- On this episode of Make it Kustom, I am shaving the windshield posts to make way for a Duvall windshield as well as gapping the doors and filling some holes in sheet metal.

You inspire me to melt steel, blow through every panel that needs welding and generally make a huge mess...It's GREAT and I learn every time I 'make mess'. One of THE best channel on 'The Tubes'...Cheers...(from Scotland)
Malcolm that is amazing! Ha ha I absolutely love this comment because I’ve been there lol you’re right it’s the best way to learn and I’m stoked that you’re having a great time!
Get a scrap door from an old 90s car and practice. My car has over 4mt of spot weld shaving handles and taillights and decklids. Takes a Long time but it's great to say you did it all by hand yourself.

It is so nice to see such a young and highly skilled craftsman. Great work.
Thanks a lot Ron! It’s all right now lol
Holy crap man those corners are amazing! Looks like it was born that way.
Thanks a lot dude!
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! No BS, no blather, no boring segments. I now have a growing list of tools I "need" so I can try out some of these techniques! The skill involved in your work is humbly showcased, but in no way minimized. Thank you for making these videos and encouraging us to try things for ourselves. Fabrication has never been more approachable and charming!
Same here, there's 'magic' in this channel somehow - became my No.1 after watching 3 vids and am subscribed to hundreds of channels..
Me too...looking forward to getting a shop built so I can start playing and gathering the tools.
I have been working in this profession for over 30 years, I like to observe your technique, you will always surprise me with something - great respect.👏
You make it look so easy, which I know it is not. The mark of a skilled man. Hats off.
Thanks a lot Stephen!!
Your metalwork just blows my mind. And the tools you used, the english wheel, the planishing hammer, you made them. What a great metalworker. Great job
Thanks a lot man I really appreciate it! I like building tools as much as like building cars
You are an absolute master there’s no better than you on TH-cam I am hooked on all you do !
I absolutely love this channel. I could watch this all day everyday.
I’m about to start the build of a boat tailed pre war special ( speedster for you across the pond 😉). I was going to use Aluminium but after watching you Karl I’m using steel.
Please keep posting and thank you for all your tips and true craftsmanship. 👍
Fantastic work!
Masterful. 🍻😎
Thanks a lot David!
i hope metal work teachers are shown your channel and getting the students to watch and take notes on these videos, they are so well explained and easy to watch!
Thanks so much man I appreciate that! That would be cool if they showed it in class
Looks badass... Gotta show more of this type of work and vids...
Good motivation for my T bucket build.
Will do! Thank you
Beautiful! Making it look easy, but you can't fool me. Great work.
Really nice work on the cowl and doors. I like listening to the commentary to understand why you are doing it the way you do, and you know what, it becomes obvious that s how you should do it.
Awesome I’m glad that my ramblings are making sense to you! Sometimes I don’t know what I’m saying
An absolute thrill to watch! Getting so sucked into the work is a rush. The work, the filming, the music-can’t imagine how it could be better! Thank you very much ✅✅👍👍
i love your no bullshit approach to everything you do.. great work
Right on glad you dig it thank you so much!
You have amazing talent not only in what you do and you have a hidden talent in how you inspire. If I was 50 years younger I would work for you for free just to learn the broad picture.
Man, you are killin' it! Just beauty work and thanks for sharing!
Wow man!!! You are a magician!!! Thanks for the video!!! Great craftmanship!!!
Ramble is good, we'll always take ramble, clear thinking, planning and doing is the way to go!
Yeah i talk a lot but I’m not sure what to do lol
Killer roll! The cowl/dash/header panel line is so sexy on that. Great work!
Thanks very much Rob I love it when a plan comes together
Amazing mastery of metal shaping technique.
Wow, that is pure art. You make it look so easy to do.
This is so much better than watching the car shows on sky TV, at least you get to see the process Thanks Karl
You’re very welcome man! It seems like TV is not meant for the car guy lol we are too small of a demographic. They need to have so many ups and downs to keep non-car people interested in car content lol
Wow! Terrific work. You da man Japhands.
Thanks Rick cheers!
