How To Ruin a Perfectly Good Truck. Chopping up a 1953 Chevy to build a Radical Custom
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2023
- In this episode we are back working on the radical custom 1953 Chevy Truck. The plan is to cut the cab and doors in half, remove 3" of material from the width of the body and then weld it back together.

Loved the orchestral accompaniment! This dramatic sectioning requires a portentous and heraldic background, and the Mozart was perfect. Really enjoying this build.
Mozart interrupted with incessant monosyllable droning is the pinnacle of audio dyslexia. 🙉

You're a master Craftsman not an idiot!!
Beautiful music 😀!!!
Perhaps a little "Barber of Seville" would be appropriate...
The lengths you'll go to for a joke....removing your laces. Excellent. Great choice of music btw
Anything for a cheap laugh!
Hey Kyle, thanks for the classical music!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I like the classical music interludes. Thank you for sharing what you do.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Very nice musical score added. Bravo
Thank you!
That door technique is magical
This is quite an ambitious project. You gotta love people who can't do what you do feel they know enough to criticize what you do.
It's easy to be critical until they're standing in front of a job with tools in their hands haha. Still a lot of people watching have had great ideas so it's not all bad!
The way that went together was nothing short of amazing your a real master of metal.
Your Rant on Idiocy and their reactions due to their inability to simply pay attention and process the information given in totality is spot on.
Carter's Hair Styling really went all out this week...even a reference to Fred Dibnah and some BBC quality classical music. The fender extension looked great. It will be interesting to see how that has to be cut to make the door open and close.
Thanks! It's definitely going to be a challenge to make the doors work, but I wouldn't be doing it if it was easy!
You and Halfass are by a large margin my favorite channels. You guys are actually building stuff; using your imagination and skill in equal parts. What fun to watch!
The Canadians have everything I want to see on TH-cam. Carter, HalfAss, Fitzees Fab, Make It Kustom, Cold War Motors, Wild West Garage . Keep up the great content eh.
@@andrewreece3861 I watch all these guys and one more...Bennetts Customs out of Australia. Another young guy like Kyle with terrific skills and fabrication knowledge. And Jordan from Bennetts Customs is also originally from Canada.
Well. There's no turnin' back now!
I find it interesting that while you and Brent (Halfass Kustoms) are doing similar projects, the approach and execution are completely different. Thanks, Kyle, for sharing this with us!
Kyle, what a satisfying episode! It's clear you were pleased with the result of the doors--me too! I think you are onto something with the classical music--we are watching the creation of art, the music seemed appropriate. What you need is a helper, an Igor who can offer a third hand or help move cumbersome objects. Ideally it would be a teenager who hates school and was interested in the project. Fifty years ago such a kid would be available but they have all been lost now. If I lived closer I might volunteer.
Having an Igor would definitely add a lot to the show! Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and vision.
I am only commenting because I want to see this continue. Nice work, fun and inspiring to watch.
Thanks! I'll keep at it for as long as I'm able to!
You're too good of a bodyman to worry me. I haven't even watched half yet, and i know it'll be perfect to me and soso to you.more classical tunes, bravo.
Wow! I was stunned how clever your aproach to this chopping was! Fascinating! I would have been so incredibly dumb that it did not even enter my tiny brain that you do not have to cut the doorskin in the middle and then spending weeks to get all the warping out of the panel.
By the way, I loved the soundtrack! I am a barbarian and I thought it might have been Beethoven.
Me too.
Me three
I stunned myself too haha! Normally I'm quite proficient at making a ton of unnecessary work for myself!
Couldn’t find any rock n roll!
Absolutely amazing. Thanks again for sharing
Intertaining!
Impressive!
Intriguing!
Instructional! Now accompanied by all sorts of cool early Germanic Punky Rock n Roll,, 💖❤🔥😎🤘👍
Thank you ever so much for your time and work it takes, to share this project Maestro,, ☀🌟💖🙏💖🌟☀
" I'm liking it; this is fun!" Kyle I am as previously stated, well into my 70's and spent 50 years in heavy equipment and diesel mechanics, Over the past years since retirement, I have admired the skills of metal workers, body men, panel beaters and restorers. Here you are in your early 30's, doing things I can only dream about and regret the trade choice I made, but that's how life goes. It is all about passion and learning and you have both in abundance! Your shop is like my shed looks as I restore old open wheel Aussie TQ's and Formula 500 speed cars (midgets). I love watching your work and listening to and how you simply pass on your knowledge and skills to us, the unknowing, This post on how you analysed, measured and went about sectioning the body, was something I never knew how to do and the match up after the cut, was damn near perfect! Sincerely, thank you for doing and posting these.
