You know, I've always heard adults say, when thier around kids, I sure wish I had thier energy. Nope, I wish I had Brent's energy... haha, that man gets more done at night, after work, than I do in a month... Another great job, looking good 👍
Those flashing blue lights scared me at first--I thought I was being pulled over by the cops. Then I realized I wasn't even driving. Whew! It was just the MIG spotting. Great work!
*- I was upset with the squareness, until you went to the English Wheel. Whew ! ! !* *- I see a lot of work going into this. Thank you for the effort, Brent.*
Let me tell you Brent I'd rather come visit you than chip goose kindig it or the rest of them. I love your builds and would be proud to rod yours around. I'm 64 yrs old and been a subscriber since you started. Keep it up and your channel is gonna go through the roof. Look at it for a year or so. Holy. Love Pablo. He's a hit
Tuned in to get my daily fix and I see Pablo sneaking some food; after each bite he looks around as if to say, " anybody see me?" No? Good, back at it..... and when I first saw the read fenders, the flat kind of grew on me, but then after the wheel and hammer; that made it!! thanks!
Thanks for a nice relaxing night watching this video Brent! One problem though, every time I see one of your innovative type tools, I go and look to buy one lol!! My garage is ready to explode with all the stuff! Anyway, thank you very much for filming the projects , they are so informative and a pleasure to watch. Helps to take the mind off all the nonsense going on. All the best, give the pups a pet from me.
What do you mean, make it look like a nice truck. This is a beautiful truck and any truck lover out there would love to have it. I know I have been looking for one a long time. You are doing a great job I love it and love to watch you work your magic !!!!
They make them widen in fiberglass back fenders I seen them on the truck's. I don't think they make the front fenders widen. This guy in Miami made a truck with widen fenders it took two truck's to build one truck. He name the truck El Gordo meaning fat boy or big boy. It's on you tube somewhere that's where I saw it. The story is he built the truck ran into money troubles year's later the owner was selling the truck and the original owner that built the truck bought it back and change a few thing's on it to make it better.
By you widening the fenders made it just look that much better. If who ever gets it and wants to put air suspension in it that's one less thing they have to worry about. Plus wheels and tires can change the whole look of the panel truck. 👍🏼💯
Love how at 1 minute 35 seconds, Pablo is like “Hmmm, while Dad’s ignoring me I’ll just help myself to little snack.” He even keeps checking that he’s not been spotted! Love him.
this is amazing! halfass kustom is my favorite channel on youtube! brent does amazing work and im very surprised he dosent have millions of followers!! let me tell you why! everyone else that do cars on youtube they build these very expensive builds that are all sponsored and require an entire crew of profesionals! some of those builds are nice but are very impractical and some of them wouldnt even make it across the street! and here is brent! he take old vehicules and gives them a second chance at life and throws a modern powertrain in them. makes them drivable and practical and usable and can even be used in harsh canadian winters! this is real life stuff people! and bo sponsor! this is all hard work out of pocket and on his own! this is better! much better than any "sema build" this guy is the best! tons of respect for brent's work and his great real life builds! i.watch every video and love it! best on youtube! period!
I want to see him work on the convertible truck he started year's ago. He pulled it in did a few small thing's to it and drug it back out side. He will get to it again that's a Kustom truck 48-53 body style truck
Its amazing that body stayed in such good shape for all the salt that it must have seen over the years, i was born and raised in Detroit and in the fifties all the tri- fives would rust Gasser rear wheel cut outs in them, that truck is still all there!
Finishing? A way to go before we see the last of this one, I hope. I would keep this one. Big enough for a mattress and a camping stove for those 'marital' moments... Maybe that's just me. Many thanks, as ever. Entertained and educated. Damn!
Factory Fitted Brent. Amazing work as I've become to expect from your great skill & passion. Cheers Mate for sharing. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
The fenders look great! I’ve added 2-1/2” to my rear fenders on my ‘34 Chevy and need to do the same thing by crowning them. Thanks for the inspiration! I’ll be doing the same with the planishing hammer.
