There is just NOTHING you can't do when it comes to auto building. Your attitude is refreshing, especially after what you have gone thru. Say hi to Pablo and Ester.
" Awe hell we'll just cut this out, this off weld this up, yep see, air ya go". Thank you.for sharing. another day of encouragement to go and wreck somthing. BE well.
Well Viewers the pre-fire Brent is back. Brent is all oiled and smooth working project master. I bet there will be a tubing bending in the shop next video, either home made or bought. Thanks for the shared inspiration Brent, my 2005 Sierra 1500 HD project says thanks to you. Excellent video Sir.
Nice! So nice in fact that although patina is all the rage -- The stainless & chrome look nice enough that little 54 deserves a eye flash bright paint job! It gonna be sweet!
I don't know who started that craze but it just tells me that they were either too lazy to finish the body work and paint job or just cheaped out on finishing the vehicle.
@@richardcline1337 oh I get it. They only original once. And on some survivors/rods it the right thing to do. But it's gone too far. I just was noticing how nice the stainless trim is. I'd for sure paint this one 😉
@richardcline1337 you'd get along with my Pop. Everything has to be gloss and crome. I never cared about paint or crome. Long as it runs strong and rides smooth. Interior has to be sharp though. Probably because I owned an upholstery shop. Used to laugh when folks asked when I was going to finish it. That was back in the 90's and I always replied it's done.
I must admit My Family had one A 54 4dr chevy light blue white roof in to the 70's My older Brother Had one to a 4dr cream or faded yellow white roof, blew the engine on the freeway in Salt Lake City. My Grand father Pulled it to his place and Made my brother help him rebuild it. LOL! taught him about cars.
I just went through that whole centring a engine yesterday 😂. Installing mounts to put a windsor block in a 38… it’s tight. Crank centre line to the frameand getting level in the frame take more time than one would think. 😂
I think you may need to change the name of your program to NOT SO HALFASS it's good seeing you pushing through your hardships most people would sit on their ass and wait for the insurance company to do repairs you have no idea how much I appreciate your program thanks for the videos I'll keep watching
While I don't often like what I see being built I do, however, enjoy just watching how everything fits together and looks a lot more like factory than many builders do.
Nice to see you back at it again and fixing or should I say "working your magic" these cars and trucks. Say you something about mufflers, Amazon has 2" kits for $150.00 and 3" kits for $195.00, there is a lot of pieces in them, enough to a car and have some left over. Can't wait to see your new building, you'll have plenty of room. Your old shop had a lot of space that was not used that much because of the layout. Take care my friend
Watching, listenimg, and learning from you, reminds me of sitting in my favorite college professors class and know I'm learning from the EXPERIENCE OF THE BEST ! !
Hello, dear Brent! Es ist wieder einmal ein Hochgenuss, Dir beim Iron- Brainstorming zuzusehen und zuzuhören.I like it! Die Nachtruhe ist gerettet. Im verry happy with your performance. The car will be a partycar. Best regards from Germany, ray.
Still, I know he ses this is just a hobby, But where did all his skill come about. And its a pleasure to watch his work come good. He seems to just know how to fix and modify anything to fit. good show though
I love the column shifter on this ole chevy I didn't know they actually had air inlet duct work in these cars first time I've ever seen this! Well folks, I'm pretty sure if the hoist wasn't safe Brent wouldn't be using it, it's not like he doesn't know what the heck he's doing! for example, he's not a backyard mechanic, he has owned his own garage for years now, common man. Actually that hoist is most likely a hell of a lot stronger than modern day hoists because back in the day they made things well. With a better quality of metal than the crap that comes out of china nowadays, that's for damn sure.
I'm so happy to see you on a project , how your hand eye and brain work to perform mini miracles as you piece together the transmission mount with the exhaust and turbo . You may not be building a car to race but the 54 will certainly be a car filled with speed as a close second . Thanks for taking us on this magic trip into the building of this automobile .Till next time , God Bless you and yours . Someone who truly loves your ability . Stuart in Ontario ..
That was kinda weird when the man sized door opened by itself when he pushed tthe 54 Chevy in the shop doors. Just seemed like it opened hard. Probably just a draft. Peace. Later.
Car is turning out awesome I like that transmission out that you just built I understand about all the headaches but you'll work it out been there done this
Maybe you should put in a conveyor belt system on the side of the driveway Brent and feed those projects in one at a time and run them out the back of the garage as finished cars!😎
Excellent video Brent :) , Pablo The Supervisor Dog 🐕 , going not bad on Turbo building on 1954 Chevrolet car also don't forget the Cover also on motor and transmission meet want build one those too !
Love the 54... I like it as much as the tri 5's. They have excellent curves & styling in my opinion... And with the chrome it just ties in beautifully.. Excited to see this one come together...
Brett very nice job. Glad to see a new video my friend. It sounds really good. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making God bless.
I just finished up on what you had done to the 54 and there you go getting it pulled back in the garage. Now all you have to do is remember what you did to it from before you get started all over again. But it is looking good. Back on track and moving forward again, ok have a good one,later
Hello Brent, great progress on the project. Looking forward to seeing this build come together. Nice work my friend. As always take care and stay safe. 👍
I'm confident Bret is smart about being safe. He seems to hide it a bit, but he is uber smart. He repairs computers as a day job. One thing I would like to see is him breathing less rust dust, but that goes for pretty much all the automotive youtubers I follow. lol
Engine looks like a go fast machine. 54 Chevy’s weren’t made for burnouts and didn’t most come with 235 straight 6’s ? May need to buy some good tires this time. hehe 🔧👍 Like, share and Kick in the Turbo.
Nice build Brent that old Chevy should fly and leaving the outside derelict would be ok, You should see what we pay for speed equipment in NZ it makes the wallet bleed and I'm only tuning up an old Hillman 4 banger
Hey Brent! Nice work. The 54 is really coming along! Look forward to the first test run. Your right it does need gears. Nice work my friend!! As always stay safe! 😀😀
There is just NOTHING you can't do when it comes to auto building. Your attitude is refreshing, especially after what you have gone thru. Say hi to Pablo and Ester.
You forgot Buddy hey buddy we love you too❤😊
Pablo saying only thing missing on this ride is treats!😄
Pablo looks as if he is getting ALL THE TREATS!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Run vents thru inner fenders
Very cool old Chevy! 54 was a good yr, just happens to be the year i was manufactured! 😅
I’m a ‘54 model too.

