Sectioning The Hood on a Classic Truck. Amazing Transformation! 1953 Chevy Radical Custom Bodywork
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.พ. 2024
- This is part 1 of sectioning the hood on our tasty Chicken Truck, the radical kustom 1953 Chevy pickup. Thanks to old collision damage and bad decisions, the project becomes much more complicated than anticipated and I end up having to splice two hoods together. Also, several critical mistakes are made.

I came for the body work and got treated with some beautiful harpsichord music to boot. It just doesn’t get better. Nicely done Kyle.
Geese!
Dat ain’t no dang harpsichord!
...the harpsichord is so 1723.
Kyle said it was a Hmong music.
There is so much to love about this channel! Harpsichord music, metal work, a borderline autistic host, cats - what else could you want?
yeah the kitty is pretty awesome.
Kyle don’t let the armchair professionals throw you off . The reason people watch your channel is because they know you’re good at what you do even if it’s something new to you . Keep up the good work and thank you !!!!
I'll second that thank you
I grew up waiting for those car magazines every month! Your work approach is most exemplary and your commentary is outstanding.
Really well done, Kyle.
Thank you! I miss car magazines
I was restoring an old church entrance from the 1820s which had some very ornate moulding and mortis and tenon work throughout. The job required full disassembly of the parts with fabrication and replacement of the rotted pieces, etc. Upon fully stripping the centuries of paint, we could see where the original craftsmen had made mistakes here or there. This was. an epiphany for me as a woodworker, because it showed me that everyone makes mistakes, but the masters are able to parry and make adjustments to the piece so no one would ever realize the shortcomings. The masters were prone to mismeasurements or making a wrong cut, but they knew how to cover it up like a magician. As my father said to us, "people that don't make mistakes don't work." ... He also said the reason I had blisters on my hands was because I don't work, too.... yeah. He was tough!
Great story! Thanks for sharing!
To all those shoulda, coulda, woulda folks, Kyle just did it. So pound on that. You go harpsichord man!
You might get a lot of people telling you how to do this metal work better but they cannot claim to scrape mung any better!
I’ve not seen that kind of proficiency since my grandma was de-munging undercoat from the 1979 el conquistador she used to tow her motor home! 😝
Very revealing stuff - its not about the amount of fancy tools but its about understanding metal and how to handle it
Kyle speeds up the tricky parts of the repairs because he is afraid we might learn something but I watch all his videos at .25 speed so he cant slip anything by me. This one took me four hours to watch but I know that he knows I'm on to him
I can't believe you messed up that hood so bad, thanks for telling me that you did, because honestly I wouldn't have known. Another great video Kyle, thanks for sharing your progress with us 👍.
This is absolutely the best hood sectioning video I have ever seen! (disclaimer: it's the only hood sectioning video I have ever seen)
That Newfoundlands Cut and Butt shoutout was Epic 👍👍👍
That old truck really took a beating. I can understand why the designers sculpted models out of clay. There are so many shapes to them. I can appreciate your efforts to reshape it into what you want. I see where you're going with it more clearly with each video. It will be epic.
I'll definitely have to do a lot of bondo/clay/paper-mache sculpturing to determine the shapes I'm after!
I think you do a hell of a job on anything you do
Good day. For some reason, I have always done the face of a vehicle last. Smitty
I am glad you show your mistakes since that is what happens in the real world.
Looks great.
I do not think there is a wrong way of building a custom vehicle like the Chicken Truck.
I think that was the most efficient way to cluck up a hood chop, and looks killer. Cluck, Cluck. Be well.
Harpsichord at Carters hair styling! Top notch indeed!
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.
Attack, React, Condemn.
Such are the pastimes of the uninspired herd.
Visions are for the longhaul. Thanks for sharing the whole journey Kyle.👍🐔✔️
The music really classes the joint up. Oh I see...you're bringing civilization to you versus you going to civilization. I was out in civilization the other day and picked up your participation award trophy but I'm keeping it for myself...it really classes up my joint.
