[@brucejohnson6398]

Good to see your mum didn't raise a quitter. Shes still there in your heart and memories driving you forward and helping you be the best Kevin you can be. Every day is mothers day with just a thought and thanks in her direction. Loving your content and the Cutlass build. Go in peace and keep the black dog far behind you. Thanks from one of the most remote cities on earth.

[@baddaddy8718]

Perth?

[@gregbrazel3338]

Kevin, thank you for sharing life with us, being vulnerable about some hard sad times in life ain't always easy to share. Sounds like your mum was is important to you and she was a real loving mum to be round. Having Cleet, a friend closer than a brother is a good mate, to carry you through tuff times. Kevin you have a great caring, gentle spirit, what a great man, father, partner, friend, boss you are. You will rise up on wings of eagles, you will walk n not be faint, you will run and not grow weary. God bless.

[@BrickNewton]

Big hug from me Kevin, my boys lost their mum just over 5 years ago. Glad that you had something to focus on.

[@disgrutledhobo6204]

Lost my mom 2 yrs ago on Easter. Miss her every day. Like you, im pluggin along and, puttin the pain in the past and moving forward. Our moms didnt raise quitters! Love this build Kevin! You are giving me inspiration to work on my hot rod even when i dont have a clue as to what im doing! LOLZ Thank you man!!

[@L.A55]

Sorry about the loss of your Mom Kevin..Time heals.. Been there recently also.. Cleetus coming through for a friend seems to be part of his personality I've noticed..

[@stephcooper5998]

I have had my mom for all of my life. Sadly now only in my memories. Happy Mother's Day!

[@charlieshammer6129]

Sweet, loving the build Kevin, glad your back better than ever, thank God for real friends.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Yep!

[@PlodTRDMotorsports]

Lost my.mum June 2020 too. Sorry for your loss Kev. Time just allows us the chance to adjust. Grief has no rules, no time limit. Do what you need to do. A friend like Garret is one in a million too. I'm a subscriber because of what you n Cleetus were doing on Sick Week all those years ago in Mullet.

[@beabout33]

I feel your pain about your mother, as i lost mine on jan. 1st, 2023. I definitely miss her every day. Love your videos. It's awesome to watch a true master at work!

[@Greasekind14]

Lost my mom in 2021, it’s definitely not been easy to continue without her. Losing both parents before I was 36 wasn’t a fun experience. So yes enjoy your parents while you can.

[@lasseystad3266]

Im sorry for your loss. Lost my mother 19 years ago. Miss her to this day. We dont selebrate mothersday here in Sweden until the 26th this month. But always light a candle for her and remember times with her. You should name your cutlass in her memory. Regards from Sweden.

[@REDBIRD-95]

My Mom passed away from cancer almost 14 years ago. It hit me really hard and I was also in a dark place for a while. I could talk to her about anything. So happy for you Kevin that Garrett helped you through that difficult time. I just try to live one day at a time and try to make the best of what comes my way. Have a great Sunday my friend👍

[@Bill_N_ATX]

I remember when my Mother passed and I was having a tough time. I called a friend who had lost his mother many years earlier and asked him when it got better. He said he’d call me when it happened. Your Mom is special and she will always be in your heart. So remember your Mom on Mother’s Day and you folks who can, please be sure to see or at least call her. You’ll be happy one day that you did.

[@carolegoodwin6161]

My mom passed May 17, 1999 - still miss her everyday - she lived with my husband and I for 12 years while she went through medical issues. As long as you remember those who we've lost they are still with us. Make sure you call those who you love and let them know how you feel about them! Another great video Kevin, thanks for helping me get my car enthusiast fixes!

[@OriginalMomo]

Mornings with KSR and the Cutlass! ☕️

[@hillbillywes100]

Thanks for sharing your mothers day story, I have the same feelings!

[@MikeY77z28]

Sorry for your loss of your mom Kevin.I'm glad you had a good support from your family and friends.

[@lunkydog]

Sorry about your mom and appreciate your advice to the ones who's moms are still living.

[@patriotbrickrepairhotrodsa6099]

Lost my dad in 2001 when I was 25 and it still hurts daily We worked together daily Still have my mom but she's 81 now and not doing well !!!! I know how you felt and still do feel !!!! Prayers my friend

[@zeekk109]

Kelvin’s Sunday confessional vid, I understand your compulsion for perfection, I too suffer from it but damn when you sit back and look at what you’ve accomplished it’s a good feeling

[@nolt4024]

Thanks for sharing your story Kevin. My wife and I lost both our moms one in 2012 and the other in 2015 both to cancer. It’s ripped the center from both our families. Missing the small things are hard to deal with on days like today. Mostly my kids not groaning up with grandmothers is prolly the hardest of all. Hug your loved ones every day everyone. We don’t get to keep them forever and the time we do is always too short. Take the opportunity whenever you can to make memories that last and relish the little things as those are what’s missed the most when they’re no longer around.

