- In this video we start the body work process on our 49 GMC and try and get the cab a little more straight. We also repair the wipers in the Chevy Napco that stopped working due to some bad welding haha

Don't you just love Brent's descriptive ways! Hates bodywork yet he sure does do a nice job of it. Moving along really nice. The efforts, time and hard labour are sure paying you back. Stay safe and enjoy.
As many have mentioned, I hate body work with bonds myself. However it is a little more enjoyable watching somebody else getting covered in gray dust. LOL. Bottom line a necessary evil and gets you closer. Glad your Napco truck was an easy fix for you. You and Esther enjoy the rest of your day.
It was interesting to watch the bodywork because as you filled and sanded, I recalled how you crafted the bumper, then the headlights, then the articulated hood. It made me realize-wow-you got a lot of work in that rig and it has some great features.!
A carpenter will always tell you that the installation of moldings hides a multitude of sins, as plastic does the same for body men. Look how hard you worked on putting together and welding the metal. Just that alone deserves a finish product that is second to none.

I hate body work myself, but l love watching it in fast speed video!!!! Thanks Brent ! Love watching you!
Good to hear you are coming to Back to the 50`s. Will be good to see you there no matter what you drive.
Brent, we know you don’t love body work. But like everything else you do, your body work, especially your bondo application, is done super well with great technique. I love watching it, especially in time lapse with y’alls cool music!
I'm mid way through a lot of filler work on a vw camper at the moment & watching you doing similar makes me happy💚🇬🇧🌱
I dont mind watching the bodywork, I always learn something, I watch each and every video.. I learned about the resin trick in the body filler from bad Chad's video, but it's cool to see others doing it....
Don’t think anyone enjoys body work. But it’s going to be awesome. Thanks for sharing!
💯👊👍
Hey Brent, the body really straightened up great and looks clean with that skim coat of Bondo on it. Can’t wait to see the rest of the cab and bed skim coated. Great progress. Later
Great video Brent. Thanks for all the effort on building the convertible roof. You have a great "it will work eye".
Man I love this channel, it’s like you are there helping. Reminds me of the times I could do bits.
You've done an amazing job in a relatively short time compared to a lot of custom builds. I wish I could get down to Back to the 50's to see it in person but health issues won't allow me to travel the 250 miles south to go to it. Looking forward to seeing it completed here though.
Bodywork is an art that I can sit and watch for hours….😁
I think it would look so good satin black and gloss black on the trim and Body. Just my opinion. Thanks for another , Brother !
I love this truck, I would take this beauty over a modern 50K truck, I sure hope you keep this truck when finished and enjoy it and drive it with pride with all the work and imagination of your fabrication skills that you have put into it, til next time!! later
I like watching the process. ALL the elements are interesting and you’re so good at sharing it all. Just the right amount of explanation, perfect timelapsing, and excellent work. The metal work, the body work, the electrical, the mechanical, it’s all great to watch…when YOU are the one doing it. Thanks as always. 👍👍😊
Excellent video Brent :) also yes Sanding Primer be mess on clothes plus shops top and task to do ! I done lots in my time and not fun at times especially High Humidity times of Summer Season I had in 2009 could get dry at daytime so do lots for Night times was worst year ever! JULY TO September month's for big ones do with and small was okay medium was 50/50 to !
When we get the stand back view and see the whole truck, then squint real tight like to show it all one color its a DAMN Good Looking truck the details you put into the metal work are really going to stand out! Great Effort!
I love doing bodywork as I am a panel beater ,I just love pushing myself to finish the repair to as good as new
Hello Brent, I know it's a lot of work, but you are doing a great job and when done you are going to have a real Jewel. Take care and stay safe. 👍
❤ your Famous saying , "It'll be FINE and you would be Right !
It always comes out Great . Thanks for Sharing Brent ..👍
looking good in bondo. Primer then paint. Can't wait till it's painted. You are so talented in every ting you do.
You are such a craftsman I could watch any video you do, at least you edit them! Thanks for that. Sure hope you get the truck ready for the show, I know it's gonna be a head turner!!
Keep them coming......she'll be a one-off when she's completed...
New Zealand 🇳🇿
Another good one 👍👍
Looks good can't wait to see it when it gets done
Quite the transformation. Beautifully done!
55 Chevy headlight brows! Lights need something!
I myself love to
Do bodywork..wish i were closer id come hang out! Painter-bodyman for 30 years i miss the shop work.Once in the game you miss the comradery with people pranks and all🤣🤣👍
Fantastic
I like the wiper motor
Hi Brent like the compete look of the happy days truck roadster, it makes me smile with every video, I'm all in on your styling vibe,wow can't wait to see the finished bad boy.Brent take your time all will be fine, just like the rest of your toys. Love your work ethics,take care. .Jesse
Brent it’s really coming together now, just can’t wait to see the finished product
Like always, enjoyed your good humor, and good choice of music !
Well call me a weirdo...... cause I love the process... I learn a lot from these videos...!!!
Gives me the confidence to do it myself
Shouts to wife, " Hey, Brent here on TH-cam has just called me a weirdo !"
"Whaddya mean," you agree !!!
The truck is looking amazing. Your body work is just as good as anyone else's body work and in the end it will be a great hit at the shows. Thanks for the body work video. LOL.
I would rather watch body work than actually do it myself. Which is why my own car is still in need of paint 5 years on. On the plus side seeing your vehicle get finished is a bonus. Not many youtubers actually do finished.
Your hard work is paying off brent looking real good mate
Looks good!
Not to be a safety Sally, but you need to get a handrail on the steps going up to the loft.
Would hate for anyone to take a tumble...
I'd LOVE to see that at back to the 50's
I`d rather watch someone do bodywork than do it myself.