Everybody makes mistakes. Sure you learned something for the next hood you section! I applaud you for taking a step back and fixing the issue instead of pushing through and trying to shim it or something later like some people would do. Can't wait to see the vision you have in that crazy little head of yours for the front of the hood lol
As someone who struggled with a 4 inch rot on a radiator support, your work is just amazing. I will keep watching for entertainment and inspiration. Thank you sir.
I liked the subtle Fitzee shout out. I showed him one of your videos a while ago about welding sections without warping. He seemed pretty impressed.
Good idea to use the Pontiac peak for the chicken truck hood. Looks like it will work well. I enjoy watching each step you take toward the end result. I’ll be watching til the end of this chicken truck build. I’m looking forward to the next one too. Thanks for sharing. 😮
Obviously once I've graduated from the Trolling Academy the tone of my comments will be different, but as of right now I strongly approve of the content of this video.
Best of luck on your final exam!
What's a troll?
Comment just for the algorithm, hi Kyle
Hi Nick!
Frankly I was coming around to the vintage cowl induction look.
Plus he wouldn't have had to section the engine....
And you could see the engine from inside of the cab...😆
Love your work. I dunno, maybe pick a grille next? I have a soul-sucking day job; living vicariously through your channel. Please keep it up!
It's refreshing to see you make and own your mistakes. Many have way to big an ego to show the human that we are. We change our minds and make some poor discissions when we are sculpting. It's custom artwork and needs to flow with your eye. Experiment, enjoy the ride and have fun. Some people just need rules, we don't. Good work.
You know Kyle this is your vision not anyone else's for the Chicken. So i say if someone doesn't like the way you do things tell them to piss off they aren't doing it. I grew up on Hot rod Magazine and rod and Custom always had great ideas. Thanks for an entertaining video almost as entertaining as your cats.
Mung is what keeps me coming back!
I wouldn't have a clue where to start. I'm impressed Kyle!!
Check with your local grocery store, see if they can get dry ice. Used to be the source at one time.
Brent’s chevy project is very intense.
I enjoy watching his channel too. I live an hour away, had the privelege of meeting Pablo and Buddy. And Esther of course. Brent is a nice guy.
I have a 49 and a 52 chevy, i like watching what everybody’s doing to modify their trucks. Lots of great ideas.
Hood is looking great Kyle. Good Idea to harvest the hood peak from the Pontiwreck hood. I'm guessing that the air saw would leave a tighter gap for welding. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Yup the air saw does leave a tighter gap and no grinding slag on the backside!
You need more viewers like me. I don't have a clue how it's done so I just enjoy watching the what you are doing. It's the end result that matters.
De-beaked and peaked. Ron Covel is my spirit animal, brother.
I been waiting to see how you tackled that hood, it looks great already.
You always pick great music for your videos. Thanks for all your hard work!
Man you got a heck of a puzzle going on there! Can't wait to see the end product!
Great work Kyle, as always. And primo de-mungification footage. ✌
Your comment is Mungnificent.
The harpsichord and piano gave your metal work a classy and lighted hearted touch! It makes the chicken truck a serious project!
You should of found the grill first. Dont listen to me i just had to add that in. Actually im just here to enjoy watching metal sculpting. You are one of the best at metal work that ive seen.
Why didn't ya just ... ya shoulda just done this ... do it that way ... cut here ... weld there ... tickle a bear ... great video Kyle ... always entertaining ...
Thanks Joe!
Kyle, I am impressed each time I view your content.
Well Kyle - as an old Prairie boy myself, I was impressed with how you were doing all your work solo and with very limited tools so, I took inspiration from you to do as much of my own work as I could given my limited budget, tools and experience and I must say, I'm very happy your videos were there to mentor me along the way. Thank you!
This approach is so cool. I wonder if the temporary welds could be replaced with neodymium magnets so they would 'auto-adjust'.
I was just looking for some premium mung scraping videos and came across this. Was not disappointed, 10/10 mung scraping right there.
That vacuum got what it deserved. Also loving the chicken truck Great work Kyle.
Vacuums are one thing that must be destroyed, when the don’t suck.
Vacuums: 2
Chicken Trucks: 0
The Chicken truck has elevate you up from a very skilled sheet metal worker to be an artist.
