COE Ramp Truck Car Hauler EP-4 Halfass Kustoms Collab. Mount Engine/Trans First Start?

[@pa6390]

The look an Karl’s face when it fired up. Awesome.

[@Roger-hq1yt]

Great progress, Brent doesn't mess about and you don't either, two brains are better than 1.

[@arkangelnorthman]

TALK ABOUT THE DREAM TEAM,!! THE DYNAMIC DUO!😎

[@todddaniels9488]

“Make it half assed Kustom”. What a great watch, lots of fun watching the 2 of you. Thank you

[@UCanDoIt2Mike]

Amazing to see you both work! Karl, Love your custom brackets (plasma table envy). Brent is amazing with the LS stuff. I have taken many HP Tuner notes from his channel videos. Keep it going! Mike

[@adambaker5188]

This is so cool! It's like watching my two favorite super heroes! I am an avid fan of you both. Thanks for letting me live out what would have required another lifetime, vicariously through you guys!

[@leaghokeefe1132]

I like the simplicity of the engine mounts. The way you made them weld on the outside of the tube. Very nice work. Happy to see you got your plasma up and running:).

[@timatwell3728]

Y'all making it happen Brent is the man when it comes to LS swaps for sure but y'all keep at it and keep the video's coming

[@jameshollingsworth1750]

Love the build. Brent is amazing. I really appreciate he engineering and thought you are putting into the pieces you are fabbing and installing.

[@rosssrebuild]

Brent is a beast man at anything and everything he does!!! And you are a awesome fabricator!!! Your work is amazing. Both of y’all keep up the good work and do what y’all do best👌💯👍

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Awesome work as always guys. Can't wait to see the next video soon on this project. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@johneldred4060]

When it comes to LS. Motors B rent is the man. You two are a great team. Nice to watch you working together.

[@namelessjoe11]

I dig the blended colab opening with bits of each channel 😎

[@terrydolbow4299]

Looking good and looks like you guys play good together! Thanks for the video

[@davidhyson9910]

Collaborations don't always go right. This one seems to work. I'm ready for the metal art ramp deck!

[@Roger-hq1yt]

The Ego,s usually clash, Brent is immensely knowledgeable but also humble.

[@johnkranz4004]

Excellent job so far Karl and Brent very nice job on the crossmembers Great job on the wiring and the Motor running

[@joseacuna3294]

Karl you have some mad fabrication skills bro. I just found your KZbin channels a few days ago and I’ve just been glued going through your videos.

[@monadking2761]

I'm surprised you did not weld the nuts on the inside of the plates that go to the frame. It will make it so much easier to take out those bolts out with one wrench, if you have to pull the motor. This is such a nice cool build. Can't wait to see this one finished.

[@deanmarskell1518]

Fantastic video and amazing work great collaboration with both of you well done guys ♥️ the channel and what you do ♥️👍👍👍

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Karl, man, I've got to have one of those CNC burn out table's!! I definitely like this project!! I back halved my 65 Mustang years ago, I laid out my frame rails on the garage floor using the same principal as you did on your layout table...Y'all be safe!! God Bless!!

[@MakeItKustom]

Dude, it’s such a timesaver. I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner.

[@lazyhoundracing9621]

Super cool. Thank you for your time.

[@123gonow]

This build is so bad ass ! Went over to Half- asses site and watched the International build great stuff. Nice to see builds that are used not trailer queens !

[@alanpaulick7815]

Fire 🔥 makes Karl and Brent very happy. Thanks for sharing your video guy's.

[@johnchambers12]

Love the wire to check the basic fit before the fab starts

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Keep up the good work gentleman!

[@fonhollohan2908]

Brent makes things looks so easy, don't feel so bad Karl, I'm sure most folks who align themselves up against Brent don't know that much, or nothing compared to that dude. The guys a genius in his field. He's does some nice, nice, kustom work from Junk that just blows my mind. I"ve been binge watching the guys Channel for about a month now and he's definitely one of my new favorite channels, I highly recommend what he has to offer on Halfass Kustoms, he's located in Southern Manitoba in a town called Steinbach.

[@cato9tales141]

Agreed on all you say. Brent makes an effort to finish the builds he has started. Japhands shows no incentive to do that.

[@GreggFesto]

thank you very much for another great video

[@bobc.5324]

This frame looks like a better fit. Moving forward, tilt cab in place. Motor and transmission mounted in and running. Sweet!

[@bobc.5324]

@-.MakeItKustom Always a little leery of responding, but do see the green check. Don't know what the "short list" is though. I follow several you tubers and you are definitely one of the better fabricators. Mine is "Old School" talent learned in the sixties and seventies. Most I find fault with some of their work, but you seem to be spot on and explain what you are doing clearly. I inherited a 60 Cadillac Coupe de ville, like Kristina's, it is white and near mint. Did a lower fender repair on it in the early seventies. Almost identical to the way you repaired hers. Live in the rust belt. Also have a 1952 Ford F-1 in bad need of TLC. Keep up the good work!

[@williamoliver8883]

I’ve been watching Brent for several years now and I’m im glad you two got together on the ls work!

