1951 Chevy Chop Top Part 3 - Metal Forming Sail Panels 

Metal forming with Mike looks so freekin' easy but we all know it's an artform and takes a real master craftsman to make, fit and weld panels like this. Love the videos Steve!

The chop top whisperer… just another work of art…

I'd just like to thank 'Steve' for capturing and organizing the moments and for Mike keeping it real and funny while giving a clinic on metalwork. THAT's why you reached 50K. Congrats! I know it wasn't easy.

Never gets tiring ... one of my favorite sites on Sunday morning ...

Amazed at how you can turn a flat piece of metal into a curved piece that is the exact shape of the body panel.

Love seen it go from stock to bad ass

Watching your videos really sheds light on how much of what you do is art. Love what you do.

I never used to be a fan of this style of build until I started watching the work you do Mike. I wish I had the time to do what you do.

Love your "I'm just a guy doing what I do and you may do it different but this is how I do it" attitude. Great to watch and learn, keep it up!😎👍

I do like it like that 👍🧨love watching you keep it up. I'm a 75 yr old Vietnam veteran thanks for the entertainment ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓

Really improved the stance. With the quality of your work you should already be at 100,000.👍

What we are witnessing thru the lense work and editing of Steve is the Mastery of Mike Bello. Art at its finest. Thank you and congrats on 50k glad I am one of them.

The art of custom is a love of the trade. When both turn out you get a masterpiece.

Big Steve!!!... what's for lunch? lol

Congrats Mike! Glad y’all got some Barbecue!

I was in a terrible mood this morning. I even gotten a fist fight with a guy that lives here at the same property as me, but when I turned your show on it was nice and calm happy working on cars and it definitely helped me with my time out to feel better. I appreciate you Brother.

Mike is a good thing to give us a reminder to comment because some time's we get caught up watching you do your magic we just get caught up watching and forgetting to thumbs up and commenting. Of course we like your work and how it's looking. Thanks Steve for your camera work and everyone at BELLOS kustom works.

Again, some of the best camera work showing Michael's great talent at work . Sunday mornings with Bellos customs and coffee is the best !

Hey…because you are so good at what you do a lot of people don’t realize how much work goes into kustom cars. Never cease to amaze Mike!! 🤩 Big Steve, the videos are on point. Love the shots and editing! Keep it going man! 💪🏻

I love this channel! Unrivaled custom fab content, great banter, and just getting it done. Other channels spend 90+% of the time talking about what they’re going to do and the rest actually doing it. Excellent!

I wait every week for your video to drop to watch a master at work and to hear the white guy voice explaining it, lol.

Few people have the opportunity to have a Ranfla chopped the right way by an artist like Mike. Talented Dudes like Mike and old school bombs are becoming more rare these days. Whoever is the owner, enjoy and appreciate your Ranfla, it's looking badasss.

I've been watching you for a long time. I cus like a sailor, but, I gotta say, since you knocked off a bunch of the F bombs, and started showcasing your talent....whole new world. The quality of your work, your skills, and your imagination are second to NONE. Some of the one piece, compound panels you create are amazing. Keep showing them what quality really is. Great post.....PS.....really good videographer too. Keep it up.....just an old Gringo's opinion.

Mr Mike, you are the real deal, true artist/craftsman in the car culture!! Great camera work, camera man ! Great editing too !

Thank you start a great day

I can watch you build cars for hours and never get tired of it.

Master Mechanic mike putting in the work.

I am an electrician, I love watching your videos because it's like watching real magic with a touch of Voodoo thrown in. Thank you for making these videos!

Mike & Sam thanks for taking time out of your day to say hello to my son's Marco and Angel! They really enjoyed checking out your shop. Much appreciated Lokochons from Colorado!

Come on Mike!!! Bring us some more content, you slacker, you get us hooked on your metalworking, need more!!!! You got the best channel on RU-vid!!!!! Good job buddy, hope you hit 100 thousand viewers soon!!!

