Could look at thing for hours and still miss something beautiful amazing details
hahaha it is a lot to take in!! So many details! Thanks man!
B::ñ:::
This ain’t no Rat Rod. This is a well engineered, pride in workmanship Hot Rod. Bravo on each and every detail. As the President of our car club, I hand out the Engineering Excellence Award, at each year’s Groundhog Gala.
Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work 😎👍🏆
Thanks a lot man I appreciate that! A lot of sleepless nights went into it
The engineering that went into this vehicle is amazing!
My 10 year degree from google lol
Just found this channel, never knew we had so many talented car builders in Canada!!!…..can’t wait to see more!
Thanks man! Happy you found us, thanks for watching! Canada definitely is home to some great builders! Many of whom I greatly look up to!
Where is his location I want a Canadian build so sick
@@TheNicholas911 British Columbia canada
Nice rat rod truck !
@@MakeItKustomdoubt you'll answer but what do you call it when you cut a hole in a part and flare out the edge of the hole to increase rigidity while maintaining low weight? And how do you do it
I fuckin love how this thing works around the rules, coolest build
Haha thanks man 🙏🙏 Luckily for me, most of the towns around me, the cops just let it slide!!
Brent said you were amazing. He didn’t lie! I love your work. You are very talented. Please keep the videos coming 👍😎.
Thanks for the support we don’t plan on ever stopping! 🙏🙏🙏
I agree 100%, SOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME !!! Larry McCormick
The brass work and details on this truck are simply Amazing !
Cheers man! Thanks so much! Can you tell I love brass? haha
Thanks for the panel beating instruction on previous vids. I'm learning a lot.
That’s great to hear man 🙏
A real showcase of your metalworking talent Karl. The rat-rod is simple and superb. I can easily see why it wins awards.
Awesome build!!! Love all the little unique pieces and parts!! Very well thought out suspension, pretty sure I have the same pumps with the build in slow downs that I had on a body dropped S-10 back about 15 years ago, gave me some good ideas for my upcoming build!!!
czcams.com/video/USHmk4ksJaY/video.html
I don’t know how I missed answering this comment! Thank you so much Amber! Must’ve been a pretty cool s-10 I really like those hydraulic pumps for how compact and simple they are being built in like that
As someone also going on 10yrs with my own personal build, I understand the struggles. Now my chassis is drivable and all I lack is the sheet metal work, but struggle staying on it.
I come here for inspiration to keep pushing myself. Thank you for being genuine.
Incredible, I followed you the last couple of weeks and I think very highly of you, a 76 years old exploring my new phases of living and have taken up metal work you have been a great inspiration
Karl this build is so fantastic!!!!! I love old 30’s pickups.Your such an amazing metal craftsman.
Thanks so much man I’m glad you dig it as much as I do!
This has to be one of the coolest rat rods I've seen. Love the brass and bare metal combo. It's awesome. And I really dig how unique and full of mementos it is. It give me the inspiration for the build I am planning.
Wow!!!! The detail put in to each part is incredible!!! Love the sneaky brass rods! Fooling folks while steel runs through them!!
I've been building chopped Harleys for almost fifty years, came out of Chicago, now in N.C. and am really impressed with the quality of your work and your ideas. I really like the "distressed metal look", I've run a few chops over the years, ratty, distressed. I've watched you for a while, learned a lot about body work I've never done, always been wrenching on drive elements and the frame work. I really enjoyed your rod, after watching your bead roller build and several others. I hope to run into you at a show sometime, it's great to see younger guys doing what we did, so long ago, and carrying on the tradition. Thanks for sharing with us.
Just incredible. Love the attention to detail and the novel engineering.
Thanks ken!
That's a Kickass Hot Rod!! Beautiful work, very detail oriented. You do beautiful kustom work. I can tell your a Class Act from your work and the way you present yourself. Keep up the great you!
Thanks for sharing
That's super nice of you to say, man! Thanks so much !
I have almost 30 years as a frame and body technician Heating beating and welding metal I’ve built numerous muscle cars custom Harley’s but I’ve never seen such beautiful raw metal work your frame and suspension are one of a kind . I love the hand built not bought machines like yours . 👍
Seeing the minute details of a dream creates ART !!!! Never stop painting the canvas of reality.
Thanks man you’re absolutely right! Cheers
Some pretty amazing details and features...the suspension, among other things, is wicked...too many wicked features on this truck...Wow...Definitely deserve to be on a bigger stage but pleased that you are in Canada.
