1951 Studebaker Gasser Part 2

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Epic love how you just get stuck in!

[@rockcrusher4636]

Best channel on you tube, thank you.

[@DennisMurphey]

You are the chopper animal! Cut, Tack, Measure, Cut, Tack, Level, Cut, Tack, Look at it, Weld that baby, roller out! What A GUY!

[@eddbayes2767]

A classic studebaker chopped. Grrrr.

[@ibraunchy204]

That's gonna be a nice ride , Brent

[@rodneyclements6190]

Okay...I'm missing this build already lol. Bring it back Brent!!!!

[@ANOCKS]

Brent the Studebaker already looks awesome. I can just picture it with big rear tires fender well headers and a tall tunnel Ram manifold with dual quads and a nice scoop

[@lawrencephaneuf2977]

Pablo sure likes to cruise!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha yeah that's his thing.

[@robertgallagher7734]

Wish I had known you were doing this- have a 52' Studebaker Starlight Coupe in the garage for the last 20 years. Was planning on hanging a '50 front end on it with a SBC, TH 350 & 8" rear, got side tracked with a wife & 2 kids. Now its a retirement project. Best of luck to you.

[@gyulakovacs1334]

I like your problems solving methods.

[@customowing]

Hey that getting to look like gasser, old school 327 tunnel ram. I had a Doctor Mac that lived two house up from me he got the one with V8 because it was fast to get him to the hospital ..He had the one with the wrap around rear window. that was a cool little car and fast

[@davidmufferi6198]

Dude you are the most creative person that I’ve watched on KZbin and you give me inspiration I’m building a four-wheel-drive 82 Camaro

[@davidsantos8206]

Don't be surprised if this Gasser becomes more popular at car shows/cruise ins, than "the General" Thanks for entertaining us. Looking forward to the next one.

[@Pedroisanickname]

Genius at work here or what? This is just how they did it back in the day, source all your parts from junkyards and then start cutting and welding. Cant wait to see this one bogging! Props for the outro video with Pablo's grinning jowls flapping in the breeze. Cheers!

[@volvobrynk]

With all that epic frame work, that would be so cool as a real Gasser build! Even adding a semi god paint job, a 301 SBC (the best engine Chevy never did) and a stout powerhop, as in the olden days! Maybe even southeastern gasser legal! I really respect he work you are doing here! It’s a pleasure to watch!

[@davidarnette327]

I hate to see an studebaker chopped up, but as rotted as the frame was, making a gasser is actually saving it. Put a powerful engine in so it will never know what defeat is!

[@eddykirksey8698]

Very nice Brent 👌

[@cowfrank]

Love seeing your dog enjoying the ride.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Nice to see Pablo supervising 😍

[@ronlynch7744]

The Stude Dirt Gasser is going to together pretty quick. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@cjplol6589]

Measure with a yard stick, mark it with chalk, cut it with a torch. Love your builds

[@terryarchibald4958]

I like it....I like it alot.....I will be watching this one , and be working on my own. I am currently doing a 50 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe, it was a 2 owner original that I drove it in stock form for around 6 years.....boring.... So I started collecting parts and a couple months ago I started doing it to it...with the help of a uncle on some suspension fab work..the car is being built in a tent in my driveway....and I live in Oregon. So far the new front suspension , 4" dropped tube axle with coil overs and 4-bars, disk brakes and cross steering mount to new frame tubes starting at firewall. Then the rear suspension was installed...first by moving the rear rails inboard, then building a homebrew truck arm with coil overs , then narrowed a dana 60 housing and installed ford torino type axle tube ends and filled it with custom built 35 spline racing axles, a spool and 4:10 gears, this was all done so that the Mickey Thompson 29.5x18.5x15 tires mounted on 15"x15" steel wheels will hang under it....actually I opened the wheel wells so that I can let some of the meat hang out... front wheels are 15"x4.5 American five spokes..going for kind of 70's street freak look , not real high with the very slight nose up look. For power its a 69 327 sbc with a tunnel ram w/2 Holly's and all the other go fast stuff , scatter shield and a 69 Muncie M-22...Rock crusher..trans. And tuat all gets set back 10" in the chassis....on and on...as I come up the cash I then order and install the parts. I will probably not be doing any dirt racing with it...its just going to be used for going to town..... its all about having fun.

