Twin Turbo 1963 Chevy II!! Modifying the Fenders??

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- A video covering some modifications that we did to the front of the fenders to make the headlight trim fit better, align the hood better and fit the radiator better! Sometimes the path to the finish line is a little curvy :)

Someone hook Kevin up with an AC sponsorship, the man deserves to be as cool as his dad jokes.
For now.. we will jusy have to keep up the likes and comments..
KSR crew deserves A/C for sure!!!!
I sure wish I was in the position to. Id damn sure work out a deal with him on the nicest shit just to have him do something with my square body. That way I could say he had something to do with the build. So much talent. I wish I had an 1/8 of the talent and knowledge.
@@greasyryno2980 right. Hopefully our views likes and comments help get that shop a.c.. It sure would make projects like this pain in the a$$ ordeal easier. Im building a square ground up and didn't buy the top of the line panels not the worse neither. What a nightmare hanging aftermarket panels are. Feeling for the crew on this one. Never again will I go that route. I will spend the extra if ever do another build after this one.
Agreed
I'm convinced there isn't anything on a vehicle you can't fix. You're kill'in it bro. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
What can't this man do? KSR Body Shop?? Mad skills brother. Bad financial advice here but schedule that AC install, we got your back even if it came down to a gofundme!
Watching you reshape that front fender was absolutely amazing. That was straight up art work.. I’d love to have a 1/4 of the talent you have man.
We need a “get ksr an AC” merch drop
Hey Kevin love your work thanks for taking the time to film cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Yep another Aussie here watching, Rj in Oz
Another Aussie. Stuck in lockdown
Yeah lockdown in Melbourne watching to relax
Another Aussie viewer/fan
Aussie roll call! Yewww
Everything you touch turns into artwork. The work you do is absolutely amazing! Keep it up Kevin!
That AC is going to be a game changer!!
Love the comforter.......I mean fire blanket over the engine!
NICER than the one I have & sleep with.
Good Job Kevin! You are showing what real shops look like💪👍
this man is sooooo cool. I bet his daughters are so proud.
I gotta say Kevin the attention to detail you put in these cars, it's like it's your own personal build and if it's not up to your standards it's not leaving till it is. Always enjoy watching you and your guys make amazing looking and functional cars.
Another great way to start the Mondayest Monday that ever was this month.

5:33 Channelling your inner Vice Grip Garage I see... Love the content, keep it up!
Do you actually even know how cool this is to watch you do what you do man. Artist. Perfectionist. Nutshell. Hear me? 😀
Thanks Craig! Spread the word for us!!
The Lift Off Front End is going to be pretty cool.
That hard detail work will be worth it. There is a method to the madness. Seeing your past work, it should look and function better than stock. 😎 Chevy II's are a beautiful car, can't wait to see the end result. Labor of love, I respect it.
Guy spend 2.5 hours on a fender so its correct. I mean seriously. Nothing less than perfect from this shop. Goes to show how much work goes into a project such as this and the endless hours put in. Keep up the great work.
Here's your comment for the TH-cam algorithm. Your content is getting better and better.
Stuff like this separates the good from the great, amazing work once again!
WOW !!!! The experience and talent just don’t end👀👀👀 I say them headlight bezels fit pretty damn good 👌👌👌👌
Gotta love all the put together and take apart...over...and over...and over again. One thing I like about rat rods is you don't need to get as finicky on the body's
Like the smooth-jazz outro.
Another showing of your impressive fabrication skills and unbelievable patience with these things. You're a monster, Kevin! Well done!
Made that fit up look easy. Nice work Kevin!
I appreciate you showing "little things" in this case fitment of parts. Interesting to watch.
You know what’s really cool Kevin is how many ways a hood or a fender is described. That goes to show you how world wide your channel is viewed!
I wish I had an ounce of the talent this man has. Surely a gift from God
Yep for sure I’m viewing from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Wing and bonnet please !
The TRUE definition of the Master Fabricator = Kevin @ KSR
End of CONVERSATION! 🍻
Great work as always Kevin! I can appreciate being a perfectionist. The worst part about is like you said, it looks perfect like it should but only you understand how much work went into getting it to that point. You are a true craftsman. Thank you for the excellent content.
