You can really tell Pablo LOVE'S that Jeep!!!!
You’ve taught me that my glass is always half full. Never half empty.
And there's Pablo, riding in the Jeep. I can't decide if Pablo is thinking "I'm King of the world" or "Faster Dad, Faster"!
Pablo's a happy boy in that old jeep🐾
Hope you can soon find another 53 windshield ....Pablo in the jeep with the windshield down, that's one happy dog!
That last Pablo clip was fantastic!
You're a hard working man Brent!
My stomach sank every time you thought of a part and then said it was gone from the fire. Having the horde really helped move things along.
Your sense of humor abour your SITUATION, is aomething ALL OF US , should emulate! GOD BLESS YOU, for such an EXAMPLE !!!
I give you a lot of credit for being able to smile and laugh after that devastating fire. You're amazing, Brent! We agree on the blue paint. I always liked it.
Wow Brent I am sure glad to see a smile on your face. You never know just how much stuff you lost until you start looking for it right? In hopes that things just get bigger and bigger and bigger for you and Esther. Half-ass Kustoms forever baby!
I fully support this channel ❤
love your dog .if i fix old car my dog thinks its hers.good to see yuor geting your feet back under you keep on keeping on i never miss episod
I hope the English wheel can be saved. If anyone can rebuild it, it's you. The shop fire as terrible as it was, seems to have put you on a mission. You've got the small shop looking great. The '54 will be one cool build bro.
Go look at your old videos and you’ll be able to see what you have done.😀😀😀
Sir I hate that every time you think of all of your cool stuff it ends up that it left in the accident I know that must be torture over and over again for you sorry for you Brent
I'm so confused.. lol
Lol Pablo loves the wind 😂
Thanks for hanging in there and sharing 👍😀
Thank you for another great video Brent 🐾🍺
I like work, i can watch it for hours !
Brent your attitude and your sense of moving on is outstanding after the devastating loss. Power to you feller and all the best. 👍👍
I'm all in on this one.
We do love us some Pablo Cruise !!!
Hi Brent Glad to see you making progress.
Pablo says just a little Faster dad please.
It's good to see my Bel-Air again...lol I like the 59 truck as well. great video Brent
The fan is fine sir!
Can hear you no problem!
Talk about "keep calm and carry on!" you are amazingly pragmatic, its great to see you doing what you do best.
I feel so lucky to be in your orbit and in some small way help you recover, you are a great Builder that has so much to share. Please stay at it and we will be watching. God Bless You ALL! D
36 mins is never enough Brent..enjoy your channel SOOooooooooo Much.Thanks Bud
I love the way you laugh stuff off cause it's the best medicine 😊😂
Its good to see you back in the shop with that big old smile on ya face Brent .
ADD WINDSHIELD to the list.neat project.
Its great to see you back at it again, I really like the 54 body lines and look forward to watching this project progress. Keep up the good work!👍
The fan doesn't make noise unless you are right next to it.
Looking forward to this build
Crackin big grey pickup at the 29.07 mk 🏴👍
Onward and upward,never loose that sense of humor,God bless.
I like hearing your thought process. Very impressed how you got right in there setting up a temporary shop and getting back to work. You have my respect. Can't wait to see you start on new shop. God bless.
Cruising with Pabs is the way to go.👍😄Nice to see you smiling. Thank you.👍🇬🇧
Like 457. The 54 is going to be a challenge, but good project!
Keep your head up it will all work itself out in the end the parts will come
Yay, Monday video, hope your all doing well. 🎉 we need tire changer videos
I understand what happened sucked but the fact you're not quiting is impressive and you got my respect for whatever that's worth
Man Pablo shure enjoys his rides. I almost forgot about that old Jeep. Its great to see you smiling and laughing again
Brent. Only up from here.
I had forgot about the 54 Bel air and what had been done . So i looked back on my play list for it and see i need to go back and watch all of them again to get me up to date .
