[@davidrogers3016]

All those new tools will have to get use to the “Brent touch” because he’s the master

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Truck is coming along, getting rid of rust has been my motto for a year now on my 62 C10 project, haha. Looking solid!

[@marcusmaddenov2451]

I really like the Apache!

[@kalinagoedge2777]

We're all back in our happy place now because you are doing your cool stuff! Perfect.

[@stumpy2816]

It’s very satisfying to me to watch the rust disappear and the good metal go back in. Thanks Brent. So glad you have a place to apply your crafts. 👍👍

[@mixerman1]

I love this little truck build and seeing the master doing what he does best.

Nice quick repairs homemade! This is a great DYI video for some quick welding and fabrication instruction! Great job! Love that old truck.

[@oldtown6240]

On the road again. It is good to see Brent being Brent again. Looks as if the dogs have adjusted well too.

[@davidhatch2558]

They are correct. Even if you are having a bad day. You lift everyone's spirits. I'm glad to see making progress. Excellent work Brent

[@theodoreharper4565]

Brent, The fire, lost tooling, and back to basics can't deter a person with your skils and knowledge. Thanks for once again teaching us how to complete our projects. Great video, also tell Ryder good to see him, and love his boots.

[@dionrau5580]

That's a nice ol truck, someone is going to be happy going down the old country back roads...

[@terrencebuller7676]

Great progress on the truck, she's looking good. Anxious to see her on the road again. Take care and be safe my friend. 👍👍👍

[@chicagovasko]

Brent!!! I love this truck!!! Lookin so good- I like the way the cab corner came out looks great! It’s coming along- keep it going💙

[@chicagovasko]

It's a keeper.

[@tntchitwood]

I used to make knives and ship them all over the world. A bike crash put a stop to that, I had to do something with my hands though. I’ve learned from you, I am restoring a 75 Toyota truck now. Doing my own rust repair for the first time. It’s going well. Thanks Brent for the inspiration. I only have a flux core Lincoln, but it works.

[@Telephony954]

Back in action, does my heart good to see the king back at it. Be well.

[@ralphwicker2962]

Glad to see Brent welding and slach with body repairs am happy agin can't wait to see him in the new shop!

[@Lvbrenda]

What is that they say? You can tell a true master because they make it look easy… Brent, is a master. ❤❤❤

[@patwilkes4122]

Great to see Brent back in action doing what he loves.

[@milwaukeeroadjim9253]

Glad to see you back on sheetmetal repair. I could watch that all day long.

[@bobfurman862]

Love how you used the bed step detail to form the cab corner metal....I always learn something from your videos. Thank you Brent!

[@alanpaulick7815]

Brent thanks for the update video enjoyed watching the rust disappear. You make it look so easy. Take care.

[@clintonmississippi2108]

[@edricoddot]

[@Slingshotgixxer]

[@kenfrazier616]

[@dayslife]

Metal work looks easy when the operator is good, but it's absolutely not easy in fact. Great great job. 👍👍👍

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

As Mortske would say standing by an Aspen tree That's pretty neat 😂

[@richardarthur8191]

Good afternoon Brent, a very nice day as always when my phone dings and it is you friend working on a project. Cheers friend.

[@deanriley1284]

Loved the fact you used the truck to shape the repair panel! Excellent 👍👍🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@motorfreaknew]

It's a pleasure to see the rusted parts of the Apache replaced by new metal! However, this would deserve to be completely repainted (of the same color of course)☝

[@geoffreymills9932]

Ole girl is cleaning up nice, great job Brent and what a score finding that gastank,awesome

[@CSmith-oz4wp]

Can always tell when Brent is getting serious when bring out the Ultra Beer cardboard for patterns.

[@ARFunIn]

First of your recent posts where it looks like you are back in the saddle again. Always love your content!

[@robertbennett9243]

So glad to see you fixing and fabing on vehicles again. You look and act pretty happy now.

[@ninaobradovic8535]

When people make something look so easy, like making that patch you just knpw it's actually way harder than it looks. Great work

[@billyblech]

Very good work Brenton in this little shop. But you can do this.Its a very solid truck from the 60,s. I like and looking for the next Episode.All good for you

[@awakeariseandwatch5976]

great watching you again Brent, you helped me a lot when putting in my 55 chevy truck corners. can't wait for the windshiel repair coming up. God bless

[@kirk467]

Brent , if you’re constantly welding a lot! You might want to take your air nozzle and blow out the liner and I usually change out to a new tip every roll of wire my friend, the rollers may break some of the coating off the wire and it will build up in the liner, just a little tip my friend from a retired welder of 37 years and I enjoy watching you fabricate different things! I still have my mig and I upgraded to a Lincoln 180 amp and 220 power supply from my Lincoln 100 amp with a 110 power supply ! I still do small jobs for myself and if a neighbor or friend needs something! Yeah the 100 amp mig would be perfect for the body work but I wanted start weld thicker material so what I have now will weld as thick as a 1/2” and I’m satisfied with that my friend! My favorite video of yours was the building of the “General “ , very impressive build and I love that truck and the way you designed it and fabricated it from two big eighteen wheeler cabs! The coolest thing I’ve ever seen Brent, I believe it the coolest truck I’ve ever seen! Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your channel and content brother, always sending prayers and good vibes to you and your (Esther), you guys are so awesome and and I was so broken about the old shop but y’all have been amazing throughout everything! Your fabrication is awesome brother! Kirk from Louisiana USA 🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing my friend!

