I really enjoy your videos and all that you do! I laugh at the humor that you inject from time to time with your dancing, your "tutorial" voice and especially your expertise! You're the greatest and I'd like to visit your shop someday when I'm in San Diego! Greetings from western Colorado! 😊
UNLIKE MOST OTHER SHOPS - WHEN YOU CONSIGN WITH MIKE NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL THE BUILD, OR JOB. MIKE'S FINGERPRINTS ARE ALL OVER "THE WORK".... THE MAN IS THE "MICHELANGELO" OF CUSTOM CARS, AND THE FACT THAT HE INVITES US TO WATCH IS TRUELY A GIFT...!
Oh yeah waking up on Sunday Morning to Bellos video I your inbox is like finding a 20 spot in your pocket after the wash, or sitting down amd the meal is waiting for you at the table where it wasn't when you left. So true the videos provide so much more than just one single thing..to some it's a lesson...to some it's an escape...but to all its a chance to sit and appreciate a person displaying all the traits that we want tonsee in ourselves. Keep up the hard work Mike...time to get crackalacking and tilt Santa Maria on its side once more! We all are geared up to watch "The Big Cruise" of the year! No rest f0r the wicked homie...keep up the good work!
The best is when the raw emotion of a master craftsman elicits a "whoo" or "ta-da"... in self appreciation of his work, You Know, you have the best job done that you can have.
Hats off to Mike for letting all of us watch him work his magic😎🙌. Feels like I learn a lot just by watching. Also big ups to the videographer for filming and making these videos.😎🙌. No two ways about it, I love this channel!👌. I only have one question though….what’s for lunch?😂😂😎👍👌
I was watching another TH-cam channel , the guy does cars.....kinda . He was chopping a 41 Chevy and using part of a 40 roof and windows to do it . This guy has a regular TV show too !! Everybody raves about what an artist he is , knows everything , does everything , blah , blah . Anyway , as he was hacking the mess together he made a comment that stuck . He said " You know all those guys that line everything up , do fine cuts and use tig and mig to come up with seemless joints ? I just screw the panels down with tech screws , grind em flat and mud over em " He went on to say " Those guys take a week to chop a top ....I'll have this one done in 5 minutes " . I thought " Yeah , and you use 50 pounds of bondo ....that'll crack and ruin the paint in two years " . Mike Bellos work , when sanded 10-15 years down the line for a change in color , will look better than what was produced at the factory . I didnt leave the guy a comment ...he already knows he's a hack . Truth is , I couldnt do it any better than he does ....that's why I dont do it . Keep up professional work while turning out those gorgeous cars .....with help from Carapilla , Big Mike and Crew . PS I only use names to compliment . If a guys a hack ...his name is left out .
So cool to meet you yesterday at the grand nationals roadster show. I was the one that came up to you at the bench and you told me to”leave a comment, like locochon or something” haha
Yes, I do not think of your videos as tutorial at all, I think of them as "fly-on-the-wall" videos where I get the opportunity to see what's going on in your shop and enjoy the amazing work you do.
Nice work Mike! Big Steve sure has taken the quality of your videos to a new level... I like the previews of the next video. Nice to see Caropila working with you.
This man could make 10 times the money he’d make building cars if he provided classes for people on metal work / car building basics. I know I’d go absolutely. 💯💯💯
The dude from “Make it Custom” does a metal class. I think it’s in Las Vegas. Check out his channel and you should be able to find the information. It would be awesome to see Mike participate in the class as an instructor. Both guys have amazing talent.
The tutorial voice is like one of those cooking shows where a host describes all the things the chef is doing, when the chef could be describing his or her own actions.
SO good. Every video! Just the right formula. The styling of cars, the attitude Mike has and Big Cheese Steve is doing a great job too! I always want more!
Hell yeah Mike came out sick as always...that was funny Big Cheese!! What? Did i just call you Big cheese?!?! Lol ...ahhh, big Steve its all good brother ...keep them videos coming
If it's Sunday it has to be Bello's time , Better than going to church here we relax and learn from one of the great ones so chill with a chela at at hand and enjoy your Sunday Thanks for the video and what's for lunch
Always the slickest work from Sir Mike Bellos aka locochon, wouldn't expect anything less but the best. Gun fabricator with not only experience, but a natural eye for perfection! Big Cheese you've done it again homie, quality work bro!!
Chop top is looking awesome 👌 👏 👍 those window frames modifications are OUTSTANDING WOW 👌 PERFECTION 👌......also it was nice meeting you yesterday at grand national roadster show. We were in line waiting to get in ..thanks for your time and for walking over and giving a BELLO'S STICKER. THAT WAS SO COOL 😎 HAVE A BLESSED DAY....
Who ever owns that car is one lucky guy nice camera work and editing i thought do i have and hour but the amount of work covered it was perfect big ups big guy. Ive been in the game 40+ years and i still learn some thing every time lol. I would hate to think how many hours were condensed to make this vid. I like the fact that even stuff you wont be able to see look mint till some one pulls pulls it apart. No strings of bog hanging down or over lapped panels that cause rust. Cheers from New Zealand 😁🇬🇸👍
I rose from my sick bed to watch this week’s update and it was well worth it Big Steve Love Those Trap Beats added a new dimension once again I offer my warmest greetings from South Wales
Man that work is just fuckin awesome. That mad scientist voice is funny as hell and I agree with you 100% on guys saying shit over and over with not getting to the point on just what to do. Thank you for the video take care..
¡ Primo Artesanos ! Hope the owner keeps the '30s Green color to go with that badass Motores de Tijuana plate frame ~ ps admire you use the hand shears instead of power... OG Sam Barris Pachuco Style !
Wish when I was doing body work that I could have worked with you for the knowledge you have to offer a young person who really wants to learn the trade took me yrs to learn I had to get it the hard way by jumping in and learn by some mistakes but never gave up 77 yrs old and did the trade 35 yrs you do excellent work
I have know, and seen, many customizers over the years and you are the only who joins panels the way you do. None of that over lap or Eastwood panel tool needed here. A perfect but weld every time.
YOUR ON MY BUCKET LIST---HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING BARRIS TWICE--FIRST TIME IN LYNWOOD -1956 , SAM FOOSE SR. & BOYD COTTINGTON--HOPE TO GET YOUR WAY SOME DAY. YOUR THE BEST, LOVE THE SENIOR GENTLEMAN ON YOUR VIDEOS.
According to my calculation, this is the best show ever. Best wishes from Denmark
Your math is correct.
Another bad ass video
100%

