      No shit ! Yet everybody and their brothers know all about the guys producing junk . One guy even made fun of Bellos . He was talking about the guy who uses a mini saw to make perfect patches , then tigs everything together . He was saying he can do the same thing in an hour ....but he left out the part about using 50 pounds of Bondo to hide his crap work . He also left out the fact that in 20 years , his Bondo crap will be all shrunk up , cracked , and basically junk . 50 years from now , when somebody takes one of Bellos jobs and strips it down for paint , he'll say " Man , whoever did this knew what the fuck he was doing " . Anyway , I hope Carapilla is just off doing something else for a minute ....and returning soon .I'd like to see a feature video on Carapillas '30 ...or '31 ? . Keep up the good work Bellos and Company .

    The '49 Chevy Coupe is my absolute favorite car. I've loved it since I was 16 in La when I saw one in an old guy's yard. His dog was living in it. He wouldn't sell it. I'm 66 now so 50 years of loving this car. Maybe one day.

    Hey Mike you should be using the hearing protection whenever you using any power tool. No matter what kind of noise they are producing, low or high, it is having an impact on your ears. I spent twenty years in the Air Force working on different radars, cabinet blowers make a low rumble, antenna drive systems make anything from a low whine electrical drives, to the scream of hydraulic drives. I have been wearing hearing aids for at least 20 yrs. and it ain't the coolest thing believe me, take care of what you have left!

    Brother I've been dealing with cars since I was 16, I'll be 64 this year. If you are a young man wanting to get custom modifications done to your car you better have some patience!!!. I know,it seems like forever. But Mike is correct about what he is talking about! Rewind the video again and again. I grew up in the Sam Fernando valley,CA. This is a patience game , get your shit done right, some of my homies had to wait a year just to get in a good shop. I now live in Denver Colorado wish I had a guy like Mike. Oh yeah!!
