Come on people , this man should be at 100,000 .subs by now....
Haha that's a dangerous number!
Keep it coming, I will watch if nobody else does.
Thanks George, I appreciate that!
Yah, ya never have to worry about making a mistake on the internet. There will always be someone to tell you when you're wrong.
It's great having so many helpful and knowledgeable people out there!
Great to see you and scott at cwm channel, youre both v.tslented but also humble.
Glad you enjoyed that, it was a fun visit!
Loved your visit to Cold War Motors. I enjoyed your tutorial, teaching them in the field body work and their journeyman on hands working the opposite side of the car. Very eye opening.
Glad you enjoyed it, I had a lot of fun fixing up the Studebaker!
Thanks for having us over. It was fun to see you and Scott having fun with the Stude!
I had a lot of fun on the Studebaker resto. Thanks for watching!
Don't skip the '66 C10. Just sit back in the chair and appreciate the patinated beauty of the new truck for awhile first before tearing into it. The neighbors need to get used to seeing it before bringing it inside.
Nice work over at Scott's place. I think viewers love seeing that kind of all-weather determination.
Oh yeah, I've got it parked in a strategic spot on my lawn, so it's the first thing I see when I go out in the morning
I thought you had taken a break or something. TH-cam hadn't been recommending your videos to me. Please don't stop the 66 Chevy pickup project
Oh I'm working on the 66 as we speak!
I always like your reverse-sarcasm with your audiences especially with the haters...lol
Glad you enjoy it haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling Always...being in Aussie I can not do what you do on rust repair for the road. We have way to many regulations here! Means no rat-rods, No customs of any type unless you have a lot-lot of money! LOL...Keep up the good work, I appreciate your efforts for your videos!!!
"Luke the sarcasm is strong in this one"
"Use the sarcasm"
May the sarcasm be with you.@@CarterAutoRestyling
Always
The amount of Mercury truck trim,badges, etc is amazing. Hard to find stuff.
You are worried about the cold months coming up. I am looking forward to the cold just to see you wear the hobo jacket. That thing is indestructible.
It's an icon for sure! Haha
Pinch of advice: In your junkyard vids…… title them as such. The “algorithm” will spread your reach.
“Junkyard crawl”, “Scrapyard tour”….. etc.
Great content, keep’em coming!
Thanks for the tips!
Just waiting for whatever you post next. I'd watch you scrape barnacles off a boat--not that you have much ocean front property in Saskatchewan 😂
I've actually got some ocean front property for sale here in Saskatchewan if you're interested...I'll make you a great deal!
@@CarterAutoRestyling sweet! I'll trade you for my dehydrated water mine 😁
Those Advance Design trucks are like stray cats, you let one follow you home, give it a little love and the next thing you know there are 5 of them sitting in your yard begging for attention.
You got that right Tom! I finally got rid of all my Ad trucks, and two weeks later this one shows up! Haha
omg that british car is a 49 to 51 Vauxhall LIP!!! My folks had one and alive had a couple as well! Suicide front doors, wee Straight 6 ( similar to a stovebolt ) LOVE those cars!
Thanks for identifying it! Definitely a really interesting car and not too common around here!
I am enjoying your work on the '60's Chevy. Makes me appreciate those models more. Liked that Apache in the junkyard, too. Going to enjoy the "chicken truck" project, too.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying that series!
Chicken Truck! Woo! Good thing it is already yellow; that's gonna save a bunch of time... Well played buddy!
I'll be saving a fortune on paint and other bodyshop consumables, too! Every way you look at it, this was the right truck for me.
Happy days, just finished working on my old junk in the garage and this pop's up 👌👌👌
Great timing! Thanks for tuning in!
Oh boy! Another rusted-out old relic! This thing would make the guy at the crusher wince. But of course, it had tremendous magnetism for Kyle, like a street urchin attracts certain people. So now he has to bring it back to life. Is it a project? You betcha!
Hahaha thanks for the laugh!
"I'd like to have one of those someday." Don't wait too long, or there won't be any left!
23:20 definitely digging it. Don’t quit on it. You can do this.
When I was a kid my father had a station wagon that color yellow with rust spots and patches of brown primer paint on it. My sister didn't like being driven to school in it because she thought it looked like a rotten banana.