[@kyleforeman4543]

Wow like two grown kids when it fired up..lol.lol.amazin the work u two can do. As Brett would say no problem .lol great video, tks for sharin..

[@Mike-qp8bv]

Merry Christmas Karl. Best wishes to you and your family. All the best in the new year my friend. Thank you for all the entertainment you have provided us. Cheers mate !!

[@mingthemerciless6855]

Great to see craftsman working together. I'd like to see a video with Frtizie Fab and Bad Chad with yoose guys!

[@Garyatairfab]

Wow, that’d clash pretty bad! Those guys all have extremely different styles. Bad Chad and Karl are at opposite ends of the fabrication spectrum. Karl is perfection and Chad is “well that’s good enough for me and if you don’t like it go watch someone else”. Each to his own is what I say.

[@zezoner]

You guys works so fast. I dig it. Super clean too! Thanks.

[@craigcaggiano431]

Love the customized engine and transmission brackets that can unbolt from bottom. Also good to hear engine start

[@frankfurther3828]

Brent and his laptop- legendary.

[@JohnKingery-fv2cl]

Hey, long time truck mechanic here, now retired. Truck frames like this are often some sort of heat treated alloy steel, a bit like a spring. Manufacturers bolt or rivet the load bearing stressed stuff through the main upright web, and leave the flanges mostly unmolested. Gotta be careful about creating stress risers and cracks in the open unboxed parts of the frame on a load hauler like this. Love watching your projects, you're a great teacher

[@billypeters445]

I've shouted out to you before.l'm 65 years old. Lived most of my life in Alabama,US. I'm afraid my time has gone. So happy to see you guys having fun. You and half ass, you guys rock.

[@theperl9663]

Karl is just too good at engine mounting, and welds are super nice. Can't wait to see the end result. K U T G W. (Keep up the good work).

[@jjock3239]

Both of you did amazing work. Nice, clean motor mounts, that will allow you to drop the engine out the bottom, combined with wiring and computer work that produces a successful start on the first attempt. Awesome!

[@spacemanvw]

Wow - thehalfass is good to have around when its a LS1 👍👍

[@martinfahrni5677]

Burnout Tuesday with duallys on the back, looking forward to it as much as you, good work lads.

[@erniehoffer1784]

Brent will want to take your truck home with him. It is right up his alley.

[@k2smd]

Love this build! Why not weld the nuts to the backs of the plates so you don't have to deal with them? 👍

[@tomcoryell]

That burn table is so sweet!

[@E1337Jerk]

The ramp truck is coming along great u guys work so well together

[@dfusit]

Karl you are an evil genius when it comes to designing and fabricating those engine and transmission mounting systems and Brent is the master of the LS swap. Watching the two of you team up together is an amazing experience.

[@terrencebuller7676]

Great program Carl, super progress on the ramp truck. Look forward to the next Video. Nice job to you both. Take care 👍

[@neil3449]

Love the motor motors. Nice job all around.

[@nicolasstanco6368]

Karl & Brent, I watch you both separately and it's very cool to see you guys work together. Canada has some great car talent, gotta say. Tell Brent, AnyWho...

[@charlesirby9222]

SO...This is what a - 'Halfass Kustom Rampage' looks like ... damn fine work in my book! ...Gott'a name that rig ---> 'RAMPAGE' ! Karl...you boys are knocking it out of the park! LOVE THIS STUFF...😎👍 PS . . . "That dang plasma table gives me a woody!"

[@jimaagenes8445]

Been watching Brent build stuff for couple of years. I wish it was really was as easy working on cars as the two of make it look! Have much respect for both of you!

[@raymondroot7457]

My friend it is always a pleasure to watch you work And now it looks like you have your plasma cutter running "GHOST YOUR HARD DRIVE" so you don't loose your data Easy to do Free software all over the innerwebs And it is a major load off the mind if this ever happens again (pc breaking down) You can put your ghosted copy of your drive in a another computer and away you go than get your old one fixed And God forbid You should experience a catastrophic failure of your hard drive or os you only have to put the ghost in and away you go(again) I made my heart sink when you mentioned it went down and I just had to say something God bless And I hope this helps

[@edryan2926]

A Fantastic Collaboration! Great to see all of the progress and those are really stout motor and trans mounts! Keep up the great works.

[@frankvachon8570]

Great seeing and learning from two great Canadian car builders working together on an amazing project. Thank you to both of you!

[@alzender7826]

Kudos and respect to both of you working on this project... Can't wait to see this roll out under it's own power and on the road.

[@bentbike]

I'm 64. Been doing restoration and collision work since the early 80's. Done A LOT of cars. This one though. I;m a bit jealous. Fan damn tastic.

[@joecioe8566]

Well thought out mounts. Sounds good too.

[@leecornelius1424]

Really amazed at your torch skills I just got a new plasma table just starting to learn how to use it ramp truck is looking great like new frame

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Nice progress for just day 2! Brent is the LS guru for making them run without buying a bunch of aftermarket stuff!! Great video of your progress!

[@peterouellette3874]

Awesome, nice job guys

[@richberg404]

Brent is all dressed up in a clean t-shirt and hat. It’s like a church outfit. I love the collaboration

[@brianherron5400]

Great video 👍, nice job to both of you.

