Custom Gauge Panel - 1937 Rat Rod - Update 58

[@patrickchristie82]

Came out great. It’s important to show people the reality of what it takes to make something truly custom.

[@AndysDogHouse]

I haven't been over at your shop in a while because I have been busy with other things. You know how it is. You have come along way. You have a shop packed with new tools, shop supplies and Machines. Good for you. Thanks for sharing.👍👍😷

[@adhithyasodhi3203]

Original ideas often take a lot of time to develop. All those versions weren't mistakes, they all helped make the final result that much better

[@user-js4vh2lw6n]

Looks great! Thank you for showing all of the trial and error process instead of faking perfection like tv show builders do.

[@40mick]

I like that you shared the Fu## ups, most won't. It tells me you don't care what people think you just put your work out there. I admire that in a world of KZbinrs that edit their content so everyone thinks they are Chip Foose. Even Chip isn't perfect and he will be the first to say so. Nice job!!!! Thanks for taking the time.

[@thesilkkradle9558]

this was brilliant.. i love that look you created... great skills.

[@LEXLUTHER66666]

I appreciate you showing your craft. All these "professionals" just show the finished product so they don't give up industry secrets. I know how hard it is to conform steel to an idea. That turned out soo sick, it looks like a WWII Bomber dash.

[@kambacktransam4840]

I found another favorite show. Your a cross between Vice Grip Garage and Bad Chad. It's nice to see your a perfectionist like I am when I am restoring homes that are well over a hundred (100) years old.

[@gomezogman]

Nice. Well worth the effort. Roll with the puches and reap the rewards. Outstanding 🙌🙌🙌

[@pangaute]

Nice job! They say the journey is more important than the destination and you sure are taking the scenic route 😁👍

[@jamesnorris998]

I really enjoyed this video.. the fact you show your mistakes shows humility..

[@davidlester6092]

Nice job! Nothing good ever goes easy!!!

[@johnschooling9360]

As you drive your rod, you will have the best view enjoying this piece of art you've created!

[@shanewright6958]

The dash turned out sweet 👍👍🇨🇱

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Many thanks for showing your project through all the steps. I like your style. You have given me several options for my own project. Thanks!

[@Karkmotuning]

This is one of the best videos on designing and building a rod. Sometimes what you do just don't look right, and you got to start over. This is very rarely seen on youtube, but it happens every now and then, especially when you really go out there and make an own design or detail. This is not going to happen if you build a 1932 Ford with an Auburn instrumentpanel, and exactly this is why I like outside the box builds like the 1937 rat rod. Thumbs up!

[@highspeednoblesgarage3152]

I thought I was the only one who had that problem. Great video. Looks good.

[@toddhaver1143]

Looks fantastic. Awesome!!!!

[@brandonmaley6737]

Its was all worth it man...turned out great!!!

[@62_C10]

Watched the entire video and I admire your determination and dedication to your vision. Looks good.

[@stevenmarcum8951]

Looks great. That's true hot rodding screwing up until you get it right.

[@kiplindsay8413]

I would never laugh at anyone's errors or misfortune, lord knows I've drank heavily after a night of project fails, but your expression when that drill motor smoked! I might have peed myself laughing. But the instrument panel is awesome!

[@patrickharrand]

Lookin' good. Thanks for sharing your hard work.

[@Freedom_is_better_than_safety]

I love that you showed all the failed ideas and attempts. This is how it is in the real world. Limited tools and limited budgets. This is hot rodding.

[@danmoore2443]

Very cool bud! aren’t hot rods fun trial and error busy time is good time love it !

[@craigcaggiano431]

Love the dash gauge installation with the Red LED accent lights. Also love that RAT FINK on the Garage Door

[@markdemieville2941]

Looks way bad ass! Good job brother!

[@frankengel527]

The dash turned out great and the lights really put the icing on the cake. I got to say you got some patience,really does look good and it was worth all of it.

