Probably one of the most talented and professional fabricators I have watched. I would go to your classes if I were close enough too. Learn alot just watching. Thanks for a great show!
Amazing production Karl. Your fabrication and engineering skills are second to none. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Many thanks for sharing your skills, all he lessons and the long time video editing you both do.
I'm an old "wrencher", can't crawl around vehicles anymore but really enjoy watching Karl's format and excellent workmanship. Keep it coming and continued success for this excellent program!
David, I am in the same “Old Wrench” category but fitting R elbow and Lumbar issues. We can do the same things but it takes longer, then pay for it in pain. I does my heart good to see some younger people like Karl, jump into the fabrication world with both feet. I had no shop in high school but was learning, watching and asking questions as a kid at a small town repair shop, until they run me off. I had no family member that had skills past changing oil, but working for neighboring farmers, found old lawnmowers they gave me. Take two and make one run. Hay in the barn for the old brothers 5 miles away paid $0.03 cents per bale, but a $1 dollar in town to mow a yard. Much quicker with a gas lawnmower = more money. I have two sons, one 40, they other 35. The youngest takes his 80’s car apart but can’t put them together or do wiring. I am building a 67 Chevy C10 for my self and enjoy watching and getting ideas. Wish I had a garage or shop but don’t. What could you have done if you have this room, equipment and todays electronics coupled with a plasma cutter? I have so many questions to catch up to the aftermarket parts I can afford but 03 Tahoe 5.3L with 87 era 700R4 I build last winter with hood parts. Built to handle 600+ HP will last years behind a stock EFI engine with headers and torque range and few important modifications but only 400 HP (+/-) should last me years with regular maintenance and mostly stock GM parts as my service manual grows with the build. Photos, part numbers, connector locations, diagnostic flow chart and Tech-2 used. Be of luck! Best of Health! DK, Omaha
More than anything I like the way this channel inspires! Watching keeps me inspired to carry on with my projects and work through challenges in new ways.
Who woulda thunk tranny and motor mounts could be so classy. Nice work. Good to see what your wonderful mind and magic hands can create. Thanks for sharing...
Yuppers, another amazing video! Could watch this all day and your way of explaining your thought process as you build/fabricate is just spot on. Thank you. Keep moving forward!
Because of his talent so truly said, but man Carl has an arsenal of great machines as well, some of the flanges he has made were difficult, but best part he showed how to make those complex things using simplest hand tools!!!! 👍👍
@@Yaman-D-Chhaya yeah, that is exactly why I enjoy watching him. I'm sixty years old and understand that he has the latest technology available but he could do great work without it. He definitely has a talent for fabrication.
@@chriscoker7794 So cool to know you Chris, they say if you love something that love for anything makes you dig deep, Carl has exceptional talent and very fine skills plus I would add a clear vision which Carl has what exactly he wants and how!! Coz very less stuff that he does would get some stock parts, majorly he needs to build all from scratch that's so awesome, seriously great to meet you and know you Chris, love and very warm regards from India 🙏🙏👍👍
That is really nice design and workmanship! If header fitting turns out to be a problem, you can get the kits with angled segments in stainless, and TIG or braze the segments to fit as needed.
You make it look so easy. But I know there is a lot of time and thought put into it.. Plus you have done the work before on other projects.. Please keep doing videos. I'm learning so much! Thank you
When I was a kid I mounted a rambler 290 in a 1959 international pickup and for motor mounts I Just slid the bell housing mount ahead and the original rambler mounts dropped into the same holes, the easiest swap in my whole life. 😀. Love your work.
mid 60's Studebakers with factory installed Chevy engines use a cast motor mount that's perfect for custom installations. Love your videos, I've learned quite a bit already in the few I've watched.
Love watching the CAD work and seeing you put the paper template against the monitor! I've been a proponent of that sort of 'paper doll' method in fabrication for many years. Great minds think alike.
You never cease to amaze me, yet another great Episode! I really need to make a cnc plasma. So many things to do with it! As always, keep up the great work and can't wait till the next!
It is so interesting to listen to Karl describe his thought processes. He is a better engineer and problem solver than the majority of the professional engineers I have worked with. Christina does a super job making the videos. I love the choices of music.
I love how the white wall tire looks on that mini car . The Caddy is coming out nice & that engine looks like it's going to be a great running engine for the Caddy. Keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families.
Love to see all the figuring the details and watching how it all came to fruition. This cars going to be awesome. So nice too see it getting ready for the wife and the road. Larry McCormick
Can't wait to see the caddy done I love the looks of Cadillac cars (the older ones) that's all my grandfather owned when I was a kid my favorite one he had was his 66 with pearl white interior and a blue paint on the outside