[@chrislowery185]

Kevin, Thanx for sharing, and including us in this adventure we call life.

[@jd440]

My condolences to you Kevin. I know all too well how you must be feeling. Over the last 10-11 years I've lost everyone on my father's side, two people on my mom's side (grandmom and uncle)..all due to cancer, and my sister (suicide) was the most recent one this past Easter. Big hugs man. It's rough going through this. Please know, your mom is proud of you and your decisions and accomplishments. You do great work and you're thoughtful and very meticulous. Which is hard to come by these days with most people. Maybe at some point if I'm ever down that way for vacation or something, I'll stop through and say hello, have a beer or something if you have time, talk all things cars, show you my ride..etc. Ive Been following you and cleetus for a while now. Great content with both of your channels. Keep your head up. You have people who care quite a bit for you and what you do.

[@micheltremblay4774]

Still have my mom and she is in good health at 96. I wished her a great mother's day. Sorry you lost yours, Take care Kevin.

[@micheltremblay4774]

And I Skype with her every day for half an hour. Helps keep the spirit up. Bless her.

[@danmyers9372]

I still have both my parents which is incredible. Dad is 97 and mom is almost 94.

[@danmyers9372]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother Kevin. And thanks for thinking enough of us your followers to share something so personal. On a lighter note the old Buick is looking good! 😉

[@KEIFabrication]

Sorry for the loss of your mom. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I lost my mom in January 2021. With both parents now gone, some big voids. This car hobby stuff has been some great therapy.

[@shawncarlson705]

Sorry about your mom. She will be proud of you watching down on you. I lost my mom a few years ago too. Keep your chin up and keep going man.

[@chriskennedy8309]

Hate to hear about your momma, I lost my dad in October 2. It’s hard to lose someone we love so much.. praying for ya bud. Your momma raised a great man and very talented fabricator.. God bless you Kevin! I love your videos brother!

[@PinksGarage]

I lost my mother many years before I started KZbin. It's been 10 years, and I was just wanting to talk to her the other day. Keep up the good work. Enjoying this build.

[@Squintz45]

That was a lot of work! But totally worth it, that fit is awesome! I lost my Dad 2 months ago. I live way out west so I do not get to see my folks much. I am getting ready to move back to the east coast as Mom isn't getting any younger. Sorry for your loss Kev.

[@djrisberg]

Good advice Kevin. I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was 16...and lost my dad when I was 20. I did CPR on my dad for 30 min after he had a stroke. You don’t stop missing them, but if you look close in the mirror, you get closer to them every day. You honor them best by being comfortable being yourself...the object of their love as you love your daughters. Blessed all around.

[@robertpenn250]

I feel you brother. I lost my Dad to cancer in 2020. His passing was sudden to. Me my Mom and sisters were by his side when he passed. It tore my soul out watching him take his last breath. So take one day at a time. It does get easier.

[@Sean-i4r]

So sorry about your mom Kevin, I lost mine too,but she is alive,so,I can't say I know how you feel,but,condolences sent my friend

[@livingwithshelties]

We lost our mother 2019 happy mother's day to everyone. Thanks for the new video KSR

[@2005StangMan]

Lost my mom almost 5 years ago after years of her battling cancer. I still miss her all the time, but when I get down, I just try to focus on the good times.

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

Each person's journey through grieving is as unique as a snowflake, and no-one can truly appreciate what you and your kin are feeling, even today. Everyone says that time is a healer, but it never really heals the gaping wounds caused by the loss of someone very special, yet it will narrow them and lessen the pain. Even after many tens of years there are times I am vividly reminded of and miss my parents. But mostly I now smile at those moments. Treasure all the memories you hold, and celebrate your Mom's life every day; I'm sure you do. Think on that nothing goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. What that is and when we learn it will be a revelation to each of us.

[@torque-ej4nu]

kevin, i miss Gainesville and I miss Florida andmost of all i miss my Black 80 Cutlass, still stuck in Indiana at my GS 6 day a week job, sunday is my only day off, but i am up early for your Sunday olds build videos. ty for the taste of home man. and just for the record next time you are hiring, hmu. i wannaget back to building racecars and out of general repair.

[@espensmith9537]

Thanks for sharing your story and sorry for your loss, Kevin. Keep up the good work, love your Sunday videos.

[@bb7549]

Kevin, thanks for sharing about your mom and passing on the great advice. You just never know. Wishing you and your family all the best.

