Go Lisa! fun to see her get some welding in there. truck looks delicious! nice going!
Man, I love these purpose built vehicles! Some day on my channel I'd love to be able to collaborate with you on the perfect step-van contractor setup. 14' box with a 12v Cummins, and maybe convert it to a 4wd. That would be so sweet with a classic "The Helpful Contractor" wrapped on the side. Life goals.
Congrats Austin Coulson, on getting the Cab finish with ur Wife and Kids help.. looks cool..
That looks amazing. I never thought the proportions would look right, but that looks factory. Like a 50's Econoline....
LOL, yep that floor is pink, no doubt about it. The cab looks great 👍
That bubble gum paint being poured reminded me of that bubble gum flavored antibiotic when I was a kid.
It's a damn good thing you didn't end up at power nation, doing your own thing is so much better. They make car shows for toddlers, yeuch
I would paint the back white and the top to below window 😍
Must have great having your twin there to help with sanding.
Some LED headlights would modernize that front end a bit for a cool restomod look.
Awesome build. You are an amazing fabricator.
Great presentation and skills. Love it.
What a tremendous amount of work crammed into one episode, well done. Enjoyed the whole family pitching in!
Man, you are really flippin' talented. Do companies come to you asking for custom work or do you know where to look in this niche market for custom commercial trucks?
I really appreciate your channel. Time and patience you put in your projects.👍🙂
Major progress.
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video.
Sincerely Hollandduck
cool idea with the paper plates, and you are an excellent metalsmith.
Amazing work, love it💪💪💪
Looks great!
Cool color. For a moment I thought you were going to paint the doors gloss white, I would have said that was a great combination, were it the case. Excellent video, thank you for sharing.
I recommended two tone pink and white, but they wanted all pink.
She just went from a super cool wife to 'coolest wife ever'!
Guess I better keep practicing! Don't want to lose my status 😉
Indeed. Typical wife "Honey want do a Friend's binge?". This guy's "Honey can you teach me how to weld tonight?"
Damn, dude. That thing looks GOOD! Personally would've done a different color in the interior, but customer gets what they want! Thanks for taking the time to film all this, I know it certainly adds a lot more work and slows the process down.
I love the paint booth. Nice work once again👍
Both you and your twin do good work. :-)
Beautiful work, sure glad I am watching and enjoying. Growing up a great helper I also noticed that you always give encouragement for helping
This channel is great magic. I really enjoy watching the ideas turn to reality.
Making the dash shorter was ground breaking thinking for me.
Funky color!
I love your wall/curtain for the paint booth. Did I miss where you talked about it?
Incredible job buddy!!! I've seen you've clone yourself for this projects. Having 2 Austin sading at the same time, pretty neet! You shoud tell me I you've done it, I need 2 Vinys to do it all! How's the wife been handling with 2 Austin ?😅
First rate... top knotch... and just incredible! Love your content and the way you present it. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the paint booth video and/or anything you've done to the home portion of the shop.
That is a beautiful truck. Only change I would've made is maybe using a cream for the grille for contrast. Can't wait for the next video of the whole series!
Really Nice!! Like that you have your family helping!! Showing the kids how to do this kind of work goes a long way in there future!! Now to wait for the back build!! Thanks for sharing!!
Check out British ice cream vans. It looks great. But looks a bit imposing.. Guess you not driving it around the streets . Guess it will have three serving hatches made for festivals. But you can get a idea of Artwork to Airbrush on from British van..looking good.
You gave me a great big smile when you had your daughter out there with you - I do the same stuff with my little girl XD. She was taking wheels off at 4.
I like it a lot... buuut the front bumper... I don't know... and the original one? doesn't it fit better?
Yup, she's a fine looking truck
Well, I know I do not want to paint my 58 pink !
That bob you did to the frontend is not bad, but to me it seems to have a British look.
Most people would not notice it but having had my 58 for over 30 years I kinda know the lines and dimensions.
It was really cool that you had the whole family helping.
Looking forward to seeing the continuation of this project.
It does look British. Like an Anglia F350
Could you share your sprayer set up? What do you use? I know you mentioned you switched out guns, but which do you prefer? I’m about to start the body/paint on my project, and I’m completely ignorant on painting a vehicle haha
Did not expect that bubble gum color but it definitely works! Should grab some attention! Nice work!
perfect for a ice-cream truck, right!!
Maybe switsh the back bumper whit the front bumper. Front bumper those pipes look like a back bumper.
You will have to stay on top of cleaning the fan blades though.
The problem with leaving the orange peel is the outgassing and where it is, is it's in an area where condensation will build first all through the night and into the morning, it's also in a spot that will trap heat and bake the orange peel causing it to crack the gloss coat prematurely.
The good thing about it you used an epoxy primer which will stave off the rust much longer than standard primer so yeah, you're right, leave it alone.
