Carter is a beast. I'm over here wringing my hands over a silver dollar sized hole in my cab corner and this man is reconstructing a whole van from scratch with basic tools. my hat is off to you sir!
If this is a series on "how to live an unfulfilling life" what does that mean for those of us are only watching? 🙄 The wit and workmanship in this episode is stellar! This is one of my favourite episodes!
i am old mechanic watching you do body work and you explaining it us. i hate body duds that they are special and it all secret you make easy and neat to simple way doing i know you good friends with cold motor this why i watched you when open your channel you are old school like me . you giving reality look on what takes work on cars . love you jacket i have coveralls that i still work in when they total shot rags they become .keep up good work and rome was not built in day . keep good work , most would crushed that but us old school look and "We Can Do IT" . Total Awesome. today now one rebuilt parts just replace . i just fix them like i did in old days and save money. for next product . Thank you.
I've heard of "A van down by the river.". This van however appears to have been "Under the river!" I'm currently working on this GMC's German cousin - a '58 VW bus. It was a plumber's work van and what it lacks in rust (it had plenty), it more than makes up for in dents and collision damage 😆. I've set myself on fire and cut the hell out of myself while working on it. I'm happily ruining my life with it 👍 Thank you for the great video!
That van makes my Wagoneer with its factory installed rust look like a pristine one owner barn find. I'm encouraged just knowing I don't have it as bad as that.
What I thought there was going to be 1000 episodes tonight , I got the 400 pound bag of popcorn and everything! lol 😆 Nice work , looking forward to seeing the whole project happen.😎👍
I'm getting caught up on past episodes that I haven't seen. Amazing skills Sir! That van will knock em dead at the Pebble Beach....um....parking lot for us fiscally disadvantage d!!! Up to episode 4. Great vids and thanks!
If you ever get out near Balgonie, there is a place called Truck Boneyard, might have heard of it. They`ll have lots of parts you may be looking for. No on-line presence. I go there once in a while to just sit amongst the rust and enjoy the peace and quiet. Doing non-existent rockers on my 1958 Pontiac Stratochief (which i bought from truck Boneyard 25 years or so ago. This is a great help
Nice work, I’m rebuilding my fathers 1930 model a tudor. The bottom 6 inches of the car all the way around are gone. When you look at it as a whole project it’s a hell no, take one piece at a time like you said you fix it. Now the van has nice rockers it don’t look so bad the next piece van looks even better. I just subscribe so I can watch the build. 👍
One previous owner, Fred Flintstone. I was just thinking where the hell do you even start, then you answered my question, must be on the same wavelength 🤪 👍🏴
You never, ever disappoint - your channel should be required viewing before starting a new project! Great job and amazing "real world fixes" for "barn find" problems!
Thanks! I'm already feeling like collapsing onto the floor and just staring at the ceiling for 30 minutes contemplating how much work there is to do and how it will never get done!
thank you for the video, i just show my wife stuff like this and she reilizes my projects arent as bad as they seem. hope your up on your tetnus shots !
I think I would have taken one look at that van and advised that it goes to the scrap yard but you are making good progress. Many years ago my brother bought a classic Capri which looked good but in reality with all the filler removed was in the same state as that van. It took us 18 months to de rust and paint it. The positive side is that we learned a hell of a lot about metal shaping. Keep these excellent videos coming.
I actually prefer working on original vehicles like this van because it has nothing to hide. The ones that have the bodywork done, or are advertised as paint ready/ older restoration are almost guaranteed to be a disappointing mess underneath.
@@CarterAutoRestyling I prefer "unmolested" projects myself, even if it's a basket case. Once someone else gets their hands on a cutting wheel, who knows what will result.
Superb job! I love watching you work. You are a master craftsman. Those vans were once very common, but are now very rare for the reason you are repairing. It will be a nice save.
Thank you for the nice words! I was hesitant to post any videos on this project because there isn't really much "craftsmanship" involved. I'm not getting too fancy as the goal is just to save an otherwise unsavable vehicle. However, it seems people are enjoying the back to basics approach on this one so I'll continue with the updates.
Thanks Ken! It's seen better days, but I look at it as a clean slate because no one has ever tried fixing it before. It's nice not having to clean up / repair someone elses mess.
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. That opening hit so close to home...you had me laughing so loud...my wife wondered what was happening. I wish I had seen this vid before deciding it would be "fun" to restore my rusted out 1976 K20 Chevy Truck!
Hi Dennis, thanks for checking out my video! I've owned a few 73-87 Chevy trucks so I feel your pain in the rust department! Good luck with your project!
I’ve been waiting for your next video thank you. I’m glad here in Arizona where I’m from I don’t have to deal with that kind of rust I don’t know what I would do. Lol thank you
Lol, i had the same van in high school.... except, not that bad with rust...yikes.. Your workmanship is great!!! Happy to watch your channel... Glad its you and not me...hahaha
I have to do this type of repair on my late mum’s 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it seems so daunting. I purchased the metal but I’ve second guessed that. Thinking it might be easier to buy the rockers from a southern parts cars.
