We visit BUNKER BRANDING to talk about shirts, hats and other goodies. Back at the shop while Tony boxes up the frame I build some body mounts for the DEMOLITION CUDA. And I introduce you to Jackson our new tech. We also weld in many of our videos. If you are sensitive to bright lights, skip over that segment.

I Suggest a “FLASH WARNING” when zoomed in while welding that way someone doesn’t have a seizure. Lmao 😂
Another Demolitia Sub! Love the work you do! Makes me miss my muscle car days.
check out this video usworlds.info/slow/video/jK-Cq6rFrpx6laE something you could look at for the body or the help for them
Needs to have the DR in the firewall or the wings
How much for that 6 pack set up I need one for my 440
You should number the demo cuda vids
Is the shirt you were wearing in Matt's video when he drove the 5 ton to your shop available, that is a bad ass looking shirt!
Dude nice work but wear some sleeves when welding
Matt was talking about a green for the Cuda in his last episode. He has the crome El Camino of course. So I was thinking what about painting it crome with a green tint to the clear coat. If that would be possible? Then it could be the triple C (crome Cummings Cuda)
NICE!!!
Great video.... the time lapse welding was sweet watching the bead go down. Just overall legend craftsmanship.
I have a model car that looks just like that orange charger
You make it look so easy, great detail and it seems to be moving along nicely.
Such incredible imagination man love watching your Channel
Just a thought use two magnets on your framing square to help hold in place while cutting.
Now that you have a GM guy in the shop I might have to get a build done. Hell, who am I kidding, maybe someday though, I nice 1950's c100. Awesome channel guys, keep up the good work.
***WARNING*** MAY CAUSE EPILEPTIC SHOCK, IF SENSITIVE TO FLASHING OR BRIGHT LIGHTS, PLEASE SKIP OVER ANY WELDING ASPECTS OF THIS VIDEO
Also, RIP camera sensor from welding clips....? What camera are you using?
SONY ZV1. I was expecting it to dim.
Need to get your tags soon. Keep it going, link merch store when it updates please.
Will do.
Awesome video guys, this things coming along pretty quick
I'm curious about the result of all of the reinforcements added to the chassis and the behavior in case of a crash and also the weight. Really like the build videos that show the actual work and not just results. Welds, cuts and fabrication in general on road cars is mostly illegal where I live, I'd have to get an engineer to sign on it and even then it might fail.
TEXAS! You could build damn near anything here. Most people tend to do a pretty good job building "custom" or "hand built" projects here. I have to say though, this CUDA will be a little over built. He won't have to worry about a crash cause it'd probably go straight through a freight train with it if needed....
My brother in law makes magnets if you need any... dont know if he does custom yet but i seen guns and flags at his house other day...
We love magnets for sure.
3 or 400lb giant sword hanging over a door... They really did upgrade the security 🤣
Man u do really nice and clean work. And your attention to detail is spot on.
love watching your video content Brandon you have a good mix of fun, engineering and detail where needed and good use of speedup too, great job...!!!
jeeez i really need to learn how to weld!
So We are here at Bonker XD LMAO (Sorry just making fun of you ;P love you guys!
WOW NEW SUBSCRIBER 👍👍👍👍 SUPER IMPRESSIVE 👌 SHOP&EMPLOYEES 🤙
Thanks for the sub!
mmm those perfect welds give me goosebumps! Awesome video
The snare drum in the intro is out of phase 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵
Before the video I was like dang 24 minutes and after I was like dang only 24 minutes? This video felt way shorter
On my side I feel they are way too long. But then again I can watch videos that are 45 mins if i like it and have no problems.
Great fab work, looks good.
So damn great videos. Love to see how you explain everything you make. So damn intressting stuff. You are a really great teacher. I got hooked on this video for sure. Wish i have this guy as a teacher when i was young. Would be more fun and i wouldnt fight my teachers like i did a lit when i was younger. But now iam a father and i teach my kids fighting are bad. Only protect yourself and self defence are oki. Or protect girls girlfriend woman. Then its ok i said. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 found you trough Demolition Ranch 💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Good welding is always amazing to watch, especially after the welds get cleaned up. AWESOME VIDEO!
5:00 ask Matt about transitions. The change in sound actually made me jump, and I'm sure Matt could help you with adding them. I'm sure it'll help and be fun to add them (music, etcetera)!
Beautiful beast cars.