[@jayr5331]

Im glad you are building this Studebaker. Really cool car. Its going to be an awesome gasser. All of your projects are amazing.

[@gmc.joesousa4360]

Enjoy watching, and I learned a new trick or two. Thumbs Up

[@davidhenke3585]

I thought trailer springs might work, just before you made that same decision. I'm glad I might be able to keep up you more experienced guys like yourself. I enjoy your projects.

[@N-Scale]

She is looking cool and HOPE to see fenderwell headers on her !!!!

[@captainr.8882]

I stayed in as long as I possible could, after the 13th commercial..... I had to go. Congrats on a GREAT project Choice. A Studey Gasser, it gets no better.

[@steinbauge4591]

come on man, install Brave browser or some adblock

[@jimcollins3411]

I never get adds of any kind on here with Adblock plus . Some videos other that U-tube I have to shut it off for the video only .

[@danielbuckner2167]

Weird... i didnt see any.

[@theoracle5265]

You know I actually like the way the rear fender looks and the stance looks pretty cool

[@torbjornnostdal2999]

I want to see more to the roadster pickup. Regards Torbjorn / Sweden

[@MrRocky1405]

You make some hard to fabricate items look easy - you are truly a workman of MANY talents. I enjoy your explanations of what and how you are doing it - fun to watch!

[@briankinnear7461]

Love the stance....nose up and bullet pointed to the sky. Gonna be a wild looking ride when it's done. Look forward to seeing more work on the panel truck. Be safe and stay well.

[@DjDubStak]

That's gonna be the coolest gasser I've ever seen. I'm really liking that

[@adriandean7815]

Looks great. Best bullet nose I ever seen. Good luck. Jumping projects. Making my head spin. Lol

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha it's summertime so it's easier to flip projects around :-)

[@adriandean7815]

@@HalfassKustoms yep. Understand totally. I live in Sweden. Long winter this year. Just managed to get outside.

[@brucegambill6303]

A guy I knew had one of those that was black and mint with a 6 cyl. 3 speed with over drive. It even had hill lock so it wouldn't roll back when letting out the clutch at the stop light. We drove it all over the place , cruised nice at 70 mph.

[@unclelarryboy1608]

Looks like a tail-dragger P41. Love it!

[@brianfalls5894]

That's going to be one bad ole Stud buster there when you get it done. Looking forward to it!!!!

[@billmiller7138]

Those cars were rotted out in the 60s when I used to play with them (Pennsylvania, lotsa salt) so that one's kinda cherry! I think you got it going good!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha yeah it's not that bad compared to some stuff I work on haha

[@michaelmarusic8499]

👍🏻It’s coming along nicely, like how you said it was a weekend project 😂 Thanks again for the video!!!

[@keithharden7844]

Throw a slant six in it. Uncle Tony would be proud.

[@oldtown6240]

Informative and entertaining - what more can one want? What a great start to a build put together so quickly.

[@keithhill9138]

I'm going to start refering to you as the ONE MAN BAND. Your amazing with what you can accomplish.

[@garymccord4277]

That old Studebaker is really getting a new lease on life. Like how it looks ready for dirt drags. If I had it I would be Proud to have for Yard Art That is as far I would be able to do a project this big. But I know Brent will take it to the end.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha that's always ok also as it's better than in the scrap yard :)

[@stevemustaikis6602]

Looking good on the Stude Gasser build. When I built my gasser frame. where the frame kicked up from the firewall I cut a piece at a angle of the 2x3 tube coming off below horizontal to the new frame. Bolted the spring inside for the rear mount. Used the shackle in the front.

[@HalfassKustoms]

interesting the studes frame I found kicks out in the front kinda making the spring placement weird actually but I'll tackle that better when I get it back in the shop.

[@headhunter4488]

As a little boy,5, that Studebaker model was the first car my Dad let me steer. 3 on the column, and enough room under the hood that you could stand next to the engine. For all I know that might be the car. Love your videos...

[@johnnieours2111]

The wheel arches sure make the ugly back end of a study look a whole lot better. Good job

[@allanimalstaxi]

I love it when you park your different hot rods in the background as you make these tutorials. I am digging all the different time periods of cars you have. I imagine for short people, they could not drive that gasser, they would have a hard time seeing over the hood.

