Chopping the roof and reshaping the door tops of our 36 Dodge Coupe p7

[@coherantbliss3483]

Brent you're showing your skills again...and teaching self-confidence too. Thank you, my hat's off to you again!peace.

[@Vaino_Hotti]

The mad scientist is cooking up something again, and it's gonna be good!

[@brianhaw9398]

The first 4ish minutes you had me scratching my head. Then I was only lost for the next 20 minutes or so, then when you made a few more pieces and filled in the holes with paper I think I finally understood your direction. You have so much confidence when cutting parts and panels! I'd be crapping my pants! Good work!🇨🇦👍

[@dennisbjones]

Yeah, you just have to tell yourself to stop it. Sooo many times, Brent has seemingly wandered off on some odd tangent but without fail he's nailed it when you see the final product. He just keeps building cool shit.

[@danielhughes9556]

Couldn't have said it better myself...

[@MrMadkaw400]

I agree with you about moving the back half forward

[@WingmanJohnny]

It's your vision. Doing fantastic. Love all the fabrication. Keep up the great work

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Really enjoying this build Brent keep it up.😀😀

[@patrickharrand]

The look on Pablo's face @ 30:12 when Brent says "it's only metal" Priceless.❤👍👍

[@RedHotChilliMe]

Looking much better now . Such an awesome build 🎉🇬🇧🥇🧐

[@jackrichards1863]

Proportion looks really good to me. Once you tidy the centre valance. It has a kinda topollino style I think they were. Funny car. HOT Rod!

[@garymccord4277]

I would have already quit, But I could not do the kind of work it takes to be an artist and the skills to see and preform such task. I have faith in you Brent and it will look great.

[@jasonnoteboom4489]

It’s shaping up pretty nice. I dig the longer look, basically, leaving the rear wheel arch to roof line as it sits. Especially with a front end that’s like a straight 8 length nose, if that makes any sense. Took me a bit to see what you were imagining, but throwing the paper up there made it make sense. Can’t wait to see how this turns out!

[@brucewrandol]

I have never wanted to leave anything stock all of my life. My mother said I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I like the way your mind works. I was a CO2 laser operator. Cutting metal with light was very interesting to me. Always a gearhead at heart.

[@shawnchartrandva3gfy720]

Nothing!!!!!!!!! is a big deal when your talented like him. it's all just work aka labor of Love.

[@dadedubbledee]

I just love the process the Armadillo is shaping up nicely Brent lol. Hey ya can't bake a cake without breaking eggs lol. I loved the paper trick too helps too visualize for those who struggle to picture things.

[@autojumbleusa]

I like you show the mess ups and the fix, rust ect. Great work so far. 👏

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Yup, I'd section the rear end forward to match the rear wheel well with the back of the roof section. That will bring it all into proportion and avoid that Zephyr look like you ended up with on the Pontiac. Lots of work, that is for sure. It is definitely taking on the chopped 35-36 Ford 3 window profile. Thank you for taking us along. The entertainment is much appreciated as well as educational.

[@JM-sb4nb]

Best entertainment on KZbin. Somebody like to play with metal. Some fellows make a hold series out of simple roof chop. Brent does this in 2 mins . This is art work in action. Like watching a painting being developed one layer at a time.

[@aceadman]

Have to reiterate what I’ve said many times. Watching Brent work is a true pleasure for me. I LOVE how he shares so much of his THINKING and planning. Many channels show the work without really the thinking behind it. I really enjoy listening to him work it all out! Thank you as always Brent. This one is beating you up a little bit, but it’s great on this end! 😊👍👍

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

I like that double safety of eye protection 😂😂.4:35 Great job 👍

[@gregquante8864]

These are some of my favorite videos. I love hearing you talk about your vision and then making it happen. Very impressive!!

[@winstonsears6293]

This is turning into my favorite build for many reasons. First being a fan of all things Mopar. Second starting from Mopar waste and going to three window coupe is more than an advanced project. Third you have the vision of how it needs to look and can pull it off. On the edge of our seats.

