After 30 years I'm retired from GM . I would rather have one of your creations than any of the cars have helped build in 30 years ! Keep up the good work my friend .
If I could ask the designers at GM one thing it would be, why did they made the trucks rounded and ugly from 2000ish on. Most Chevy fans like the square body of the 70s-80s. If they sold brand new square-bodies with a cabureted 350 right now they would probably sell a ton of them.
That bumper rocks! Your misdirected dimple die reminds me of something I read about the Amish ladies who quilt. They can make a perfect quilt, so they stitch a flaw in it because only God is perfect. There's the flaw in your quilt. This truck WILL be perfect.
I think the bumper looks great! He is a question; what can’t you fabricate? You are amazingly talented! Enjoy watching you build and your process. Thanks for posting.
I was in love with the roll pan on the back. Then you put the bumper on and made it even more badass!! My truck is getting cooler by the minute! Cheers
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity. The way you see things in your mind's eye and then turn that vision into something that is, in my opinion, a work of art is truly amazing. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see this truck when it's completed!!
I know what you mean. When he pitches an idea, I think in my mind, that won’t look good. When he builds it I think, that’s the way it’s suppose to look. He’s a pleasure to watch. 😮
Awesome work Brent , I personally think bringing the bumper on around like your gut is telling you is the way to go. However you choose to do it will be fine. In the end you will be the one driving her. Keep up the awesome work…
I've been trying to get in your ear about a mill for a while now...nice to see you get another piece of the puzzle for the shop and your builds. You're gettin pretty high tech over there dude, I know these improvements and additions to your shop are going to pay off. Party on, Brent and Co.
Just another opinion... If you look at the bed rail top and then the angle to the bottom, you will see the finder top to the end of the bumper is the same angle. I think it fits and should stay the way you have it. The truck looks really good for sure!!
Either of the two choices would work. Think you’ve got it spot on first time. Amazing how these bumpers have transformed the back end. Very interesting..
Pointed ends back on each side,then cut out center and weld in the piece with the plate lite upside down to shine on your plate. This will also leave a place under there to exit exhaust pipes (cut as wide as you need)😎👍
I've seen you pressed the holes of the brackets in the same way ! Hahaha ! It's a part of my job too, so I see things many others don't see ! Anyway, it's under the truck, and you are the only one to know.😉 At first the bumper seemed to be too much, but when you put the tail lights on, it made sense. The idea to adjust the end of the bumper with the fender makes sense too. I think you are on the right way, this truck will be really awesome !!!😉
What a crazy transformation from what it was... I honestly don't like it as much as the 54 we put to the side with the blown motor.. can't wait to see the 54. Still liked every episode I've ever seen many years of liking to a great teacher.
Definitely add the rear bumper extension! It looks really great just you holding it there. Worth the extra effort. Having said that, it’s your project and your doing a fantastic job without our input! Looking really good, 😊 .
Brent, who am I to give you advice. I know it's more work, but since you asked and it's not my work.....I like adding the pointed side extensions back on. Looks more finished to me. Either way this truck is coming out fantastic. One of my favorite halfass builds.
One of the things I like about your videos is that you don't waste my time with a 15-30 second lead-in composed of channel branding/fluff at the very start. You get right down to business. Nothing annoys me more than having to sit thru some cheesy branding for a channel that I'm already familiar with. Please don't change a thing.
Go for it. Add on. The principle of a "bumper" is to protect the bodywork. As is, it doesn't protect that corner. I know they only perform that role visually these days but it IS a principle.
Love the truck, coming along great. So this is just a comment, not a complaint - but every time i see the back end, I see my old 72 Chevelle. Not that that's a bad thing lol, just saying, I can't not see it. Can't wait to see this in paint, give Pablo some treats for us!
I say go for it on the bumper, for me, looking at the way your running boards contour with the front and rear fenders it makes sense for the bumper to wrap in a similar manner. just my humble opinion. the whole project is coming along real nice, can't wait to see it finished.
Bumper looks great, your vision is right on don’t over think it. If you add on that other bumper piece it look to wide at the wheel well. Like, share and tell your friends
The GMC roadster is cool . you need to carry runing board to the bumper ,move the bumper out and tapper it, fill in like your runingboard. You could also put reciever in the center of the bumper with a opetional brake light.
I think I started watching about three years ago. I watch many of the other’s, but I think you are the best. I like how your thought process works. I started a channel called mywaymfg. Been doing a 40 ford. You inspired me lol 😂. Any way thank you for the videos. I always learn more watching them!
Brent, ask Ester. If she tells you that changing the bumper that way will result in your stuff being on the porch; well... For my part, I get a hue of a 1971 Chevelle or later Corvette when I look at it and that leads to the next thought, the middle of the bumper would be a good place for the fuel tank filler neck with the fold down license plate covering it. Also, I like it chrome.
It definitely looks appropriate and at my point of view wrapping around and tapering to bring closer to outside of fender but not past would finish the look. But when i saw the drinkers side from the rear where there will be fill pannel it looked like it could have exhaust poking out just above bumper until i thought of all the extra bends in the pipe to poke it out slightly up and outwards. Regardless fabuloso. It is already award-winning build.
The longer extension is less worse, but tossing the whole thing knowing now what you didn't then--and then looking for a better solution might be a viable option . . . 🙂