[@stomper2582]

Brent that is one wicked looking gasser. If you raise the front end any higher the door post is going to be perpendicular to the ground. Really like the looks of it. Thanks for sharing. 👍😃👉🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Starting to look good amazing what you can do when you got it in your head just go out and do it and plus if you got all the parts. 👍👍😀

[@timothyfritter6597]

Boy now it’s looking sharp 👍🏻

[@kevinmoore5116]

Nicely done, man I like the way you think then act. Creativity 100%. Cheers mate.

[@automotivemischief.1978jamie]

One mean looking Studebaker, I dig it!!

[@berniebass3575]

Wish l had your energy again, older now, what a drag on my end, keep going all you can ✌️ out.

[@billbly1691]

Love your builds I learned to drive in one of those

[@buckeyejim2989]

Stuck like Chuck. If you still have the Hemi, the Stude would make excellent running stand for it. Looking good Brent🙏😁👍 Steel prices are nuts here too.

[@robertvought7295]

Love that old Studie. Making it live again! 🤙

[@tjeffjenkins6226]

Loving the studley Studebaker!

[@allenthomas2739]

Seeing the vehicles you've vested time into is quite awesome i find the people like yourself doing videos get more accomplished than the average person . I see more satisfaction in your work because you always have a cheap fix repare the music you choose is alot of Fun and you are an amazing mechanic and welder CHEERS FROM ABBOTSFORD BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA 🇨🇦 Thanks For All You Do That's So Inspiring GOD SPEED GETS ER DONE . YOUR VERY MUCH ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO WORD FOR WORD I HEAR YOUR CONFIDENCE THAT'S REASSURING TO ME . YOU AND ALL YOUR OTHER SELVES HAVE A FUN THING GOING REFERRING TO YOUR MULTI TALENTS

[@johnmcgreevy742]

When in doubt, just cut it out LOL!! Metal and lumber sure has gotten expensive! Any who, thanks for the entertainment Brent, most appreciated. Looking forward to the the next episode. I'm with the hemi crowd as well by the way .

[@johnds6621]

Open headers I hope with side discharges. I know I'm getting ahead of things here. Boy I like watching you put stuff together.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha thanks

[@andrewtait8962]

Now that is one hell of a weekend project. All I ever do is cut the lawn.

[@jaymillihan3524]

Love the way you envision it then make it happen. I see many good things but stock '93 ford truck budget lol I see what you see when you first start a build and enjoy the steps you take to get there. Ty for sharing your time with us and I can't wait to see what's in store for future projects on this amazing channel you have created.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks Jay!

[@Carl09of09]

Dig the gasser Bro, looking forward to more on the panel van too! Keep those awesome videos coming! ✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@HalfassKustoms]

Thanks man!

[@donnie2533]

Great video glad you posted keep them coming.

[@arthursmith5409]

Now, that's half-ass bad in an almost complete way. It really looks like a real airplane now, nose up ready to taxi out onto the runway or is that Field-way.

[@not2fast4u2c]

Old 60'S ?? Ford Ecnoline vans had small straight axle and leaf springs

[@frankhartranft2133]

I like it, and I'll like it better when the engine settles that front end down just a little. The look reminds me of the old Henry J gassers we used to see back when. Cool. A dirt gasser. I don't believe I've ever heard of that. Need some monster knobbier for the back and some ribbed tractor tires on the front.

[@ryanmetalfinishing1083]

you always make it look easy. great job! its gonna be a cool ride.

[@sylvainleseur1072]

I like a lot Studebaker. Thanks to share.

[@kenfrazier616]

awesome after the panel please continue do what to see it on the dirt track

[@JazzStrat781]

Those Studes do make a great looking gasser! 👍 will be loving watching your progress on her Brent. Best to you man!

[@fonhollohan2908]

Well I hope we get to see more of this Gasser ProJect come to fruition down the road at least. You've made a great start thus far. cool. Brent.

[@anytractorman]

Looks like its ready to take off!

[@FreeLikeABuzzard]

Love that stance!

[@sammypettit6438]

Here in the south we say it’s stuck like chuck car looks great 👍🏻

[@iwitness0254]

Right on! It's far enough along so that I can "see it" now.