[@terryeustice5399]

Looked like finally a normal video Brent . This was the best so far. May God continue to bless you guys! 🙏🏻 💯👍👊

[@dougaranda6187]

Seems nice to see you do metalwork again! Looks like you banged the old noggin on the bottom of the truck. I came up with another way to reuse worn 5” discs using a 3” rubber threaded sanding backer. I used a washer with the same ID as the backer shaft, reduced the washer OD to fit inside the 5” hub, and cut down a gnarly sanding pad to lock it all together. Works great!

[@dennisabajian8559]

Glad to see you’re doing your magic again with limited tools. Love your videos!

[@randymcgee9176]

I’m happy you’re back doing what you love doing I watch your videos every single day I don’t comment much but I’m a happy camper seeing your progress until tomorrow good night

[@CorollaMAD97]

So glad your getting back on your feet , I have to say your the only youtuber I watch that actually does everything your one hell of a fabricator , you inspired me to cad design my rusty corolla it was so badly rotten but I learnt how to weld from you and I cracked on and got it all sealed and welded up and it passed the Mot test and I'm dailying it again :)

[@glenharper3136]

Looking Good Brent. That is a sweet old truck!

[@cyberhornthedragon]

it is soooooo good to see ya working metal again brent

[@briankinnear7461]

Really nice work on the cab corner and fender repairs. Nice to see you back at fab work again. The old Apache will be ripping around again very soon. Be safe and stay well.

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

So happy to see the NAPCO rolling stout and true! You were due for some good luck with the "new" gas tank - I'm sure she'll clean up just f-i-i-i-ne. Let's make the gas tank find the start of a whole new spate of good times and good fortune, for you, the family and the shop! Cheers!!!

[@jackmehoff2961]

Minty ! Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out . Later ...

[@terrenceadams3481]

Hey Brent! Lookin good! Glad to see you back at it. 😀😀

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

[@tobytopanga]

Looking good. I don’t know if your tagline is “good enough for what it is” or “not a big deal”But it’s one of those for sure😂love the channel❤

[@rayeplin3733]

I realy learn a lot when you fab your own pieces I love watching you do it. Because of you I'm realy doing more on my own making my own stuff I did learn if at first you don't succeed try try aging be patient and you will get the end product you want so thank you for that

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Thanks Brent you are helping more people than you know. I have some metal skills and finery enough funds and a little time my problem has been my physical health and that kinda put me into a depression. Your 'go for it and get er done attuned has given me a will to try life again. Central California watching

[@aserta]

Next time i'm state side, i'm probably going back with one of these. It's my favorite styling and period.

[@trentanderson5620]

The truck is looking amazing

[@timothyjohnson6258]

Perfection is the enemy of progress. Just keep on keepin' on. It'll be okay.

[@jeffsmith7690]

alright you are back to doing what you are good at

[@harrycatrell1471]

Thanks for sharing, Brent! The fuel tank sending unit with the gear on the float arm was absolutely trick! I'm happy that it worked with the gauge! Onward...thru 'da fog! Pablo...Woof! Woof! (Good Boy!) Bro Harry

[@davidsolloway9349]

like 422 . You are doing that very well and quickly !

[@tallboy2234]

Boy, the Spiders were vacating the premises when you started welding on the passenger cab corner. 😀👍

[@stevensilver1014]

nice to see you back into the swing of things

[@dentech4710]

Love to see you back in your environment. Funny to see you using the guard on your cutting wheel. 😄

[@stucook8622]

Nice score on the fuel tank. Thanks for the great video 🐾🍺

[@robbieautrey3158]

Good to see you back and doing what you love to do Brent. Patches came out great to me.

[@bradpage8967]

With stringing the wire through the liner, I take emery cloth and remove the jagged edge on the end of the wire and rounding it a bit. This pretty much eliminates the wire damaging the liner. Putting on the correct tip for the wire helps. 😉🤣

[@TheWalkmanRotation]

My first truck I bought when I was 15 was a 1959 Apache 3100 much like this one. Mine was red and white. Man-I would to own this one-whitewalls,hubcaps-etc. Great to see ya back at Brent. Love it.

[@franciscodr9785]

Hello Brent, tell me you're going to paint this Apache, she deserves it, I think this pick up and Chevy impala are the two models of the brand in 1958 and 1959, I think if I lived in America I would restore all 1958 Impalas and 1959 Apaches (or 58 too) to find ahead ha ha ha ha!!! Hugs from São Paulo - Brazil.

[@johnboysshopofdreams72]

Nice job tonight patch up the truck it is looking better already

[@vsavage_old_rockerz]

[@edwardkurek5355]

Congrats on the spiffy welders helmet!😮

[@chrismarr2663]

Use apple cider vinegar in the tank. I used it in a motorcycle tank once and it cleans it perfectly. Put a couple gallons in the tank and let it sit overnight and it will be clean as a whistle in the morning!!!!

[@rcharles6123]

Hybrid it's Ron it looks like you're getting more comfortable in the new setup I'm enjoying this video and look forward to to the next stay safe

[@danaowen9014]

I like your patch work, it follows the lines.
