The Dramatic Conclusion of The Van Project. Plus: How NOT To Use a Bead Roller
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- I've had several viewers ask what happened to the 1967 Gmc van project. Truth be told I never got around to filming an outro for it, although I did finish my part of the project, which was doing the major rust repair and repairing any large dents. I was going through the archives and found a few scraps and outakes from the update that I filmed for the patrons of the channel, so I decided to try and edit them into a "before and after" so you regular viewers can have some kind of closure for the project. I have also included a tutorial on how NOT to use a bead roller. Plus I have an exciting giveaway announcement for when we reach 10,000 subscribers.

Thanks for the "van closure"! Did you say used-car flips? Sweet.... Looking forward to the next adventure!
Unfortunately they aren't even the good kind of used car flips haha
I absolutely loved the smoldering jacket. I watched to the very end just to see if it would burst into flames again. Thanks again for sharing your talents and humor.
Thanks for watching! I wear that jacket with pride!
Is that what they call a smoking jacket?
The Canadian version of Burning Man. Smoldering Man. You totally rebuilt the van. An excellent job. Never thought that it could be saved but you did it. Shows what we are capable of when we put our minds to it.
Thanks, a big part of getting things done is just overcoming the mental roadblocks
"you might hate it too, I don't mind, don't bother me" I love it. I share that sentiment. Kyle you are one of my favorite youtube comedians. Oh and you do some pretty nice metal work also. Thanks for great content.
Thanks Terry! I'm glad you enjoy this stuff!
Right on Terry!
You have my respect for even tackling that. I would have taken one look and disappeared into the hedge.
You are much wiser than I am!
I have a jacket that has been on fire a couple times, first from grinding sparks, second time from welding sparks. Girlfriend hates that jacket, now I won’t part with it! So glad to see someone else has the same fashion sense!
That van was way more than 99% of metalworkers would have ever attempted!! You did amazing work on that! Thank you for letting us see the end result!
Thanks! Always happy to hear from someone else who is dressed for success haha
Thanks for the wonderful metal work videos. They are wonderful with your dry sense of humor. I love the way you did not discuss the smoking elephant in the room at all. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad to hear you enjoy this stuff!
Thanks for the update on the van .it was my favourite I think because you showed how to make so many different shapes . Loved seeing it at the end with all damage repaired.
Thanks Peter!
You really killed it on that van! It's on 🔥.....
Haha thanks!
Nice cameo by the 'diety'. Thanks for showing the van at its conclusion (at least in your shop), very impressive work. Years ago I took a high school sheet metal course but learned more from you in 15 minutes than I ever learned about how to use a bead roller. That might have something to do with the fact that I had the attention span of a nit! Thanks for the always economical refresher.
Hi I'm a body man here in New Jersey for 31 years n I got to say you do real nice work hands down your very good metal work
Thanks David!
The van is simply amazing. Whod ah thunk it could ever be fixed? Your work is very respectable.
Thanks Ed! Unfortunately I'm the only guy around here who answers his phone when unrepairable projects need to be repaired.
License plate floorboard oooh someone is fancy! Had a 64 gmc truck in the 80’s $200 had pizza box floorboards. Manitoba style.
Empty pizza box giveaway is at 20,000 subscribers
Who says smoking jackets are old fashioned? You really do give me inspiration to keep banging on my Rambler. That's not a euphemism.
Thanks, keep banging on that Rambler!
Your metal work is phenomenal.
Even though I like doing metal work and making custom patch panels, I’m way behind you in that skill area! Lol 😅when I first saw this van I thought “no way” would I want to fool with that carcass unless I had some preformed patch panels. She was a holy roller!
I’m finishing up the paint and body on a 73 Dodge that had been patched and restored a couple decades ago, but it had some new areas that started rusting since. So I rebuilt the interior bottoms of three of its doors and patched some on the outside on the body and floor seams, around the rear wheel housings and drivers pan.
At any rate you did some great work on this one and I took away a few more tricks and tips I can use down the road myself! Bravo!
