Very well done. Thanks for posting.

 

Saw him post about this on his Instagram thanks for posting. I really love Brian's work I wish he still posted build threads here.

 

Bass has mad skills.................and great vision.

 

I really enjoyed my visit to Brian’s shop in Dallas.
Meeting Brian and talking with him while he was taping numbers on the red 32 roadster was time well spent.
He’s a great guy.

 

Bass is Bad...

Now there is a guy, who gets it! Thanks for posting this HEMI32.

 

I kinda wondered what Aaron Kaufman was doing after being an Ass Monkey.
Looks like he's doing video shop tours.
Good to see he's still in the industry.
I would love to have a couple hours in Mr. Bass' shop to look around.
It's dripping with old school cool.

 

Nice post Hemi 32 - and thanks for posting....I just think of Brian as a good all around grounded guy - glad he's around to show his skills and view's every now and then.

 

I learned something from the video, thanks for the upload.

Brian is truly a down to earth guy! Always try and stop in to take him out to lunch when I'm in TX, always enjoy talking cars with him!

 

Thanks Hemi 32 for the post! I greatly admire Brian's fab skills and his build's. Would cherish the chance to have a burger and a beer with him someday.

 

Thanks for the post 32, we should all be so lucky to carve out a way to make a living doing what we truly love doing. It's great to hear the passion Brian has. Joe

 

Fantastic. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before his reputation proportionally rewards him financially. Surprised to hear him say "hotrod building doesn't always pay the bills" or something like that. What a great talent! Thanks Todd.

 

The '34 Coupe that he helped Gas Monkey Garage build is on the cover of the latest issue of Hot Rod Magazine (March 2018)

 

Knuckle or Panhead Inner Primary, Outer Primary Cover, Tranny Base Plate hanging on the wall..... hmmmmm, must be into bikes too.

 

That is correct, Aaron owns "Arclight Fab" (an O/T truck fabrication company) ... and is returning to television with his own program.

That is correct:

​

... as well as the latest issue of The Rodder's Journal:

​

That all stated, I'd prefer to keep this thread focused on the Brian Bass video interview(s) ... I'd really hate for this thread to be closed because certain folks like to "discuss" reality television programs instead of Traditional Hot Rods & Customs.

 

Brian does build bikes as well.

Well said , class act!

 

My visit to Brian’s shop was in 2015 , the year I hauled my RPU to Rod Tops in Michigan to have the top made.
The day I showed up Brian was on the driver side of the roadster taping out the numbers that are on it now.
As I said earlier it was a fun visit and before I left I bought a couple of Bass Kustom T shirts.

 

The first time I met Brian, he was driving the primer red Ford, a 49 or 50. It was a swapmeet in a field in Texas, I asked if he was on the HAMB and he had never heard of the HAMB

 

It's here!

 

So nice to see a man without all these silly tattoos ...

 

Thanks for posting this,I too miss his threads here on the Hamb. HRP

 

So cool! Thanks for posting.