Hello from the Mekong Delta, pissing rain this morning. Another entertaining episode I like how the whee wheels in your brain work. English wheel and hammer creating a transitional radius, it looks terrific. Thanks see you next time.
Awesome job on the fenders and panel truck Brent. And the foot step makes the panel truck look complete and even better with the wide fenders. To bad you are not going to finish the fenders, it would only take you one or two afternoons and increase the value. If I lived closer, I would come over and buy it as is from you and finish it myself. Great video, God bless
You are a man of many talents sir. I was expecting the rear fenders to be just a bit less compliant than the fronts with that convex curve, but they fell into shape really well. Great content, music, what more could a fella ask for. Catch you later, regards from the U.K. 🇨🇦🇬🇧.
You did a fantastic job on the back fenders, widening the front & back made a big difference in the look of the delivery. Brent you made it look way better than factory. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. Those running boards are going to look great on there. 💯👍👍🙏🙏💪🏼
That's some mad patina . Reminds me to attack the hood (bonnet ) with a 120 flap wheel on the 4" angle grinder. And then let a British winter pickle it. Love the sound track. Be well and stay safe. UK.
Great job! I think the way you widened them with the planished curve looks more natural than if they had been unbolted and a strip added to the inside. Thanks for the car show footage too, I really like the '28 Model A rpu with the hopped up 4 banger!
The work and music combo is pretty great. Excellent vibe. I had a friend back in the day had one of these panel van. Painted it to look like a high top sneaker. Very cool
My son, who happens to be married and visiting. Just asked if the 2 inches was really worth it. I simply said you should ask your wife that. My wife, his mom, yelled hey from the other room.....lol Love this channel
Looks Good Sir..Widening those fenders really changed the look of it. Looks Great..With the running boards its will be a Sweet Ride...Great job and video..
Great job !! You really do make it look easy !! Thank you for taking us along !! You might have gotten into some " nasty" material if you had brought the bolt on metal to the outside !! Be safe my friend and God bless you and yours !!!! Eddy.
Love the video I have a 1950 panel short bed doing a off frame custom restoration right up my alley thank you for all your videos continuously learning from Louisville Ky.
Always looking forward to the next episode in this build. I think I had a hot wheel that resembled this as a kid, not sure, anyhoo, moving on lol!! Awesome Brent thx.
Looking good. You made that fender work in the last episode look easy [its not for the average guy but watching you and Fitz do your magic helps us shmoes move in the right direction]. Good stuff as usual :-)
A few years ago I sold a 1949, 1 ton 3100 extended wheelbase panel truck, if I had extended fenders like that on it I probably would have done a 4x4 and a DT466 swap on it. Way cool!!!!
Nice one Brent, another awesome creation. I've been looking forward to seeing some more done to this one. I like this one almost as much as The General! All the best, Andi, UK
Great work on the fenders. Really makes a difference in the look of the truck. Nice looking cars at that car show. Nice to see your wife out with ya too. My wife and I only got out to a couple of car shows this summer. Too many restrictions until it got started getting dark too early. Be safe and stay well.
What a great way to widen the fenders . And the panel truck needed that touch ! Sure wish I had that panel for myself ! I mentioned my grandfather had the same panel back in the 50s ! Looking good my friend !
The cool thing that I love the most about the panel truck ..... Is that it was born the same year as me !! Ha ! Let me know when you are ready to sell I would like to at least give you a bid. Thanks my brother.
Are you welding back to the fender or just welding it to the truck body?
back to the fender so they can be removed if needed.
The dog is just helping himself to the bag of food, I love it
The dogy can,t read.. the sign say "wrong way."..
If Dogy could read it will not dare to take it all by him self... good dogy just go' for it..🛠🚗✌🚦😎
This is looking like a keeper Brent, don't stop now, primer and paint and lots of Chrome. PLEASE.
