Haha. Just remember you'll never amount to anything in the eyes of some people. Thank you for the fantastic content. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you! I'm quite happy to remain a loser in the eyes of most people haha!
"Sarcasm will be getting replaced with nauseating joy and enthusiasm." That has got to be the best line I have ever heard on TH-cam! I will definitely be using that one. Keep up the awesome work!
Haha glad you enjoyed that one, you're more than welcome to borrow it!
I've spent (misspent) many years fixing junk vehicles 😉
It's a lot cheaper than therapy 😊
Thank you for the excellent videos!
Very true, I've saved a fortune on therapy over the years!
Like Cold War Motors Scott says, there is a group of people out there who love cars and are trying to save a few unique ones from the crushers. To me, thank God you guys are out there. Those critics of your work are not worth worrying about. I appreciate what you do and I am sure I am not alone.
Thanks for the kind words! I like to work on vehicles that I find interesting or unique, not just the popular stuff that everyone else does.
Kyle remember it’s your channel you do what you want, if folks don’t like it they can switch off👍🏴
Ps now I have the third man theme tune stuck in my head. 😵💫thanks a lot 😃👍🏴
It was stuck in my head so I figured I'd pass it on haha
See, that's what happens when you get popular. There's always a car dealer that comes along that hates restorations because they think it's cutting into their business and makes it a point to troll restoration channels.
Or not...
"Arbeit ist eine so faszinierende Sache, daß ich anderen stundenlang dabei zuschauen könnte."
Haha well I was hoping my lame content would prevent me from getting too popular. Nice Jerome K Jerome quote as well (yes I had to look it up and translate it haha)
ha, that guy! priceless comeback.
Can't make everyone happy haha
We need more people like you. Restoring old motor vehicles and getting back on the road is cool. Otherwise we'll lose them forever. Well done and thank you.
Mr. Carter. "You be you" and that'll be great. We wouldn't refer people to your channel if we didn't admire your skillset and your way of explaining what is taking place. We appreciate you. Stay well !
Thanks for the kind words and encouraging other people to watch this stuff!!!
I've always been proud of the fact that I'm completely closed-minded and educatable.. But I think you are being sneaky and teaching me stuff.. Hey, you are working miracles on that van!
Well then I have failed! I intended for these videos to be misleading, confusing, and deeply upsetting, but never educational!
LOL, love watching you work your magic, great comeback to the haters.
Haha! Thanks for watching!
Ignore the haters, and save as many oldy's as possible with your skills ARE better than most!!!
Thanks, will do!
As I've established in earlier video comments, this van is badass. The dealership had no badass vans on the lot last time I was there. I talked to the sales manager and expressed my desire to order a badass van, but he just looked at me and blinked for an uncomfortable period of time. Keep on truckin..... Or Vannin', I should say
Tough to find a good dealership these days haha. Thanks for watching!
who are these folks who have negative comments. seeing repairs done properly .......
Another great save of a vehicle that is totally worth fixing, I like the fact that your not ordering quarters for yet another 69 Camaro build. I think people get mad when a cool old van gets more attention on the street than their muscle car, that they dumped way too much money into. I'm working on a 23 Durant Star coupe the mechanical part is not a problem, but making the body is, after watching your channel I got a set of hammers and dollies and feel much better about getting after it. Thanks
The idea is that these techniques can be applied to any old vehicle, so it's not meant to be about fixing a van, it's about fixing rust. A '23 Durant Star is a seriously cool project! Best of luck to you on that one!
FANTASTIC VIDEO !!!
Much needed information to apply to my '49 Packard Hearse.
Got to go back and watch the 2 previous videos. I have been out of pocket for awhile. Oscar was sound asleep, so I was not going to bother him.
Your voice is very recognizable, especially to Oscar. He stirred and then plopped into my lap and started rubbing the phone. Oscar doesn't pay you much attention, but he sure likes your 2 companions. He and I back up the video, over and over. At least I learn alot, Oscar is just socializing.
Hi Glen! I hope all is well with you and Oscar. I've been trying to include some cat footage in every video to keep Oscar amused.
Love the intro and love the junk, Hate the haters. I have my share of rusted junk and when I'm not working on it, I'm watching videos of other misserable people fixing rusted junk . It's a sickness.
Kyle you are van-tastic. That's one lucky van man! 1967 was the summer of love, now thanks to you the GMC is getting some love back! Cool and groovy! Like Sammy Davis Junior sang, "The handivan can because he sprinkles it will love and makes the world taste good." Looking forward to next week. Cheers, Kelly☮️
Thanks Kelly! It's good to have Sammy Davis Jr's stamp of approval.
