Metal forming with Mike looks so freekin' easy but we all know it's an artform and takes a real master craftsman to make, fit and weld panels like this. Love the videos Steve!

[@danhumphrey5755]

I'd just like to thank 'Steve' for capturing and organizing the moments and for Mike keeping it real and funny while giving a clinic on metalwork. THAT's why you reached 50K. Congrats! I know it wasn't easy.

[@joshuabuxton7502]

Badass work Homie

[@garywilloughby6893]

Wow I didn't know how the back glass panel was going to attach to the roof.. This solved and answered my many questions on this part.

[@russellrobinson4202]

Awesome 👌 👏

[@charlessexton4267]

Keep it coming 👍👍👍

[@billylorece]

Looking good man. I enjoy your work siempre wey!

[@joewolf4483]

Never gets tiring ... one of my favorite sites on Sunday morning ...

[@g-man7938]

Really improved the stance. With the quality of your work you should already be at 100,000.👍

[@waynethomas1882]

The chop top whisperer… just another work of art…

[@n.songhee]

Hey…because you are so good at what you do a lot of people don’t realize how much work goes into kustom cars. Never cease to amaze Mike!! 🤩 Big Steve, the videos are on point. Love the shots and editing! Keep it going man! 💪🏻

[@doggieda2557]

Love your "I'm just a guy doing what I do and you may do it different but this is how I do it" attitude. Great to watch and learn, keep it up!😎👍

[@SamRalls-ti1be]

I've been watching you for a long time. I cus like a sailor, but, I gotta say, since you knocked off a bunch of the F bombs, and started showcasing your talent....whole new world. The quality of your work, your skills, and your imagination are second to NONE. Some of the one piece, compound panels you create are amazing. Keep showing them what quality really is. Great post.....PS.....really good videographer too. Keep it up.....just an old Gringo's opinion.

[@barneywing9876]

Amazed at how you can turn a flat piece of metal into a curved piece that is the exact shape of the body panel.

[@alseidel5622]

What we are witnessing thru the lense work and editing of Steve is the Mastery of Mike Bello. Art at its finest. Thank you and congrats on 50k glad I am one of them.

[@steveturgeon1081]

👍 Big Steve

[@stevefrewin3026]

Watching your videos really sheds light on how much of what you do is art. Love what you do.

[@snoopu2601]

Mike is a good thing to give us a reminder to comment because some time's we get caught up watching you do your magic we just get caught up watching and forgetting to thumbs up and commenting. Of course we like your work and how it's looking. Thanks Steve for your camera work and everyone at BELLOS kustom works.

[@msethhunter]

I never used to be a fan of this style of build until I started watching the work you do Mike. I wish I had the time to do what you do.

[@mccornchip]

Congrats Mike! Glad y’all got some Barbecue!

[@coffeebean5975]

Few people have the opportunity to have a Ranfla chopped the right way by an artist like Mike. Talented Dudes like Mike and old school bombs are becoming more rare these days. Whoever is the owner, enjoy and appreciate your Ranfla, it's looking badasss.

[@garrettbright6586]

I love this channel! Unrivaled custom fab content, great banter, and just getting it done. Other channels spend 90+% of the time talking about what they’re going to do and the rest actually doing it. Excellent!

[@johnny535is]

Again, some of the best camera work showing Michael's great talent at work . Sunday mornings with Bellos customs and coffee is the best !

[@user-vo9ge7cj7u]

I wait every week for your video to drop to watch a master at work and to hear the white guy voice explaining it, lol.

[@saulflores8050]

The art of custom is a love of the trade. When both turn out you get a masterpiece.

[@rlp2806]

Mr Mike, you are the real deal, true artist/craftsman in the car culture!! Great camera work, camera man ! Great editing too !

[@topseyturvey7992]

Mike & Sam thanks for taking time out of your day to say hello to my son's Marco and Angel! They really enjoyed checking out your shop. Much appreciated Lokochons from Colorado!

[@snoopu2601]

That's great to get the younger generation into shop work what ever they want to do it's a good thing your showing them young.

[@topseyturvey7992]

@@snoopu2601 thanks! We have a 1968 firebird not exactly what Mike builds. However Mike has been a great resource for us restoring our old car! He is awesome!

[@giacsarar]

Seriously legit !!!

[@joselobo7148]

Buen laburo Mike!!! Cuando un asado argentino en el taller?

I love the creativity in your work every time there is something new keep it coming and good luck

Come on Mike!!! Bring us some more content, you slacker, you get us hooked on your metalworking, need more!!!! You got the best channel on KZbin!!!!! Good job buddy, hope you hit 100 thousand viewers soon!!!