Hahaha that's awesome!
The future is looking good. Thanks
I like your optimism!
Hey Kyle, I started rebuilding old jeeps about 14 yrs ago. Had no idea what I was doing but thanks to guys like you I was able to get great "tips" and help on line. Learning rust repair and also dent repair has been a great help. I also enjoy the custom work so I'm looking forward to seeing that. When I started I bought my first jeep for the price of hauling it away. Over the years I've watched the prices continue to climb to a point where it's difficult to justify the costs. I had to pay $2000 for my 64 F100 and haul it home on two trailers. I'm fortunate that I can work for about $1.50 an hour so I'll probably recover my labor costs!😊 14 yrs ago I bought a 4' X 10' sheet of 18 GA for $59.00. Last year the same sheet was close to $300.00. I'm going to have to sell something soon to make room and get a couple $ to start a new project. 👍
Hi John! I hear ya on the rising costs of everything. I'm determined to continue trying to fix old junkers for as long as I'm able to.
Kyle... I went to the same junkyard to catch a cab, after three days waiting for one I gave up and walked home! 😣
Hi Kelly, you made the right choice to walk! This was the most expensive cab I've ever caught!
Those prices looked astronomical until realized they were Canadian.
Do I hear excitement in Kyle’s voice? It’s a subtle nuance of course.
Glad you were able to pick up on it haha
I'm looking forward to the Chicken truck build. I like any project involving one of those old Chevy or GMC trucks. We have a better cab than that one in a fence row out back. Too bad the border people aren't a bit more reasonable. If I pulled up to the border with that cab we would have a platoon of Montana Hwy. patrolmen and a troop of Canadian Mounties there to investigate along with a busload of Government people with a truckload of forms to fill out.
Glad you're looking forward to the chicken truck build! Trying to get accross the border with one of these cabs would definitely cause an international incident haha
great junk yard crawl thru video. the fender repair at coldwarmotors was really funny but you managed to pull off a decent temporary repair.good job
Glad you got a laugh out of the fender repair, it was a fun afternoon/evening!
Kyle, the next time you go Junk Hunting in that Junk Yard, pick up that early '54-ish Nash/Rambler or Hudson (I couldn't see the emblem that well) then challenge Scott from CWM to a body repair and primer coat finish competition with his bashed in Nash/Rambler or Hudson that he has in his yard. I'm sure someone in your neighborhood would team up with you to throw down the Gauntlet to Scott and his Merry men!
Sounds like a fun challenge!
Interesting yard of grain trucks and stuff. Woild love to spend a few days nosing around there!
Yeah it's a fun place to visit
I even spotted a Riviera there - always liked the boattail models
They are awesome cars!
Enjoyed watching you do body work on the cold war motors Studebaker.
Glad you enjoyed that, it was a fun day!
I just love the old school Air conditioning the truck has 😂 😅😅
Much better than the stuffy Ac in modern vehicles!
wish they all could be saved we need more armature body men
I agree!
Hey Kyle ! Certainly looking forward to the chickentruck project. And all other videos from you :)
Thanks Martin!
One small patch for man, one giant chop for TH-cam!😅
Haha yup!
I like the 66 Chevy project. Hope you continue with it.
Glad you like it! Updates coming soon on it!
It always amazes me how much nicer they look, until you get them home. Your saving a truck no one else would have, so I can't see anyone grumbling.
Yeah they always look better in someone elses yard! Haha
Liked seeing the old Ford pickups. My grandfather had one for his creamery route in Virginia; and as a young kid in the early 60’s I traveled with him in the summers on that backroads route. Wonderful memories!
Thanks for sharing that! The old Fords are definitely cool!
As I worked on my 62 C10's Door today, I wondered why I kept worrying about how long it took, knowing Kyle would say "it's not about the time, it's about the result!"
You got a sweet deal on a truck that will only take a little time to sort out. Man, there goes that time thing again, smh.
I hear ya on the time situation! There's never enough hours in the day
Somehow I just knew this was going to happen when I saw you over at coldwar motors giving the Studi fender the Earl Schib's half over.
And, yeah....that cab was never going to be anything ever again, except maybe a Kia if someone like you hadn't come along.
Haha yeah, the yard is on the way home from Coldwarmotors, so it was too convenient to pass up!