Right on Kyle. You might say Sammy Davis has a good eye for classics.@@CarterAutoRestyling
@@Kelly-fk3oi haha I see what you did there!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Which reminds me Kyle, archaeologists have finally been able to decipher what cave folks named an extremely rare cycloptic dinosaur...(I apologize in advance but it was called a) Doyouthinkhesawus.
if someone thinks you are wasting your time repairing the van why is he / she wasting their time watching and commenting .You cant please all the people all the time but not doing a bad job. Keep going im just loving it
I'm very lucky that my channel has such a great audience! Thanks for watching!
I never met a old car that wasn't worth making a fun driver. Please keep up the metal work I need all the help I can get thanks 😊
Thanks, I'll try to keep the metal hackery coming!
Thoroughly enjoying your exquisite skills and that sense of humour that us Aussies get completely.
Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying this nonsense!
Many time over the years, I was told I couldn't, so dont waste my time. So I set out to prove them wrong and I usually did. That just made me more determined than ever, and determination is what it takes.
Thanks for the all videos, your skills and talent.
Thank you for watching them, I appreciate it!
I'm glad to see that no trees were harmed in the making of this video. At least that's what you made me think? 🤔 Best tips and tricks.
Thanks, the trees were safe this time around!
Don't listen to the haters, there just jealous they don't have your amazing skills. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, I'll try to keep the mediocre work coming!
Doesnt matter what other ppl say, i think you're really good at this. Keep pushing! 👍🙂
Thank You. Another great episode. Like the new truck but it looks like a car
Thank you! Do they even make new cars anymore? They all look like clunky suv's haha
Credit to you and your skills. Results look fantastic!. I wish I could even get close when I make panels. Let the haters go whistle. Keep on keepin on and posting the great content.
Thanks! I'll try to keep the rusty van videos coming!
Keep it up Carter, don't stop because of jealous people. Me as this normal person I am, who doesn't have all the staff u have, I know and believe that some people like me and some just don't for nothing just because I love myself n my hobbies more then them. Keep it up guy, u really give these cars a 2nd, 3rd chance to be one again.
I really love what you do Bro
Nice, awesome final product looks near perfect.
Thanks Pat!
There ain't no metal like old metal. Keep doing what you enjoy. I just don't understand why people insist on commenting on something they know nothing about. Maybe they just blindly click on what you tube recommends. Keep doing what you do! I for one enjoy the sarcasm.
Well one benefit of having a small channel is youtube rarely reccomends my videos. Thanks for watching!
Oh No! Pleas dont change the format! I love what You have been doing and guiding me thru!
Thanks, more of the same old content to come!
I once got asked why I was wasting my time building a replica of a Brooklands, why didn't I just buy an original. Wasn't quite sure how to even answer that really. This content is invaluable for those of us who actually want to make things, not just buy them.
I guarantee your Brooklands will have just as much heart and soul into it, if not more, than any original you can buy. That and your car will be far superior to any "finished" car on the market.
I’m just commenting to help your algorithm😃. 👍👍👍
Thank you. The algorithm needs all the help it can get haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling well I also really enjoy your sense of humor and your skill and I think you will have 100 K subscribers within the year.🤞
@@robertshaffner707 100k is a little ambitious haha, I'd like to hit 10k before the year is over. It would be nice to see the channel grow to a point where it's self sufficient and I can dedicate more time to working on cool projects for the show, but I really believe I've got one of the best audiences on TH-cam and don't want to loose that if we grow too much.
Stick to what you are doing, I love your work and learn from it as well. This is why I watch you old cars not new.
Thanks Dean, more of the same old content on the way!
I have a project car that will need some small repairs and now I know how I can do them. Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome! Glad to hear some of the tips will be useful on your project!
I thank you sir, for the opportunity to fire up my zither!
You're welcome!
LOL. Best intro monologue I've seen yet.
Your videos are some of the most useful I've encountered. Your detail on how I can fabricate panels and repair rust are above almost all the rest, particularly when I don't own a whole wack of fancy equipment. Keep up the sarcasm, it's a necessary addition to the videos.
Thanks Lee!
While I may not have bead rollers, sprinklers out English wheels watching this has inspired me to considering tackling some missing rockers on my 2nd generation taurus sho. So glad I found your channel.
I rewatched The Third Man this week, that damned tune has been in my head ever since. At least you got the volume sorted.
Haha it was stuck in my head too so I figured I'd share it!
