Dude, just when I think you've shown me something I never thought of, you show me ten more things I never thought of. I told you, this knowledge you are sharing is priceless.
Really enjoying this series Mike. This is like real Ol skool hot rodding body work, with a what's the worst that can happen attitude. Thank you for the content, Man.
Weird Beard ingenuity never ceases to amaze, he finds a solution and answers the bell to all the building problems he faces. Thank you for the video Weird Beard.
The answers to challenges are always there if we just know what we want in the first place and work with what we have. Thanks for another excellent video Mr Beard. Looking forward to the next one.
Great idea! It’s like a half body drop and you don’t lose any of the foot/pedal room in the front of the cab. Love this channel coming out of San Diego, CA
I can see this truck becoming like a channel mascot, feature it in a channel intro lowriding. Maybe take the channel in a budget/custom lowriding direction.
Really starting to see how cool this is going to be. I was thinking leave the bed where it's at and extend the cab back to meet it like an S10. It would be a TON of work but...
Mike it’s amazing how you’re able to visualize how to lower this cab where you need it. To make the bed work. Great fabrication buddy. Your always see things that we can’t. You da man! Thanks for sharing your work. 💯👍👊
Very interesting and clever solution to the body mount problem! Moving that tank to the rear would be a massive safety improvement. I know someone whom was t-boned in one of those trucks with the tank behind the seat. Third degree burns over 60% of her body and years of painful reconstructive plastic surgery. I never miss your videos and always hit the like button before I watch it because I know it’s going to be a great watch!
You were right. I was like what the hell is he doing. Then I saw it all come together and that was pretty slick! I like the direction you are taking this build. Keep up the good work bro!
I know it's sheet metal and if you mess up, you can just weld it back and try again. But I was still sweatin' a bit when you were making those cuts. Great job!
Great tips on using the burr and drill bit to clean up the panels for welding. Definitely using those tricks. I really like all of the out of the box ideas you’ve shared with us.
Looking good. I really like the way you dropped the cab. But just an idea cutting the raised floor part out and taking the floor straight across . Would've given extra storage space under the seat. Also you know how some mini vans have that latch mechanism on seats to tilt the seat forward. That would be awesome on that bench seat. Tilt bench seat for storage.
Happy Thursday afternoon Mike! Coming together step by step. Have never seen this done quite this way before. Was bounced off your channel one more time, but I’m back! WELL DONE MIKE! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
WB you are a genius! I was trying to conceptualize your plan and totally baffled until the end result. It just fell into place, totally awesome results. Excellent content!
Beard I got to tell you that I appreciate you doing the videos. It is so hard to find something to relax and watch on tv that isn’t vulgar or that you can’t watch with your family. Some would probably call me a fan boy with this comment but that is there choice I just know what I do and don’t want my teen age daughter exposed to by me.
Pretty neat way to get the cab down WB!! Was a little worried because the front clip was still on -- I guess it's only supported in the very front at the radiator cradle?
Nice solution... you may have to raise the brackets for your fuel tank straps in order for the tank to fit... that is... if you are keeping that location for the fuel tank.
Got to say WB you are one brave man and clever with it! You completed the part of that conversion that the people who did it forgot to do. "I'll just cut the floor and back panel!" While slamming cars isn't my thing I have to say if this turns out as well as the Fury its going to be sweet. But maybe not SO low it can't be used as a work truck. Right? 😂😂
I just didn't see how you were going to make that work...until you did. If you put the gas tank between the rails in the rear, it would be nice if you put the fill spout behind hinged license plate like a lot of the cars did back then. That way, it wouldn't look strange having two fill spouts.
Hey Mike, this truck has been a fascinating project to watch (other than the paint which I'm not keen on but it's your truck). For us long time subscribers how about an update video on the the Datsun pickup project, and why the 59 Coronet never seems to make it to the finish line? I figure you'd make some real $$ once it's done and sold.
Wierd Beard buddy with the body work genius. Again I never take vacations but if you need shop Stewart next year I'd tent in back yard and can paye off in toaster shakins if you want. I'd love to learn some of that body modification skills. Love the video and God bless
A clever way to solve the problem. Was thinking you've have to go a head and modify the frame when you showed the issue. Looking forwards to see the frame shortened and the bed painted. Truck gonna look awesome when it's done. Just bummed you're not the one to keep it.
Amazing work. But I've come to expect nothing less from you. You're a freakin' artist brah. I just wish you'd have shown how you got the exact outline on that piece of metal to cut it out so perfectly. And when are you gonna finish up that coronet?
Man i love it. You ahd my sub as " I painted my truck" in stead of that lazy and ugly "petina" crap going on. I'm rather interested in how you figured all this out on lowering it. Cutting the triangle etc. Brilliant. I have never customized this much before but I have major plans to, soon i hope.
Still on board, Beard. Short, wide, and low. I have 10x more fun rebuilding hacked-together projects than I do restoring rare/valuable items to factory condition.

