I've been following Karl forever now. Hands down, one of the best metal fabricators in Canada. I can't say he's best because there has to be lots of guys out there that we just don't know about. I think that's only fair.

[@lewiskemp5893]

I would say US too. I've definitely improved my welding catching little tips and seeing him do something

[@danross344]

You have to put on the original front and rear fenders back on this vehicle, it looks so cool. It’s not a rock crawler. It’s an off-road vehicle. You can take camping for the weekend.

[@garypease7414]

When you run your heater hoses, get some "gladhand" grommets from any truck stop accessory isle. It'll keep the hoses from wearing out on the bulkhead/firewall. I use them for long battery cables when I mount a battery in the back. But I think the hole would be big enough for a heater hose. Another thing I've watched a lot of guys not do is get some weather stripping, and when you build your tank mounts, especially on aluminum tanks, and isolate the tank from the steel mounting frame. Then just use a regular ground strap to ground it. By isolating it, you won't get premature wear on the aluminum, and it's a little safer. Great build!

[@AvverageJoe]

@@garypease7414 great tips. Thanks

[@user-lj1hi4xh6o]

Karl . Brent is right sometimes we have to turn off our brain. and make it simple. You did an awesome job.

[@AvverageJoe]

@user-lj1hi4xh6o sometimes it's hard to get my brain to turn on lol

[@briankinnear7461]

Some great progress. Some people call if planning paralysis. Getting stuck in a planning mode and continuously second-guessing decisions. I find it useful to just decide to work back-to-front or side-to-side on a project. You make progress which can get you out of that 'paralysis' mode. Be safe and stay well.

[@bcavmechanic]

I love this build. It definitely has a mad max vibe. I enjoy most of your content but I actually have enjoyed the builds more than some of the just plain metal work episodes. The ramp truck was a cool build too. I love the direction of this 34' Plymouth as it is a car most would leave to rot. What a great way to make a cool ride. The Toyota parts are good tough pieces and the 22R is hard to beat for reliability. I would prefer V8 power as the sound is important to me but I still approve. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see it on the road. I am just over in Langley so hopefully I will see it out at one of the shows or cruises. Take care. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@joannehart9624]

I'm really liking the big, chunky look of the rig with just the right amount of classic "hot rod vibe" going on.

[@AvverageJoe]

@@joannehart9624 bigtime

[@eddieknoell1678]

This build is KOOL to the max!!!!

[@AvverageJoe]

to the MADMAX!!!

[@Pops1948]

Could be your best build yet . . . for us backyarders. If that's an aluminium tank you need to separate the steel brackets with rubber strips

[@37FordGuy]

I’m loving this build. Everything about it is bad ass. Alex G would definitely approve. Oh and those Buick headlights are in the mail.

[@MakeItKustom]

Tom ! Haha I hope Alex would approve. No way you sent em!? Unreal man

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That truck will be badass when you finish it. Really like the Mad Max vibe it has.

[@Haida_Art_Jordon_S]

I’m loving 🔥 Lt. Dan 🔥

[@markkinvig1811]

Cost ...thats a good component to mention. I think many don't realize what a total cost will be when starting out. One has to be realistic and also know that it will take money to finish and most importantly enjoy so find a way and as ed smith of 5 star engines says "have fun"😊

[@Studebomber]

Such a cool and average guy project. It's actually refreshing to see something that most guys could do themselves.

[@RickyGreen-t7s]

The ply- ota all terrain is coming along good 👍

[@pacificrider08]

Kinda gives a jeepers creepers vibe. Kool!

[@AvverageJoe]

@pacificrider08 yes! Lol

[@brianjohnson3770]

Lovein this! Make= Plyota Model= Offroadrunner

[@xozindustries7451]

My college professor would say KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid. Nice job on the car truck Plymouth Toyota

[@JRJBgarage]

I love the look so much something about looking at a vechile that is just rugged but also built nicely. And just the little extras here and there it's a perfect design and build.

[@TheCrackerBox]

It looks good Brother ! My opinion I think it would look even better with fenders 👍

[@AvverageJoe]

Man, I know jealousy/envy is a sin, but i want that thing! super badass!

[@kurtludwig6962]

I really like the fun build 4/4❤ Could be the beginning of your future builds. I mean throw in quick cheap fun builds to sell or keep, and then go into your epic builds like roadster, Cadillac, then zepher

[@brunocoutant4204]

I like this "Mad Max Style" truck !!!

[@ronbunker5778]

I really like watching you fab parts. Every time I learn many things to help me on my projects!

[@Vidar.m]

Expedition style that car, reminds me of what an old prospector could have 😅 i like it. Something you dont have to worry about damaging

[@daleking8529]

Great progress!! Glad you are going to finish the model A!!

