8:50 am and Karl sends me back to the late 70's, in the elevator on my way up to the doctor's office. 😂
Great work Karl 👍
Carnt wait to see it finished!
The suspense is killing me ! 🤣

You are a "fortunate" man, Carl Fischer. What a sweetheart of a daughter. What a great personality and a talent you are. You are well on your way .... because of discipline and hard work. Thank you for sharing your inspirational lifestyle.
Possibly the best compliment is when people see a hand-made, one-off, custom piece..and don't realise that it is one. When something is so perfect, they assume it's the result of engineers, big factories and lots of dollars. Even car guys are going to wonder about this grille shell!
Anybody who complains about the price of custom handmade body pieces needs to watch this video just to see how many hours goes into making the parts just right. Also, I like brass as a welding backer. I have a brass dolly that I found at an old dudes shop that works great for filling gaps and holes.
I like when the clock is behind you, we can see how much time it take to be that finicky. Labor of love.
The show is great. I’ve watched lots of different how to do it car shows in none of them come close to this one. I’m a retired College college professor, and I know what good teaching is and he’s a natural easy to understand explains things very clearly informative and also entertaining I also appreciate the decorum. He never uses profanity, even when that piece of metal flew up and hit him in the eye. Some car shows are just laced with it on how to use so unnecessary but that’s not the case with this show, I’m gonna be a regular watcher. I’ve watched about eight or nine different episodes. Enjoyed everyone of them. Thanks Jennings Marshall.
"Magical Master of Metal Manipulation" You are the best Karl. Love ya work Mate. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.
Like always. I say. Why ??? I LIKE IT THAT WAY!!. Then you prove me wrong.That grill is a work of art.
Hey Karl. Was good to see you over at Brent's place. Thanx for helping out.
The grill is looking more amazing with each video! Absolutely fantastic. You should make a mold and press/produce this grill...seriously, car guys would kill for one of these! Well done! Go Japhands, keep moving forward!
thank you for lifting the spirit of a great guy i hope others will follow your lead
The Mad Scientist of Sheet Metal has done it again. Simply amazing talent Karl. Really looking forward to you getting together with Brent at his place.
All I see is a B.M.W. grill....Best Metal Work.
Impressive work Karl. Enjoy your time with Half ass.
God bless ya for help half-assed kustoms I'm sure Brent really appreciated your help God bless be safe man
That is superb, both your terrific skills and the inspiring video.
It’s heart warming to hear of your forthcoming trip to Winnipeg and Brent. He’s been so bravely positive after the fire, I do admire them both and you to for your loyal support.
Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy. When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 2 see👨🔧good job MIK
I’ve really enjoyed following this process…such a difficult part to make! 👏👏👏
Wow! Karl, you are good - VERY good. I just watched you helping on that fire damaged 1935 Dodge Coupe, Phoenix. Not only are you good with metal you are a good friend too. I am astonished what that planishing hammer can do in the right hands. thanx for sharing
Catch you at Brent and Ester Karl. That's going to be awesome.
Another great video Karl. Im enjoying the shorter format.
you have a great eye man, love how the design language goes with the duvall
I've built a few custom motorcycle tanks, cutting up others and assembling, but never reached the quality of tig welding you have shown in this grill. I wish had the experience with sheet metal that you have shown, that whole coupe is really coming together in a beautiful way. I was always welding plate and only ventured into sheet metal in the last years of my welding, you do an excellent job both in fitting and welding, and illustrating your technique, I've learned as much about sheet in the last two years as the previous forty years. At least I know what to ask for from the guys who are doing the sheet work, now. Thanks! Can't wait to see this custom finished and painted.
You should start a school or guild…. Teach people how to use the tools and make things. You could do a membership and fee based space with knowledgeable help, and classes for those just starting. It you weren’t in Canada I would be there every week! Lol. Love your work skill and level of explanation keep on keeping on!
It's always great watching you create your custom pieces. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Brent work together again.
You are one good man! The help and your friendship with Brent is truly amazing. Wish you and your family many blessings.
Like the air saw! Looks it cuts nice 😊👍🏾
Hi Karl, Thank you So Much for Helping Halfasscustoms. That made me subscribe to your channel... Hi from the UK
I was worrying about the center section dipping down where it joins together, but of course you handle it. I'm still concerned that the center will be a bit fragile. I think I would be tempted to bend a piece of plate and put a reinforcement doubler behind the center rib. Just seeing how much work you put into one part of the car makes you start to appreciate the hundreds and thousands of hours someone can get into a full custom build. Pretty frickin amazing.
Karl, you are the complete package!
* Craftsmanship to die for.
* Explanations even the thickest Dummo couldn't get wrong.
* Perfectly paced presentation.
* Video detail where needed, and fast-forward elsewhere.
* Camera and editing to perfection.
Thank you so much... I am at a time in my life where this is all less relevant... where were you when I needed you?
Yeah... I know... TH-cam was like Dick Tracy's watch, and you had not been born!
Long live the 'University of TH-cam' and its Professors! 😜
You forgot:
* speaks intelligent English.
* knows what he's talking about.
* No BS
* Doesn't try to crack stupid jokes.
