Great work on the wing window - I think the look will be much better than one piece glass! Another great video and time well spent on RUclips! Thanks Brent!
Great work! Glad you didn’t go with one piece glass.... wing windows keep it classy ;-) About to go in to shut down here in Nz for four weeks.... got a full bottle on my mig and enough supplies to finish wiring my coupe. Stay safe over there.
I have done wing windows a few times after aq chop and the best part is never doing again as they are a sob to fit inside of where these were once. the metal seems to be from another country as it won't go without measure and fight. I was working on the older model cornqueens... still a little to go and sure that its a job instead of fun. Its fun to start but after a few months.... I loved the challenge that first seems so cheap to do, then after a year and the receipts pile up, it is surprising what it comes to.. another good one
Man you can make anything work with anything. Just some cool fab work and not very many ppl has those skills most especially your skills. Your in a league by yourself. That thing is turning out just plain cool 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 you get 10 out of 10 mints

I don't think it will take long and u could carve halfass pintos or halfass racing anything u like
@@HalfassKustoms a swivel t handle would be cool but yeah I know you probably have a lot of projects so if u don't have time for it just let me know either way I'm cool with it thanks man

Wang windurs turned out great Brent! It's gonna be a cool custom!! I got news last week that I'm gonna get a much needed back surgery (military injuries) that might allow me to take on a project again!! Until then, I live out my dreams of wrenching again watching you. Thanks for all you do to share the shop scene I miss so much!!
Hey Brent, today's Halfass feature was "the lunch time special". Once again you faced the problems head on.Seems to me the door handle dalema is now an open and shut case. Those vent windows are a marvelous invention especially the hand crank ones. I know we've all heard the... "form follows function, " line from designers but I strongly feel they were invented to be the Koolest spot to put a Car Club or Speed Shop decal. Am I not right ...I am right.. aren"t I ? The hot rods even looks super kool from the inside peakin' out thru the door window opening. Fine craftsmanship Brent.
Cool video! You never fail to amaze me! Have you ever thought of working in a chip foose setting! A famous hot rod shop of sorts! Obviously you have your own shop and don't have to, but with skills like yours you deffinately could ! The only difference with you do and the Yahoo's in chips shop besides the fact that you obviously have skills, is that once finished, they send things to the paint booth and the chrome plater !
Ya - New fuzzies and all that stuff takes time - I like power windows and have found that Jeeps at the junk yard have the easiest ones to adapt so far - maybe you have found easier ones
@@HalfassKustoms Ya - for sure - Caravans are a great place to get an osculating electric wiper motor off the rear hatch - only problem they are hard to remove
As the leaf people say , That's Minty , You got mad skills Halfass , Just the stock vent windows kick my ass on 56 chevys but i love the crank open style , keep the vids coming
Good trick using filler rod with your left hand and mig in your right! I've done it with stick welds to fill holes and gaps, bet your vuers would like a tutorial. Butchweld
May I suggest that next time you encounter aroblem like your door handle, that you speak with a retired panel beater or mechanic for the Pontiac. Either might know how to deal with those problems, would probably appreciate you taking the time to talk with & learn from them too. Cheers, Keith
Vent windows are sweet because they let the fresh air in and suck the cabin air out at the same time when the car is moving forward.... how cool is that!?
Kids... pay attention. at 1:29 is an old kung fu mig welding trick coat hanger to fill big gaps. { i prefer the cheap ones that work uniforms get delivered on} Next lesson.... Getting a chunk of copper on a stick to use as a backer .to flow the weld over holes in sheetmetal
Are you planning to put a (some) searchlight(s) on the coupe's "A" pillar(s) ? You know the type, the one(s) that have a sideview mirror built onto the back of them so that they serve a dual purpose?
I have a 78 long bed square body I wonder if it will fit on my 2010 silverado it’s a extended cab short box guess I’d have to measure the wheel base I guess the 78 is all new tin
For sure man, no he is going to run the stock 63 steering column and run aftermarket gauges and a generic speedway harness for the basic wiring. As for the motor it'll just use the stock engine wiring but will be throwing in the same cam that I have in my Pontiac.
@@gmjunky87 yeah you can use coat hanger also I just have filler rod for Tig so I use it. It helps vs some times trying to cut a sliver of metal for a filler.
With all this virus shit going down .It's nice to know I can watch your posts .we are on lockdown in the UK. So stay safe bro .and lots of love from over the pond. Ps no F##ing LOOMS lol only kidding
Go watch a video on weld.com about how to use a grinder. Trust me go to the end and go see the amount of damage a flying disk can cause at 7500rpm fyi that's faster than any junk yard engine. I like ur videos I would hate to see u get hurt.