Thanks for the kind words Brian! I appreciate you taking the time to watch these videos!
This is a very cool project! Great job.
The paper mock-up on the fade away really brought the vision to life. What a cool ride this is going to be. I hope the videos do GREAT for your sake and ours! I want to see this finished!
You may want to look at 46 - 48 Chevy cars as they had that type of swoop on the sides. It will give you an idea on how to work the front door swing and pivot clearance.
Your choice of music-fantastic! During college, I studied for many hours while listening to various pieces of classical music and I still play it for my students during testing and reading moments. Cats like it too! Love the project and especially the technique.✌🏻
Thank you! Classical music is the only music that my cats seem to enjoy
How exciting. ❤❤❤.
I’m scratching my head, thinking about the fade away fenders and how the doors will open!!!!?????? Can’t wait to see it evolve into something very special!
Man I love watching your videos. Time lapse and right to the point. So much accomplished in one video. Very impressive and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
I'm unreasonably excited to watch this come together. The Buick bezels and fadeaway are a great design choice! Looking forward to see how you handle the rear bodywork and lowering. I hadn't seen that custom '53 Olds before, that really would've made an indelible impression on me. Cheers!
The sectioning work you're doing to that truck is analogous to the massive reconstructive surgery I'm getting done to my face in twelve weeks to reshape my forehead, nose, cheeks, chin and jaw. Which sorta makes me Big Bird 😂
I stopped 28 min into this video to say this as viewers and most of us old car and truck guys we should get this guy over a 100k subs. Why look at what he does with the same stuff we have in our garage I mean no disrespect to the guys who have all the trick stuff but Kyle fixes the metal with metal when possible and that is what most of us are trying to do I admit none of my body work is going to finish with high build and a block but watching him helps us understand how to fix what we have. I'll mind my own business love your work Kyle.
Thanks Mark!
I’m a particular fan of the mention of the Fred Dibnah technique. As much as he hated the demolition of things that he dedicated his life to the maintenance and repair of, he had a particularly personal way of putting them on the ground.
Very well said! He was an inspirational character!
For the first time in history Carter Auto Restyling has been able to POLISH A TURD! A genius that will go down history, maybe Nobel Prize?
Going back a watching older videos and having a great time.
What a great project. I was on the fence at the start, but now I can’t wait to get next week’s update. Some of my favorite channels seem to grow more slowly, and I’m not sure why. Great content every week. Big 👍
Good job! Almost ready for paint.
Awesome 👍 looks like you are having fun, while creating something different for you to enjoy, not just for a customer 🙂
Bravo! magnificent! Take a bow. The classical music brought me back to watching Saturday morning cartoons as a kid. You are quite skilled and I enjoy watching. Looking forward to the next one.
The paper mock up definitely gives that “possible end result” look. I expected the sectioning was gonna be way worse
It's great that now other folk with rusty door bottoms can just go ahead and do a simple 3 inch full body section, happy days!
I think this was your best video yet Kyle, can't wait to see your chop!
Thank you Bill! I'm looking forward to the chop too!
Cool project and impressive progress.
When you said 'Intermission' my mind went right to 'The Holy Grail'....
The period correct approach using various GM parts/pieces for this Kustom is something I totally agree with.
Anyone with deep pockets can put a 'bellybutton' ride together by simply ordering a ton of parts and bolting them together.
In my opinion.... it takes a heck of a lot more talent, imagination, and craftsmanship to build what you are doing WITHOUT spending 10's of thousands of dollars.
Keep up the great work!!!
Showing great promise, Kyle. Love the fadeaways. Top marks for the Fred Dibnah mention too! All the best, Mart.
Thanks Mart! I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a Fred Dibnah mention!
Great work! Thank you for the mockup so I have a more complete idea of your vision. Looking forward to seeing this project as it gorws, loved the classical music too. Thanks.
