He's overlooking using foam in a can for dent repair. Fixing the metal is so much work when you can use foam in a can, your moms electric turkey knife, a cheese grater and a coat of bondo. Public Service Announcement- That's sarcasm which is lost on some of you guys.
That door was Destin for the scrap pile.. 99% of people wouldn’t have the foresight to see the door could be repaired including myself… the more I watch carter , I’m learning anything is possible with proper tools and skill set .. and a million swings of a hammer !!! Skills and dedication 🤘🏼
Added bonus. Don't normally watch ads but one of the ads on this issue was Alex Debogorski from IRT peddling truck mudflaps. Really great to see him again.
Love watching your videos! Your ideas are paralleled with mine. I'm old now and bedridden now, so my shop is permanently closed, but I always look forward to watching you work! Well done! Keep up the great work and wonderful humor! Thank you young man
Great to see the 'Young folk' continuing the tradition, I am also approaching my 'use by' date (69 year old) but still get out int the garage to 'tinker' about, if Gene Winfield can still pick up a hammer at the young age of 95 I figure I can try.........
I once had a cat who loved to visit me in the garage and watch the sparks as I mig welded since i was just tac welding at the time I didn't need to worry about blinding her She also loved loud hammering noises and would come running any time I was working on a car in my garage. Great Cat and I am mainly a dog guy!
I think the turnips riding on that truck with you jumped off when they saw you with that door. As Red Green would say, "Any tool can be the right tool." Whatever does the job. My grandpa made tools to suit him as did many farmers years ago. You work with what you have. Thanks for the video. Cheers!
You always make it look easy ... always learn something everytime ... where do I send my spare door to? like I said before ... any one can restore a car ... it takes a real man to cut one up ... keep the videos commin ...
Hey my name's Tim love to see the younger generation putting the effort Ford word to get it done and make it work doesn't matter how you get there as long as the end result is good I've done it many ways in my life that's how you learn
You are blessed with a lot of talent, Kyle. I like your homebuilt tools. Now to find the rest of the project's videos. THANKS. I have learned from watching you work.
I find that if a cat stares at a wall or ceiling for a long time it's usually because they're watching something I can't see, be it either some tiny insect, a spider or an invisible soul-stealing daemon. You took the entire door skin off without it going pear-shaped, that's pretty amazing. The home-made tools are very cool. Looking forward to parts 2 onwards...
Grew up in Auto Body's but found it boring, became a mechanical instead, been watching ColdWarMotors for awhile, taught me I can do it too, and watching you too, Scott recommended your Channel. I'm glad that old Chevy found a home or GMC, Same thing.
The parrot pliers are a great idea. First time I've ever seen an entire door skin removed for repair and reinstall, super cool to know it's even possible. Too bad you are so far away, I'd have you do one door while I do the other on my 62 C10 project...$50 and a pack of smokes.
IMHO, this is actually a very significant type of repair, several junk yards in the area used to hang on to the old pre-war cars, maybe for sentimental reasons? But they all looked like this, pretty good until you see the bottom 4” or so was completely gone. Who knew this could be repaired!
Brilliant work once again, but off camera. Really! That could be full of bog/bondo and a quick coat of silver paint how would we know. More please Kyle and I do mean all of more. Maybe a few tig settings too. I know all welders are different, boy ain't that the truth and that's why it's good to see that as well. Especially for those just starting out with tig. Can't wait till the rest of this build . Chop it chop it chop it
Friggin’ amazing what you can do to a rusty piece of metal. I sure wish I lived close to you so I could just sit, watch and learn. I’d feed the cats and clean the litter box. Your good at what you do.
Self deprecation is a sign of a healthy mind You have many skills that you seem to want us to ignore and I find them very valuable in this day of replacement clones who want a new part for the most minimal damage. I find real bodywork exactly what you practice. The only thing missing is lard and lead paddles! Good job!
Lots of stuff for me to learn! Wish I would have had your videos 12 years ago when I started fixing old rusty junk! The doors on my 64 f100 where in pretty good shape except at the mirror location. The mirror fits through a small slot and fastens the door near the hinge pocket. The bolt on aftermarket ( several ) mirrors had been bent, pulled, and twisted distorting and tearing the metal. I couldn't figure out a way to get behind it with a dolly so I cut the skin out, straightened it and filled the holes. Then I welded it back in place and had the little slot exactly where it should be. We won't talk about the first side but the passenger side turned out great! Something about too much heat:( very little filler and they both look pretty good for a dummy hack!:) Thanks for the humor and skills!
