I loved the lessons in this one. I watch another Canadian youtuber who is constantly annoyed by internet expert suggestions and feels constantly criticized. I have given him this simple advice. His car, his money and his preference. If you take every suggestion on the internet you'll never enjoy and appreciate what your doing. There is a saying..."Opinions are like @&& holes everybody has one. Heads up my friend you are making progress and I think this is going to be awesome. If you like it I'm happy for you. Thanks for letting us in your shop.
I also watched the other,. Have since unsubscribed. He didn't and doesn't take to well to others input whether it be good or not. He encouraged watchers to leave a comment, then called the input foolish, weird other other. Always advising ways to save time, yet he usually lost more time through his foolish approach and attitude.
A friend of mine uses a portable spray booth to do his sanding. when done all the dust is self contained inside the booth. I'm not talking the blow up ones, they scatter the dust because of the fan, I mean the ones you wrap in plastic. You can make one from metal poles or from PVC pipe.
Sounds like pvc is a good idea. It could easily be made to disassemble and store when not in use. Cleaning that large shop of his would be a nightmare to clean every time he’s doing body work. The dust from that stuff gets into everything. I’ll bet if you clean the booth well enough you could even spray your primer in it
Any project has moments of painful frustration. It’s why I don’t do much. But you’ve got to admire how Brent gets thru these “mired in disgust” days. He always bounces back and gets it done. 😊👍👍
You're getting there, Brent. Doubtful anyone really loves bodywork,even weirdos. For the viewers who complain about the boring sanding and repetitive welding, I'll remind you there's a back button and an off button free to use on TH-cam. As for me , I'd have a cold one with Brent and watch paint dry🍺👍
Body work sucks! Well it's rewarding in the end. Brent don't feel bad making video's on you just sanding etc. Keep in mind that there is a large amount of people out there that have unanswered questions about what they run into when doing bodywork etc. And there might be an answer for them or technic answer in there or overall they learn something they shouldn't do😂. I definitely wanna meet you in person someday and shake your hand and applaud you for what you do and share with the world. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share and talk to us about your plans etc. Don't ever be discouraged, your teaching/learning at the same time. Thats all that matters. Cheers from the great state of Ohio.
Sometimes you just need a break from certain tasks. Especially is it not something you enjoy doing. The grey DOES look really good on camera though😊 and GREY MATTERs! Thanks again for sharing your Shop Time with us.👍👍❤
2 tips..make sure you plug the airways in your gun when putting in the gunwash,the gun wash fluid eats your air seals,, and put a small bit of coloured paint,blue red...into the last coat of primer..acts as a handy guide coat..
That’s one problem with having a nice big shop to work in Brent, cleaning the place including the friggin walls. You have an incredible shop Brent, it’s just too bad it had to have the old memories lost to get it. Your attitude is wonderful. Keep up the great work Brent.
As long as the results satisfice you, the rest doesn't matter ! to much perfection kills perfection... And seeing you work this car is a learning lesson for me, I never thought that it took that much work to have a nice body with out bumps, ha ha ha ! Very nice job Brent thx for what you share
I know how your feeling with some aspects of building things, there's stuff that just seems to take so long. But if you don't take the time the mistakes are shown in the end product and you end up fixing later, so do it right and once no matter how long! You'll be happy in the end admiring and enjoying what you have accomplished.👌
Brother, that truck is looking amazing. Fun following your progress as usual. Seeing it all in one color really shows off the beauty of this creation. I cant wait to see it in paint and the bed cover on.
I think the remedy to your body preparation horrors is to give your young helpers the great and generous opportunity to learn bodywork, you’ll finish in no time 😂 I agree with you, it’s much more fun driving than spending precious days sanding Still great progress 👍
We can feel your frustration. But this is such a cool build. You and your family are a huge inspiration to us novice car builders. Every job/car you work on I feel like I learn something new. Just want to let you know that even if you are down, you bring an awful lot of people up. Keep up all the great work.
Free tech tip from the Aerospace industry. When spreading sealant or, in your case glass bondo, a jar of "soapy water" is helpful ... it allows your finger "glide" along when spreading ... same deal when one spreads RTV on your Bathtub seams.
We all appreciate the time you take and not keep us watching paint dry, hee hee, by speeding up your work. I enjoy watching the process you go through and the technique used. Like, share and keep going, can’t wait for the first ride. 😄
Mate I love watching your videos. They're real and honest and we all feel this way at times. I have a 52 Studebaker commander here in Australia that I'm trying to finish and I struggle with the love / hate relationship I have with the car 🤔🤣. Very envious of your skills and knowledge as well as your new setup 🙏. Very grateful Australians here..🙏👍👍
Your truck is turning out nice, it reminds me of the Rod & Custom Dream Truck, that I remember as a kid. As a journeyman glazier and having worked at various glass shops, including auto glass it bothers me that your top of your windshield is not framed. But oh well it’s what you want hopefully no one grabs the top of the glass when getting in with your top off. I guess that could crack the laminated glass. It’s going to be interesting to see how it works out for you. Windshield urethane does wonders gluing the glass in though! I’ve really enjoyed watching you for years and your builds and your trials and tribulations! I’m glad you have a very nice shop to work out of now. Keep up the good work! I’m with yah!
Looking good and frustrating, all at the same time, to me too. Chin up and sandpaper down... it's all "in primer" now! Whether you know it or not, you are an inspiration!!!
Sat here watching you and laughing with you because I feel your pain as I should be in the shop doing the exact same thing lol. Drives me crazy lob on the primer and feel great until it dries and start flatting it and see all the lil pin holes n such that need just a bit more filling and sanding lol
Hello! Thank you for offering yourself! ❤ A larger sanding tent, easy to air out with a fan that transports away the sanding dust and easy to set up and take down.... That way you and many others don't have to clean the whole garage as soon as it comes to sanding! Hello! Thank you for offering yourself!

