[@user-yp8ky8us3s]

Great video I always basecoat and clearcoat my engines seems to hold up 100 times better than shitty high temp engine paint.

[@LocoCustoms]

Thank you ! And I agree, I usually base and clear my motors. However this customer wanted the single stage paint that he brought.

[@amandahoerster2191]

Merry Christmas you guys from Australia 🦘

[@LocoCustoms]

Ahh awesome! Australia!! Merry christmas❤🎄🎅🇦🇺

[@billywird]

Yes, sir that is a good update on that front suspension and it's quite different to paint the engine another color besides the Chevrolet orange. I do not believe that the Chevrolet orange would be compatible with the color of the truck.

[@LocoCustoms]

Thank you! Glad you like the color. I’m tired of seeing hoods open and it’s the same old Chevy orange. Happy New Year🎄🥳✨

[@billywird]

Yes, sir and I think that in this particular application there would be a color clash with the engine painted Chevrolet orange@@LocoCustoms

[@billywird]

Oh yes and a Happy New Year to Loco Customs as well.

[@GregoryBamber]

There certainly are some rough builders out there.

[@LocoCustoms]

There sure are, Merry Christmas 🎄✨

[@michaelmacpherson-wm6mh]

the original Mustang crossmember .. that's "old school"

[@LocoCustoms]

Yes, love it! Happy New Year🎊✨thank you for watching

[@danielgriffith7694]

I know of 3 street rods that I put original Mustang crossmembers, with my designed strut brace that have been driven all the time, My 36 Plymouth sedan, I personally won best Mopar at Louisville many years ago, I put 147K miles on it! It’s still on the road along with a 42 Chevy in western NY a 33 Plymouth in Southcentral Indiana and his neighbor with a 47 Chevy coupe, still driving around after 40 years 👍👍😱

[@Joe-pb3lx]

Merry Christmas

[@LocoCustoms]

Thank you! Hope you had a Merry Christmas 🎄✨💚

[@blue32nu]

Love the get it done attitude 👍 good steady work makes the project closer to thr Street and closer to enjoying 👍 my personal preference would been the shave but keep the factory beading going thru. Anyway, great work. Edit: commented too early love final product 👍👍 What was the suspension? Coil springs in front and leaves in back? It's the proper daily height in my opinion.

[@LocoCustoms]

Good question- Put a lowered leaf kit in the back and mustang two with coils in the front, rides like dream. And I would agree, sure is the the right daily height. Thank you for watching and enjoying🎄✨ and commenting! We love reading your preferences

[@blue32nu]

​@LocoCustoms I watched the video again, and you said you angled the crossmember 4 degrees along with the tophats, too? So both crossmember and upper mounts are angled at 4 degrees? I thought just the top mounts were just angled and the crossmember level?

[@Joe-pb3lx]

just had lasagna and chocolate cream pie......God Bless US

[@LocoCustoms]

You know how to party🥳🎄💚❤️

[@LawrenceWinterburn]

Some day i want to be wealthy enough to have you build something for me... thinking Willys.

[@LocoCustoms]

That’s awesome!! I love a 40’s Willy’s, let’s get started 🤙

[@LawrenceWinterburn]

@LocoCustoms better give me a few years... 50-100k right? Grey primer pre 40 with modern big tire chassis... I know you can do it!

[@LocoCustoms]

So cool! You can send us pics on instagram: Lococustomslv or email: [e-mail] We’d love to help in anyway when you’re ready

[@geraldparker7008]

Cool just was wondering

[@LocoCustoms]

Sure thing & Happy New year🎊

[@mrgreezy1]

I’m so glad that I’ve seen ur channel… I’ve already learned so much !!! Love all the content !!! You guys do excellent work !!! I’m local in Pahrump and Vegas and my passion is to do this exact kind of work !!! I’ve spent the last several months gathering tools , getting a flux welder very soon.. I would love to see weekly content from you guys !!! I study all the work by people like Mike Bello, Chad Hiltz, Gene Winfield, George Barris, Chip Foose, etc.. if you ever need an extra hand with anything Sanding, prep, please reach out, i would feel privileged to volunteer and simply have an opportunity to be a fly on the wall absolutely !!! Serious love and respect goes out to all of you !!! I also do video and music production if you ever need anything like that as well… I keep up with every channel similar to yours and your channel has tons of potential to do amazing things. Hope to see more stuff asap !!! My dream car is a 64 impala rag, finding one beat up that I can fix up is my main life goal, I’ve done Dj work for years but after 20 years or so it wears on one’s mental health and that’s why I’m changing my path.. thanks for all this effort. I appreciate it. - Greezy.