[@mikepritchett184]

Every one goes thru this. 20 yrs from now itl be EASIER. But it wont ever be a 5 min job. IM PROUD OF YOU ! YOU WON !

[@ktor538]

Really nice work!

[@garyharms276]

Nice job ....I like the real deal work

[@johnk2126]

Awesome work as usual. Love the build

[@Patstricks77]

Great result after a lot of work!

[@johnyoung1061]

Looks great your hard work paid off

[@kenhomeier8629]

Looks really good man. Persistence paid off. Watching this, I saw all the stupid stuff that gets me on projects. 20 different ideas then it finally clicked on what to do. Guess I’m not the only one. Thanks for sharing your pain and not being another best of best no mistakes guy.

[@graemesmall6506]

Well worth the time and effort.....

[@tombob671]

Excellent work

[@johnf.s.180]

Niiiice!! Worth the effort. Many people don't know how much time and effort it takes to get it just right. Very cool look. :)

[@daviddickerson3608]

Looks fantastic.

[@andrewzanto8591]

I found your channel a few weeks ago. I've been watching this build from the beginning. It's really impressive to watch, and see the growth in both your skills and design. So glad you shared the entire process, and it's really cool how you walk us through your thought process as well as the construction technique. Keep up the awesome work.

[@BrokeBastardGarage]

Andrew Zanto thank you and thanks for watching

[@jamesgibbs4037]

great job, I think this is gonna be one bad ass build

[@alisonsteffy6469]

Good job my friend Looks good.

[@AndyBdrifts]

Keep up the awesome work! Its looking great!

[@skogsbosse]

that one with the red light behind / between the dashboard.... Super nice

[@BHbrewing]

Nailed it the dash looks awesome!

[@paulbeckwith5981]

A lot of work and frustrations, but it came good, I like it a lot!

[@lash6427]

Exactly why this is such an expensive hobby.. great job

[@curlyservicestate2832]

Looks great patients paid off

[@joell439]

Stunning result. Thanks for showing us the ‘hole’ journey. Sure helps me feel better when I do everything at least twice. Joel......

[@number100]

Really nice design, dude! I can definitely appreciate the process it took, as well as adding that to your video. It definitely paid off in the end. You nailed it.

[@rafatrill]

Thanks for showing ur mistakes that helps believe it or not I think a fabricator always second guesses himself

[@rickm5806]

That was worth it in the end!

[@PillarToPost77]

Helluva road to get to the final piece but well worth it. Looks great and I can not wait for more

[@quarter_bubble_garage4946]

Looks great and I have been down the same frustrating road. Was cool to hear the Moonshine Bandits in the background.

[@welcometotheinternet4215]

Damn it!!! I wish I had 4 hands!!!! Deserves 4 thumbs up!!!

[@shotsrodder]

Looks pretty cool 😎

[@jeffreylevin1266]

That came out Cool! I’ve never seen a Dashboard that looked like that either. Great job.

[@snoopu2601]

Just want to say I've been watching your build on this car, on my T.V. I can't comment. Just do your THING it's your ride make it all you.

[@rkreed01]

Looks killer!

[@krisoconnor2673]

That looks badass! I cant wait to see the car when its all done.

[@king0cans]

Great job man. Very sano

[@henryandejbelcher7902]

very cool looks great

[@livingthrulimits9854]

Turned out cool!

[@genefoster7238]

Nice job

[@ariyanadumon4549]

It's nice knowing I'm not the only one building cars that changes my mind alot until I finally figure out what I want lol. I'll have to show my Wives this at some point so they know it's not just me lol 😂.

[@katmandu8208]

Looks good in the end Don't worry be happy now

[@WaynesGarage]

That's was cool with the led lights bro nice work

[@tonycarter669]

Great job very educational

[@garyp1533]

Been there done that key to success NEVER give up Looks killer be proud ,

[@AndysDogHouse]

Man, you went through a lot to get where you are now. That was a lot of steel and frustration. They look top shelf though. Nice work. 👍👍😷

[@cannednolan8194]

I thought it was looking ok the first time. Was thinking you would have the dash rivets into the centre of the face plate. But the lights make it pop.

