I swear Netflix / Discovery are sleeping on Mike Bello, the talent is unbelievable, the metal work and attention to detail is topnotch!
No way would I let them in my shop if I was Mike they would totally ruin the flow of the shop he doesn't need them
Trust me...
Not everyone wants to be on TV !
Had the chance, An passed..
25 yrs. Ago Ya, Not Today..
Netflix & Discovery is full of garbage people, they’re like a cancer. To hell with them.
Discovery ruined many relationships with thier bullshit fake drama in order to pull in viewers,, its the kiss of death,,, as for Mike ,, he dont need that shit , hes perfect the way he is, so is his shop,, an accomplished craftsman and artist , ,
Yes. Just stay on UA-cam and keep on keeping on.
Mike is a whole vibe. Nothing but positivity from him. Bad ass builder! 🤘🏾
100%
Thanks homie you know what's up. You got to stay positive to do this custom shit. Tu sabes
@@BellosKustoms Mike & T.R. True that!, in my trade, I always tell the young guys, "Don't just learn it, do it to the max."
Someone I respect and admire. Someone I hope to meet someday. God bless Mike and friends at Bello's.
I never get tired of watching Mike work, laid back cool and unlike a lot not up himself.
Massive respect from England!
Got back here to watch it man cool stories and beautiful cars
Howdy Glen!!
That's a great session. Mike Bello -great story. Carapilla sounds like a big part of Bello's. Wero, you capture it so well. Keep going guys...ready for the next video.
Stay tuned they're going to keep coming. Thanks for your support
Bro you sure do know how bring back memories.. Love your work.. I tell people about you all the time..
I tell them this, "If you really want to learn about doing body work and fabrication to watch your videos, watch listen, learn and pay attention." Brother you're an inspiration to us all.. keep the content coming homie..
Without a doubt the best car show on UA-cam
Thanks for keeping the tradition alive (I'll call it) for all to see show it was and is today. My second car was a 50' chev 2 dr. sedan. I lowered it took the chrome off the trunk, bull nosed the hood and had the interior done in tuck and roll. Paint was Empress Metallic Blue and it had Dodge Lancer Spinner hubcaps. What's sad I only have a memory of it as there's no pictures of it finished. All this happened while I was in high school. 1958-1962 when I sold it. I'm 79'now and still appreciate cars like you build. Keep up the great work. Jim
Rollin' masterpieces - a true visionary!!
;
;........... still have my 510.
Answers from the heart... We know your one of the best builders and your metal work is untouchable and very difficult to match. I see guys try to chop with square corners and I say "what the fu_k is he thinking", guess they don't know that square corners will fail over time. Mike, can someone visit your shop and get their hands dirty with you? 😎
Thanks I really love your support. Stay tuned we will have a class coming up soon
@@BellosKustoms count me in...👍😎
@@BellosKustoms when will you have your classes?
I'm local in socal.
@@BellosKustoms I'm not "into this style builds personally, but am doing a 41 metal work for a friend. Metals,metal
This vato is the real deal. Laid back and knows his shit. That's why I chose him to upgrade the suspension on my trokita.
What's a trokita? and thanks
@@mattbergseid9196 Slang for an old truck, usually early 50's Chevy.
Thanks , I've owned a lot of trokitas then
I also binged watched all the you tube videos when I discovered bellos custom me and my brother are working on our own bombs and it’s great motivation to see bellos work!! Thanks homie we need more content!!
Exactly
💯
Thanks for watching homie. I always like to hear when people do their own work. Keep the hobby going. Gracias
Same here; watched them all one weekend. Please film some more 🙏. Much respect from Texas.
That's what am going trew orita but it's just my mijo and tio y un mecanico de san quintin de Baja cali
Bad ass video like the in depth interview hope to see more vids asap
If I had a million dollars..., I remember Bello from Chicano Park. His cars flow like honey.
Perfect 36 3 window, Perfect, Iove this guy, Inspiration to keep me building my chopped 51 Chevy.
Most inspiring Channel for building cars, imo.
