- 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.

Mr Cater sir, you have finally pissed me off! Yes, it's your car butthink in the future and what do you have? A POS! I won't watch you fu-k up a beautiful work of Art!
Finally, the voice of reason.
?
Great job in a short time well done, great project car .😊😊😊😊😊
due to human caused global warming, this modification is being hailed by throngs of idiot scientists as improving fuel burning emissions through weight reduction, while, keeping a stylish swooped over bubble look
Better to be pissed off than, you know, the other thing
Kyle, your half-ass effort is 300 times better than many folks’ best effort.
The flow of the roof to rear window to trunk is ten times better than the original.
Thanks!
@@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.
Kyle, this is the video that is going to make you world famous, even more world famous than you are now so be prepared.
My thoughts also.
Haha the intro was brilliant
Thank you Mr. Carter. Way better than TV.
I never thought I would say this about a 4 door but, that looks AWESOME! ❤
For someone working alone on this car i think you are doing a fine job
That looked pretty darn good in the end.
Best Episode Award! Congrats
Thanks!
You are a master craftsman! Very clean and looks amazing.
Even through my 75 yr old eyes in Perth, Western Australia, it looks the goods.. I only wish that I could have the talent, knowledge and skills that Kyle brings to us via his videos. As we say in Oz: you've done a bonza job on this, Cobber!
Thank you!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Same from me in Pickering Brook Western Australia. I have learned so much from watching you Kyle, I'm very grateful you post these videos, keep em coming cobber.🤗
You were born too late , my friend . The old guys didn't have anything to go by , like you didn't . Great video Kyle brought back a lot of memories , thank you ....
Thanks! Glad it could bring back some memories for you!
Kyle, this is a super Duper job. The haters are jealous.
Lol Bad Chad impression is spot on
A chopped 4 door, lol. That is so friggen cool.
All it needs is a 350, a 3 speed on the floor and a Ford 9 inch with 3.73's in it.
I have a cammed 6.0ls and 4L80 I would love to drop in it.
Yeah man you're 100% correct about these guys The originals they didn't have anything to refer to they had to just figure it out
What a fun project. Very inspiring!
Boy Kyle ... if thats you just messin around I'd love to see you get serious ... guess you will show us on the ole "chickin truck" ... that hour went by in a hurry ... now that's entertainment ...
Nicely done Kyle.
Bravo Vile Kyle! And magnificent camera work by Trixy Tripod. That was the best cutting up, then welding it back together before cutting it all apart again that I have ever seen. Of course, you probably know that you have ruined your life... people are going to be begging you to save it now. Geez... you just don't know when to leave the bear alone do ya... I can respect that. Cheers from a shed, by the tracks, two doors down, on the left, in a secret location.
The backlash is going to be worse than the time you and Flivver got raided by the youtube copyright police!
@@CarterAutoRestyling That will be tied up in court for years.
May I propose Mr. Carter that when you have had your fill of this project that you donate it to a certain subscriber in Iowa... It would look great next to a certain Shack By The Tracks!😎
@@glennnickerson8438 😁
Dude, You are Talented!
I don't know crap about body working, but my uneducated eye will give you an A+.
Kyle you do good work.
Looks like a great job to me
I would like to thank tripod Trixie for doing such a wonderful job. Filming and editing. Yours truly. SIMPY the virgin❤
🤣🤣🤣
Great example of chopping a top. You make it look easier than a person would think.
Great job Kyle you made it look so easy.
Ha! Ha! When Kyle is having fun it makes for excellent content! 😆
Thanks Bob!
I bet your phone will start ringing from California car dudes wanting to bring you home as a pet. Your car went from not-worth-much to being worth top dollar because you made it one-of-a-kind! You have the Midas touch, man!
You are the best!
Absolutely brilliant chop Kyle one of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam, really convincing, you must finish it now👍
Looks finished to me!
Excellent Kyle! I really enjoyed this video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!!!
I'm glad to hear the hammer welding part was helpful. Thanks for watching!
This is Kyle we're talkin' about. At some point after he gets the fenders off the Pontiac, he's going to decide that he needs to find some rusty Pontiac fenders, repair them, and put them on the Pontiac. Have you ever seen him throw anything away?
You've won this huge award for best chop of the year and you mercifully allowed the 4 door die with dignity!
Thanks very much, I appreciate that!
Bad ass customs oh yeah look out Chad here comes real talent
The Bad Chad spoof was great!! This project looks so cool! The old school methods were neat, they just made do with what they had.
the chop looks great!
Amazing talent
Looks good.
What a great job. Simply amazing how it turned out.
Thank you!
Like the spin on so mad sad chad an pristine trailer queen!!!
A true master at work.
I appreciate you explaining as you go it's much easier for me to understand
I'm glad to hear the explanations are helpful!
All it needs now is a DD Speed Shop 4-2 conversion.
Fascinating
Nice it looks great, more cats please.
Awesome job as always Kyle 👍 best to you and your cats!!
Thanks!
