Usually don't see this level of skill till the grey hair comes in. Very talented young man, humble and always ready to learn, that's what makes a master craftsman.
Right he reminds me of the old man thay builds his own replica mini cars like this one and they actually look very well done I know this ones mostly like a tricked out go kart engine powered one but it's still fucking legit and more than unique...
Can't wait to see his next build like this he obviously has the body work and metal shaping down but I'd like to see one be built and fully legal to cruise down the road in....
I know interesting cars is what got me started as a kid.... my first love of a car was a 59 4 door bel air that was my dad's first car my grandpa bought him thay was almost knew cuz it eS a rich old lady's Sunday driver.... odometer was at 68 k all original miles when it got parked finally.... one of these days I'll have to cash to atleast get it running and driving again.... my dad parked it cuz the rear end went out and it's sat in blocks since I was like 3 or 4 and I'm 26 now but I always said growing up it was gonna be my car and still to this day it's my absolute favorite of the aeroplane styling they went for in cars at that time with the bird in flight fins on thay ass end and just the front bumper styling and the front an rear lights..... it's just amazing

I love that you show the "learning experiences too" it takes a level of skill to do things right the first time, the level of skill to repair or change is much higher. Thanks again.
Karl your so talented and skills are fantastic!!!!! I just love to watch you design and build something from scratch in to a piece of art. Keep up the great projects and thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️
Another outstanding episode. You are the best. Could watch you work all day. Thanks again !!
That's a lot of sweet bracketry courtesy of the plasma cutter . All looks great in place and also proves ya got it right at the end of the video . Great to see soo many mini bikes and soo many grown up kids having fun . Gotta let ya hair down once in a while . Love the look on your face when it actually went backwards for the very first time . Thanks for sharing the fun Karl
You are an engineer, an artist/sculptor and an amazing fabricator. Great work!
Thanks man! I love it
@@MakeItKustom love seeing your creativity and the quality craftsmanship. What is the tool you are putting into the drill at 20:10? Looking forward to your next video.
Your fabrication skills just blow my mind this thing just gets better and better! Your friend is somewhere up above praising the work that you’ve done and wishing he could be there to enjoy it with you I’m sure ! keep up the great work my friend and great videos! 👍🏼🤩💪🏼
Love the ending... Remember being a Hotrodder means you're never too old to be a kid..

Every time I think I've learned and gotten better with my metal work, I watch your video and realize I've got a long way to go! But, it's very inspirational, so keep it up!
Note to self: I also need a few more tools and to do a few hundred more projects.
Hahah one foot infront of the other. We are all students
Great job. Very similar to what I did with my adult sized pedal car, using a 1959 Studebaker Lark.
Carl I just wanted to say... You are one really nice person. I enjoy your show very much thank you for all you do.
VERY COOL...THE BABY BUICK LOOKED TO BE A LOT OF FUN ....NICE PRESS BRAKE GREAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You have the mind and soul of an engineer. It's a delight to watch you think things through.
Thanks Phillip. This is the stuff that’s fun to figure out
Man even at my age I’m learning a lot. (74)I’m building a chopper removing the Right side drum brake to left side disc. I’m using a lot of Dble split colors as bracket units. I know, a bit strange. I don’t have a milling machine, 😍. I love this Buick Special!!
I absolutely love what you do Karl, you have such a incredible mind, you already have it figured out just by looking at it, I really think you see things in 3D😂
You are such a problem solver and there is nothing you can’t do. The tools you create is what sets you apart from others, just the added details you see in your mind, to me is pure talent. The Hot Rod industry is so lucky to have you, you make learning fun. You are a special kind of person.
The baby Buick is so cool. Mini bikes look like a blast too. Great to be a Kid !, 😊
Carl you are one of the luckiest people on the planet... You get to go to work everyday and do what you love. Not many people can say that.
I absolutely love this project, just keeps getting better. I think I’m a little old for mini bike football (I don’t heal up as fast as I used to) but it looks like a great way to pass some time with friends.

Got my new keychain today. Love it! It goes perfectly with the keys to my my 240Z! Thanks for the stickers too! 🤘🏼👍🏼
Love the Trail 70s. My wife and I take our two Trail 70s out on the logging roads during the spring time. Never thought about playing soccer. Looks like FUN!
It’s definitely fun but somebody’s gonna get hurt one day lol
Everything you make it looks Factory made, amazing how your mind works, God gave you a beautiful gift ,definitely it’s from your maker that blessed you with amazing gift from God.
Carl my most favorite build. So happy to see a new video on the build my friend. It's really coming together nicely done. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thanks Jared! Cheers man !

