Red Green would be proud of your tarp repairs!

[@fonhollohan2908]

That's awesome that you got yourself hooked up with a new CNC plasma cutter from Fast Cut, can't get no better than that, that is so so so generous of them. Brent after all of what you've had to walk through its awesome to see you getting abundantly blessed. Thank God, you've had a hard go of it and now you've beginning to bounce back even more and more. Cool.

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

Squealing Rollback. As my Pop used to say, "don't worry till it stops". It wasn't till years later I realized what he meant. Glad you had a great trip and thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@georgeponnay447]

So true! Recently had that happen with an upper ball joint at 60 mph. Popped the day the squeaking stopped.

[@davidhatch2558]

Let Karl know sorry about his ramp truck. New cnc machine is awesome. Thanks Brent for the video

[@study650]

Thank you for taking us along on this trip. Thanks to Karl and also the the crew at FastCut. It's an awesome piece of machinery.

[@davidperrin8843]

Carl seems like a great guy to hang out with, nothing beats a great friend.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Great to see new technology help to restore and preserve vintage vehicles! Also great to see all the folks keeping the "old" stuff alive. Love it all and thank you.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree John

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Congratulations on the Fastcut, super solid of Karl to help you out.

[@rayeddy528]

Brent, you and Karl work great together!!! Good folks attract good folks!!! Thank you for sharing your journey!!!! Karl, if you read this, God bless you and your family!!!! And Brent, God bless you, Esther, and the rest of your family !!!!! Eddy

[@bass60guy]

@@rayeddy528 Yes they do. They need to do a collaboration build and auction it off and donate the cash to a worthy cause in Canada, eh?

[@EvanHofmeyer]

🎉Just two guys having the time of their lives. And sharing with us. 😂

[@terrencebuller7676]

Great program Brent. Some really cool stops, and scenery along the way. The plasma table is super awesome 👌. Take care and have fun with your new toy. 👍👍👍

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man the scenery, the classics, the rusty stuff and a near break down all in one! Nice work!

[@albertorozco5981]

The amazing treasures that are in barns safely taken care of.

[@richardcartier3578]

Karl and Brent excellent adventure 2024 - coming to a theater soon near you!!

[@stuartfletcher2378]

What a terrific presentation , And from across the country from British Columbia to Manitoba what else can I say . It started off a little rough but ended on a positive note , till next time , Stuart in Ontario ..

[@TheHillbillyEngineer]

When you two were talking about the hills and mountains, I had a flashback to the very first episode of Corner Gas! :)

[@johnkranz4004]

Great Video Brent and Karl started out a little ruff Plan B Very Nice FASTCUT and Great collection of Vintage tin Too awesome Stops Beautiful scenery and road trip

[@DanskRedneck]

Evening brent ty for a fun video

[@mrmongo6722]

Quite the adventure y’all had with the roll back breakage and the places you got to visit. I was very impressed with the blown hemi and all of the engines just setting behind it. The telehandler seemed like the perfect tool to get the Fastcut machine into place. Karl kept a good thing rolling on this trip even with his setbacks. Thanks for sharing the amazing drone footage of your trip!

[@MoondyneJoe]

Hi Brent, sorry the great adventure didn't happen to have the ramp truck in it past a few kms, at least you got a few k's out in it. You where talking about the scenery, I spent 3months in Vancouver and on the island of Vancouver back in 1996, I live in Western Australia, where what we thought of mountains are speed bumps compared to Vancouver flying in after 25 hours + in the air, and seeing real mountains absolutely took my breath away, We relatively flat landers have no concept of how big and magnificent they are, thanks for taking us for the drive along Tony from Western Australia

[@alleyoop1234]

Across BC west to east we have the Coastal Mtn range(quite tall), the Interior plateau, the Monashee Mtn's, the Selkirk Mtns, the Purcell Mtns, then finally the Rockie Mtn's. They get bigger and bigger as you travel east!

[@MoondyneJoe]

@@alleyoop1234 unfortunately I only hung around Vancouver and the island of Vancouver, Mount Washington was a hoot, I was driving my ladies car up the road, in fog you foul don't see any further than about 5 feet, after about 20 minutes and her getting very nervous I turned back oh boy trying to do a u turn when you can't see anything is a heart stopper especially if you haven't a clue what's to the left of you *a drop of a thousand feet 😬 I am glad I didn't, anyway we came back a week or so later when the mountain was clear, I could see why she was panicking a huge drop that would have been a total wipe out should I (who was driving a left hand drive vehicle and usually drives a right handed one ON THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE ROAD! * we got to the top and it was worth every terrifying moment Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@albertorozco5981]

The engines blew my mind...so impressive guys.

[@mikescudder4621]

Love the homemade english wheel in the workshop of the two gentleman. Nice.

[@mikescudder4621]

The projects too of course!

[@mikescudder4621]

Burt and John.

[@brianschmidt2747]

Yep, I know that sound. Power Steering has to be. Transmission sound wood be deeper. Maybe idler pulley. Good luck, guys . Love both of you jokers.

