COE Ramp Truck Car Hauler EP-3 Mounting The Cab Halfass Kustoms Collab 

Great to see Brent on your channel.

Very detailed explanations.

2 of the best RU-vid channels in a Collaboration? This is going to be awesome! Not to mention consuming even more of my free time to watch. Sacrifices need to be made to watch this much talent come together in an epic build!

Epic Collab!

Karl you are so lucky to team up with Brent on this build, he is a magician when building custom applications for trucks cars ,hot rods ,you name it. I watched you fabricate the hinge and frame for this truck and you are surely top quality. I will watch this build to see your ideas become reality. Thanks to both of you for having us along, Stu in Ontario..............

Good job guys!

Two of the best fabricators on RU-vid, you are a huge inspiration to me. Unfortunately, nobody in my country does this, so I have to struggle on my own. But thank God I have you on RU-vid. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Those shots of the plasma table in HDR are awesome!

The Rocha is looking good 😊

Nice going guys

From my old (hino) cabover days, opening doors made a big difference for lifiting cab.

Ester and Brent are Manitoba’s finest!

I been a fan of HAK for some time . Brent is a true craftsman, he makes it look easy . Great job so far, looking forward to more . Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .

I’ll tell you what. There is nothing like a bunch of friends to help you when you need it. Plus a different set of eyes on a project. Mad skills as always. Cheers guys

Fun to watch your fabrication on this. Looking forward to more of the build.

a linear actuator would be cool to lift the truck cab. use ignition key to give it power ONLY!!!

Love both channels! A very interesting collaboration as both of you have very different build styles. I'm loving this! Cheers... Mike

Hi Karl when you are done with this fire truck...it's going to be awesome. Enjoying this build. Thanks for sharing your story.

Had me messed up at 1st..I thought it was right hand drive..then I noticed everything was backward..will be a cool hauler..!!

It needs either air, hydraulic, or electric actuators to lift the cab. I used air to lift my combination engine cover, tool box, spare tire storage. Mine is an Econoline pickup cab project where I built my own chassis with the engine behind the cab. With the big 19" 10 bolt wheel for a spare it is to heavy for a person to safely lift.

Awesome to see Esther and Brent in Karl’s shop collaborating this is going to be exciting . I’m taking a guess here. I’d like to commend Esther on her camera work and I’m guessing again her drone filming skills and if I’m right, quite the humble achiever. Love your cab over concept Karl and if I’ve spelt your name wrong my apologies.

Fabrication on such a high level. Fricken Awesome!

Nice to see I'm not the only one that forgets about the ground clamp some times. :)

That’s awesome to see Brent and Ester in your shop, the hauler is going to be bitchin with you two fellers building it. 👍

Favorite quote now is "shop warming present". Love it. Nice work.

Hey, uploaded in HDR, awesome!

Wow a bunch of work!

Super cool build. Good to see Brent involved also. It can't get any better . :) Keep it up.

KLICKED on the thumbnail followed by the LIKE button ~ let's GO .. ..!

What a team, alot on the fly 💡 ideas, an both of u guys are some talented builders, what a great start, that's what a great group does,getting it done.tks for sharing, time for couple COLD ONES guys

Great video! I did not hardly recognize Brent without his bibs! Lol Awesome!

That was some seriously cool fabrication guys. Can't wait for the rest of the project.

Between the two of you, you have so much enthusiasm and skill, I believe the sky is the limit on what you could accomplish! I enjoy watching what you do and how you come about doing it! Keep it coming Brent and Karl!

Fantastic work!!

Those frame horns are impressive! The fact that you drew them up and went straight to .25 Steel is awesome! I always cut everything out of cardboard first and make sure my drawing was good before I go to steel. My wife has an x-tool laser so I have that option. That cardboard first idea has saved me a lot of money in screw ups in my drawings. Another great video! Thanks again! Really digging this build!!!!! 🔥

Absolute pleasure watching two highly creative FabMasters building a very cool project! Look forward to all episodes on Halfass and Kustom.