Wow!!,Not only are you a great craftsman.but your no nonsense approach to passing on your knowledge.you are awesome. You are also gutsy. I would have been afraid to cut a body like that. I'm not a fan of the Dubal windshield.but its refreshing to see you enjoy carrying a tradition.a craft..you are not a cookie cutter, all the same builder. Carry on.jb
Thank you so much Juan! I will continue to build cars working with Metal for my whole life there’s so much to learn! And so many cool cars to build. That’s the beauty of the custom industry, everyone can have their own taste and still respect others
Very nice work. Doing it right the first time makes all the difference in the world
Absolutely!
This is truly art in the making!!!
WOW!!! Awesome work Karl. You are a true craftsman. Billy J... Australia..
Thanks a lot Billy
Man I just want to come to your shop and hang out for a day, your work is great.
That was awesome to watch. The pillar base fills look simply outstanding.
Thank you very much!
This is such a treat to watch and the results are artwork.
Thank you Ron!
Gees, I am so relieved that I found your channel. No stupid monkey business just raw talent on display. At almost 70 I have the desire to learn more metal work. During these cold grey west Michigan days its nice to take a break from my projects and learn a little more about auto metal forming. T-Dub
Man that looks good!!!! Really slick looking, better than factory!!!!!
Thanks man!
The formation of those corner pieces turned out spectacular. WOW! Thanks for sharing these techniques.
Super fine metal shaping for a great end result. 😎👍🇨🇦
Thanks Ron!
Excellent idea with the telescoping magnet, I’m gonna use that.👍
Trying to use one that’s not super strong or it will mess with your weld
Thanks again. Love your ability to make it look easy. Jim in Texas
So welcome Jim thank you so much for watching!
A friend sent this link to me. Called you a Metal Magician. I think he's right! With those developed skills you must have started at a very young age. Modding your Tonka trucks. Wishing you continued success.
I saw the contour gauge flash by in the intro. I forget how useful that thing is and should pull it out more often. Thanks for the reminder.
Absolutely! Pretty handy for this sort of thing
I was not expecting such a massive dose of talent and workmanship, you really amazed the audience, it is not everyday we get to see such a nice work
Artistry in Motion.
Fantastic old school skills! Love to watch quality work like that!
Thanks a lot!
Karl you have done it again!!!!!Just amazing fantastic work on the windshield posts and all of the body work you have done.It looks beautiful can’t wait to see how the windshield going to fit.Your skills are just out of this world.Thank you for sharing.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot Roger I really appreciate you! This is been a pretty fun and challenging project for me

You are the Bob Ross of custom metal fabrication. Definitely a person I'd like to be blessed with some shop time with. Lol
I’ll be doing some classes in the near future!
@@MakeItKustom I'd make a trip. Give some notice so I can plan for it. Long way from Texas. Lol
2nd…. Very original channel, great teacher.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the great content.. I don't have half the tools nor the experience you have, but I'm learning a lot from your videos. Greetings from South Africa.
Awesome I’m so glad to hear it! You don’t need all the tools!
Really nice flow into those existing bodylines.
Thank you very much!
Love the rubber band storage trick 🥰 clever 😎
Ha ha I can’t save it it’s an original idea I learned it from lazze
Absolute artistry in craftsmanship. Great work, my friend.
Thanks a lot Keith
You are a true craftsman!! Learning so much from watching your videos! Those corners are a work of art!!! Watching your videos inspire me to try my hand at customizing something,… anything!!😁
you got the doors to fit so well that i was sure that you had flush fit them so that the rear of the door didn't overlap the body. your a true craftsmen
Thanks a lot Eddie!
showing the work, everyone likes that. keep up the excellent content.
Thanks man will do! Cheers
Не все сразу поймут что 20 минутный ролик на твоём канале это кропотливый труд нескольких суток и даже недель. Удачи дружище!
Mighty fine piece of carrying on!
Thanks a lot!
Excellently carried out , great work 👍👍😀
Thanks Paul!
Brilliant...really like how you say it how it is. Completely underestimate yourself...however it’s great to watch art in metal being formed by a true craftsman
Thanks so much Robert! I’m learning every day working on this car
Великолепно! Если работа идёт гладко и всё получается само собой, значит работает МАСТЕР! Глаз радуется!
