Welcome to ‘The Midnight Express’ channel!
follow along as i teach myself how to weld, fabricate, do body work, and make my own tools to achieve my ultimate goal of building a pro touring classic Chevy truck.
I'm just a regular guy working in a single car garage and in my yard, I don't have a background in automotive or fabrication. I've been a truck driver for 20 years and I'm wanting more in life. A more full filling life.
I hope my videos help inspire someone to take a chance in life and start a project they've been wanting/thinking about doing. It takes money but you don't have to have piles of it.
Follow me as I build my own tools to turn a rusty truck I saved in to a #protouring truck

SWEEET !!! thank you!! I am loving learning and doing welding at fabrication 🤘
@luckysdiygarage I subscribed too 🤘
@MidnightCustoms-C20 hell yeah🤘thanks boss ..you just motivated me to grab our welding machine and practice..haha
@luckysdiygarage right on bro!! Thats dope 👌 I can't wait to get home and do the same lol
Keep it up!
Craptastic
Nice cart!
@@landoncustomclassics thank you! It was a lot of fun to build.
Nice! I need to get a Mig and plasma! I have an old lincoln tombstone stick welder.
@landoncustomclassics they are really nice! I believe my girlfriend has one of those lincoln tombstone welders too I'll have to ask her lol. These are great machines from Arc captain though and pretty budget friendly.
I like what I see in your video list. How to DIY your own stuff is what I’m all about!🛠️
@HammerWrench thank you! That's awesome!!! Sure folks can go buy stuff. But I'm on a budget and I get so much more from building it, in the way of education and experience, and the satisfaction that I "built" something useful.
Well done bro! Learning takes time, You did great man.
@@adzthewise much appreciated 🤘 thank you!
RIP lieutenant dan,
We will rebuild
rust to riches i like that
@@Tannerrebuilds I think it's a great phrase
you did one amazing job. i think i might have to make my own. thanks for the inspiration
@Tannerrebuilds thank you bud!! And you're welcome! My goal for this channel is to help inspire others to do and build things, coming from a regular guy that's not a professional. I can't wait to see what yours looks like when you build it 👍
Cool
Whoops
First. Attempt. In. Learning.
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 yes sir. Have to start somewhere
I gotta say buddy! For 20 years all I have done is work tirelessly, and never did anything else. And then one day I bought this classic Chevy C20 truck and now I'm here. And It's good to be here, win, lose, or draw. Learning a lot, making new friends, you included.
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 thanks so much. The car community is awesome, I hope it always will be. I have made a bunch of friends here too, you included.
Thank you! I hope it is always great too! Did you get the stickers I sent ?
Oops
It's all an educational process. Lol
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 Yep. Gotta learn somehow
Cool set up
Sweet!
That turn out nice
Man that cart looks good...I know this video is not about the cart...I am interested in that plasma torch...I'll check it out
I really like the plasma cutter. It took me a little bit to figure out the settings. But once I did it worked great.
Thank you! I really am impressed with the cart, too, wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out lol
Love it
I really like your welding cart
Thank you!!! I'm really impressed with it myself. Actually so is Arc captain liked ot so much they used the picture in a couple of their ads this week.
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 cool
Howdy
Howdy Bud!
Got your stickers today. They are awesome! Thank you
SWEET!!! Im happy you like then! Thank you!
Use your regular square to get in between your tacks. Also, you can use a 1/2” x 1/2” x 6”-10” square stock or something comparable and you can use it between your wide square and whatever you can’t reach because of the tacks.
That's a great tip! Thank you for the advice and I will definitely try that out on future projects.
Nice job pal, I've put off getting a plasma way too long and I need to build a decent folder to.
Thanks bud, both tools are definitely nice to have.
Cool C20
@@hickeyskustomresto thank you! The plan is to build a pro touring truck with it
Nice job pal, I made one once it looked more like an armoured vehicle, way too heavy.
Did you build a killdozer? Lol Thanks bud! This is my first one
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 It looked more like a dalek out of Dr WHO. It's on my channel somewhere, I soon chopped that thing up. Yours is more what I should have made.
Heck yeah ...grate job
@one62projects I'm super proud of it. I think it turned out great
Nice!
Jackpot
Very impressive
@@WhiskeyDents I'm super proud of it
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 you should be. It’s really nice
Beautiful ors gorgeous, well dont
Cool
Looks fun to me
@WhiskeyDents I'll either get it right, or I'll mess it up. Either way I'm gonna get a hands on edumacation lol
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 plenty of places to practice lol.
🤣🤣🤣 good thing they make everything for those trucks. Just time and money 💰
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 exactly
The thing about time and money is very rarely do we have both at the same time lol
Oooftah! That's a bad rust issue!
Definitely. The truck spent most of its life in Salt lake city. But the upside is the amount of skill and experience I'm going to get from doing this project. Also lots of content for youtube 😅
Cool 😎 thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Awesome
@1776_Garage I'm happy about it. Trying to load up a dead rig by hand or come a long is for a man younger than me lol
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 I hear ya. I used my zero turn mower to push the Mercedes around. Now that's redneck. Lol
Your a content Machine lol
🤣🤣🤣 works slow. I have time to get the ideas out of my head and into the garage, plus the misses is side tracked. No honey, do list for me 😅
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 outstanding
Also im trying to get this channel off the ground and catch up to where you are at
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 personally if I could make it happen I’d do 2 videos a week. It’s tough doing Fridays lol
@WhiskeyDents I get that! Normally I'm slammed at work and be lucky to get a video a month out... but also I'm trying to do quality content and the channel is about a 71' chevy it's kind evolved in to a diy fabrication channel as I've realized there's tools and things I need that need and started building them instead of buying them. At some point real soon I'll get back to working on the truck.
That's a cool truck! Be careful with those death wheels flying apart!
@thejunkyardnecromancer definitely. It's a different situation when it started blowing chunks back at ya lol 😅
Cool
Hello midnight...we all have to learn welding by practice...over 90 degrees here in north CA
@one62projects it's definitely an art. I'm really having a blast learning how to, weld and fabricate. I have some projects I started and gotta finish. But I'm going to get to working on the Chevy and making content for that since this is what the channels actually about. And the heat 🥵
Howdy
@@1776_Garage howdy Bud
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 Hope you had a good 4th.
@1776_Garage I did. We didn't do much but it was good. Hope you did as well
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 We did. It's time to get a welding helmet and start practicing myself.
@1776_Garage right on! That's exciting! Take your time and go slow . I get in a hurry welding sometimes and it doesn't look as good as I'd hoped it would.
Coke cane siniffl
That’s exactly what I thought too
It makes it easy to concentrate. 🤫
I always got an onion in my pocket
Neat
How to machine parts, on cocaine.
@terencejay8845 not me. It's the pacific northwest allergies over here.
@@MidnightCustoms-C20 I'm in the pnw too... The "allergies" are good, very pure 😂