Hi kyle hope you keep up the excellent body work on this like that you did with cwr not the ham fisted stuff you normally put out😂 . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Haha that's the plan, Peter!
Great yard tour Kyle and Should be two good Builds Can’t wait
Amazed how many of those trucks have survived in any condition. It's not as if they have an easy life and are are washed and cosseted every Sunday.
Yeah they were built pretty tough!
Looking forward to your upcoming work! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Looking forward to the next upload. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I hope you'll enjoy the next episode!
All my very best to your Cats also : )
Don't know about the rest of them but I'm waiting on the tare down
looking forward to the ''will it run''!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
looking forward to seeing you challenge yourself! pinecones might be the next fuel source, renewable energy
Looking forward to rust repairs on flat panels they are the hardest. For me anyway. I guess you will perfect the shrinking disc on this one.
Yeah I'll definitely be getting no shortage of practice in on the shrinking disk!
You really have an eye for treasurers ... lookin forward to the chickin truck ... nuthin I like better than cuttin one up ... 👍
Haha thanks Joe!
Thank you' Kyle! I see a lot of possible future restoration vehicles here.
I personally enjoy watching videos of whatever you happen to be working on at the time. Be it something from the 30's to the 60's.
Gathering pieces/parts for the 'chicken truck' and the inventory shown in the 'tour' ... I wish there was a place around my area like that.
But then again, I would have more 'stuff' on my property which may never see completion.
I'm glad you enjoy watching this stuff! We are lucky to still have plenty of projects around here, unfortunately there's not many people who are interested in fixing them.
I'm into the 66 (or whatever year)repair
What ever you work on is fine by me. I'm just looking to gain some insight into this sort of work. I love the humor too.
Thanks Paul!
Nice Studebaker pick-up truck!
Yeah it was really cool!
Happy to hear that more 47 to 53 stuff is coming. Because thats what i have i can relate to it.
Right on! Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching you take the worst of the worst and turning it into something that has a chance of another life. I really don't see anyone taking on such an almost impossible project. Now get to work
Thanks Paul, I'm trying to crank out the 66 as fast as I can so I can start on this new truck
Thank you.
I for one am diggin' the C10 videos. I'll watch em all as long as there is metal beating involved.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it. More c10 updates coming soon!
lm also into the 66 itll be nice to see you work on it keep the great work
I enjoyed the tour of the salvage yard!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The kids game "Operation" should have prepared you to fish out the junk from the intake manifold. The salvage yard is a gold mine, you are lucky to have it around.
Oh we were too poor to afford board games when I was a child. All we had was a cardboard box and a piece of string
I would love that ford f1
Yeah they are great trucks!
Thanks, Kyle. Keep up the good work.
It’s not gathering views? All your projects are gold to me. I love the process! I’m totally looking forward to the custom work!
Glad to hear you enjoy this stuff, Pat!
Are you really going to recreate that 53ish Chev that was done by one of the magazines-- CarCraft--Honk__ Rod and Custom or some one. It got rolled over out in the desert while being toad to a show or something. I LOVED that truck. Couldn't wait for each monthly issue while it was being built. Good luck on your version.
The plan is to do similar modifications, but the final product will be of my own design and hopefully not look like anything that's been done before. The original Rod and Custom dream truck was restored after the accident and is still on the road today. I believe there are at least 1 or two clones too. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy what I've got planned for this truck!
When one door closes, another door opens.
But other than that it's a pretty good car.
Thanks for the tour, it’s nice to see prices listed on some of the stuff. Looks like the price of rust is going up. I might be sitting on a goldmine!
Time to cash in! Haha. Prices are still up, but I've noticed stuff isn't selling as fast as it did a couple years ago.
@@CarterAutoRestyling stuff on marketplace here in red deer is pretty high for used junk too. I got a kick out of you peckers doing bodywork on Scott’s studebaker. I shook my head through the whole episode but was surprised how good it looked afterwards. Ready for the auction block after the V8 summer showdown. Haha.
Feeding the algorithm. Want to see radical kustom!
The algorithm thanks you for feeding it!
Maybe I'm just attracted to shiny things but I like that '47 Merc!