Thanks so much man! I really had a lot of fun building this truck! When the borders open up again I would LOVE to take it to shows in the US. After I had finished the rebuild, we had plans to go to Vegas last April, but the big ol' Corona reared it's ugly head and they cancelled everything, borders shut down a week before our trip.
I absolutely love the sheet metal work. I want to incorporate some wild stuff in my 36 Plymouth and I love your build.
That’s a good year for Plymouth! Thank you!
VERY VERY COOL BROTHA. I absolutely LOVE exposed mechanical inner workings. The interior is right up my alley. I like the fact there is no dash. All the levers (shifter, e-brake etc) and the pedals. Well done sir, WELL DONE!!! 👊🏻
Gorgeous!! The vision, the planning, the skills. Much more than a machine, it is a novel that tells a story👍
That’s a real cool build. The metal work & mechanical ingenuity shows in spades. 😎👍🇨🇦
Thanks Ron! Glad you dig it! It was a really fun build and huge learning curve for me as a builder over the years!
Killer hot rod! Love the hydro-over-coilover suspension!
So many cool touches! Love this truck
Absolutely mind blowing.. what a portfolio piece.. that rod really does give an insight into your style and craftsmanship.. unbelievable! Love the content !
Love that you built it with a lot of scrap parts. I love the challenge of making things from scrapyard parts too.
Thanks man itS fun to use what ya find and make something out of it. Nobody will ever collect the same parts
The fish gills on the door cards look great! Good job on the truck and keep up the awesome videos.
Thanks man! I had a lot of fun doing them!!
I love your channel I'm in so cal I'm trying to reopen my shop I shut it down during the recession now I'm working on getting back to full custom I like how you share what you learned I hope the next generation keeps what we do alive
Exactly what a rat should be. Parts bartered for, parts cheap, parts for free, parts built by hand, parts from here and there and everywhere. Now put it all together, and make it look cool. Mission accomplished and well done brother!
Much appreciated, brother! Thanks so much! I love buying, selling and trading to make everything happen! It’s half the fun! Thanks for watching 👊🏼
Capísimo, quedó fantástico‼️
Thank you!!
Just found and subscribed to your channel. Love the truck! I really like your how-to videos,especially the body drop ones. You know how to explain stuff clearly,
Thanks man I’m glad you like the videos!
Thanks for the awesome story about your truck! I admire your workmanship and ingeniuity! The videos keep popping up, i keep watching.
Thanks for the tour now we have to hear the Horn…
From Halfass customs crew here, and enjoying your show too ,
Ciao
Thanks man! Great crew ! And I’ll show you the horn some day... when I change it 😂
Love your truck, most interesting build I've seen in a long while. Your only limited by your imagination.
Thanks so much dude! You’re 100% right! I love when people think more out of the box!
Limited By Imagination Only!
Is the phrase that pops into my mind when I see truly unique Craftsmanship in engineering, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and metalwork!
If ever a work merited a
Limited By Imagination Only!
Metal plaque on it, its this truly outstanding truck!
Nice to see that someone else recognises it too!
Wow man, this is one awesome looking truck, I really admire the quality of work you have put into it!! This gives me inspiration to work on my own cars 👍
It’s a masterpiece, thanks for showing all the details.
The truck looks great! It looks like a lot of hours of hard work. Awesome job!!! I'm also stealing that meat tenderizer idea for motorcycle brake pedels. :)
Wow - I love this truck. So much going on. You’re incredibly talented. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks so much glad ya dig it !
That fulcrum set up is so mad. So much of it is so raw and cool man, love the creativity.
wow, WOW I Love It!!!! And the thing I love the most is the interior. Your ideas and ingenuity are out of this world.
I thought that it was extremely nice for you to give Brent a great shoutout. I really appreciate your videos. I am going through all of them, be caught soon - maybe.
Great video, cool truck and excellent camera work.
🙏 man he deserves it! Thanks for the positive feedback! We are enjoying making them!
Just found your channel. You and I have very much the same philosophy on building stuff. I love to make something out of nothing. SUBSCRIBED!
Perfect!! Thanks so much subscribing! Wicked to have ya man!
Absolutely incredible build! Everything exposed but done so well. I love it.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for Sharing your truck and how you put it together
You guys are Awsome Builders n I Love watching Halfass Kustoms n He makes things Look so Easy n He has some Skills n So do you n I just Started watching your Videos
Lol, he just goes outside and grabs some of his "bits" and "schmoozes" together half a car with a modern chassis and LS swap in 2 days!
