Awesome COE Cabover SEMA Build ("Big Bertha")

This bagged COE at SEMA 2018, built by Cobblestone Customs, really caught my eye and I wanted to make an awesome, complete build video for all of you to see & Enjoy!
This unique rig started out it's life as a 1955 GM 5400 COE body and was modified into a Firetruck for a small town in the Netherlands. 60 years later, the owner of Cobblestone Customs found the truck and knew he had to do something unique with it. After removing some of the original fire equipment and making this thing into a driveable piece of ratrod art & I gotta say I'm impressed. He named this truck "Big Bertha" and it was a show-stopper at SEMA 2018. It's got a Duramax Diesel & allison transmission. But one-off billet wheels and lots of other add-ons.
Hands down the most unique truck at the show, and the only one that I took any time to video. Hope you enjoyed the build story and that it may help motivate you to get to work on your project!

Absolutely, a unique, unprecedented, unparalleled, unmatched, magnificent, masterpiece of arts and engineering.

[@adamzaidi1748]

This is probably one of my favorite builds of all time.

[@OffTheJacks]

I enjoyed getting to interview these guys! They were really funny! And what a great ride!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Agreed!!! I saw your video off this one too!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Saw this truck on a few different vids from SEMA. Yours is the first i have seen with any history or build images accompanying, which is a real bonus ! Thanks to Cobblestone for sharing it with you... and thanks to you for sharing it with us !

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and commenting. Wanted to make this the best video on this truck!

[@HotRodHippie]

Wish I could have spent more time with this one at SEMA, definitely a cool build.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Agreed! Thank you for the clips towards the end of the video! They were nice. You use a small hand gimble/stabilizer or monopod?

[@HotRodHippie]

@@Tinman2Kustoms handheld gimbal for those shots. No problem, I'm glad to help a fellow video creator.

[@OldIronRC]

Slicker than snot. Very nicely done, different too.

[@BrianS2464]

I hate that I can only like this one time 👍🏾

[@AndysDogHouse]

Now that is a lot of work. Thanks for sharing

[@Burnout.Garage]

He was part of the @Raticalrodbuildoffdriveoff he drove it to sema all the way from Baltimore. The drive off started in Lincoln Nebraska.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Yessir you are correct

[@ScrewheadChava]

Thank you for sharing this with us! This is straight up SICK!!!!! Props to everyone for their hard work and dedication!

[@DougFM]

That's a beaut, Clark.

[@jameshilliard5772]

Very well done. That's one bad ass ride..

[@DJEvillincoln]

I am in awe of this thing. Absolutely gassed. I'd love to know a $$$ sign on all of the work, all in. Phenomenal job.

[@ziggassedup]

Cool.

[@johncunningham4820]

What a WAY COOL build . The Airbrush Rust is phenomenal ! Looks like Original Equipment .🤣

[@1-Six-dee]

Looks so good Idk how yall don't have a show on velocity or motor trend what ever it is called or even discovery much more real talent in your shop that in most of these TV shows

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Hey thanks for the compliment, but I am not responsible for this build. I just wanted to make a nice complete build video for the owner/builder. Cobblestone Customs is the Mastermind behind the build

[@1-Six-dee]

@@Tinman2Kustoms well. Either way man I know what yall put out and it is as good as this if not better! This is impressive

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

@@1-Six-dee thanks man! And I agree this thing is super cool

[@dannybracken6982]

Three words; bad ass van!!!!

[@PredMatic]

1320 brought me here!

[@johnsondml]

Those wheels wow

[@greenmountainsuriving]

Good video Tinman I know the Patina paint trick they do that you talk about its an awesome Idea and am amazed at how many would never think of that

[@gregmock8527]

Awesome job

[@thomaswstorm]

t2k you sound like a fellow fireman with your presentation.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Haha not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!

[@user-pu2cw1cf1g]

Awesome truck,but I've just never been into the old crappie paint,rust look

[@shanehildebrand8255]

Awesome job on this on brother!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Thanks homie! A lot of time into this video, was hard to organize it and make it make sense haha

[@shanehildebrand8255]

I can see that. U nailed it!

[@ronaldodg]

Cool !!!!

[@dmitriyfed4123]

Cool set up!

[@christianbest573]

This truck is living in fairbanks Alaska used at a pizza shop called the hungry robot

[@thesnipesoo7]

Subbed from 1320! Great pick...

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Thanks!!! This build actually isn't mine. Just a really awesome truck I saw at SEMA and wanted to make a build video of!!

[@watchjaredwork1487]

If you go over to WatchJRgo’s channel he has a video riding in this with Chip Foose hanging off the side at SEMA

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Yup I saw that too!

[@irwanwan931]

Nice

[@highwayman2195]

Any Tinmama update? Hope I will see on the road this year.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Haven't touched it in 2 months or so. But been slowly chipping away at some of the video editing. The video editing is such a huge job and so is building the car, so just going slow. Will be on the road by the end of summer for sure though

[@highwayman2195]

@@Tinman2Kustoms Keep it up the good work! See you at next Frankensteiner`s Ball.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

@@highwayman2195 if the weather is nice the car might be there! Trying to limit miles before SEMA though. Want it to be it's absolute best down there

[@goofygolfer56]

Doesn't look like you'd be able to turn it at all with those front wheels tucked in so tightly into the front fenders. Also I think I'd go with a pristine custom paint on the outside over the rusted, abused look. Just my taste & opinion.

[@erikhuijs1045]

He man, can you tell me the name of the song at 2:58? thx

[@TheFarminger]

build in Belgium :)

[@ConsensualThrust]

I'd say that it was a pretty cool build but in my personal opinion I dont like the wheels nor the slammed look. And I kinda hope that the original firetruck build wasn't truly one of kind because if it was then it deserved being preserved in that state instead of being customized.

[@doozerchuck8625]

It's like a cheap replica build of the House of Kolour milk van. Not quite original....

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Not even close.

[@doozerchuck8625]

Umm, it is very close. There is not even an argument there. I mean it is nice work and all but there is no denying the HOK replication.

[@ratfink9205]

You need to get your eyes checked, buddy.

[@gsppuffer]

Man them welds look sketchy

[@fennellmarc]

First

[@hermyherm365]

Bro where the f#%k you been my man ?!?!?!!!

[@alfredodini5315]

Nice build, but i dont like those wheels

[@svcogssvcogs4252]

Fake paint job was well done buy why? Why not make it look good with a nice paint job? Rust doesn't do it justice as far as I felt when I saw you go that way with it. I think you did a great job but ... well you can read what I believe. I don't think I'm alone on this.

[@ryanchase9746]

Love the build, hate the fake ass faux patina bullshit paintjob.

[@52ponybike]

Fantastic, except for the butt ugly wheels.

[@raylarkin5004]

Yuck!

[@notj5712]

Wonder if this guy knows that if you say COE, you don't need to say COE Cabover.... Jesus.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Some people don't know the abreviations so I make it clear. I'm definitely aware of what it means. I own 4 of them lol

[@Taco_Raider]

Great build, music sucks

[@flycam1781]

The diesel ruined that truck

[@twisted8666]

not impressed 👎