Karl, I have never seen this Ford mount but cool. The Saginaw power steering pump is a steel shell and return fluid pressure is like 8-10 PSI. It can be heated, bent or welded. Note; Place an inline fuel filter to catch debris for pump first and box second. I place a rare earth magnet on the bottom and wrap it using zip ties or electric tape. Place a dab of black weather strip adhesive on the end of tape and will never come apart. This pump wear is what turns p/s fluid dark, filters help! What type of paint is used on the engine? High heat over primer doesn’t come in that color! Cool. Retired ASE master tech.
Another person here to compliment both your work, and how well you explain and articulate the process. You make things look so effortless, and are really demystifying car modification, IMO. Not that I could make the same result, but I feel more and more confident taking on related projects as I watch each of your vids. Keep up the great work!
Karl, love the way you express your thought process. Your talent is amazing. I noticed in the Caddy you were reusing the steering box. You can go to a modern version which is a combination of the valving from a rack and pinion mounted to the housing like you have. Much better response and feel. Currently used in NASCAR. This 670 gear is made by the same mfg as the older one. Contact CJR products in North Carolina and they can fix you up
You and Bello's Kustoms, really know your way around that computer. Super clean job. Wish i would have watched this before slipping the motor in my '56 Olds. Makes me want to tear it back out and start all over again. JT: Orlando, FLA
there is nothing wrong with over building parts. The alternative is under building and people get hurt or die. A great pattern is look closely at factory parts and use their example. I did that for years and always went up by at least one gauge on most fixtures if using mild steel. I am impressed by the use of the CAD and the quality of the finished work; sure beats the hell of the old torch and grinder. Keep having fun young man and you will keep producing great videos.
I often wonder how many views you get from people clicking on the Make It Kustom MIX button, just for the music tracks. I do at least a couple of times a week. Kudos to whoever mixes this for you. NOT to say I don't WATCH the new episodes, but when waiting on new ones I love listening to you in the background. Thanks Karl.
I just found your channel. I like making shit, and I'm always looking for ideas. Great videos, and really informative. Also I like how you don't beg the viewer to subscribe at the beginning. You wait until the end, when the viewer will know whether or not he's interested. No BS, and I appreciate that.
Another really nice job! I’m lucky that I can remove my pickup cab, or set it back in place, by myself with just a shop crane/engine lift. I used your “other” preferred motor mounts with the urethane bushings and a through bolt to position frame mounts on 2x2 square tubing to mount my LS in a ‘71 C10 frame. Your advice on precise location applied in my case as well with the LS swap headers. I have minimal clearance but with the relatively solid bushing mounts, it should work well. Your SBC to Caddy frame mounts are just beautiful! Thanks for showing us the process.
Looking good man! Funny we both accomplished the same job using the same mounts on two polar opposite builds! They work for everything people! Looks great man! See you in two weeks
I like that transmission mount that is cool the block mounts you made looks like the mounts we use on super late model stock car nice job on the motor mounts. Have a good day
I think that the term "screwed up" could be replaced with "I spent more time on R and D than I planned". I love your work, thanks again. I was hoping that we would meet your Mum and Dad when you went to pick up the engine.
You never cease to inspire me Karl, especially finding out you’re a fellow over killer!! Love seeing your projects coming together! Keep on keeping on bro!!
Like all the gold. Nice work with the engine placement. Vintage Air ...... after all you gave your suspension air ...... ladies like air too. It would be cool to do step-down floors Ala the '49 Hudson. The ""X" frame is perfect for that. I would run coated headers for maximum torque. Always a marvelous day to see your ideas come to life.
Once again, nice fabrication, tastefully done. Timely as I was considering using the donut style engine mounts to install a SBF back in my 50 Ford F47 truck. I am toying with putting a Flathead 8 back in at some point so I am roughing in for both engines now.
As always you put up such great content. Cant wait to see what is in store with the new videos. Care to share where and what the part numbers are for the poly and puck style engine mounts? Keep up the great work!
Probably one of the most talented and professional fabricators I have watched. I would go to your classes if I were close enough too. Learn alot just watching. Thanks for a great show!
He has classes?
Thanks so much for the kind words ! Cheers!
I love your thought process. I would have over complicated the engine mounts. You did them so simple and clean
Karl, you make this old man smile every video. Thank you for being so positive and showing us your talent. Excellent work, as usual!
Looks so simple and easy. Owning cnc-plasma definetly helps a lot
Karl would remind you that just about anything can be done with a torch...😁
Yeah, even with angle grinder and hand drill. But... 😁
I used to do it all by hand haha but ya the Cnc makes it faster for aure