I like the way you did the doors. Makes more sense than cutting the door in half.
Listening to Mozart while watching other people work is a great way to spend a Saturday. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁
Really liking the build, the quality, commentary and now that your a reaching a big time TH-camr, we no longer have to insert our own music 👍🏻
Haha thank you!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, looking beautiful!!!
Well let me tell you that you are one of the most brilliant idiots I've ever seen and a heck of a teacher, thank you for your videos, I've always had a dry sense of humor too, so keep it coming I truly enjoy your program, Even though I'm a Ford guy I'll keep on watching 😂 by the way my first truck was a 49 5 window,
Thanks! I like old Fords too, but the Chevys keep finding me!
Bad chad could learn a lot about metal work from Kyle !
Love it when Creative Kyle gets out to play! Brilliant work, cheers dude!
Nice to see you doing some custom work and with an explanation of how it’s done. That cab section was just done so beautifully, that was a step back in time to old school custom work. Two things Gene Winfield says every day is a school day because you’re always learning, and no school like the old school. Now it makes sense why seeing cars section and the cut out areas were in different places. They were looking for the top of the crown on the panel, your plumb line was a good demonstration. I really loved this video, thanks. Later
Thank you! I definitely look up to Gene Winfield, he is a hero!
Way to go Kyle...Like it or lump it! Take it or leave it. I like it.
Great job! I really like the idea of cutting down the inside of the door and just wrapping the door skin around the bottom. The musical accompaniment is perfect.
The best sectioning video I've ever seen, your attention to detail is great, nice work - keep up the good work.
Thank you, I'll try!
I'm enjoying this build very much! It's so cool to see a full custom evolve right before our eyes! Thank you!
I enjoyed the music, and the sectioning of the doors. If you are thinking about a small front bumper, a 1967, or 1968 Camaro rear bumper might work.
Yeah I do like the look of the thin Camaro bumpers, but they are about 10+ years too new for the era I'm after, so I'll have to do things the hard way!
Very nice precision work, well thought out prior to cutting. It is nice to see there are still master metalworkers.
Pretty slick how you sectioned the doors. Eliminated the horizontal splice through the middle! Well done!😊
I am still enjoying each installment of the chicken truck.I think your going to have to start paying your cat band there getting better every week thanks please keep the quality content coming 😊
Nice video Kyle.
Looking forward to seeing more on this project.
All the best!
The music was perfect. I much enjoyed watching the video. Thank you.
Thanks!
Bravo,to your entire production crew, writers, producers,cinematographers, lighting directors,editors, co-stars, oh and you do ok body work.
Indeed great production value, but felt the cat content was really lacking
@@davidson98236 Agree.
My wife and I tune in to your show regularly. Don't think we've missed any since you began. You are a true artist with a rare talent and patience to accomplish the most refined metal work. Spectacular and stunning ro watch the transformations you've done with things many people would just toss. I worked for a short while as a kid doing prep work for a painter at a large Ford dealership way back when, a job that was short lived. Can't tell you how much slap-dashery and just plain old shoddy work I saw. Any way, carry on. Love your show and your talent.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching the show!
It's crazy how easy you make this complex task look. :)
After watching another well know bad Canadian custom builder's videos I gotta say your skill and craftsmanship is head and shoulders above his. Love watching your work. Keep it up.
Haha thank you!
Love this project concept. Can't wait see how it progresses.
Nice! Stay with this! I Love watching what you do!
i enjoyed this video i like the music and love this kind of fabrication mock up was great it's going to look awesome can't wait
I can’t believe how much work you got done in this video! The visual, even though it was tape and paper, was great. This is easily my favourite building of yours and my favourite build on TH-cam right now.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying this project!
For never doing this before…you sure couldn’t tell. Looked like you had been doing this for years. Amazing work!
Man you’re moving right along! This thing is gonna be killer!!!!
Fantastic video once again.
Really enjoyed the classical music you chose for it.
Great idea. Love the bodywork.
This is really a fun project for me to watch. Keep up the amazing work!!
Love the project, this is going to be a cool truck.You are the MAN!
I am not a rodder or customizer, but I admit I am quit enjoying what you are doing. My Dad who passed away awhile ago WAS an old school customizer, and he would have loved to follow along with your project for sure!