Coming along nicely. Pablo with his head in the dog food bag at the beginning had me cracking up.
Good call on reworking the fender extension in the English Wheel.
A young man would deliver our groceries in a van exactly like this one. I was about 7 years old. Brings back memories. I like your channel.
You know, I've always heard adults say, when thier around kids, I sure wish I had thier energy. Nope, I wish I had Brent's energy... haha, that man gets more done at night, after work, than I do in a month... Another great job, looking good 👍
Watch dd speed shop he is just as hard of worker
I'm not sure pathetic my life is but when a new Brent project update comes its the highlight of my day.
Those flashing blue lights scared me at first--I thought I was being pulled over by the cops. Then I realized I wasn't even driving. Whew! It was just the MIG spotting. Great work!
Love the dog getting a snack while keeping an eye on you.
Pablo, shop foreman.
The fenders look great widened ... and the curve finished them off nicely.
Man, he’s such a good dog! Loves given hugs!
Lovin the content, keep’em coming!
*- I was upset with the squareness, until you went to the English Wheel. Whew ! ! !*
*- I see a lot of work going into this. Thank you for the effort, Brent.*
It's fun watching you in action ! It's also nice too see someone that has such a talent as yours .Keep the sunny sidd
The rounded edge shows up just fine on your fender extension!
Yesssss!!! Killing it as usual Brent. Love that it’s a chassis swap. Such a killer base
Let me tell you Brent I'd rather come visit you than chip goose kindig it or the rest of them. I love your builds and would be proud to rod yours around. I'm 64 yrs old and been a subscriber since you started. Keep it up and your channel is gonna go through the roof. Look at it for a year or so. Holy. Love Pablo. He's a hit
Thanks John!
Widening the fenders really improved the look of that beast. Going to be another great old truck. Nice work.
I love a good fender-widening.
I like the fact you are targeting the really old rolling stock and allowing them to live again.
Tuned in to get my daily fix and I see Pablo sneaking some food; after each bite he looks around as if to say, " anybody see me?" No? Good, back at it.....
and when I first saw the read fenders, the flat kind of grew on me, but then after the wheel and hammer; that made it!! thanks!
Good job, you have big bucks in equipment ,must have taken years too collect so much.
Sweet video,,great way too widen them,tks Brett looks alot better now..
yeah, though there not really high dollar haha would be comparable to your harbor freight stuff.
Should have seen what I had for tools they not invented cordless drills ha !

I think it's cool that you go only so far and than let someone else make it their own. Mean while this iron is back on the street
Looks good, Pablo was acting sneaky at the beginning of the video, ☺️ LOL! I guess food taste better when you sneak it! 😁✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦
Love to see one of your projects with a hot rod finish with paint etc as you trademanship is outstanding.
Looks good! the running boards really finish it off nicely. Take care, stay warm. 🙂
Awesome video. Great job with the fenders. Enjoyed the car show footage. Thank you
Love that background music! Love your work! You are truly an artist.
i love those old panel trucks , good job on the fenders ,, stay safe friend
Love the fact your dog whilst munching on food from a bag kept his eye out to see if you were watching lol
What do you mean, make it look like a nice truck. This is a beautiful truck and any truck lover out there would love to have it. I know I have been looking for one a long time. You are doing a great job I love it and love to watch you work your magic !!!!
I really enjoy watching you. You know how to make things right. If I dove anymore, I'd have you build me something!👍
Your so gifted to see these things and do them without hesitation. Thanks for your video.
Really enjoyed this show...I learned a great deal. I've had half dozen panels and always thought how much better they would look widened. Thnx buddy 😎
They make them widen in fiberglass back fenders I seen them on the truck's. I don't think they make the front fenders widen.
This guy in Miami made a truck with widen fenders it took two truck's to build one truck. He name the truck El Gordo meaning fat boy or big boy. It's on you tube somewhere that's where I saw it.

I think the name Generation old school is where I saw it?
This guy interviews many people with old car's and truck's.