George Barris famously said "you cant see both sides at the same time" so dont sweat the differences.
Oddly enough, I apply the same logic to my beard. 😂
I think we all do lol @@russellmorgan5611
That was after two Barris guys did each rear fender sculpture slightly different on the famous Shinoda Merc and it sold for millions.
I think it looks awesome the way you have it give Pablo and Buddie a treat

I’m also a GM retiree and totally agree with you

Great to see a milling machine in your shop! 😄Truck is coming along great. This is gonna be a good one.
You’re definitely on the right track with that bumper.
Pablo won't tell. Treats for silence! Right pops!
Really like the bumper tucked into the rear of the fender. It preserves the signature lines of the rear of the truck. Cool stuff, Brent!👍😎
I think the bumper looks great! He is a question; what can’t you fabricate? You are amazingly talented! Enjoy watching you build and your process. Thanks for posting.
I like it! If we are voting leave it the way it is or shorten it to tuck in closer! Take care
Live with a few days, then decide! Thanks for the video!
The rear bumper looks smart to me 👍
Your fleet of personalized cars is awesome..when you're done with this project, take a picture of your fleet 👍🏼
Love the bumper and yes please modify the ends it really finishes it off.
The modifications and time spent doing has really made this build
I was in love with the roll pan on the back. Then you put the bumper on and made it even more badass!! My truck is getting cooler by the minute! Cheers
I like the bumper treatment Brent, it looks good the way you shortened it.. Exhaust all the way out the back is my vote.
Nailed it Brent . Beautiful !
I'd be in favour of the end extensions
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity. The way you see things in your mind's eye and then turn that vision into something that is, in my opinion, a work of art is truly amazing. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see this truck when it's completed!!

Looks good . Reminds me of a 1962 Impala .
I vote Yes, add the end cap spears to the bumper. Looking great!
I like the look with ends out farther on the fender. You amaze me at how you can visually see the look and then go for it. 👍👍
Add the tips to the bumper. It does finish. The look
Looks great Brent! I think you should go with finishing off the bumper ends. Graft those pieces back on and trim to fit. I'm loving this truck!!
Awesome work Brent , I personally think bringing the bumper on around like your gut is telling you is the way to go. However you choose to do it will be fine. In the end you will be the one driving her. Keep up the awesome work…
I like the bumper, It looks less like a Corvette now
More like a Corvair, not in a bad way though
I've been trying to get in your ear about a mill for a while now...nice to see you get another piece of the puzzle for the shop and your builds. You're gettin pretty high tech over there dude, I know these improvements and additions to your shop are going to pay off. Party on, Brent and Co.
Yup, add those pieces to the ends, creates a better flow. Looking awesome
Brent everything you do makes a lot of sense to me , a couple of small filler panels on each side and you will be golden
Looking forward to seeing it finished.
You gotta love Bruno, when he is telling you that it is time to go in.
Pablo
@@JustinPaul1st Yeah, sorry Pablo.
follow and trust your gut Brent, make that bumper better , Your Intuition is always the best Decision ... 👍🏼
Cool idea on the bumper
All coming along great! Think it needs the bumper extensions.
The bumper is taking shape. Really cleverly done. Well done Brent.
Just another opinion... If you look at the bed rail top and then the angle to the bottom, you will see the finder top to the end of the bumper is the same angle. I think it fits and should stay the way you have it. The truck looks really good for sure!!
Amazing, simply amazing
I like the look of the extra crome piece you want to add on, it will look more finished and a flowing look.
I love the bumper it's perfect for the end look. Add the side pieces for sure on each side it needs it :-) God bless
Definatley straight off the bat on first sight the bumper just works🦾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes add the pieces ❤
I personally like the way the bumper looks now, but of course I trust your judgement!
The build is looking great Brent.
Either of the two choices would work. Think you’ve got it spot on first time. Amazing how these bumpers have transformed the back end. Very interesting..
Your creativity still amazes me Brent.
Pointed ends back on each side,then cut out center and weld in the piece with the plate lite upside down to shine on your plate. This will also leave a place under there to exit exhaust pipes (cut as wide as you need)😎👍
15:30 GO FIND a better broader radius corner for the transition then so it the bullet nose can blend to it. So close.
I like the bumper ends coming around the fender. Then incorporate a side exhaust into the bumper sides
To me, end of the bumper should match up with the line of the bed. The round tube that defines the bed top.
FUTURE PROJECT: Build an entire vehicle with the CNC plasma table. All body and frame parts. You can do it Brent.
I like the finished ends. Excellent tunage.
Great job with the entire "aft" end of the truck!! Thanks for the videos!!
Brent if your gonna do the 4pipes
on the side do a 3in box tip. Would sounds rumbly.
Definitely think that is a good look for the rear of the truck. Good job . Good video.
Awesome looking the truck is getting better and better
I've seen you pressed the holes of the brackets in the same way ! Hahaha ! It's a part of my job too, so I see things many others don't see ! Anyway, it's under the truck, and you are the only one to know.😉