[@maxadrian]

All makes sense to me! Love your method. Thanks for sharing your thinking process. Really fun to see your ideas come into focus.

[@jeffmoore5101]

You sir are an artist when it come to chopping and fitting!!!!

[@leonanderson4727]

You wouldn't think Chopping would be so much fun. In addition, it seems the end product is made through expertise and experimentation. Furthermore, those door window lines are one of a kind and very cool.

[@floydt2029]

Artistic magic Brent will create a winner, enjoy following this build! Thanks.

[@johnnykeener919]

Hey Brent. I just want to say, whatever issues come up you'll figure it out and get this fine hot rod you're building completed. And I can't wait to see it finished, but not too fast cause that's the best part is watching you build em. You're amazing dude. Please keep wrenching. Later. Peace.

[@patriotbrickrepairhotrodsa6099]

Back window looks pretty cool and so does everything else so far

[@timr.3108]

I enjoy you verbalizing your thoughts. It gives a great perspective on how this car will turn out.

[@billleigh615]

You know that sticker saying "built not bought", I think this is the car it was made for. This is quickly becoming my favorite of your builds, its really something out of nothing!

[@jeffreylewis9040]

I really enjoy your videos! I like watching how you problem solve anything that comes up!

[@Barefoottaz1]

"Let's cut some stuff" I love it. Can't wait till the next video.

[@dionrau5580]

I think by doing the door window like that will give it a Willy's coup Look... With a really loonng trunk. Willy's coups are so Cool. 🤔👍

[@TrendsbySterling]

You amaze me Brent, never scared to cut and chop a car and make it happen! I see your vision!

[@koolkar55]

Again your magical manipulation of metal is amazing... no its "AMAZING" gotta shout that. This is going to be epic as usual Brent. I'd love to see the "swearing & cussing" off camera though as that would be classic, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing Mate. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.

[@kevinboardman3060]

Sloping rear window would definitely be a great look.

[@stevensreejith3041]

This seems to be a lot better carved car, wish the roof be filled with metal rather having a open space , totally it’s getting a good shape. It’s really a great thing to see ur videos coming in.💐💐💐 cheers.

[@beealzebub4338]

This is real fun, following your vision. I like what I'm seeing. At first I was a little lost, but now I think I'm with you on the look you're developing. I'm babbling. It's your car and I'm just watching the build, but I think it's going to be a cool hot rod with the little top and the big fenders. 'Nuff said, Thanks Brent !

[@tomthumb4767]

Brent could make a cool hotrod out of a box of soup cans and four tires . Two thumbs up !!

[@1farmgate]

So satisfying to watch, great work

[@atyourserviceable]

Personally speaking the back end looks great as is very close to the 1938 BUICK SPECIAL CUSTOM COUPE

[@allanimalstaxi]

Brent this brings memories of the General when you were putting it together, all the small pieces around doors. It's coming together, didn't know where you were going at first, but once you cut the back section off and leaned it on it started telling the story. Can't wait to see the next phase my man, take care.

[@michaelbristol6467]

She's coming along great Brent. 👍😉✌

[@d.p.9005]

That’s a very good idea chopping it down 3 inches .Yep that’s good my friend ,so Far so good.

[@borealmetalworx]

I don’t know how this guy doesn’t have a million subscribers. The entertainment value of his video production mixed with choice of music he uses is on point.

[@1957kwick]

It’s nice to see you taking some risks and getting out of your comfort zone. that’s where the creativity begins. 🛠🇺🇸🛠

[@matthewfocke5360]

Great structural changes! A wonderful form in development. Thanks for sharing.

[@martinpook5707]

There's nothing like forward planning and this... looks as though it is going to get there. I can see exactly what it will look like, except of course it won't. Still, a man who can laugh in the face of adversity will probably win! You keep going, I'm sure we'll keep watching.