You’re not yellow when you get on to the task. 😊
Nice music 👍
Great show!! Take some advice/comments from an old engineer - if we kept doing things like we have always done them where would we be bows/arrows and spears with stone tips and animal skins for attire, etc. Edison tried something like 10,000 different ways to make a light bulb. He never considered any of them as a failure but as a learning experience - he found 10,000 ways that didn't work so that the 10,001st way would work. Some of my best successes came from the lessons I learned from trying something different failing or at least not succeeding and then improving from there. The thing I hated hearing was "We've never done it that way" or "We have always done it this way". Give the nay sayers the good old middle finger you're number one salute and keep on keeping on. Your ingenuity/creativity, eye for detail and seeing the evolution of your ideas makes the shows all the more worthwhile in my opinion. Also appreciate the dry self deprecating humour.
The old chicken egg is starting to hatch out!!! I think the peak of the car hood will look good on the truck. Got my parents watching now, my mom likes the music selections you add and your humor as well. keep up the great work Kyle.
I seldom make anything or do a job that I haven't done before where I don't realise that I should have tackled it a different way. We all have perfect retrospective vision. Admiting your errors and faults is a sign of great reflexivity and maturity.
I have no intention of doing the sort of customisation or bodywork that you're doing here, but I learn a great deal every time I watch your videos - keep up the good work.
This is great as usual Kyle, you sir are something else but I like it.
I watched on the tv. Back to the phone for comment. That’s very challenging to do! I’m excited for the future episodes. Go Kyle! Awesome!
A harpsichord movement is just what the hood sectioning industry has been missing. Very impressive…
It's a shame the hood sectioning industry is too stuck up to listen to such helpful suggestions! They don't even answer the phone anymore when I call their headquarters
@@CarterAutoRestyling So you’re the guy that keeps calling us! We at the hood sectioning industry fully support the use of any harpsichord music in the sectioning of hoods. So please stop calling us.
Big Hood Sectioning abandoned the harpsichord for autotune and never looked back.
Good evening, thank you for reality check, great video 👍I have same problem sequencing my life, best off staying in garage, less choices!
Thanks for another great session, plus loved the music.
Looking forward to seeing how your vision comes together. ❤✌️👍😎 cheers
Well to be fair
Most of the hood is bare
The underside has paint still there
I'm glad you took the time to share.
Very poetic!
I learn somthing everytime I watch and get a chuckle from your antics keep the content coming and thanks.
The hood is progressing nicely in my unskilled opinion. Carry on good fellow!
I agree, the lesser my skill level, the stronger my opinion.
I remember magazines! In fact, I might have that issue! As for complaining about your technique, I am not sure if I am too dumb, or too smart to make a uncalled for comment, but I choose to just keep watching and support the channel! Maybe I should say something…Ok Kyle, 46 minutes of video that you could have easily shown us the whole process in greater detail in under 4 minutes, and the rest of the 46 minutes could have been the cat! Let’s get the priorities in check! Lol! Just my input, and I am not really a cat person.
Bam. I know I’ll love it. Been waiting for this
I can see that you're a man of eclectic musical taste, which prompts me to ask whether the music you choose is selected from the internet or is it from your own collection? Whatever, I have to say that the injection of some culture into the medium of hairstyling is to be applauded. 👏👍
All the music is from youtubes copyright-free music library. I'm not allowed to supply my own music...that being said, I do enjoy a good harpsichord solo.
A good harpsichord solo should include fire... If Jimmi Hendricks had played the harpsichord you know he would light it up!
@@CarterAutoRestylingKinda gives it that Addams Family vibe !
Most of us have never sectioned a hood so what would we know whether it was right or wrong? Your truck do it the way you want! Keep the videos coming I'm liking this build.
That's some mighty fine Mung scrapin going on there Carter .
Glad to see you back on the turkey hood.
KEEP THE PEAK!
Very interesting never saw or did that myself but really respect your bravery cutting the steel with authority like you do . I’m sure it will look spectacular when you’re done with it . I will be watching with bated breath.
You’re doing just fine!!!! Screw the self proclaimed experts and do it your way. It’s coming out AWSOME!!!
Using a body saw instead of a cutoff wheel is an excellent idea. Wish I'd thought of that a long time ago!! (I realize you prefer negative feedback, but this tip is just really good so this time you get positivity)!
