You guys have ALWAYS been my most favorite folks and so glad that you can keep a upbeat spirit through this horror. Don't worry about us, WE WILL STILL BE HERE !!!!
Absolutely
@@steve-gp1nc 21st ❤ ❤ ❤
Me too, I'm not going anywhere, I'll watch each a every one of you videos like I've been doing for long time. Cheers.
Still watching from Washington State. The journey starts with the first mile and there will be hills to climb so if you need a push just reach out and we will support you and Esther. Like, share and communicate with other car people. And buy some of their products 👍 Just went on line and purchased a shirt. I’ll be proud to show your colors at my next car show.
Yep, North Alabama will always be here
The "hands on culture" is a giving community that understands what makes us who we are. It's not just about what you have but what you can give to others that is missing in this world today. We're all just visiting this place and what time we have here and what we learned from it is our legacy to pass that on to the next generation and it's priceless! 🤠
Despite the severe fire and all the ordeal that follows, you take the time to teach a little boy to do mechanics and to drive a pickup truck. The look on his face when it's time to shift is absolutely priceless. Love this! ❤
Its really great to see you smile again. Taking Ryder out for a blast around the field was priceless. He will always remember that day. You both had some fun.
It was fun driving it
@@RyderLamoureux number #2 sub here. Just watched your latest video asking which colour to use. Your vid is set to children so no one can comment. I say red. Good luck with your channel bud.
@@HitchHiker4Freedom thanks I will put it red for you
Thanks for telling me that I know somethings was wrong 😂
@@RyderLamoureux I figured you didn't realize it when you asked for comments on colour choice bud. 😆 Glad to help. Looking forward to the rest of your build. 👍
The memories Ryder is going to have from doing all these things with you will be memories he will never forget. The respect you have for everybody involved is why friends are treating you both like they are. Please keep the vids coming you are an inspiration to us all.
I agree with what you said 110%
The smile on the young man's face when he was driving the truck was priceless 👍👍👍
Brent I see bonding with Ryder gave you the energy to smile and slow down. My dad would come get me many times and the neighbor's to repair bikes and lawn mowers. The driving lesson made me cry, no matter how scared I was his calm actions and laughing with me made my day. He told me many times it made bad things better for him to face and solve. Excellent video Sir.
The smile on his face when he dumped the clutch and that old truck took off, every kid should be so lucky. Really anxious to see Austin's Buick too. You 2 are doing great and I'm honored to have you share some of the goodness you bring, its awesome! Thank you for your time. Cheers from Maine
I really enjoyed this episode! It had a little bit of everything. Some cleaning, some rearranging, some planning, some tinkering, and the most fun, some driving lessons! The smile on his face was priceless when you hopped out and he slid into the driver's seat. Just awesome!
Nice to see Ryder learning to drive on the property. He had a smile a mile wide. Keep it up guys!
Good to see Pablo supervising the cleanup! BTW, the look on Ryder's face when he was about to take the wheel - PRICELESS! Continue to be well - you're an inspiration!
Ryder, good to see you more helping your grandpa. Grandpa has great teaching abilities, and you will learn much, not just about cars and trucks but about important things like his patience, kindness, and joy his for life. Hope to see more of you working with your grandpa.
Ryder is actually a neighbour’s son haha
Your grandson's are lucky little guys to see the smile on ryders face is awesome. I'm a huge fan of your channel and to see you continue with out missing a beat. You guy deserve everything life has to offer. Family is the most important. Thank you for all the great content brings back so many memories of my dad and I working together when I was a kid
Really cool to see you doing what you love again and smiling and having a laugh , thank you for letting me be apart of this wonderful community
Love to see the younger generation wanting to work on Old vehicles.. it's great you're showing him how to drive and work on all vehicles!!
"We're back" that brought tears of joy to my heart. Happy to see the recovery of such a wonderful family. Thank you and I am especially happy and proud of your KZhead community.. They've been extraordinary. You have a great community and well deserved.
That smile on ryders face was just priceless.. thanks again Brent. And family wishing you folks all the best👍👍.
It's so cool to see you teaching your grandson how to do all this stuff and teaching him how to drive those old trucks and heavy equipment. Very cool 👌
Ryder is actually a neighbour’s son haha
So cool to teach Ryder how to drive a clutch. These days there aren't many young people who can. Much fun watching you working on trucks again.
It's so awesome to see a young man learning how to work with his hands. And making those memories with grandpa. Priceless. ❤ oh, and welcome back. 😂
Welcome back, you never left us and we won't leave you, Ryder's truck drive was great, we all remember learning the clutch, man that brought back great memories THANKS. Your 1958/59 will be a great build, we all wish we had one!
Ryder's smile say's it all. Couple more years I expect to see his KZhead channel. Halfass Kustoms Jr.
Or QuarterAss Customs? 😉
The expression on that Young Un's face while driving the truck was total excitement! A future Gearhead!
Watching Ryder wrenching alongside Brent is heartwarming, seeing Ryder learning to drive was AWESOME.
