@@steveturgeon1081I credit your ability to film as it isn’t easy be able to capture someone working & make the viewer feel as if you were right there that’s an art form right there 🛠️
Hey…what a find! It’s crazy cars were made out of wood back then and the glove box was actually pristine. So hard to find a complete one without it being torn up. Can’t wait to see what you do to it! The break down of a car is definitely a fun part! Big Steve showing us his power pushing the Zephyr 💪🏻
Great to get to see the teardown which to me is part of building it back . Hopefully I get to see all of this from start to the first new drive down the street on the test run . It's going to be an interesting one Mike and we know you can do it . Watching from south west Idaho .
What a neat project. I am amazed at the amount of wood in the rear seat area. I guess the limited production of the Zephyr convertible made more sense to support that area with wood. Go, Bud!
IMHO initial disassembly is one of the most exciting parts of a build. Discovering what is right and what is wrong powers the planning process. One could almost see your thinking as you dug into this thing.
I did a 36 Chevy 5 window coupe, every one asked me if I’m going to use the OG motor and transmission, I said no because I like to go fast and look cool . I’m running a 406 small block Chevy with a TKO 5 speed transmission with a 55 Chevy posi reared . Would like to share the picture don’t know how on this. Much love and respect for what you do
Thanks for showing the dirty part of building custom cars. Its not all glitz and glamor, ya need to get your hands dirty. Nice job keeping it real, cheers!
Bello, you’re an INSPIRATION! I love the way you operate, your positive energy, I secretly take with me to work the’Bello Process’ and it helps make my assignments a whole lot easier and enjoyable. Thank you Bello for sharing and thank you Bello’s Film Crew for capturing the style of Bello’s artistry.
You are an artist who is looking at someone elses art work turned puzzle who in turn looks at it and turns into Your ark work/puzzle. This way when it goes back together it will have the true function it was meant to have and not so much of the artwork it had when it was first made. You truly are a Master At Your Craft. I Thank You for that
Hi Mike,looking forward to seeing you starting this fine ride, keep customizing your way because your style is so cool and classic that there is a great comfort to older guys like me. Fantastic work you are truly one of the best ,l always look forward to your videos. Stay cool be safe.
you're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We always can't wait till the next video. Enjoyed Sam. Seems to be a good worker. You like us get excited about what you do. We are in North Carolina and work our buts off everyday and love it!
Buenas ! ultra-rare Zephyr Convertible...looks pretty solid...never really modified or Hot-Rodded - wow. got to be very few even when new, you had to be a High-Roller Gangsta to own that new then. Like to see this one done as the Cream-color '40 Merc - for me your Most Beautiful Build
I just love how those old cars get dismanteld. Those allmost 90 year old screws allmost all if them get los. Try that on a 80's car. No chance. Can't wait to see the next film mike. I've started saving money for a trip next year to cali and visit you ( keeping in mind i am building my gmc truck that cost a lot of chees 💲💲💲💲😂).
I see you use Kroil for those stubborn nuts and flathead screws. Salud! I found that company back in the 90s, bought a can, and never used anything else since. It's 'the sh!t'. Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on this Zephyr, Mike.
As already said hard to imagine they were STILL using wood in '39. I do love these Zephyr projects - it's gonna be the shit! (I bet that rear end sold already!)
Got a question. When you see a lot of rust how do you go about deciding what way you are going to tackle it? Do you fallow back to good metal or do you just replace it it? I’m just curious. Thanks for letting enjoy your work.
Hi mike ,now this is going to be a project ...but as always i know your the man for this job ....im so glad this did not end up being crushed ....its going to be a fab restoration cant wait for the end result
. . The dreamin stage is the best, just before ya start changin things up. Thank you for doing your page, I know it's inspiring a lot of young ones. . .😎
I agree Mike, the only time any car should be on a trailer is when it's broken down. Trailer queens are a waste of a vehicle. There should be no trophies at car shows then that would stop those glory hunters who only build them for shows.
Hehehe - yeah, I know whatcha mean. But here I am a real trophy whore now 'cause my 56 Merc wins so much. And I drive her every time. Wish I could post a pic.
Another one that was bought online , and shipped 2,000 miles . That's okay , but the buyer bought it depending on the pics to be the real deal . The seller lied his ass off ...again . The good part is Bellos will save a car that would have been scrap in another 15 years . Great work again .
hey have not seen carapila in a while nice to see he still around mike i heard about your place from a guy from canada make it kustum is his channel he had a lot of nice thing to say about you ever since i watch your channel havent been disapointed yet thaks for all you do love watching you guys do what you do keep em coming
THAT'S WHY CUSTOMERS BRING THERE ( CARUCHAS ) TO BELLO'S KUSTOMS! PLAIN & SIMPLE, MIKE THE MAN WITH A PLAN. TO MODERNIZE THIS OLD GAL, GIVING HER A PEP TO HER STEP! PURO LOVE HOMIE, FOR THESE CARRITOS. CANT WAIT TO SEE SOME OF YOUR TRICKS, FOR THIS LOVELY LADY. SO THAT SHE LAYS DOWN, ON THE GROUD! KEEP DROPING THE NEW VIDEO!!!! ADIOS....
A restorer would be bagging and tagging like mad during this phase. Every scrap would be stored as a future template. I am guessing that this would be happening off camera with the possible exception of those parts that will never return to this vehicle. Not the most exciting footage but critical for some things.
Y'lnow...I always end up wanting more when you come to the end of the episodes. Can you set me up a 'Couch Heckler Bench' up against the wall in there, somewheres, so's I can come camp out and watch youse guys all day? I'll bring my own lunch!
I would just like to know how many zyphers you worked on in your life my first time seeing a convertible I think. It should be a nice build I hope it's a complete build.
Your right vintage is cool but my 49 Merc is going to get 351 w ,It's your fault my stroker flathead is being taken out so I can drive the car anyplace and not come home on trailer . Thanks for your insperation to move on from the flathead .
Greetings from Pembroke Dock to all at Bello’s Kustoms & all those followers of the Great Fabricator Mike Bellos
Cheers from Edmonton Alberta Canada John
Right back at you