You should do a video with Matt out on his range with the pew pews - let’s hope YT won’t demonetize you for it. Just don’t let Matt anywhere near the Cuda’s with his 50 cal 🤣
Just to let you guys know you might want put a warning in the beginning of the video with welding in it so anyone that is watching the video that has epileptic seizures will know ahead of time so they are aware of it. But is a great video guys.
14:40 welders helmet required 😎
looks like you guys could use a small CNC plasma table to help in creation of the body mounts etc.. Langmuir Systems makes a pretty affordable one.
I'll look into it. Thanks.
You make this look easy. I enjoy seeing how things are made like those body mounts. Really nice job.
Thanks 👍
love the build mate following along with this
Yall need a cnc u can Make it ur self. U got the plasma cutter already
I know! We have a Lincoln torchmate table just not the right torch... coming soon hopefully.
When do we get to see you in an episode of Demolition Ranch?
Man I hope it'll be soon. "Will a 50bmg make it through 5 HEMI blocks???"
Yes on the flag hung on the wall at bunker love your cars and video
Thank you very much.
So, I'm not a car guy. I can't tell a (name a random car) from a (name another random car). Still, you make these videos both interesting and entertaining. Who knows, maybe eventually, I'll become a car guy. However I do retain my man card by being able to drive a stick.
Then you certainly deserve your man card! Fewer and fewer people these days know how to shift anymore.
Yup, the Muscle Rod Shop banner definitely needs to be on that back wall. I will be buying some merch when it is up and ready.
I might need to have a few hundred thousand more subs to go on that wall.. A couple years, we'll get there.
Damn he should leave that 6 pack original
That's what I think too. Love the 6pack
hey guys when is the engine comming back for demo cuda it's been too long , i was wondering
In a couple weeks. We've got plenty to do until then though. Just have to find a way to show ya'll everything.
Good things to coming soon... 😊
Can't wait!
And bunker branding is only 14 hours from my house. I’ll be there in no time
I’m going to plan a trip to bunker branding, but how would I book a short tour of muscle rod shop while I’m there?
It's worth the trip.
Epic work!!! Love it!!
Thanks a lot!
Nicely done! While Im not a "car guy"...Im in manufacturing and often have to build machinery and Stuff. Love to watch pros doing good, logical and clean work!
Thanks 👍
Amazing work and awesome channel keep it going 🍻🇨🇦
Thank you! Will do! Thanks for watching.
Although we/I love the demo Cuda build I would also like to see more of what you folks do. You have hired masters of their trade and you do simply beautiful work. So I would like to see much more of what you do. I love matt's videos but because of Matt I have discovered you folks. One thing about Matt he has a knack of finding the nicest people I love him and his whole family.
He is defiantly one of a kind. Very humble. I'll put more videos up about the entire shop.
I think that would be a great idea
Amazing work. Fascinating to watch craftsmen create masterpieces.
Nice work!
Thanks!
very random but same headphones lol
Well mine are skull candy.
I want to watch mad max again!
Been seeing your channel for a few months now and am a proud subscriber not only cus of the cuda but because horse power and ingenuity.
Thank you. I'm trying to vids of the cars out on the road.
Welcome Jackson 👍🏻
Ya he's an awesome dude for sure.
Did he say bonker branding
Not sure what i said....
How will the 3D printing of metals, and other height strength lightweight materials effect your part manufacturing in the future (once it’s faster AND cheaper to 3D print parts? We 3D print gold, silver and other metals usually used in small quantities, and it’s already cheaper, faster, just more efficient than hand made.
We are looking into not only 3D, but plasma table also.
Hey MuscleRodShop I love your videos on the Demo Cuda but please put a seizure warning in when you are doing the spot finish welding. I know why you use the technique and I won't criticize you using it... just a seizure warning please...
Will do. I'll certainly try an remember that.
Watching these videos really makes me want to learn to weld
It's easy actually. I have taught a couple people in literally 20 mins.
Tell Matt not to be cheap. Link it with some nice suspension. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
We're going with leafs for now.... But, later we can upgrade with a triangulated 4 link suspension. A tubular cage is going under the CUDA so that when he does want to switch over, it'll be ready to go.
Have you ever tried pushing the weld instead of dragging weld?
No. Would the tip be pointing in the opposite direction?
I can't wait to see the demo Cuda finished. This will be epic.
@MuscleRodShop i totally get that! Im watching for all the others too! My dream car is a 67 chevelle SS and im waiting to see one retored on your channel.
MEEEE TOO!!! I love it but like all the 20 other cars in the shop I want them ALL to be finished and go home.
