Hi Karl ! I feel like I'm taking a college course in body work, with a great teacher. I am 73, and have done collision repair my whole life, and still love to play with it, so its nice to learn new stuff. Thanks, keep it up, I'll be watching.
@@MortskeRepair I think we follow many of the same vids. I watch Mortske, Coldwar, Halfass. Puddin and I'm going to watch this one too. There are lots out there, but not many that will show the true success, failure and frustrations. I won't watch the channels that are only a mouthpiece for sponsors.
I like the fast motion because no one has the patience to watch every move but I would like there to be a time clock in the bottom corner, showing how much time it’s really taking you lets people know it’s not just magic and how much time it really takes to really do these kind of jobs are also thanks a lot for taking the time to do the videos that’s not as easy as people think either
"It doesn't matter if anyone else notices" as long as you know it's there, it matters. Those are some really great lines, thanks for showing the techniques, skills, necessary to make this project beautiful, someone is inheriting a lot of fine work!
I've had a lot of Hotrods and Muscle cars in my time but I would like to add another to my list of 55 Chevy's including a Nomad to do a 4 door conversion, using your technique... YOU rock!!!
Shout out to the camera work, sound and editing !!! Capturing everything perfectly, really easy to watch format. And great camera angles, fast forwarding when appropriate so its super easy to watch every second of the videos.
Much appreciated I will pass it on to my wife who does all the video editing and thumbnails she’s really getting the swing of things! She doesn’t watch TH-cam often and until this has never edited videos before!
It was a very cool build . would have liked to see it Finished but the Lincoln is coming along nice . hope to see more video s on it soon. Love you're workmen ship . as well as teaching us beginning how to .thank you Karl.
It is a joy to watch a skilled sheet metal worker that can build his own and not just order the panels with a computer. What you are doing is a dying art because you have to work hard to make it work and look good too.
Wow. You do very good work. The planning process, adjustments, refinements and execution = great outcome that mirrors the original look. Great idea with the 10 gauge on the pillar side out, very smart. I appreciate your craftsmanship brother. Metal artist to say the least, with years to continue growing and refining and experimenting awaits you. Sky is the limit my friend. I would love to just help in a shop like yours, for free! Just to learn and soak up the processes. Very fun but taxing work, I know, but I am sure, based on your work, you truly enjoy what you do. Can't ask for more than that. Keep it up and keep that focus, cant wait to see more. Do another trifive!! I am in the market for a project for my 12 year old son and I to restore to a 60's era, hot rod myself, and seeing the work done to them, regardless of the rot, is so rewarding. Watching you gives me confidence and my boy and I will accomplish our goal. May take 6 years to do, as the goal is to complete it by his high school graduation, but time invested is part of the journey. Thank you for sharing the channel. Blood, sweat, tears and Gears, Rich.
your utube show make it custom and haff ass garage are the best evergood day johnny blaze from florida i will keep on watching you guys my wife watching to
Ha ha I wish I could go full blast but there are so many projects that need attention we are going to have to do a little bit of hopping around. Thanks for being here cheers!
You’re understanding of the material you are working with is awesome, I just love this format that enables me to watch a pro. Also shoutout for the video worth being done, I’m sure getting those angles so we can see is far from easy
When making patterns a method that occasionally helps is to make a series of slices an inch apart or so made perpendicular to the wheel well arch which allows you to push and fold the pieces in the corner and get yourself in the ballpark very quickly. Well that's a save a sentence or two sentence.
A roll of red rosin paper from HD is really easy to use for templates because you can just push it into where you want it to go with a puddyvknife or chisel and then cut it wit a utility knife.
He does quality work but I always found it more rewarding to do something different. I built a 55 bel-air and could've converted it to a 2 door and drop in a V-8 but I decided to keep it a 4 door, widened the wheel wells, put in a turbo 292 I- 6 and 4 speed. I improved the brakes and suspension and put modern day aggressive tires on d window rims
That’s awesome Joseph I love the way that you built your car it’s definitely you! That’s the great thing about this industry is everybody has the freedom to do vehicles however they like. Wouldn’t it be boring if we all made a four-door 292 four-speed car like yours!? Custom is cool because it’s unique to the builder
Nice to watch someone with such a high level of skill. Having someone to shoot your video for you is also a big plus. I really like the tri5 stuff... especially the 4 door conversions. I look forward to seeing your next video.🙂
So that's how you Snagged the Zephyr?! 🤔 I could see that ..like how you solidified the inner quarters and built up those jambs to match for a good seal when the new owner Gets that Gasser. Nice work Karl as usual
Great Video. I like how you did the door jam area,and I like that you take time to show it up close finished. Other guys fly by with the camera,and its hard to study what they did.
Thanks man! I'm super stoked for this build. This car has been on my bucket list since I saw my first Zephyr! I still can't believe this deal is even happening!
Thanks man! Still unsure which direction we want to take things with finding a new shop, but we're picking up the Zephyr this weekend and we're going to get to it right away! Hopefully we'll find the right location for us soon!
Thank you so much! We wish we did this sooner too but to be honest we would not have been ready. We’ve learned so much recently and are putting everything we know into these videos we hope to just get better over time
New sub. Ive only seen the two parts of this build but from what I’ve seen the channel is going to sky rocket. Good work man, looking forward to catching up on the rest of your projects.
My 55 chevy 150 two door wagon had two large holes rotted out in the section between the rear door jamb and the wheelwell. I cut sections from the lower foreward portion of a 60 thru 66 Chevy or GMC fleetside bed. It is almost a perfect fit. Took very little work to fit it on. Just thought I would pass the info along. It might be a help on a conversion. Only works on a 55 the 56 and 57 are different.
Have you ever considered a ceiling link for your English wheel? I noticed the upper wheel moving a bit in Part 1. A 2x4 in a panic or a proper one out of something weldable can really up your available wheel pressure. My first English wheel didn't have a backbone. A sawmill overhead was enough.
My new favorite channel on TH-cam. You have some mad skills, young man.
Thank man that means a lot !
Literally what I scrolled down to write word for word! Except young man because we're the same age, probably lol.
What he said :)

