HA!!! I caught you, you are going to paint this one. :)
We laughed with you on that piece.
Hey trial & error are the story of my life. And you're doing a good job, love watching you work, can't wait until your Rat Rod is done. ✌🤩❤😇🥂
Nice work on the floor, firewall and pedals. Made everything fit in a relatively small space. Look forward to seeing the box come together. Be safe and stay wel.

halfassed it ain't
👍👍
Hi Brent! I like this project more and more, and then the Grant steering wheel is the icing on the cake! 👍🎂
Yes I follow your fantastic constructions from SwedenYou build so that it looks so easy, but I know how difficult it can be sometimes (a lot of thinking). Follows all your sections.
Great job Brent
With the wheel, could you re-drill the bolt pattern you need between the existing bolt holes then weld up the original holes? Love the build by the way. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The air compressor started running while you were sitting in the truck that's a funny sounding hot rod.
Can’t wait to see the dash all done gauges and paint and all your little options lol
The 37 is turning out real cool.
Great work Brent you always have a good laugh when things don't go quite right first time, its really taking shape and will you be doing a chop on the cab, keep up the good work.
Fabtastic! Metal master,enjoying the build 🤩🔥💪
I really admire your creativity
simply amazing work. I could watch for hours and not be bored. Thanks Brent.
Now them is some sharp-ass scissors @9m18s. Maybe Santa will bring you a nice Riv-nut setup for those tranny tunnels? Congratulations on the 90k. Cheers and Happy Holidays!
Man that’s one sharp looking rig. Enjoying watching !
It's coming along nicely. The floor looks terrific. 👍
Skookam. Interesting build.
Iove videos, specially they way you work with passion and describe every step before excercise.
You sure make it look easy Brent, looking great!
Hey Brent ,I get a kick how you laugh it off when it doesn't workout , you just go back at it and do again man,great video it's all coming together nicely man ,take care .
MISTER FABRICATION does it again. Awesome.
Awesome as usual Brent! Glad you have your trusty helper Pablo there to give you constant feedback...says you're doing great dad 😁! Looking for his next ride!
Great work again, this thing is going to look cool when it hits the road. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I’m lov’n this little truck ! I’m amazed at how you just make things work .
Wow 😳 the firewall came out great! Keep up the good work 👍
It's really taking shape now Brent.
Brent howdy, I was trying to get your attention when you were programming the cutter to remind you to make the hole elliptical. But it just wouldn’t go through the internet.😆 So thanks for sharing another great video with us, build is looking “mint”👍😎
haha I usually know better
Its coming along nicely. Cant wait to hear it fire up..Looking Good..
Great Job! I look forward to seeing the next video! Keep on Trucking!
It looks like you could cut the offset off those pedals arms and then weld the pedal pad straight. That would give you probably 2 in of 3 in more for your gas pedal but that's just what looked like to me.
Awesome job.
and I love it when you laugh at yourself. That's the best part. 👍
Again, another artistry work.
Yes exactly,, what use what's available and very creative and artistic!
Should be fun to watch the box come together

Wow things are really coming together great work 👍
Pedals and steering wheel came out great...super job.
Keep on it mate am really enjoying it
Thanks for your time n efforts, God bless yall real good.
Just ripping thru the build & its looking good. 😎👍🇨🇦
What a show,the best of them all
You make it look sooooo easy!!! Wish I had ur talent Brent :)
Great progress! You had me laughing with the subtitles and music when you were changing the steering wheel!
Yay! A new episode on a Tuesday for Carona and I!