👍
And Muriatic acid and a hard bristle push broom should take care of the pink floor😂
I want something similar done with a '55 Chevy LCF. Reach out to me if you are looking for your next project.
Can you say PEPTO ! You sure this is an ice cream truck. Not a portable Pepto Bismal fountain truck?!
Great music as usual!
OMG... What are you gonna do with that floor now? Maybe you solved it already... not quite thru the video... but wow, I hope you found a solution.
The pink vs the black contrast looks amazing ...... I hope the secondary colour on the truck is going to be black.
Imagine if your son is super into this car mod restoration stuff what his skill level will be at your age...
subscribed! just found your channel and binge watched this series from start to this point now! you do great work!
I seem To not get house updates 😢😴🤔 got any links, or are you on a brake on that??? Regards sören
Is it the camera, or are you actually a foot taller than your wife? 😁, Another great video amigo.
Really enjoying the fact that you're getting your family in to help and taking the time to teach them things they're interested in learning how to do.
Big fan of the truck. The paint overall came out dope and the truck is sweet. But that pink is hella ugly. Lol.
What i love about your channel as opposed to the other whiz wheel and weld channels is that you do it right....Channel should be a lot bigger
I like the Chevy steering wheel in the Ford cab. Ar you going to put any sound deadening in the cab?
I'm not digging the 1970's off roader style front bumper but the rest is sweet.

Mrs Richards: " I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) " That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
You shortened the front so much you should’ve made the emblem say FRD 35.
Where'd you get that giant curtain? I'd love to have one of those for spraying in my garage.
Awesome! That is a beautiful job. Score of 1 to 10: a 20. Love it.
Dear Austin, you like big and heavy works, wish you all the best😊
Wouldn't be great to have a wife handle all the welding hahaha. I hope so. Could be a great team.
Gonna need details on the new paint booth setup. How is it keeping the paint out of the rest of the shop? Is it closed in up top?
Cross breeding Ford to Chevy good idea it run better Chevy power be hind it kw wva.
Not a fan of the front bumper. It looks out of place with the curves of the front end.
Good video guys! Looks kinda like a Barbie truck though!
Awesome video 👍👍👍
What size shop are you working out of? Seems to be adequate space
Looking good the colors look good I've got 2 1959 f100s love them too.
Hello Austin! Nice to see you teaching your sweethearts some welding and tool skills. Cool project! I bought a 1954 GMC cab from Saskatchewan,I'm making something simalrr to what your building here .I have an 2006 4x4 , 4.8 chasis and Im installing a new (they went out of bussiness) fiberglass Hymer clam shell camper body onto the back of it. Kinda like what they call a snail but an earth roamer style feel .When I didn't want over spay on my frame I mix a half cup of corn starch with a bottle of dish soap and use an old spray gun to coat the surfaces I want to stay clean.Then I use the peresurewasher to clean all the product off after it's all done.Good job with the dash !
Everything this man touches turns to gold or pink.
this look good you are so talented at this i can't wait until part 5
You are so talented but when you said you were going to build a double tube bumper for that truck I almost threw up in my mouth. Sorry buddy but that truck is going to be way too cool to have that ugly front bumper hanging on it.
Agreed. The front bumper seriously takes away from the overall aesthetic. Needs something more original and fitting with the nostalgic look - tighter in with a small wrap around to the sides.
Why did you screw it up and put that Ford on a Chevy?
Very good job & a great looking Truck 👍
Wonderful craftsmenship!
Recently found your channel. Awesome build. You look young, how did you gain all of your knowledge?
Very nice quality work my friend 👏
Nice bubble gum cotton candy truck😮
Fantastic job… love all the help from your “twin” and the family…
I ended up starting my pizza truck with a trailer, I will go for a truck on the second iteration of the food truck. I want to go with and old flat nose 80's international
Love that idea. Ive been wanting to build a flat nose COE for a long time
@@AustinCoulson maybe I'll hit you up when I get the business established more to see what works and what doesn't. I figured one of those trucks with a container back end and an old steam punk/western look would be a killer brand for a wood/oven fired pizza truck
why not put a speaker in there with a nice grill
sweet job mate, lot of hard work
That colour is awesome mate!
BRO paper plates for bondo!
You have amazing skills Austin, love your videos
That color really pops.
You do good job 💪💪💪💪💪
At first I thought the pink was a bad choice but seeing painted and sitting inside, I like it
SWEEEEET !
Looks great!! Love the color!!
Comment at the the back section show off… it’s a ford, orange peel is standard practice…
😂
Nice outcome! I just found your channel yesterday but I've enjoyed the build. Not a colour I would have chosen but it suits the intended use. That front bumper... well... you may have mailed that one in considering work on the nose (fenders and hood), and dash.