Absolute legend, my hat off to you!
I like your work carnal its your true art,
God Bless you brother
El Maestro Mike... Q-VO! aka The Lokote Scientist...
Most talented builder out there!
Wish I lived closer to him...
HAPPY NEW YEAR VATO!
COOOOOOL, is the only word that comes to mind. Cheers Mike
Your legacy will surely be great. It's the mostest awesomest thing to watch you work.
Do you still work on model cars? I seen a couple on the shelf in a couple of old pictures you shared.
So talented!!!!!!!! Great builds!
Man, I grew up around San Diego when I was young. Very young.... (it goes back to the 60's, when I was in elementary school)
What Mike is in touch with is "Sabor Total" he's into a life that is personally expressive and more fun than anything else.
"SABOR" does not just mean 'flavor', it is far more than that...
~and that is part of what Southern California taught me
Thanks for the new video mike. I'm deep into Bellos reruns already, thanks again...
Mike you have a gift from God and you are making peoples dreams come true with your work of art. Love your background what made you the artist metal fab genius. Understanding the cuts the weld how everything goes together and what it looks like at the end is the dream come true to your customers and inspiration to others. You are the Best of the Best! Do you sell any cars? ☝️of your fans Homer Diaz keep up the awesome work! You can tell you love what you do!
My camarada Philip send me bellos video and I got hooked firme people building rides viva la raza
You are a master of metal fabrication. I love your work 🍻
Metalero is back simon que si ponle qvo perro I was just thinking that u hadn't posted a video pero q bueno q lo isieron u guys made my day hope to see more of the ranflas for these year my boy puro lokochon saludos from LA all your cars are masterpieces congrats 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏✌️
Thanks for the interview from Northen California bay area.
There's many many small shops doing there thing. It's great to get a glimpse of what your working on.
I remember when I was going to just about every body shop in Northen California to have them sign a patision to keep the welding program's in the community collages.
Now they are all gone. It was really cool to go in all the different shops and buniess see what the builder's were working on. Some of them had team's of workers to father and son own to one man operation.
bravo Champion.All the time a pleasure watching yours videos
I prefer calling it Beyos Kustoms cuz to me it is pura belleza de carros que salen de ayí. Thank you for telling us your story on how it all began. Have a Happy New Year.
You should do a video on his 36 three window, I would love to see more of that car
Mike gives me inspiration. I have a auto repair shop with 6 techs and the stress from the 7-5 job is a little easier with Mikes videos. cant wait to get to my happy place (garage at home)
It's good to see you still have the passion for building cars and it's not just a job......
Always, always enjoy your videos Mike! Only with you weren't 2,000 miles away!
Customatizado jefe. I always laugh watching your videos gets me stoked to work on the 63 murc Van
A toda madre ese. Happy new year loco. Hope to see more ese.
Building the best Kustoms but on the same time so down to earth. Just love this channel👏👏👏
This by far my favorite UA-cam channel
It's nice to wake up everyday and do something you love to do. Then it doesn't seem like work at all.
This is a nice way to see Mike. It seems like hes a guy that found a way to do something he loved and do well for himself. I would let him chop my 38 dodge but dodges are probably beneath his level and I imagine he gets paid what hes worth and that must be a lot.
A great insight into how you got started and amazing builds. keep the great videos coming
I like your style, Brother. I'm a wood that grew up in East LA (1975 - present) and became an instant fan of all the lowriders being worked on across the street from my house! From the chrome grills, to the subtle lines of a bomb, to the skirts, to how low it was - I was infatuated from that moment on! You have an ocean of talent that keeps us wanting more. The way a vision in your head translates into these beautiful works of art and machine is truly amazing! Keep up the good work, Homie!
I consider your workmanship close to perfection
I wish I had half your talent. Great job ese!
Wouldn't be Lokochon without all the Raza in SD county. Keep it up Mike, eres un chingon. P.S. What happened to Jerry?
Much respect to u Bellos, your background has made you an outstanding fabricator and car builder , thanks sharing !! Your truly living your dream.
