Repairing a Cracked Fender on a Classic Car or Truck

- In this video I will be showing how I repaired the cracked fender on my 1936 Chevy Truck. This fender had been poorly repaired in the past making the repair more time consuming. In a future video I will show how I repair simple cracks with a mig welder.

Your not really a body man, your information and skills are limited. I've never loaded on the hardner to the body filler, all this will do is make your filler brittle.
But you would still use filler to fix a cracked fender?
@@CarterAutoRestyling , No, filler will crack. I would weld a patch in and metal finish and use a very thin coat of filler.
@@dennislea3159 ok good to know, thanks! I'll give that a try.
you need to watch the WHOLE video and open up your sense of humor....the man knows how to fabricate and metal finish..........
@@flatbeavergarage7692 he doesn’t seem to know how metal reacts when heated (ie: welded)
Thanks for your time I learn something every video and I'm 71 years young!
That's great!
Your body working skill is artistry and your humor is drier than a James Bond martini. Thanks
Thank you!
COLD WAR MOTORS sent me. can't wait to see all the goodness this Channel has
Scott sent me! He was right, you do great work.
CWM sent me here
Looks good.
I'm among the Riffraff that Coldwarmotors sent. I can see immediately why Scott enjoys the channel so much.
Oh yeah I'm a little overwhelmed with the Riffraff, thanks for stopping by!
After Scott mentioned about your channel,when I was looking for something to watch,your channel was in my youtube recomendations, so I tried it, and I liked it.Good show old boy!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
What a gem of a channel 👏 Scott from Cold War Motors sent me over.. Now subscribed 👍
Perfection!
Scott wasn’t fibbing-this channel is legit! The fiberglass bit was a ripper-lmao! ✌🏻
Adding all these alternative repair options sure brings the smart guys out of the woodwork sure makes for some fun comment reading! 😆 Thanks for the great repairs as per usual. 😎👍
Always happy to provide alternative repair options for anyone feeling adventurous haha
Excellent job on repairing the 36 Chevy fender. I really like how your repairs come out looking like there never was any damage.
Coldwar motors sent me here cheers from the UK
The subtle hand slide and the "thumbs up" after you punched a hole into the fiberglass cracked me up.
Really nice work man! Had me in stitches with the filler and tape, and "always use cardboard to get those oils into the filler to help paint adhesion" hahahahahah awesome!
Glad you got a laugh out of the bogus repair haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling what’s even more hilarious is that anyone took that part serious. Really awesome work and it takes a ton of patience and time to work a panel to that level.
Dry humor and the fiberglass repair, hilarious. Channel is great. Keep it coming.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad that you are enjoying it!
I was in Vietnam in 1969, my uncle wrote me about an old truck near his house for 400 dollars. In 1971 we decommissioned lst 1082 in Bremerton ,WA. Flew to l a drove the 1936 Chevy pu to Washington, then in September 71 I drove it home to PA. Just sold it a few years ago. Now it's in Vegas. Your doing good 👍 work.
Hi Joe! That's a great story, thanks for stopping by and sharing it with us, and thank you for the kind words!
Scot at CWM sent me , I'll be checking you out .
Coldwarmotors told me about your channel 👍
Cold War Motors brought me here - new Subscriber here!
Thanks, that's very kind of you!
Fender looks gorgeous!
The filler gag was fabulous!
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Yes Scott was right to give you a plug. Excellent craftsmanship. Enjoyed your humour.
What you call "very crudly patched in" is much better than what most professionals are able to archieve!
haha well I try to remain as unprofessional as possible! Thank you for your support!
Cold War Motors sent me over he was right awesome work 👍👍👍👍
call yourself a professional because that's what you are ! thank you for the videos
Thanks, but I'm still learning!
love your dry sense of humor. I wonder how many folks dropped of from watching when you smeared on the bondo. I was howling at the hammer test
Haha it scared off a few for sure, I thought showing the finished product at the start of the video would make it obvious! Oh well, as they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Thanks for watching!
Good point about the hardener. As a rule of thumb, I'll take the label's recommended ratio and reverse it as a starting point. I usually go with as much hardener as possible, with as little filler as possible. For those fancier jobs that demand only the best, I'll use only hardener and no filler so I can say with all honesty that I didnt use any filler at all. My instructors at the Bondo Reformatory for Boys always taught that you fill with hardener, you don't harden with filler. 😂
People who don't watch the whole video won't get your humor and will miss the fact you're a master metal fabricator and finisher.
