Literally spit out my coffee when you pointed to the trim and said "Someone on the internet is going to be screaming at their computer right now.." You are a legend!!! 😂😂😂 I vote for putting the doors on and revisiting it in Spring. Great episode 👏
where did you find period correct hex drive screws?
should have even used LARGER tek screws. WTF not...that trim was in amazing shape LOL
Hahaha me to😅
“Looks like you might have some oil in your water”! A classic comment from a classic vehicle restoration guy! I can hear the shop Forman saying it now from across the engine block.
I’m reminded of a long ago Summer night at a gas station outside of Indianapolis. Mom, Dad, and three restless kids in a 1955 Chevy waiting for a diagnosis of an unknown sound coming out from under the car. Okay, I have no other way to describe the rest of this story than to recall another shop Forman, in another time and place, calling out across the garage bay in a clear, deep voice in reference to my dad’s car, for the mechanic to “Check this guy’s read end for grease!” It’s a phrase that will live in infamy in our family😊😮😅😂!
I've seen cars further gone than this one brought back to life. Your choice, but personally, it's kinda nice for yard art.😊
This lady is almost 100 years old. It deserves respect and some love. Who can tell her story. Make it alive, keeping the patina is an option. It's great to see you bumping all these damages out 👌
Totally agree. Stitch the metal but keep the patina. She's lovely as she is. No "plastic surgery", please!
Panel-beating is a lost art. Well done!
Actually, I think that many are rediscovering this old art with lots of videos like this. Even the paintless dent removal vids help. I definitely learned a lot and used many "lost" techniques to repair my car, tho I'm still learning.
This guy is unbelievable. I could watch him for hours making repairs. Would like to see him complete the entire fender smooth
No doubt about it....this man is a true craftsman. Sensational!
Finally another good old fashioned fender bashing. Keep up the fantastic work and great content.
Thanks, I'll try!
Went from, “that’s yard art,” to, “you should fix that, it’s not too bad.” Nice work.
Hi Kyle. That storm hit us hard here in Upper east Tennessee ,along with Virginia,North Carolina and Kentucky. No Power,water,Etc. Lost lives,Homes,Many roads,Buseness and Bridges. Had a tree hit the House right over where I fell a sleep in my chair. the credit goes to God has I should be Dead or injured. The House only had minor damage as well. Now it was a big tree. Sadly others were not so lucky. Great job as always Kyle. Give the Cats a hug for me. Liked and shared. All my very best.
Hi Bobby, I'm glad to hear you made it through the storm ok. The cats say thanks for the hug!
Easily got my thumbs up! Was no redundant music, Guy actually talks in video, provided interesting content and details, and just an overall down-to-earth video. Thank you for sharing! Cant wait to see how much progress you make next time :)
I know it has some problems, but it still looks cool. It would make a cool sedan delivery or a pickup. What ever you do to it, I will watch because heck you have some mad skills and imagination.
I enjoyed watching the dents and bumps get pushed out and seeing the fender revert to it's proper shape. Cheers!
It's been a long time since I've seen you. My bad. I enjoyed your skillful work once more.
Again, Kyle, another example of true craftsmanship and understanding on how to read a dent and reclaim a panel with minimal effort. Years ago, I purchased a reprint of an old book on the art of metal bumping, more out of interest's sake than anything, but without being involved, my mind could not really understand it as a text. Now, I am reaching out for that book as I watch this and it is beginning to make sense! I guess in reality, it takes time and practice to gain this ability and you have it in large lumps. Respect young man from a 75 yr old avid Aussie fan of your work.
Thank you!
Good to see that we got somebody in 2024, who can take good care 'bout this 90 years old fender-bender)).
I don't know why anybody would give you bad comments! I would love to have 1/2 of your talent. I know you know what you're doing. I love watching your vlog and will continue to do so. Thanks for all you show us. Mark.
Thanks Mark!
I had a body shop teacher start the year by not saying a word, placing a shrinking hammer and two dollies on his desk. He paused and said. " with these three tools you should be able to take out any dent without filler. Let's get get you there."
I never got there. This video restored my faith in body work.
Man, the classical music is perfect for this video. You sir, are truely an artist at work.Thank you for filming this for us. Beautiful metal mastery.
