It’ll be a shame to paint over all that work. Looks freaking amazing!
I've got nothing much to say this time except I admire your aptitude and determination to complete the job, Thumbs up all the way
Nothing wrong with doing things the hard way. That's when you know you can whoop the odds being against you.
Good to see someone take the time to explain why they do things . Keep it up my friend ,
and i just ordered 3 gallons of Bondo , the hammer and dolly lessons are so helpful please keep them coming, that truck is going to be a work of ART !
You can save a lot of money if you just go with the 5 gallon pail!
Yes once your metal work gets better you'll be using less body filler or sometimes it's better to just replace the whole metal either find it out of the wrecking yard that is close enough or make a pieces from raw sheet metal.
When I first started doing body work right out of high school in 1987 I was using a whole lotta body filler. Intel I learned what other shop's were doing. Replacing metal. These day's they don't even do body work they replace parts or call it a total have the insurance pay out.
I bought a few classic with total paper work on them because shop's don't do work on car's that are 20 year's older.
@@g.o.b.2558 or BONDO BILLY
Now there's a body work hack. 🤣🤣🤣
Bondo is for those that have no metal finishing skills period.
@@jsh3234 Do you have any video's of your metal finishing work? Just curious. Because after all the welding and grinding sanding seems like trying to work the metal using no bondo/body filler will take up a whole lot of time when a person has a lot of other thing's to the car/truck safe to drive on the road there's a whole list.
Spend all that time on metal work when some one could just side swip all the work that has been done. I can see if someone was going to show it bare metal then yeah I can see spending many many hour's on metal finishing work and using lead filler what most metal finisher use is lead.
Your metal finishing work is the finest I’ve ever seen. Respect good buddy.
I thought all your magic came from your "shop coat" but even your going to town attire possesses the same powers!
Most excellent work, always such a great result 😊
It's good to see that you are doing this the old school way. Gene Winfield would probably approve.
Your work with the doing the wrong way is teaching us more than doing it the most correct way. My mentor in metal working told me the difference between a good body man and a great one is to be able to correct the mistakes.
Kyle you are the MAN You would be the person that I would want to do my chop top or any of body wok that I wanted or needed done. The best in explaining and showing how an expert would do such incredible work with hand tools A+++++++ videos Kyle.
Another great video. Very educational and informative about why you are doing everything to get it back into shape. Really like the visual aids while explaining what happens when you add pieces and effects of welding. Doing a great job with the repairs, videos, and explanations. Thanks again for bringing us along on this adventure. Until next time, have a great week.
That part you finished up looks like nothing ever happened Kyle! Nice work!
Awesome video. So much learning going on here. Winter has arrived in northern Indiana too. I stocked up on dog treats and baking supplies so it's hibernation time for me. The heat in the shop runs a lot but the dehumidifier stopped running. I had to edit this because half my post is gone. I appreciate that you explain the concept as well as the process. I can't wait until you do the escape hatch on the roof so I know how to do that. Mary is amazed and jealous of Poe's editing abilities. Well done. I'm working on making a giant keyboard for her oversized paws. Thank you so much for your time.
I hope you're going to patent that oversized keyboard! I've heard dogs take to video editing a lot faster than cats.
Last year some of my investors got a patent in the US on one of my inventions. It cost about $175.000. Now they are working on Europe. You need one in every country. We are not leaving Canada out. Mary is a fast learner but she is a bitch to work with. Joseph has no motivation.@@CarterAutoRestyling
Your tech talk with the circles- very good. And I say the same for the rest of this video. Thanks for recording it.
The Old Fashioned way, the Hard Way = Constantly Improving Skill Set. 👍👍
Truly, a great job in a very short time span.
I wish I could do it that wrong. Super nice!
I appreciate a person who can be their own critic . I watch your videos and you are as talented metal man as I ever witnessed . I compliment you young man !!!
no need to make a new roof when you are that good at metal finishing great to see this quality of work . To blend all those cuts and patches to flow like they do takes real skills i enjoy this channel a lot thank you
Old school or not, what you do is bloody amazing, absolute credit to you mate. Love watching your work. Cheers Steve
It looks nice Kyle, it also looks like it took a long time to get to this point. I don't know if I should tell you this or not, but what the hell. I emailed the Discovery Channel and recommended that they look at your TH-cam channel, to possibly offer you a show. I'm not even joking. You do amazing work, much better than some people who are on TV. Just remember the little people when you move to Hollywood.