Sweet rig. Novel way to widen the bed and you should set a dedicated channel to the pickup😊😊😊

OK mike that blew my mind. I want sure what you were doing, but that was slick
At first I couldn't understand it and then all of a sudden it hit me. Absolutely simplicity but genius. It's absolutely the perfect thing to do
You had me scared at first but that worked out great. Awesome job.
Man, I couldn't see it till you cut it and lowered it. Very nice!
The answers to challenges are always there if we just know what we want in the first place and work with what we have. Thanks for another excellent video Mr Beard. Looking forward to the next one.
Looking good Beard. As for the video length, I could watch you work for hours, it is a pleasure. 👍👍👍👍👍
I always enjoy you calm and confident approach to your projects. thanks for the excellent content!
Good job, Mike. Of all the ways to solve that problem I think you thought of the simplest.😮
Killer update and problem solving!Love where this is going!I can't wait to see the finished truck.Really enjoy your content!
Great idea! It’s like a half body drop and you don’t lose any of the foot/pedal room in the front of the cab. Love this channel coming out of San Diego, CA
You're the professor never doubted you one bit
I must admit you had me scared when you ventured into that. Never should have doubted! Ha ha! Great job. 😂
As someone with a lifelong interest automotive stuff, your videos fulfill my desire to learn. Keep 'em coming!
That's a pretty damn elegant solution. You are an artist my friend!!! Keep up the great work.
I can see this truck becoming like a channel mascot, feature it in a channel intro lowriding. Maybe take the channel in a budget/custom lowriding direction.
Still digging this series! Great content Mike!
Really starting to see how cool this is going to be. I was thinking leave the bed where it's at and extend the cab back to meet it like an S10. It would be a TON of work but...
Hellow Mike good luck buddy the truck looks great
This custom job is very exciting. Can’t wait for the next video. Best Wishes. Your work is amazing.
WB . . . pretty slick brother! I'm sure there were several ways to solve the dilemma - - and your solution was awesome man!
Mike it’s amazing how you’re able to visualize how to lower this cab where you need it. To make the bed work. Great fabrication buddy. Your always see things that we can’t. You da man! Thanks for sharing your work.

You were right. I was like what the hell is he doing. Then I saw it all come together and that was pretty slick! I like the direction you are taking this build. Keep up the good work bro!
I think its gonna look way cool when done...
I noticed your subscriber #'s jumped up lately..
Glad to see it.
I know it's sheet metal and if you mess up, you can just weld it back and try again. But I was still sweatin' a bit when you were making those cuts. Great job!
As a mechanic not a body guy I have to say you had me baffled right up to the point where you let the jacks down lol.
Ingenious work for a Blanchard fella.
Great tips on using the burr and drill bit to clean up the panels for welding. Definitely using those tricks. I really like all of the out of the box ideas you’ve shared with us.
Brilliant solution. Simply brilliant. I never would have thought of that.
You're pretty damned smart Weird!, Always look forward to your content. You're a very innovative guy.