* Seems like a nice bloke.
КарлПривет!Ты красавец.У тебя всё получается 😊
yep still BA!! Love your work Karl!
Thanks for sharing - you allways build something different and badass 👍👍
Can't wait to see you and Brent collaborating again. Super job!!
Hey Karl, You are very talented when it comes to metal. Can't wait to see the whole project done. Looking forward to seeing you with Dan from DD Speed Shop getting together. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.
It was great meeting him! Great guy
Love your work, and your taste in music!
Awesome as usual Karl! I enjoy the high speed time lapse while you are doing the light hammer work. It allows me to actually see the metal moving into shape while you manipulate it.
Split grill looks awesome!
Hi Karl great video as usual. Really glad your getting together with Brent and giving him a hand with his coupe. Thanks for the photo I got with you at the Rosehill Hot Rod Show and hope you enjoyed you sausage roll. Cheers
stunning
Hello from REPUBLICA MODOVA tu aree the best
Nice going, Karl
Lookin forward to this build or the revamp.
Did you just do the Emilia hartford Bye LMAO. Great Video, Can't wait to see the Vid of you and Brent again.!
great tip, on the straightening mig wire..thanks..
.. Black Art Forge..
Nice work Karl
Your skill at metal working is something to be proud of. So often, we see lazy, quick metal work that is subpar at best. Then they cover it in way too much body filler. As you know, filler is only meant as the thinnest skim coat to smooth minor imperfections good metalwork can't always fix. While your metal work is top quality and time-consuming real working. Love it. Thanks.
Looks awesome!
Looks amazing.
Can't wait to see this grille finished!!!! Amazing talent!
No, we can really really see it and it is amazing.
Great tips Karl 👍
Turned out great! Thanks for the video! 😍
It looks great. I can't wait to see it later after finishing.
That is awesome.
I enjoy your art thanks for sharing 👍😀
Thats a nice grille design. Very cool.
Great job, I really like that split grill.
Awesome work , brother!
Looking good!
Thank you for explaining and showing all the details. It’s very helpful for me. 👍
Absolutely incredible!
That looks marvelous!
Good job. That split grill looks awesome.
Next level stuff right there
Man, that is a lot of work for such a small piece. Love watching the masters at work.
nice job well done
Such an awesome job,looks amazing!.
Absolute credit to your workmanship.
Excellent video thanks Karl.
Very cool
Another fine video, thank you. Please keep it going. I have learned a lot from you.
THANK YOU !!
Nice work mate!!!
Top job Karl😎👍
Nice job.
Bravo!
good job Karl 👍💪
You are a master craftsman Karl
Вдохновляющие видео!
So cool 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Looking good buddy 👌
GREAT! Gives me a idea about making my 64 El Camino into a 64 Pontiac. fred
I see all the little mistakes in that grill. So send it to me, make you a new one... Haha, not really. That is certainly a piece of art. You have completely mad skills. Respect!
I like the fact that you want your part to drop in. No clamps forcing the part to fit no bondo to cover seems. It like you build a go no go part pretty amazing. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
Awesome
New subscriber, great video thank you for sharing.
Looking Good. Looking Forward to seeing it all done.

Bro you are an artist! Was a bit surprised you never picked up a pliers or similar when you were tweaking the flanges. 😂
Another great tutorial!
Next on my agenda, tig welding. Mine, sadly is lift arc.
That grille is looking awesome!
I use copper backing quite often, it really helps with gaps, and thin metal.
I will comment on the Mother Tucker hammer, i felt the weight and was concerned but honestly, its the ticket for shrinking. The weight is there to move the metal, especially to get the tuck started. I have no regrets buying the hammer. Cant wait to get started on the cab repairs now.
This grille is one of a kind, unique and tastefully done.
Will be in the neighbourhood Aug 26. Would like to roll by for a quick shop tour if possible.
I would like to see you create a "32" Ford (or Chevy) with a slanted grill and windshield - similar to a '34 - but NOT Chopped. Keep the cute height of the originals (maybe increase the length of the doors a couple of inches - enough to make it more comfortsble - but not noticeable).
Karl absolutely beautiful. Wow that's crazy. Can't wait to see progress, projects more videos soon. Absolutely amazing watching you work sir. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
Thanks so much!
Metal Maestro
Nice work Karl split grill very cool. Australia.
I like this grill not the same ol same ol iron traps doing a similar build with Duval windshield frame 32 grill great your going to help him out
Awesome Matt. The Anglia grill shell you worked on give you the idea? The 1948 North American Anglia, only year available grill shell ,only, was 3 openings.
The Anglia 1938-39 in their model 10 also used the same grill.
Killer!
Nice....
Finesse 😎 that has to be the most expensive grill shell ever hung on a model A 😎 beautiful job as usual Karl
I don't think it's cost more than labour and metal?
Very educational- thank you - would like you to not accelerate the hammering a bit to give us a feel on how hard you hit it while you trim the part
Wow your workmanship and attention to detail is impressive. I wonder, at what point would the time doing this justify making a stamping die? Or would that only be for making multiples of the same part?
You need to do a collaboration with Derek from vice grip garage. He has a lot of old cars in need of some tender care.