[@leebyrne2647]

I am an electrician, I love watching your videos because it's like watching real magic with a touch of Voodoo thrown in. Thank you for making these videos!

[@user-fb3bn8ci9x]

Magic! Brother and I can't wait for the next video. We tell all our friends with old cars here in North Carolina about what you do and they all are watching now. When we hook up you always get talked about. Keep up the great work. Thanks for all.

[@terrymott8581]

New Subscriber, can't get enough of this channel a true artisan.

[@N-Scale]

I don't like it Mikie , I LOVE IT !!!

[@larry77117]

I was in a terrible mood this morning. I even gotten a fist fight with a guy that lives here at the same property as me, but when I turned your show on it was nice and calm happy working on cars and it definitely helped me with my time out to feel better. I appreciate you Brother.

[@Dono-eg6cg]

Hey Mike! I love sitting on the couch watching someone else work...lol. just kidding..I'm definitely subscribed

[@lamarwade2753]

Nothing but perfection! Thanks Mike and Steve!

[@meganmilesreidmeganmilesre7372]

You the man Mike, thanks for sharing!!

[@johnpaice8481]

Wow Mike I just love watching u work no fuss no drama just outstanding understanding of the art of metal shaping, also loving Steve's new time-lapse with music , brilliant just brilliant u guys ....thankyou !

[@bjstann3864]

Bello's Kustoms is the best on KZbin! I watch every day. Even episodes I've seen a dozen times, I still watch. There's always something to pick up, and the videos are pure entertainment. Thanks Mike!

[@oldwillie313]

Great work! I had a 51 business coupe like that in the mid 60's but it never looked as great as this with the hard top and chop!

[@Dagrond]

Your camera work / edits really tell a story well. Enjoyed that, as well as watching Mike work his magic as always.

[@paulthompson8642]

Thank you start a great day

[@cannonrain7060]

Mike, love your work and funniness!!! Always look foward to see what your projects are!! Keep being you!!😊👍🏼

[@RS-qp4bp]

Sir.... "funniness" i not a word. LOL

[@cwbracing1916]

Master Mechanic mike putting in the work.

[@byronnickels1704]

I can watch you build cars for hours and never get tired of it.

[@donwoolley1811]

If this was 3 hours long I'd still hang on every minute. There are many "tribes" in this car passion, THIS one right here is mine. What a team you guys make.

[@user-he9vn9cr7f]

Always a great watch love your work . Cheers to all the team there and big Steve .👍

[@BigJoe_Mosqueda]

51.1K subscriptions - there's definitely a reason for them - informative, entertaining, the high level of talent displayed as well as personality..... In my opinion, there's only a handful of fabricators with your skills and quality of work. Thanks for your KZbin channel 👊😎

[@jimdandy2275]

Beautiful work Mike. I may have said it before but I truly admire your fab skills. You work the metal like butter. Big Steve, another winner here. Nice combination of shot angles, audio and background tunes. Production perfection. I'd watch these every day of the week.

[@craiglatham8903]

Man what can you say, Mike is so knowledgeable about this old school rides. Man makes you laugh while metal working and always ggggg money fits like a glove… what’s for lunch!!

[@JerryColwell-yj1cc]

Some of the best fabrication I have ever seen

[@edwinmantanona9361]

Man I would call in late just to watch a new bellos Kustoms,updates. Wish it was longer, I'll make it my bellos Kustoms, holiday. Got some of my boys addicted to watching mike😂 need more calapila, he remains us the Oldman every shop like to pick on,😂🤙

[@bingus3582]

Always look forward to your weekly videos. Keep up the great work 👍

[@RobertKelleners]

Yeeaah my mike is back again. Loving everything you do man. Keep up posting those awesome films. 🎉💪🤙

[@justanoldman697]

There are custom body men on KZbin and then there is Mike Bello. You rank right up there with the guys in Europe who do the Ferraris and Aston Martins. Having a full fab shop helps too obviously but your humor and wisecracks make your videos a pleasure to watch.

[@NativeSteel-dl2wb]

Damn that thing looks good Mike never disappointed here when I'm watching the master at work.

[@stevevandermeer1958]

I think Steve the camera man is also a very talented man. He gets some fantastic shots and angles, like putting my own face right next to the work you are doing. You two make a good couple. Both are artist at your craft. Love it!

[@jimlyreman5869]

Awesome! You are the man! Beautiful work!

[@rrendonx]

Great chop job. I can't wait to use the information I learned to chop my 50 Chevy and convert it into a hardtop. I hope my chop comes out half as good as yours.