This reminded me of Corb Lund Hard on Equipment. "Anything is a hammer" lol

Love your channel and your personality, just cheerfull and open minded, great.

It’s coming along nicely guys. Can’t wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Fantastic collaboration with both of you well done guys gonna a sweet truck when completed ♥️👌👌👍👍👍

Nice one lads!! That front bracket was nice engineering.

It’s sick that only 2 guys can have that much talent!

It's so cool you two are doing something together

True true craftsmanship

Hello Carl, watching you and Brent team up on this build is awesome. Look forward to seeing this series. Take care and be safe. 👍

Good job ya'll two

You are the real deal, brother. Love your patience.

Pretty good with the old gas axe Karl. Looking good👍

If you are worried about filling the front fenders, use an adapter (if necessary) to mount up a semi super single on the front on each side. A super single is basically the same width as a pair of dually rear tires mounted on a single rim, sort of like the same width as a drag racing slick. You could do that front and rear if you wanted it to match on both ends, and it should have no trouble carrying fairly heavy loads on back.

Hello all from Siesta Key Florida

Yesss this collab is as awesome as I thought it would be. Thoroughly enjoying the mashup of two great car fab channels. Thanks boys

Awesome build series Karl can’t wait for the next video to drop !

G'day mate awesome mr Fischer awesome 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

Brent is a fantastic fabricator his builds are amazing, good to see the collaboration

Nice to see you two guys working together! This is going to be a great project! Like the tunes too!

Lov'n this series!!

Great to see my favorite fabricators working together. Day 1 was great. Thanks for sharing your story guy's.

It's coming along nicely guys 👍👍

AWESOME… When you were doing the welds I was thinking.. that’s how I would have maybe done it ..but it seemed so sketchy… then again if it was me welding it would have been sketchy. You’ve really smashed out the fabrication and welding regards the bumper/steering box mounts another episode where I have learned more than a ‘thing’ and an inspiration to all fabricators(I’m not really a fabricator, I melt stuff and cry) Great collaboration with Brent off now to ‘sub’ to his Channel.. Thanks Karl…

Ah! The venerable "Cardboard Cad" joined by computer assisted 😎 "Twice as nice at half the price" of multiple prototypes. The torch on that FastCut looks a lot like the old Komatsu High-Definition Plasma - but it may be a laser? Good that you got the latch - and that the Cavalry arrived! And on to the 'Dinosaur CNC-less Cutting Non-table'. Nice work with the oxy-acety! Day 1 - Don que Cabo - the Cab that Tilted, and latched. Good work for 1 day. On to Day 2 - ♪♪ LS Engine, LS Engine - I hear heaven when I rev you LS Engine! Trust the ECU to control all your functions, LS Engine, LS Engine ... ♪♪ Thanks for the great work, both of you (and friends) - look forward to the next installment

awesome train display! love it

Love you CAD(Cardboard Assisted Drawings) work. Later if you want, add some pressure struts to assist in lifting. That way it will not twist as much and maybe you could lift it with your pinky. Nice work so far.I'll

This is great Karl that you and Brent are doing this. Your plasma cutter. Can cut some really thick stock. Looking forward to this build. Thank you very much!

Really enjoying the collaboration build. The cab over is one huge project.👍

Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching ✌️

That was Awesome! Thanks.

That is awesome, I was just sketching some custom logos for my truck and wondered who could fab them!

You might want to consider adding a couple of gas lift struts. They would help lift the cab and slow the fall. The torsion bar would do most of the work, but the struts could be the difference. They would also stabilize the cab side to side.

Welcome HAK to JK! Great collaboration on the build. Small point to mention, you should not weld, drill, heat frame flanges. Makes them a weak point. Bolt angle bracket to frame web and weld on that. Awesome project, need a smaller version for the baby Buick.

