Like I've said in the past, best damn channel on RUclips!! Better video this time, no music or slow-mo. Keep the videos raw and let Mike speak, the vato is always sharing great knowledge. Show cars are built to win trophies, cruisers are built for rolling, collecting rock chips, showing up to local car shows with the homies.
I'm 70 years old and I would love to have an Opportunity to learn from this automotive artist, I wish I was 40 years younger, I would sweep the shop for free just to watch the magic 😊
A lot of guys I see using plasma tables tend to make stuff that is flat and robotic looking. You took the time to sculpt and shape the parts, giving them life and flow. You are a real kustomizer. God Bless Bello’s Kustoms.
When Mike said we’ll make the lenses I thought what ??? How is he going to do that?? . Well he showed us just how u do that , no biggie. WOW he’s amazing.
A show car is made to win trophies that you put on the mantel and gather dust. A cruiser is made to drive and for people to see and enjoy all the time.
Here in the UK I would say a show car is one that is chromed, plated and polished within an inch of its life. They often go to shows on trailers and may even be set so low or have such small wheel to arch clearance that they can't really be driven. Their sole purpose is to be admired at shows and win the owner as many pots as possible. A cruiser is a car that is driven. Back in the late 1970,s I built a 32 rod that I drove around until the early 1990,s, when I sold it because of the growing family. I took it everywhere and people were fascinated by it and it was a real talking point. The problem with show cars is they are generally only seen by people who go to car shows whereas cruisers are seen by the general public.
Naw maybe in the UK but all my rides here in the US sport tons of chrome and polished out with custom paint. I even painted my pops police car black and white with gold Pearl. Polished mirror finish and all the police writing was in gold leaf
I have a friend who is like an uncle to me he has been building cars since the 60s and he always says if he has a chance to meet you, he wants to thank you for teaching him so many new things
Another Sunday wonderful time at Mike's shop moving metal. Show cars sit on the lawn all shiny and shit, gets a wow from the crowd. A Cruiser is the art of movement for people. We go some place in da cruiser and its happening insta. God bless you Mike and all the lokachonies hangin here! ✝️❤🛻🙏😎🤠
Your attention to details is remarkable. You, together with "Make it kustom" are the 2 best class "A" fabricators." Halfass kustom" is also good but not your equal.
The difference between a show car and a cruiser is the level of perfection. It has nothing to do with how they run. Great video. Nice work. I like the lack of music and slow motion.
A cruiser is art in motion. Show is stationary art. Both have purpose and lifestyle 's that surround them. It's all good. Respect to all. Nice work bud.
Heck yeah the tail light's came out really nice 👍🏽 I have a sheet of the red plastic. I thought about making a wooden mold for my brother's 64 fiat convetable. Just never got around to making the wooden mold because I know it's going to take some time to match what's broken on his. How Mike did his he did it really slick 👍🏽
you can carve out a negative mold of it and do the bake method also to create the lens . trim it to size. many aircraft homebuilders use that method for the wingtip lenses out of lexan.
Difference between a show car and a cruiser is a trailer to me if you are out cruising and hanging out with good friends and family that's what it's all about
Mike, it's amaaaazing to see how you make something so nice from nothing. The idea, the shaping, the wood you use. Gotta love it. You the man! Greetings from the Netherlands
A cruiser is for the driver to enjoy driving maybe have a little scratches and dings but as a whole it functions well. A show car is babied and not driven as much so you can say it’s only enjoyed by the eyes of others
PINCHE VATO LOCO! THAT WAS BAD ASS CON THE TAIL LIGHT, BEZELS & LENS! BELLO'S TELL THE CREW!! SETTLE DOWN! PLAYING LA MUSICA COMO LIKE THERE AT THE NIGHT CLUB!! BUENO CARNAL! KEEP THROWING OUT THE VIDEOS OF THIS RESTORATION!!!! ADIOS....
A show car is built to look at, maybe drive from the trailer to it’s show parking spot, a cruiser gets driven, has bugs on the grille and windshield, it runs and drives and looks great. Thanks Mike!
Salieron’ Bien chingones. Dude your manufacturing skills are beyond out of the box. Simple, clean and more than anything they adorn elegance, they simply flow right down that fender. A show car is something your trailer to events ("trailer queen") for others to enjoy, my builds are for me to drive and enjoy. Love the channel and your custom shop. Much success! Keepum coming.👍
Showcar is a garage queen,👀 you don't want to get it dirty. Its a Trophy, you just look at it...... Cruiser is out in the streets, still looking fine, but not afraid to take it out and drive it...
Outstanding work Mike Excellent A show car is a Trailer Queen When someone says you got a car Say yes I have a Show car Come out side I’ll show you my car
Man, your talents are amazing; reminds me of my early neighborhood garage days when I was 13 years old! I regret taking another road in life, leaving cars behind; now I’m seeing your channel and working on my old junk again Thanks Vato 👍🏼
I feel a show car is for people that pay a ton to a shop and more than likely are afraid to drive it. They enjoy trophies more than driving. A cruiser is more of a Lokochon that built their own ride and can fix it if it breaks. A homie that cruises can still show their ride too, They get out and smooth out the pavement when they can. Good question for Carapila he will give the best Lokochon answer!
Yeah pretty much a show tends to be a trailer queen and never driven to the events. A cruiser is well driven to be enjoyed all the labor and still show off.. Mike bad ass lights homie chingon keep them videos y rolled tacos banging out....
It all depends on what you are into, a proper show car is literally just that, built for shows . Show cars have their own form and followers and can be works of art, my personal choice is a car is meant to be driven, nothing like seeing a cool cruiser on the road, that doesn't mean it still can't look immaculate it just takes a bit more to to keep them nice looking ( a lot of cleaning 😂 ! ) , but expect wear and rock chips and stuff as well. You can still have an immaculate car that is a driver, just depends how much time you want to spend keeping it like that, or if you don't want to just go the Patina look which is cool too !
YOUR Car you are building for yourself ...build it to that shiny dream you have in your head , so that you can ( Show ) it to your friends when cruisin around.... If Your going to be upset by those ( badges ) you get from parking in the grocery store or you trailer it everywhere .... Sell it to someone thats going to drive it !
Mike! Have you been approached by Baileigh Industries Tools to take part in their “Biography series” which they are showing on RUclips! It features independent car builders just like you!
Young MASTER CUSSSTTOOMMM BUILD A DERRRR YOU'RE TRULY BLESSED. Your Hands Eyes Coordination Propels to Leaps and Bounds Like None Other.