Mike Bello is Dope..!! Hope to meet you one day bro.... definite inspiration and legend !!
Loving cars is put into your blood from a young age by someone or something. My dad never had a hotrod but what he did have is a love for the Indy 500. That is where my car love came from. Always had it and always will.
happy new year man from the UK
Mike is one of the best his work is super clean.....and a hell of a dancer...lol
Gifted kustom legend!
Good video good guy and he just sounds real and down to earth.

This is what hot rodding is. Too bad you can’t get 510’s for 3 hundy anymore!
Straightforward, very easy going , genuine love for cars! Thanks Mike! Happy New Years!
Three of the most important things in life 1 a great ride, 2 good woman, 3 great food !
Awesome story!! Great stuff sir!!
When I get cut, I look for the super glue.. It will work wonders. But a person tries not to get hurt, but sometimes you can't help it. I enjoyed hearing your stories Ronnie.
I really appreciate this video, I'm someone that is young and still Is pursuing my Passion in fabrication, you are somebody that gives a lot of inspiration for myself and being able to hear your motivation, inspirations and things that you've gone through to get to where you are really helps feed the younger generation like myself! Thank you.
Such a bad ass.
So happy you are back ! I missed seeing the Master at work ! Please keep on making videos !
Bien fino todo...tu sabes homie. !! Kustom Life..salud😁👍
Great video! I did the same thing to my arm when a drill bit broke. I threw the rest of that cheap set out. Thanks for sharing your personal thoughts with us.
Felicidades,,, mi còmpa,,,,,, eres un ARTISTA,,,, tu, no carroceas,,, haces ARTE,,, con los muebles,,,, saludos desde DURANGO México 🇲🇽
Awesome to meet the man behind such amazing work!
too damn cool man! A huge inspiration, I've just started up my own small classic car and custom business in the UK. needed this motivation again!
Keep up with it, me and a friend of mine started a body shop in the late 80s 90s the rent got to high and the fees for the EPA environment people were coming down on all the shops and wrecking yards in Northen California. So we shut down are shop I went back to trade school became a welder and my friend still paints car's and body work for other shops.
YOUR NO# 1 CLASS ACT MIKE!!! LOVE THE VIDEOS !! KEEP GOING!! YOUR THE KING OF SLEDS!!!!!!!
Can't get enough of watching you work that metal! Benito!
Good job la isiste machin

Chingon homie 💯
Mike Bello is the real deal. So much talent and vision. You can see it in every video he putts out. A true craftsman that does it all. He may not be building the next winner of the Joker Award. But he builds car we all can appreciate and relate to. Cars we all would love to get in a drive and that what this hobby is all about. Driving and enjoying old cars. Mike has an amazing attitude and banter with his lifelong buddy. So happy I found this channel. I am ever in San Diego I am going to stop by and show my respect. Now stop fucking around and get to work!! LOL
Excelentes sus trabajos!!! Es un verdadero artesano en lo que hace!!! Felicitaciones!!!.... Lamentablemente no se inglés y no puedo saber más de sus historias!!... Saludos desde Cruz del Eje.... Córdoba ... en la República Argentina...!!!!
You do outstanding work. I was hoping to see a clip of Crunch's 35 Ford 3 window coupe in your recap. That is beautiful car. Thanks for sharing your work in this media
Mike, you are an inspiration to young people and us old guys too.Dreams,hard work and being humble made you the great artist that you are.Your cousins must have been great people to inspire you. God bless you and keep the videos coming!
You're a good man keep up the good work you are real
Bellos videos are 100% real much respect for Mike. Keep it up👍
Tas Pesado!... your bringing these old rides back to life! Some crazy work homie.
Fire 🔥 interview
So awesome. Always smiling, enjoying the builds.
Yep
To be humble you need to find humbleness... Mike definitely found it, that's for sure
Dale vato! You got the right mind set, roots, along with your art, and creativeness that makes all the ranflas that come out of your shop All Lokochon!! Keep it up!!