Nice April fool's joke. Those arches came out really nice. Great Job!
Thank you!!!
Are you still working on that junkpile , I guess I'll have to watch another 44 episodes of that then , just kidding really enjoying the process especially the hand forming , pointers and comic interludes!👍😎
Haha it's more like 144 episodes! Thanks for suffering through and watching this stuff!
Its great to watch your skills carter,
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Love the sarcasm! Keep on doing what you do. I does help others!
Great work, thanks for showing all the stages of fabricating a arch repair panel.
Thank you!!!
I love the opening monologue! 😄 Now back to the video!
Haha glad you enjoyed it!
I admire your talent and ability to do proper sheet metal repairs and welding. It takes hard work to repair the vehicles in your videos and you are great at it. I enjoy watching. I have been debt free for 12 yrs. and I will always attempt to fix something or find the right person who can before replacing. Borrower is slave to the lender.
"Borrower is slave to the lender" Very true! Thank you for watching!!!
Turning trash into treasure. 😊 keep it coming!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for wasting your time and life, and recording it so I can do the same. Enjoyed the sarcastic remarks about sarcasm. 👏
More great work!!! 👍👍
Thanks! Very happy to continue wasting my time so I can waste the viewers valuable time haha
Another amazing video !! You are very talented ! This old dog is learning some new tricks from you . Can't wait for part 4. Thank you for showing us your work , it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you Doug! I'm glad some people are finding this stuff useful!
Why is it a great percentage of the great body guys I stumble across on youtube are lefties? LOL
Great work! You, Scott, and Fitzee are my top three favorites to learn from.
It's odd, I've noticed this trade attracts a lot of left handed people. Apparently us southpaws are more creative and bodywork definitely requires some "creativity" haha
We are here to watch you mate so don't let the haters affect you because you have a loyal audiance here !
Thank you! I'm very fortunate to have such a great audience!
Keep teaching and inspiring car DIY to craft there skill level. I appreciate your channel. I love repairing old cars . They are treasure.
Thanks for continuing to watch this stuff!
Ha! Third Man Theme by Anton Karas! Excellent choice of music.
Buddy it takes more personality to ignore ignorance then to respond to it Keep on Keeping on love your videos keep it up cheers .
Well I've met barn doors with more personality than me so it is what it is haha.
What you do is saving a lost art. We have farmed out the skills you know and will live to regret it.Keep up the fantastic work ,I for one have learned a lot.
Awesome, glad to hear you were able to learn something!!!
Looking good.
Your dry humor is hilarious.
Keep up the good work, and funny vids.
Thanks Steven, I'll try to keep the videos coming!
Very helpful brotha! Great video!
Thanks!!!
With your upscale clothing nearing men in black level, just for a moment I believed you had the van towed off ROL!! Keep up the sarcasm and great rust repair videos! Thanks for sharing I really look forward to watching.
Thanks for continuing to watch this stuff Kenny! I'll try to keep the videos coming!
Love what you’re doing with this van. And yes hand tools get the job done 100% of the time. Fancy tools are NOT needed! But I love them 😂
Oh yeah fancy tools would be awesome if I hadn't squandered all my money away on junk project vehicles that won't get finished! Back when I had a real job I just borrowed all the tools at work, but now I've got to make do with what I've got haha.
This is like the fifth amazing song I've been introduced to through your videos. Thanks for introducing me to your music! ♥
Hey, I'm glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!
You are great at what you do. Pay them no mind. Thanks for takin us along...
Thank you!
Very talented young man. I'm an old, old (64) body man, and I pick up some things from you on occasion. Kudos!
Awesome, I'm humbled that an old master bodyman can learn something from me!
I just want to tell you I’m a carpenter by trade and my hobby is metal working and I’m just starting out you have been so helpful and make it look so easy!!! I’ve learned so much from you and it was a blessing I found your channel by accident!! You sir have inspired me !!! Thank you and don’t listen to the dingalings that make those comments!!!!😁💪
Thanks Doug! I'm happy you were able to find the channel!
Perfect fix...Thanks.
Thank you!!
I thought that I would relay to you that I have bent my first piece of steel today ever for the inner rocker of my 1966 Chevy van. I am glad I chose to start on inner rocker as it looked like c**p. lol. I hope I get better at bending steel for the outer rocker. You have been inspirational and an encouragement to get me to start this massive project. Sooo much rust, bondo and fiberglass. I hope I don't die before I get it finished. What a life.
Hey that's exciting stuff! Good luck with the project! Sounds like it will keep you busy for a day or two!
