This video explains why our plates say "Friendly Manitoba"! Helping a novice builder by sharing ideas and teaching the skill is what this hobby is all about. Some shops would charge thousands or not even give you the time of day. Halfass Customs is close enough for me to smell the rust, sweat and tears of all of these builds and I can't wait to get out there one day soon. Anyone else see the grin on Trevor's face when they set that axle in place? Great content!
Love it when you throw something together from parts that are laying around. You and Jonathan W are both good at doing that. Keep the vids coming, loving it.
Nothing better than building something out of parts. Relaxing. Better than listening or watching crap on TV. Put some music on and build something. Love your channel.
You dont cease to amaze me. I spent too much of my life fixing daily drivers, still do. Other peoples junk. I get a few classics to work on,i enjoy that. Im growing to dislike the day to day fix everybody else’s problems. What you do, i wanted to do 30 years ago. Didnt start dabbling until 16 months ago. And its way more satisfying. I know why you do it.
Like watching old school on how to build with not much choice building materials on hand but use what you got. I admire the vision you can see with nothing and a little later I can see the what a neat coupe this will be. Hope your builder friends stay and help with this buddy project. My buddies would help for a while on the build then drop out mid stream. A++++ video
I would love to come up there and hang with you guys. I looks like my uncle's shop when I was growing up he had a body shop and they were always putting out some kind of really nice car. I remeber a 62 buick wild cat, a 67 dodge dart swinger, a 65 baracuda, 68 chevelle and dozens of first gen camaro's One uncle had a 65 C-10 my dad had a 66 C-10 My other uncle had a 54 3100. You are into a little different cars but all the work and everyone stopping by was just great. I miss those days so bad. All of them are gone now but I am still working on my 57 pontiac and 77 C-30 and Dad's old 66 C-10. Keep building please I love what your doing.
Indeed a nice concept..... Its great to see a group of guys put their thoughts together to create a great looking car. Don't see that anymore.... Stay cool buddy, we need that kind of reality.
I just like how you cut it at will you don't measure you don't do any of that you just yeah I'm going to cut it here that should be a fun little car when you're done looking forward to more videos. 👍👍😀
Actually I liked the look of it with the full doors and the full back metal in place. When the rear doors were welded in place you had a full size coupe. But when Trevor cut it into a metal jigsaw puzzle and you guys put it back together, I could see your vision. It's going to look good when you're finished, of that I have no doubt. You, sir, are a master fabricator and I really like all your builds, especially the delivery van. I keep seeing that parked outside my apartment, painted in full Pinetree camo and calling me to head deep in the bush for a few days. Can't help it, that sweetheart stole my heart, it would be a perfect overlander. And, yes, I have a habit of believing my vehicles have a personality and a soul.
My grandparents used to have a Essex in there side yard just like the 4 door. It was turned into a chicken coop. I remember collecting eggs out of it , that was probably at least 65 years ago. Don't know whatever happened to it one day it was gone.
Must be nice having project cars just laying around in your yard really cool take some from this something from that like the old Johnny Cash song looks good with those front fenders on it too
If you got anything right, it was the comment you made at the end of the video. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TO MANY HOT RODS !!!!!!! That's absolutely right. Hell Yea!!!! Great video. An have yourself a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. 😁👍✌️🦃🥧
Always nice to have some company around the shop lol. Can make things go lots smoother, or at least someone to blame mistakes on!! Great video Brent, bet this bit is fun for you as well. Reminds me of high school days of hanging around some ones garage and scabbing stuff together and having a blast doing it
If it boiled down to it, Model A coupe side windows would tie everything in nicely. I think after you do your chop the proportions will pull it together nicely! Looking good Brent!
You have a real good eye that original rear part was too bulbous. I agree the 2nd part you held up has a sharper corner and it will fit and look better. All good Man. Great little project. Dennis in Virginia
Looks awesome! I really like that truck at the end too, I think that's more something I'd have. I know of this cool Plymouth truck I's like to grab out of a field someday, it's in my Field Fresh Plymouth Truck vid.
I fully agree with the rear roof change but I think the rear window out of the first one looks better and matches the windshield frame better, maybe swap it in when you are widening the new one
*- My sensibilities wants to see a 6+ inch Lengthened six window salon body {+2in. between door jam and 4+inch added aft of rear door window} so the passengers in the back can stretch their legs in a fore-to-aft rake {3-" chop front up to 2-" chop rear}, with the same rear quarter panels and rear window panel already chosen, all with tall enough tires to let the feel look right and balanced; per the largest block engine the frame will handle well.* *- Better ride. More stylish. Unusual/rare. Smooth/sleek, but 'steam-punkish', too!*