Deep down inside I was yelling no, but cheering for it to work out for you because I love those old chevy trucks.
Forty six minutes and nine seconds flew by while I was watching. That is not a complaint. It is a compliment. Now I have to wait for the next video to see your vision move forward. Absolutely enjoy watching what you do.
Again and again, Kyle... love follow you along on this build. Nice job👍
Thanks!
Great work. That Caprice is in great shape
Just keep working it Kyle, I enjoy watching your work, process and imagination! love it…
Again, I am amazed by the quality of your work. It surprises me when I realize that this is your first project and you are just learning as you go. Your welding is remarkable for a newby. I’m sure you will be a pro if you keep up the practice.
I think he's been around bodywork for a lot longer than you may think
He had to start metal working just recently because he got fired from his vacuum repair gig. Personally I feel it was unwarranted
Thanks! It's my first day!
@@talltom1129😄
@@CarterAutoRestyling😄
I always tell myself it ain't a mistake if you can fix it o I say thanks for your honesty 😊
I love to scrape mung !
Should be on a t-shirt.
Woo Hoo Mung Scrapping! My favorite! What will kite flying Kyle come up with next?
You make splicing the hood together, seem effortless!
Kyle, keep after your vision. Nobody can see it but you, until you build it. I've been around since these were just cheap old trucks, and I've seen a lot of them chopped or channelled over the years, but the proportions always seem off. I think you'll get it right.
Yay ! More chicken truck.
GENIUS! You always make it appear easy.
Stick to your guns, stay the course for your vision of this chicken truck.
Love seeing it come together, taking it's shapes.👍🇺🇸😎
Great video Kyle!
YES, THE MUSIC thank you ALL stay safe
Kyle has an exceptionally good eye for compound curves. After considering the option of adding material to the rear and/or middle, he was able to conceive and visualize how to stretch the top part onto the bottom part so the graft was 'seamless.' Super cool. Even Covell didn't do it this well. Kyle has enviable visualization skillz. I have none.
Master Allan is looking great this evening! Nice chopping of the hood, Tom and I are amazed with the project work being done!
Fire right from the start! That's what I like to see!
I’m loving this build. I can’t wait to see what grille you opt for. No hurry. No worries. I watched a guy working for three years on a Fury splice with lots of agents pitching in. 😂 (I’ve always loved those Pontiac waterfalls).
The harpsichord music sets you apart from other custom car builders: You are a renaissance man.
Haha thanks!
Pshaw...the harpsichord entirely lacks sustain. Only a hack like Mozart could make it work.
You are a card…Cut the deck, and pull a joker.@@scottcates
You're welcome🧠@@user-fw9se3gn1b
Incorporate some "3Stooges Theme music" into your antics.We LIKE that!
The cheque is in the mail!
Hi Mark! Thank you for helping out the channel!
Another great video....
I learn every time I watch your work....
Who gives a Sh@t what the trolls say? This is your build your vision.... Keep going, and we'll keep watching ....
Comments should make you like they are learning from you and can't shouldn't kabitz! Thanks for your efforts and your yankee ingenuity.
Ok..Ok..Good Job On The Hood of The 1953 Chevy pickup...
Because my last comment sent the earth spinning off its axis, I will not make any attempt at comedy of any kind. In accordance with modern society, I will only say.... good job... you are very special... you are one of a kind. Cheers from the shed... (man... I'll be sore tomorrow)
I'm glad to hear you have finally gotten with the times. Including humour in internet commentary is incredibly irresponsible! Nauseating positivity is the only way forward!
😆😆@@CarterAutoRestyling
I think your comment Randahl could apply to both of you: You are special...you are one of a kind...😎
Trolls gonna troll...
Really enjoying watching this build take shape!
Thanks for following the build, Tom!
Good job, Kyle. Everything you did there makes perfect sense to me, and I'm not frightened by that realization.
Due to the music selection I had to make a cup of tea but was greatly disappointed to find the help had not restocked the crumpets .
As a KUSTOM enthusiast I can somewhat visualize where you’re going with this truck and I think it will be KOOL!
I like to raise my pinky off my Red Bull to emulate the upper crust.