A show car will hardly ever leave the trailor, where as a cruiser is something you Enjoy, take it out Sunday drive even if there's. No one else there to see it.
A cruiser you build for your enjoyment, a show car you build for someone else's enjoyment.
100%
That is a perfect explanation of the difference.

100%. Way better shooting and editing in this one. Keep it up guys! Mike, you never cease to amaze with your approach and knowledge. Inspiring man.
Appreciate the feed back. I hope to meet and hopefully exceed expectations in the future videos.
Big Steve
My favorite RUclips channel to watch weekly, see you in about a week Mike 👊🏾 me and my pops Al are getting ready for Santa Maria to go cruise with you
I love your channel everything custom the bezos and those tail lights you made was extra cool
Yep that's 200% right. I don't watch tv any more. But now i do. This is in the raw flesh.
I'm 70 years old and I would love to have an Opportunity to learn from this automotive artist, I wish I was 40 years younger, I would sweep the shop for free just to watch the magic 😊

ONES A TRAILER QUEEN...ONE GETS DRIVEN..WHY WE BUILD EM..TO DRIVE!!
A show car breaks your heart if scratched. A cruiser doesn't.
1000%! Show cars never see the street. Keeping a cruiser nice and clean is always more work!
I have a friend who is like an uncle to me he has been building cars since the 60s and he always says if he has a chance to meet you, he wants to thank you for teaching him so many new things
Mike, if you happen to read this. I want to thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience here on your channel. 🙂

A Cruiser is the art of movement for people. We go some place in da cruiser and its happening insta.
God bless you Mike and all the lokachonies hangin here! ✝️❤🛻🙏😎🤠
You never drive a show car , they just take up room in the garage . And all you do is worry about them .Love your channel El Locco
Man it's nice when you have all the tools to bring out the creativity when making custom parts!!!!!!😎🤓Where's Chapala!

Man!!! making that lense was incredible!!!...MAD SKILLS...Peace from NB.
A show car you only enjoy from the outside, a cruiser you enjoy inside out!
Heck yeah the tail light's came out really nice 👍🏽
I have a sheet of the red plastic. I thought about making a wooden mold for my brother's 64 fiat convetable. Just never got around to making the wooden mold because I know it's going to take some time to match what's broken on his. How Mike did his he did it really slick 👍🏽

That was THE most amazing display of fab skills I've ever seen! And, I'm a fab! Clean, clean, pinky ring!
Best car guy on RUclips. The engineering and fabrication are top tier and the occasional pop locking is always cool 👊
Dunno about "nugget," but those tail-lights are a couple of gems!
92.5 FM! I remember when they were on 45th and Logan across the street from Jerry's Market, 3 blocks from my house on Keeler St.
Firme tail lights!!! Can't wait to see this ranfla in Santa Maria!
Mike, you're not only a craftsman, you're also an artist.
This is what we call handmade👍
A cruiser shows character, stamina and road rash
Lights are coming out nice I like that custom look☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
Mike is a BEAST!!!
DUDE!!! You ROCK! In TRUE Lokochon fashion, Mike creates!
Accuses built for driving you know looks good when it's going down the road
Definitely upping the game with the video production 👌 as far as the build content goes you never cease to amaze homie 💯%
“You don’t have one of these?” - 😂😂
Mike is the man , buckets of skills WOW
Mike, it's amaaaazing to see how you make something so nice from nothing. The idea, the shaping, the wood you use. Gotta love it. You the man! Greetings from the Netherlands
The satisfaction of doing it yourself can't be measured. Pure mastery sir!
Mike you are a f n genius...
You think out side the box...
Brilliant work, a lot of us over in oz really enjoy your videos 👍👍
He has jut plug moulded those tail light lenses. Great work.
I need to sleep, but this is keeping me up
Those tail lights are beautiful, bling on the machine!!
Cruiser, is one you take out on the weekends, and drive. Show car is just to look at, no fun, all cleaning and polishing. Thanks St, Paul,Minnesota.
Thats awesome...LOCO CHONO STYLE...Thank you for sharing. From South Africa
I have done both over my lifetime, built show cars, and cruisers showers are for shows, cruisers are for cruising!
A cruiser is for the driver to enjoy driving maybe have a little scratches and dings but as a whole it functions well.
A show car is babied and not driven as much so you can say it’s only enjoyed by the eyes of others
Crazy impressive…it’s such an honor to get to watch you work. Thank you for the videos.
Great custom stuff Mr Bellos. Loved the lens shaping technique . We’ll done!!!
Mike you are so chill in your programmer chair
Again the master at work, you are the man. To make the taillights yourself, I am impressed again.
