  • Today Kyle will be chopping the top on the donor car for the custom Chicken Truck project. This car is a 1953 Chevy Pontiac and turns out to be rather difficult to chop thanks to its extra doors and curved back glass.

      @@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?

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!!!

    I like how your "this is not the right way" always gives a great result. The chop turned out nice and took out the mordor look. The rear glass angle greatly improves the lines so this fordor as good as a coupe. Even though it is not going to be a finished car it was a good exercise and a nice one to share.

    And you made it better, in short work, better than multi month projects I have seen quite a few do. They tend to chop too much.
    That's twice now I've seen you chopped just the right amount. Not too much, nor too little.

    Oh my God: First I was shocked how easy things went along. Only after a while the problems and needs for creative solutions came up one by one. When I was younger, dumber and more courageful I wanted to top chop my Borgward Isabella 2 d sedan. I worked on it for many years and many sleepless nights in my mind. As I am not half as good as you I am happy I did give up on ruining a savable car and hand it on to somebody else, who never paid me anything, (he had promised me to help me with my other cars, but he never helped me a minute) and never did anything to the poor innocent vehicle. I hope it is still alive somewhere. The car is looking fantastic. I cannot believe the coolness of the look! Thanks for showing that to us!!

    I know you're going to use that car for the chicken truck but I do have to say it would make a cool hot rod.

    What a transformation. From a sit-up-straight, four door saloon to a sleek shape that flows and conveys motion. Looks really good.