That is REAL bodywork. Awesome job.
You had me going with the duct tape and bondo. Good one.
Scott sent me over.
Haha glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by!
the master of deadpan he is. had me going too. us Scott fans must be gullible!
Came over from Scott i can see why he gave you a shout out......Great repair.............
Thanks and welcome
Cold War motors brought me here 👍
Me too
Thanks! Not sure why he chose to endorse this crap, but I appreciate you taking the time to check it out!
And just as i’d flattered so you hit me with the short strand fiber glass repair… err I was so disappointed, you had me there 😂 wot a larf!
Came over here at the recommendation of Cold War Motors. Love the content and the conviction displayed, especially the dedication to fibreglass repair methods...
Oh yeah I'm a big fan of doing questionable repairs here haha!
You freaked me out with the glass, I knew you couldn't be serious, you did a fantastic job on the correct way of doing it 👏 👍
Thanks! I'm not sure if it's the correct way, but it works for me haha.
You had me with the filler! I applaud your sense of humor.
Glad you enjoyed it haha!
Great metal working video !
Recommended by Cold War so subbed . Smart work
Thank you Cold War Motors for alerting me as to this channel, first time and it’s very good interesting content.
WOW, WOW!!!! Thank You for your nice metal working film making.
Thank you! I appreciate your support!
The king of dry humor! I have not yet seen a metal worker with this style of humor! I am watching you put in that resin, and I am thinking -- 'What the Hell? What is he doing? He doesn't do this! But then -- ah. More dry humor. Gotta get ready for this guy! So you are in the same group with RAC Garage and Trev's Blog -- high end metal only to a pretty smooth finish, with little filler required.
Thanks haha. I enjoy RAC and Trev's too!
Funny guy, with great talent and patience. And Canadian too eh!
Well the talent part is questionable haha. Thanks!
Another Scott transplant, you do damn fine work! Subbed, cheers from the States.
Another one coming over from CWM, will probably binge watch all your videos tomorrow. All the best from NS.
Hi Jay. Thanks for the support! I wouldn't reccomend wasting your time watching the earlier stuff haha. The production quality is non existant. I got a new camera recently and am trying to get better at editing, but it's a steep learning curve haha!
I found one I missed. Hope things are fine with you and the kitty cats. Thank you for your time.
Oh doing well, finally almost caught up and ready to make videos again. The cats say hi to Joseph and Mary
@@CarterAutoRestyling cool beans man😎. The hounds say hi back.
You got me with the filler! I was confused thinking this was going to be it, which didn’t seem to be your skill level, but more like my skill level. Happily, your quirky sense of humour got me! Love it! Glad you did weld some metal in place! The repair is amazing! Love seeing repairs that require little to no filler! Impressive and entertaining, Kyle.
Enjoying watching the channel, and I have subbed. Scott sent me...
I knew this was going to be an involved process, plenty of shaping and care, or in simple terms skill is needed. I thought you sold yourself short at times. Though I have not done any metal work for maybe 60 years, I enjoyed watching you turn a wreaked item back into a smooth, flowing shape once more. Thank you for a walks down memory lane in more ways than one.
Thank you Richard for the nice comment! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Scott from CWM said I better subscribe -- and I'm glad I did! Incredible metalwork! I'm just glad he didn't shake me down for my lunch money!
Haha he dramatically upsold this channel, but I appreciate you stopping by to check it out!
Another informative video with awesome results . Would like to hang with you for a day just to watch you work . The more I see of your videos the more this old dog learns . Again thank you for the awesome and informative videos !!!
Thanks Doug! Most of my time is spent looking for tools and struggling so the videos are a much more effective and efficient way of learning haha
Learned about you from Cold War Motors. Count me in as a subscriber! I'm an old retired body/frame/suspension guy from Iowa, USA.
Very cool! I always enjoy hearing from the old school body guys, I'm young and still have a lot to learn!
I fell for it. I was even getting pissed at Scott for sending me here. Now I am a subscriber. Good sound editing. Great work.
Thank you. Haha yes it seems a lot of people fell for it and quit watching as soon as the bondo came out! I suspect Scott is catching some flak from angry people and is now regretting trying to plug my channel hahah! Thanks for sticking it out and watching to the end, I appreciate your support!
