1938 Pontiac coupe hits the road!

In this video we take the 38 Pontiac out and do a shakedown to find out what's all wrong with the car, over all its a win but the headliner is still a fail, fuel gauge doesn't work and find out the gearing in the diff is junk.

Very few people are as confident as you are moving from mechanical to fab work to paint and body and interior. It's a pleasure watching you utilize your skills.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Ken!

[@alanhicks3361]

Agree 100% nice to see someone else who is prepared to just get on with it and be prepared to fail but win by learning what one does wrong . I actually am looking for the same car to do myself. I love the way it looks. the only thing I will do differently is widen the rear fenders

[@miketodesco6915]

Brent, thanks for helping me pass the time during the pandemic, I am in awe of your ability to get it done. And what a great job. Proud to be a fellow western Canadian.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks for watching!

[@donbearden1953]

It’s so cool! Looks like a gangster or moonshiners car. Setting low in the rear like it’s got a load of shine in the big ass trunk! I love it!!!!

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

Or a load of bodies from town to dump... Haha..

[@martinwatters2729]

Last time THAT old poncho drove down the road the Chief was not as cool as it is NOW.AMAZING.

[@jamesruffner5291]

Thanks Brent for all hard it turned out great, love it,I,am sure you busted your knuckle a few times on that beautiful ride, the double birds was cool thanks for allowing me to be a part of your build.

[@WoundedBear2k]

Thank you for this series. You have no idea how much you have helped us with our 36 Dodge build. And hello from Alberta.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Cool, glad I was of some help haha

[@murrayandru7527]

[@rickashay6023]

Love the drone shots on the gravel road with no buildings in the view, looks like a movie from the 30s so cool .

[@mikemullay5622]

Man, that thing looks like a shine runner if I EVER saw one!

[@buckeyejim2989]

Awesome job on the poncho.👍 Loved the build. Thanks for sharing man👊😎👊😎👊😎

[@JazzStrat781]

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Joseph

[@homermaner8820]

I have watched the whole car coming together and it is awesome to me , i never commented until now . My man you are awesome to me and your cars / trucks are wonderful . God bless !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IronheadGarage]

Car looks really cool man looks like it's right out of the 50s going to get a lot of looks great job.👍👍👍

[@marcijunebug]

Great video as always man! Your humor through it all! Good stuff👍

[@tonygayheart3049]

Glad I got to witness this thing being built. I subscribed to your channel right about the time you started on chopping the roof and have watched every video along the way. Very interesting and informative. Car looks incredible.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Tony for checking it out.

[@alteredstateskustom]

Looks badass! You never fail to impress..... And always on point with the stance!

[@justinbennett4241]

Looking exactly how I would have done it. If I had the skill, time and perseverance!! Lol. Awesome job Brent. Really enjoyed watching the whole process. Can’t wait to see what you’re up to next.

[@johnmaher9917]

Perfect chop ! Sits nice on road , Looks killer .. Ain’t he neat !

[@captainlandyacht1328]

Fantastic! Keep it up, and I'll keep watching.

[@jamesinkeys]

Looks super cool...Like to see some rear fender skirts for the classic cruiser look...Art Deco masterpiece!!

[@awesumenergy]

You didn't land the drone very well (end of video) but you sure landed the look on this amazing car! Thanks for bringin' it to us!!

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

Cool car. I especially liked when you set the headlights back as it mad e such big difference in the look. Hey, its a work in progress but at least you get to enjoy it, driving it around. Thanks for sharing.

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Brent. There's nothing like the smell of 80-W-90 in the morning!

[@stephensmith2983]

Hey Brent tuning in from Glasgow Scotland, love the Pontiac and your work 👍

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Stephen!

[@garymccord4277]

You have more ability than most on keeping your cool when things go wrong. Such as that bummer with the rear end and fuel gauge fix and redo on headliner Love how you just keep on keeping on. Like the drone video.

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha not much one can do other than trooper on and try and get er done :)

[@adman6380]

Very cool Brent, well worth all the work

[@Chevyv8man1]

She's looking great. You did a fantastic job on this car and it must feel great going down the road. She still needs something on the trunk to fill in the area but I can't say what. If you pin strip it, it would need a big pin striping and I don't think that would work. Can't wait to see how you're going to figuring that one out, if you do anything at all with it. Love the stance, and the total look of the ole girl. Great job on this and I love it. Later.

[@henrygibson1530]

Well I seen your video this morning but had a few things to do. Now that's one cool custom like it. To bad about the issues you had but gotta fixed now. Take it out and enjoy. ☺️

[@joeg4483]

That turned out sweet ! Love it . Hope you get lots of cruise time

[@BriggiPete]

... fine project - thanks for sharing

[@rodneyclements6190]

It looks really cool Brent!! Maybe a trip to the pinstripper for some trunk, fender, and hood art, but that would be about it for me. Cruise it out bro!!