Apart from the craftsmanship of Mike Bello, I always admire your dedication and hardwork Mr. camera guy! Always filming the good stuff. 🎥 🏆
Hi from Australia,
Bought a couple of T shirts, fantastic quality!
I did a 36 Chevy 5 window coupe, every one asked me if I’m going to use the OG motor and transmission, I said no because I like to go fast and look cool . I’m running a 406 small block Chevy with a TKO 5 speed transmission with a 55 Chevy posi reared . Would like to share the picture don’t know how on this.
Much love and respect for what you do
Looking forward to seeing this brought back to life, Mike.
Thanks for showing the dirty part of building custom cars. Its not all glitz and glamor, ya need to get your hands dirty. Nice job keeping it real, cheers!
The Zephyr has some great styling, I can't wait to see Mike's artistry that will mahe this an amazing ride, tu sabes!❤😊
Looking forward to watching a artist in motion on another great build by the master....Keep them coming Mike

Some people see damage…. Squint real hard and see a gorgeous beauty…. Keep up the great work….😊
Nice teardown. Looking forward to seeing this work take shape.
You are an artist who is looking at someone elses art work turned puzzle who in turn looks at it and turns into Your ark work/puzzle.

It's amazing that back in the day they used fine thread hardware on everything and that 80 years later they weren't welded together with rust
Hi Mike,looking forward to seeing you starting this fine ride, keep customizing your way because your style is so cool and classic that there is a great comfort to older guys like me. Fantastic work you are truly one of the best ,l always look forward to your videos. Stay cool be safe.
Good to see Carapila otra ves suelte con ese proyecto y combertible me lo imajino cuando este terminado tremendo sueltes atodos.

This is gonna be da Boom. Bello's is da Bomb. Thanks for the pro editing + sound too!
By far, You get the most respect from me. You not only have the most equipment you also know how to use it.
Now watching it again this time on my HD TV cold beer & Snacks Big Steve, Mike & Carapilla makes for great TV on a Sunday Afternoon 🛠️
"We're gonna fix it cuz you couldn't!" I love that quote!!!! With you're permition I'm gonna steal that quote!!! 🤭

Best way to start MY BIRTHDAY Sunday; Bello’s and breakfast tacos. Dale shine, vatos. ❤❤❤
This build is going to be enjoyable for me to watch!
It would be awesome to know the history of a great old car like this, who owed it, where it came from, etc.
Always remember, What you want to do!! Have a plan man, make clean clear pinky ring!!!
Thanks Mike!
I just love how those old cars get dismanteld. Those allmost 90 year old screws allmost all if them get los. Try that on a 80's car. No chance.

