Hi Karl: I just want to tell you that I am so impressed with your steering colum set-up and all of your fabrication and tool building skills. I see you as Canada's best young car builder and you have an incredable carreer head of you. Also your Utube skills and filming is outsanding. Dont slow down you are going to be seen as another Chip Foose, Bobby Walden and Gene Windfield. You have my support all the way.
Well, thank you so much! I love what I do and I’m lucky to be doing it
His attention to detail is on another level.
Joy even when things go wrong, this is what makes you special, even more than the crazy skills! 👍🇬🇧
Hi there Karl I think your ability to think an idea through is amazing. Absolutely loved the end result and finish of the column setup. A+ work as always in my opinion. Can't wait to see the next steps. 💪😊
Steering wheel looks great, and I really love the look of the art deco waterfall. It all looks soooooo coooooool!
Karl one of the neat things I learn from you is how you take difficult ,for me, and a make it a simple job. 1000 thanks by now
Once again, amazing work and great job explaining and showing how you did things.
Great work as usual Karl. Kind of a cool experience to see your car built step by step. Not many people get to experience that so having detailed documentation of build has been super cool. See you next month.
Great work on the column install. Great ingenuity. Simple yet elegant. The steering box install went great. Love the steering wheel and turn signal choice. Looks very strong. Look forward to more on the ramp truck. Be safe and stay well.
Enjoying AND learning, thanks.
Awesome job Karl love watching your progress.
That rod with the 1/4 inch hole idea is really smart!!!
Looking real good!!! Thanks for sharing!
I think it looks perfect... You are a true craftsman!
Nicely done Karl, every aspect of that car is very custom and very well thought out. I watch you and Jordan all the time and I appreciate your skills and your explanations how you do things and you both are willing to share what you’ve learned, thank you for that! Sounds like your Australian trip will be a blast!
The smaller diameter '40 wheel is terrific! Nice detail on your mounting pieces.
Wow, that is great. I just love how the roadster is turning out. Keep up the good work.
Steering column & steering wheel look awesome!!
Great job as usual!!
Good stuff Karl. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.
The love you put in your work shows 😀👍
We enjoy your presentations and especially the fact it is family friendly with no foul language or temper tantrums. Thank you for the video on the VAVAVOOM garage, we have been looking all over for older vehicle parts. We have a collection on 1954 Chev trucks from 1/2 to 3 ton and a 1933 Chev sedan delivery. All are in the process of restoration. Thanks Again for your channel, keep up the good work.
I love the 40 steering wheel Limeworks makes good looking tradition parts
Everything about this car is beautiful. Nice work Karl!
loving it , love the Art Deco turn signal stalk and the brass work.
Gives the car a steam-punk look but with class.
The Duval Windscreen, the whole nine yards.
killer job Karl.
great job again, I can't wait when it's finished
Great stuff Karl you make it look so easy
I love the steering wheel, its give ya the perfect classic look! which is exactly what you want !!! The Roadster is looking good.
You're more than a mechanic you're an artist my friend
Nice job Karl
Love it!
Loved the hole saw then the metal snips to make it mo betta.
Really liking this build!
Just a tip on two things! The hole saw, I just turn the drill bit around and just do the lock screw up on the twist. Saves the saw walking around on any sheet,
Second is if you buy a 180deg 2 1/4 mandrel stainless bend, cut it in half and then cut the flange off the block huggers weld the cut 2 1/4 on there you can extend the exhaust joint back out of the way of everything and gives a much cleaner look there
Neat trick guiding the hole saw, I'll have to remember that! Great stuff as always Karl ✌
Love the Art Deco style!
Great show to watch
Really dig that steering wheel!
If you look at many pro builds . . .
The steering wheel is pushed in same with pedals so taller people fit
Rat rods cheat by making longer doors or worst moving engines forward
Sir K Fisher has the true gift of searching for sexy line and no compromise
Its been good to see all of 35:58 you skills over the time iv enjoyed your custom tweeks seeyou soon with you no who 👍✌🇬🇧
Always makes the day better when I see a video from Karl drop!
Very technical experience you are the best
Another great Idea from Karl! Thanks for showing you are human! We all screw up! It then just becomes a matter of how fast you can recover! Great video!
Thanks Larry! Cheers!
Yay! Model A content! Yay! Ramp truck content!
Karl love the detail and care to make this look special ! Should try to get it all done and take it to the Deuce Days in Victoria in 2025 ! On the ramp truck ,show case your work and let others see it in person !
That’s a great idea I’ll definitely be there!
Once again you did a fantastic job.
U da man Karl lol 😊 Looks like you found those flexovit disks.used to use those all the time 👍
It is so enjoyable to watch your videos, I'm always waiting for the next one.
Happy to hear that! Thanks, Paul!
Awesome, work!
I wasn't loving the dash until this vid, now it looks great with the wheel in place
Right on! Glad you came around on it
Looks really sharp
Braddah Karl, I’m so impressed with your skills. You make these awesome looking projects and make it so relatable to the average car guy or welder. Not saying that I could make the same thing in one try but I know it’s doable if had the courage to do it. Mostly time and money stops me from a project build. One day though. You inspire me so keep the videos coming! Aloha🤙🏼 35:58
Great Stuff !!!
Karl thank you for another 🙏 awesome 👌 video 📹 love your CRAFTSMANSHIP AND VERY DETAILED.....I LEARN A LOT EVERYTIME AND ENJOY WATCHING 👀 THE VIDEO
You are the very best, alot better than bad chad. Thank you for your help.
Really amazing!
I learn more each video. how to do things and work habits. very nice dash, column, gauges, stg wheel and turn signal besides the rest of the hotrod.