Very humbling to see just how familiar you are with everything you put in your hands, esp. the TIG gun...
The first front fender incidental music was sublime...
Also, it’s always a joy to watch the sheet metal shape improve as it’s struck from the blind side...
Not only are you at expert level @ sheet metal fabrication and repair, but you are a top notch comedian as well...thanks for the laughs too.
Thanks, I'm glad you got a few laughs!
Dear Mr. Carter.
👍👌👏 Well done, Sir. 2) I vote for cleaning the exterior of this car and putting on some kind of sealant so that it doesn't rust further. I also vote for cleaning all windows and replacing the defective/missing ones. If any, do the rest of the car next year.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
I really like to watch your metalwork, like your dark humor and it is soothing to see a lefthanded guy work.
I also enjoy the fact that your channel is growing. My fear though, is that we could shortly see a video caption like: "I bought the cheapest Murcielago in Saskatchewan"...
Having worked on VW Beetles for many years I can appreciate the skill and difficulty involved in reversing severe damage to curved panels. Lovely to watch Kyle. Thanks for showing us good honest work devoid of scripted antics and fake dramas :)
This is the best mental therapy you can get. Creating positively in an increasingly negative world. I feel inspired to work on my own projects. 1970 Morris, 1973 Suzuki, 1979 catamaran
So nice to see a car with "real steel" getting repaired. These aren't easy, or fun but it'll be fine for the next 50 years! I'm so tired of the new cars with metal so thin you can read the 'coors' on the backside!
@mark TODA LA RAZON LOS AUTOS DE HOY SON DE HOJALATA
When you said you were going to repair that fender- i 1/2 thought you were joking ,although I knew you could.
You’re truly a master of your trade/art form
Usually I find the super fast forward footage on youtube videos to be a waste of time to watch. But, watching what you do in fast motion is so informative, because it allows the viewer to clearly see how your actions directly affect the form of the panel. I think I'm actually learning something by watching you work, and it makes me want to test that by starting body repairs on my 1982 Capri, something I've put off for about a decade now.
I have to admit, when I watched you bend that piece of trim out the way, I thought to myself, how uncharacteristic of Kyle to be so crass, but I was to enthralled with the doins to start hammering my keyboard in protest. But in the end when you did such a splendid recovery of the trim I was put at ease. My vote for what its worth is, there is way more content to be had from this disaster than 1 or 2 postings. you are right, some of those cross member cracks are going to be full gainers, but I have faith. I think stabilize it outside she goes well tarped and next spring we can stand to see it again. Be well.
I really enjoyed watching you take out the dents and then keeping the patina. Thanks for sharing.
What else can I say? I love your work.
This was the content that hooked me to your channel. Whoever taught you, did a tremendous job. It also helps to have a fabulously talented student. Well done!
Man that was amazing! Glad I found your channel
Glad you enjoy it!
I love that you got the rare Canadian All wheel drive model with the optional Fountain of Youth Oil/Water separator built into the engine. I’m so jealous
Love it! Real hands on work. Nothing better than getting a peek at another man's technique.
Another excellent episode.
Your tin bashing is simply a joy to watch, what great results you get!
I once had two 1937 chevy master deluxe's ,,,Iv Always wanted a 1935 MasterDeluxe
I really look forward to Friday nights watching you working on old vehicles using just simple hand tools that most of us have in our garages. How much more basic can you get than with a bucket of soap water, rag and few simple hammers and dollys to make nice patina fenders! Keep up your natural born talent ! Thanks Kyle.
It's amazing how much better the car looks just doing that quick tidy. Thanks as always.
Wonderful work! Would have never thought this would come out like this
Always look forward to your channel!
I appreciate that!
I never thought that they had wooden structure.i just learned something.but what ever it takes i know you can fix it.determination is what you got kid....350 chevy it...peace
My ‘36 took years to do. No easy way but knee action rides great. Worth fixing. Grind shafts fit bushes and seal to adjusting nut.Took years!
Nice work. Very impressive patience and approach to repair. I bet if she could talk, she'd say, "aahhh, finally. Thank you so much"!!
Thanks for making videos I’ve Been watching for years
Thanks for watching!
Bravo! Going to be nice yard art! Nice to see body work done the old way.
