  • A guy works a full time job and his whole shop burns down. He sweeps up, moves back into his old garage and still makes more content than most of the automotive youtubers!

  • Brent, great to see your creativity survived a heavy hit! Waylon Wire cites you as a invaluable inspiration after one of his one-off rat rods caught fire inside his garage. He said it hit him really hard until he realized how lucky he was that he only has one project to rebuild. He truly appreciated how well you've handled and transcended a profound setback. You have more fans and supporters out there than you may realize. Thank you for being the man you are!

  • I live in LA. You are recapitulating the hot rodding scene here in the late 1940s/early 50s. Having fun taking old cars and hacking the hell out of them. Back yard seat of the pants innovation. It all began with Model T frames and flathead V8s. You've pushed the technology to Go Pro cameras, plasma tables, TIG welders and turbochargers. Thanks for feeding our vicarious imaginations.

  • Its gonna work just fine. You are such an inspiration Brent. So many of us fuss and complain about trivial things in life, while you went through one of the worst experiences, other than a death, than most of us gearheads can fathom. Yet you just had a beer, and started picking up the pieces. You are gonna have alot better setup than you had before, and you deserve every bit of the good that the future holds in store for you. God bless you and your family, Brother.

I have the flanged plate but no pipes, cutter, grinder and tools except a hack saw. You make everything so magical. Thank You for sharing your wonderful world. Take care and keep em coming, love it, Dennis