Dude. Your videos kick ass. The music isn't overpowering. You provide tips and tricks. Explanations while doing the sped up parts. Very well done.
@MuscleRodShop dude. Editing is a B. You're making good videos. Keep it up. Makes m want to door of them since I mentor kids here on mechanics.
Thank you. I know I'm missing a lot of info but I don't realize it until I edit the video.
Getting some bunker shirts made. Never saw that coming. 😂😂. Hope it all goes well. I’m sure it will.
HA It was inevitable.
using tin-snips to cut your cardboard template
@MuscleRodShop they are definitely superior to scissors in every way haha!
HA, always have. It's a habit. They just cut so good.
That's a crazy big trencher

I see them power crunches! Those are dope
I love watching you guys build and how you explain the process. You guys are truly artists with metal, and it's impressive to watch. I'm a Pontiac man myself, but I have a weak spot for 70's Mopar vehicles too! You actually make me want to try fabricating some stuff myself.
Do it. You have to just get some metal and start on it.
Looks like you guys could use a crane installed. It would make you job alot easier. They are definitely worth the money i highly recomend
Thats funny you say that. We were just talking about an A-frame gantry today.
When I get my hell cat charger I will bring it to you because I want to up the horse power and make it a wide body etc
Do it!
bro if you are doing a lot of fab work you will be better of with a CNC Lazer cutter
That new dude is a unit, good to see you expanding.
It’s. Very impressive that you have 130,000 subs
That's some pretty clean welds right there. You obviously have those settings dialed in spot on. Enjoying the content. Keep it up. ;)
Thanks 👍
Man, I wish I had half of your ability to weld Brandon and all this free hand. Do you have any idea how many miles you already did or at least how many in a year?
No wonder you're so good at it. ;) 20 years of doing this and still that enthusiastic or better obsessed with restoring or building and improve cars is the reason why I enjoy watching your vids. So I'm really happy to see more of you great work.
No idea. been doing this 20 years though.
Love the craftsmanship and knowledge.
Looks like some amazing talent in that garage of yours. Nice builds and real good quality of build. Old and new styles incorporated, very impressive to see and rare.
Stacking tacks is not welding. Beautiful work otherwise.
Thanks for the update, great watching it come along. I shall have to add your shirt to my bunker list once they are up on there
Sounds great!
At 16:50 i hope you are using non plated nuts. Theres two problems with plated nuts, first is that the welds wont hold and second is toxic fumes they release when welding. Also i have my doubts of those nuts and the weld holding. Frame bushings can dampen the impacts only so much, so next place to take the load from heavy bumps is the nut.
luckily I can hold my breath for 2hrs. The weld on the nut is not for strength, it is so that the nut will not spin when it is installed in a 1/4" walled box I cannot get into to hold the nut while tightening. Just bolt up and go. I usually only put a tack on it, sometimes I over do thing just a little bit.
Another great video Brandon 🙂 you're getting to be a pro at doing them...👍😉
Thanks 👍
I am really digging the metal fabrication portion of Matt's car. That's for all the cool footage and keep the good work.
Thanks, will do!
I'm watching two different car build series right now, and it's hard to tell which I'm in love with more- either the Cuda, or the Corvair over on Matt's Off Road Recovery!
The corvair is not even a 4x4...
CUDA build.
Excellent video. Thanks.
You are welcome!
Ok holy jeez balls... That was a functional six pack? I don't care if it's original that's pretty sick... And probably a market for it. I'm sitting here praying it goes to a good home!
I'm going to hang it up in my Livingroom
You didn't tell Mere right? 🤣
Actually.... Kind of.
Love watching the fabwork. Im a journeyman machinist who specialized in Tool and Die work as well as fabricating my own jigs and fixtures. I.really miss that type of work. Now I'm all CNC with very little manual machining. I went from an artist to a robot. Hard to brag about what a computer and a robot did when all you do now is push a few buttons. After the Demo car I'll still be here watching the magic. Cheers!!
Thank you. Keep up your good work too. Robots (helpers) are useless until YOU tell them what it is they need to do. So who's the artist again?
Nice work!
Thanks!
Watched this on my tv and holy shit did that welding part blind me 😳😂😂 thought I was standing next to you welding for a second aha
Sorry about that. I thought this camera would dim a bit...
Might want to do a Seizure Warning before clips of welding. Just a bit of friendly advice
Totally got me. I'm like oh, new off the ranch... What the... Ohhh well ok👍😉
Stackin' Dimes......
You guys are doing such a phenomenal job, all your cars are top notch.