Thanks John, but I think I'll stick to youtube, even though having my own ceement pond is tempting!
Nice work young man, more please .
The consistent width of your heat affected zones clearly shows the control you have. I see that you weld with the intent to have the fewest stops and starts possible to help limit the distortion they cause. The quality of your work is truly impressive. Thank you so much.
Absolutely agree. Its a real joy to watch a thoughtful and skilled metal worker like Carter doing his trade......knows where and why the inevitable problems occur and has the knowledge and experience and perhaps most importantly, the patience to do what's needed to take corrective measures. And the end results speak for themselves. And by the way, no need to be so self deprecating with workmanship like this! Great stuff and love this channel.
By the way, should have added to the above in saying, like the satire and comedy, and interesting and delightful choice of music as well as the editing. Keep on!
Metal finish at its finest. Great tips Kyle. 😊
Again and again you impress me Kyle.
Don't talk you down, in my opinion you are one of the best body fixers on youtube. I really mean it!
I'm truly amazed at where you've taken this old truck.
Great build on the roof. All the puzzle pieces are assembled and look great.
My guess would be that the Dream truck roof , using a gas torch , had a lot more lead in it than yours will have . I believe the cab was sectioned at Vallie Customs , yours is much better . Great work Kyle thanks for sharing ....
According to the magazine articles no lead was used when they chopped the roof on the Dream Truck. Sam Gates and Valley Custom did excellent work, even by todays standards.
With this type of meticulous metal work, very little fillers of any kind will be needed, all adding up, in my opinion, to something that will tend to be much more reliable and durable. I'm not a body person though have done prep work back in the day for painters in big shops, but I imagine that with some of the various types high-build epoxy primers and the like that exist today, that would take care of much of the minor imperfections that might need attention on a work like this.
In frames 13:48 to 14:54 at 2x speed, I clearly see the gap close between your arch template and roof as you work the “valley of shame” into its correct shape. Very impressive!
Once again Homerun! I really appreciate your hard work and sharing been 40 years since I was in autobody school, its time to bust out the vixen file and get after it. Thanks Kyle.
That was your most enjoyable video yet... I had an excellent cinnamon roll and a good cup of coffee while you were doing your little welding thingy. I've watched that other Canadian fella do these roof chops and I thought I knew all there was to know... but I'm starting to think I might have missed a few episodes. All I can say is it sure looks good from here! Your loyal viewer in a shed
Thank you for mentioning my fellow Canadian. His olde world craftsmanship is truly something to behold and we are all grateful for his contributions to the classic car community.
He's an artist.... just ask him.@@CarterAutoRestyling
Another heart warming installment to the story of a young man and his chicken truck. It almost brought a tear to my eye. I can hardly wait for next weeks exciting episode. You are moving right along, thanks.
Hahah glad you enjoyed it Paul!
Great job Kyle, I appreciate you taking us through your process
Excellent work. Glad you decided to show this method VS fabricating a new piece. Looks really good. And thank-you for answering the bracing question.
Thank you!
Thanks for the demonstration and superior music. Amazing how careful cobbling can turn junk in to perfection. Excellentness and meow, too.
Craftsmanship at its best. I love that you go the extra mile. Cheers and stay warm
The skill is reading the metal as you go….you have it 👍
Old school metal finishing …lost art great job!
Poe has a great eye for detail and good choices on background music!
I love seeing you move the metal around and make it go into place! Awesome talent for sure! I’m learning how it should go! Now for applying it, hopefully with some success!
Keeping the craftsmanship alive. Lot's of attention to detail As always a great video.
I am always amazed by your abilities working with metal!