Halfass Kustoms gave you a shout out and glad he did! Will be following this project thanks for the great video
That's how i got here too.
@@philipdecatanzaro1822 Make it 3 of us!

Awesome, thank you! Welcome to the channel!
Thanks for checking us out!
If you don't already know it, your metal skills are Second to None !!... Welding,no Bondo. What an Art!! ..My new favorite channel..
I keep coming back to these two videos as guidance for my own 55, thank you so much!
Love this type of shit. Love your techniques, teaching and Christine's video mix and music.
Skillz, best 2 door conversion I have seen on youtube
Send my compliments to your cameraman, she does a professional job. She helps make your work look great 👍
Absolutely I’ll pass it on!
I sure do enjoy watching you make it custom. Nice Work ! 😊
So talented... You make everything you do look easy. My favorite channel. Keep up your great work 👍👍👍
That chevy came up awesome. You do awesome work. true craftsmanship .
Beautiful work! Amazing what you accomplished. I would say you have extraordinary skills. Pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the Zephyr.
Thanks very much man! The zephyr is going to be a fun time for sure!
The 29 Ford trucks and the 55 Chevy are 2 of my favorite vehicles
Very nice work. I'm sure the customer will be happy! Brent sent me too.
Welcome to the channel! This one was a personal project I have recently sold to fund the next big undertaking!
Morning Karl!! as I mentioned in part 1, great job!!!! Be safe, God Bless!!

Again, awesome job. The new owner is a lucky guy.
Thanks Brad!
Karl I like how you explain in detail the way you do your work. Your my favorite youtube channel. I can’t wait for the next project.👍👍👍👍☺️☺️☺️
Thanks so much Roger I’m glad that you love the channel that much! Can’t wait to get back on our car projects
Karl, I've only just seen this 2 parter. Congrats, its amazing. Absolutely love it, Joe
Extremely talented young man. A pleasure to watch your relaxing approach. Thank you.
I would've loved to see you complete this. But the new project has an infinitely cooler factor!
Yeah I would’ve loved to complete it too but thankfully it went to a friend so I’ll be able to see it finished!
You are the first person I've seen finishing your welds with a orbital sander. THANK YOU!!!! My ocd can rest now. 👌👌.
Ha ha it’s the only way it’s like the magic eraser it makes everything look nice
Your doing it the correct way just like the high end shops do. Your an excellent fabricator.
By far the best 2 door conversion I’ve seen so far.
Like that prototype planishing hammer!
Thanks man!