In my opinion just buy new rockers. They make 2 styles. Slip on and oem style. The slip on are the cheap easy option, that are designed to be lap welded without removing the doors and front sheetmetal. Oem style requires disassembling half the vehicle and major cutting/welding. My experience with "rust free" southern parts is they are either rusty or have been in a violent collision and poorly repaired. By the time you get done drilling spotwelds and prepping used panels it won't be worth the time/money.
I haven't seen one of those old GMC Vans in ages. I remember that when they first came out, they were in direct response to VW that had been producing micro-buses since the '50's. Both GM and Ford were trying to recover their buying public who'd before the VW bus would buy panel trucks, pick-ups or delivery wagons. I know in some states certain highways would not allow commercial vehicles like delivery wagons, pick-ups or panel trucks to drive on their surfaces. The micro-bus however, could be registered like a regular car, easily remove its back seat and carry commercial goods or equipment and was allowed to operate on these segregated parkways. One specific way of identifying what was considered commercial or not was if it had at least one side window. This is wht when American Vans first came out a lot of after market tear drop windows were installed.
@@CarterAutoRestyling There's a lot history in rules of the road in motoring. Have you ever seen those old 1930's to early 1950's movies where the driver will enter the car from the passenger side seat and slide across the bench seat to his position behind the wheel? Have you ever wondered why the model-T 4door sedan and phaeton didn't have a driver's side door that opened? If you know why, tell me. If you don't know why tell me that too and I'll tell you why.
@@briquetaverne I watch a lot of old movies. It was illegal in a lot of places to exit a vehicle into traffic, which is also why lock cylinders were only on the passenger side. As for the doors on a model T, Canadian built T's actually had 4 functional doors because we were exporting cars to RHD countries. Even when the USA built cars went back to functional doors in 26-27, they were almost completely useless because of the location of the hand brake and steering column. It comes down to manufacturing costs more than anything else, it wasn't practical to tool up a door that served no purpose. It also added some structural rigidity to the body as '25 and older T bodys were framed with wood. It pretty common for a lot of early cars to have dummy doors on the drivers side for the same reasons.
@@CarterAutoRestyling You got it.... Plus there's one other smaller reason. Society of the time dictated that women enter on the cars on the passenger side because roads of the day were not often paved and there wouldn't be horse apples to step in accidentally on that side. Women were more often than not gallantly escorted to the right rear seat by the gentleman driver who would open the rear door for her aid her to step up and in then close the door behind her. Since as you say the T's brake handle blocked entry somewhat from the driver's side and as there was no door anyway, it was just as easy to slide over across the front bench seat via the passenger front door after having closed the passenger side rear door for M'lady.
That used to be my go to as well. The trouble is that then I'm so burnt out I don't want to fix all the little stuff, and the little stuff ends up turning into a bigger job than anticipated haha
You continue to reenforce my decision to build a car that is supposed to look like it was built by a teenager with no tools or skills. Actually, it was a great episode. I hate to admit it, but I think I learned something. You also know the secret to any successful TH-cam video... cats.
Your decision is far more logical... which is why my long term plan for the channel is to quit working on vehicles and dedicate 100% of the content to cat videos.
You probably could have fitted together Johnny Cash's Cadillac. The one where the title weighed 60 lbs. One piece at a time... and didn't cost me a dime.
Wow, awesome! Are you going to leave holes and plastic plugs for oil spray? My father-in-law invented the cheap Canadian backyard recipe to spray cars, 1/3 linseed oil, 1/3 chain saw oil (because it is water-soluble) and 1/3 WD40.
Yeah the sedan delivery was a little worse for wear haha, but it will be awesome when you're done! The goal on this van is just a fun driver, there's no way I would have taken it on if it was meant to be a show piece haha.

Well it's best to watch with caution, because this insanity is contagious. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
Good point!
That big block of Swiss cheese looks almost like a GMC van.
You were very lucky to find your van in mint condition. It made the work much easier.

Thanks for viewing the back catalog!
Excellent instruction. Hours of work, and patience. Great tip about having "information", and breaking things down into manageable pieces.
Thank you, glad you found the tip worthwhile!
Watching this again but Stoned, Its even a better after a Bong.
Good Job, it's noble of you make such a sacrifice towards keeping the Van Life dream alive 👍
Haha yeah all the hipsters have been ruining the scene so I'm just doing my part
I think you are 1 of the best. You work like you wrote the book. Keep on keeping on
Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not the best at anything. Still learning every day!
When you said pristine and barn find I was thinking 30 minutes and a skim coat of bondo. I’ve changed my mind.
Thanks for the fun. 🤠
Haha I don't care how rusty it is as long as I don't have to do the bondo work