Impressive work man. Only one thing I would tell you. Try working the metal from points of least tension to point of highest tension last. By doing that you relieve a lot of that stress in those high tension areas before you get there and reduce risk of oil canning. Super nice work though. I like how you use use the spoon with pressure on the underside. Smart. Your methods left it nicer than what I’ve seen from a lot of experienced body guys. Keep it up metal man!
Remarkable work Kyle! That you continue to do what most people wouldn't and make it interesting, is why I keep coming back. Would love to see the look on the guys face that said it couldn't be done.
i read a book on bodywork it was the 1936 american institute of technology text book everything was bumping dinging heat shrinking with gas welding gear and the standard hammers and dollies ,i was amazed with the skills they had and all my life i never forgot those in depth teachings .mr carter auto restyling has brought the historical metal finishing into the 21st century domain exactly as the old timers did before bondo and rivet patches . the process in the 1936 manual always started with a jig for holding the doors guards etc for repair mabey consider building a jig mr carter for your future projects
I enjoy the humor and dry wit you dispense with during the episodes! And as always, amazing work! Thanks for taking us along. It's like dropping by a good buddy's place for a visit (without having to block sand 😉) Cheers!
It seems a lot of your commenters just don’t get your advanced sense of humor,….from the turnip truck, to a $50 dollar repair, to the communist brake, and many more!! I love it!! You are very talented! I enjoy your videos, you prove just about anything can be fixed!! Keep them coming!! 👍👍👍👍
Satisfaction in doing the job yourself is priceless, even the cats would agree. New sub. after witnessing your staying power. Good job! Thanks for showing us.
Wow looks great ! The more I watch you the more I respect you. Love your Cat's. I have watched them do that. Seems they can see things we cannot. Liked and shared. All my very best.
Thanks for answering my mental question on why didn't you cut the lower part of the door off at the window area and work on the lower panel then weld all back together after the body work was hammered out. Sometimes, it's best to wait and see. I like the way you work on projects. The body guy offering the repair cost.....well that's his belly button offer, everyone has one and you took up the challenge. Thanks for the education. Allen is a handsome guy!
The answer to "Can it be repaired?" is yes - I know as I do a lot of them. However it is not for the faint of heart & it certainly isn't "quick". Nice to see a video of someone else doing it. Subscribed. :-)
Most people would not to take the time to fix something like that. But part of repairing as opposed replace with a new aftermarket part is the fact that the history of the vehicle is being preserved. Even if the part was interchanged with a different vehicle the history and people involved in the manufacturing and assembly is being preserved and that is pretty cool.
Cats! I have to use a hydraulically articulated hospital bed these days, the day it was first delivered my devoted cat jumped up and settled down next to me as usual, he thought he’d heard something as I started to raise the bed. He likes starring at the wall too but when he saw the wall apparently start to slide down past the bed he went goggle-eyed and fled - he’s never been the same since then. Your truck door is a thing of beauty!
@Carter Auto Restyling Awesome! Big fan of G3GM's my 75' LeMans was my first car. Still have it. I do need to do quite a bit of rust repair. The car is on the road and looks great from 50' but up close its just eaten up. NOBODY makes and patch panels I picked up a crunched in the front but otherwise perfect 73' GTO fender (same) I need to make it work but not sure where to start and not F'it up right from the get go. Looks like drilling spot welds and pulling inner layer of support would be a good start.
Incredible work, Kyle. $50 well not spent. Thanks for discouraging smoking amongst the bodywork trade. I've had a few oil can chasing chapters in my past. Not easy when you haven't a clue. Keep up the good work, Buddy, I'll watch it. Mart.
Are you nuts $50.00 is a bargain. Bet you will spend 20 hours
😂 It was the price of the smokes...
You do realize, he was joking. I like his type of humor.
@@tectalabyss I can't believe Bondo pulled their sponsorship. They didn't understand his style of humor. I find it hilarious!
Oh, my mistake.
I didn't know this was the "Go buy a fender" channel.
You might be in the wrong place.
He's overlooking using foam in a can for dent repair. Fixing the metal is so much work when you can use foam in a can, your moms electric turkey knife, a cheese grater and a coat of bondo.
Public Service Announcement- That's sarcasm which is lost on some of you guys.
You massaged the dents and rimples out of a very old skin fabulously. It is pure magic. Forget that the modern youth can learn that.
I half expected you to step on it at first…
Thank you for showing this. Have a project that I’ve barely started and this is coming at some point.
That door was Destin for the scrap pile.. 99% of people wouldn’t have the foresight to see the door could be repaired including myself… the more I watch carter , I’m learning anything is possible with proper tools and skill set .. and a million swings of a hammer !!! Skills and dedication 🤘🏼