[@LocoCustoms]

Blown away by your comment. Thanks you for taking the time to write us. So glad we can connect with people like you that are passionate about cars like we are! And that would be awesome, we’d love to have you down! What time period of cars do you have experience with? Thanks for commenting, so glad you’ve been enjoying the content and learning more.

[@mrgreezy1]

@@LocoCustoms I’ve owned (3) 64 chevys, (2)-4 doors & (1) 2 door hardtop (1) 56 Buick special, (1) 74 Buick Apollo and back when I owned them I had zero knowledge about anything, and would become depressed thinking I could never have my car become nice because didn’t know how to do the work never being in a position to hire a shop for anything, I was an idiot and sold them, regretted it ever since. Honestly My hands on experience doing actual builds is very limited. But gaining knowledge on processes is something I’ve been doing for quite some time in regards to metal work, body work, learning materials and the order in which they are used, blocking techniques, knowing the differences inbetween different fillers and primers and their applications, suspension types, frame and suspension modifications etc.. I’ve just never had any opportunity to apply what I’ve studied on an actual build. I’ve been a nightclub professional for well over 20 years and didn’t realize until I took a hiatus how much being in that environment for so long damaged my mental health so this love I’ve had for cars my whole life I’ve now made my main focus. I am knowledged to know things like for example, gussets, fishplates, lightweight versus polyester fillers versus glass fillers, mig versus TIG versus flux, solvent based materials versus water based, pinion angle variations concerning lowered or raised suspensions.. etc.. and I have absolutely no ego, and I would love any opportunity to learn as much as I can absolutely. I’m trying to become proficient enough at enough things to have an opportunity to find myself my 64 convertible and do enough enough work for other people to where I can build up to owning one and possibly excel past the level of success I reached working in nightclubs, which when I stopped 2 years ago I was managing 2 clubs in Portland with a roster of over 40 people at each location, including vendors, contractors etc.. I’ve basically shifted my attention for details to car work because of those reasons I mentioned before. So again feel free to reach out to me at any time, my instagram is @wrongthingz and I’d feel blessed to contribute to any situation. God Bless . 💯 I don’t believe in grunt work, every job is important as it is crucial. Love goes out.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas 🍻🎄

[@dannico58]

Merry Christmas guys

[@LocoCustoms]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well!🎄✨❤️

[@geraldparker7008]

When you smoothed the firewall did you put any braces to stiffen the firewall so it doesn"t flex when braking?

[@LocoCustoms]

Yes, behind the brake booster there’s a steel plate that attaches to the firewall and the dashboard welded and braced very well

[@Daniel-S1]

Thanks from England + what was the reason for not removing the hinges from the vehicle 14:24.

[@LocoCustoms]

I didn’t remove the hinges for the simple reason I didn’t want to lose the original hood alignment. Watching from England!! Thank you so much, happy holidays 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎄✨❤️💚🎅

[@greghapp1681]

Nice job and where are you located, I would like to have you do some work on my project. 36 Terraplane coupe hot rod

[@LocoCustoms]

[@solicitouscomics9478]

Question why 3 degrees what will it help ? and have you thought of using an electric steering Column to keep the bay less cluttered.

[@LocoCustoms]

Three degree helps with the castor of the front end and I haven’t tried an electric steering column but I’m going to. That’s a good eye, thanks for the comment!

[@solicitouscomics9478]

Thank you installing one of these kits on a 68 mustang this is a nice tipe to know.@@LocoCustoms

[@danielgriffith7694]

Was not installed correctly in the beginning. Been there, I’ve installed more than 50 over the years and never had to dimple the frame like that.

[@buchmannray]

Looks great, where's your mask?

[@Daniel-S1]

Do you need one when painting outside?

[@LocoCustoms]

Thank you! Sometimes I wear one, sometimes I don’t

[@user-bh2fq8in6h]