Slowly but surely raising up out of the ashes! Keep moving forward. Always look forward to your videos
HalPhoenix kustoms 😉👍
I'm glad to see you back in action. We as men are not happy being idle. If we ain't movin' we ain't groovin'.
as a resto mod i would paint it blue, the same light blue. If it will be the first new build the make that puppy shine
Brent WATCHING YOU WORK DOING YOUR THING MAKES ME FEEL BETTER! MY HIP AND SHOULDER HAVE BEEN GIVING ME FITS FOR ABOUT A YEAR. I USED TO BE A PAINT AND BODYMAN FOR 25 years ain't much I haven't done.
Keep up the fun. Love your channel give Pablo an Buddy a scratch from me!! Love them too!
Great Monday double header, Brent and Mortske. Love your channels and your puppers.
Dang right Brent, always good to have them brakes working before their running. Like my grandpa used to tell me “ only thing worse than a car that won’t start is one that won’t stop!” 🤣🤣🤣
As you go forward you’re going to realize all the things you can’t do. Just mentioning the lathe and driveshaft is a biggie. But, you’ll get all your capability back eventually. Right now you can do more than lots of shops!
This oughta be fun to watch. I had a 53 210 chevy 4 door that was just a driver for me. Robin egg blue, 6 cyl. tree on the tree. It ran well and was fun to drive. Finally someone talked me out of it, I realized I'd never do anything to it.
Pablo enjoying his ride always brings a smile to my face.
Ay 79 y/o i remember my 54 chev. Same body as yours. Each year in the 50s we used to wait for new year of cars to see many changes. (I.e. caddy gas caps under tsilight). Auto dimmers, chrome bumpers. The car companys would only keep sheet metal for a year or three, then in 55....metal changer almost every year. Those were the days. I'd like to have my 47 Merc wagon back!
Beautiful truck 👍👍👍👍
O man,that is a bummer!!! having a windshield for it, and it getting burnt in the fire. That's a bummer all right!.. I don't know what it is about those early fifty Chevys but I sure do like them a whole lot. It's gonna be a nice sleeper, btw don't worry about the rambling, It helps us understand the extensive work that this kind of job actually requires.
I'm so looking forward to see you finish this Car, your gonna feel pretty dern good when she's all wrapped up!
54. And. 59. Real. Classics. Thanks
Brent, don't feel obligated to create car content in this present situation , creating , repairing tools or equipment is part of the process of building cars too, and it's a very interesting enjoyable content to watch ...👍🍺
So happy to see you working on cars again. Know it will take time to recover from the fire, but you look happier today. You and Pablo cruising made my day. Be safe. Till next time..
Glad to see you are keeping busy. Got several cars you are working on to keep you busy and the videos coming. Will watch them all. Pablo loves the jeep ride !!!
Going for a cruise with your best friend.👍 You will have to get Pablo some goggles 😆😆 I have a set of the round goggles for the acetylene torch. Those would look good on him.😄
Hi Brent
The jaguar shock upper mount dose get bolted to the body, but it is mounted to a rubber bushing then the bushing is bolted to the body.
Plus the calipers look to be 4 pot piston brake calipers.
Thanks for the "list" instruction and pep talk! My '68 Barracuda has been in the garage 3+ years, and all momentum has been lost. The task seems too daunting to even continue. Then I see the amazing progress you've made since your devastating fire. You are an inspiration! Thanks.
Brent, thanks so much for thinking out loud. I learn so much when you do that. It is comforting seeing Pablo and Buddy breezing by. I realize that I've internalized your loss. Probably we all have done that so "normality" is comforting. Rambling is necessary and it makes sense to me. A lot of sense! Hang in there. We're with you.
That stroll through the country at the end there, that's just bada$$
Smell the roses, yep
It's great to watch your content Brent. It's great to see that you are getting back to being your humble self again. Take care.
I know people have a passion for the tri 5s but that 54 is really my favorite, that's gonna be a sweet project and I can't wait for the next one
at 31:34 when you left on JLG and pulled back up on a 4 wheeler from oppisite direction,...... melted my brain hahahaha much love to you and your family
Nice straight bumpers, too.