Finish the ends of the bumpers, right now it looks like a universal fit-all bumper. BTW it's coming along super nice!
Wow I wasn't expecting a bumper surprise surprise surprise.
Gotta love the CowDog zoomies when it's time to leave the shop. Oh yeah, truck looks great too!
Volkswagens have a plastic strip with a bead that goes between the fender and the body. Could be something to think about to help with fender fitting.
I think the bumper as it is kinda preserves the lines going into the running boards and also complements the bedsides lines as well.
Cool stuff. I'm digging the wider version of the bumber . Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
add on to what you have makes a nice smooth look to the rear end
The bumper looks awesome as it is.
Looks perfectly fine Brent 👍
Definitely add the rear bumper extension! It looks really great just you holding it there. Worth the extra effort. Having said that, it’s your project and your doing a fantastic job without our input! Looking really good, 😊

Amen

Extend the bumper sides it makes for a cleaner line keep up the good work I enjoy watching the videos love the work you do😊
Go for it.
Add on.

Hello from NB Canada, good looking set up!
I've been catching up on your older stuff and I'm enjoying it love the model A build a lot
Yeah that looks really good and I bet you if you gave Pablo a couple of treats he won't tell anybody about it being crooked. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🐕
Yes .Run the exhaust out the back for sure young man !
Very cool like I said before you can build anything
The tail angel with lights and the bumper look like a 1967 corvair rear. I like it !!
Tail panel
If you don’t mind spending the time I’m all for widening and adding the ends onto the bumper. To me it just ties the whole backend together.
Love it Every one different than the last. Be well. Hi Ester.
My first glance at the headline pic, looks like the back end of a corvair. Not a bad look, go with it you have great instincts.
Bumper looks great, your vision is right on don’t over think it.
If you add on that other bumper piece it look to wide at the wheel well.
Like, share and tell your friends
lookin good -finishes the back end perfect.
The GMC roadster is cool . you need to carry runing board to the bumper ,move the bumper out and tapper it, fill in like your runingboard. You could also put reciever in the center of the bumper with a opetional brake light.
I think I started watching about three years ago. I watch many of the other’s, but I think you are the best. I like how your thought process works. I started a channel called mywaymfg. Been doing a 40 ford. You inspired me lol 😂. Any way thank you for the videos. I always learn more watching them!
Looks good like that. I’d add the center section back in.
rear bumper is cool...
Brent, ask Ester. If she tells you that changing the bumper that way will result in your stuff being on the porch; well...
For my part, I get a hue of a 1971 Chevelle or later Corvette when I look at it and that leads to the next thought, the middle of the bumper would be a good place for the fuel tank filler neck with the fold down license plate covering it. Also, I like it chrome.
Go for it it looks good
It definitely looks appropriate and at my point of view wrapping around and tapering to bring closer to outside of fender but not past would finish the look. But when i saw the drinkers side from the rear where there will be fill pannel it looked like it could have exhaust poking out just above bumper until i thought of all the extra bends in the pipe to poke it out slightly up and outwards. Regardless fabuloso. It is already award-winning build.
Yes, I saw what you were seeing and I think you should go for it!
I got out of youtube jail.. Once again Great Timing , with your videos, Kudos.. Take Care .
squeeze your bumper in to where the ends are part of your flow lines of your bed another nice video love this
I'm not making fun because I dig it. The back looks like an Opel GT which is a good thing in my eyes.
"Brent". those ends look good if you fill the top Gap on the end curves. it makes it a solid piece. It's just a thought.👍
Going to be a awesome ride when done. Great work
Love the bumper, for me it's your way is my way ! So can't wait to see it done. Great watching you do your art, thanks Brent
The longer extension is less worse, but tossing the whole thing knowing now what you didn't then--and then looking for a better solution might be a viable option . . . 🙂
It's gone from a Corvette look to a corvair look. I like it .👍
Great custom look !