Educational and entertaining,, 🌟🌟
Thank you ever so much Kyle,, 🙏
Impeccable metalworking skills, detailed and well explained. Nice camera work and soundtrack. Sure beats watching a gallon of filler being mixed and applied. To me, your wrong way is the right way.
I think it is good to try to do it with the "wrong way", because if it doesn't work you can still do it the "right way".
That section of roof looks incredible!
We should all approach bodywork like this. Great work!
You have a doctorate degree in metal working , master of the craft
"There's no skill or talent involved in any of this" You, my friend, are on the opposite side of the Dunning Kruger Effect than most. There absolutely is skill and talent in what you're doing!
I will admit that I wasn’t sold on this project at the start, but now I am 100% in to the build. I enjoy the tutorial, the music and the intricacies of this build. Nice of you to drop in on the CWM live the other night too. Much success Kyle! 👍💯
I like doing things my own way, I don't think there is a wrong way, as long as you get the desired result.
Another great episode of the Chicken Truck Project, you are inspiring young body men all over the world making difficult work look easy.
That looks fantastic, it will block out very nicely with primer.
You are The best metal Fabricator, I have ever seen! Its like your a watch maker for metal Fab! I love to watch you make perfection, out of Junk. Thank you, wish I just had some of your skills!
Its so refreshing to see a craftsmen at work. So often the bondo goes on before the weld puddle is cool
I'm glad you inserted your commentary on the past and trying different ways to get the same results. It does keep things interesting and sometimes you learn how to build a better mousetrap.
Thanks to the tool explanations. Love your channel and content.
i could watch you do this for hours! and please don't sell yourself short your skill level is on par with anyone I've seen. I'm glad you stuck with using the shrink disc. it took me several attempts to figure out how it really works. it is only moderately the same principle as shrinking with a torch. again great project, great craftsman!
Very satisfying to watch and I love the commentary. Coolest thing I ever seed.
When you get right down to it, we are all just imperfect circles. I think there's something in that for all of us, don't you? It's coming along splendidly!
Thanks Kyle, I'm in awe... you and the cats stay warm...
Nothing better than watching a master work his magic.
Brother, your work is AMAZING, no matter how you do it.
Awesome attention to the detail work you're doing to bring the shape and contour to that roof. Wow! You're almost to precise the average Joe isn't going to be able to notice all minor stuff. And if someone was to lay a straight edge on your work at a show or something. They should get a straight edge across the forhead. 😊 I don't see you even needing to do a skim coat on the section you did in this video.
Looks like some good metal work to me, I worked at GM and saw these files used many times by the dingmen
Great videos as usual! You almost actually sound believable when you say you suck, and your skills are normal or common. You are 1 of the best body artists I've ever seen. If you stop pretending to drag yourself under the bus every day, you'd have millions of viewers in no time
I appreciate the way you are working on this project. It give a much better idea of how it was done in the day. I just wish I was at your skill level.
I watch you often.
Kyle Carter...the modest metal master. Thanks to your explanation I have a better understanding of how metal is affected by heat and what it wants to do during and after the welding process. Creating a valley of shame or a mountain of sorrow is what my reptilian brain needed to finally get it. Thanks Kyle.
A craftsman at work-I love it!
Might be a good idea to put some adhesive sheets of sound deadner in the roof before installing the headliner. Heat, cold and noise, it will help to lower all.
I was very skeptical at first about chopping the roof with all the curves. Great job, looks factory. Thanks, your videos are encouraging.
Yup that's the plan if I ever get to that stage!
Now this was a great video ... your videos are becoming one of my most anticipated that I watch ... even though you down play your work we know better ... on to the next one ...
I appreciate the tips and the lessons in getting the truck to look like it belongs that way. The driver's side of the roof looks spot on. WOW! I'm looking forward to the next one.
Your a real craftsman , and a "Coach Builder". I love how you manage to maintain the metal thickness , your amazing . I really enjoyed your teaching . Thx
Perfect video if ever you wanted to see how much being Number one looks like. Great build Kyle
I wish I had “no skill or talent” thanks for an uplifting presentation.
