That laser welder is really trick. Almost as cool as the ray gun cleaning it does. 😄 Truck is really coming together nicely. It’s gonna be amazing all sacked out and top dropped.
Do you watch Micah Wolfe and Khaos Designs @Blondihacks ? they're cool metalworking Ladies like yourself.
This video really had the “feel” of the ones you made in the old shop. It’s been a little different (and also good), but it was nice to have the old rhythm back for this one. . 😊👍👍
I can't wait to see this in a coat of primer. It's going to look like a million bucks!
Good afternoon Brent! That new welder is amazing! What a game changer fir you!! Always enjoy watching and listening to you Brent!
Man I love your just go for it attitude! Watching you work is inspirational. I think you need a "just go for it" half-ass kustoms T-shirt.
Brent sometimes I struggle to see your vision of things until you start putting it together, but it always amazes me, especially on this truck, I’ve commented before that I’m not a big custom guy but damn this is one of the best builds going on KZhead right now. Thank you for bringing all of us along for the ride.
Did you watch when he was building the General truck? He had two truck's torn apart and I was like he's not going to put that thing back together. Like magic and hard work it all came together.
@@snoopu2601everything this man does leaves me scratching my head, but in a good way lol. And always with a smile and positive attitude, nothing is ever a “big deal”. I really wish I was more like Brent.
This machine sure is coming together really well. The fellor just keeps going. He has a vision an knows just what he wants from that machine and he doesn't waste any time. Thanks for keeping some of us glued in. Stay safe and enjoy.
So glad you refit that center portion of the side step. I thought it was just me being OCD about it. It looks so much better, great job Brent. Love what this truck is becoming.
Brent, I LOVE it when the plan comes together!!!!! That door treatment is looking wonderful!!!! I LIKE IT !!!!!
The way that you put the rocker panel on with the piece on the door looks great😊
That thing sounds like a light saber from Star Wars! That things a wiz for time management for those panels!
That laser gadget you got is so amazing! It welds and blasts rust.
Somebody has a super fast learning curve on his favorite new toy! It's like practicing hole shots at the drag strip.. even if you only get a little better, you still have a lot of fun.
Said it before, now again. You are an artist. Ordering my 2 post lift next week.my shop is tiny but you have inspired me
Great video. Great to see ya welding and shaping again. Those door extensions look really sweet. Look forward to more on the roadster pickup. Roli is making good progress too. Be safe and stay well.
Looking sweet,Brent...laser welding is finding a home😊
Those running boards make it stand out. Going to be a special ride! Keep wrenching!
It was cool to finally see someone use that welding machine. They keep popping up in my feed. When you did your ti.elapse when welding, it sounds like one of them old eighties painters!!!
Brent and his laser, a match made in heaven.
The doors and the running boards are so very cool. And that new welder is amazing. The whole truck is Looking fantastic . Later
To quote Brent "Gollleeeee that's nice"
Absolutely Awesome Brent.. Music was GREAT & sooomuch enjoyment watching your EXPERTISE 👍 GOOOD TO C BUDDY & PABLO keeping an eye on you 🐕 Thank you for take'n us along ♥️ 🤠
pablo always has that 'are we done yet?' look in his face.😊
Beautiful work. Looks amazing. It will be a piece of art once you are done with it.
Brent...make end caps for the running boards that includes mounting tabs behind to attach to frame or body!
YEAH... CURB RASH , STEPPIN ON IT WILL CRUSH IT... ROCK SLIDER RAIL/SUPPORT NEEDED
It's those little details that set you apart from the rest, beautiful job. Keep up the awesome work
Damn, that looks great! I LOVE my new running boards hahaha.
Lookin good! Make sure you have some custom decals made up saying “NOT A STEP” for those running boards. 😮
Pablo's keeping a close eye on the whole production I see.
Me too
He’s just waiting for his treats 😂
I see green led lights underneath those running boards….
Another innovative addition. The running boards turned out really good. Some day soon it will be done and look fabulous Sure to win some awards..
Wow what a difference the metal on the bottom of the doors and being fit into the running boards makes. To use one of your lines “I like it’
I knew that gap was going to eat at you whether it was on film or not that was going to change. Even though it would probably never be noticed when on the ground...but that's who you are why I keep coming back! Awesome video!
Inside custom build...tips , tricks , methods ..GOOD WORK ..!the lazer sure enables touchy cures..! Bodywork less heat warp problems..? Carry on
Excellent video Brent :) , Buddy & Pablo The Supervisor Dogs 🐕 and come together nicely also very good too!
Always nice to have equipment to make life easier nothing wrong with that
Getting that laser really dialed in!
What a truck! It is going to be hard to beat this one!
Your dog knows how to pick out a nice soft piece of concrete and have a snuzz. Nice work Brent. I love the weld coming from your new welding gun. Yes sometimes its hard to beat our old meg guns. But that new one is very slick!