For a minute there I thought I had tuned in to the Bennie Hill show.
Love it when you throw something together from parts that are laying around. You and Jonathan W are both good at doing that. Keep the vids coming, loving it.
Yeah its easy to throw money at it and build with new parts. Not true hotrods old school was build with what you got or make it work.
Makin' something from nothing; I like the way this is going, but more importantly, time with friends. Priceless.
Nothing better than building something out of parts. Relaxing. Better than listening or watching crap on TV. Put some music on and build something. Love your channel.
I think building is much more enjoyable then watching someone build ,after saying that it’s still educational and entertaining to watch you build !
You dont cease to amaze me. I spent too much of my life fixing daily drivers, still do. Other peoples junk. I get a few classics to work on,i enjoy that. Im growing to dislike the day to day fix everybody else’s problems.

I know why you do it.
Just dig everything you do, You are truly a visionary!✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦
He's a wizard more wizard than the car wizard
A hot rod roller in two days, can't get any better than that. With you doing the work on one of the days, you make it look so easy. Great show.

I look forward to Seeing this fabrication of bits into a nice looking coupe
Bill...Queensland Australia
Looking Good Bud. Its amazing watching You Fabricating these Cars and Trucks.. You truly have a GIFT...Great Video.
Man this is an awesome project

Great video guys.
the Essex has made fine progress, looking forward to more of this build Brent and company!
So cool Brent to mentor a feller buildin his hot rod. This way you won't get a call about a mucked up rod with bad driveabilty lol!
U can never have too many HotRods!!👍⚘👍
I see a lot of potential sitting on the shop floor already, great start .
proper meeting of "OLD GUY'S RULE" club, with correct amount of "wobble-pops and cold snacks"
You started with the coolest crew cab I've ever seen!!🤔😀👍👍👍👍
Excellent video Halfass Kustoms (Brent) :) great planned and going very nice ! Also never run out ideas and vechiles to fix too!
Indeed a nice concept..... Its great to see a group of guys put their thoughts together to create a great looking car. Don't see that anymore.... Stay cool buddy, we need that kind of reality.
Loving this project. 😄👉🇺🇸🇨🇦
Like going back to the fifties and building a hot rod from scratch, beautiful start. 👍😎🍺🕵🏾♂️🎸🎵👽🥂
Cool old school Hot Rodding!
I’m liking the way it’s coming. Can’t wait to see I floor and stuff under it. Excited.
Just some radical fabrication, awesome work guys
The true spirit of hotrodding!
I just think that's super cool that you are helping your buddy With This Heart rod and having all the parts to it💯👍👍🙏🙏
A really good project wow nice
Looks cool already. Can't wait to see the progress
To paraphrase Lil John Buttera - "just get an old car, and cut away everything that doesn't look like a hot rod"
In this case get a old truck and everything to make it a hot rod
I just like how you cut it at will you don't measure you don't do any of that you just yeah I'm going to cut it here that should be a fun little car when you're done looking forward to more videos. 👍👍😀
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏

You coined a new word for me when you said bubbleous. I’m totally using that.
NICE! Wow, what a flurry of motion and ideas...
Definitely looking coupey. Diggin it 👍
It's looking good 👍👍🇨🇱
It will be nice when done
I think it’s super cool that you and Rolly (spelling?) are helping him with his Hot Rod! 💪👍🏼
She's slick lookin!
Another great budget build!!
This build is awesome! Literally a pile of parts, your imagination and skills. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Hotrod builds are the best !
Quarter windows can be square, use back of door windows. Guy in NY (Quick Speed Shop) converted a Sport Coupe and used door windows cut down.
This is definitely an art form and you are an automotive artist. Nice work!
You do some cool projects!!
Besides your wild, ain't scared of nothin builds, I like your jams!
Good to see you posted my friend great video .
U really are a genius
Coupe is going to be a Nice one Too !
Thanks for sharing the Magic !
Awesome Brent Thanks
I am, as always, amazed by the creativity, skills and especially the motivation to get it done! Love watching it all come together. 😊👍👍
My grandparents used to have a Essex in there side yard just like the 4 door. It was turned into a chicken coop. I remember collecting eggs out of it , that was probably at least 65 years ago. Don't know whatever happened to it one day it was gone.
Still love the general most epic build yet its a awesome truck 👍
Nice work
Enjoy the show... love the music 🎶
A really good start for just a couple evenings work. Great video.
Fun stuff
Must be nice having project cars just laying around in your yard really cool take some from this something from that like the old Johnny Cash song looks good with those front fenders on it too
Yeah, I really liked the look with those fenders too….
Its gonna be great
If you got anything right, it was the comment you made at the end of the video. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TO MANY HOT RODS !!!!!!! That's absolutely right. Hell Yea!!!! Great video. An have yourself a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. 😁👍✌️🦃🥧
A TRUE VISIONARY
Great plan. More leg room. Love it.

Man I wish you lived closer to me, ive got several cool projects id love you to help me on, im just too over whelmed with, love your work though .
This is great, I would like to build a truck cab this way, maybe someday
Didn't see this coming! The stance looks good, very interested to see what you do with the suspension on this one!
That well weathered entrance door give's not one damn clue as to what turbulent genius weather sh@t goes on inside. Fittin' music for fittin' rides.
Nice job guys! I have that same Lincoln welder. Thumbs up!
On a completely unrelated note, that vented hood on the pile outside looked badass.
Love what you do. Very entertaining and informative.
Always nice to have some company around the shop lol. Can make things go lots smoother, or at least someone to blame mistakes on!! Great video Brent, bet this bit is fun for you as well. Reminds me of high school days of hanging around some ones garage and scabbing stuff together and having a blast doing it
You always have the coolest projects going on
Hell's Bells - I came here for the music, and some kind of automobile construction puzzle broke out.
WOW, that's amazing.
If it boiled down to it, Model A coupe side windows would tie everything in nicely. I think after you do your chop the proportions will pull it together nicely! Looking good Brent!
haha that a rare item around these parts
Waiting so long!🤗
Gonna be a sweet ride
I like this project much better than the panel wagon..
Lookin' sweet. It's gunna be a cool ride.
Looking cool for a few days on her. 😎👍🇨🇦
O yeah totally awesome 👌
Pretty cool to make something out of nothin! Duff approves!
You have a real good eye that original rear part was too bulbous. I agree the 2nd part you held up has a sharper corner and it will fit and look better. All good Man. Great little project. Dennis in Virginia
Cool beans, this is playing cars!
Looks awesome! I really like that truck at the end too, I think that's more something I'd have.

this is a great build i like this! 👍
That's awesome
Looking good!
Big project !
You should use the center of the truck cab top and the sides of the cartel could give you your 2 inches And a better Looking back window
👍🏻coming along nicely, love building something out of nothing!
You call it work, but it sure looks like fun to me. Cheers
Thats going to be awesome. I wish I could do what you do.
The guy with the silver hair makes an excellent watcher😏 yep!
Supervisor!

Looks great