What a treat to see a Half-ass kustoms notification on a Monday !
Nice! So nice in fact that although patina is all the rage -- The stainless & chrome look nice enough that little 54 deserves a eye flash bright paint job!

Pablo in his natural element.

so happy to see these long videos again!
Safety? If you haven't rolled out from under a falling vehicle, you haven't wrenched! Those sizzer lifts have been around forever, quite safe.
The 54 is coming along nicely. Mounts look like they work well. Can't wait for more of this one so I will catch ya on the next one...later 😁
Thanks for taking us with you on the build Brent , also loving the music you are using at the moment .
I just went through that whole centring a engine yesterday 😂. Installing mounts to put a windsor block in a 38… it’s tight. Crank centre line to the frameand getting level in the frame take more time than one would think. 😂

That’s awesome seeing you back to your super productive self it’s like nothing ever happened. I commend you what a good vid
We'll make it work...I love that can do attitude and you can bet on Brent making it happen 😎👍
This man can do anything from the last 100 years till now he can do anything
I've used one of those lifts multiple times. Never had a problem with them.
While I don't often like what I see being built I do, however, enjoy just watching how everything fits together and looks a lot more like factory than many builders do.

Yeah I've used those a lot in the past
Great job Brent! Very inspiring.
Brent. Your channel is my happy place. Love everything about it. Thankyou
I always take a cutting torch to a spot that doesn't matter and if it cuts clean it forged or steel.
Very good got some more done so you can see what you've got now to tweak and make work.Well done sir Brent thank you for sharing
Watching, listenimg, and learning from you, reminds me of sitting in my favorite college professors class and know I'm learning from the EXPERIENCE OF THE BEST ! !
I used Butt Weld fittings to do an exhaust manifold. They come in various diameters and angles. 45's & 90's available in short and long radius forms.
Turbo! Nice!
If I had a lift like that one, I would be glad to use it, it would make working on my cars a lot easier.
Takes me forever to do what you breeze through. Wildly fast at getting things done
Who’s party car Brent. Your fabrication is on spot. You’re on top of it again. And just getting used to your new tools. Thank you for sharing. 💯👍👊
Great Job on the mounts, looks good. This 54 Chevy will Scream down the road.. Cool Pablo taken a boot at the end. cool dogs. Pablo/Buddy
“No big deal” he says as he reengineers the whole thing. Wow.
Good to see you working! Very tight space you are working in!
Coming along nicely!
Hello, dear Brent! Es ist wieder einmal ein Hochgenuss, Dir beim Iron- Brainstorming zuzusehen und zuzuhören.I like it! Die Nachtruhe ist gerettet. Im verry happy with your performance. The car will be a partycar. Best regards from Germany, ray.
Just gotta keep picking away, it will get there! Trans mount, good idea to make it serviceable. Sadly mr bad chad is a one and done kinda guy.
Very Good Job My Friend ❤❤❤❤❤
Brent you amaze me the way you can figure out how to make everything fit.👍👍
Minty !
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Later ...
Make sure your oil drain pipe (turbo) is up out of the oil in the sump or it will blow your oil seals just a suggestion 😀
Still, I know he ses this is just a hobby, But where did all his skill come about. And its a pleasure to watch his work come good. He seems to just know how to fix and modify anything to fit. good show though
Nice work I was lost, but you overcame all problems!
That car is definitely gonna be a sleeper and alot of fun
So glad to see the 54 back in the shop
Happy to see you back in your realm and watching you go ad it as nothing ever happened.❤️
Little Turbo still = Lots of Fun!!!
I love the column shifter on this ole chevy I didn't know they actually had air inlet duct work in these cars first time I've ever seen this!