[@larryreece1403]

You have the unique ability to look at an item and understand what it could be. (Vision) Not all people can see the same way. So watching you helps us to see what can be. Keep inspiring us! As far as a detailed break down of cost, I think a general I have $XXX.00 dollars in this and that. An accountants detail of every dollar spent gets boring. Definitely keep showing how you re-purpose parts!

[@rayi666]

man that thing is gonna be alot of fun, it will be a head turner too.

[@robertstevison1448]

Yall are awesome brother as always I enjoy seeing this build every video

[@howardsmith1111]

Serious badassery. Lovin' the look.

[@AvverageJoe]

bigtime

[@danross344]

I love what you did to the front end with the shock mounts in the headlight mount. You got creative.

[@johnkranz4004]

Coming along nicely Karl

[@murdoc6501]

That front end treatment is awesome! You and Brent are right, sometimes you have to just turn the brain off and attack the project! If it doesn't work out, you can always go back and redo it and learn from the mistake! Caddy coming back! Go Japhands, keep moving forward!

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for another , Brother

[@larryoren5928]

I think it looks awesome. That's actually how I like to see old cars & trucks, as a 4x4. Keep up the great work. It's a little different from the bagged lowered stuff. God bless.

[@AvverageJoe]

@@larryoren5928 absolutely

[@donaldhalls2189]

Rig is looking great, Toyota is a pretty reliable start, no huge Power but plenty of Torque, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@Mopar46]

The thing that springs to mind, when looking at that whole front end, is HEAVY DUTY!

[@hotrodhudson18]

What a cool fun build.

[@laurensmith1828]

Thanks Karl ,those were great tips. The rig is really shaping up.

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good 👍👍

[@robertrusso877]

Love this build Karl! Would love to see a full size luggage rack with some vintage off-road lights on the roof to finish it off! You’re gonna need somewhere to stash your fishing poles!

[@Willbme4EVA]

I clicked on your channel today thinking YT was not giving me my Make it Kustom vids. 1 hr later you upload, hahaha! Thanks Man!

[@RichardBerry-v5i]

Nice job looks great 👍

[@OGTtom]

Too cool , going to be Epic when finished , thank you Karl .

[@AvverageJoe]

absolutely

[@carcj1983]

Is looking like a volvo tp21. Awesome build..

[@dougwernham5209]

Great progress thanks for the video Karl.

[@Woodden]

A lot of cool stuff

[@VintageTinGarage]

It’s great that you’re doing simple on the Plyota.

[@Iowa599]

Don't run tires that are too sticky with the Lincoln locker, I have made that mistake! Limited slip is key, because if nothing slips, something breaks! With a Lincoln Locker the only thing that can slip is a tire, so if one tire doesn't slip you snap something, like an axle shaft. I have no idea what the limits are, but I bet you'll find it with aired down 245's on clean asphalt. 😂

[@KevinHalliburton]

That car is really coming together nicely!

[@blueeyz2046]

Carona and I LOVE this build!

[@jimcarmody5423]

Mad max definitely it's one good looking rig

[@therustyshoe8958]

The Plyota looks like it will get the job done

[@timmcfarland2736]

Hay I would of never thought of Amazon for the heater great idea

[@launceherron]

Awesome content

[@robertstevison1448]

Awesome afternoon guys Awesome progress yall looking awesome waiting to see that Ole gal rolling out 😂😂😂😂

[@AlanPitt-y3n]

Beautiful work as usual it’s coming along very nice and pretty quick Love it 👍🏼👍🏼🛠🛠

[@Randy_51_]

Love the progress! Great video!

[@FlatThunder]

Your right, sometimes the finite details of a project can paralyze us....I need to 'just do' more to complete more of my projects......Also noted its very easy to take a couple hundred dollar project car and drop tens of thousands into it, rubber and paint really sucks up the bills. Great video its looking awesome 👍😁

[@andycornell201]

Practicality and functionality can be just as beautiful as labor!

[@jrehtil1494]

Karl the time and effect work well with program.

[@MH-rb7lp]

Something to consider for builds like this, mount 2 to 4 rare earth magnets (Amazon) onto your fuse box and then you can mount the box almost any place but better than that is that if you need to access it, you just pull it down (assuming you left a little slack in the wiring) and do what you have to do. MUCH better than trying to crawl under the dash to check or replace a fuse.

[@frankhartranft2133]

I like it. Steampunk camper. Needs a hood and maybe a snorkel. Fun stuff. Wish I could turn off my brain. If you figure it out you could become a guru...

[@joecioe8566]

Look awesome, yes, a breakdown on cost would be great.

[@robertstevison1448]

The Ole gal is awesome character and charm of a warrior lady queen 💪 💯 👸

[@franksgarage8551]

You are absolutely the bracket master! The fuse box mount is awesome, so simple. I look at brake master hydraulics like a gear ratio, the smaller the drive gear (piston) the more power it makes. Fyi, i have one of these heaters, not worth the trouble. I have an original antique car heater that was better. You will need to draw fresh air in to the heater.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yeah when I got it I thought wow this is tiny lol yea ! Mountinh the fuse box worked great like that!

