    The "Destroying a Classic Car Because of Rude Comments" episode is in my opinion an award winning episode...that is so well done, Concept, Editing, Destruction, Reconstruction, and Execution all top notch and a fabulous video. One of the best I've ever seen. Kyle is an absolute throwback master craftsman who hasn't even begun to peak in his skills. Just imagine what he could do with a bigger budget. LIMITLESS TALENT! KEEP KICKING ASS KYLE!

      I am always wary of people baiting the internet because for some people all this is frighteningly real and important. Some idiot(s) could want to do him real harm. To me the fact that a car that is beyond economic repair is going to be used to create a unique custom build - what is a better end for this car?

    This is turning into an amazing build. I like your method of finishing as much of the bodywork as you can whilst building. I have seen other people quickly welding everything together and then ending up with something that looks like Frankenstein's bride that needs weeks if not months of bodywork to get to paint.

    Kyle, every time I watch you at work, I admire and respect your affinity with metal bumping and doing it old school right. I slowed down the rear mudguard (fender) repair as you worked it out, so I could try and work out how you remover the dent path. Take care and there id no way that cutting up the sedan was anything other than recreation in another location! Loved the chop top, however.

    I got your idea right off on that quarter panel and the route you took is the best way to go. Also by removing that panel you were able to work that dent out of the taillight area a lot easier and gave yourself a workable panel that will require very little finishing work. And of course the right side panel as you have shown is really going to show the advantage of removing that piece and making your own replacement panel.🥸👍👍👍👍👍👍

    Nice reconstruction Kyle, the chicken truck will live on, the surgery is going well on this 70 year old marriage. The one thing about working on a 50's vehicle or two, is all the sand and dirt that fall's all over you when working underneath it doing any hammering, grinding or wrenching. I just had the wonderful experience earlier today taking the old master cylinder out the bottom of my 54 m38a1 jeep. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the damn thing under the vehicle between the exhaust pipe and the frame rail. I removed the skid plate from under the transmission so i can put a new mount in, and the dirt in my eye's was to much, and i had safety goggles on, but that crap gets in anyway. The 70 year old nuts and bolts are a pain, but the rusty cotter pins really don't like to come out without breaking, and make it that much more fun. When i saw all the dirt pouring out when you were separating the quarter panel from the wheel well, i was glad you weren't laying under it. Thanks for the fixing, and the entertainment, needed this lol. G-d bless.

Carry on good sir!!