Glad to see you moving forward again.
As for the brake line, purchase hard line with the correct Jag fitting. Cut hard line to suit and double flair that end to match car. Don't forget fitting before flaring. LOL.
You know how much I enjoy seeing Pablo in his "Happy Place!" , Brent! Thanks for sharing!
Bro Harry
Great stuff Mr. Brent!!!! I thank you for sharing your journey as you rebuild !!! The Holy Bible says in one place " Without a vision the people perish" !!! I think I can say you have a vision!!!! As you were speaking about your list in rebuilding your next project, I thought to myself, that is probably what you are doing in rebuilding your shop and tools!! Stay safe my friend and God bless you all!!!!! Eddy
Sweet ‘54 Chevy !
At the end. . Pablo. In the wind.
.. looks so Cool. Happy...
Awesome as Always... Another quality vid.Pleasure to watch
I believe Pablo is a window down jeep dog. I love Pablo!
Glad you're back i'm still waiting for the 35 Dodge Coupe that you struggled to restore 👍
Your rambling will help some people do as you say you do to get things done .So don't worry about it. 😊😊
I love your attitude! After the fire I would have been inconsolable. My grandparents survived a flood with a positive attitude like yours, but I apparently didn't inherit that trait.
Moving ahead, nice going Brent
Morning Brent, I can only imagine how tough it is to move forward, but whether we realize it or not, life is full of trials & tribulation...you & your family will get thru this! Be safe, God Bless!
It's good to see you back working on vehicles again.
Well Brent I must say, it sure looked like Pablo was enjoying his ride in the Jeep today. Looks like now you have 3 or 4 projects going on there at the shop. Man I am so thankful for you that you did not loose the front-end loader in the fire, that thing is a work horse. Take care my friend.
That car is in remarkably good condition!!
Thx Brent, always enjoy watching your videos ! Positif attitude 🙏 That's the way to think. Greetings from Switzerland
I'm glad you're smiling doing your thing .👍
Thanks for talking through the thought process. Helps with confidence on a pickup I'm fixing up
Excellent video Brent :) , got lots great ideas to keep you busy in vechiles to and hopefully English Wheel be up running soon too ! Pablo The Supervisor Dog 🐕 doing great job too !
When I clean engines I use oven cleaner spray n hose off ,it workes better than pressure wash ,thanks for sharing, God bless yall real good.
That 54 Chevy has the Gangster Stance going on.! Glad to see you getting back into your game!
I just love that car would love if we had cars like that here in Ireland.
Cool 54, reminds me of the 49 I once had
Great to see you back doing the great work Brent, The Brotherhood of the Grease Nipple salute you...
Good to see the 54 Back on the list for Work Brent
happy to see you wrenching again Brent, and don't be shy or worry, we'll be watching it all, working on the cars, rebuilding the tools, cleaning and rebuilding the old shop, etc, anything you do makes it a great content to follow and be a part of it , and by the time you know everything will come in to place ...👍🍺
Great to see you with a project on the lift again Brent!
my dad always said, doesn't matter where you start, matters that you start..... love how you explain it. definitely not rambling.......great info.
Minty !
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Later ...
Every time I see that little pickup of yours I just wish someone had something similar for sale. Love the early fenders on it and how it looks with the way you converted it to a pickup. Perfect little old timey work truck with the right ride height and a good little reliable motor.
Napco - Very cool Truck. Mini-General. Different box. I like the box Brent put on, better.
That english wheel will be as good as new. No doubt Brent. You can do it!
Cool both 54 & 49 are in good shape hope you can get the English wheel to work .Great video sir Brent well done thank you for sharing
Great episode! Motivational ramblings are much needed.
Great Video Brent. And that's a Great idea to keep your parts in the vehicle You ordered them for...
Great to see you fixing some of the stuff from the workshop never throw anything away cheers
Pablo is the perfect friend for the right times, a companion who breathes his owner, we love the work and the companions on the journey, always looking forward to Brent, that's how it's done.