Nothing but perfection! Thanks Mike and Steve!

50k is just the beginning Mike. The sky is the limit for you. Congrats 🎉

No plans, no computer renderings. Just pure talent, vision and ability. And experience. If this project came with instructions you couldn’t do it.

Your camera work / edits really tell a story well. Enjoyed that, as well as watching Mike work his magic as always.

Some of the best fabrication I have ever seen

I don't like it Mikie , I LOVE IT !!!

New Subscriber, can't get enough of this channel a true artisan.

You the man Mike, thanks for sharing!!

Magic! Brother and I can't wait for the next video. We tell all our friends with old cars here in North Carolina about what you do and they all are watching now. When we hook up you always get talked about. Keep up the great work. Thanks for all.

God bless. You're awesome.

Mike’s skill and workmanship is amazing

Always a great watch love your work . Cheers to all the team there and big Steve .👍

Awesome! You are the man! Beautiful work!

I don’t understand why you don’t have 5x more subscribers, Bello’s has some of the best content on RU-vid…

Bello's Kustoms is the best on RU-vid! I watch every day. Even episodes I've seen a dozen times, I still watch. There's always something to pick up, and the videos are pure entertainment. Thanks Mike!

If this was 3 hours long I'd still hang on every minute. There are many "tribes" in this car passion, THIS one right here is mine. What a team you guys make.

Wow Mike I just love watching u work no fuss no drama just outstanding understanding of the art of metal shaping, also loving Steve's new time-lapse with music , brilliant just brilliant u guys ....thankyou !

Fantastic freaking work!!!

Ever since I started watching RU-vid 18 years or so ago and content like this, you have got to be one of the most talented metal fabricator/workers I have come across. well done Mike.

Hey Mike! I love sitting on the couch watching someone else work...lol. just kidding..I'm definitely subscribed

Beautiful work Mike. I may have said it before but I truly admire your fab skills. You work the metal like butter. Big Steve, another winner here. Nice combination of shot angles, audio and background tunes. Production perfection. I'd watch these every day of the week.

Mike, love your work and funniness!!! Always look foward to see what your projects are!! Keep being you!!😊👍🏼

Mike is a metal artist. He always looks like he has fun creating. He's a pleasure to watch

Hey Guys, let's share the shit out of this channel. Mike deserves 500k Subscribers. This is the real thing!!!

Man I would call in late just to watch a new bellos Kustoms,updates. Wish it was longer, I'll make it my bellos Kustoms, holiday. Got some of my boys addicted to watching mike😂 need more calapila, he remains us the Oldman every shop like to pick on,😂🤙

Great work! I had a 51 business coupe like that in the mid 60's but it never looked as great as this with the hard top and chop!

Mike the master. It is always a pleasure to watch a craftsman do his thing.

You have the "eye" for compound curves. Not everyone can think ahead in 3D as you do without years of practice.

I just found this blog this week. Excellent work, great to watch a Master Craftsman displaying his trade. With the knowledge and skills to redesign and rebuild. With accuracy and perfection. Thanks for sharing.

Always look forward to your weekly videos. Keep up the great work 👍

I think Steve the camera man is also a very talented man. He gets some fantastic shots and angles, like putting my own face right next to the work you are doing. You two make a good couple. Both are artist at your craft. Love it!

Excellent chop technique. Makes it look like I could do it in my own garage

Damn that thing looks good Mike never disappointed here when I'm watching the master at work.

51.1K subscriptions - there's definitely a reason for them - informative, entertaining, the high level of talent displayed as well as personality..... In my opinion, there's only a handful of fabricators with your skills and quality of work. Thanks for your RU-vid channel 👊😎

I love watching Mike, master of kustoms, make magic happen!

You are the greatest! To know how the use the equipment you have is a true artist.

Gangsta lean wit da pinky. Ring

Always fun to watch the whole process. Sometimes it even looks like you know what you're doing.

