BUMPSIDE MEGACAB Part 7: The cab gets a roof skin

[@terresiagregg]

It's awesome the work you are doing

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

Thank you!

[@shawngroover9003]

The center section on each side between the doors, from below the roof to the bottom looks like an upside down bell 🔔 with handle. That’s really cool.

[@paulflores7904]

I was going to suggest cutting an 8-10 inch section out of the rear and using the rear of the van roof. So it came down to a flat like the front. Does. Love this project. Keep up the work.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

The roof rack and the F600 front clip for the win! Do it!

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

1 ton chassis. F600 front clip. F600 bed flares on lwb bed. Wagon roof rack. Slammed stance n semi rollers 22/24. That's the plan.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

@@HalfMoonCustoms that will be cool. It would be even cooler if you had the bucket seats and console from a 70s Bronco for the front seats.

Awesome project guys. Keep up the good work!

Good luck with the channel. It just shows that you don’t need all those fancy tool to do good work.

[@magicman_metal_fab]

Absolutely love it!!! Like it was meant to be bud. Btw I’m looking for a unibody 😁. Those roof lines are gonna look sweet. I’m diggin your build. 😊🤙🏻 will absolutely help out once that link is up.

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

I love a unibody. I spotted a big back window uni today. I will be back to inquire about it!

[@magicman_metal_fab]

@@HalfMoonCustoms keep me posted bud. 😊

[@unclejessiesrodshop8432]

I went with a 90's van roof that has the ribs below the roof line on my crew cab, sometimes I wish I would have gone with ribs that go up like the roof you used. Either way it blows people away when you show them the roof.

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

I really wanted to use a panoramic sunroof. We laid the van roof on though and it fit really good. It's a lot of work. The strip down the sides where we used the roof patches was one of my biggest worries on this whole project. The roof makes a bend at that point and the van roof is more rounded off. I didn't want the rounded top on ours.

[@unclejessiesrodshop8432]

@@HalfMoonCustoms It is a LOT of work indeed. You guys are doing a great job.

[@PyroModder85]

I'm looking at this truck and thinking to myself "man that's a lot of empty space between the doors. . . Opera Lamp Housing for a hearse would be perfect to put in there!"

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

On the outside of the B pillar? Or you mean for the inside?

nice guys ✌️

[@shawngroover9003]

Whatever running gear that You fellas go with, please consider adding a Gear Vendors overdrive. For 3 grand, You get 3 more gears without a computer. Find one on eBay and save that much more. Can be added to automatic or manual trannys.

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

Some overdrive would be nice no doubt. The budgets not endless on this one though. I will be happy with a decent 60mph cruising rpm.

[@shawngroover9003]

@@HalfMoonCustoms Thanks for the reply ! eBay, Craigslist, etc. might be the way to go at a future point, if not this one for such a thing. Just food for thought. That much is free.

[@rustyhenry3692]

Yall need to do some content of that mustang sitting back their kills me staring at in in back ground would love yo whatch it come around

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

Thanks we have been lacking on the editing process. The mustang will definitely be built this year. It's hard to be motivated when the shops cold lol

[@rustyhenry3692]

Yes sir I understand that our shops cold too where in town and ishurance won't cover us if we use a wood stove lol so a little propaine heater all were running it'll knock the chill down alittle and that helps but definetly not comfortible I hate being cold worst feeling ever

[@blue68yellow73]

That cut off wheel is no joke. But if you are going to use it keep the blade on the outside of your body that way nothing is in the path of flying pieces if it breaks. Also check out Fitzee’s Fabrications he has some great videos on metal working

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

I've been catching up on fitzees fab videos. Thanks for mentioning him. He does some great work and his recent video on fabricating a drip rail from scratch is golden for this project!

[@DatBoiOrly]

2:38 i'm pretty sure the copyright system has changed to a region based system so if your content is OK in the US but isn't like china or the UK it'll instead block countries that it infringes to those specific countries than completely removing them with a copyright strike since copyright and fair use differs per country/region. ALSO you can play copyrighted music theres 2 options A).pay the licencing firm that owns the music you like which can range from $12 a month to $25 B). use the YT built in system that takes a part of your revenue Mike Russell did a video on this called "how to use copyrighted material legally on KZbin" hopefully this helps

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

That certainly helps. I've been trying to familiarize myself with the regulations on this platform. I appreciate the info.

[@magicman_metal_fab]

Btw I’m scared of a 4 inch cut off. Y’all are crazy using a 7 inch. 😳🤣😂

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

Oh it's sketchy! Got a stomping deal on a pack of 10 though and couldn't pass it up with as much cutting as we have ahead of us.

[@markmurray2615]

What year was the donor van? I have a 78 Crew cab I've been working on that needs a roof and haven't found a van roof I thought would match up but that looks perfect!

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

It's a 1978 e250 club wagon. The van roof is a flatter profile compared to the truck roof. The truck has a body line that runs down it on the side . I've seen several crewcabs repaired with a van roof by clipping the cab roof off at the pillars, I don't like this method because it changes the roofline and gives it the flatter looks. It's more work to do it the way we are but it retains the stock bodyline the trucks have. We're using the 60inch crewcab roof patch panels that LMC is now selling. These arrived damaged and had to be straightened for us to use. The aforementioned bodyljne is also not in the patch panels. I'm hammer forming that line into these patch panels. There will be more about that process in a later video.

[@markmurray2615]

@@HalfMoonCustoms Thank you for the response. Love the project and didn't know LMC was selling those now. I'll definitely be ordering some of those patch panels. I've been hand making panels for it so far but would be much easier with some premade panels that are at least close. keep up the good work.

How did you get away with playing music in the back ground?

[@HalfMoonCustoms]

I think there's a certain percentage of copywriten material thats acceptable. It's not played throughout the video and it's not the focus of the video. Testing boundaries wasn't my intention. Just forgot you could hear it while filming. Working in the shop without jams sucks!