Steering column and dash looks killer! Really like the 40 steering wheel. Take care and enjoy the trip to Australia!
Excellent!!
Your medal work is beautiful. Keep up the good work
Man it’s just so clean! I did learn something. That hole saw trick could come in handy for tons of things. Thanks
Looks great, very sweet ride
All is spot on karl like the way the transition of motor mount and steering box came together and steering mount also steering wheel is perfect super neat work too 💯.... I'm heading over to the other channel....🙂👍🙏
Thanks!!! Cya over there!
The thing I like about your channel is that I learn something every time. I really enjoyed seeing your thought process on the steering column install. Looking forward to more...
Very nice work Karl ! Once again you make it look so easy but as we all know it ain’t so. I love the steering wheel , it’s perfect. Keep the sparks flying buddy 👍🏻.
Thanks a lot man appreciate it!
I love your idea about using a tube with a 1/4" hole as a guide for the hole saw, shame about using the wrong size. I've used a piece of plywood in the past to give me a center for the hole saw when enlarging the holes in the strut towers on our race MINI.
Sick
Whatever you design and make seems so simple, sleek and beautifully functional. It’s mighty impressive.
I just read a lot of your comments you have gotten before me and I have nothing to add that as not already been said so thank you for your videos and attention to detail it all keeps me very entertained. Me I like the banjo steering wheels Not sure I care what car they go in cause I really like the wheel, you asked for it I gave it
Really cool that you still commented to help me out it really does help and I appreciate you and I’m happy that you are enjoying the videos! Cheers
I think what impresses me most is that I believe I can do or get done a lot of the individual processes, but it is how you can picture the finished product, formulate a plan in a heartbeat, and execute. I know more thinking goes into it off camera, but it is your ability to streamline your work till it looks as easy as a mellow country song. Anyone who knows anything will tell you to do simple well, is probably the hardest as every imperfection will be exaggerated. You do it the best I've ever seen.
Practice! 😂. And being an artist at heart that beats and bends metal?😊. My conclusion long ago…….
Love yourwork
Nice Karl!!!!
I think the wheel fits nicely
That clamp idea is next level,thanks for the lesson
Hi Karl. I'm a new sub. I watched you install the center post dash. I had to sub immediately.
I'm and old guy, retired Tool Maker and fabricator.
I am amazed at what you do for a young guy.
Your' creativity is awesome. Makes me feel proud.
I love what you did with the steering column.
Looking forward to researching more of your' awesome work. You help bring back some of my
confidence in the human race. 👍
I build from scratch, in the 70s, the full sized aircraft pictured in my profile pic. Seven year project on weekends.
In that pic. I'm flying it over the everglades in Florida. As a teenager I also built Rods in the 50s.
Cheers John.
I really like the column mounts wish I had seen this before I did mine , great work .
Hi Karl, I'm an electrician and drill a lot of holes in metal. From sheet metal to half inch wall thickness steel beams . We use good quality drill bits and holesaws then tap a lot of the holes. We use the Drill Doctor to sharpen the split point bits and that really helps. But the one thing that really helps most is to lubricate the bits . The product we use that really makes the biggest difference is Hougen Slick Stick. I don't get kickbacks or anything. This really works wonders. Having to resharpen the drill bit every hole or throw them out, the same with the taps was expensive and killed a lot of time. Give it a try. It was a God send for us.
Nice work, have a great time down under.
For the column clamp: machine a block with the bottom being the OD curve of the clamp tube. Drill and tap for the bolt longways through the center. Center over where you will split the clamp and pipe. Braze block to clamp pipe. Machine slot through block and pipe. Drill out bolt shoulder side of block for socket head cap screw. This way, the clamp block can match the look of the dash. If you want to get super slick you could also fillet the block where it meets the tube so it flows into the clamp. Brazing should be plenty strong for this.
I always enjoy watching this channel
great work looks good!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I definitely enjoy watching your show and I Double definitely learn all the way through it. I love the way you make brackets and so on
I learn that I’ll never have the skill you do- but that’s ok- I can’t do it every day , and with the other stuff I learn watching guys like you , I manage
Looking fantastic dude! Love the Wheel you went with. very excited to see the shift linkage!
Great content again Karl, Well done!
That is super clean and functional, Karl! Man, you are an artisan, my friend.
Thank you very much!
@@MakeItKustom most welcome
love it!
More percussion fabrication Karl. This car is going to be a beauty. Can’t wait to see the Zephyr work again. Maybe after the trip. Thanks for sharing.
💯❤️👊👍
Great job, love it.
Clever stuff dude , I love watching you making stuff from scratch the thought process in the design and the end product always turns out simply amazing. Nice work that cars gonna be pretty damn special ! actually its already beautiful and you’ve not finished it yet lol
Looks very nice and clean 😊😊😊
Thank you 😊
The Zephyr shifter wood be very cool. Lots of classy touches in this Model A.
I dig how this hole dash steering column is turning out. Great work.
Awesome work , looks great
Thank you very much!
always great work
Like the simplicity of the clamp. I normally thread the tube vs a nut that sticks out.
Amazing progress, thanks for the video Karl.
Those 40 Ford steering wheels are the best.
Nice work. Might mention in next vid that Speedway Motors sells a Vega power steering box that mounts exactly like the manual unit. Only need to change out the Pittman arm. Upgraded this on my 31 Ford Tudor. Works like a champ for around $300.
Should have made this extremely unique and gone with RIGHT hand drive! Would have been so cool!
I used a connecting rod from a 400 SBC engine to hang my column in my 38 ford. Always get people noticing it lol