[@cmoor7928]

Kevin, you sell yourself too short bro. My first memories of watching True Drag Cars in the works, was through you and Cleetus. You being the one that worked on Mullet, and Ruby, I thought, this guy is the man. Hence why I'm so eager to see the progress on your Cutlass! Much love to all the mom's out there!

[@marcoshuerta8661]

Definitely something you never get over, but over time you learn to live with. Sure she's looking over and couldn't be more proud of you. Big love man

[@jjones1920]

Sorry for you losing her so young. But she raised a great man. And that bar is fire. That looks so good. Awesome job sir!

[@felixrodriguez2509]

My condolences Kevin, your mum is really proud that you still working ahead

[@adamreynolds1851]

Sorry about your mom ,my wife lost hers a month after she turned 21 and there was some dark times ,glad to see your putting one foot in front of the other ,glad your came back to youtube !!

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Great video Kevin! You are such a perfectionist with your work and it always shows. So sorry about your mom. I lost mine in January of 2021. Big thanks to Cleetus for helping you through it. Be safe!

[@eltay3]

Your level of craftsmanship is admirable and inspiring. Keep up the great work.

[@Ch4rlieTun4]

Im sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing your story, I hope it helps lesson the pain a little.

[@flintlock_glockTJR]

I love everything about this build, Im glad youre out of your dark place, and im glad you're sharing it with us. Your Mom would be so proud of you, man. I know she already was.

[@CFBtechnologies]

Lost mine back in 95, and yes, it still sucks. All we can do is to move forward the alternative is even worse. Love your content I'm glad you keep making more.

[@funnybike1740]

God bless your mother and your family lost my father and my mother is dealing with cancer so I can understand your pain

[@pimpedpga]

Thanks for sharing, Kevin. I try to do things that make me happy when I'm struggling with life's stresses. Keep up the awesome work, love the videos.

[@scottz63]

Great work. Attention to detail and close to perfection as possible! Mom already called. I'm so sorry you cannot call yours, but she hears and see's you. :)

[@TravisFlint1]

Sorry for your loss Bro...... Love your content!!!!! Let see this BUICK be built....... 😂😂😂😂

[@richardweihert6233]

Kevin, thanks for sharing, I can tell it is still difficult to talk about. I lost my mother too, so I know the feelings. Take care.

[@NickEllett]

Love the good work. And the message in the video. Good friends make for good times even in the bad times.. and gbodys are awesome.

[@jasonwithrow7972]

I too have to fix the body work on my '37 that I did when I was a teenager. I didn't know any better and now that I have more knowledge and (maybe) skills, it is on my list to do. I'm just glad I still have it, too many friends got rid of their first vehicle..

[@seanhayden6415]

I’m sorry for the loss of your mom. I’m sure she would be so proud of what a good man she raised. Your channel is my favorite, I’ve learned so much just watching how you and your guys do things. Hope to meet you someday, much respect for you!

[@robacomb2781]

Still got my mum at 83 and try and spend quality time with her,, shame cleetus did not use you for the new 69 Camaro build

[@jeffruff414]

I'm sorry for your loss! I'm going through that exact thing right now! She s. Always Been My Best Friend! I'm sure I will be like you and miss her everyday!!!!! Could tell it in your voice I'm in that same dark place now,that you were in then. Gives me hope seeing you moving on...I hope I can also....Guess you'd call me a momas boy! Lol...... Hang in there!

[@michaelevans7013]

Glad you had a good lively buddy reach out and get you out of the rat. Now ping the kids mom. Really like those A pillar bars. Neat and stealth and effort in the right places.

[@GrahamDallas]

Yeah, Cutlass Sunday!!

[@aaronb7990]

10:18 Having lost my dad 2 decades ago when I was 21 years old, I tell everyone that loses a parent the same thing. 'It never gets easier. You will miss them forever. Try to think of a good time you had every time that feeling happens, and you will also remember why you miss them forever.'

[@thejohnnybob]

Thank you for that moment of vulnerability, Kevin. We all go through dark times in our lives. It takes a strong person to not only get through those dark times but to talk about them in honest words. To everyone who might read this comment: IT'S OK TO BE NOT OK. Reach out to your support network or to someone who you might notice is not doing so hot lately.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Big facts!

[@everettkemp9539]

I lost my mum 22 years ago now. Still think about her every day, so yes whenever you get the chance talk to your mum and tell her you love her. I wish I did more now. Thanks Kevin for being so open about it and reminding us to talk to our loved ones. You are a good man.

[@johlpietzner4125]

I freakin love these builds!! can not wait to see the start up video for this car whenever that may be. your mum will be super proud of what you have done buddy!!