I wish I had fab skills like you guys you guys can literally build anything you want so cool

Hey Karl, if you don’t want to make the jump to an updated computer with updated software, check your local thrift stores. You can sometimes find old computers there that will run your current software.

That ramp truck is going to be so cool. Funny how my favourite channels all have CNC plasma tables lol you, Brent and Lee

Cool I saw Rich's post on BC project cars and was thinking about getting him to do some badges for my suburban the "Burntban" as I'm rebuilding it a second time after an engine fire

My two favorite RU-vid channels working together, how freaking cool is that?!?! If you guys don’t do more projects together I will be sorely disappointed!!!!

I need you to teach me how to be so good with a torch. My goodness you are like a cnc with that thing!!

Great job on the pivot and spring. Already looking forward to the next video.

The boxed frame extensions are works of art. Great problem solving skills and mental visualization of the frame rail and steering pump mounting solutions. Great video as usual. Looking forward to seeing progress on the Zephyr but I understand. Too many projects, not enough time.

Crazy good skills and a kick ass music mix!

Hell yeah!!

Howdy, you do very nice work! The cab will be easier to raise if you leave both doors open! Best wishes from WI

REALLY GOOD ON YOU GUYS...KEEP IT GOING...

Hello from the Netherlands . thanks for the video . Sincerely, Hollandduck

Truck is going to be too cool nothing cooler than a cab over than a cab over ramp truck have a Great day

That plasma table is one bad ass Mochine, dang it’s smooth. I can’t believe how clean it pierced.

Best collaboration on RU-vid🤘

Awesome job Karl 👍

What a wonderful show that even the old timers enjoy it . Glad you could hook up with some great Manitoba talent lol.

👍Good luck in 2023

Kool thanks sharing 👀👀

I was not laughing even when I tuned in. Then you show up with that charming smile . I felt much better then. Then after you got back from pizza bros with that crazy plate the other dude made with your logo on. F that was so funny bro. Now I was chuckling about the teeth in that Samurai skeleton.great work on the chassis Mr. ! Good to see half ass turn up. I hope his expertise is available tomorrow! Thanks for the interesting show.

two of the best together wicked

Impressive, for two guys used to working alone I'm sure it is nice to brainstorm as you go. Nailed those front frame supports on one go, nice.

Love ya channel mate can’t wait for the finished product bloody awesome 👌👌👌

By golly it looks as though you guys have this build figured out. I would have been surprised if not. It is a pleasure watching such great talent. Speaking of talent I was having breakfast at a resturant in Portland and there was a gray '46, I think, Ford sedan parked out front. I found out who owned it and struck up a conversation. It was Lee from L&C. Great guy. I don't know what it is about you guys from Canada but it is always my pleasure talking and learning from you. I remember the days I used to attend the Portland Swap and the guys from Canada were the best. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas.

Be careful with that Brent, they say he drinks a quart of 10W/30 every morning just to loosen up before work. He's a real killer! 😁 Nice work fellas. 👍😉✌

Pretty new to the channel. Honestly can’t say one bad thing about it. I think it’s awesome. I enjoy watching it. Keep up the great work -Pidge

Great minds think alike…👍

I've been making a C8000 Ford cab over into a rollback for about a year and seeing that cab outside at your shop in a video had me excited to see the build. I'm a poor city employee so things go slow. If you open the doors it helps lower the raising weight. Your channel and Halfass has been two of my favorites for a couple of years. Good luck and thanks for.this build.

Man, I am so looking forward to seeing this truck come to life! Thanks for the inspiration to keep at my build.

Truck washes for semi trucks here in Oklahoma have something similar that they spray on the wheels and fuel tanks that eats off all the grease and road grime and makes them shine like new. No idea what they use but I've pulled a semi truck or two into some of these truck washes off of the Interstates and had a company truck cleaned before. Man it makes the truck look awesome!