"Get the earmuffs Carapilla."
"The what?"
Just love Mike's sense of humour with his voice of a collage teacher.😂😂😂
UNLIKE MOST OTHER SHOPS - WHEN YOU CONSIGN WITH MIKE NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL THE BUILD, OR JOB. MIKE'S FINGERPRINTS ARE ALL OVER "THE WORK"....
THE MAN IS THE "MICHELANGELO" OF CUSTOM CARS, AND THE FACT THAT HE INVITES US TO WATCH IS TRUELY A GIFT...!
Mike's work ethic makes him successful. He is a hard worker!
I love it when Professor Mike comes to visit the shop.
Watching this on my way to work. Let’s have a blessed Sunday Gents!

Catapilla always getting yelled at for f*#kin around. Lol
I started making that instructor voice at work, they now think I’m even crazier!! Good thing I work in a hospital, help isn’t far away….
The one thing you need to do work like this is a lot of confidence in yourself, and this man has it !!! 👍😜💯
Hardest working man in da bidness....
Hats off to Mike for letting all of us watch him work his magic😎🙌. Feels like I learn a lot just by watching. Also big ups to the videographer for filming and making these videos.😎🙌. No two ways about it, I love this channel!👌. I only have one question though….what’s for lunch?😂😂😎👍👌
“Quit fucking around homie!”
How about a little interview with BIG CARAPILA?
As a white guy. "The voice" cracks me up. Always entertaining! We need "Quit Fuckin Around" t-shirts. Gracias por todo.
I’d definitely get one ✊🏽

A lot of guys build some cool stuff, but Bello's does the hard shit extremely well.

It would be awesome to see Mike participate in the class as an instructor.
Both guys have amazing talent.
Yes but who wants to start every sentence with “I used to” and “I remember when I used to”. That’s not fun.
I would definitely sign up.
29K in views and only 2.5k likes! That's messed up! Should be 1 to 1👍👍
The tutorial voice is like one of those cooking shows where a host describes all the things the chef is doing, when the chef could be describing his or her own actions.
The quality of the videos is equal to the superb work of Mr Bellos!!
Thank you!
Big Steve
That shop teacher part had me cracking up big time👌
Could watch this bloke all day, the cameraman should thank his lucky stars
Those roof patch panel lines are sweet!!!!. Great watch man...Big Steve's video prowess rocks to. Nice work guys
Thanks
Big Steve
SO good. Every video! Just the right formula. The styling of cars, the attitude Mike has and Big Cheese Steve is doing a great job too! I always want more!
I can't forget catapilla either! "is that slang for caterpillar?" lol
Every time Mike speaks I hear my old Norwegian shop teacher.
i wish my 35 chevy 5 window looked that good!
Like a Cosmetologist surgeon, just the best in the chopping business.
WOW! That inner structure flows like the body on that Chevy. Beautiful work, like an artist with a sculpture. No Chingas Bello!
Hell yeah Mike came out sick as always...that was funny Big Cheese!! What? Did i just call you Big cheese?!?! Lol ...ahhh, big Steve its all good brother ...keep them videos coming
Somebody give this guy his own TV-Show, please! You're extremely funny!
According to my calculations . Absolutely fantastic. 👌
If it's Sunday it has to be Bello's time , Better than going to church here we relax and learn from one of the great ones so chill with a chela at at hand and enjoy your Sunday
Thanks for the video and what's for lunch
Your mastery of the metal never ceases to amaze. Perfect body lines and integration, wow!! Thanks Mike.

Chevy missed the boat back in '35 when they could've made this car exactly like this from the git go. Such a beautiful car!
Great a longer video.😊😊
I have know, and seen, many customizers over the years and you are the only who joins panels the way you do. None of that over lap or Eastwood panel tool needed here. A perfect but weld every time.