[@davepatrick7848]

Mike wishes he knew what he was doing, Jefe you're the maestro de Metalliaros and the love and joy you bring to the craft is very inspiring. I guess I'm a vato loco! Thanks, big Steve for the great video work. ❤😊👍💪😎

[@oldblueshhrchannel1847]

Great job Mike, nice chop job! I’m done my chemo, now I start a 5 week radiation treatment schedule! Wish, I could get over to the west coast, see some of your cars in person, maybe some day after my tumour is removed! Locochon homme!

[@PeterModig]

Du är inspirerande. 👍

[@JefferyValstaz]

Excellent chop technique. Makes it look like I could do it in my own garage

[@si_vis_amari_ama]

Always happy to make an effort to give a 👍 thumbs-up 👍. Its saying "thank you!" for the video.

[@algerc.5492]

A religious metal experience every Sunday with Big Mike, keep it going and growing, been watching since about 6,000 nice to see you hit the 50 G milestone ....

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

50k is just the beginning Mike. The sky is the limit for you. Congrats 🎉

[@jameslavery6216]

God bless. You're awesome.

[@hilalkuday5624]

You are a one-of-a-kind creator, crafting masterpieces with your incredible experience and talent, able to see the end result from the beginning. I have one serious request: please use long gloves when you are TIG welding. TIG welding emits a lot of radiation that can cause serious damage to your precious hands and skin. I admire your work, brother.🙏🏼

[@raymondantonio4145]

Always enjoy spending my Sunday mornings watching you do your metal magic Mike! Love the side view shot where you see the roof all done, man that looks bad ass! Nice work Mike!

[@blackgtx]

I don’t understand why you don’t have 5x more subscribers, Bello’s has some of the best content on KZbin…

[@michaelbristol6467]

Because sometimes they don't have a video for a month. People need consistency. These days with technology (internet) people have short attention spans. You gotta keep them entertained or they disappear and move on to something else. IMO 😉✌

[@michaelbristol6467]

I agree with you tho he's 1 of the best I've ever seen! Clean clean pinky ring.👍

[@superiorsteeljack]

Big Steve!!!... what's for lunch? lol

[@tommythompson2630]

Awesome job Mike! Your level of craftsmanship is incredible, even though you don’t know what you’re doing 😂😂😂. Big Steve, editing and camera work are the best,keep it coming brother.

All the other KZbin shows I watch release every week, same day, same time, if we can get to that y’all should hit 100k or more in no time !!! Love goes out !!! Locochons matter every Sunday !!!!! 💯💯💯

[@nowrist]

That's the labor of love right there! Nothing but perfection.!!! Big Mike with the beauty shot ! Yay yay

[@FrankAustinLowney]

You have the "eye" for compound curves. Not everyone can think ahead in 3D as you do without years of practice.

[@fitzeesfabrications]

I heard your name over the years and seen the work. It's cool your doing a channel now and we get to see the style of work you do. I always said there are many ways to do a job right. It's the difference ways that make us unique. Fantastic work and it's the little details I look for and see. I say you be a fun guy to work along side. Always some to learn.

[@randymetts6607]

Beautiful! Thanks to you and Steve and the young fellow for all your hard, exacting work!

No plans, no computer renderings. Just pure talent, vision and ability. And experience. If this project came with instructions you couldn’t do it.

[@pierremarcoux886]

Just pue Locochon good suff man...

[@ScottWorley-xl8db]

The Chevy was cool when you drove it in the shop, but after the chop and removing the post. It totally changes the look, to badass. Oh, and a ton of work. Attention to detail. Great Work👍

[@TwoFeathersFarm]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Mike is an artist with metal and I have to give Big Steve a shout out for the editing and production quality. Two artists at work.

Hey Guys, let's share the shit out of this channel. Mike deserves 500k Subscribers. This is the real thing!!!

[@carlclevenger9759]

For someone that doesn’t seem to know what they’re doing I think you muddle through nicely. Especially like it when you cut and butt. Turns me on lol Love the humor and the attitude. Just remember what you think is mundane and boring for the most part is interesting to us. Keep on keeping on.

[@bondobilly1315]

Fantastic job on top chop. Love watching a real craftsman. Watch all your videos over and over.

It's so enjoyable watching masters of an art form who despite doing it for years still love what they do.... Thanks Mike. You too Steve for bringing this to us.

[@johncook673]

Blinding the skills and the humor makes for an amazing watching experience. I appreciate the attention to detail and the comic relief at the same time. A true artist at work.
