The reason so many like this type of Build is because it looks like something most people can afford and accomplish in their own home garage. You do a really great job of showing the in and out of the builds. Great job!

[@richardsanborn7963]

it doesnt cost much more to do it the right way!!

[@Projectlife2023]

👑 Great in depth video 🤙🏻

[@ratinsurance2053]

Great video! The body and paint turned out awesome! And the fact that it didn’t cost $70K to build is refreshing.

[@davidwwalkerii]

I honestly wasn’t expecting to watch the full hour but there wasn’t a dull moment. Great job on the build and shoutout to the editor lol 👑

[@CaseysCustoms]

Thank you very much ! 🙌🙌

[@918j]

👑 love how you put the build into one long video afterwards!

[@CaseysCustoms]

Thank you and well done 👑👏👏

[@jozefbochenek9971]

So Legit, I do love the budget build, unfortunately the tooling used may not be available to everyone, but hopefully friends will chip in for welding, fitting, etc. In any case, this video proves that patience can decrease cost drastically. If you can wait for the right body and the right chassis, everything can work out! Thanks Casey for showing a true garage build.

[@perotekku]

Been collecting parts for an engine swap over the last year and a half. Like all things in life, it either costs you time or money, or a combination of both.

[@williambuckner818]

👑 Thanks for making this. The video just popped up in my feed, and I'm glad I took the "chance" watching it. It was great to see how you mated the donor chassis from a modern passenger car with the old style truck body. I've never seen it before, and it was not just entertaining, but informative too. You are a brave soul for taking on all of the different challenges to make this budget build, not to mention having talent and skill. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos.

[@d3ads0ul89]

👑I'm a sort of truck guy so seeing this happen with a $1000 budget really does it for me. Caseys Customs your the true savage!!!!

[@initialdad6715]

👑This was the first video I've seen of yours. Quality content. Super happy I came across this video. Always thought this was something that would cost 10k+ and was just impossible for me. This has got me hungry for a project.

Hey, Thank you for watching!

[@Greg-om2hb]

I’ve long wanted to build a rat rod. Thanks for showing me how you did it. I learned a lot and I enjoyed spending an hour with you.

Always Good for Tips and Ideas for Building on a Budget... Also Not with a List of Speed Part's or Top Level Materials etc. Thanks for Sharing. I also just watched the body off frame video of the "51 Chevy Budget Build... Keep Up the Great Work

[@CaseysCustoms]

Thank you very much!

[@imaccadacca5106]

Incredible build! The extended panels and the patina looks so natural. To top it all off, you did it all yourself. Amazing!!!

[@juddmuterspaw4081]

👑I don’t think I have ever watched an hour long video ever! I really enjoyed the build. A chassis swap always seemed just more than I could handle, but after your series and an idea of what I would be in for, I think I could probably do it. Thanks for the info and inspiration! Going to sub!

[@CaseysCustoms]

Thank you very much for watching all the way through and for being a sub! 👏👏

You did a great job brother!

The glass cutting was quite the emotional Rollercoaster. I was on the edge of my seat. Sick build. Low-buck stuff is inspiring as hell. Subscribed!

[@Chris-zp6eh]

Really good stuff, brother. It’s the little problems like the rollover switch, chassis grounds and cutting the glass that the DIY guys like me want to see. Can’t stand it when KZbinrs skip over the hardest parts of builds. Thx for keeping it real. Liked and subbed. I watched the whole video!

[@david929190]

Halfas customs showed using a special wheel on a grinder for doing windshields and other laminated glasses. It rips through the material in a controlled way.

[@BrainsofFrank]

Crown!! This is killer!! I love the patina that you were able to make! Also I’ve never really seen a chop done. I knew they were complex but I never realized that you had to cut it up so much awesome job

[@CaseysCustoms]

Thank you very much, yea the chops are always a lot more difficult then people think. That’s why you see so many abandoned chopped cars for cheap lol

[@Troy-Sheets]

@@CaseysCustoms Great job on this build. What happens with the side windows, do they need to be cut down or do they still operate normally and just don't get rolled up as far? I could see if you changed the dimensions of the opening the windows potentially not fitting any longer but can't quite wrap my head around if it's a problem or not.

[@ilingwang1168]

Thanks for making these entertaining and informative videos while building cars that can be attainable for the common person. Not everyone has an unlimited budget. Love the patina techniques…

[@paulwerner3150]

Yeah, I think the "patina" turned out great! Looks very original.

[@robertdeal-q7y]

👑 I just discovered your channel yesterday and have been binge watching it ever since. The long videos are great. Most people don’t show the trial and error part of a build.

[@skunkworks2059]

I loved it. Very cool. The metal work that you did , I found very informative. Gives me now different options for my build. I really like the way the hood opened like a big rig. Thanks so much for all the videos.

[@JeepXJ8895]

I dig the compilation video. It has a lot of appeal despite being an hour long+ it was cool seeing the evolution of the project through one condensed version. Keep this up!

[@EricV63]

Not having done this type of swap, it was interesting to see your process and all the more so on a budget build. I would have liked to have seen more of what you did with the interior, but still an amazing amount of work to make this project happen and all the editing work that went into it. Well done and thanks for sharing it with the world. (and yes, I did watch the entire thing!)

[@kyleweems5065]

I am curious on how this works as well.

[@paulwerner3150]

Probably has something to do with the VIN

I have a blue 56 f100 with GM sb motor mounts, turbo 350 transmission and an impala rear axle. It’s been sitting since the mid 1980s without an engine. It’s been in the family since my grandfather bought it in the early 1970s. My father converted it to a GM engine and drive terrain. He went to school to be a welder and he ended up becoming a arborist for the rest of his career, lol.

[@ryanwagner3223]

The 56 f100 was originally a green and black fender GTE telephone truck.