Hi !
I won't kidnapped you to help me with my chevrolet 1937 .
You are the best!!!
Thanks for not kidnapping me haha
you are the guru,bloody beautiful job son
Thank you!
Kyle - that was so much fun. The repair is beautiful. Scott sent me here, and I'm hooked. Thanks for the awesome editing and filming and thanks for helping Scott out earlier this year. Keep the videos coming - I'll be watching. Chuck in NE Kansas ps - the fibreglass repair skit was epic! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! I wasn't wanting a shout out, my videos are extremely crude. It's a bit embarrassing and overwhelming to suddenly have people watching this stuff!
@@CarterAutoRestyling they're fine ! Longer is better . Cheers
Scott sent me too. Glad to see a Saskie wrenching and fixing old cars.
@@CarterAutoRestyling Please, don't change a damn thing
Well done sir!. CWM sent me, sorry I'm late. I have a note from my bartender.
No need to apologize, I'm just happy to have anyone stop by who likes this type of thing!
Enjoyed this video, keep up the good work and don’t underestimate yourself You are pretty good with this.
Thanks!
I agree, Scott wasnt wrong.... Great Channel!
Awesome work! Glad I took the advise of Scott from CWM to take a look at your handy work!
Awesome!!! 💀🔩🔧🇺🇸🔧🔩💀 .... .... ....
You are a hoot! If Scott says watch I know it's got to be good. 👍
Fiberglass fenders on order? Ya, right! Looking forward to repair using MIG, that's all I have in my (crummy) welding bag of tricks.😢
Kyle what a talent, so well explained too. Scott suggested that you weren’t to be missed, one can see why as well! All power to your tapping wrist, I’ll be back for more, thank you.
Thank you Stuart!
Scott from coldwarmotors sent me over. Cheers from Long Island New York.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate your humor oh by the way excellent job! From Virginia Beach Virginia
Thanks Mike!
Bravo, More More, gimmie More! No waving hands fanatically or goofy stress inducing music whoo who. I wish you had filmed bringing the 32's rear end from the dead, what a piece of work.
Waving hands fanatically and goofy stress inducing music...you just described my next video, now I'll have to start over haha! I'm hoping this larger audience will allow me to dedicate more time to filming projects as I work on them. The videos usually end up taking longer to make than the repairs!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Don't tell me you caught yourself on fire again? lol. I think "allergic to bondo" might be a good name for a vid. Do you even have a can of it around? lol
@@TomHeid1 I'm constantly running out of bondo from all the hackery that gets done off camera!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Looks like you are running out of over shirts too...need more duct tape lol
Scott from Coldwarmotors sent me! Subscribed!
your living proof that even weird dudes can be extremely talented
Hahahah, thanks!
Carter three seconds in and I was hooked. I find your level of artistic car repair fascinating. Your hard work and great sense of humour are a winning combination. 'Cracking' good show!
Hi, glad you are enjoying it!!!
beautiful work!
His "not getting too fancy at this's stage" would be considered a finished repair to most body men. Real craftsmanship. Thank you Scott from Cold War Motors for recommending this channel
Thanks Gary!
Great job, the metal around the area is still in good condition. Franker's sent me
I'm honored to have Franker's plugging this nonsense. Thanks for stopping by!
Very nice work, it reminds me of an old neighbour 40 years ago who showed me how hammer and dolly work went. Takes a lot of time and practice. At the end of the video, you show the even reflection with a light. Body shops in new car factories (yes, they do body work on new cars if they have too) use what is called zebra boards (alternate black and white stripes) to check for flaws in their work.
Thank you!! The insurance companies and bodyshops here use those zebra boards when doing damage estimates.
G’day from Australia Kyle. That’s excellent work - outstanding. Thank you for sharing your skills. Magnificent repair. 👍
Thanks Colin! I appreciate you watching!
Greetings from Queensland Australia...... CWM sent me over. glad to subscribe
Greetings from Canada! Thanks for stopping by!
That is one very fine repair! I love your humorous fiberglass repair test. Scott at Cold War Motors recommends your channel. I agree, subscribed and I'm glad I have.
The same for me! Thanks Scott!
Coldwar put me on to your channel . Enjoying it too ! Cheers
Well done young man, would love to see the car finished.