[@mickhaight4159]

You are a true hot rod builder I enjoy watching you work on the projects that you do Be nice to one painted though

[@terryeustice5399]

Brent you see things so much different than us laymen. Your fabrication is just more most can see. But, you know what your looking for. And it will be. Loved all the slice and dice. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@wilboomhower2490]

I love what you're doing! Don't worry about "Shades of Zephyr", you are you doing what you do!

[@mikeg9230]

This is just magic, an artist at work!

[@swivel05]

10/10 for throwing caution to the wind and just having a red hot go !! I’m absolutely hooked on watching this now to see the final vision come to fruition. Cheers from down under Australia 🤙

[@mrbill8542]

It will look great as a 3 window coupe-just doing away with those back windows will be much easier to build!!

[@stomper2582]

I never thought I could get more excited about a build than the other ones you built but this one really leaves me anxious for the next episode. Really like what you’re doing with it. 👊😀👍

[@rona1144]

Your vision is very good and I like where you are taking the car. 😎

[@Tommy_Poole]

Brent. I’m fairly confident that I could make the same ‘quality’ of mess as you. It’s your vision that I would struggle to match. You see what you want so clearly and know precisely and what you need to do in order to achieve it. It’s a wonderful thing to watch.

[@leroydonnelly2563]

Wow. I'm loving this build so much. I love the style you are aiming for

[@hotflywheel01]

You are a bloody magician mate, it's coming together well. It's going to look great! 👍👍

[@SeansNewWorld]

I'd suggest doing the "B" pillars next that way it is easier to shape than roof panel filler pieces. I agree the rear window needs to drop down too. I think what is throwing off the look with the quarter panels is on the 36 Ford 3 window the doors are longer than what you have.

[@grietga]

Impressing job! Before cutting the back, you may want to mock up the front and get an idea of the car's global proportions. That may help you decide by how much you want to shorten the rear, if at all.

[@stanleymartin1613]

Neat stuff. I'm digging the way this is going. Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@edwinreece438]

I like the large back window.

[@robbieautrey3158]

WOW Brent you sure have a good designer eye man. Your vision was a bit hard to follow but once you started cutting and pasting it all makes sense. It will be interesting to see just how you do the back window because i agree with you that it is a bit too big.. I think bringing the wheel opening up a bit will make it all flow so much better to.. Great video man..

[@guillermonieri4203]

What an incredible imagination and vision! Thank you.

[@jeffreyn.greene6233]

A true visionary my friend. Simply amazing work 👏

[@astravanmk2]

Wow! It’s amazing how the paper bits really aid the visual aspect of the build process.

[@HalfassKustoms]

Haha yeah in my head I seen that but I know a lot of folks need the paper to fully understand but I'm trying to do :)

[@clevelandmaker386]

@@HalfassKustoms I'm not trying to tell you what to do....... But why didn't you slice at curve at the back corner to meet the back then all you would have to do would be to make some scabby pieces to fill the gaps!!!! Would be less cutting and not have to cut the body

[@richardoswalt1009]

You've got a vision, I can't do that, so I just keep everything stock. What you do is amazing...

[@richarddietrich2478]

EXCELLENT DESIGN ---- JUST RIGHT PROPORTION'S ---- LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDIO !

[@wilfredbrown8033]

i am sitting here watching you work have been watching you for years and loving all your videos but i wonder if you are insane or a genius or a combo of each love how your projects end up

[@richardmarino5658]

Hi Brent. I think I see your vision. The thing that's throwing me off is the angle of the roof connecting to the back. I like the way you have the front windows. I think your next episode will clarify a lot of things. I know you're going to have all of us saying yeah that's cool. I am anxiously awaiting.