Thanks Fast Cut and Karl helping Brent out

[@robbieautrey3158]

What a great video Brent, sorry you guys didn't get to take the GMC all the way. Love that CNC Plasma Table, that was mighty nice of FastCut to. I'm sure Karl will get the GMC fixed to 100% and hopefully try it again to your place. That was some really beautiful scenery along the way to. Looks like Ester and Pablo were very happy to see you back. 🙂

That panel would be leaving with me! And possibly that 40 Lincoln zephyr!😊

Nice getting a new C&C machine! Stuff happens when going on a road trip. Safe travels the rest of the way!

[@robertbennett9243]

You and Karl are such good friends. Sorry the ramp truck had problems. BIG kudos to Fastcut. It will be awesome for you.

[@albertorozco5981]

Its awesome to see how so many youtube people connect and help each other out.

[@vikingfather1]

Amazing scenery in the mountains! Love it!

Another Badazzz build by the crew at Carl's ..hats off to u all ..

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

If Burt or John put a half inch spanner down would they ever find it again - Brilliant set up - Drive safe!

[@larryreece1403]

Bummer that the ramp truck couldn't Make the trip! But a Road trip is still better than just about anything!

[@richardhill4862]

I know it's disappointing, but at least you made it back. You guys do live with some very beautiful country, we don't have that down in the state of Kansas. The garage was cool, but Fast was a little interesting. I am amazed at the two tables you put together and the stuff they could turn out. I love Bert and John's place, a guy could get lost looking at all the stuff. Cool road trip!

[@johnds6621]

Glad Fastcut gave you a table you needed it. Can't wait to see you use it.

[@Telephony954]

Bummer about the RT in the new hauler. great visit with a fellow hoarder. Nice people at the World Headquarters of Fast Cut. Great to see the new CNC action. thanks for sharing. Be well.

[@albertorozco5981]

Brent..the best part of a trip is being on the passenger side. You get to enjoy all the the scenery and relax. Besides. Let Carl get any traffic tickets 😂😂😂😂

[@NZMOPAR]

Very nice table .

[@terryeustice5399]

Brent and Karl you men worked so hard on the ramp truck. Then to have to turn around and use his pick-up and trailer. Well got the Fast Cut Table set up. I guess the ramp truck will have another episode. Thank you for sharing. 💯💕👊👍

[@ronbunker5778]

Too bad the ramp truck had an issue, but it will be resolved. Beautiful country out there!

[@ericargo9157]

Great episode. You guys are friends for life. Awesome stuff.

[@brianwilson5594]

I'm secretly glad all that bare steel on the ramp truck didn't go on the road. Hope it's an easy fix, but it needs protection against the wet before it hits the road!

[@1208bug]

Great video Brent. The FastCut is an excellent addition to you new shop.😎👍

[@123gonow]

That was an awesome trip ! Thanks bringing us along guys. Glad Brett has a new table as well !

Great show. It’s nice to have friends like you all are. I see the wife was glad to see you and Karl also. LOL

[@dfusit]

Great video from two great guys, thanks for taking everyone along with you.

[@bigjarn]

We built one for a 36 Chevy Modified Sportsman on a 50 Chevy five-window dooly cab and chassis. We ended up changing to a 454 with Muncie 4 speed and overdrive. Once done, we traveled all over, running Friday nights, Saturday nights, and early Sunday afternoons. New York's seven-mile hill was no longer a problem

[@albertorozco5981]

The duct tape job was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

Thats such a nice setup ! Looking forward to seeing you use it !

[@alanpaulick7815]

Thanks for sharing your road trip with happy Karl. The table is awesome Brent. Take care guy's.

[@markbrown6236]

Too bad ramp truck didn't make it, but hanging out with a good friend makes up for it. Fast Cut is really getting their name out there now with a couple of the big utube Canadian channels on board. Pablo was happy to see you.

[@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248]

Great vid, nice cut quality on that machine. And amazing scenery, Canada is such a beautiful country. And you all seem like such decent people 🙂

[@jackmehoff2961]

Minty ! Thank You for sharing your video, and bringing us along . Later ...

[@brycechessum4684]

Cool roadie and awesome stops along the way, Ive seen what Karl and Elio can produce on his cnc table what a great piece of kit, Shame about the ramp truck but test till something breaks and modify as required.

[@rickardjohnson4524]

Great Landscapes!!!...

[@donnieslaughter764]

Awesome Brent can't have to many great tools

[@usmclee65]

We have all been there ! Hot rodding !

[@malcolmyoung7866]

An awesome trip and a great comedy pairing if there ever was one. Despite the Ramp Truck not being there for the whole time.. arriving home all smiles etc. I wonder if it would have been ‘all smiles’ if the Ramp Truck had made the journey ? Comfort is a wonderful thing. Maybe the ramp truck needs done tweaks without going overboard? (After it’s fixed of course) That CNC is the ‘Dogs Obvious’ FastCut have picked two of the best fabricators and ‘Tubers’ out there in KZbin Land. (Other great fabricators are available) Have you a buyer for your old CNC, Brent? Keep working together there is an obvious energy and friendship happening before our eyes it’s a rare thing that makes me smile when watching a KZbin video. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@donhoughton271]

The truck needs your logo on the top of the cab 😊😊.

[@cliffjamerson3107]

Man Canada is beautiful

[@roberthocking9138]

What a shame, that truck was sweet. Look forward to seeing it again down the track and finding out what was wrong. Beautiful scenery on that road trip, wherever it was ? Bert & John’s , wow what set up

[@lewismartin9980]

There's good people out there 😊😊