By you widening the fenders made it just look that much better. If who ever gets it and wants to put air suspension in it that's one less thing they have to worry about. Plus wheels and tires can change the whole look of the panel truck. 👍🏼💯
As usual, another great video on widing the back fenders ,looks great Brent ,can't wait to see the side steps and bumper installed ,Thanks man .
Love that old panel wagon. Great job on the widening of the fenders. It needed that.
The wider fenders are mint Brent! Good call!! Thanks for the Cruise In/Car Show bonus footage!!
The fenders have a nice profile now, hope you keep build this one! Have a great weekend Brent.
much respect to our neighbors to the north. i have more relatives in Canada then i do in America. thanks for the video.
Love how at 1 minute 35 seconds, Pablo is like “Hmmm, while Dad’s ignoring me I’ll just help myself to little snack.” He even keeps checking that he’s not been spotted! Love him.
this is amazing!
halfass kustom is my favorite channel on youtube! brent does amazing work and im very surprised he dosent have millions of followers!!
let me tell you why!
everyone else that do cars on youtube they build these very expensive builds that are all sponsored and require an entire crew of profesionals! some of those builds are nice but are very impractical and some of them wouldnt even make it across the street!
and here is brent! he take old vehicules and gives them a second chance at life and throws a modern powertrain in them. makes them drivable and practical and usable and can even be used in harsh canadian winters!
this is real life stuff people! and bo sponsor! this is all hard work out of pocket and on his own!
this is better! much better than any "sema build"
this guy is the best!
tons of respect for brent's work and his great real life builds!
i.watch every video and love it!
best on youtube! period!
Amazed how close to the edge you can get and still be able to get the fenders unbolted for the next guy.
Good show man, thanks for sharing. Loved the opening!!
Really digging this truck. Didn't think it needed widening till you did it. Now, I can't imagine it not widened.
Really like how that's coming together
This would make an awesome truck for a trade/handyman. After its painted it would be good advertising when driving from job to job. Great work Brent!
you need to finish that one...it looks like the generals little brother
I want to see him work on the convertible truck he started year's ago. He pulled it in did a few small thing's to it and drug it back out side. He will get to it again that's a Kustom truck 48-53 body style truck
Lieutenant carry all
@@jeremyhanna3852 i like the name now we need to get it finished
REALLY great job on the fenders. I had my doubts about the rears, but they came out great.
That turned out really good and Pablo knows where the food is. 👍👍😀🇨🇦🐕
Its amazing that body stayed in such good shape for all the salt that it must have seen over the years, i was born and raised in Detroit and in the fifties all the tri- fives would rust Gasser rear wheel cut outs in them, that truck is still all there!
Was not sure I was going to like the wide track look, but that turned out well. Impressed!
Looks way better now with the breathing space around the wheels ..good job my friend
Finishing? A way to go before we see the last of this one, I hope. I would keep this one. Big enough for a mattress and a camping stove for those 'marital' moments... Maybe that's just me. Many thanks, as ever. Entertained and educated. Damn!

Man Halfass, that turned out really nice. Some nice vintage iron at the end.
YAY! Carona and I get to watch another episode after work on a Saturday! I would LOVE to have this panel! LOVED the surprise carshow at the end!
You did a great job on those fenders. Turning that square edge into a nice rounded edge sure made a difference! Love all your videos.
I can hear a big block fuel injected blown Chevy in that panel van...fender look great. The roundness you added was the icing on the cake
You are a man of many talents sir. I was expecting the rear fenders to be just a bit less compliant than the fronts with that convex curve, but they fell into shape really well.

The panel is in nice shape for its age and environment 😎 nice job
You are amazing, there isn't anything you can't do. You do work like I use to. Dive in.

The proportions are right on with the fender lips now. 😎👍🇨🇦
More please,love the running board .
Beautiful craftsmanship
That's awesome and you made it look so easy.
Looks good. The car show was great. Loved the model A Tudor and the roadster pickup. Enjoy