Once again you reach the point where it stopes being a project and becomes a full on job . Your in the shop doing the work but now you have reached the point where you want to say enough is enough . Athletes reach the point where they can't or don't want to go any further , but to reach the finish they have to push harder and achieve their goal . In the future you will look back on this time and smile , it will seem like nothing when you look at your finished product and say I did it and I'm proud . God Bless you , take a few deep breaths , Stuart in Ontario ..
Hi Brent, love to see the progress on the GMC! It's really coming along nicely, you ought to have a block party! Have all your friends come out and help wet sand it. Pby if you provide the beer ,you'd have all kinds of fun! Quick question, what's up with the back of the cab? Are you planning on painting that spot, or did l miss an episode?? Regardless, l am anxious to see the final results of this. Love the content, things aren't as bad as you think! After all you are building it for you , have a great week, jim
You can get you some sheets of sandpaper and wrap them around a stir stick that you stir your paint with and it makes a great block to block one out with
Ask Puddin about the Sweet Patina. They have a frame spray & a bedliner spray that is Fantastic. You may be able to get a sponsorship from them too to help with your builds. That bed would be nice, with a Sweet Patina Rhino lining & undercoating.That truck is looking Awesome Brent. Tell Esther Hello. Ty for taking us along
I think it looks great Brent and yeah,, I've had the high solids boogers too and they'll sand out just fine, my favorite way to sand curvey bodies is to use a piece of sidewall from a junk tire a stick the paper on it, they follow great and no finger digs
Some people build trailer queens and some people build drivers and even ratrods. I prefer good safe daily drivers that look half decent. You put in the time and it looks good. Lots of creativity. 👌
Sometimes primer gets bits in it if its been allowed to settle out in the tin so you have a load of thick stuff on the bottom of the can. When you mix it back up you are left with bits. That is what probably caused the gun to dribble when a bit of cr@p got stuck in the needle seat. You can also get bits if you are spraying a bit dry, that is the paint drying too much before settling on the bodywork but you seemed to have a good wet look to the freshly laid primer so it didn't look like it was going on dry. Sand it back and get new primer.
Those things happen with spray paint. Progress is what you must aim for. It appears that has happened and it is looking fair and smooth. 240 grit to begin with when you get back to it. It's had enough 180 grit already. As I always reckon, everything is better after a sleep. Really it's better than before you gave it a squirt.
Yep do you own thing! That’s what it is all about. Myself it would have to be good and shinny but that’s me. I like it a lot can’t wait to see it finished. 😀😀👍🏻
Maybe a couple cables and a way to hang heavy poly curtains to aid with containing the dust. I have been using a Dewalt cordless orbital, has a dust collector, which collects some dust,reduces some mess. Also, a mini belt sander will help with some tight spots. And i use my durablocks a lot. Back end of box reminds me of a 71 chevelle, love how its coming together.
I can tell your just wanting to be done with this project that became a chore . It’s looking good and lots of progress make me look forward to the next stage . Keep grinding bud lol
At the end I was feeling it then you said it I was nodding my head yeap I hear that. But Dude Even with globs the damn truck Looks killer. When you put the rear fenders on it really comes together. And all the seams on the front end look really good. it looks so custom NOT halfasss either. Dang Fool. You take care, Thank You D
Nice not to see the rust and stuff anymore. The truck is really looking nice on camera. You can now see the door gaps and things are really moving forward now. Finally in primer 👍 👌
I saw a couple of imperfections, but when I cleaned my screen they were gone. You are welcome! Haha! Can't wait to see it with some paint on it. Take care man!.
No runs and Pablo looks like he’s feeling better? That’s a GREAT day!