[@shanehack871]

You'll have to invite DD Speedshop out to race with their gasser. Love the stance.

[@garyburchett9060]

Looking at the stars when in launch position.

[@markmckeachnie4484]

Man it really looks fast already

[@leoncolyer9420]

those frames are the same type that Chevy use 👍👍 we removed the front end from the stude frame and used a hk Holden frontend and rack and pinion ! worked out well 👍👍

[@markbrown6236]

Stance turned out great.

[@glennnickerson8438]

I made the same mistake with my Rambler Brent. My springs were from a 61 Econoline and they were really long! Thank goodness my buddy knew more than I did and steered metal in the right direction. I opted for the Speedway spring kit with bushings and shackles for $90.00. Worked out slick. I wanted the nose so high in the air that I couldn't see the road in front of me! Bringing it down a little bit now. When you're done you can race Corey's Henry J!

[@HalfassKustoms]

haha that would be awesome

[@JohnPol]

you have some wild ideas for sure

[@snoopu2601]

The profile looks great👍🏽

[@lochnessfox3441]

Looking great buddy. I like it!

[@markmclellon8516]

Studoodle bug, itty bitty 2 footer trailer springs giv'n the straight axel a hug, hung out on 2×3 steel cuz the old frame's crunchy like a bug. Stude diff out, replaced by one with some clout, nose up n diff down, up front a bullet nose snout. Radiused wheel arches cut, lowered in da butt, she's a roller push her out to the dirt where da grass ain't cut. Studoodle bug nose up in da air, pablo's nose in da wind n ears flapp'n without a care. Pup dog looks happy rid'n with you there!

[@blueeyz2046]

Carona Dawg and I were pleasantly surprised with a new video! Anyone building a Fasser Studie is kewl AF in my book! I REALLY Love how your cars are meant to drive on a "DIRT DAY"! I want to party with you my Canadian Friend! It is So refreshing to see you use what is "laying around" and not ordering a $5000 rearend with disc brakes from Brembo!

[@60chevyjim]

looking cool car all ready you work fast and do great work .

[@franksgarage8551]

Big task for sure. I bought some 2x3 6 months ago. 20 foot stick was $130 if i recall. It was the heavy wall stuff.

[@bobsclassiccarsparts8772]

I am diggin’ the Stude gasser build. Don’t you have a Gen 1 Hemi around the shop somewhere 🤔😎hint hint.

[@donhoughton271]

Good looking replacement Frame 👌 looks good and strong.

[@frankmcnab522]

Brent the stude gasser in my opinion is the coolest and most ambitious since the general always enjoy all your projects and utube videos

[@N-Scale]

The dogs have faith in you brother !!

[@aceadman]

I think it’s a bit high in front for my taste. Not a lot. But a bit. But I already can’t wait til you’re back on it. Man you can really cook. It’s gonna be beeeauuuuutiful. 😊👍👍

[@danielbuckner2167]

It has no engine or trans weight in the front yet too

[@morgansword]

I dig the look of a gasser out of a stu- Bocka and think that as frames go, it might of went easier to just remove from the original frame and set it on even a frame from a nash rambler as the stuff there is as far as I have seen you reach back and save. I like the looks of gassers and loved driving them in the time or day as called. If you pull this one off, then your the god of metals!!! LOL. I would do a total interior delete as it looks like more died inside than can ever say lived in one for some time... good luck Brent

[@HalfassKustoms]

Yeah interior delete will come yet haha

[@lawrencephaneuf2977]

Stance looking good

[@johnnysmith9041]

I have to admit, the jalopy cap was perfect. Maybe Dead End Kids from the forties. Perfect hat for that car

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Sure has an aggressive stance looking sharp Brent.

[@toddneumann4775]

I recall a certain Hemi running on a stand a while back. Anything cooler then a Hemi powered gasser Stude with Zoomies? This is a great distraction piece to your other projects. Awesome video!

[@volvobrynk]

Maybe a belt driven intake, with 6 Stromberg 97s

[@stevef.m.2188]

It looks fast sitting still ,Thanks Halfass Kustoms

[@davidsolloway9349]

This is almost as good as the General ! It will be a blast to drag on the mud