Take the high road; the reason you are doing it this way, in chunks, is because you are able to re-use original metal from the original truck as much as possible. Anyone can slap together new sheet steel and make something fancy. Takes more hand-tool use to get the original metal to move where you want it or maintain some of that original fabrication. An homage to the original builders.
always a joy watching an artist at work.
You worry too much, once the vinyl roof covering is on it will look perfect 😁
On I'm doing a landau vinyl top so only the back gets covered. Haha
You have done a great job I would be proud to do as good as you do.
Great Video Kyle! The camera angle was great when you were stretching the welds out you could really see the oil canning disappear!
Some people do all their best work from behind a keyboard. Seen and heard plenty of people talk about how amazing they are but they will never talk about what they did when they learned or mistakes they make. Keep going looks like its going be a good truck.
My Dad used this "file" a lot. But with the extremely thin junk of tin that is as heavy duty as cooking foil they use on cars of today you must be extremely careful not to remove any material at all.
My Dad always used this file also after leading. He was very good and efficient making the leaded parts perfectly shaped. The way you smoothed out the welded parts was acutally kind of perfect. This brought back memories of a teacher in metal work courses that tortured us for days making things perfect. I still have those parts we built in my cellar. Spheres and all kind of weird things with very extreme curves that we were bashing endlessly and then smoothing the entire nonsense til overkill. I even hate looking at those pieces of torture but with the hundreds of hours spent making them I did not have the heart to dump them in a bin. But I think I will throw them soon.
You have a God-given talent and your modest about it.
Keep making the keyboard crusaders cry!
Truly brilliant workmanship
Hey Carter. Great work on the truck. I really enjoy watching you build it. I like the fact that you take the time to explain what you are doing. It's a good idea that you do it your way. It shows that we can do it without fancy tooling. Keep up the great videos and I'll keep supporting your channel. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
"....No skill, no talent..." My arse! Beautiful! God bless. Sorry I'm late lol.
Thanks Paul! No penalty for being late haha
Excellent work on that roof panel.
Another great video Kyle wow it turned out awesome. God bless you
truck looks great, nice work!
Great video! I really enjoyed your use of the same techniques employed by the original customers, such as Geroge Barris. The roof, literally, is coming together and the chicken truck looks promising. Thank you.
I wish I had no skill like you ! Amazing work as ever.
Great video as always! Love to see the kitties. Poe as editing professional and Allan in his Snoopy Sopwith Camel biplane looking for the Red Baron!
Thanks for the explaining.
More on sarcasm Please.😅😂😉🤔🤙🤠👍
Cool !🔩🔨🔧🔥🔩🔨🔧🔥🔩🔧🔨🔧
Personally I think there is something to be said for customizing and putting pieces of the truck back into itself. Most of us don’t have enough knowledge or equipment to scratch build a complex panel.
Man you're just pissing me off, I am getting tired of getting my ass kicked on my cab. You make this look to eazy, you are truly an artist.
You see, Blondie, there are two kinds of people in this world; those who say they can metal finish when they can't, and those who say they can't while they do it beautifully.
😂 love it!
Blondie, Tuco, Angel Eyes.
Did the Chicken Truck get its name because everyone else was too "chicken" to take on such a project? If so, then all of your projects could be labelled as "chicken". You've proven over and over that no matter what condition those vehicles are in, you can whip them back into shape with a fair amount of grunt work. I know your videos will inspire more people to rescue these gems from the crusher. I wish my Ram wasn't made of recycled paper because I would use the tips I've learned from watching your videos to tackle the holes of hopelessness that have presented themselves over the past few years.
Might I suggest more Bondo.
Excellent skills,and using 2nd hand material is fine.Most of us have limited resources,so your finishing skills are a God send to learn!
You have made the old chicken truck look like it was meant to look the detail explanation I always enjoy keeping it coming thanks 😊
Convoluted nightmare. Those would be my projects. Sounds like the title to a biography. Especially mine! That could also be a great band name. You are a master, sir. Your videos will be referenced for years to come. Cheers!
Convoluted nightmare was the name of my band in high school. I played lead triangle. Feel free to steal the name for your biography, though!
@@CarterAutoRestyling 🤣
the term 'tenacious' comes to mind
