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!

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

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.

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

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!😎👍

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

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.

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

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! 💪🏻

Congrats Mike! Glad y’all got some Barbecue!

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.

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.

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 !

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'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.

Nothing but perfection! Thanks Mike and Steve!

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

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

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 !

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

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

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

You the man Mike, thanks for sharing!!

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!

Thank you start a great day

Master Mechanic mike putting in the work.

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.

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

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!

Some of the best fabrication I have ever seen

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!!!

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!

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.

Awesome! You are the man! Beautiful work!

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.

God bless. You're awesome.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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 👊😎

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

Fantastic freaking work!!!

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

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

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

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

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!

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. ❤😊👍💪😎

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

There are custom body men on RU-vid and then there is Mike Bello. You rank right up there with the guys in Europe who do the Ferraris and Aston Martins. Having a full fab shop helps too obviously but your humor and wisecracks make your videos a pleasure to watch.

Always enjoy spending my Sunday mornings watching you do your metal magic Mike! Love the side view shot where you see the roof all done, man that looks bad ass! Nice work Mike!

Congrats on your 50k subs, Mike, Steve and Catapilla!!! Best kustom work by far and filming. BBQ well deserved 😁🏆👍

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

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

How can anyone not like this , big thumbs up from Australia man

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,😂🤙

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

Gangsta lean wit da pinky. Ring

I like shop teacher voice. And what’s for lunch. Show more of the shop, and behind the scenes. Million thanks St.Paul,Minnesota.

Love watching your videos. You make it look so easy, although I know it is time consuming and labor intensive. All the customs you create look amazing. Can't wait to see more of your upcoming projects..

I love your work brother.

U weld the inner structure , because u take pride in what u do. I love watching u at work. For someone who dont know what u r doing,.u r top notch. More videos, please.😅❤🎉

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!

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

Great chop job. I can't wait to use the information I learned to chop my 50 Chevy and convert it into a hardtop. I hope my chop comes out half as good as yours.

Mad respect’s to this locochon awesome work I remember his old shop next to the strawberry fields on Main Street could only work on two cars , Thank you Steve for bringing us the amazing footage keep up the good work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

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

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

Du är inspirerande. 👍

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

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

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

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!

Great start to my Sunday each week. Thanks

Love seen it go from stock to bad ass

Nice accomplishment on the subscribers. An would love to find one of those vehicles up here in Michigan that ain't all rotted out..

I heard your name over the years and seen the work. It's cool your doing a channel now and we get to see the style of work you do. I always said there are many ways to do a job right. It's the difference ways that make us unique. Fantastic work and it's the little details I look for and see. I say you be a fun guy to work along side. Always some to learn.

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👍

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

Fantastic job on top chop. Love watching a real craftsman. Watch all your videos over and over.

Perfecto Mike! You have real vision for these jobs. You learned the lessons you were taught well. Old world craftsmanship. Hope you guys had a great 50k dinner.

Thanks for the new video Mike !!! True craftsman and that ride looks badass

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 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.

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

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.

Yes!!!! Bello’s and breakfast tacos makes Sunday the best. Lokoshon, dale shine!

You have a very good eye for the shape of the panels that have to be made! Years of practice and a super talent! Great VIDS!!!

I always believed that you should learn something new every day, and you my friend are a great source of new. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next episode. Please don't make it so long next time.

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

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

Big Steve getting all locochon with the editing and Music… I like it! Keep it up!!

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.

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

My favorite Utube channel. Love your work,great metal fabrication, good cameraman and like the humor. Keep it up guys there's no reason you shouldn't hit 100grand easy.

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