Thank you!
This young man is absolutely amazing 😎😎
Again...Looks Great! I'm sure the New Owner will be Thrilled! It would be Cool to see how the owner finishes the Car?

@@MakeItKustom Both of you have super impressive talent.
As always, an absolute masterclass! Very nice dude.
New favorite channel, excellent metal fabrication.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing how to convert to a 2 door!
You certainly mastered the art of bead rolling dude looks the Dogs nuts 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks karl 👊
It was a very cool build . would have liked to see it Finished but the Lincoln is coming along nice . hope to see more video s on it soon. Love you're workmen ship . as well as teaching us beginning how to .thank you Karl.
great video, the way you metal finish welds with no filler just amazes me
It is a joy to watch a skilled sheet metal worker that can build his own and not just order the panels with a computer. What you are doing is a dying art because you have to work hard to make it work and look good too.
Thanks so much man I appreciate your feedback and support! I love this craft
Halfass Kustoms said to come take a look.Looks good so I subscribed

You are an incredible craftsman, Sir!
Thank you very much!
Killer 55.. I hope you go full blast on the Zeph! I want to see that start to finish..and GO!!
Ha ha I wish I could go full blast but there are so many projects that need attention we are going to have to do a little bit of hopping around. Thanks for being here cheers!
Amazing workmanship buddy !!!!!!!
Awsome as always love the 55 body style .

Thanks a lot Kevin I appreciate it!
Nice work again bro
This is going to help me with a buick I'm doing a 2 door conversion on
Keep hammering!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Very impressive metal working skills!
Thank you!

Well that's a save a sentence or two sentence.
that was most enjoyable, very impressive work!
great work , this channel should explode with the Lincoln project , awesome content .
Thanks so much man! We’ll see how it goes, it’s a mixed bag with people being stoked and others being extremely pissed hahah
Man, you do some SWEET metal work!!!!! I'm in Calgary, but if I ever get the chance to see you at your shop I'm in!!!
A roll of red rosin paper from HD is really easy to use for templates because you can just push it into where you want it to go with a puddyvknife or chisel and then cut it wit a utility knife.
This came together beautifully
Thanks a lot man!
You are a brilliant craftsman.
Thank you so much Mike!
Freakin' awesome. You have so much knowledge, talent, and patience.
Thanks a lot man!
Thanks,love you video’s . Keep doing what you’re! God Bless!!!
This is awesome. As a young guy building his first hot rod this is a great way to learn. Wish I could shadow you for a week!

Picasso welder you are a true artist bro badass welder badass skills badass artists
Ha ha thanks a lot Sammy! I like to think customizing is a artform to

Crazy fabrication skills. I want to make our 55 chevy this style, luckily it's already a two-door
Thanks man! Perfect! You're already half way there compared to this one haha! Gassers are wicked, you should definitely do it!
Great job man, very professional.
Thank you very much!
Another awesome episode, sorry to see this one go, but totally stoked for the Zephyr build 🤟🏻
Thanks Colin! It's going to a buddy of ours who will continue building it, so we'll still see it around and we'll share updates!
Awesome work, thanks for the great video!

Nice job bro. Im stupid excited for the Zephyr project. Thats definitely a custom car guys bucket list.. 1937-40.... can't wait to seenwhat you do..
Thanks man! I'm super stoked for this build. This car has been on my bucket list since I saw my first Zephyr! I still can't believe this deal is even happening!
Love the pattern making with the cardboard, I think I could use that technique for fitting my cabinets in old remodels👍
Sometimes the simplest tricks make the biggest difference!
Very nice metal work!
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Cannot wait to see the new shop and Zephyr. Great video!
Thanks man! Still unsure which direction we want to take things with finding a new shop, but we're picking up the Zephyr this weekend and we're going to get to it right away! Hopefully we'll find the right location for us soon!
Love that hammer it’s a great tool to have! This build is epic!
Thanks man it really helps in these situations
@@MakeItKustom I bet it’s added to my tool wish list…
New sub, I dont even work on cars, but I appreciate an artist, well done!!