Yeah it was tempting! Haha
A Cab Over would be a good take on making a chicken truck--it's already got the height!😆
That would be too easy! Haha
Mercury (F350) truck? Cool!
I agree with you those old international pickups are a cool design in the future it would be nice to see you do one thanks 😊
Yeah, when the right one comes along I'll buy it!
Hi Kyle and cats.
I'm envious of your choice of all the tin there.
Looking forward to whatever project you work on.
Have a good day.
Thanks Joe, I appreciate you taking the time to watch all my videos!
How is the model A coming along?
@@gwstubbs7046 Hi there!
I have a lot of ups and downs gealth-wise so progress is slow but it's a hobby.
How are things?
Don't know about you, but goin' to a yard is like....goin' backstage at a Vicki's Secret pageant!!! Thanks for titillating us with rusty lust!!!
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like you had a good fun with coldwarmotors some days ago, I've enjoyed the restoration of fenders.
Yeah that was a good time haha
Nice one for this project. Hope it's not too far gone thou... best of luck with your choice. Looking forward to this custom truck build.
Thanks, I'm glad that you're looking forward to it!
I like it
I will look forward to watching you restore the C10.
Right on! C10 updates coming soon!
Have to admit. I really enjoy watching you bring these "gems" back from the dead. Considering these were probably destined for the crusher it is great that they have a new lease on life. I just bought a minivan for a camping van that seems to have been one 4 wheel brake job away from being scrapped.. Looking forward to the next installment of "Watch Kyle suffer idiots decisions..." 😉
More "Watch Kyle Suffer Idiots Decisions" coming soon to a theater near you!
Nice tour and update on things.
I had a blast watching you do all that fine bodywork on Scott's Studebaker. In the rain. In the dark. Lol.
Cheers.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Studebaker restoration! The conditions were definitely not ideal haha
Oh I see my truck. The one with the wooden spokes between the army truck and the blue step side bed. Now who in the hell Im I going to get that to Kentucky. How much do they want for it ?
Just rent a Kia and use it to flat tow the thing home haha
On a positive note, maybe the dimmer switch is salvageable?
Dimmer switch revival coming soon! Thanks Philip!
Custom ... cool look forward to seeing your ideas
I thought some of those green Chev/GMC might be a good choice. Then it dawned on me. Chicken truck....... yeah, got to start off with a yellow one. Now I am worried, your logic is making sense to me. lols
Oh yeah there were much better candidates, but I just couldn't pass up the yellow one for obvious reasons! Haha
Always entertaining videos. Thanks for sharing
The new musical accompaniment is very exciting. A real touch of unique class
Haha yeah I'm really trying to class up these videos!
I know I am only one person but I love the work you are doing on the old c10. I personally wanna see you finish it. I love watching your channel. Have learned a lot.
Hi Kevin, I'm glad you're enjoying the C10 project! More updates on that coming soon!
The Bluetooth glass was a definite plus😂!!!
One less thing to remove haha
Good.job. GMC.truck😄👍👍👏👏
thats great discipline only buying one
Haha thanks, it took every ounce of self control to only buy 1
Just can't wait for the Chicken Truck?? saga to begin. I'll definitely be watching. I appreciate your hard work and amazing knowledge of auto repair. I've learned a lot here. Blessings. jerry
Thank you Jerry!
I think of the men that got into these trucks every day to go to work. they had to depend on those trucks to earn a pay day.
If only the trucks could talk, I'm sure they'd have some stories to tell
Get em all, you have em all done by Christmas.
Which Christmas? Haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling year 2123
I remember Vauxhalls like that Velox/Wyvern (6 or 4 cylinders) when they were still on the road as they were produced at the same time I was.
Right on, they are a rare sight over here!
It's a pity that they're so rare now - even here in the UK - as that one looked fairly complete. Trying to find parts would be a nightmare. How about you buy it and add a foot to the width (like they widened the Morris Minor) and turn it into a one-off, absolutely unique, GM truck cab?@@CarterAutoRestyling
Another triumph! I personally enjoy all your videos, regardless of what you're working on, be it rust repair, dents, fabricating stuff. It's all good to me! Now you have to go back for that 58 Pontiac Pathfinder and the black Nash! Those 2 were the coolest in that yard.
Glad you enjoy the show and yes those two were super cool!