Ya I like your Truck
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS ya That's Amazing huh
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Ya I bought a 1999 GMC truck to put LS swap in one of my Hot Rods n watched him n I thought oh no n No Thanks n I'll keep it Old School n Simple n So Now I'm planning on Selling the Truck n get my Money Back 😆 😆 n I'm not that good in computers n electrical 😆
Thanks so much man! Ya, it's crazy how fast Brent can't put together a hot rod. He's a genius
Yep...I'm here thanks to Brent from Halfass. Brent keeps his channel clean and it appears you do as well. I really appreciate that!! I've been enjoying your videos!
Lol, he just goes outside and grabs some of his "bits" and "schmoozes" together half a car with a modern chassis and LS swap in 2 days! Nothing sweats him... just "eh... no biggie"
THRASH METAL & FUN RIFFS b the I’d ddi
I ell I s
Thanks Rodney! That means a lot! Glad to hear you've been enjoying our content. Brent's a rad dude!
Yes for a young guy he’s talented beyond his years! I’m a faithful follower
Cool build!! Love the detail you put into it.
Best part is, I get to see this on the road occasionally🍻🇨🇦
Hell ya! Local boys! If you ever see the truck out, come by and say hi!
@@MakeItKustom will do @japhands_kustoms🍻🍻
"You can build a hot rod cheap" five minutes in hes already covered work requiring a welder, set of torches, probably a plasma cutter, a bead roller, and a big lathe. 🙄 Props for mentioning Brent, he grabs and fabs like nobody! Also for that brass work on the door--- I think folks would like to see how you did that. Lastly Christina did a nice job with smooth camera work.👍
Thanks Daniel! Great idea for a video I’d love to show some brass bead rolling! 🙏All my tools were cheap too or made 😉
@@MakeItKustom yeah, mine too. I really prefer buying older stuff and repairing or modifying but now thats @&#*$ing trendy too so even old tools are pricey!🤦♂️ Im working on a retired machinist now trying to convince him to let me prebuy some stuff so when hes ready to let it go all I have to do is pick it up. As far as cheap stuff it is hit or miss.
The budget for tools isn't the same as the budget for creations, because tools can be used on other creations & tools aren't car parts.
Great build and attention to detail. Thanks for the walk through. Very cool and amazing engineering.
great work and a cool builder doing it old school,fun to watch great to see this work alive and in great hands.
Thanks mate! That is one awesome truck! Love every bit of it, I wouldn’t change one thing about it! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man!! I'm stoked you dig it!
Great thought into all areas ! Soo many tricks-- I just might steel one or two... three or..six heck I forgot a couple, now I need to watch again -- Thanks!
Hey Carl. Obviously it benefits you making these videos, but I can see that you care about sharing your knowledge and its appreciated man. I'm 43, always done other jobs hoping I can support my passion for cars, but it never worked out that way, I chased the money instead of the passion. I got the money and it didn't make me happy, so I took a step back and just got a job as a Trade Assistant Panel Beater, I start on Monday. I couldn't be more excited. Flicking through CZcams, I came across your channel and so glad I did my bro. Thanks heaps for explaining stuff so well. Keep doing what you're doing. Much love, from a kiwi.
Fabulous ride .Love it all
Coolest way to lift and lower system I've ever seen you got my head working now.
Great job. As I'm building mine this video gives motivation
Being a Dodge is unique enough but that thing is insane.
The creativity and attention to detail is incredible.
You should be proud.
I’m pretty proud of this one! It means a lot to me. Not just the work but the growth that it stands for and the friends that have been a part of it. This truck is soul now
I LOVE IT!!! GREAT BUILD AND GREAT QUALITY!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Tons of awesome fab in that truck. Thanks for the walk through.
Thanks a lot man!
Amazing work and great inspiration
Just found this channel while looking what to do with my 32 Plymouth Roadster. Your creativity is inspiring - thank you for sharing!
You’re very welcome Brian! I really love for 32 Plymouth Very very nice cars
That was a great walk around on your truck, I have admired it while watching you and Brent work your
magic on the crew cab fire truck, congrats the build says a lot about you as a fabricator . God bless you and yours, Stuart in Ontario............................
Dude. So sick. I love all the lil details. Thanks for some ideas and inspiration
Nice car build man thanks looks like a fun ride
I love the raw open MECHANICAL-NESS of it all...everything in plain sight...because that's where all of the cool innovation is. This one truly captures the FLY BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS - FIGURE IT OUT AS YOU GO ALONG, essence of what true hot rodding is all about. Hot rods are supposed to be fun to tinker with and drive and this one has that vibe in SPADES.