You know you've arrived when your F'ups look that good.
The F'ups turn out better than when I actually try haha
Hi Kyle, I just subscribed. I just finished watching the GMC van series of rust repair. Great metal and fab work. I bet you have a path beaten to your door of people who need that kind of work in Canada. If not they need to come see you for sure. My thanks to Scott at CWM for putting me onto your channel with the filming of you picking up the old GMC truck from him. Thanks also for all the tips and mentoring about how to go about a "proper job" of making panels.....your expertise is there is great.
Hi Clark! Thanks so much for the kind words and for subscribing to the channel!
Mr. Carter, your content is view worthy, as always. Your antics put a new meaning to the word 'Fireman'. Hah, love the deadpan.
Haha thanks for watching!
I can't believe you only have 9k subscribers... this is my favourite of approx 60 channels that I subscribe too . Your attention to detail and workmanship blow my mind ☝👏🙌👌👍👍👍👍
Wow thank you! I never in my wildest imagination would have expected anyone to like this stuff!
You did a fine job on that van. If you dont screw up , then you didnt learn anything. Ive never did body work but, Wow, you killed it man. Beautiful work.
Funny how your "B" roll is better than my best effort body work.. Great job and thanks for taking us along 👍
Thanks for watching!
I'm really bummed about missing the rear corners on the van, I was looking forward to seeing your technique on rounding those corners with the belt line involved 😢, hopefully you get a chance to cover something like that later,
Well free videos tend to be disappointing!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mooch off of you
You just made my rainy Saturday afternoon with another fantastic and entertaining video! Thanks Kyle!!!👍👍👍
Thanks Robert, I'm so glad to hear you enjoy this nonsense!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I don’t just enjoy
it,I love it! The smoldering jacket was your best stunt yet!😂😂😂
@@CarterAutoRestyling when I was a young punk in the 70s I loved Monty pythons flying circus. Somehow your comedy reminds me of them and I like it! And your metal work is outstanding!👍
You made us wait nearly 127 hours to drop this video..
…….worth the wait!!
Keep up the good work.
🤾🏼♀️🤾🏼♀️🤾🏼♀️🤾🏼♀️!!
I'm impressed you were keeping track haha
I always find it amusing when you see other peoples project and how far gone they are. But yet they still put lots of money and time into them, which they will never recuperate......then I walk into my garage and see the same thing .... a project that I could have bought completed and in better shape for a lot less money (and sweat equity). But what fun is that!!!! Keep on wrenching!!! Thanks for the video!!
Haha I'm always happy to hear from someone who suffers from the same illness! Thanks for watching!
Maybe we should start a go-fund-me and get you a firesuit......I really enjoy your videos.....I try to copy what you do but it isn't as easy as it looks.....keep them commin....
What's wrong with the firesuit I have now?
Fantastic work.
I love the old vans.
Cool CAA on the back.
Thanks!
Hey Kyle your jacket is on fire! 😂 The 35 looks like she needs a bath, but it's nice to see some room in the garage. That van was a major project that not too many would tackle for sure.
Thanks for noticing Ken haha. I need to fix the 35 so I can take it for a drive and blow the dust off
Love the smoking pocket! You have my sense of humour for sure! The floor parts with supports / groove shapes are excellent looking Kyle! Maybe up the anti-and sign the back of the license plate, and maybe if you have a sticker for the channel put that on there as well. Hope you’re smoking pocket didn’t make too big of a hole. I would be honoured to win the license plate and would never use it as a patch panel. Hopefully deserving person whoever that maybe is appreciative and keep up the great content! Oh yes, good use of lost footage making this video!
Thanks for the kind words! I think having the plate signed might depreciate its already worthless value. Maybe I'll find some celebrity to sign it haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling Glad I stumbled across your channel Kyle. Love Cold War motors. Me just here in small town Manitoba. Love the skill you guys have! Seen too many "bodymen" that can't do proper metal work. Keep having fun!