Opinions are like *&sholes ...everyone has one ,but everyone thinks their own is special.
Brent, you are absolutely right . This is your truck as long as you’re happy , that’s all that matters . I would buy it.
Don’t lose heart Brent……it’s looking great 👍👍👍🏴

Looking forward to seeing your Painless Wiring install. Great product/company and the Overholsers are good people..
Sometimes you just need a break from certain tasks. Especially is it not something you enjoy doing. The grey DOES look really good on camera though😊 and GREY MATTERs! Thanks again for sharing your Shop Time with us.👍👍❤
I feel the same way, I don't like perfect. I want to enjoy whatever I'm driving. I enjoy your videos, and at 71 I'm still learning! Thanks Brent!

Enjoying your work from 9,000 miles away keep it up ...
Man, that truck is looking A-okay! It will be sweet looking. Keep on trucking.
your happyness is the most inportent
That’s one problem with having a nice big shop to work in Brent, cleaning the place including the friggin walls. You have an incredible shop Brent, it’s just too bad it had to have the old memories lost to get it. Your attitude is wonderful. Keep up the great work Brent.
Do whatever works for you. Wise words from an experienced builder. If you're happy with it, that's ALL that matters.
As long as the results satisfice you, the rest doesn't matter ! to much perfection kills perfection... And seeing you work this car is a learning lesson for me, I never thought that it took that much work to have a nice body with out bumps, ha ha ha ! Very nice job Brent thx for what you share
You are a great guy Brent. I love how you politely & graciously say " All you haters can F.O." :)
Keep doing Your thing!😊
I know how your feeling with some aspects of building things, there's stuff that just seems to take so long. But if you don't take the time the mistakes are shown in the end product and you end up fixing later, so do it right and once no matter how long!

The truck is looking awesome..I would be glad to drive it..just under primer..your hard work is paying off
Know you’re ready to be done with all this body work. But, then again it is pretty old. So, appreciate your hard work. Thank you Brent!
💯👊👍
Strange thing is with projects is that when it’s finished and ready to go you instantly forget all the hard work that’s gone into it. Happy days...
That's what women call pregnancy amnesia😄
Brent really looking cool. Take care friend.
Free tech tip from the Aerospace industry. When spreading sealant or, in your case glass bondo, a jar of "soapy water" is helpful ... it allows your finger "glide" along when spreading ... same deal when one spreads RTV on your Bathtub seams.
It looks fine Brent. Dont be so hard on yourself. Its alot of work.
You’re right, there’s always another day. You have really worked hard on this truck. I’m inspired by your efforts. And I’m enjoying the process.
We all appreciate the time you take and not keep us watching paint dry, hee hee, by speeding up your work.
I enjoy watching the process you go through and the technique used.
Like, share and keep going, can’t wait for the first ride. 😄
Or bondo dry lol
You just have to remember it's worth it in the end.Thats turning out to be an awesome ride!Good job Brent 👍
Brent I like the idea of spray on bedlinner for one it would probably cover all of your welds and gaps and maybe even the colour you might even use!
Mate I love watching your videos. They're real and honest and we all feel this way at times. I have a 52 Studebaker commander here in Australia that I'm trying to finish and I struggle with the love / hate relationship I have with the car 🤔🤣. Very envious of your skills and knowledge as well as your new setup 🙏. Very grateful Australians here..🙏👍👍
There is a god. Having a crap day and Halfass comes on to save it! Thanks.
Some times things are drudgery, but that's what paint prep is sometimes. After that the fun begins!