Karl, I love detail!! definitely alot here!! Very good job!!
Be safe!! God Bless!!!
Awesome truck! So much work had to go into this. Amazing details!
I Absolutely love the truck, I love the steam punk industrial vibe it has. Awesome Awesome job
Your ride is SICK it's a labor of love you diffently have a skilled trade. Love your garage too nice setup!
Im in love with the interior the most!
Yeah me too I really want to add some more to the roof skin on the inside and kick panels
You are truly an artist. A Verry talented craftsman. Love the work you do, and your channel. Thankyou for your inspiring content.
Favors for parts is wise. I had a friend tell me one time you could get parts for a SBC on the side of the road, I laughed it off and a few weeks later he brought me a 4 barrel intake for a Chevy which I was able to use. If you are not not rich then you have to learn many skills to keep things working and swapping out. Makes us happy. Man, you do some really great work I watch every time I can🤙🏻✌️👌😁
I really dig your suspension. Well done. Great detail work on everything.
Thanks so much! Putting together the suspension was one of my favourite parts of this build
I love your truck! Thanks for sharing how you keep the bare metal finish.
Awesome , my family ran landmark dairy in langley , in the 90 s ..... glad to see a local guy doing well in the car world 🌎
Oh no way Paul! Thank you so much man! Cheers
Love the truck!! you are truly talented !! I have watched this video three times and every time i see something I didnt see the last time
Really cool truck! Love what you did with the radiators!
Wow, that looks sick!!!
That is simply amazing! Love from Bulgaria!
Awesome man I’m stoked that you dig it !
Just got my first f100 59. Just trying to get my head around it. Its a project and a learning experience for me. You truly inspired me to look beyond the standard restoration. Many thanks! Subbed
Awesome man I’m so glad to hear it! Good luck on the 59!
Dude unbelievable coolest thing I’ve ever seen brilliant work between the rough and edgy and the polished master mechanical work, wow .
Thanks so much man! That’s exactly what I’m going for lol
Beautiful! Well done
This is very inspirational for me . I have always had a budget as i have Autism and a steady job has always been something i couldn't rely on and so i have always figured out other ways of achieving cool things in life from learning many skills and repurposing all kinds of stuff . I always wanted to build a rat rod knowing it would be achievable for me and a great channel for my creativity to build something amazing like this . In the UK these era cars are hard to find . 2 weeks ago i set out on a mission to find something and i now own a Morris 10 ;) Amazing machine you have created here !!
Congratulations on your new project! Happy to have your support on the channel 👊👊👊
A real piece of art, you are not just awesome with your fab skills, but an artist of note 👌 love the rod
sweet truck, glad i found the video on it. When you were talking about the raw finish and using Gibbs i was thing before that you used wd40 cause that's what jimmy shine used on his raw metal truck and then bam!!! Jimmy gave you an award. wow
Heaps of talent! Cheers, Doug
Many thanks Doug!
My dad, who has been into hot rods and kustoms for 55+ years, kept telling me about your channel and that I need to check it out. And oh man am I glad he did! You are ridiculously talented and explain things in very easy to digest terms and vids. Your truck is without a doubt one of the best hot rods/kustoms I’ve seen. The craftsmanship is second to none!! I am now subscribed. Between your truck, your wife’s Caddy, the Baby Buick, and the Zephyr…you’ve got your hands full!! I just can’t wait to see more and can’t wait to see how they all progress.
And thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience and for helping teach the next generation of hot rodders and kustomizers.
Jeff, wow thanks so much man I really appreciate the message! Thanks for your support!!!
@@MakeItKustom Thank YOU for sharing your knowledge and experience with the CZcams community! Can’t wait to see all your projects come together. Keep up the amazing work sir.
You're the Man !! What an awesome story on an Amazing hotrod !! Canada loves ya Brother !! OUTSTANDING !!
Looks amazing... Hopefully some day I will build a truck like that style 👍👍
Beautiful car buddy, truly shows your ingenuity and creativity
Love this truck! The rawness of it. Nice work!
Yes! That’s what I was going for raw honest metal
Sick!!!💥
Gosh that machine is beautiful! I’m supposed to be building my hearth and I’ve been stuck on this, awesome job!
Great build! Way cool!
Blown away with your truck, Its really nice to see Canadians building world class trucks and cars.