[@sadiejustin]

Having brunch with my parents today. I will swill a big ol' glass of orange juice for your mom as well. Way to make it out of the darkness Kevin!

[@gafrers]

Yes for Cutlass progress. KSR FTW

[@derrelldurden8683]

The fit up is super nice on that A Pillar bar. Hopefully you can copy and paste it to the other side pretty easy. I saw the Tin Soldier boys do something similar with Charlie Brown. Great minds think alike. Looking forward to the next one.

[@brentclark3627]

Kevin, your cage is super tight to the body so nice so so so nice

[@gorflunk]

Lost my mom unexpectedly while I was many miles away as well. I'd like to think she would want me to keep living life as best I can.

[@dannmohr5721]

Yep know how you feel….. had a project like that and just finished it before the vid started…… now I’m comfortable in my garage in my chair drinking a beer watching you Kevin…… 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Right on!

[@CrazyQbin]

Wow. Always amazed with your work. And that pillar bar looks so good.

[@troyadams1076]

Brother what a great job

[@glennshotrodgarage5509]

Sorry about your mom I spent a good part of the day with my mom those a-pillar bars are going to be nearly invisible when the car is done you will have full visibility out of the windshield well worth the extra effort! Thanks for the videos and the inspiration!

[@j.sarnak1391]

Thanks Kevin!

Happy mothers day, ✌️❤️🙏

I agree with you 1000 percent my friend I missed my mom’s call and never got to talk to her again 🙏🏼🕊️

[@furbmaster08]

Lost my sister unexpectedly in June of 2020 and my mom (to cancer) in June of 2021. Definitely not an easy situation to deal with.

[@matthewmccormick2417]

Sorry about your Mom. I lost my Mom in 2009 from alzhiemers and my Wife in 2018 from a heart attack in her sleep cuddled to me. Yep I woke at 4am with her passed away cuddled to my legs. RIP MOMS we miss you all who have gone

[@davidcashin9194]

Hi Kevin I do know how you felt as I lost my mum many years ago now but I do miss her allot to this day anyway love the videos and you know you are not alone in your thoughts.

[@erikthered9357]

My mom died of lung cancer 5 years ago last February, my dad 4 months before that. Holidays are still hard cause we were a close family but it gets a little easier with every passing year.

[@TravisFlint1]

AMEN! Reach out to friends!

[@d.collier_8280]

I understand how you feel about your mom. I lost mine December 24th 2020 to a heart attack.

[@rockercover]

Glad you talked to your Mom before she passed away and you mentioned positive things, future plans; (biz., KZbin, etc.). Your Mom left earth with good feelings / thoughts about your life.

[@riddlemethis01]

You working on your Buick and me working on my jeep, I might actually finish her this summer 👍

[@Scootermagoo]

I lost my mom day before mothers day 2021 kevin, I feel your pain.

[@T_Burd_75]

i lost my mother in September 2019 and then lost my father in August 2020. Yeah, it sucks. I still find myself wanting to ask them something and then quickly realizing that they are no longer there. Life became a lonely place once I lost my parents. Just one of the many struggles that I deal with every day. But I got through yesterday and now today, and then I'll work on getting through tomorrow.

[@mikecabral1579]

Nice job.

[@BenjySparky]

Kevin,you rock! Sorry about your mom,Kevin. Peace

[@patt20b]

Hey buddy. Good work. I’m a car builder. And a race driver. I’ve been watching you since you started and I’m impressed with your ability’s. You are very good at what you do. And you put the time and effort into your work and I think it is very worth it. You are your guys put everything into your work and it shows at the end of the day when you’re work drives out the door! I closed my shop because of customers here in Australia just want to shortcut and try and get out of spending money where it needs to be spent. Just cheap skates. And when some thing fails because they turn their shit up against the recommendation set in the contract agreement. Then blame me for their stupidity. So now days I just build cars and sell them to make money. And I build them to how I would own them. And I know that every single car is built to the quality as if I’m going to own it. I’m trying to get my own KZbin channel up and running. A lot of work and I don’t have a job like you. So I take my hat off to you! Keep up the good work buddy you may not see the worth yet but I do. Cain hard lad.

[@marklord9404]

Looks nice Kevin

[@chriszasada9756]

Every day Kev, every day

[@foulmouthgonz7174]

[@webbracing2021]

I’m going to watch this whole Series then this winter I’ll have a much better idea of caging my s10!

[@CarsCatAliens]

I like to leave this when I see fit. The three most important things in life. 1)family and loved ones 2)your health 3) Time Cherish and appreciate these. For when you lose them, you never get them back..