Looking good and frustrating, all at the same time, to me too. Chin up and sandpaper down... it's all "in primer" now! Whether you know it or not, you are an inspiration!!!

Sat here watching you and laughing with you because I feel your pain as I should be in the shop doing the exact same thing lol. Drives me crazy lob on the primer and feel great until it dries and start flatting it and see all the lil pin holes n such that need just a bit more filling and sanding lol
Very non-chalant. Really like a enjoy the man's approach. Eger beaver, he sure does put a lot of effort into his projects.
It'll be fine Brent!😊
You're doing a great job on this Kustom ute, Cobber.
Thank you for pushing through.
Enjoy your day.

Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Later ...
The only problem with a truck--there is a lot of acreage to massage to get it in paint! Keep sanding Brent, you're almost there!🌫

Chin up dude💚🇬🇧🌱 I'm feeling your pain, bodywork does indeed take a special kind of patience...
Murphy is never too far away and he sometimes visits for far too long! It looks great from our end, Brett! Way to power through the rough times!
As long as you are happy with it. it is perfect and when it is done drive it the way you want to nice job.
A cold beer a good nites sleep and everything will be fine ,
It’s Looking great !! Thanks for another , Brother !
Great progress Brent, she's coming together very well. Take care and stay safe 👍
Brent,
Look into linear sanding blocks for those times when sanding curved surfaces
Yep do you own thing! That’s what it is all about. Myself it would have to be good and shinny but that’s me. I like it a lot can’t wait to see it finished. 😀😀👍🏻
That thing is gorgeous,going to ba a real head turner! Nicely done
Great work Brent!! Annoying but you made it through and thanks im heading out to the garage to do some more body work on my project!!!
Milwaukee leaf blowers for the win! (wind)!!🙃that dust doesnt stand a chance thanks for the videos always love your builds!!!
Brent have Ester help sanding. Id watch the two of you and your shenanigans
I'm glad you got the forklift.its very handy.love your show.thank you.
Hang in there buddy, it'll block sand out nice enough to paint, you're on the home stretch
You got a lot further, nice going, Brent
Maybe a couple cables and a way to hang heavy poly curtains to aid with containing the dust.
I have been using a Dewalt cordless orbital, has a dust collector, which collects some dust,reduces some mess.
Also, a mini belt sander will help with some tight spots. And i use my durablocks a lot.
Back end of box reminds me of a 71 chevelle, love how its coming together.
The bed looks awesome in primer. Progress. Thanks Brent.
Some proper sculpture going on there💚🇬🇧🌱 I'm nearly done with filler work myself, hoping to prime the VW today🤞
It actually looked awesome shiny when you was spraying
It was nice visiting with you and I like your colour choice for the truck too bad it was too early for beers lol
I can tell your just wanting to be done with this project that became a chore . It’s looking good and lots of progress make me look forward to the next stage . Keep grinding bud lol
I am excited to see what color it is going to be
No Runs That's a win 😀💯 looking great Thanks for sharing
Those white walls set it off sir ! Can’t wait to see them cleaned up withe bed on and all one color ! Lookin mad fabulous sir !!! 💯💯💯
It's looking better every day now!
Looking mint there Brent
Call the primer pin hole plugger. Looks great!
Hey Brent great job. I only have a 2 1/2 car garage. I usually hang a plastic curtain up to try to limit the mess that I make.
You mentioned burn out on the truck. Take a little time off and work on the Buick, love that Buick. ❤️❤️
You are the Leonardo da Vinci of car building
Thank you very much for the hard work and let us see it to 😀
Brett prime bed inside tens and and put Raptor spray bed liner , that stuff like a rock
Congrats on the sponsor.
At the end I was feeling it then you said it I was nodding my head yeap I hear that. But Dude Even with globs the damn truck Looks killer. When you put the rear fenders on it really comes together. And all the seams on the front end look really good. it looks so custom NOT halfasss either. Dang Fool. You take care, Thank You D
Nice not to see the rust and stuff anymore. The truck is really looking nice on camera. You can now see the door gaps and things are really moving forward now. Finally in primer 👍 👌
I saw a couple of imperfections, but when I cleaned my screen they were gone. You are welcome! Haha! Can't wait to see it with some paint on it. Take care man!.
Ull luv the paineless wiring, did my 48 trk, 22 yrs ago.fast,easy, simple,well marked, never a problem
