The good news is that you are showing me all the work I still need to do before body work. The bad news is that you are showing me all the work I still need to do before body work. The chassis work is killer as well. Either way, I cant say enough about how much I appreciate your channel. Cheers Mike, Big Steve and Carrapila..... WHATS FOR LUNCH?

I was having withdrawals 😂😂😂 Good show 👏 👍

Mike doesnt take it to the next level, he is the next level.

Mike's attention to detail is unsurpassed. Most shops would just make a giant cover sheet for the firewall not fill in each individual holes. Amazing craftsmanship

Absolutely the best work I have ever seen. It must be lonely at the top.

Bad news😢 If you don’t know what you’re doing, no body knows because you’re a genius! Love your channel!!

Mike makes it all look so easy, that’s the sign of a great craftsman…

Lokochon gonna be making brackets for days on that ol dog! Mike just a suggestion may want to heat an old socket to cut your body mount bolt holes like you do carpet for seat belts in a car. Your way works good too.

I wait all week for Sunday mornin Mike ... Lot of guys learn the hard way and do metal work off the frame ... always wondered what all the noise was ... another cool video ...

"What makes sense to you makes sense."Very good job.

Hey Mike, who was one of your favorite builders growing up. Thanks Mike.

The part nobody sees here ~ even finding and acquiring a solid decent '36 Coupe to turn into the next Bello's Lokochon Kustom...great cam work Big Steve !

Another very informative video well done👍my Sunday ends well👌

So nice to you guys back!! Great job!!!

Cavron mike .. its about time carnal... " STOP FUCKING AROUND"😂😂😂😂

Mike did it again "homie style" 😎🤘

Had to work this morning but I'm watching you now bro

Hell yea. Looking good

So.... wats for Lunch👍🏼🚙😎clean shop clean work‼️‼️

Another Chingon episode!!! Bad ass builds

Greetings to Mike, Carapilla & Big Steve from Big John all the way from Pembroke Dock thank you for another great video 🛠️

Your concept on how you do things in a step by step.is well done one of best out there love my Sunday s washing your show haveing a cup of coffee ☕

Love the attention to detail, like filling in holes in the firewall. Gotta be clean clean pinky ring. Salut all the Lokochonies out here! ❤

I like Mikes channel cause there's no unnecessary blabbering 😊

My favorite catch phrase, I don’t know what I’m doing but it’ll be perfect when I’m done!

Mike, your a master at this craft, I wait e very week for your videos

Finally mikes back! I missed Sundays watching bellos. Always great stuff

is it good or bad...but I'm getting addicted to these videos, I believe I'm turning into a old ranfla Lokochon. great work, guys.

The last 36 I worked on had nothing left below the lower hinge. Jealous of the nice cars you start with. Always a joy to see one of Mike's videos pop up. I have been at this for 50 years this year and am still learning form folks like you. The torch is the rusty bolt equalizer

Not a shadow in the shop. Thanks for making my week.

Mike, you are truly a craftsman! I enjoy watching your videos, thanks for sharing your passion with us.

I see the Phillips 66 Sign on the back wall. Grew up in Brissy C1960's.Lived in Leafy Bardon, I remember quite clealy just down thwe road at the Junction we had a Phillips 66 Garage

Love Y’all’s work at Bello’s Kustoms… The sheet metal on the 35 Chevy roof an rear window was a masters class in metal work… Artistry at its finest

I do bodywork the same way. I just paint the chassis when the body comes back off for paint. Look forward to each episode ✌️

Hey LocoChon........ Make sure you give Carapilla some of that special Pachuco sauce for his taco's at Lunchtime! That way he gets a second wind and gets down it before 5 pm....... 👊👍

Man I have watched this 36 chassis build at least three times and look forward to the body work and it is here now! Yes! Kudos from a northern LocoChon!!

I never realized the component removal and re-assembly for sandblasting. Nice illustration with the camera work and as always It's the awesome detailed workmanship that makes the cars to be head turners.

Impressive skills and gets it done...