The one thing besides Kevin's skill & knowledge that seems to make these builds turn out so well is that blue painter's tape. It's everywhere.
ITS not burn in the sun
With all the mechanical work etc I’m surprised you do body work too! Very nice!
You're doing a great job Kevin!
Can't wait to see it rip at LS Fest!
As always great description
of the work being done.
Before you know it you'll
be working in a newly
installed Air condition shop.
Oh happy days.
Thought I was seeing things when the metal started growing. Can’t believe how skilled you are and I love watching these builds.
I will say one of my old bosses favorite sayings.
More work in the beginning is less work in the end..
When do you think about it makes a whole Lotta sense especially in the automotive Industry.
Great job documenting the effort it takes to get some of the "bolt on replacement" parts to actually work. I tell folks who ask that many of these parts will actually, "bolt on" but that is where it ends, and there is a heck of a lot more to making a part FIT than just bolting it on.
It is never the name of the fender company on the finished product, it is yours...
Gotta love aftermarket parts
Nice work Kevin. After market parts are a pain
Since you started this channel on TH-cam i have learned a lot so thank you
You are welcome! Glad we could help you some!
Love your videos!!!!
Good morning Kevin!
Its taking the time with the little things that separates the " It's O.K. " from the " Wow, look at that!"
Looking good, patience is amazing.
Man you're an artist.
Love modifying customer supplied components to “save time”
Good morning KSR team.
Watching you and your Precision that you do is very overwhelming I feel that you're not through with those fenders after watching all the builds that you have done and the Precision that you do great show my friend stay safe God bless👍
Super clean fitment! Beautiful as always!
never seen a fiberglass hood that fit good.
Yep, that seems to be the way with aftermarket panels - they fit where they touch! Always have to modify them in some way. Keep up the great work Kevin!
Life can be such heck when you must do things right, but others don’t share your ethic for accuracy.
Aftermarket parts, Especially body parts have always been a ass ache on anything I've been working on. Even on the antique farm tractor we restored. Stuff never fit correctly, And the few $$$ you saved wasn't worth it in the end. If factory body panels where available, Thats what we tried to get. And all of the hours of fab and fitting just show how much pride you take in your work. Keep the content coming, I look forward to your videos. They always seem to teach me something.
Kevin the perfectionist that's a lot of work buddy, But then it pays off in the end it makes the rest of your work look even better, And I don't think a body shop would be able to perform the fabrication that you're doing to make it look better the way you will.
You’re the best in the business!
Love your vids… they’re second to your mechanical brilliance and automotive fabrication artistry🙏🏽
Bless Up❣️❣️❣️
I really appreciate you showing how some of those panels don't fit.
I have seen a lot of poor pressings that we girls here (New Zealand) in the 2000's.
Some of them took an extra 8-10 hours to chop and fit
morning Kevin, that car is so cool, and ya completely busted me on the hr on the brow , LOL, yep tow steps forward to back some times
Now that you have the finished product. Have you ever considered making carbon fiber parts? Suction tables are relatively inexpensive, and if you add heat to it, you can also modify the plastic
I feel for you Kevin. Aftermarket parts can be a pain to deal with. I fuss and complain about them, but what would we do if we didn’t have that option. Good original stuff is getting hard to find. So….guess we’ll just keep on dreadin’ and fussin’ and fixin’ and movin’ forward. 👍
Great job Big Kev 👍
After market steel cowl hoods are the same way on a 68 Camaro. We had to cut the cowl panel down 1/4” to keep the hood gaps correct on 2 cars so far.
Make sure you strip off all of their "primer" before it gets painted. I have found hand prints under their primer that caused lifting in a finished paint job. Strip down to bare metal and epoxy prime
Yeah, I don’t trust part manufacturers primers or like you said about the prep. On that note I also don’t trust “booth ready” parts. If I did I definitely wouldn’t have had numerous imperfections.
KSR Performance Fabrication & 'Bodyshop'
Is there anything you can't do ??
Great video mate, cheers 🍺
I wonder if Kevin does upholstery work? Just kidding.
Eeeeewwwwww, I dislike upholstery more than I dislike bodywork....lol
Rise and grid KSR family, lets get er done 🇺🇸
What a pain in the butt, great work Kevin 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
Kevin, this build reminds me of how little front overhang that generation Nova has to work with. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship.
