From alberta western mountains Canada 🇨🇦 enjoy your expertise awesome Very Very impressed jojojojojojojo great job on Sun Rooftop like your what your doing thank you

[@okeechobeejoe2868]

I like both time-lapse and actual time. I think your doing a great job with both on your videos. The truck is looking good, I like the sun roof.

[@allenflud]

I have just discovered the c50 and up series of trucks and i want to do this to one of them. Then i found you, and its nice to know that with a methodical and determined effort you have proven that am not crazy and it can be done. my family thought i was off a rocker. Like your format seems honest and no one is filming you so i think one guy doing all the production and work can be allowed to work how he is comfortable. Thanks for sharing. Its looking great.

[@mthiessen134]

You’re doin a pretty good job of the Timelapse balance. I’m about to start almost the same project. Using the wide bodies from the 910/4000 2/3Ton Then mounting the cab on a C5500 Kodiak Appreciate many of your ideas.

[@skipbolinger1370]

I am enjoying this build thanx so much for your time and effort

[@user-ro1ct9cc9p]

Win.these truck is done a show peace

[@melvindenny8962]

Innovative mind. Thank you for bringing us along. Peace

[@mrwhitefolk11b46]

These are my favorite series of trucks so I'm really enjoying this build and your work is impressive. As a novice in all aspects I greatly appreciate any time you can show close ups and details of what you are doing. Plenty of channels show before and after. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. I truly feel you should have 25,000 subs by now on this build. Looking forward to the next one.

Such attention to detail... Awesome build Kid!

Thanks a bunch!

[@jasonsapp792]

Your video build on this truck was a random YT suggestion...glad they did ...this is a really cool build...going to subscribe

[@chopshopart]

Thanks man!

I just found this channel, you are doing a great job on this truck! Ñice work!

[@chopshopart]

Thanks man!

[@jamesmurray5444]

Very cool project. Congratulations!

[@oacumulador]

Sunroof looks was made for that truck

[@StevenBagley]

I’m loving this series! I enjoy more Timelapse of actual work and less talk but that’s what you’re doing really. Great work!

[@johnquinn1732]

Love the concept. I want to do the same thing with a 60s Chevy pickup. The only thing I want to do differently is put a full Tundra powered rear window in

[@chopshopart]

That was actually literally something I was thinking about however I didn't know how it would look in the rear if it would be shaped different but I'd say go for it that would be very cool

[@johnquinn1732]

Well what I was thinking of doing, is just getting a rear tundra cab panel with the glass intact (from a wreck tundra) blending it in and using it as the rear of the cab. Do a center cut out swap around the window like you did with the roof.

[@jockjo723]

Great job, very clean

[@chopshopart]

Thanks

Parabéns um ótimo trabalho 👏 top

[@user-jn4ji9qh5c]

What a excellent job and video, love how it’s coming together. That sun roof is the tits !! I think I may have put some sound deadner in that spot between the doors, but that just Personal preference, keep up the excellent work..

[@craigcaggiano431]

Your custom built truck is coming 18:22 out awesome, each video your content gets better. Looking forward to seeing your next video and progress.

[@kevind5508]

Man that's epic. Loving the progress

[@albertdehn8381]

Time lapse let’s us to see more of your build thanks for sharing 👍😀

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

should have placed some speaker cut outs on your side panel! en watching your build, awesome work!!!!

[@chopshopart]

Yeah I'm still getting to that once I start more on the interior

[@paulbland808]

I'm from South Africa I like your videos carry on with the good work

[@chopshopart]

Thanks 👍

[@skulltyrant2]

sunroof isn't something i would have personally gone with, I've never had one that didn't leak, but it looks amazing in there. you are doing an awesome job on this I can't wait to see it done. keep it up!!

[@ytwhite5930]

Looks like it's coming along,James. Stick with the time lapse...It keeps things far more interesting...

[@Chevy-ud1ec]

nice job

Is this your profession? Or your home hobby? If hobby you blow my mind! If profession then wow great work. Ya I’m lovin it.

[@mikehanks06]

I wouldn't worry about your B pillars being weak in a rollover you have them welded solid like a beam. Very impressive work 👏. What kind of dog do you have. My work companion was a black cocker spaniel twice in my life among other dogs. A little more striping back finishes before welding will help you especially when dealing with new automobile stee.l Some new steel is not made like the old tin you're working with. I started a 49 chevy crew cab build sold it. Now I am thinking about crew cabbing my 61 c60. I like your build. Spent last night watching most your videos. Again nice work I am an old body man graduate of Auto Body tech school 1993.