[@easttexastramps]

not many of us mortals could fabricate that crossmember with no fixture, claps or even a magnet. that's pretty neat.

[@stuartfletcher2378]

The monster lives!!!! You to must share one brain the way you both get into the project with the end result having everything match up mate up and the days work has the engine and transmission in and secured and fired up. I take my hat off to you both, I'm amazed and in awe. Stu in Ontario,,,,,,,,,

[@stuartfletcher2378]

@-MakeItKustomThank You for the answer to my post, sorry to say I don't have a Telegram account to chat on but I sure get a kick out of watching you work especially with Brent .All the best to both of you in the coming year, God Bless you and yours Stu in Ontario..............

[@TERRYB0688]

Brilliant guys, when the old girl fired up, the look on your faces , priceless 👍👴🏻

[@davidwalkerjr5669]

I just started watching your channel and I’m loving it. Learning a lot. Keep up the good work brothers.

[@paulbowler7775]

Good work guys

[@garysacry5969]

The CnC things are truly badass

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Love the Collab!

[@VwRosstorations]

Nice work..👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@charliemclaughlin1042]

Love both you guys videos you 2 are awesome 👍

[@dartmoormancave]

Great stuff Karl....loving the videos...keep them coming. Can't wait to see you riding in this rig...and using it for picking up new projects ..👍👍😎

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Karl both you and Brent have been in the top three of my favorite KZbin channels. We need to see more of this you guys complement each others skill set well. Keep up the awesome content

[@stevesimons6333]

More fun stuff. Getting closer and it sure helps to have friends in the right places. Congratulations!

[@racerx7319]

YOU BOTH HAVE KICK XSS SKILLS . NICE WORK 👍👍👍👍

[@andarthome142]

Everyone has their own specialty, put them together and the outcome is usually good 👍😎

[@irzoro]

You do amazing work Carl, what's your background? You put me in the mind of a Millwright or Ironworker with CAD and structural engineering skills. Well done! I'm a retired Ironworker that has a 71 C/30 and a 71 C/50 that I want to convert to a car carrier bed. That's how I happened upon your channel. I REALLY like your idea of using a cab over design, too cool! PS. That Rat Rod is bad ass!

[@thomaspollock4274]

You guys make it look easy. Karl I thought you might tack your mount nuts to the brackets to avoid having to get a wrench on them when you disassemble. You guys got a rhythm going and it was only day two. Awesome.

[@terryeustice5399]

It was a task doing this at this time of year. It’s so. Cool how fast you men are going on this project. Brent got your engine running. You got the motor mounts done pretty quickly. Your a great team. Love this project!❤️ Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@drandal1957]

Loving the content, you and Brent are amoung my favorite KZbin videos!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Awesome Carl! Amazing job on all the mount! Love watching you guy's and listening an learning a lot!

[@caseyjones287]

Sup fellas watch both of you on your channel! Awesome content guys!

[@anthonywhitehead9660]

I'm loving this build. Very inspiring.

[@PatriotPainter]

Karl's MIG welds are so pretty they almost look like TIG welds. I love both channels. It's cool to see the collaboration.

[@UNlKby]

Greetings from a viewer from the Republic of Belarus!) Your welding machine on the trolley is at an angle, this can damage the cooling fan, since the fan must be horizontal or vertical.

[@albertdehn8381]

Thanks for sharing 👍😀

[@robertutech1685]

I think you should design the winch on the deck to be able to lower the engine/transmission. Find the center of gravity for the engine combo, put a pulley above it so the winch cable hook would be in the right place. Cool novelty feature.

[@scottthomas5999]

First start up is always rewarding.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@trikejunkie]

Ive been watching Brent for years , and you for a few ,Its great how you say ok bracket for this ......20 mins cad ,profile cut done ......me ok bracket for this cardboard sharpie 13 cutting discs 5 hours done lol

[@scottwhitten5089]

Awesome project. Love to see it come together.

[@koolkar55]

My two favorite channels together. I'm in heaven. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.

[@michaelbonanno9491]

It's wild seeing you two guys doing this. You are a perfectionist as Brent just likes to throw it together and make it go kinda guy. Pretty awesome. keep up the good work.

[@paz6918]

For Christmas I’ve got my first MIG, thanks for the inspiration and sharing your knowledge Karl. Legend 👍

[@paulhedman7387]

I'm watching both of your channels. This is a blast...

[@robertwayne3567]

nice. cool seeing Halfass content in the intro 👊🖤

[@geoffreymills9932]

This project had to be the coolest thing on the tube right now, nice work guys

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

You two are just clicking along. .no big deal. Nothing half assed about this project but a channel name! 👍 😃

[@brettmerryman2837]

Awesome content.

[@gregorycatren3442]

If you two were to ever have a shop together the projects you two would be putting together wow ..I can just imagine...the truck is going to be sweet....

[@poyboyprojects]

just found your channel when you started working on this amazing project! it's amazing! it would be cool if you welded the engine crossmember to the trans crossmember to make it a cradle, to pull the engine assembly easer as one. LOVE THIS BUILD!!