[@joedyer8824]

I wonder how many people would have scrap that car when you first started on it. You just keep on going forward Brent nice job, that's why you're videos are so good thanks 😊

[@dougpeak7591]

I’m glad your back at it . I couldn’t wait to see what your plan is ! Lots of work I’m glad your doing it I wouldn’t know what to do next

[@iguanabelga8028]

wow it's coming very nice, gone be a beautiful car, love the build👍

[@paulblack2402]

Wow! Can’t wait for the next episode. We’ll done .

[@daleking8529]

I'm still liking it!! Interesting to watch how it's changing.

[@garylamb4777]

Awesome timing

[@creedsixteen891]

I like the look of the rears where they are. Looks very cool! Keep up the great work.

[@markwatts6683]

your fabrication is mind blowing, I'm impressed, I enjoy your videos especially with the detail that you go into. Thanks much and keep your content coming

[@joeharrington595]

Outstanding results. I love how the doors look like they are from a 39 Willeys. Beautiful

[@ausubo50]

Brent, consider the front fenders (wings) size prior to shortening the back. You may end up with a large front and short back. Just saying.

[@aserta]

I'm starting t see the vision much better and i'm liking it.

[@kurtludwig6962]

Brent, Walden Custom Speed shop (Pomona) always starts with doors. He says when you look at a car from the side it’s the window that sets the look

[@HalfassKustoms]

Yeah lots of people do that I just feel it's harder to make my roof bit the door :)

[@stuartfletcher2378]

I see the line you are taking , and bringing the back ,?? forward to meet the roofline will solve a ton of things but there will be so many pieces to fill in which will take time . However you are one the best at your craft which makes the job posable and exciting for all those that love your work . Can't wait to see you tackle this project , Stay warm and well God Bless you and yours . Stuart in Ontario............

[@Roger-hq1yt]

Its amazing how it went from a seemingly unsalvageable mess in to a definite plan that somehow instantly conveyed the design in your mind.

[@peteresson3017]

I like the long trunk gives impression of its going fast.

[@tombrenes2411]

Great content Awesome build Skills 1000% My dream is a 34 front end rear 36 ford

[@DennisMurphey]

I am really digging these changes to "OUR" 36 Dodge Coupe!

[@jimcarlisle2309]

Cool very Cool, I would put fender on, to check the over look. Before cutting and moving forward.

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Wow man that is some real cutting and splicing Brent!! I really can appreciate the amount of work you put into these builds getting this one looking right, can't wait to see the next progress video!

[@maverickfarms2038]

Man that looks killer!!! You are on the right track for sure.

[@philstevens8950]

You are absolutely amazing and a little crazy maybe a lot crazy. I can see it now but would never have had the nerve to do what you've done. Keep going!!! Phil Stevens

[@Icebuntrucker]

Brent the metal wizard doing his stuff . Your vision for this build is unreal ,bravo my friend

[@motorfreaknew]

Awesome!!!! I really like how this new project is evolving... a small cockpit and an elongated rear end, a very elegant line! 👍👍

[@stucook8622]

Sounds like your finally starting to feel better. It's gonna look sweet when you get her together...peace 🐾🍺

[@donhoughton271]

I like what it looks like,round all around .

[@terrencebuller7676]

Hello Brent, I think I can see the look your going for, also agree with moving the rear forward. This is going to be one sweet rod. Best of luck and keep up the great work. 👍

[@hat8415]

I love it!!!

[@eddievanover4183]

4!!! Not 6

[@dennisbjones]

I'm still not sure. He usually doesn't go for massive rubber on the back but I wonder how it would look with the big booty out the back and big rubber under it.

[@papeep2694]

Regardless what the project is we are all here to watch a master craftsman ply his skills.

[@davidlester6092]

It's looking good!!!!🏁

[@ianallen2]

The vision of it is great. I could imagine the Zephyr when you mentioned it. That had a lovely shape to it nut wouldnt suit the roof line of the reat window. Would if it was moor sloped back though. I recon you could build a car if you only had sheets of metal and a shapre in your head. . :)

[@steve-gp1nc]

With a tape measure and ruler.Amazing.👍