Another great episode! I can’t wait for the episode where you fabricate a patch for that huge rectangular hole in the middle of the passenger side!
Nothing short of remarkable!
Thanks!
Fantastic work. Nice to see body work done properly. Thirty years ago, I was struggling with stove pipe, pop rivets, filler and fibreglass.
Thank you! I'm not to proud to admit I've done the cave and pave thing a few times in the past as well.
You are a gluten for punishment but you do awesome work sir never mind the asshats that make negative comments keep up the good work.
Thanks Paul, taking the easy way out is boring haha.
Yes thanks
you and fritzy are the best you are an artest keep it up
Thank you! Fitzee is super talented!
totally understand why you do this. i often question myself when it gets tough then set aside for a while and pick back up when its exciting again. You do you bud!
Sorry if you find this comment offensive but, you are starting to inspire me to take on a restoration project.
Uh oh! That could be dangerous! Haha.
Kyle, you are The Greek God Hephaestus in human form.
Haha thanks!
I have been doing body work in New England for 48 years so yes lots of rust. I am still learning different ways to tackle panels and enjoy work work. Nice job. Now I have to finish a wheel arch on a Honda Civic tonight so I can go rowing tomorrow instead or working
Thank you! Best of luck to you on the Civic rebuild and have a nice rowing trip!
Love The Third Man musical theme.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Perfect timing...I'm about to attempt this on my pick up. :)
Cool, I hope it helps you out on your pickup!
Vans comeing together old sport! Keep up the good work n keep makeing videos!
Thanks!!! I'll try to keep the videos coming.
All I know is your videos are so informational and enjoyable to learn . Your great at what you do, in auto body work . Great Job, my friend.
always love your per video humor............keep them coming and keep the old stuff on the road
Thanks, I'll do my best to keep the old beaters on the road where they belong!
Carter , you are incredibly talented. I wish I had a fraction of your abilty. I just keep welding and grinding. We enjoy your car theater and and helpful tips.
Thank you for the kind words Ray!
I need to replace the rusted-out rocker panels, inner panels, and wheel arches on my 2009, E250 with minimal tools, it should be fun, NOT. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us, thanks.
Frilliant work Sir. Always a pleasure!
God bless.
Thanks Paul!!!
Well, let em say what they want. I like the stuff you do. Thanks.
I see your work. You give me hope with that old Suzuki Every van I am rebuilding. I taught for a while (and still sometimes) it was a desperate case, but when I watch you, I say to myself if he can do it, why don't I give it a try too.😊
Thanks again for the videos. I can't wait for a roof repair video. My 47 ford coe roof is beat to death. I'm sorry someone is hasling you about repairing this old stuff. Keep up the good work!
Just know your uploads are extremely valuable to guys like me trying to make a go of it on our project cars.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Hey boss! Another fantastic job and another great video! All the very best from me and the Menace Dog!
Loving the van. Thanks for the sarcasm, glad you didn't sell out after all.
Thank you! I'll eventually sell out when the right offer comes along haha!
Your channel is very educational keep up the good work. Who cares what a few jackals think where is there u tube channel?
Thanks! Glad to hear you find it educational!
Hey Carter, I've been learning a lot about welding and shrinking. I didn't start rebuilding old junk until I retired. On my 79 jeep projects I learned how not to do a lot!:( Shrinking involved using my mig welder and damp rag. I learned a lot, again, of what not to do. The wheel arches will be fun!:)😅
I do look forward to your videos. Someone dryer than myself is entertaining and you have good skills to go with it.
Awesome, always happy to hear from anyone who looks forward to this stuff and appreciates the dry atmosphere haha
You sure can form and weld metal sir, pls keep them coming. thank you!
Thanks! I'll try to keep the video's coming!
I've been called a "wizard" by some jerk who really thought he was insulting me. But you my friend, are a freaking magician. Great work!
Being a wizard might be kind of fun, but I suppose magician is okay too haha.
Great monologue!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Glad you got a laugh out of it haha
Keep making those amazing vids ! You are the man! Great work ! Thanks! JW
Thanks Jerry!
First time viewer and, I presume, a member of the "minority" here.
You totally won me with the intro.
Simply superb job you did with those arches!
You've got yourself a new subscriber.
Thank you!
I’m very impressed you have a lot of talent.
Love yourskills, love your humor, and results. I am about to start on my grandfather's 51 dodge p/u. I learn from tips from people like yourself! Keep up the great work. Enjoy your videos.
That's great, good luck with the '51 Dodge project!