Love your work Kyle . Very skilled and creative and the Music soundtrack choices are really fantastic . i love it
You do such amazing work Kyle. I would never have thought that it would take you such a short time to bang out the fenders to a presentable appearance.
I don't know how often you peruse the TH-cam channels for information but I saw something the other day that I'd never seen before in my life (and I've been around a while).
This fellow had a really frozen up motor that wouldn't turn worth a darn. The motor had been taken out of someone's car so that the body could receive a more powerful engine. The motor was left to the elements from the Early '60's to the Present and just left to decay.
The motor was filled with 60 plus years worth of rust and water. He explained that "sure you can pour all sorts of chemicals, acetone, ATF, STP, kerosene and other oil based products which might clean up the interior rust inside the engine and free it up but he showed a really cheap and effective method, which he claimed "always worked" was far better and a H*LL of a lot cheaper.
He flipped the exhaust manifold so that they wouldn't leak but said you could also plug them up with simple rags covered with duct tape or plugged up with molding clay.
He then took a couple of gallons of ordinary white vinegar and literally filled up the entire engine with the vinegar. He let the White Vinegar sit inside the engine for a day (stating that a really good clean out could take 2 days) and then opened up the oil drain plug and let the rustiest, clot laden liquid you ever saw drain off.
He then opened/ cleared all the exhaust manifolds, removed the spark plugs and put a breaker bar with a socket to the motor. Within seconds of attaching it to the nut holding the harmonic balancer in the front of the motor, he had that former boat anchor spinning freely. an episode later, he got the engine to run.
Perhaps after you've let the motor sit with your used oil inside, you might want to drain if off again, let it drip dry for an hour or two after draining and try the White Vinegar trick? He explained that since the vinegar is a very mild acid, it eats rust by causing a mild electrolysis reaction and causing the rust to separate from clinging to the pure iron element by de-ionizing it.
BTW you can also pour some of that vinegar on the rustiest areas of the body's exterior parts that have lost their paint then wipe clean and either linseed oil the metal or wipe clean and rattle can!
* A second thought came to me. Clean up that license plate and secure it correctly to the bracket. Buy some cheap quarter inch plywood and/ or plexiglass and block in the car's open windows and doors so that no more rain, ice or snow gets in. If you really want to go bonkers buy a 30 x 20 blue tarp and wrap up the entire car.
A possible Low Buck Garage presentation?
I have seen a few of the "will it run" channels use vinegar to get engines to turn and run. The problem is that vinegar is an acid and unless it is neutralized it will continue to eat away at everything inside the engine, leaving it in worse condition than it was to begin with. As I showed in the last episode, this engine is already ruined, plus the transmission and clutch are broken so there is no benefit to getting this one to run.
Jenning motor sports?
I watched that too! I was amazed.
Ive always been one to want to save the old iron. But its not my dime or time. But since you asked for the fans advice. I think cut entire floor away and use some sguare tubing to build back floor frame and tie in the outside skin to
Good on you to make your yard art more appealing
My uncle was a bodyman and these were his bread and butter. Straighten, metal work, fill with lead and paint.
This is my first time seeing your channel even for you doing a not perfect job it's definitely better also thank you for actually doing body work and not just slapping bondo on it .
Perimeter alignment... circle the dent before attacking. Reads like a John Wayne movie.
Thanks for sharing.
Love the video. My dad told stories of a man with your skill set fixing his damaged 40 chevy in the early 50s. love the car and if it gets drivable I would definitely have interest in purchasing it. Great job !!!
Another great episode!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Cheers from Clint in Virginia.
I'd hot rod or rat rod it. There's just something about the look of that car that says it could look really special If done right, and clearly you're the man. Fantastic watching you repair those fenders, you're a metal magician.
Wow, you did a great job on all the fenders. Now I like the ways you do that. I bow to you because you've made it look so much better.
make it into a coupe 😎 great job on the dents
To straighten old hard body vehicles one has to understand metal, this guy gets it!
Boy you got a lot of talent I wish I had part of it
Great video as usual. Learned a lot. You make it look so easy. Thank you for your time .
I can't believe you restored that car in 32 minutes. Looks a lot better
Nice! I think you’re on the right track for a classic “rustoration”! Although those models have a back end that only a mother could love!😆
Great music...tempo near hammering. This craftmanship personified. Thanks for the video.