Спасибо за Ваши видео!
Love the video's. You should build the Zephyr to win the Ridler, your artistic touch puts you ahead of most builders and your attention to detail puts you ahead of most fabricators
Man that would be crazy to go after that award! I don’t think I have the cash flow for that lol
beautiful work well done
Thanks a lot Jean!
Between you and halfarse and Matt and Mick from iron trap garage you guys give me all the confidence I need to do my own work . Thanks again love your work
I love watching all those guys! I’m glad that we can help give you the confidence to do it yourself! You’re so welcome I’m stoked!
Very fine work 👏👏
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and skills. Always I respect you as a teacher. (From Sri Lanka)
Wow that’s a new one. Greetings nalaka!!! Thanks for watching and supporting!
Just came across your channel and I must say it is very interesting and relaxing to watch. Not all hyped up that gets you anxious. Great work on both the videos and projects!
Hell that is beautiful work you are doing there!
Thank you so much!
Online premier was awesome!! 👌 Excellent work and thanks for the tips
Your most welcome and thank you so much for tuning in!!!
Make it look so easy, inspiring!!
So cool, Karl!😎 keep'm coming. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Will do Rick thanks for watching!
Excellent craftsmanship.
Thanks Randall!
Amazing work. Guys like you are a dying breed. Wish I could spend a week in the shop with you learning all this.
Maybe you can! Once we move and looking more into doing classes
Your talent is immense, sir.
Thanks man just practice!
Absolutely Awesome Work!!!
Nice work. Very little filler needed on this car. Keep up the great videos. You're very talented.
Thanks very much I do my best but it all needs filler lol
When I used to do metalwork, I would use a copper spoon to back up the hole and mig hole closed since Mig does not adhere to copper. Also I would lead copper pennies from the backside of the holes. Virtually no distortion with that merhod. I think you're on your way to becoming the next customizing superstar!
Another awesome video 👍👍
Brilliant idea using masking tape to make a template, thats one for the memory bank. Great work, love watching.
Wicked I’m glad you’re getting something from it!
My favorite Channel, Builder and Fabricator!! Awesome work and explanation of the what's and whys, Beautiful work always!! Just thought I'd let you know! Aloha from Hawaii!
Well man thanks so much! I really appreciate that cheers! Can’t wait to come back to Hawaii
@@MakeItKustom If you come to the Big Island.... let me know, we'll have a beer!
Pure enjoyment, watching & learning from you Karl. Thanks for sharing your techniques & expertise. I enjoyed seeing the wire & tape template . Innovative way to make a quick, accurate & time saving template.
Stay real
Rick
Glad you picked up on that Rick! You’re so welcome and thank you so much for continuing to watch, and support and comment! Cheers
Awesome as always!!
Beautiful Build guys great 👍 job
Beautiful work
This is trueley art Carl 😄👍👍
Amazing job and wery inspiring to watch. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
So true about the filler, great videos!
This is a awesome video. I'm starting on a 29 A roadster...so I'll be watching very closely how you tackle things. I'm such a newbie, but not afraid...
Nicely Done
Great Handwork and definitely custom 👌 😎🛠.
More of that and maybe more inside of preparation... thx in advance and greetings from Germany
Thanks a lot man appreciate it!
Nice work!
Bad ass metal work,good for a young man.
Much appreciated!
Now that’s craftsmanship!
That body shape tool is a well used tool that every body man should have in their box. I own the same tool you have, plus a 10 in. also. Not only dose it give you a out side shape but it also shows you a inside shape. It can be used in several shapes. Thanks for the info and you are right about filler, it is used on any car or truck that is getting body work done. Ronnie.
Right on absolutely! It’s a pretty useful tool!
Finally your working on a car. Loved the video. It turned out awesome as always. Hope your show is a big hit.
Thanks Stanley you’re going to see a lot more of us working now
@@MakeItKustom awesome. Liked your mig video, I've been mig welding natural gas pipe for 35yrs plus what I weld at home. Alot people think l am crazy for welding on live gas line.
Awesome work and editing as always
Great work making your own commercial cowl! Car looks killer!
Ha ha I didn’t even realize that a commercial Cowell existed until someone said it on here lol