Me too . I have to be in the mood to do body work, but I'm rarely in the mood! Lol
Rarely in the mood? You must be related to my wife😂@@waynedavis7245
I've done lot's and lot's of bondo work in my younger day's a job no one wanted to do, but all the year's I figured out how to make the job go faster and easier to get it done. Because shop's are always pushing for time to get it done and the painter's want it done right so people can say that's a great paint job. The body guy is always for gotten about. The paint job is only going to look as your prep work before paint.
@@snoopu2601 agree with you 100%. I speak from experience in the auto body repair trade.
For a mud mixing board. Try a handox. The kind builders use to plaster walls. It works great.
Brent , it's all coming out fine! One step at a time!
It's all polyester resin based so yes, you can do it, bondo is just mixed with talcum powder type of filler where the glass is more water proof, nice work Brent
step by step it's taking shape. good video
Love the sculpture Mate.
You might think there is nothing to see in bodywork, but actually there is a lot to learn about the preparation and the use of body filler, I have seen some bad bodywork where it looks like a blind man’s done it, it is always useful to see how things are done properly.
That visor would be super cool on your build !!!
Hi again Halfass customs Brent and Ester from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing this update on your GMC patches 😅 it would be great to see it at back to the 50ts 🎉 💪 🤩👍
I learn a lot watching your technique 😊
I don't know if you have talked colors, but Gulf Blue (VW) would look great in my opinion.
Thanks for the video Brent.
I've done a whole lotta body/bondo work took me many year's to master or make it easier for me to get it right. I just cover the whole side and run the long board. I remember a friend and I made a long board out of a 2x4 to do a Cadillac panel's. It came out car show the owner was very happy. My point is some time's you have to make your own tool's to get the job done as fast as possible. The paint job is only going to look as your prep work before paint. To those that don't know.
Great video!! Your music choices are a cool addition to your videos. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
It’s coming along right nice. I like it.
westport here stuck in bed for a while.
it's fun watching a car artist .
I like it ,the transformation is always terrific.
Thanks!
Very skilled my friend
Welcome to the dust bowl , I also did not take well to sanding , I did not wear a mask , I'm paying for that now . The finished product was all about how well you sanded, all the scratches no matter how small will jump right out when the paint goes on , Damned if you do more damned if you dont . The build is getting close to completion and everyone is going to judge no matter what !! Stuart in Ontario ..
I love watching The bodywork it learns me stuff
Nice work ,learn something new every day
It might be easier to paint the box off the truck? That's the way I always seen truck's done. But to each his own. Looking great Brent body work is what everyone hates to do.
Getting er done one way or another.👍👍
Looking good my friend i can almost see it in green i got a old 54 maybe i'll copy the look for it 👍
I can’t wait for back to the 50’s!
that was a lot of work Brent, great job and progress, you're a talented working machine 👍🏼🍺🍺
I watched Bad Chad use the resin trick, and as I was making some custom fenders for a motorcycle, I gave it a try. It worked great, and as you say, if you sand before it goes rock hard, it's nice to work withh. I don't do a lot of body type work, so the additional open time was a boon for and old hacker like myself. Iuse an old drywall hawk for mixing and applying the filler, its a bit awkward but its durable, and if you forget to clean it right away some acetone and a little sanding its as ood as new. I liked the frankenstein look of your build, and probably would have drove it as is.
Truck is looking good Brent Take your time it’s going to look Sharp when done
Don't rush it !
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
i must be in the groupe of weirdos hahaha good job Brent
You need a nomad tailgate for that box, would look awesome!
Bodywork can be a real p-i-t-a. It looks good at this point but I look forward to seeing more. Be safe and stay well.
Excellent work my friend I follow you from Brazil but I'm Italian and for us cars are steel lovers a hug from Brazil 👋👍👍🤗
Your videos are always fun !
Awesome work
Hi Brett we mostly use cheap glazed tiles for mixing bog on, easy to clean. Neville H Australia
Love this build
This build is so Awesome! dig the tilt forward hood. Great progress sir!
I feel for you brother! I really hate sanding body filler...
Specifically when it's completely hardened.
Another complaint is if you mix incorrectly and make air bubbles, and then sand into them ... Grrrr...
Looking good!
Watch you whatever your doing Brent. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Minty !
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Later ...
Always good stuff to watch well done sir Brent .I hate body work as well
Another bite! Put your Bondo in the paint shaker before using, makes it smooooth!!! Take care
Good idea!
You really need to try Rain-x , The stuff really works well, when it's raining and as long as you are doing at least 45kph your windshield will stay clear (water beads up and runs)
You can add the resin because that is what the product is made with, add it is not porous like plastic and putting it over welds is the best thing to do.
I can tell by the gleam in your eyes and the big smile on your face that body work is your favorite thing to do. So as they say in England Lets crack on. Will check back with you again later.
Ain’t nothin better then a smooth shmear… 💯
A plaster guy was using this pallet thing steel top with a wooden handle on the bottom , like a 6 “ broom or shovel cut off . Expensive so I made my own lol
i dont mind watching whatever it is you are doing its ok
Awesome as Always.... You Always make something Nice :D The music when you started sanding was Hilarious.. Forgot to say If you put a Tarp on the floor before sanding, so much easier to clear up...
I find it relaxing.I'm like you.I know you don't find it to relaxing
Try to add some grip and remove or reduce the laser zebra strips? ;-)
Remember; no thicker than a 32nd of an inch, after feathering. ;-D
" for real "....come'n along...like'n the Spanish music....keep well all👍🐕🤠
If you need a cleaning service to come a couple times a week Brent to tidy up the garage, I might be willing to move 1800 miles to the northwest!😆