[@chopshopart]

He's a black cocker spaniel thanks for the view and follow that sounds like a cool project that you have going on

[@brian55lvr]

i like both lapse and some talking--- you seem to have a good balance to keep it interesting-- i think you tube has music u can insert when doing the time lapse, i dont care if you know the right words for what you are doing--- your talent speaks for itself keep up the great work shes looking minty

[@danmattes60]

Hope you are keeping everything braced to prevent warpage.

[@mohsenpourghasem399]

Beautiful

[@frankfurther3828]

I dig the project. Less so on the sunroof.

[@benandersonn7513]

It is looking pretty dang cool. My only concern is that B pillar having enough strength going across the roof. Big concern in a rollover. Cosmetically it is looking awesome.

[@chopshopart]

It has the same amount of strength as it did as a single cab

[@nimblybimbly4002]

It looked a bit like a limo divider when you still has the original back wall in there.

[@CodeyMikes]

Bad ass man

[@biglakehotrods381]

Sunroof is a nice touch. Should make it stand out.

[@Barefoot-Bob]

Great job ! i I did several long bed to shortbed conversions . I know what a painstaking pain it is to sit there and tack and tack and tack to keep it from warping . One thing i missed when you shortened the door the inner door panel of course uses that indian arrow stamping how did you get that to blend on the rear doors ? I take it the sunroof was wide enough near the outside of cab to keep it rigid ? as those roofs do move alot . are you running some sort of cross bracing from sunroof to the edge to give it a little more beef ? cloth liner is an excellent idea . outside fire wall. is the booster still going to clear everything . i know the apache cabs are narrower . or are you using the hydro boost ? How does the steering column jive with the dash angle ?

[@chopshopart]

Yeah I'm putting in Cross bracing in this roof, the firewall is 2003 so the hydro boost and everything will go back in the factory position planning on it

[@Barefoot-Bob]

@@chopshopart like i said just awsome i am fiddling with the idea of 4 dooring my 1940 chev and extending the nose for a 6bt.

[@georgefallen1577]

This is going to be a nice one.What did roof come out of.

[@gabrielaleman6962]

Bad ass build brotha mind me asking from what truck u got the sun roof from looking to doing it on my 84 crew cab just all the ones I find are smaller

[@chopshopart]

2015 Ford expedition,

[@nd7368]

Very cool. I had the same idea on one of my projects where the roof was so warped from years in the sun.. tried to replace but couldn't find a good roof skin. Plan was first to fiberglass underneath the newer roof skin, but then decided to go with pano sunroof.. Project is gone now.. But wondering, what's the sunroof from?

[@chopshopart]

Thanks for the comment, it's from a 2015 Ford expedition

[@davemills5408]

Be careful of the sunroof glass when welding. I could see sparks hitting it when you were doing the pillars

[@chopshopart]

Yep

[@johnkelly6942]

Did you consider body panel adhesive glue that sunroof donor in?

[@1966cambo]

depending on the part , I agree, panel bond from 3M is ridiculously strong and you have the added benefit of not heat input/warping of panels !

[@ToriL97]

Is the panoramic sunroof panel galvanized like a lot of car body panels are now?

[@chopshopart]

It's out of a 2015 Ford explorer

[@alexandrpolikarpov2288]

Hi, Are you still weld with Andeli? My cut-50 weld is terrible... Use like cutter only

[@chopshopart]

Yes I'm still using it are you using gas and whatnot mine has been working good especially for sheet metal

[@alexandrpolikarpov2288]

You should be rust proof the inside of all panels before installing.

[@chopshopart]

Yeah going to coat all the inside areas I can reach

[@chrissweet6298]

Maybe a little more time lapse then we gain on content do see where it wouldn’t help

[@mikelehman3257]

like time lapse...

[@NickDanger1957]

Gloves please

[@brian55lvr]

the new metal is not like the old steel-- new is high strength low alloy---- it doesnt weld the same or bend the same--- less lead etc in the new stuff for the epa crap

Just tell us the important things and details

Please, please wear safety glasses when ever you working with grinders and torches. 😢

Nice reminder

[@oldsman496]

You seem to be good at making proper templates and properly fitting panels. If I wanted to have someone make me laugh, I'd be watching ComedyCentral. You should get 2 "jokes of the day" and somewhere in the video say them deadpan and without smiling or laughing. That 'Talking" you don't do much of is Content time. It adds minutes to your video's and allows you to split projects into more video's which equal more views... Same number of project video's but you spend more time to watch them. I love the time lapse, but They need to be of shorter duration with you slowing down and explaining what you are doing... this also adds to the length of the show.... Can u get an assistant that's really cute? not a dog... seriously you seem to be good at cutting and fitting and fabrication is the niche I watch...