Well mate we have all done things like that so don't be hard on yourself, You are on fire mate .... Yes, you really are !
Haha thanks!
Thanks for the update and floor pan bead roll demonstration!
Thanks for watching!
Smokin' good stuff Kyle! Keep it coming!
Haha thanks Glen!
Kyle, Cats, Fire and Metalworking = The greatest garage fabricator You Tube channel on the planet!!! 😆😆😆
Haha wow thanks Glenn!
Not too worry .I am looking forward to your future videos on some of the things you could not cover on this one. Excellent work 👏 👍 👌 thanks
Thanks Curt!
Just subscribed, this van series was absolutely brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to film your work.
Thanks for subscribing!!!
Glad to see there was not a 800 mph wind blowing when your Quill Lake tuxedo was hot item!!
One of the rare days when we didn't have 800mph winds haha
Van welding was awesome ,plus your jacket is smoking hot 👍 I’d use the number plate on my Vw beetle dash as this would cover the hole perfect cheers Andy/uk -vwcoco
Thanks, I'm sure the plate would look right at home on your Vw dash!
@@CarterAutoRestyling yeah you should see the butchery on my dash lol cheers sir , keep at it
Spontaneous combustion? Smoking hot metalworking? Out of the frying pan and into the fire? Strike the iron when it is hot? A real attention getter for sure!!! The metal work on the van truly transforming...I guess people wanted closure with it, wanting to see it completed. Kudos to you for sharing your work. Your smoke signals got your message out into the air: Danger, Will Carter!
Haha thanks for watching, glad the smoke signal message got noticed!
Kyle! I think you're on fire a little bit!!
Smokin'!
Thanks for noticing!
Nice job on that van!! I think maybe somebody left a smudge pot on that old Chevrolet running board. Thanks for takin' us along...
Thanks for watching! I'll do some investigating into the running board situation
Smoldering bones and the ‘35 love it.😊
Haha thanks!
Dean's coming to visit? Put more cat segments in. This video was truly smokin'
Nice work as always, enjoy your sense of humor 👍 loved the smoldering jacket 😆
Thanks, the jacket keeps me warm during our 8 months of winter
Whole new meaning to HOT SEAT....
This is the exact van Handi van, i had rebuilt in high school. I made wooden bumpers front and rear out of oak... It was a rug cleaning van, so you can only imagine the rust, just like that one. It was so nice when i finished it....then one christmas day and vw came to play... I had driven over to the side of the road because freezing rain was on the windshield. I stopped to scrape it and then as soon as i came around to the side , BANG and my van was ten feet forward. The two huge stones that were in the rear for weight went thru the rear doors and landed in the windshield of the VW. hahahaha The guy was unhurt, but my van was totaled by my ins co...next vehicle...
Hahah awesome story! The owner actually had the same van in high school as well and his had wooden bumpers too.
Great work with the bead roller. I have seen people use them but I thought your piece came out pretty dang nice. That body work on the van came out pretty sweet as well. Maybe I am easily impressed but I don't think so. The smoking shirt was classic.
Thanks Greg!
could watch you all day beat the crap outta metal,keep up the good work.
Thanks haha!
Wow, you took the cheese out of “Swiss cheese”!
Outstanding. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
HUH???? Did you say something about a contest? I kept watching the smoke to see if the jacket would burst into flames. So, I really didn't hear too much you said. lols........ Thanks for the video. Really some spectacular work on the van. Man, where do these people park their vehicles at night, in the ocean or what?
Haha well we are land locked here, but being parked in a wet field with no wheels for 25 years does a nice job of replicating the ocean floor
You do some phenomenal work Kyle. I totally enjoy your channel. And your comedy catch me every time. It keeps me coming back between the skill set and the comedy I'm here everybody now. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks very much for continuing to return and watch this nonsense!
I’m not really a cat person, but because of your persistence and determination, I’m becoming more open minded.
You'll come around eventually haha
Kyle That was pretty hot jacket! I think the van was where I live down by the river! Happy Summer Kelly
Thanks Kelly, it was a privilege to remodel your home
I sure hope I win that plate. C’mon 10k!!