This Pontiac has almost perfect lines, it's art man, it's friggin perfect.
Thanks a lot man!

Thanks man!
That wing really made a difference. As usual you are a master metal worker. That 65 is gonna be a nice truck. Love seeing your 🐕
Thanks man, yeah the 63 is gonna be pretty cool
I forgot this was a badass Pontiac with cruise control. Smart thinker.
Great work! Glad you didn’t go with one piece glass.... wing windows keep it classy ;-)

Same to you, slowly stuff is shutting down here a ways to go yet till I'm forced I think.
Halfass Kustoms day 5 here now.... finished wiring from the fire wall back on my 47 coupe.... social isolation has its up sides ;-)
I like your overhead shots when you film we can all really see what your doing thanks
Thanks man working on my overhead rig yet so it should get better yet :)
You are a rare breed! Love this stuff!!!
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Wish I had half of your talent

Great video 👍 and work nice to see something besides bad times that you
No problem, may as well keep upbeat things will get better.
Way to go - I like the cut down vent window look - Myself I resort to one piece door glass - just being lazy
haha I almost think it's just as much work once you make the window track and what not :)

haha it's cool, I'll post up what ever happens when theirs updates worth posting on it. 👍
Awesome
Wow she's a beauty
Thanks man!
Nice Reed vise ! I got the same one.i live in Erie PA.where they are made!cool vid peace!

haha there just aren't any of them dudes out here to ask. unfortunately I'm that guy at this point around my parts haha
Never make fun of a hammer! It's a great tool!! Lol.
yup, when it gets too exhausting , it's time to take out the sparkling wand to bring the handle to light...
Haha you know it!
Vent windows are sweet because they let the fresh air in and suck the cabin air out at the same time when the car is moving forward.... how cool is that!?
I know right!
"She needs a bit of loving." Hahahahaha. Spoken like a man who probably calls a hammer a 'persuader'.
Maybe...... haha
nice
I'm surprised that you did the fitting without bolting the handle in place. At times it looked like it didn't line up with the mounting holes.
yeah there is lots of give for the wing window.
@@HalfassKustoms OK thanks

Couldn't tell you man. you'll have to measure it out to find out I'm guessing.
Can you keep us posted on the Chevy / Tahoe swap?
Is he keeping the Tahoe steering wheel and Gauges?
Great job on the door levers.
For sure man, no he is going to run the stock 63 steering column and run aftermarket gauges and a generic speedway harness for the basic wiring. As for the motor it'll just use the stock engine wiring but will be throwing in the same cam that I have in my Pontiac.
Great video. Inspired me to do mine myself. I started my drivers side but am having a hard time relocating the pivot point. Any pointers?
it's a hard one. sometimes I just make a button with some round rod for the pivot because the angle changes to much.
What did you use as filler to weld the door handle back in? Love the channel BTW 👍
I just had a large gap to fill so I used the welding rod to help with the excess gap and weld across.
@@HalfassKustoms cool!! That's pretty neat. I just started with a hobart 140 so I'm looking for any little tricks I can!
@@gmjunky87 yeah you can use coat hanger also I just have filler rod for Tig so I use it. It helps vs some times trying to cut a sliver of metal for a filler.
@@HalfassKustoms cool!.thanks for the tip! So far I've just booger welded some exhaust together 🤣
@@gmjunky87 Gotta start somewhere :)
With all this virus shit going down .It's nice to know I can watch your posts .we are on lockdown in the UK. So stay safe bro .and lots of love from over the pond. Ps no F##ing LOOMS lol only kidding
You have a great site need to more viewers,, I am trying
Haha thanks man!
That's the wonders of Steel imagine if it was plastic I imagine it would have just been garbage
haha yeah would be a different story
Dumb ass question coming up. When you were welding on the door; you were using rod with the mig. Could you explain?
It's a fill in rod. Use welding rod
Yeah, what John said it helps fill large gaps when welding or to do a quick build up like in my door gaps.
@@HalfassKustoms you taught me that .I had to tell him.haha
I think it looks better with out the vent windows would it be hard to delete them and run one piece window just idea hahaha
haha you need them windows in the summer to stay cool on the road though :)
CHOP MYSTER
Thanks dude!
Nice job but I would have just went the route of one piece glass
I like the wing windows they help cool my lap in the summer cruising down the road :)
@@HalfassKustoms true they move alot of air
Go watch a video on weld.com about how to use a grinder. Trust me go to the end and go see the amount of damage a flying disk can cause at 7500rpm fyi that's faster than any junk yard engine. I like ur videos I would hate to see u get hurt.
Why didn't you just made the side windows one piece of glass instead of putting the vent windows back in . They're vent windows by the way not wings !
I like the look of them and the function of cooling my lap while I drive in the summer.
5 lol