Kyle the metal miracle worker! See you next week
Hats off my friend 🎩dazzle um with Detail .... baffle um with brilliance ...and entertain um with an ol' vaudeville shtick .... razzamatazz

nice grinding jacket
Haha thanks!
I’m 6’4” so adding to door is really great.

Thanks Kelly!
Thanks for teaching me a side hustle 😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Any time!
This is the first video of yours I've seen. It seems you know what you're doing. Great sense of humor.
Thanks for watching!
The stripping music the bumps and grinds made for another great video. But really the door restoration was very informative thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good job. Loved your sense of humor. Subscribed.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah. 50 bucks and pack of smokes killed me. 😆
iIm amazed at the amount of work you have to put in treating these panels.
Great video

Big Bird says thanks!
You’re an incredible craftsman. Thanks for passing on your experience and knowledge.
Thank you!
Amazing how you eliminated the “oil canning “ without heat ! Following!! JR😊
Thank you!
Wow, really enjoyed that. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great episode sir. I especially appreciate your home make tools. Press on regardless.
Thank you!
LOOKING FOWARD TO SEEING THE REST
I really love how you take a throw away piece of metal and show how to bring it back to life.
Thanks! I need to find an easier hobby haha
New project, next level work and humor. You're knocking it out of the park!
Thanks Kenny!
I'm Enthralled... Keep Going!!!
You always make it look easy ... always learn something everytime ... where do I send my spare door to? like I said before ... any one can restore a car ... it takes a real man to cut one up ... keep the videos commin ...
Thanks Joe! In this case it would be more challenging to restore this door than cut it up, so I'm actually taking the easy way out
@@CarterAutoRestyling I get that ... I was refering to what sounds like a custom project you got comming up ... thats getting me excited ...
Kyle’s version of the dream truck will be well worth the wait.
I hope so!

You are blessed with a lot of talent, Kyle. I like your homebuilt tools. Now to find the rest of the project's videos. THANKS. I have learned from watching you work.
Thank you!
Great job! And don’t pay attention to haters that hate on you!
Thank you, I'm really enjoying, and learning, watching your videos!
Great to hear!
Your answer for the haters, that commenting what you should do and not to do, is just genius i love it! 😂
Haha glad you enjoy it!
I'll buy now, watch later.

Very true!

Amazing skill and tenacity...and insanity! Love it
Great video, thanks for the lesson 💯
Hey there Carter just happened to come across this seen your videos while back as far as I'm concerned you're one of the best metal fabricators !!
Thank you!

We have to do what we can with what we got. Don't let negative comments drag you down. You are awesome at what you do. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