Brent you are one of the best automotive youtube channels that works on classic cars. Of course everyone is willing to help. We want to get you up and running again so you can keep us busy watching and learning. I can't wait to see the new shop being built, and what you change, and what tools you fix or replace. I don't care what you do as long as you are making videos I'm watching man. Take care, and see you on the next one. Later.
Once Ryder gets the hang of driving that old Dodge, he will be able to drive anything!
Having Ryder work alongside of you is priceless. I can assure you that you’ll be looking back on these moments knowing that family is everything. Even with all the recent loss, you are a lucky man!
Driving with Ryder, I think my smile was as wide as the boys... legends are made of this
Great to see you giving your grandson driving lessons. Not many kids get that experience. You and Ester keep up the positive attitude.
I'm glad you're working on stuff again I wish you and your family the best
Driver's Ed.. Always best to learn on something with a challenge.. Once conquered, any others will be "elementary my dear Watson" . Thanks for taking us along for the ride and sharing your reorganization and Summer Rides👍
The smile on Ryders face is priceless!
Brent , After everything you have going on now , you are still doing vids and teaching your grandson how to drive and so much more . You and Ester desurve all the love your getting . I know you'll both be fine ....
Seeing Ryder learning to drive a stick shift was the best. He's got a heck of a teacher !
You are back!!!lLovely seeing all of you smile.Special times with Ryder…..memories last for ever.😀😀😀
Man - I'm so proud of your family, friends, and fans! I'm proud to be a fan! $90K!
Brent the way you continue to persevere in the face of such loss is just astounding. It says a lot about your character. Bless you sir.
Wow!...it's starting to feel normal again. So happy you are back to doing what you guys do best. Very happy for all of you. Thanks for all your hard effort and continuing the great entertainment.
Bret, I just wanted to say I don't shed to many tears but boy it hurt seeing that your shop burned down. I love your videos and you and your family are absolutely an inspiration! Being a retired U.S. Vet living in Okinawa, Japan you are my link to the hobby I used to enjoy when I was a young man. I had to sell my 56 Chevy 210 Sedan that I restored from the ground up before I moved back to Okinawa with my wife after I retired. I miss the hobby very much and it is channels like yours that keep it alive for me. Lord knows if I were close enough to your location I would gladly pitch in to help you with your recovery! Keep those videos coming and may the good Lord shine a light on you and your family and even greater things are going to happen in the future! God Bless, take care and stay safe!
Love the restoration videos of the tools and the shop coming together. Please keep sharing the progress. We are all invested with you in the rebuild, by our time watching you! Thank you and keep the videos coming!
Nothing better than turning a negative into a positive situation 👍 Awesome job teaching drivers education 😀
Hello Brent, it's really great to see you working on the things you like. Your truly an inspiration, such a great and positive man. Wishing you and Esther all the very best. 👍👍👍
tools in the buckets, use vinegar. Love the show ,stay positive, keep moving forward, its going to get better !
Brent it is so good seeing you working on a vehicle again. Just cool To see the cup holders also. Best wishes to you and yours. OMG! Look at the smile on Ryders face.
Well if you guys didn't know you have to know now, Everyone loves you guys and we don't want to lose you guys and your great content. I would love to see another 4 door truck build.
It's wonderful to see how quickly your entire demeanour brightens once you get your hands on a rusty old car. It's brilliant. We'll done on being an excellent human being.
Thanks for the years of Great Videos, our Family to yours, GOD Bless!
Wow! Just can’t believe how great it is to see you right back at it! Unbelievable how quickly you got that shop up and running! And both of you have such an amazing, positive attitude about the whole deal. Your steadfast resilience, all with a smile and a calmness that makes even us viewing feel. You are giving us all hope, especially the way the world is going right now, that we can “endeavor to perceive”, no matter how much things can suck at times. So good to see this! Very motivating! We look forward to watching you “drive on with your bad self!” Thank you!
Even when you’re resting you’re working . Thanks for being an amazing inspiration and showing us how to carry on no matter what. Keep up the good work and thanks for more videos. Tell Ryder we are looking forward to him grinding, cutting, welding and wrenching on stuff too.
One of my best friends is building a 48 ford truck. His reason: its the truck his grandpa taught him to drive with back on his grandpa's farm. You're building some powerful memories with Ryder and your casual fun attitude as he learns will be remembered and loved long after you are gone. What a great gift to give him! 👍🏻
Hey Brent, so good to see you working on your trucks again with Ryder along side. Glad you have a working shop again. You can only wire brush for so long. Hope you can piece your plasma table back together before long. Keep up your spirits and remember laughter is the best medicine. Thanks and we'll see you next time.
Becoming a big fan of Ryder in your videos. Someone is doing a great job raising him!
Man... so good seeing you tinkering again, just messing with the cars. Brought a huge smile to my face. Looking forward to the new shop but loving what you're doing and what you've achieved so far.
The look on Ryder's face while learning that old four speed was priceless. I taught myself to drive a clutch on a 1960 Volkswagen about 55 years ago.