I hope you win too!
For a minute I was afraid you were going to give away your smoking jacket. Thanks for the update on the van, it looked like a lot of work. John
I was hoping the smoking jacket was the giveaway! 😆
Me too! ;)
Thanks, unfortunately that jacket is a cherished heirloom so I can't give it away.
I can completely understand that.
So much sentimental (or is that mental?) value.
A good series to watch. Enjoy it. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude I click on channel and your on fire I bust out laughing that was good one...but you done a hell of a job on the van ..injoy all videos
Glad you got a laugh! Thanks for watching!
Probably one of the best intros to a video yet LOL. Thanks for your creative imagination. Also I was anticipating some Saskatchewanian cursing and swearing.
Haha thanks, I ruined my best jacket making that intro!
Never read any comments never had a comment. Up in smoke was cool you are cool the work you do is great. Keep pissin off the want a bee cool and as good as you. Really enjoy your channel
Well thanks for commenting, I'm glad you enjoy the show!
Can't say anything nice or a humorous jab (in good clean fun), don't say anything at all...
I suspect that the duct tape in the bead roller was again, your ultra dry humor. I like that floor corner. Your fender repair videos show me the skill it takes to end up with a nicely finished product. Video triples my workload. How about you ?
The duct tape was a catastrophic oversight on my behalf. You are absolutely right about filming tripling the workload
@@CarterAutoRestyling Understood. Thanks for getting back to me.
Thank you for the video series . I know it’s hard to video and work. I was looking forward to seeing all of the progression from absolute rust bucket to solid metal.
I would love to see more start to finish videos.
Keep up the great work.
BTW Cats are not kewl!! 😂
Looks frickin great
Thanks for the van update. I'm looking forward to more episodes in the future. If I win that sweet license plate...I'll send you a back an equally ''mint'' license plate from my home state.
Awesome, I'll be sure to enter your name twice in the contest!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Sweet...you even get two ✌️color choices .
You did a remarkable job patching that van back up. The owner should paint it to look like a Hand Stitched Quilt and call it Patches.
Thanks, I think Fitzee already had a truck named Patches haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling Actually I know who Fitzee is, he's the King of Butt and Cut. Considering your weather I'm not surprised that a couple of you can preform this kinda of work. Tony is all about simple tools and rebuilding something out of small pieces. In some cases multiple small pieces. Back in the day, you and Tony could have been Henry Ford's right hand men. Way to go Kyle!
I was wondering how long you would sit and smolder. With that van, anything you did was better than what you started with. I just figured you came to your senses and gave up, but then again I enjoy the nonsense. The education is a nice bonus. Keep your stick on the ice. Cheers!
Thanks Heather, I'm a long ways off from ever coming to my senses
I so want that plate, fingers crossed in New Zealand, have a ggood 1
I hope you win, there can't be too many Saskatchewan plates out your way!
Thanks for closing the chapter on the van, Kyle. Your part of the job came out great. I had to bash a bit of sheetmetal yesterday and I was channelling all the inner Kyle I could muster but it still looked like it had been trampled on by a herd of Wildebeest. You were really smokin' tonight!
Thanks Mart! All panels start out looking like they were trampled by wilderbeasts. It's an essential part of the process!
Kyle, I have heard many times, "Smoking is bad for your health".
I really think that cigarettes was what they were referring to.
You have definitely brought a whole new meaning to the dangers of "smoking"!!!
@@glenmccall8854 9 out of 10 doctors agree that smoking is bad
@@CarterAutoRestyling
CORRECT. And the 1 out of 10 is a "Closet" smoker!
I don't know if I have ever seen a GMC van like that from the 60's. I'm 51 and all the vans like that I have seen have all been Chevrolets. The GMC vans I've seen were from the 70's and up and even they were fairly rare.
Thank You Mr. Carter! Your videos are 🔥🔥 No, I don't mean your shirt-jacket!
Haha thanks Wayne!