Nice little afternoon project
Brother you had me rolling on the floor!! Had to rewind several times..totally hilarious 😂 😃
I'm glad it made you laugh!
i love it!! it looks great
"Vile Kyle".
I visualize a T-shirt...
A four door chop. Fabulous.
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.
Thank you!
Hahahaha. I love the intro.
You have got to put it on the road, it's so wicked!!!
I love 4 doors personally, & this one is so gangster now 🤩!!!
How unique is this, I would be so proud to own her 😊.
I'm so glad you decided on this project, my wishes do come true, I was a Pontiac tech at aa dealership for 15 years.
Hi Robert! I wouldn't reccomend getting too attached to this car
I had one of those back in the 1970's. And I can imagine the effort required to do all those doors etc. One thing I did have for many years until it was stolen,was a Fisher body manual for all the 1949-54 GM bodies. A very useful book full of pics for those who can't read.
Awesome Kyle!!
A different world of skill to The queens other half , Keep up the good work Kyle .
Kyle, it looks great, and your videos keep getting better and better!
Thank you!
DAMN Kyle you make Bad Chad Look like an idiot. I thought he was fast at chopping a top. but you do it faster and better IMO.
Haha thanks!
This really turned out well, it looks great. Thank you.
Great chop enjoy watching Thank you for sharing.
You talk like you moved to Nova Scotia...😂
Love the attempt at working filler like it's lead.
Oh man. I dig this car now. I hated it before.... now ya gotta do it justice and finish it up!
Kyle, My God you turned a bomber destined to be crushed and made into soup cans, into something that has the potential to make a new owner proud as can be, turning heads as they cruise the streets. Your forsight and hand skills make that chop look so easy. It would be exciting to see somebody in "Sus Cats uan" commission you to do an entire project.
You may joke, but you have some seriously amazing skills!
Thanks!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Come on man, you never finish anything. You finish one chop then you chop the next one. You get it in primer then you're chopping the next one. Paint one for gosh sakes!
Really like your free-hand technique.
As long as you know what you’re doing, (or are creating the illusion that you know, Lol), to that fine example of rolling rust….I’ll keep watching.
Back years ago we used to cut cars up with a torch but we never thought about putting them back together, we were only take apart mechanics.
You’re a put together mechanic too, I salute you.
This is fun to watch you go guy.
Who would have thought, now that’s a cool 4 door . Man I like to see you built it out
Building it out not the Chad way,
Just like magic bro - - - looks sooooo cool!
I have a 52 Cheviac 2 door, this is inspiring for me...a 3-4" chop I think just looks right on these cars. Thanks for this vid.
Man Looks great.
You made what is a pretty complex project look easy. Nice job!
Kyle dude… I am amazed, completely amazed!
Great job mate looks great and don't put yourself down your as good as a lot the greats out there.
Cheers from Australia
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing more. ❤️👍✌️😎
It would be a shame not to build that car . It looks awesome. Lowered and paint.😎✌️👍👍
I like this Vile Kyle guy.
Great line.
The original roofline and overall shape is better than anything being built today.
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.
Baby bear porridge/bed category.
Very nice surprise today, loved it. Looks awesome
Dude, you were in the zone!!! Nice work.
I like it with the tires that are on it. Gives it an early autocross kind of vibe
To each their own!
Very Cool !!!!!!!!!
Nice looking treasure ..... visor would be epic !!!!
Thank you for the video ,
Both You and Scott put out some of the best content,
It is about having fun
Cheers !
Yes! A visor would be awesome!
@@christianheidt5733 I bet Lyle could whip up a visor out of old wrinkled fenders he has lying around
@@gymshoe8862 so true!
Unfortunately he's going to use the frame for chicken truck tho 😔.
Well, I was glad to see that Allen, and Poe have reached a peaceful settlement with the chair. I've always liked that body style of Chevrolet/Pontiac. Ian Roussel from Full Custom Garage did a chop on a 1955 Olds, and turned the 4 door into a 2 door. Your chop turned out as good as his did.
hilarious introductions
And you didn't even glue your fingers together 😂
Kyle does an awesome Bad Chad but I don't think Chad has it in him to do a good Kyle! Your the best! Made my evening!
Fantastic outcome. You are quite the metal mover in addition to being a fashion trend setter..
Wao came out alllloooottt better then I expected.
That was Great, Thanks.
Amazing work Kyle. the nicest 53 model 4 door I have seen, amazing to see you master it !!
Looks great 👍 keep up the good work
My favorite videos are watching someone with passion. Then add your talent for metal shaping and I'm hooked!
Great job well done in a short time-frame well done.😊😊😊😊
As long as the finish work looks good after it's covered with bondo and paint no one will know.
I'm digging the 4 door chop better than the 2 door chop looks different from having seen many 2 door chop customs
Very impressed with the job. I am about to chop my 31 ford sedan
Thanks, good luck with your chop!
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.
Perporshons smorshons! She looks great! Like the hammer welding approach
Carter for president..autobody comedy channel good workmanship...peace....
Carter for President....I second that.