Yeah, we are jammed up for front to rear space for SURE!!
I’ve come across these problems before.
Often just a few taps with a rubber hammer is all that’s need to bring things into line and drilling new holes.
The hood is another matter.
It is entirely possible that it is meant for a trim ring delete. The matching glass fenders may have the trim ring moulded in.
kevin is And awesome fabricator love the contact
Awesome stuff, Kevin. I'm headed outside to finish the DIY 2 ton mini-split install in my 1250sqft garage! A bit late for summer, but it will help in the cold Maryland winters too. Don't put off that HVAC install - you and your crew will do better work faster.
When I had my 73 Z28 overhauled they ran into a similar issue (not as tough as this one) and they were explaining it to me about getting the 3 piece to fit and that it needed some work to make it fit right.
At that point I said "Sooo you want me to leave now?". We all laughed and I left.
I feel your pain because you have a deadline, I didn't. Oh yeah my fenders and facia came out great. And nobody knows like you said. 🙂. Except all the body guys mentioned how straight it is. That make me smile 😁
We need a ksr coffee brand for the days we don't have a video to get us going
Not sure about coffee, but there just might be a KSR mug available soon ;)
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication that will have to do
There’s a large opportunity for a quality repo parts manufacturer out there! 5+ hours just to get back to square one!
Interesting as always. Thank you !
Your names on it!! got to do it right!!
“Wave a foot!” 🤦🏼♂️🤣🤣
Nice fab work Kev👍
I've been thru all that sheet metal stuff working on old mustangs, any of the sheet metal you buy NEVER fits like they say it's supposed too...
It's got something to do with copyright infringement because nobody can reuse the actual stampings because of the huge cost involved to all the auto companies paying them royalties. So they make the stampings and call them direct replacements but we all know what's involved in them making them fit properly. They just don't makem like they used to.
I wish I lived close by you you really know how to troubleshoot vehicles
Really cool build and your fab skills are really impressive, Hopefully we’ll get to see that hot rod go down the track
Awesome content sir.
In the motorcycle business we call those aftermarket parts "bolt on parts" because they never do without a lot of extra work.
Nova is. Nice body
Making it look good the KSR way is awesome.
Such detail is great, you are MULTITALENTED. We are back to school. We're learning.
MAGIC!!
Seriously you guys do some beautiful work. I appreciate you uploading content. I know it's a ton of work to do the job.😎
Great content thanks for sharing
Cheers kev your a magician 👍💪💪
keep it up kevin!
Morning KRS, have a great week. Thanks for the content.
We had same problems with bad fitting aftermarket panels in the 80's here in Australia we had cheap Chinese panels trying to compete with panels from wrecking yards and we were young, broke and in experienced we had all types of problems with them not fitting well. Needless to say that company no longer supplies Panels.
Can't wait to get my KSR Merch!! almost wish I could just drive and pick it up....almost lol keep up the hard work Kevin, it's all starting to come together!
GOOD MORNING KEVIN. Maybe need another set of eyes from a seasoned BODY man. Never be afraid to ask. Just my seasoned opinion.
Another Great vid thanks kev
Very nicely done, Kevin! This is one of my favorite fabs.
Of course we know you, Travis and CJ, who are the other guys we see wandering around the shop at times?
You will meet everyone in an upcoming video ;)
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication that will be fabulous, thankyou
Have you ever considered leaning the radiator forward at the top? It may give you more options, and it creates front downforce. We do it on our super late model for the downforce alone.
Maybe doing so would reduce air flow through the radiator.
@@USARAY1947 it does create a bit more resistance because of the turn the air has to make to get through the radiator. But with proper ducting the air has no choice but to go through. The circle track cars have a duct that seals to the nose of the car and to the radiator. So any air that enters the grill is forced to go through the radiator. In two decades of asphalt short track racing we have never had a car that ran hot.
morning Kevin looks good so far
Great job on the headlights @ fenders like the content Kevin KSR !!!
What a pain hey, to have to carry out that rework, I know it has to be done, and you did it very well came out mint, never ever straight forward is it, you need A/c we need heaters...aha
I watch just for the outro music...
Morning guys! Work looks great, keep it up!