Coming along nicely Brent that seems pretty reasonable price for that kit
That was kinda weird when the man sized door opened by itself when he pushed tthe 54 Chevy in the shop doors. Just seemed like it opened hard. Probably just a draft. Peace. Later.
I'm happy to see you making stuff again👍❤️🙏🙏🙏
Oh yeah Brent , burnout turbo , this build sure will be interesting to watch , thanks for sharing ...👍
Great progress
Looks like a fun turbo project, in a 54
It's amazing what you can find on ebay these days it's crazy
What a cool project!
That's going to be a fun project when you're done with it!
Figured it out great job 👍
it starts to remind me of the old times, it sounds and looks good
Car is turning out awesome I like that transmission out that you just built I understand about all the headaches but you'll work it out been there done this
That fit better than i thought . good work!
It’s going to purr just know it great watch Brent 👍👋🇨🇦
Maybe you should put in a conveyor belt system on the side of the driveway Brent and feed those projects in one at a time and run them out the back of the garage as finished cars!😎
Heeeheeeeneh 😊
Excellent video Brent :) , Pablo The Supervisor Dog 🐕 , going not bad on Turbo building on 1954 Chevrolet car also don't forget the Cover also on motor and transmission meet want build one those too !
Love the 54...
I like it as much as the tri 5's.
They have excellent curves & styling in my opinion...
And with the chrome it just ties in beautifully..
Excited to see this one come together...
Thanks again for sharing your content Brent. Take care.
Make the left bank a hood exit that goes straight up.
Brett very nice job. Glad to see a new video my friend. It sounds really good. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making God bless.

This is going to be a very cool build for the old 54 Brent. Thanks for the heads up on which turbo kit to look for when doing something like this.
Fantastic work. Your fabrication is awesome. Keep up the great work
Nice job on the mounts and exhaust! Nice start! Take care!
Hello Brent, great progress on the project. Looking forward to seeing this build come together. Nice work my friend. As always take care and stay safe. 👍
Gtreat to see the belair coming together, that will be a great ride, thanks for all the info Brent!
Looking great. Can’t wait to see her go down the road 😎
Really impressed on your trans mount look like a work of art
Real nice fab job on the trans looks great Brent nice job brother👍
Cool, small tbo should spool quick!
The table is working pretty good, I think you came out okay on it. It's going to be a fun car.
I'm confident Bret is smart about being safe. He seems to hide it a bit, but he is uber smart. He repairs computers as a day job. One thing I would like to see is him breathing less rust dust, but that goes for pretty much all the automotive youtubers I follow. lol
I would suggest using jackstands while under that lift.I have seen hydraulics fail on these types of lifts.
You sending him some? That would be really cool.
The ‘54 is a cool project
Cool stuff. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Man it sucks you lose your exhaust bender! Is your insurance going to replace any of your tools? Been waiting on this build for a while!!
Can't wait to see it do a burn out 😊
Listening to a Wren singing in the background @ 12:50 there! ben/ michigan
My head would be hurting with all the figuring your doing with the turbo and exhaust manifolds. Pablo likes the wind in his hair.
Pablo says I sure am glad you drive cars w/ open air ride! ben/ michigan
Engine looks like a go fast machine. 54 Chevy’s weren’t made for burnouts and didn’t most come with 235 straight 6’s ?
May need to buy some good tires this time. hehe 🔧👍
Like, share and Kick in the Turbo.
Nice build Brent that old Chevy should fly and leaving the outside derelict would be ok, You should see what we pay for speed equipment in NZ it makes the wallet bleed and I'm only tuning up an old Hillman 4 banger
Put twins on it that'll solve your down pipe issue put on a pair bullet mufflers and drop them out at the base of the fender
Awesome
Keep up the great work, love see the progress on the 54.
Great video. I'm glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Hey Brent! Nice work. The 54 is really coming along! Look forward to the first test run. Your right it does need gears. Nice work my friend!! As always stay safe! 😀😀
Awesome Brent. It’s going to be a super cool motor.
Awesome car. I got a 53 and love it
YOU DIFFERENTIATE CAST STEEL FROM CAST IRON WITH A CHISEL, ON A SHARP EDGE OF MANIFOLD, SEE IF IT PEELS OR CHIPS, CHIPS MEANS CAST IRON!
Nice work on the mounts, cross member and turbo plumbing. You make it look so easy as usual. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.