I love watching a new project getting started !!
According to my calculations, this is gonna be rad af!
Hi mike ,now this is going to be a project ...but as always i know your the man for this job ....im so glad this did not end up being crushed ....its going to be a fab restoration cant wait for the end result
Of course you can do it, Mike just make sure you do a video of the operation for all of us to watch.
Can't wait to see where this goes!
Love the start of a new project.
👊❤️🤙
Sunday mornin Mike ... always a good time ...
Thanks for sharing, always interesting!
Thanks Big Steve for the video shoot!
You're welcome and thank you for watching
Big Steve
Part 1 of a monumental task. Go for it ,Mike [and crew]
Its gonna be nice to watch this build.
. . The dreamin stage is the best, just before ya start changin things up. Thank you for doing your page, I know it's inspiring a lot of young ones. . .😎
You see the car dissappear into the dark behind the roller door knowing it will be the last time it looks like that. Now Mike works the magic.
I agree Mike, the only time any car should be on a trailer is when it's broken down. Trailer queens are a waste of a vehicle. There should be no trophies at car shows then that would stop those glory hunters who only build them for shows.
Hehehe - yeah, I know whatcha mean. But here I am a real trophy whore now 'cause my 56 Merc wins so much. And I drive her every time. Wish I could post a pic.
A new day with a new dream to manifest into reality. Great work gentlemen, look forward to seeing how things progress. Cheers!
Saludos from Austin TX! Such a cool car, the zephyr will turn out killer I am sure. I was wondering when you would find the mouse house!
Another one that was bought online , and shipped 2,000 miles . That's okay , but the buyer bought it depending on the pics to be the real deal . The seller lied his ass off ...again . The good part is Bellos will save a car that would have been scrap in another 15 years . Great work again .
Yo Locochon That`s some nice work Glad to La Ganga Doing it Play safe El Viejo Loco En El Yucatan
Very KOOL Mike Definitely going to be a good Build

Hey Mike instead of an LS3 why not put a warmed over Coyote in it, that way it would be a Ford in a Ford.
Locoshones left the Zephyr looking like those nutshells under the cuete seat.
That bucket 🪣 is why they call them old cars a Bucket of bolts 😮😮😅😅.
Can't wait for the next episode ...awesome work....👍
I wonder how many rich children were conceived in the back of that lincoln😂
A restorer would be bagging and tagging like mad during this phase. Every scrap would be stored as a future template. I am guessing that this would be happening off camera with the possible exception of those parts that will never return to this vehicle. Not the most exciting footage but critical for some things.
Not a restoration.
Nice job Mike.
Enjoyed the video today Mike. Any chance you could show a little more about the vachume cylinders ?
Another Bellos Baby, Greetings from Spain.
Awesome Keep them coming, "you Know...What you half to do is" lol
I never realized that they had so much wood in them 😂😂 I’m sure that this will be another great project Mike 😎👨🏻🎨
Thank you for another great video.
This is going to be a good one!
Y'lnow...I always end up wanting more when you come to the end of the episodes. Can you set me up a 'Couch Heckler Bench' up against the wall in there, somewheres, so's I can come camp out and watch youse guys all day? I'll bring my own lunch!
🤙👍🤘🤟😎🙋♂️
I "liked" it, even though I haven't watched it yet.
Need more about the 1939. You working on 😊
I would just like to know how many zyphers you worked on in your life my first time seeing a convertible I think. It should be a nice build I hope it's a complete build.
It’s just WOW !
Hello 😊, un très beau projet ❤
DOPE , ALL WAYS.
Awesome work
Dude straight up called you a culture vulture🤣 💯
Thank you
Your secret is out... While you were carrying the back seat out.. couldn't help but notice, you do a comb over.
Ahuevooo Carnal! TODO LOCOCHON! AQUI DESDE TEXAS! HELL YEAH MY BROTHER 🔥 💪 🙌 🔪
"Back in the day", rich people spent a fortune on these things and 1/2 of it is wood!
Your right vintage is cool but my 49 Merc is going to get 351 w ,It's your fault my stroker flathead is being taken out so I can drive the car anyplace and not come home on trailer . Thanks for your insperation to move on from the flathead .