Great job as always…you know what to do!!! Lovely to see Buddy😊Pabs is coooool.👍🇬🇧
Your experience....muscle memory ....true to form. Thanks for the metal fab lessons.😀
Excellent vid, Excellent work, its awesome to see your imagination get constucted with your skill. Thanks for your time and effort. I still say there has not been a better build on the web than the General, nice to see it in the shop.
really liking how those running boards are turning out!!! That laser welder going help you get more done in less time!! That will real sweet!
Hello Brent: As a previous viewer mentioned The Foreman is sure keeping a close eye on this episode. He will not let you get too far from his comfort zone. He is a little early in demanding his ride. Pablo's not going to miss it when the opportunity presents itself.

Really cool to see you surprise yourself and have the door bottom come out easier than expected. Always a good day in the shop when things go right. Enjoy todays' success, you deserve it!. I look forward to every video. You're one of the best channels on KZhead!
Hey Brent! I really like the way it’s working out. Nice work my friend. Stay safe. 😀😀
Wow I fellt like going grocery shopping while listening to this video the pick up is near it's first burn...
Brent, put a little spring T foot just in the back of the wire feed to push the metal down as you weld over it.
Definitely looks good Brent and The Laser Welder looks like it cut down on Grinding Very KOOL
Dam that looks great 👍🏻 beer time 🍻🍻💪💪
Nice with the Jazz 😀
Looking nice but requires a lot of patience. Cool little details all over this truck. Trying to picture it in paint.
You just totally amaze me with how you just put your mind to building your cars
I like it !! awesome work on the doors , If you haven’t thought of a color yet I would like to see it in White!!
So fun to watch this truck come together! Integrating the running boards into the bottom and the door is pure metal magic, Brent.👍😎
Lots of great work you done on this video Brent, it all looks great.
Man that worked out really well and the bottom door scoop didn't hit the guard on opening! Plus that welder is going to save so much time it just needs a bit of thinking as to how to make the best weld run. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! 👍
you are A number 1 ..talented professional skilled...love the door drop downs...be proud...thank you
Looking great so far Brent. The body bottom flares out really cool. 😎👍💯
I love it Brent. Awesome styling.
That welder is cool. Be interesting to know about the wire it takes, size wire? I can see where this welder will be good for metal fab. Trucks coming along nicely." Body kit" lol.is looking the parts
Am I the only one that Cha Cha'd while watching the panels being welded at the 24 min mark, lol?
You are so outside the box on this one I love it. 👍
You are very talented in what ever you’re working on, have a great weekend.
I couldn't weld two pieces of paper together with Elmer's glue. But that new device looks like it has a place in your new shop.
Looking good as always.
Pretty awesome fabrication as usual. Keep on trucking!!!😊
Well that little session shoulda filled yur sails abit. She's lookin mint, mate, love how you got all the tools out, and it shows thit yur havin fun with yur new welder/ derustifier. Big dog right at the end, "c'mon Pa, let's go fur a ride, p l e a s e ?'" Or was it "I get a BIG TREAT now don't I?" Yeah, I bet it was the treat. It always is with mine. You guys look sharp doin rode trips though. Cheers
Now that's some great progress! Truck is looking great! Take care
Dragged out the space welder, cool! I actually used my tig to weld something today instead of trying and failing. I think i finally got my brain to cooperate with my hands😂 Not sure about the love boat music though…nah, its alright!
As a guy in the trades 20 years, it's really cool to see someone doing what they love, your work and vision combined with the art is fantastic
Nice to watch a plan come together.
Really loving this build Brent. Loving the design.
Awesome job Brent.
Brent way to go on the head banging sheet metal work way nice stuff good sir, from Jeff Judah in TN
Nice flow from the door to the running board. I like it too
tO dAWG cARONA love to see you using the new laser thing. Welds are looking good. I am not in love with throunded off bed sides you spent so much time on but am 100% with everything else1
That’s a lot of progress !! Well done as always ..
Boy, that Laser welder works great. Think I'll check my checkbook balance and run out and buy one.
It looks fantastic.you should put some kind of drainage on the flat, under the door 😮
Hey hey listen I complained about the white walls on the tires. I did not mean anything bad at all. I'm in my late 70s and have 4 eye site. And I have to watch you on my telephone. With a very small screen, I love the idea of white walls. I just can't see them LO. LI would like you to know. I never miss one of your. What if we are episodes? I think you are a great builder. I don't know how you do the things you do. It's fantastic and I so appreciate you and I thank you for the good times I have when I watch you folks have a great day
Right? Ain't it great to watch (great quality vids by the way) genuine crafts people right there in their element
Man it didn't take long for you to get the knack of the new welder. I really like the thin bead, a lot more precise.
I tell you the truck is looking better and better every time and that's a pretty neat welder never seen nothing like that
Your the man with the metal Brent 👍
The running broads turned out awesome. I would box in the two ends.
I take my hat of fore you, LOVE it.
Brent this is cool and trick you are visionary.Stabilize that A pillar and door hinges before you gap the doors .
Looking good. I like your new fango welder. Something new and improved welding way. Cool. Ronnie.
Great job my friend.