[@MichaelShea1965]

A back lift gate door combo for access to storage space in back would be cool.

[@OGRocker1]

Awesome vid as always Karl, nice progress... Till the next ! 🤙

[@borealmetalworx]

That looks awesome 🔥

[@ivoman7]

Great videos, Karl. I made a music playlist with some of your video songs. They're awesome!

[@Caveman-i5u]

I would drive it to fancy. I hate you had to cross that grill. But the way you did it. Fantastic.

[@burtonr]

I do the same "turn off your brain" trick! When I start thinking too much, I ask myself "What is known and certain?" and "What does this *need* to work?" When you break it down into the most simple questions, it makes it a whole lot easier to get stuff done

[@Enter-a-name55]

That's my biggest problem, I can't just do it. I have to pre plan all my steps in my head. The planning stage can take the longest. Once I've figured out all the variables I will just fly through the task at hand. I would love to be able to just figure things out as they go.

[@burtonr]

@@Enter-a-name55 It's definitely a learned skill! I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but also impatient... so I'll get so far into the design/planning before I'm itching to just build something and then find that part I didn't think about earlier

[@atruefreethinker1944]

this is a good fun build.

[@bozoschoonover9051]

WOW!!! And I agree with having front fenders.

[@paulfoldes3873]

from the roster to monster good video excellent crafsmantship love your show karl

[@peterouellette3874]

Progress, nice job, moving forward, Karl

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

PLY-OTA, Love it.

[@bruceaskin9645]

Wow the bar and lights really set it off. Frankenmoth

[@Willbme4EVA]

Great spot to test the beast is in IOWA, the upside down bridge Wapsipinicon State Park. The road actually ramps down and up under water. Love this Build.

[@TheSandman614]

Getting Scrooge McDuck adventurer vibes or something the Beagle Boys would ride.

[@tomiheinonen460]

I really like the patina it has. Just the shiny radiator frame doesn't fit the picture. Those old headlights sure look much better.

[@stephengent9974]

Epic build. Simple but very cool. It would look good with a distressed paint finish or just arrest the rust and clear it,

[@GreggGonzalez-ei1gu]

Awesome 👍

[@MrFingerBobs]

It makes me think of something old skool Moonshiners would use to get to their Still deep in the Backwoods.

[@ajod5360]

I'd enclose that fuel tank with a drain angled backwards underneath. Last thing you want is a low speed rear ender that is enough to split that tank and cover you in fuel (all your ignition sources are where you are). Maybe fab a parcel shelf above it to make the enclosure look more functional.

[@noprojectgarage]

Evolving into a badass ride. 💪👍🤟

[@Zaafgguggrw]

The rig looks like a ralph, ralph is tough rugged and handsome

[@robertjohansson6381]

I like it ! You may consider Fender's because offroad

[@andrewharrison4675]

You should make a trunk to hang of the back and or running board boxes for camping tent poles.

[@RaperJason]

It looks like the Bullet-Proof-Bomb that the Ant Hill Mob drove in the Wacky Races Cartoon 🤣 I think it was also known as Roaring Plenty and the Mafia Car

[@theartman410]

HAPPY FRIDAY...Let's build something

[@redfoxclassics]

My first reaction was that bigger, more 20s/30s style, headlights would look really cool. Obviously more awkward to get though. What’re you planning on doing with the sunroof? Quite liked the ‘day in the life of Karl’s brain’ bits :D

[@jackpledger8118]

You keep looking for a name for the Plymouth...I think Steve is a perfect name. "Let's get Steve and go to the lake fishing." Or, "let's get Steve and go for a beer."

[@sween187]

Id love if our car laws were as 'loose', theyd never pass a road worthy tests here, they are super strict 😂. But love this stuff, its inspiring, super content. Would love to see a cost break down. 👍.

[@hedwigleemans6249]

Lovely thing - you could continue the tube theme all the way to the back of the car parallel to the frame and use it as a step-in

[@MarqusReyes-yi4ww]

I spend a lot of time in junk yards to save money on my builds and still build badass rides

[@rickfox6995]

You're giving me a lot of ideas. Think I have enough stuff laying around to build something similar. Awesome build

[@ohar7237]

I think you might need to put a more solid brace between the tops of those shock tower mounts. That's a lot of lever arm.

[@jamiekaye3680]

I don’t know if you intend to something about the way the rear spring hangers look, but a twin swinging spare wheel mount would finish it of nicely

[@larryreece1403]

How about a Cross bar between the top shock mounts? I don't know if you're running the hood sides, but that would really strengthen that front suspension.
