  • In this video we get a lot done. First we fix the door on our GMC, then build & install support braces for the running boards under the truck. Ryder works on his quad and builds a custom fuel tank and I polish and paint the wheels on the Roadster pickup.

    At 47 and making myself learn about welding the last couple years, I wish I would have learned it at a younger age like this kid is.. got to get him into metal shaping as well.. he will be able to hand build a car by 25 all by himself…. I wonder if he’s aware how much of a blessing it is for him to have the opportunity to learn those things at his age.. especially with such a talented teacher 💯

    This truck really stands apart from the rest. One of a kind. By the time Ryder is 30 he is going to be a certified badass builder. Cant start em too young ,looks like he is really good already.the fast cut is paying for itself already . That was like 6 hrs of hand fabbing just the one side brackets. Good work

    The 47 is really getting close. You got a lot of the little but important stuff done in this one. The wheels are gonna look perfect with the center caps. Be careful now, you might have to change the garage name. Nothing half asked about this 47. LOL. Can't wait to see you and Esther cruising this one.

    I did metal rims for my suv, so I completely understand your lack of enthusiasm towards having to sand and prep those rims and paint them. It's a lot of freaking work btw U're rims look smart Brent. I like them !!!

    Brent, if your worried about header leaks at the head area, buy 2 sets of stock SBC manifold gaskets, double them up with the metal sides outwards, been doing this for yrs with absolutely zero leaks! In fact I did this on my 68 chevy belair 14 yrs ago and no leaks to this day, I also cut the collector flanges off and welded the pipe instead of using the bolt on flanges. Hope this helps you or someone else. Thank's for sharing!