Love your channel!
Thanks so much for supporting the show!
hahahhaha up in smoke jacket bond style love it . so keep welding with it it to keep you warm .
It will be handy this winter haha
Nice homage to Fenella Fielding in carry on screaming “do you mind if I smoke” 😮💨😂😂 👍🏴
Glad you caught the reference haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling bring back the good old gentlemen smoking jacket 🧥😮💨 👍🏴
The Van turned out great! TH-cam videos with before and after filming, and no real work done, are very popular, which when you think about it.. is a sad commentary on mankind. Well, I gota go... for some reason I'm hungry for smoked ribs. Cheers
We've got to get with the times, less productivity more useless content oh and it's actually "peoplekind"...no wonder you are on the verge of being banned from TH-cam!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I'm in trouble! Send lawyers, guns and money!
Your “how not do” looks better than some of my best efforts. Thanks for another entertaining video, stay smokin’ 🤣
Thanks, still smouldering haha
Wow! The first three minutes. The passion, the fire, the reminiscence, the fire, and the smokin' script! Wow! You, and the planet . . definitely on fire!
Hahah thanks!
Your comedy is right up there with your metal work🤣. Outstanding ! You make me laugh and teach me a lot of good information at the same time. It's helping me when I start the rust repair on my 57 chevy. Kyle, you should make the short drive to Brents and work the fenders on that 46 chevy he just acquired. lol, Cheers from Manitoba
Thanks. I'm sure Brent could have that 46 fixed and ready for the road in the time it would take me to drive out there
Love the videos, especially the injection of humour into them. I just can't help wondering, are you related to Scott Newstead, from Coldwar motors??
That van was toast. I wouldn’t have had patience or skill to rescue that one. Apparently the cats are not cleaning up after themselves and leaving their duct tape everywhere.
Oh yeah it was entirely the cats fault haha
Kyle great job on the Van
Thanks John!
You're smokin Kyle! Good video. I still think you need to restore your jacket again.
It's definitely due for its 3000 mile service
As I have a 40 ford, I like those vids…
We should have some 40 ford fender action in the next video
Thanks!
Thank you Paul!
"I don't think that's supposed to move like that...." 😆
I really don't get those that watch videos only to whine and complain. Personally I've got nothing bad to say, keep up the good work looking forward to see what ever ya share! Thanks
Thanks Kenny!
Every time I see your smoking jacket I'm reminded of my good friend Tommy when His jacket caught on fire while welding. Miss that guy. Rest in peace Tommy Gun. Your skills are amazing! I would have taken one look at that van and said I can't help you buddy. 😖
Your friend sounds like a great guy, sorry for your loss. Thanks for watching the show!
This one was fire!
As the kids say!
Iv'e heard of smoking jackets before, even had a few like that one. You're a trooper.
I had a helluva time trying to get jobs done AND making vids of it. P i t a.
Thanks, yeah I really don't know why I continue to waste time with this youtube stuff
Great as usual!
Thank you!
OMG, I want the SK license plate! 🤩
Haha I hope you win!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Make it so I do! 😉
NICE!!!
Constantly using my best efforts to emulate you and your EXCELLENT work. And I'm not exactly sure why I need to do this but please explain the methods you use for setting your cloths on fire?
I use a butane torch, or just aim grinding sparks at myself
Thanks for the skits pretty funny ! Thanks for your great work! JW
Thanks Jerry!
1 subscriber closer to 10k. talented and funny. I'm in.
Hi, thanks for watching and subscribing!!!
Great job. I really enjoy your vids. How about welding a T handle on your bead roller bolt. Make your life easier.
Yeah that's been on the to do list for the past 10 years
Wow you turned a rat house into a cat house turned out great Kyle 👍
Thanks, although I don't think my cats will be moving in any time soon haha
Thank you. I did enjoyed your video!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it
Where there's smoke, there's rayon. 🤣
Very true!
Aww...cute kitty!
Yup!
Kyle you are on fire!
Thanks for the heads up haha