That is a weird way it rusted out. Never seen one like that. Jack. Ya'll are very welcome. You make it very easy to be liked. We need more people in this world like Ya'll. Thank you.
So cool to watch you teaching Ryder the old manual tranny. It brought back memories of me when I was 13 or 14. It was a Plymouth Valliant with three on the tree. BTW, car guys and gals are the best ever fo sho!❤
One bite at a time. Making progress. And Pablo laying in the middle of it like nothing has changed. ❤
Pabs is my spirit animal!
So Cool you are teaching Ryder how to drive. Especially a stick shift. Love the smirk/ smile he made when you got out to go around to the passenger side. Good to see your wife too. Waiting..
It was fun watching you and Rider just having fun driving around.. 👊👊👊
The smile on that boy's face says it all. Nice to see you turning some wrenches again. Everything is moving in the right direction.
It's nice to see you smiling and laughing again Freddie boy.
Love watching your channel I’m glad to see someone teaching the younger generations how to do stuff and how to drive standards
You are amazing, you have the most positive attitude, we will be here watching as you put the kustom shop back together one rusty clamp at a time!!
Spending time with grandchildren is priceless cherish every moment, memories are made. Never know when you may loose them.
Great to see you bouncing around with the patience of a saint Brent. Letting Ryder have a bit of a rip in the old truck is priceless. I must admit I still shed a tear when Esther snuck in to help you end the vid. Bless you both.
Great to see you doing again what you love. Ryder is very lucky to have you to pass on your knowledge too. He'll grow to be a champ in your footsteps
You two have such a great positive mental attitude after all that you’ve been through, keep those great smiles and laughs there, I love seeing them and hearing them ! I haven’t gone anywhere I still look for the new drops and I always will !
👍
Brent you and your wife are good people i have been watching you for a year i have never seen anyone like you what a smart hard working man thank you for sharing your life with this old man i am 73 years can't what for your videos sorry about the fire you will come back better God Bless.
I had a great big smile on my face when Brent was teaching Ryder how to operate the clutch on the old truck that was cool👍🏽 Shop is back in business great stuff.
Passing knowledge on to the youngsters,really cool.The world needs more of this.💯
Ryder did well with the clutch, he,s a fast learner, a chip off the old block as they say, its great to see both of you coming out of all this Tragedy and the new little shop taking shape.
You guys are great, Im sure everyone else that watches your channel feels the same, and wish they could do more to help. You both are an inspiration to us as you rebuild. Ryder is a lucky boy to have you around to teach and inspire him. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see you show him how to drive the Dodge. He will never forget that ride!
Was great seeing you two drive around the yard, brought back all kinds of memories 👍 good to see ypu laughing again Brent
Teaching Rider how to use the clutch brings back really good memories.
It is so good to see you in the new (temp) shop , With projects in the air and things coming together . Your smile is back on high beam and the computer in your head has things on the front burner. Thank you for having us along to share these moments . God Bless you and yours , you are the man , till next time , Stuart in ontario .................
Ryder is making memories that will live a lifetime. Without mentioning my age I can still remember the first old car that I wrenched on and how much learned from it. Still smile thinking about it. Thanks for being a mentor to him and for bringing in another future hotrodder. Love your blog!
Great moments the grandson will remember for the rest of his life.
Your strength to fight through adversity has been really inspiring to watch, Brent I'm a subscriber for life
My support will always be unconditional. You and Esther are two of the most genuine people I’ve found. I hope one day to meet you, living in the UK it might never happen so I’ll support by liking and commenting and watching everything that you post. It’s important that you take time for yourselves especially after the loss you’ve suffered. Take care! Liam.
Me too , in North Carolina :>)
That was so cool to Ryder's face when got the truck off and rolling.
Brent and Esther... take some time to yourselves and just enjoy each other 😊 Hope you've been having a very blessed weekend!!!
Hugs to the wife ! She did a good job of keeping ya built up together
Thank you for taking us on this roller-coaster of a journey . Love , life and eternal happiness to you .
Great to see rider, jumping in, he watches to learn on first time. then he tries to do the job, seams to be able to get right in and do what needs to be done. Be very proud of this young man.

Hands down my favorite channel on the utubes. Watching Ryder learn how to drive a rattly old truck, seeing how you all just jumped right back into the swing of things, and your overall positive attitudes... I'm in tears. Some of sadness but mostly of joy. Thank you for being you and I know I speak for everyone when I say God bless you, and keep on truckin!
There he is!! Every step forward is better than any step back... You post 'em, we'll watch 'em!! it's coming along!!
That was a nice visit, glad I stopped by. Sure did my heart a good one, when watching Grampa N Grandson bouncing around out in the field in a squeaky old truck.. How very fortunate. forward. Hi Ester. Be well.
Great to see that smile back Brent (and Esther too!). looks like you just needed to get back working on cars. You guys are wonderful people & deserve every encouragement & any help you receive. Long live Halfass Kustoms!
