Your old shop may have been bigger, but the new shop appears to have more usable space for you. It had more sections to it and was not as open as this lay out. In between the new shop and new toys, it's made a very cool build on this truck. I really enjoy watching you bring these old beast back to life.
The old shop had personality.
@@billholder9665 I agree!!
Didn't the old shop have the same floor size?
yeah, I took the old had 20 years to get there so it’ll take a little time but This one will eventually get there.
@@HalfassKustoms I have a question?...... Why paint the engine bay black? Wouldn't it be better to have a light grey to let out some heat?... and it would be better to trace leaks?
Wait a second. Rust, paint, AND metal work? Is this the right channel?
I’m enjoying every minute of this build! Once you get the spray gun out you know you are on the home stretch 😊. Thank you for sharing your progress with us.
I think it's awesome to clean&paint engine bay then paint the engine block same color as truck or chevy orange!!❤
westport wa.state here sir and mrs, sir. i thank you for the best music video's wife is back from hospital. live and kicking. life's good. be well god bless.
That SRV, or SRV-esque jam at 19min+ made this build all the cooler. I can imagine crushing down the road in this listening to the master.
That Lazer cleaner is so neat !
It would be awesome shame they are not cheap yet
No Harbor freight model available yet 😅
Love that Lazer. Gets you to my favorite part faster. Body and chassis paint. Nice to see all the work get protected
It’s always a nice feeling to throw a little paint on a project. Little light at the end of the tunnel
Hay Brent, the build is looking awesome
Lots of progress on this one Brent, looks nice where you painted all of the black. So cool to see how Pablo watches you working and likes to be near you. 🙂
You're getting there! I'm looking forward to watching you finally start that truck up and rolling down the road.
With Pablo!
Always nice to see paint going on. Means one phase is complete and moving on to the next one. Looking forward to seeing the Mechanical assembly next!!!
If there was a KZhead Grammy for picking the coolest music, you'd win hands down, Brent. Such class. Another great, educational episode, thanks 👍
I'd watch your show for the music alone. Someone has some excellent taste and some first class editing skills.
The Lazer is awesome! We are finally living in the retro-future from the ole sci-fi flicks! Lol 👽
Alien tech.
Its looking great , the black covers a multitude of sins , and adds a coat of protection on the metal work .You got a heap of things accomplished and it all adds up . Thanks for having us along , till next time ,Stuart in Ontario ..
That laser gun is so cool. The firewall sure let out a lot of the magic smoke
Looking good Brent. Also I was thinking Chad and jolene might stop by on their way back home. You and Esther take care.
Poor Pablo is waiting patiently to go for a "rip:".... But, a few of those treats will keep him satisfied for a while. BTW, I, for one really enjoy watching you repair and modify all that most people would think is beyond repair.. Waiting for you to get the exhaust bender back on line...
GZ, The fellor sure does like to keep a pair of cutters near bye. If it moves or hangs down, cut is off.. Sure does gives you faith to follow in the footsteps. Well with a little more thought, caution and not so nervous hand. The laser zapper sure can make a vehicle look pretty for cleaning and painting, save a lot of time. Enjoy the usage Brent.
Paint is the sure sign of progress. She’s looking really good now Brent. Stay safe.
Brent, try that needle scaler on the next parts you cut on the plasma, they work great for knocking off the heavy dross
Truck is looking good...my grandpa used to say "putty and paint makes it look like what it ain't". I love that laser.Hmmm,wonder how it would work on trolls? 😉👍
Thank you Brent for your video on the pick up.getting there my friend. ❤️💯👍👊
Looking good Pablo wants a treat or two lol
Looking much better Brent! Great progress when you get to paint.
Sorry for not watching been in hospital for a double buy pass surgery I have watched some but not a lot but you and your better half are great when I get back home I get some more in
I'd like to see this with a LS. But, I'd like to see you make an adaptor for an old school valve cover. Move the coils to the firewall or hide them somehow. You are fun to watch think through something and make it work.
Woohoo Paint and body has been my job the last 34 yrs. The fabricating is my favorite but I've painted a few all over paint jobs at my old house
Looking good man! Glad to see you using the new facility to it's potential.
Paint looks super,still enjoying your work,my honest opinion caused a stir. Thanks 🤷🏽♂️😇😊
Could anyone ever imagined that light would clean rust of a vehicle in the 50's?
Amazing how 40 minutes with a pair of t gun can make 2 months of work just come together
THAT LAZER LOOKS TO BE YOUR NEW BEST FREIND
Yes sir after taking the heavy rust off the laser seems to work very good ,I think it was a good investment you will get more use out of it in the future i am sure.The 49 is looking good with the paint on her.Well done sir Brent thank you for sharing
Love the way you made the way the hood goes on and opens its cool I like it...
Really love your videos. Can't wait to see that beast up and driving.
For heavy rust scale, it looks like first pass laser clean -> needle scaler on scaley areas -> 2nd pass laser clean seems like a good option. I am thinking about getting set up to do this same process myself. thanks very much for your videos on laser cleaning
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Love your stuff as always .
As big as your Shop is now, it looks to be staying a comfortable temperature. I’m surprised at that but glad you have a nice place to work now .
Looking good!