That's the labor of love right there! Nothing but perfection.!!! Big Mike with the beauty shot ! Yay yay

Your workmanship is unparalleled

Yeeaah my mike is back again. Loving everything you do man. Keep up posting those awesome films. 🎉💪🤙

Monday morning in new zealand. Coffee. Smoke. Bellos. Lets go champ.

Vato Loco throwing a comment in. Really appreciate you taking the time to show us how you do stuff.

This one of the finest looking chops I seen on any 49-52 Chevrolet.

Mike wishes he knew what he was doing, Jefe you're the maestro de Metalliaros and the love and joy you bring to the craft is very inspiring. I guess I'm a vato loco! Thanks, big Steve for the great video work. ❤😊👍💪😎

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Mike is an artist with metal and I have to give Big Steve a shout out for the editing and production quality. Two artists at work.

Great job Mike, nice chop job! I’m done my chemo, now I start a 5 week radiation treatment schedule! Wish, I could get over to the west coast, see some of your cars in person, maybe some day after my tumour is removed! Locochon homme!

A religious metal experience every Sunday with Big Mike, keep it going and growing, been watching since about 6,000 nice to see you hit the 50 G milestone ....

I like what I see. The thumbs up is always before the video even starts. I already know it’s going to be fire.

Give this man a own TV Show. Title: "What you wanna do know,..."

Thank God for Chop-Tops 🤘

The Chevy was cool when you drove it in the shop, but after the chop and removing the post. It totally changes the look, to badass. Oh, and a ton of work. Attention to detail. Great Work👍

Very clean and subtle chop. I chopped my '49 Chevy coupe and rolled the sail panels entirely on the English Wheel. The planishing hammer sure looks easier than the wheel. And that portable hammer is the bomb! Mike, you have an outstanding reputation and I thank you for letting us see you work. You are a true craftsman, and pretty damn good for not knowing what the hell you're doing! - Road Devil DVZ from Ol' Skool Rodz & CKD. (RIP)

Always happy to make an effort to give a 👍 thumbs-up 👍. Its saying "thank you!" for the video.

Blinding the skills and the humor makes for an amazing watching experience. I appreciate the attention to detail and the comic relief at the same time. A true artist at work.

Don't know who the young man working with you is, but he is being taught by the best.

Years of experience, you make it look easy! You're the metal master crafter for sure, enjoy the content! Thanks for sharing!

my husband loves your show! You are awesome and real!

Beautiful! Thanks to you and Steve and the young fellow for all your hard, exacting work!

I give you 2 thumbs up, you are an incredible craftsman, I know I will never get to California to see you. I feel very fortunate to get to watch your videos on u tube! Thank you! Please keep them coming!

Big MIke showing how's its done and makes it look easy. Thank you for getting on RU-vid, the world could have missed your talents.

You're not just a body man, you're a bloody artist. Love your work....

great profile! I usually don't care for coupes, but you nailed it

Mr. Mike , as your old friend WC Fields would say ,mighty fine work my boy !!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s a real pleasure to watch a true craftsman.

Man what can you say, Mike is so knowledgeable about this old school rides. Man makes you laugh while metal working and always ggggg money fits like a glove… what’s for lunch!!

For someone that doesn’t seem to know what they’re doing I think you muddle through nicely. Especially like it when you cut and butt. Turns me on lol Love the humor and the attitude. Just remember what you think is mundane and boring for the most part is interesting to us. Keep on keeping on.

Man, I wish I had your eyes! You can look at it and know what adjustments are needed. What a craftsman! Love your work. Been watching for a couple years. You need to push your merch more. We need Bello’s custom shirts everywhere.

It looks like it just came out of the factory you did a damn good job that’s the best I’ve seen so far, so that makes you one of the best Fabricator ! thank you for sharing God bless you.

Hi Mike you are a metal magician keep show us your magic .
