      @@CarterAutoRestyling Can you tell me about that bondpro filler you used? Where would I get some of that? I tried looking it up but found nothing on it..
      Can it be reheated and set again?
      Or was that something else you were using on the car? 40/70 lead solder?
      I've never done this, but I want to now.

    First thing, hilarious!!! I'd also like to add that this is one of the best demonstrations that I've ever seen on hammer welding. You made me understand exactly when you put that dolly under the roof and I saw it come up and then you hammered the weld. Thanks for the lesson. Great video. It's a shame you're not actually building that but I can't wait to see it chopped up and used to build the chicken truck. Thanks for being you!!!

    Well Kyle, regardless of how hard you tried not to, I learned quite a bit!😊 The before and after look of the roofline are striking. I would definitely put a small block in that thing and cruise the local car shows. I'm currently replacing the rusted door bottoms on my 65 F350 but I can't say it's been fun😢. At some point I'll have to admit defeat and break out the filler! But then I have no pride. At least not since I've been attempting body work. Thanks for the videos 😊
