Khaos Design Stout’s build is truly special because literally every sheet of metal is customized in some way, shape, or form. The talent showcased in this series is special and she slows down and shows us in more detail in this video, allowing us all to better understand the methods and techniques involved in this creativity. I love the look, the methods, and the results and can’t wait to see the rest of this project completed.
If you haven’t seen any of Chaos Design’s videos, you’re missing out on a builder with some serious metal forming and design skills. Her latest creation is a 1964 Toyota Stout pickup. We haven’t shared the full build yet, but we might now. We did, however, share a video of her showing off the firewall build. This thing is incredible in that she has taken a very simple design, yet made it look incredibly ingenious and very well executed.
If you don’t find this video educational and inspiring, then you’re missing the point. There are also some cool tricks she doesn’t mention that you, the observant, will undoubtedly notice.
Can you check it out in the video? Watch it and let me know what you think.

As suggested, I’ve taken it a bit slower in this video. I think it will explain the process of making a panel from scratch, from creating the paper template to the final metal finish. Let me know what you’d like to see more of and how I can improve this video.
After moving the wall behind the cab 60mm back on the sill and thickening the pillars in the last video there was a large empty space behind the floor that needed to be filled in. I wanted the shape to be strong enough to structurally support the cabin, but also to allow the pieces to flow smoothly from the tunnel to the back of the wall.
In the next video I will be cutting the front of the cab and pillars in preparation for the rust repairs and cutting the roof out of the A-pillars. Hopefully I can start making the roof skin soon. It may take a few months to put together the footage for these videos so please be patient. I am only able to work on Stout one day a week 🙂