Doing a Rustoleum restoration on my 63 Ford van. Thanx for the tips.
Much more presentable 😊
The BEST music of any videos :-) :-)
Love the MAP gas. LOL Counted my cats when I fed them tonight. 20 grown. 2 blacks. 1 calico. 1 tortoise shell. 2 whites. 2 target side orange. Various yellowish orange. 1 black with white socks. Told my mail delivery lady she could have a kitten. She took 4. Now I need to take care of the other 2 litters. My cats are all feral. I've had inside cats but they were inherited or rescues and they all lived out their days as my friends. Can't do any more rescues. Some of my varmints are fixed but not near enough. Your Poets are great. Nice art work on the Chevy. My extent of bodywork is blocks of 2x4 and a pry bar. LOL
Most we had was 19 at one time. The kittens all went to good homes, the 7 permanent residents are now all fixed. Glad to hear someone else out there has a love of cats and gives them a good home.
NICE! - - - Carter Auto Freestyling
Magnificent repairs, Kyle!
I'd say do the best you can to keep the car dry for now and a solution will come up some time down the line.
"Change the water" had me dying!
Your half arsed repairs are still better than my finest attempts.
Before I even get started, knowing your profound skill, yes, it will be fixed. (my prediction) ... ok settling in to watch.
Edges first !
I think you just saved me a bunch of time
Thanks
Good job on pounding out the defects of character! What a stately beauty. Ja a good spring has sprung thing!
She’d be a nice weekend camper? Couple of front seats and a bed of sorts-sounds like fun!
Nicely done! You inspire me to go make noise in my garage! I just wish my attempts looked as good as yours! Keep filling my tine with your waisted time...I'll be back, again.
The mouse trap inside the floor board is the best part of the video!!!!
Make it into a "5 window coupe". Cut the entire car apart just behind the "A" pillar. Then cut it again just behind of the "B" pillar.Then slide the two end pieces together and weld it into a coupe. Cut the tops off from the front doors and weld them onto the top of the rear doors to fit the slope of the front windshield. Just like that and you have a 5 window coupe in two weeks.
Day is now better and stomach is not growling as bad. I so do enjoy
I like the classical music Kyle. This is sort of a meditation for us brutes.
Great content! Nice Saturday afternoon watching. Better than Motor Trend
Turn it into a five window coupe, go crazy and frame it in steel. Seriously love your videos, just have fun.
To me you are the best at getting dents out. Thank you it a pleasure watching
amazing work. love the pro boss patina job 👍
Loved. This. Video.
Fast fun satisfying. Keep up the good work!
Nice work!
The fender itself is a piece of art. I like how the roundness of front of the fender subtly acquires the hint of a crease on the rear half. Mozart approves!
Love 👍the Canadian Snow treads
This a comment just for the all-important algorithm to make you even more of a celebrity,,,
Haha thanks Joe!
Nice job my man!
You should be proud of this one...Fantastic repair!
I guess that means it won't be back on the road in a few days then. Mmmmm that means a take 2 and turn it into a 3 window coupe😊
There’s a fine line between cool old car and public nuisance. Wise words
I really enjoy the speed of the video during the repairs. It's fun to watch the metal take shape. As far as what to do with the 35 Chevy, man that a tough one because I don't know your situation. I'm much older than you so I've had to reduce my projects that I get into so I can ensure I get them finished. Your a young man so having multiple projects is still a fun distraction.
Smack it up, flip it, and rub it down, looks much better, it would be an injustice for anyone to call this 35 an eyesore now. Patience and time is really what it takes doing body work, it's better when you enjoy doing this, otherwise you get piles of bondo, rivets, and various pieces of aluminum or steel screwed underneath the bondo lol. I love the sarcasm and music.
G-d bless.
ok....totally enjoy this video. "somewhere between art and public nuisance". lol. create more please.
Im doing my same '35 Chevy fenders NOW so I can reassemble my front clip after painstaking new IFS suspension and V8 engine......IDIOT incorrectly measured when his shop installed my PREVIOUS NEW IFS.... now I do everything myself except headliner.....Great fender work... My rear fenders need LOTS OF LOVE . Both lower rear edges got bitten
Mind boggling craftsmanship at its best
I love watching you move those electrons around.