@@philmickey7247 if you hit the three dots to the right it pulls up a drop down so you can report scams like that.
@@tomcoryell Thanks, I have repeatedly done so.
A thumbs down on the scammer's post, possibly by many other viewers, may have an effect on their removal.😁👍
What a great party. The rest of the video was pretty good too. This Baby Buick is a fine piece of work. Keep em coming....
lots of great imagineering going on there Karl. The design turned out great.
You have an extreme level of creativity. I love it!
Outstandingly and delightfully over-engineered
Funny how I just caught myself closing my eyes on the first two tack welds. Lmao guess it's just habit.
Hahaha don’t get weld flash!
Made me laugh when you had your hood on but just closed your eyes to tack. 🤣
I totally get it, just funny to see
I hold my left hand out in front of my screen to block the flash.😂 Old habits die real hard...
Love all your videos!
Please never stop doing them!
Your fab skills are incredibly impressive!!!
I sure hope I get to meet you one day. You seem like a cool dude!!
So glad I found your channel .
👍 love the baby Buick and the fun on the minis I have 4 Honda z50s from 1968 to 1979 and 3 ct70s 1970-71 Great work and video as always, Thanks ✌
you should try a thumb trigger for your tig ... I can't live without it anymore. makes welding in awkward positions so much better. good work, keep it up
Awesome job guys 👏,I appreciate your video's and Tip's and Tricks.
Thanks for the update. I dig the mini bike 🏍 😎 👍
love the safety gear on the mini bikes!!!!LOL
Love this baby Buick. Keeps getting better and better. Amazing work - you’ve definitely got an eye for proportions and style. One thing did catch my eye which was slightly disturbing…. A blue Home Depot garbage can? Wtf - how is that even possible?! 😂
This is such a great idea for a step by step project build!
SCAM SCAM SCAM ☝️
That rear shift set up is really clean looking. The only problem is that you cannot dismantle it for painting and service.
Baby Buick steals the show :)
Fantastic design and fabrication! Another great video! Keep moving forward!
Karl, you have all the skills! Anyone that says things like..."why didn't you get it right the first time" has never actually designed and built anything. Those are the people that are "managers" they "manage" to get paid for not creating anything...
Buddy! You nailed it on this video, I love watching the design process. Glad to see the video colors got sorted too
Nice work,topped off by a lot of fun
was great working with you guys in Las Vegas.
Great experience!
Ya Matt! Awesome meeting you 👊
I love how much style is packed into that little car.
Aircraft tooling design is quite similar to the bracket you made for the rear reverse cable mount... It's fun!
Although i’m loving this mini car, i can’t wait to see you back on the Caddy Karl!
That is the coolest baby car I have seen.... not that I seen everyone but it is cool as hell
SCAM SCAM SCAM ☝️
Damn Karl. The Baby Buick is a badass lil cruiser bro. I have to say... she's the coolest built, not bought mini car I ever seen! It's all fabrication as usual is awesome! Love your channel man. I'm so looking forward to seeing her completed. Just throwing it out there brother. When you're done with the Baby Buick. I think, you should build like a mini Roadster or something of that nature using all your creative fabricated metal skills. Just a thought! Keep On Keeping Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Congrats MIK on making the 56 Mini Baby Buick Car look sharp.. lv the video and build..
Cameo appearance for "Fearless Front" at 1:48. This project is looking sweet.
Looks like fun the bikes would be a blast !!!!!
yay missed a few, glad to find this :)
Some people may think Karl is way overdoing this little car. But if he is going to be taking this to swap meets and car shows, this is pure advertising. It showcases a lot of the many talents that he has.
Maybe I'm a little bias because I'm Canadian as well, I have never met a person that is so talented at such a young age. Keep doing what you're doing Karl. You have lots of fans of your work out here now. All the best brother.
Another PERFECT fabrication episode with a multi-minibike exclamation mark at the end! Thanks for the videos!!!
Looks like a great design.
Hmmm steel on steel with no grease nipple and no way to get the reverse lever apart.
I think it’s only going to be short term solution. You got a lathe! You should have added some kind of bushes and cir-clips or some way to disassemble.
great work as usual Sean
Keep kicking out the great videos Karl
Another great episode. The minibike party was great. 71 Honda sl70, 79 Yamaha mx80, 69 bonanza cr410 mini chopper and as of last night, 70 Deltek rockhopper. I saw one of those in your crowd of bikes
Thanks for everything
Kneeing the pedal FTW!!!
Great Metal Work i love this Chanel 🙂
3 minutes into the video and I already know how I'd want to try to setup that reverse lever. I'd take an old floor shifter and set it up where pushing it forward would be for forward and pull it back for reverse. And I'd have an 8 ball shift knob or one of those custom skulls like you made and gave away in a different video.
Love your CAD work, cardboard assisted drawings. That cardboard template was great. Just bend the rear cable braket a little bit more on the back area so the cable exits straight. Over time it will cut through the ferral you don't want it to bind and fray the cable.
That is looking so cool. Besides your brakes and gas pedal, you have work on the dash remote start switch. You will enjoy this ride more than you realize. It's a great looking machine.
SCAM SCAM SCAM
So educational and entertaining. Thanks
Your welcome man thanks for watching!!!
You figured out that lever nicely, it gives some Jetsons vibes on that Baby-Buick!
Another excellent video. Looks like you folks aren't afraid to have a little fun too.
as the ole saying goes Boy's will be boy's right! We never really grow up! we just want bigger toy's but even if we have to go back to the littler toy's it's always still fun! and always puts a smile on our faces, no matter what any one says, its still fun! That mini bike soccer looks like fun.
Looks like a great minibike game, I like the chopper, the Buick is coming along great, all the best to yous and your loved ones
i cant wait to see this thing painted up you know it has to be some custom paint
SCAM SCAM SCAM
37:28 the video is great so far. The lighting is so much better!
Man it was a struggle figuring out the lighting lol thanks for noticing
Nice work! I like how all of the brackets etc are functional, but also have style that carries through the whole build. The mini bike soccer game was hilarious. Before the ball got thrown in I thought maybe you were lining up for an extreme game of red rover.
Pretty awesome watching your process of designing the arm for the reverse cable!!! WOW, man, this was really awesome, Karl! I'm a little late watching the video, but I've been working a lot and pretty much work, eat, sleep and taking care of my dog and maybe trying to read a little news, not much! This was a great episode to watch! The leaver for the reverse really does remind me of an airplane leaver for take off lol; it's compact for the small area you have to work with!!!
It came out well for the little space we had. I dig it! Thanks man!
love this project it just keeps getting better, the mini bike football reminds me of playing dirt bike tag on the beach it very quickly degenerated in to a full contact sport.
You have a practical degree in engineering.Amazing engineering
I love this project, can’t wait to see it finished! (Because then we get the Zephyr and the Chevy, yay!) 😆
Very, very cool!!🤘
Uffda, Brenda was looking especially lovely today in that black outfit! 😍 Let her know I seen her wink at me there! 🤣
SCAM SCAM SCAM ☝️
That lever and steering column support came out badass. You’ve definitely got an eye for fabricating some cool looking components👍😄
SCAM SCAM SCAM ☝️
34:59 😂😂LMFAO! I love some good shop horse play!
Great fabrication Karl.,well done.
What an awesome job !!Love the mini bike soccer, I so would have do n e that 20yrs ago. Shit breaks to easy now and takes to long to heal. Great video!!!
OMG, this video is SICK! Some great fabrication and the mini-bike soccer IS the reason why women out live their men! It looked like so much fun, now I want a mini car & mini bike! Keep rocking Karl!
Hahah totally right ! We try and have as much fun no matter the danger
Awesome work as usual man. For the breaks I would have just got a break lever and master for a go kart. Then again I guess it's another way to show your skills and design using what you have.
When I seen those 2 Honda CT 70s I was thinking about all the fun I had on one I built a few years back there are so many groups on the internet and you can buy all kinds of aftermarket parts I had a 108 stroker motor on mine with falcon mag wheels a hydraulic front end with disc brakes aluminum swing arm it had alot of power compared to the stock ones it would wheelie in 3 out of 4 gears and ran 60 mph with me on it and I'm about 220lbs. Lol you and your buddy's look like yall were having a blast. Great video your friend from Louisiana Rick 427
Karl the Car is looking Excellent Nice job on mounting the steering column I figured you want to put a thicker piece on the top and shredded it so you would have no nuts And the mini bike races looked like everyone had fun
Awesome little car! SO COOL! Man that looks like fun on the mini bike's!