[@shanewright6958]

She turned out sweet. Great job and video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@mikeycunningham2307]

She's one beautiful car Brent you did an awesome job and she looks so mean goin down the road I just love that car take care and stay safe and stay blessed see you in the next one

[@peterhodges6684]

[@kentowens2179]

[@koolkar55]

"LOVE IT" Brent. what an awesome machine Mate. You are a genius. Bill J...... Australia..

[@doylehodge7906]

Good afternoon. I just had the same problem with the ford 8.8. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

[@HalfassKustoms]

crap eh haha this one wasn't as bad as the one I broke in the Buick last year though.

[@michaelleabeter4449]

Just love the way you put that hot rod together with all your parts from all over the place it looks fantastic you could send it to me in western Australia one of a kind regards Michael

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha I think that it being all modified you would have a hard time getting it on the road out there

[@robbieautrey3158]

Nice job on the video Brent, man that thing looks killer cursing down that gravel road. Looks like it was taking straight out of the 50's, the stance is just dead on...

[@highspeednoblesgarage3152]

Solid ride my friend. Looks good!

[@koonings1]

Super job, well done and the result is fantastic!!!!!

[@peterjdo]

Wow ! She looks awesome, the proportions are just right . Cool ride 😎👍

[@hookshotrods7161]

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

Love this sleek and long coupe. Nice job. Amazing the amount of work your capable of

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Gerry

[@ericj.s.4392]

An excellent project! Now to sort out the details... Keep safe!

[@stevef.m.2188]

So very nice and you make it look easy to do ,Great videos

[@kennethpeek2474]

Car is stunning. Love watching u work . You can't leave that head lining like that. I suggest u use a sheet of colourful fabric, sew some slips into it to allow you to thread canes through. Fix the canes at each end to the roof so that the fabric is suspended from them as they did in the old days. Then u will not see all those lumps and bumps on the roof showing through.

[@indyme2]

Congratulations on the first drive!

[@butchwittstruck4478]

A very nice cool ride-thanks for ur vid

[@gilbertfranklin1537]

Even when it is sitting still, that car has ATTITUDE! 😎👌

[@scottlambert9008]

[@williamoliver8883]

Damn, all in 6 months! You’re one very talented Man Brent. I dig that ride! And you didn’t spend a shit load of money.

[@HalfassKustoms]

[@andya857]

What a fine looking automobile, reminds me of a Bugatti Aero , fantastic..Kudos my man ...

[@diggerspeedshop80]

[@DDSpeedShop]

Nice shirt! Haha. Cars looking good man

[@OwenFromOhio]

I love this car... you know it all looks so nice say for the rear bumper, at one point you mentioned turning if over and it could use a shine too.

[@jkirk0750]

Love your car. Glad to see it driving

[@1982kinger]

Simply stunning Pontiac bro!!

[@tonybennett5377]

So good to see the Pontiac on the road Brent.

[@davidg3376]

WOW! I watched this vid twice cuz it's SO amazing! Can I trade this for my '64 Grand Prix pleeeez. Seriously, you did a fantastic job..you're an artist! (& luved seeing the dogs peek around the corner)

[@mikenicholas8969]

Hope you never have that problem again, but if you do try a left handed drill bit. It worked for me. Love your channel.

[@karltite128]

Do it to it! Great build. Double finger gesture for good measure. Good day.

[@davidconley3610]

Awesome Brent!

[@glennnickerson8438]

Good job Brent! Have really enjoyed the build, hate to see it finished (some what). My problem is I get a car on the road and I never finish up the little things. My coupe has been on the road for 30 yrs and I never bolted down the seat and I use a bungee cord to hold down the decklid. Maybe someday...

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha I think I would have to bolt my seat down.

[@hemibreath]

The 2 finger salute “priceless”

[@desertlobster908]

Man, I wish you would have done something with that Meteor & the cool space-age dash.

[@rwruther]

Beautiful car, looks good on the road just sitting there.

[@dayslife]

when a project is done, we look for issues to keep on wrenching on those rainy days . .lol

[@AndysDogHouse]

Good morning Brent. That is a cool dash. They made things with some class back then. Just when you get things together, you have to take them apart. I do that all the time. But I have to take it apart again because I did it wrong the first time.😠 Wow Brent, that is a cool car.🤘 Thanks for sharing.

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha same deal, nothing's perfect but it works for me :)

[@AndysDogHouse]

@@HalfassKustoms As long as the builder is happy, all is good.

[@markcassidy5883]

Just catching up with this series of videos right now,,, brilliant work and a wonderful looking car,,,oh,,,and the music is fantastic as well,,where do you find it

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha budy was storing it at my place and I kept bugging him to buy it

[@rafipr6165]

Looking good! Enjoy!!!! 😎👍

[@shotsrodder]

Oh she looks cool tooling down the road 😎 sweet 👍

[@robertkeyes2654]

One beautifully styled automobile. Can't beat those body lines!

[@mikemullay5622]

Nothing like listening to a Hammond organ while you work. Nice.

[@davehoneycutt9558]

nice build coooool ride