Anything you can do to minimize the work once the bodies painted is good. And if it means bolting it back to the frame to do it so be it. That all comes from experience and I think you have a ton of that as a shown in your videos. As always, very informative and great video work. Not said enough, but it is much appreciated. Living vicariously through your videos thanks again.

As always Mike your work is nuthin but perfection. For you people who have not subscribed yet what you waiting for. These big Steve productions are way better than what you see on regular television . Keep up the great work and as always I look forward to seeing the next video #Westside#Tadow💪🏽

For a guy that claims to not know what he's doing, his logic is pretty sound! Love the fun you have building these dream rides.

Great video work of a true craftsman at work!

Mike has talked me into buying so many tools, and I don't even work on my own cars. LOL!

Every morn I wake up I close my eyes and pray real hard there is a new video,I get so f'n excited when there is! I could watch this all day ,and that's saying alot. What needs to happen to get 2 videos every week? I'm sure every viewer would be happy to pay $1 to $3a month to pay for big Scott to make that happen. West side till I die.

Clean Clean Pinky Ring Homie 👌🤙🏼

FIRST THING! you look much younger con las greñas cortadas. Sending props on the attention to detail, but most importantly I'm glued to the channel, because I have learned quite a bit just from watching. And I'm a seasoned veteran. Watching with a much loved pragmatic approach. Love and share the channel often. Kudos loco!

The shop is nice and bright with the new lighting. Putting the body on the frame makes sense. You do it your way don't worry about those haters out there, you do you homie .

Excelente como siempre...sos el uno indiscutible

Subscribed from the far east side at Cape Cod. Looks like an old Caddy or Olds motor

Hey…nothing wrong with doing it how you want to do it. That’s what makes it right in your eyes in what you do! The cars always come out as masterpieces! 😎✌🏻

I was looking forward to a new video, I was not disappointed, I love the work that is done by Mike 👏

Mike is so meticulous in the mechanicals, love it! The only thing I would have done differently is have a dedicated sacrificial socket sharpened like a punch. Heat the socket with a small torch and use it like a punch for all those frame holes. It will also keep the the bedding from fraying all in one step. Great for rugs too.

Almost look like you know what you’re doing 😂😂. Seriously beautiful work as always, you make it look easy, crack up every time at the “instructor voice “ lol

Nothing but LOKOCHON Style!

Mike you going to the Santa Maria 2024 national this year

Great process and talent. No shortcuts to make it safe and right. Another great Sunday at Bellos Institute. Thank you All. My favorite utube.

Hay Mike can never get enough of watching you, such a craftsman.😊 a little tip when doing brake or fuel lines, pull them through a piece of wood with hole drilled through, makes the lines nice and straight for bending.😊😊

It is always a pleasure watching a master craftsman at work. Mike, you do fine work, ese! Big Steve sure does some good camera work as well. I like sparks thrown at me, tambien 😂 The background noise just adds to the authenticity of the shops dynamic 💯

I just watched Mike Tidwell the firewall from the inside with the heat going down and it was just like artistry and I thought to myself. I wonder if he’s got a book or pamphlet or something of the all the cars or least some of the cars that he’s done finished, I would, really be interested in buying a copy or seeing something of the work that he’s done he’s a goddamn artist entertainer makes everything look so easy thank you. I’m thoroughly impressed with him the more I see.

Bodywork sequence makes perfect sense. Mike you must have asbestos fingers .watching you melt the webbing cuts I was flinching every time you touched the hot webbing.

Mike always doing bad ass working!! I learn something everytime I watch the show. Big Steve great work!!

It seems like I can't get enough of these videos. I know it takes a lot of effort on both ends of the camera to make them. Anyhow, I look forward to seeing a new one every week and have learned a few tricks here and there. When I was still wrenching the only cordless thing I had was a cordless drill, and now everything is cordless and seems to have as much power as air. Anyhow, thanks to all for making these great videos.

I also don't know what I'm doing but I won't put a single port master cylinder on a disc brake system, especially with a Caddy motor. Make sure the owner has good insurance!

Nothing but perfection! Two Badass BELLOS KUSTOMS shirts delivered to Ohio in record time from Cali! No way!