Thank you. I'd love to see it finished too
You were so close to losing me when you were telling us how good the filler material was. Glad you were just messing with us. I am now subscribed!
haha thanks! Glad you stuck around to see the outcome!
Man, what a Master piece!😮
Scott sent me over. New sub. You do good work. Ozarks of Missouri.
Awesome! Thank you!
First time channel viewer here, the tube recommended channel thingy sent me here.
I shook my head a few times, sputtered to myself "what the hell is he thinking" out loud...you had me going., I give to that...I stuck around for the sweet weld repair,👍👍 I just subscribed, may as well hang in and have a look at what else you can do.
Thank you, I appreciate you sticking it out through the nonsense to see the final product haha!
Came here from CWM. Had to sub.
Great work and patience.
Scott at CWM sent me here, also. You do some excellent work and have a good sense of humor!
Awesome, thank you!
Great channel kyle. Mr. Newstead sent me here and im glad I followed his advise. Hope to see more comic relief as well as incredible repairs like that fender . As a fellow canuck I will spread the word on your channel as well. Take care. J.
I can't guarantee the incredible repairs, my skills are extremely limited at best! It will most likely be horrific failures with occasional comic relief thrown in for good measure! Thanks for watching!
Nice work there man
Thank you!
Made me remember the elaborate and preposterous fiberglass and bondo repair Scott did on a pickup about two years ago. He started by kicking an enormous dent in the center leaving a cavernous rust hole.
Scott's door repair is still my favorite instructional video on TH-cam!
27:15 The fender looks absolutely beautiful! A fine example of the art of metalsmithing.
Thank you!!!
Scott from Cold war Motors sent Me !....Hey from Kentucky ! Good Show!👍
Hello from Saskatchewan! Glad you enjoyed it!
glad i looked back on this video,awesome work on that cracked fender and some humor as well . i have some fender doglegs to repair on. my 1960 f100 and all i have is a mig welder and grinder so i will be watching your other videos as a "rough guide" good to see someone else with a burned up flannel work shirt seems like i have several.
I thought you were going to use lead to get it smooth. Great job....no filler at all. Thanks for the video enjoyed it very much.
Thank you! Lead is too expensive to waste on junk haha!
Wow! Super metal work. And enjoy the humor too!
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoy this stuff!
I knew something was up- you tig weld to GOOD to put that crap in a fender ....I was like what is he doing Nice video -At least you can say you tried !!!!
I am working on a 37 Plymouth my self but will be checking out your channel -as said your tig skills are admirable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, I'm self taught on the tig so there is a 99% chance that I'm doing it all wrong.
A 37 Plymouth is a great car, good luck with the project!
Scott from CWM gave you a great review, and he was right. Subbed.
sent here from cold war motors. beautiful work.
Thank you!
Looks good from Colchester Ontario
"Far from good"? It looks perfect. Great job!
Thanks!
Most people would have gone to body filler after the initial patch was welded in.finished repair is awesome
Most people are smarter than me haha
Greetings Kyle...Yet another shining example of your most excellent repair work. When you get a chance I was wondering where you studied. Thanks for caring and sharing. The best of the season to you and yours. Cheers, Kelly
Thanks Kelly. I took the Siast Autobody program here in Saskatchewan Canada and eventually became a red seal journeyman in the trade. Learning to work on the old stuff, tig welding and metalshaping was just a lot of trial and error.
Awesome I do detect a hint of sarcasm . I wish I watched the hole video before I went and fibreglass all my fenders 🤦take it easy mate 👍🏼🍺🇳🇿😎
Haha maybe a bit of sarcasm! Sorry about your fenders, but a hammer will make quick work of removing all that fibreglass haha!
Found your channel by accident! I'm doing some body repair and replacement panels on a '38 Austin. The old girls been in a shed for 25 years so you can guess the rest 😂😂 just wanted to say thanks for these great videos and for the tips and fantastic way that you get around real life body panel issues! Thanks my friend! More of the same please ( never lose that sense of humour! It kills me everytime) 👍👍👍
Thanks for stopping by the channel! Good luck with your Austin project!
@@CarterAutoRestyling thank you I'll need it 🙄👍
repair came out sweet
Some people just don't have a sense of humour 🙄 🤣😂😂🤣 that's was a good a repair as you'll ever see , top man 👏 👌 👍
Haha thanks!
