  • In this video we do more sanding on the 1949 GMC Roadster pickup, then switch it up to work on getting her all running and wired up properly to be able to pull her out of the shop. Deciding to take the Roadster for a short little drive doesn't end so well !

    After all the hard work , a simple thing like missing lug nuts brings about an accident and more body work and more sanding . You take everything in stride and continue on which shows you are resilient and prepared for whatever cones your way . Thanks for the video , God Bless you and yours , keep on keeping on , Stuart in Ontario ..

    Your optimism and ability to laugh at adversity makes this channel hands down the channel on CZcams, don’t get me wrong, the fact that you build awesome creations also plays a big part, but I haven’t watched a single video of yours that you didn’t say something that made me smile.

      Wouldn't that be great if you had 6 bodies that build their own cars but as each project progressed the group would go to that individual's house and all chip in with new developed skills And make the thought process easier the solution's better and the effort divided. When you realize that you never start by painting your Resto car project you always do it at the end That's one of the smallest factors for motivation LOL it's done after the fun stuff is

    My heart sunk when I heard that noise I thought that's going to need some Sanding... Before that moment I was never more pleased to watch you and Pablo cruise along in complete Bliss he actually stuck his head outside of the window gave you a kiss and said thanks the best part was when he Was getting in the car and he only made it part way and he indicated to you if you don't help me you aint going anywhere either I will choose the most beautiful moment was your 2 faces cruising Most every negative has a positive Opportunity A possible outcome could be that you could build the coolest and lowest wrecker To create your own so to speak insurance I love this channel And I'm sure I agree with Pablo that you're the man

    Looking good Brent! Just take your time and work on it when your ready. It will get done soon enough. I have a 1973 Plymouth Cuda. I pulled the engine and rebuilding it and repainting it. I thought it would take a month but 5 months later with interruptions, bathroom remodel, truck repairs and helping family and friends it just gets pushed out. "I love this channel"

As for the exhaust ... I like the idea of going out the back. I agree that the line is too good to mess up. Very nicely done. Congratulations. Also, I have to comment on leaving in the catastrophe. Most would have cut that out. It takes a big man to allow that boo boo in the vid.
