[@oakswamp]

Thanks 👍

[@beecee1235]

I don't believe that I have ever said this before : That is a cool machine. Also, I think I'm a little jealous. Well done. Good video as well.

[@oakswamp]

hahah Thanks mate 👍

[@harleycharley8323]

Beautifully simple and functional! Good parts put together!

[@oakswamp]

cheers

Wow, I've a 93 Discovery V8 that I've wanted to cut up and throw an old truck cab on, for the last two years. Only thing stopping me, is I haven't found a cab. Very cool to find this.

cheers mate ....

Beautiful truck

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate

[@boydsargeant7496]

You did a fab job, and now it’s gone on to a great home, well done Spatch! Onwards and upwards with Ian the Austin 10 Special Rat!

[@oakswamp]

cheers dude , it got me back into it ...no getting out now....hahah

[@petergrayson5616]

Luv it. Now I'll have to watch the build. My buddy Gary build a unit similar to yours and I'll have to get a photo of it and send it off to you. No promises on date tho. Typically he uses his for moving vehicles about the yard ....we've also used it for removing a porch off a home and tearing out timber retaining walls . Never had so much fun using it and pissed ourselves wrecking shit.

[@oakswamp]

hahaha sounds like a tool...cheers dude

[@rickm5806]

I love that truck! Only wish I was close enough to buy it!

[@jamesguthrie889]

[@bushmanPMRR]

I loved watching the build of this and it's a damn cool truck! Is it being sold for a new project? Curious what you'll do next.

[@kenphillips5221]

Jesus wept that's awesome!

[@oakswamp]

thanks,,,

[@Crazy-Constructions]

cool build 🥰 I like hotrods, but there is no place in my garage, so I built one for my living room in scale 2:3 with a Jukebox functionality 😅

[@oakswamp]

Very cool!

[@Crazy-Constructions]

@@oakswamp If you are interested, there is a video on my channel, I wonder what you think about it 😁

[@oakswamp]

@@Crazy-Constructionscool ill have a look 👌

[@Crazy-Constructions]

@@oakswamp I'm looking for people who share the idea of the jukebox, so maybe you'd like to put the video on your community tab?

[@hotrodhouse]

I enjoyed watching you build that, will it come with a two year warranty?😂

[@oakswamp]

Land Rover ? Prob not 😂😂

[@johnkoury1116]

This is so cool. Do you live right on the English Channel? Really cool. I have only seen pictures .

[@oakswamp]

we do ....Southampton! thanks mate

[@johnkoury1116]

@@oakswamp You are the man!! I hope to be up on my feet and starting my channel and the build soon. Someday I'll bring the Morgan back hime and buzz around on the country roads. Hopefully by then I will have built a couple '34 Bugatti's and Bently Blowers...lol

[@oakswamp]

hahahahaha thanks dude.....good luck with all that😁

[@johnkoury1116]

@@oakswamp Thank you Brother. There are so many things to do before even starting a project. There is always that apprehension before the first video. I am sure the first few will not be the greatest editing wise. I always love raw videos where people leave all the little screwups and stuff in. It makes me feel like I am right there with them. Hopefully a lot of other people feel that way also.

[@oakswamp]

@@johnkoury1116 my mate who was quite a successful you tuber told me just one thing when I started this 'be yourself'...thats it, i found it hard talking to a bit of plastic but as people commented that changed ....dont over think it dude ...just be yourself

[@1959BB]

Gwan then, how much?? Not that I need anything else, but gotta ask!

[@oakswamp]

ive said nearest to 10 k ...but its up to the buyer !!!

[@nigelperren2645]

Are you based in Hamble?

[@oakswamp]

Certainly am 😎

[@nigelperren2645]

@@oakswamp alright Man, we know eachother, I've got the Nissan Micra k11 with ratty Japanese flag on the roof, I've been trying to find your channel , you said you had a KZbin channel ages ago when I saw you at the gun in Hamble, I couldn't remember it, and forgot for a while, then some random bloke in Hedge end told me about your channel, he'd said something about the Hound ( my car "The Grey Hound " ) and I said I didn't try to make it look new , I leave it a bit ratty on purpose, any way... I love The channel 😍, I love the Music too, I can play guitar, Banjo and a few other things... I've been keeping an eye out for you because I'm having a bit of trouble with the Black mamba ( my moped) engine, I think it might have a small crack on the bottom end, the top end has 125 lbs of pressure, I was wondering if you could have a look at it, I'm not after favours or charity.. the MOT runs out in the next few days , I can ride it ( 15 mph or so) legally, I only live in Butlocks heath, if it needs welding it wouldn't need to look pretty..

[@nigelperren2645]

@@oakswamp , oh , p.s the only real hurry for me would be legally getting it somewhere without having to use a van or something, it won't matter when I get it fixed as a I have the car

[@tractorhead971]

How much Guv? 💶💶💶🤔

[@oakswamp]

its sold mate...sorry

[@tractorhead971]

Nothing about it I don’t like 👍🏼