I can’t give you to much grief on this episode 😞😞😞 , it was really interesting, well done ! Maybe next week 😅😅 ❤
I'll be looking forward to getting some grief next week!
Years ago I had a '55 1st series. Someone used a chisel to make a hatch in the bottom of both doors. It never occurred to me that it was to get at those stupid bolts. Thanks for solving that mystery 👍
Haha yeah I just saw a truck in the wrecking yard yesterday with the same treatment!
The classical music for the time lapse montages is PERFECT. I enjoy you videos for the metal working and humour, but it’s also fun to watch you improve as a content creator. You hit it out of the park today.
Thank you!
This will be cool. Can’t wait to see it take shape.
Keep up the great work! No one is even close to building anything like this!you are for sure a new sSam Barris!
Bloody brilliant! Im loving this build 🤩, so ambitious!
I would just say that now I understand why did you abandon those other doors. I just wanted to say that this is a very interesting content. Good luck with the rest of the project.
Some people have selective hearing. Ignorance is bliss and there are a lot of happy people out there. I prefer to listen, watch and learn. You have excellent skills. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thanks Gary!
What a great project. It is really fascinating to see the evolution of this one of a kind truck. Taking something that most people would discard and turning it into a very KOOL ride.
Very nice work, I was a collision repairman for 40 years, you’re very talented man.
Thank you!
i love the sectioning u are doing on this!!! i am old school completely on these old cars and trucks Your ideas and craftsmanship are truly great!!! And also thanks for all the videos.
Thank you!
Nevermind watching Wray Schielin, I'm now into Fred Dibnah. Never heard of him.... Thank you sir for letting me see a sectioning and introducing me to Fred. Cant wait till the Chicken trucks done...👍👍👍
I freaking LOVE the way you did the doors! So cool.
You're making me want to try doing things I'm not qualified for.
Haha thanks, you should definitely give it a try!
Everyone else gave you all the accolades I wished to express. I will just say great job and I can’t wait for the next episode and final product. Wish I was there for moral support and to be a gopher.
You and Brent half ass kustoms are both very gifted what you guys can do with metal hardly buying any premade panels but making your own great job to both of you enjoy watching you both creating something very special
Thanks! I enjoy his channel too!
Really digging the chicken truck, will be cool to see it come together.
Can't wait to see finished truck. ❤👍✌️cheers from 🇺🇲.
Terrific work! Never knew about section smarts, where to cut for minimal hassle.
I had a copy of the book featuring the Chevy section job .I think that's why I never tried to section anything . The complexity of the outside was a big enough thing to think about ,but it also included the firewall,trunk wall radiator supports fender openings etc etc .
Oh yeah, the firewall and all the other loose ends is where the job gets difficult and tedious!
what a great project. and the tips for doing this kind of body is invaluable. cant wait for the chop! great job Kyle. could watch you do ur thang for hours!
Thanks, I'm looking forward to it too!
Hi Kyle , really enjoyed the experience of watching you work the chop of the cab , that was brilliant and the working out of the doors was magic. Just loved the reference to our fred (dibna ) who was a northern (England) legend . Hard working and a bit of a character who knew his stuff and was very learned and never talked about a subject unless he could tell you everything you needed to know . Sadly missed in this world amongst some of the bullshit that is bantered about by so called experts . I'll send you a new coat when I find the right size for you in the local charity shop.....LOL ❤. From the UK.
Thanks Tony! The world could use more people like Fred!
I absolutely loved the Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fudd score lol.i think this project is absolutely amazing, thank you! Very much for all your hard work!
Good to see you expanding what is left of your mind, by shrinking what is left of the cab.
Hey Kyle, I get similar comments about "at least you fell on your head so, no harm done". The cars, especially GM, of the late forties - early fifties were some of the best pieces of art. Wonderful to look at. Wish you were closer cause I'd come over just to sweep your floors to learn more! Thanks
Brilliant approach with the door skins and detaching them, cutting the section from the middle of door frame then re-attaching the skin so that the excess outer metal ends up at the bottom. No big cut and weld across the exterior panel.
The Mozart accompaniment to the time lapse was perfect.
Wow what you do is amazing.
Thanks!
