Will The Giveaway Truck Get FINISHED On Time?

[@onecraftydude]

TRIANGLE TAIL LIGHTS. Use that triangle space for tail lights. Make a bezel to fit the space and cut some plastic to fit it.

[@Grimm-Gaming]

And turn signals in the circle

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

That’s been an idea! Good thinkin!

[@jeremyzeimet3631]

I've been watching for a long time. It's been fun to watch your skills level up, and i for sure want this truck

[@nocoasthero1204]

The band file is definitely a game changer. I’d also like to say something that I’m probably gonna get shit on for saying! “You don’t need gas if you use flux core” I love flux core

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Ew for flux core 😂

[@kensmith8832]

From the rear, the 1969 Bat-mobile feel is coming out, does this mean a black with red highlights paint job? This project is showing a huge improvement since the Bug-MR2 days! You will need a special place in the body for your logo and signature! Be sure to put your signature in weld, as it is hard to paint over.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Love how the bed turned out.

[@mattiasandersson5673]

Nice work! Like it! Music instead of grinding noice genius! Just ad some more humor...watch Caseys Custom for inspiration maybe... 👍👍👍

[@DeadFront1319]

This build is sick! You're kill'n it!

[@SteveTheBeardedWonder]

I really enjoy the content on this channel and Preston's personality. Really makes me look forward to new uploads.

[@D4mo2612]

I've got a Ryobi grinder, and it's still going 10 years later.

[@Peter-jo3wt]

@@D4mo2612 Had my Ryobi grinder since 2012.

[@AndyPonting]

Good work Preston, you're right about the finger file, it's one of those tools you get and wonder why you hadn't got one sooner. Keep at it mate, you'll get it done - it's looking great so far!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Haha seriously, and thanks!

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

This thing is close to needing an old school Gumout logo on the door. Keep it up Presto-Preston!

[@bigbadjohn8534]

Looking good my man! You got this brother keep on trucking!

[@chrisblandford9260]

Great work, Preston. Ive been following you since you started mr2 bug project. Your skills have come a very long way from then. This truck will be awesome. Keep doing what you are doing and have fun. I did my trade as a panel beater in Australia. I enjoy watching you improve all the time.

[@jimg3466]

Bro gumout is a dream come true! your almost there

[@shanewright6958]

You are doing a great job on this track bed 👍👍

[@Enter-a-name55]

Hey Preston. I have a non professional tip for a non professional (that's you). Whenever you're welding sheet metal panels, do as much welding from the backside as possible. That way you don't need to spend so much time grinding and finishing. Thats providing the backside cannot be seen. I started doing this years ago and it saves so much time.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I did on a few areas but not as much as I should have, thanks for the tip! I’ll remember that for next time!

[@BrainsofFrank]

Engage panic mode!!! 🙀 ❤ loving the build

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

🫣

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MaryDowning-py5tp]

Looking great! ❤

[@SketchyAsFunk]

Oh new working music!

[@kevinhamling1963]

G'day, Mr Preston. What you've done with the rear looks awesome. Don't change it. Keep the updates coming man. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Awesome, thanks dude

[@benstrait333]

The truck is looking good, and I liked the music for this video too🤘

[@BenSonOfJohn]

Looking dang fine.

[@nselstudio3336]

The bed is looking awesome!!

[@TheBlaqDeval]

Truck looks amazing and do know you need all the time to finish loose ends on it but please dont just use LED lighting and plexi glass for rear lights! The truck is a classic rat rod and if you could implement rear taillights for late 50s fin style (like ones on caddy or whatever) that would look so much awesome... Regarding front headlights, it is mainly two options, classic cone buckets with either being placed one on each fender like Peterbilt trucks or you could have them by the grill like the original look, all above can be found by nearest junkyard to you, with little wire wheeling, you already have 2 items scrapped off your list! Btw glass isnt a problem and can be done by yourself if you went with a plexiglass sheet and made templates for your side windows and would just work as fine with track and all (if you are super tight on time for actual glass being cut if roof is chopped) Great work brother!

[@MrBillsfishin]

Looking great mister.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thank you sir!

[@danielrielly2153]

Love the overall design thinking the mould on the bottom of the cab would look good continuing along the bed bottom just to keep the look going

[@MrNiceguy-z1w]

Dude puts the sauce in the soup !!!

[@jonhesselink795]

Good Job

[@AlteredCarbons]

fab work is great looking

[@pnwthings5419]

I like the looks of it!!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Awesome!

[@harrypapageorge9735]

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Okay thank you!

[@accoRding2Joel]

Love the intro music!

[@rollerdragon]

my only thing is i can't drive anymore.. or, i'd enter... Preston, i love what you are doing!! just make that 25 min point!!!

[@StraightLineCycles]

Yay!

[@markschaffer7234]

Will you put on some wheel arches ?

[@ATCAdventureland]

Dyna file is that little finger sander thingy is called

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Ah perfect! Thank you!