Ed Roth would be proud 👍🏻
Hey Carl if your cable system doesn't work you can always try a rod system that way it'll tuck inside further towards the rear differential
I'm still amazed by that Evolution blade also on your chop saw!
Yea me to! It’s kinda crazy to use a abrasive saw when these blades exist
@@MakeItKustom for sure!
It might have been mentioned already... idk. But, I think the master cylinder needs to be higher than the brake caliper in order to bleed the system properly. But... I'm not a brake engineer by any means. Amazing and beautiful work as always. Thank you for sharing.
As always your craftsmanship is second to none. How about saving you knees and back and time.
By putting some saw horses under it,or on top of a table. Just a suggestion
I like the knee control. :)
That is great! Man I wish I was your neighbor!
Nice fabrication. You da man!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍕🍺🍕🍺time.
Car just keep getting better love it .have a great day
SCAM SCAM SCAM ☝️
I LOVED EVERY BIT OF THIS VIDEO, SO AWESOME 👍😎
I get it. Fabrication concepts apply to whatever project. I get it that this (little car) has sentimental meaning to you. I get it that a lot of folks like it (by looking at the comments). BUT, I for one can't wait until it's over and you put more time into the Zephyr (or other "real" cars)
That's the coolest thing I've seen since we landed on the moon (allegedly). Thank you for your time.
SCAM SCAM SCAM ☝️
Card board template first. I admire your energy to dive in to fabricate. Slow down in the turns to go faster.😄
Amazing!
So rad,love every episode!.
How good are mini bikes!!