I definatly like the cardboard template being held up to the screen. What a great idea sir.
Yuppers, another amazing video! Could watch this all day and your way of explaining your thought process as you build/fabricate is just spot on. Thank you. Keep moving forward!
Always enjoy watching your work, you just make fabricating look easy because of your talent. Great work and thank you for the videos.👍👍👍

BRILLIANT. Billy J... Queensland, Australia
For me, the best thing on TH-cam right now. Thank You
The nice part about having a plasma table at your disposal is that you can make slotted holes for imperfect alignment.
That trans mount looks great!
Absolutely my favourite fabricator/content provider on TH-cam. Always look forward to your posts
Thanks man I appreciate it!

I love watching a pro do a job! Thanks…
Love seeing progress on the Caddy!
Love watching the CAD work and seeing you put the paper template against the monitor! I've been a proponent of that sort of 'paper doll' method in fabrication for many years. Great minds think alike.
It is funny how well it works 😂
Nice mounts, really clever! You mentioned that you over build everything but stronger is always better than parts failing. Nice job!
You never cease to amaze me, yet another great Episode! I really need to make a cnc plasma. So many things to do with it! As always, keep up the great work and can't wait till the next!
You make it look so easy Karl.
DUDE!! Amazing transmission mounts.
Thanks for the Amazing content
Donnie
Outstanding!! Not a cnc guy, all my stuff is cut freehand ,still gets the job done. Engine looks great on the chassis.
Yea all this would have been done freehand a year ago lol. I’m spoiled now 😆
Again, as always ... super work Karl !
Hi Karl and Kristina. That motor is looking good in there and cant wait to see it and the chassis and body hung.
It is so interesting to listen to Karl describe his thought processes. He is a better engineer and problem solver than the majority of the professional engineers I have worked with.
Christina does a super job making the videos. I love the choices of music.
just flying at it thanks for giving me ambition started on the step notch in my 64 f100
Once again another great job , so clean and simple.
Your videos inspire me to do out of the ordinary things on my projects and for that I am grateful!! Your a Badass!
Love your work on the baby Buick. Eager to see the finished product. It’s gonna be a head turner.
Yes those motor mounts make so much sense!
I love how the white wall tire looks on that mini car . The Caddy is coming out nice & that engine looks like it's going to be a great running engine for the Caddy. Keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families.
Love to see all the figuring the details and watching how it all came to fruition. This cars going to be awesome. So nice too see it getting ready for the wife and the road. Larry McCormick
Simplest design is always the most beautiful, well done Karl!
Came out awesome..!!! Killer work as usual Karl.
Can't wait to see the caddy done I love the looks of Cadillac cars (the older ones) that's all my grandfather owned when I was a kid my favorite one he had was his 66 with pearl white interior and a blue paint on the outside
I enjoy watching and learning. Thanks for what you do. Awesome!

Yup them biscuit mounts are brilliant flathead of course lol great video Karl as normal....Jamie from Scotland 👌👌👌
That trans mount looks solid enough 😂🤣 pretty to 🥰 love the break press 😎 what a find.
Karl, love the way you express your thought process. Your talent is amazing. I noticed in the Caddy you were reusing the steering box.

Really nice job, you’re top class at this stuff.
Awesome Truck, I appreciate all your mental crafting
Man I like your show you are one of the smartest guys I've seen in what you do great job my man!!!👍
Tight. Just the way we like it. 😸😸
You and Bello's Kustoms, really know your way around that computer. Super clean job. Wish i would have watched this before slipping the motor in my '56 Olds. Makes me want to tear it back out and start all over again.

Hey Carl,
The "trick" for the tranny is; zip-tie a rubber glove over the open tailshaft.
Great work Karl, as always!

Damn, nice to have friends that do things with you. Don't seem to have, but couple of them . Still none that hang out like yours. Great videos
Awesome video, those mounts look very cool!!

I love those donuts, I used them on my build. That’s a lot of flake on that engine.👍🏻
That's a good idea with the paper pattern and Cad no measuring.👍
You make it look so easy.
You do make and install it all beautifully Karl, it’s very impressive.
simple ,clean and looks great couldnt ask for anything else , great job
So clean. Great content.

Good content Karl, good progress. Looking forward to watching the body swap.
Jay the Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 👨🔧MiK
Oooo. I like those mounts. Nice work as always.
Looking good man! Funny we both accomplished the same job using the same mounts on two polar opposite builds! They work for everything people! Looks great man! See you in two weeks
Hahah totally man! Thanks 🙏 can’t wait jordan I’ll see ya soon 👊👊👊
You got a lot done in this episode. That burn table is handier than a shirt pocket for making custom shit. Go man go!
Top Job Maestro
You are such an artist!!!!!!
Love your videos keep up the good work
I like that transmission mount that is cool the block mounts you made looks like the mounts we use on super late model stock car nice job on the motor mounts. Have a good day
I saw the casting numbers, you got a 4 bolt block. Good choice, I have the same.
A young man with so much talent 👏brill
Another great video. Your explanation of how to take everything into account is fantastic. Beautiful yet strong fabrication. Awesome.
Engine and the tranny mounts are pretty clean Karl looks good. Ready for your next video😃.
Always learn something from your videos. Thank you.
Wow. Such artwork!!
Good Job Karl, coming along nicely
Great work as usual, id like to see more tutorials on the CNC
I think that the term "screwed up" could be replaced with "I spent more time on R and D than I planned". I love your work, thanks again. I was hoping that we would meet your Mum and Dad when you went to pick up the engine.
I’ll make sure that happens one of these days
Great fabrication skills Karl. A joy to watch.
had a Hodaka Super Rat back in the day. So cool to see that … haven’t thought of that name in a long long time. 🤘🤠🤘
You never cease to inspire me Karl, especially finding out you’re a fellow over killer!! Love seeing your projects coming together! Keep on keeping on bro!!
Can’t wait to see that caddy laying on the new frame
`love those motor mounts...used them on my 51 shoebox great video
Great show Great luck on the motor, that would never happen to me. The car is going to be such a joy to drive
Some great fabricating skills Karl.