Nice job Mike, she's looking good. 👌 Anxious to see more of this build. Take care and stay safe. 👍

Doing a great job little brother. Keep explaining everything and keep doing what you are doing
Cool stuff. This is a great project to watch. Keep up the videos!
Weird Beard ! cuz thats the way we roll ...son !! keep rocking these vids ..😎😎
WB you are a genius! I was trying to conceptualize your plan and totally baffled until the end result. It just fell into place, totally awesome results. Excellent content!
your doing a great job Mike, keep it up 👍
You're right, I didn't know what you were doing, but that was a decent plan.
Yes don't bother putting the tank back in the cab. Also you'll have more leg room! Good fix man!
Lot safer as well. How did manufacturers ever get away with putting a fuel tank INSIDE?
Should see where it was in the 20’s!👀
Id go with a 16 gallon beer keg in the bed for a fuel tank. A nice heavy stainless tank for cheap.
Use a gussetted😅😅 diamond plate step for the rear. Frame
@@DanzigDementothe cowl?????
Doing some work brother 💪💪💪
Another great video with amazing results,thanks.When i relocated the gas tank in my 62 the filler became a windshield wash fill
Mam, I love what you got going on with this truck , I see your vision on this , can't wait to see it done !!

Some would probably call me a fan boy with this comment but that is there choice I just know what I do and don’t want my teen age daughter exposed to by me.
Huge difference, truck looks normal. I like this series.
Great video, didn’t think lowering that cab would be (at least look) so easy 🤗
westport wa.state here.
vary good show sir.
thank you and GOD bless.
Great job dude you are truly talented.
I thought at first you had lost your mind but when you started cutting it became clear
Too cool, nice job WB!
Thanks for addressing the gas tank issue. Was wondering about that once you dropped the cab.
Enjoying the work on this old truck man!! Classics are where my heart is. Just wondering when you may get back on the coronet?
Great job weird beard, it's looking really good keep up the good work
Enjoying the frequent uploads.
Good job, Mike!👍🍻
Any FURY update?
No rush, just waiting patiently. 😉
Great stuff WB. Loving the regular updates
Lovin' it! Can't wait for the next video.
Looking real good buddy. When i did a simular cab drop i just raised the raised back part of the flor to get the cab over the frame.
I’m a new subscriber and I really enjoy what you’re doing with this old truck
Glad to hear that. Thanks for subscribing.
Thanks WB. Man I enjoy your content. Keep it coming

AWESOME This a One of A Kind. You are a Magician!!
Perfect. Cut and. Lower. Right on. Thanks
I enjoy the great work! This is an awesome build!!

Hey Mike I love the truck u do amazing work huge fan keep up the great channel fan from Canada

@@weirdbeard8898 another question people are going to ask when are auction walk around and flip cars coming back
Hey! Who said it wasnt gonna look good! Its coming along just fine!
Love this project ! Like to see you finish the 59 Dodge some day though.
Beard, you are an artist !!!
That's some great engineering going on right there.
Awesome filming Mike!!
I'm loving the truck build, Hell Yeah 👍

Looking good you amaze me every time
Looking heaps better sitting level. Nice job
good stuff, looking forward to seeing the fury again
You and me both!
Great job! Only issue I see is lining up the filler neck with the gas tank 2" higher.
Nice one Mike,hi from Australia
Good job ... !! .. I am watching till the end ... !!!
Nice work as usual WB !

Love me some new weird beard videos! Having a shit day so thanks bro
It’ll get better
@@weirdbeard8898 Thanks bro
Looks great man, dig it👍
Glad you like it
I really enjoy this channel very skilful
Amazing work. But I've come to expect nothing less from you. You're a freakin' artist brah. I just wish you'd have shown how you got the exact outline on that piece of metal to cut it out so perfectly. And when are you gonna finish up that coronet?
You got it going on! Looks good!
Loving the truck build and the Fury is cool too, also looking forward to seeing more of Darlene but what about the CORONET???
This is good stuff, WB!
Man i love it. You ahd my sub as " I painted my truck" in stead of that lazy and ugly "petina" crap going on. I'm rather interested in how you figured all this out on lowering it. Cutting the triangle etc. Brilliant. I have never customized this much before but I have major plans to, soon i hope.

Wow that's really interesting, thank you for informing us .
Looking alot better smart move.
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely brilliant