[@EdWallace-cy3fw]

Shout out to gumout for realizing this is worth it good job preston

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

They’re awesome!

[@RogerFleury-rh9wr]

68th! Preston,the truck would look bitchin’ painted a deep ruby red with a small amount of metal flake in it. Just my opinion. It would look great in my garage. To take out every weekend and run around town. And probably join the local car club. It’s coming along quite well as I knew it would. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Red would look sick, I have another questionable idea I’m excited to see how it turnsnout

[@RogerFleury-rh9wr]

Can’t wait to see what it is. Hope you can find tail lights that fit in the triangle holes on each side of the bed of the truck. That would be a great finishing touch.

[@GeneFever]

Halfway thru the vid and I gotta say the soundtrack slaps on this one. Atta boy Preston.

[@cocostacoyalgomas6803]

Look good

[@larryhall6416]

What a great idea😮

[@Peter-jo3wt]

I'm looking at Harley replacement headlight buckets for my Model T. May I suggest that you can too. Tail lights: same, same. The original Model T tail lights look an awful lot like Harley"s 1 1/2 inch, round flat, tail pucks.

[@Enter-a-name55]

The only issue with using a motorcycle headlight bucket is the mounts. Most bike headlights have two mounting spots on the side which are flattened for the brackets. They also have a large hole in the back for wiring. I just think you would have too much time involved in cleaning up a bike headlight bucket to mount on a car. What I have used in the past,,, stainless steel mixing bowls. They come in lots of different sizes, you can find them at any dollar store, they are cheap, and they only have a little flat spot on the very bottom. That's the nice thing about building custom vehicles,, there are no rules for what you can use. Use whatever you like as long as the end result is what you were after.

[@Peter-jo3wt]

@Enter-a-name55 When you're fabricating vertually everything, on a vertually new rat rod, having brand new operating light buckets running 12V high & low beams, purchased as a unit right outta the box, is a gift. Mounting them is entirely up to the fabricobbler.

[@McGruff2008]

Maybe a step there between the cab and wheel. A little stepside.

[@KennithMarkland]

Make the 2 triangles the tail lights on back of bed. That would look suck

[@BlackOpsJuJu]

This Truck is Going to Be SO AMAZING I want it SOSOSOOOOO BAD !!!!!!!!

[@alanwheelock1460]

licked the music

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@StraightLineCycles]

Must add speed holes, and a cowl hood, but only the cowl part is the hood

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Hmmmm

[@aaronstewart677]

Lovin it!

[@BrianW2979]

Maybe I'm missing something, but why couldn't you lift thee bed straight up to take it off instead of sliding it back. I liked the look of the square parts you cut off. If you're going to add something back in its place, how about an angled piece that matches the back of the truck. I think it would give more strength to that part of the bed

[@irwoody2]

👍

[@betobaguilar1253]

How do we get in the give away you are having? Please respond thanks.

[@jefft7968]

The quickest way to find out is to read the video description. It's tricky, because he used words like "Enter to WIN this truck for FREE!" directly above the link used to sign up to ...Enter to WIN this truck for FREE!

[@darrenswails]

My problem is I don't remember if already entered this month because you're supposed to only enter once a month..

[@somdood3292]

in the final few seconds of the video the top right side rail of the bed curves upward near the body of the car, you said lemme know what i(the viewer) wants... i want you to fix that rail so its straight lol... im just being picky this thing is so dope that it doesnt even matter

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Haha okay perfect!! Thanks!! I must’ve looked right over that!

[@danh2360]

I could see that thing looking mean with a matte black finish but I don't think it would matter even if it was barbie pink.

[@kizzMYgritsz]

please dimple die that bottom pannel on the back of the bed to let the air out as it will act like a chute and may even pull itself off with the air it traps

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Yes yes that’s been a part of the plan! Good looking out!

[@subhumann]

I likes it! gonna go have some soup. I like soup

[@MrJermbob]

Dam that music was annoying. Love the vid as always.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Haha really? Sorry tried something new, lots of other said they enjoyed the music but I appreciate your input!

[@larpzy989]

Forever shut your mouth! Lmao!!!! When u paint ,a dark red. Alot or people do black. Love all the builds brother. Keep em comin

Hey now

4:20 if you got Milwaukee you probably would have made hundreds of thousands 🤷‍♂️

Fuel the fire my friend….

@GARAGEIdiotS ⛽️

[@DirtySideGetsDown]

For the most part I am digging what your doing here, but those stake pockets are what make those beds look so good. You could just take the wheels off if the bed is coming off. Didn't need to remove one of the coolest features of those beds for a mechanical scenario that will almost never happen anyway.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Well gosh dang that’s a good point 😂😂 literally didn’t even think about that

[@DirtySideGetsDown]

@ that’s what is viewers are here for. Armchair quarterbacks to keep you in line. 🤣😂🤣 I have a KZbin channel too, I know all about the viewers. lol