Hey Mike, use a soldering iron to make the holes in the frame tape,, works a treat

Bonsoir, très bonne méthode de tout remonter et ajuster pour un bon travail. Bonne continuation. 👍

Love this show, Im glad I found it. Lots of Skill here!!!

Real world quality craftsmanship fascinating to watch the process of these cool hot rods being built

I really like the build videos. Thanks for posting!!

if You have been doing it for many years and it works, why change now. I have watched Your videos and You do know what You are doing, so keep doing the great jobs You have done in the past and the jobs You are doing now and in the years to come.

Great job Mike.

THAT WAS NICE MIKE! PERO COMO DISE LA RAZA! ( QUE CHULADA ) WHEN YOUR DOING THE LITTLE THINGS, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT JUMP OUT AT YOU! THE WAY YOU PLUM THOSE AIR BAGS LINES NICE HALE MIKE! THEN DROPPING THAT MODERN MOTOR & TRANS! NO CHINGES! THAT BOMBITA WITH A NICE PAINT JOB, CRUISING THE BLVD. OR JUST SLAMMED TO THE GROUND! ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON! KEEP DROPPING THE VIDEOS. ADIOS....

I bought a tapered steel alignment tool from for aligning holes. Super handy. Klien tools. Worth every penny. Love the video locochon.

It would be cool to hear yall talk about yalls dream cars.

Not a better feeling when things fall into place like a glove. This comes with years of experience and attention to detail. 👏

Hello from the Westside " coast" Of New Zealand...love your videos as usual mate

Looks great Mike and I’m from the East Coast Very KOOL

Another great video full of tricks of the trade!!

Fkn love this channel!Bellow’s chops look like they rolled off the assembly line. By far the best! In my opinion he is the best. Very uniquely different from the other car custom channels on YT.

Firme work Mike, see you in Santa Maria soon😎👊🏽

Chingon Cacheton !

Frame came out nice. Never gets old seeing these cars back on the road again.

The house is only as good as it's foundation as I was told by an autobody man.

Hey Mike , your videos of the 36 are helping me on my 35 . I take pictures of pertinent areas that I have to rebuild on mine from your videos. That’s tight work that you do. Keep them coming.

Agree with your reasoning on attaching body to frame prior to finalizing bodywork. With only webbing in between, all that metal has a "memory" that has to be respected. Later models that have rubber biscuits between body and frame present yet another set of variables because they change shape over time in a non-uniform way.

Looking forward to your door opening work. I have a '35 3 win with saggy doors, pins are tight, top hinge bolts are tight, but the bottom anchor to the floor flexes, just old long tired doors. When I go to shows my attention is always doors, gaps and belt alignment. I'm never critical, just appreciate work that's tough and never seen. Thanks for the real work you show and describe.

Always nice to se a profs working .😊😊😊

What engine is going in this rod is it modern or old time

1936 ford three window and 1932 ford roadsters are my favourite body styles. What you got up your sleeve for this one carrapila. Chop and front end treatment. Or just a chop. Or a stock body? I’m sure you and Mike can sort it. Big Steve don’t worry about the noise from next door, it’s not your fault. Take care all and looking forwards to next week.

Ustedes lo hacen bien, son buenos profesionales 😀👍

I just brought home my second 36 ford. Your videos are better than an instruction manual! Thanks for sharing your passion with all of us and keep the inspiration coming!

Mike you are the only channel that shows every step And you have a plan! Which is why your sh!t is the BEST👍🏁

I hit the like button before I watch so I don't forget.

No short cuts at your shop, I’ve seen guys get repop parts and paint them only to find that the body lines aren’t any good. In the long run, it just pays to be thorough with everything once and not finding any surprises in the end. Great job Mike.

Another banger video 👉 keep them coming...and of course clean work brother man...hell yeah!! Saludos homies!

Don't worry about the noise! We know it's a work environment... All good! Love these videos!

We’ll done Bellos, great work from all of you!!

63 miles south pf Boston love the show quality and professionalism owne boss do it all ...cars are beautiful bweeno

Mr magic Mike is a top notch master craftsman no doubt love his work and his sense of humor is funny as hell.

I😂love it Mike “You always got the yernin for some leanin…..keep up the great work……😊