[@gh0stmal0ne]

Patience and Perseverance

[@scottlemons8191]

Looks killer I really like the idea of the back lite behind the dash Even though it put up a fight the out come is amazing

[@darinmbicknell]

Super Connie Dash.

[@hellsbaby127]

Fair play, it's important to show mistakes, otherwise learners give up. I've learnt more from my mistakes than successes.

[@jennifer.juniper4845]

10/10 for perseverance 👍

[@williamcarey6592]

Nice job ,it usually takes me at least 3 tries to do anything. I did a gauge panel for my 39 in one try using a piece of damaged highway sign,got lucky. Would attach a picture by don’t know how

[@BrokeBastardGarage]

William Carey send it to my Facebook Broke Bastard Garage.

[@raynyhus2026]

Very nice, thought the copper was to wrap around the gap. The backlighting way cooler.

[@richardpugh3434]

That dash is riveting.😁 Turned out great. I use pizza boxes for templates. Maybe that’s why I’m heavier after I’m done.

[@marsha821230]

Nice to see the trials , mistakes , etc... And to not be sold on something the first time around

[@gregcollins6061]

Looks like something off Mad Max👌

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

This is BADASS!!

[@WarBeardTheRed]

Looks really good!

[@CorbinAce]

That's the way it is. I have sheet metal "screw ups" hanging way up on the walls in my shop from over 40 years ago. We all do it. Scrap might get you pennies for it. I rather look at them and smile. The best is though, the dash looks great.

[@theclampitt6577]

Just started following thinking thing is looking pretty cool

[@rodneyclements6190]

This is reality! This is me! When it don't flow...it gotta go lol

[@stevenhartman254]

great job brother

[@boneal4942]

Awesome 👍

[@TheFred1952]

I think everyone that custom fabricats on ideas alone has the same problems that was a great job

[@flatheadronsgarage7345]

Just found your channel. Watched the entire video, no brainer ,,, liked & subbed. I’ll be checking out your other videos 👍👍👍

[@williamphilippus4700]

Quite honestly was disappointed in dash design kind of blahs. We I'm a idiot your gauge design and layout takes it to another level so glad I didn't leave a stupid comment earlier. Great work!!!

[@morgansword]

You may have a pile of dreams on the floor but before anything is done it usually looks bad before great. I would take old gauges from the collection of never will use pile and place them in the holes and see if you don't just have some panels other only dream of making near that good. Just cause you're not digging it doesn't mean it ain't someone else's jam. You're the worst enemy you have and it costs money so reclaim it in maybe you will like what gives so far. I took a dash apart in a K.W. and then took my square body dash completely out and fabbed it in. And if you go with something temp another idea will come eternal and save the day. I know, it's easy for me to say but its true. Only masochists get pleasure from screwing up. I use them for learning and you will admit this is not the dash that you had in your head when starting. I put a complete cut to fit custom 64 buick wildcat dash in a model A roadster and under that hood laid that 326 with three deuces hidden from others till smoking most all around... there is always someone faster/LOL.

[@juanbarturen2726]

Wow. I feel your pain. I have been going thru a similar experience. I have a 54 Chevy truck.aka Ol' Beater. I bought a speedometer, and a tachometer, smaller radius than the original. I want to make a panel over the dash, but joining both holes over the steering column. I'm thinking an aluminum plate. Oh well .see ya

[@dietsausage1]

looks badass

[@elijahmcgee2842]

Is it just me or is the right side lower than the left on the gag. Or does it just look like that . Looks good just me maybe good job

[@BrokeBastardGarage]

trust me its even. its the angle of the camera

[@THEPAINOFITALL]

Love that look, I built a bike like that once, and I build a man cave with that concept. Thanks for showing your 'F' ups. One quick question if I may, what is the gap between your pop riverts please 🤓❤️🐨🇦🇺

[@BrokeBastardGarage]
