No "Slashed Arteries"... 🤣🤣🤣 I do love how you always say that you are working on "Junk", but then take the time to "metal finish" it... It's Great to see, that you don't just "Cave 'n Pave" (like most of the world does)... Keep up the Great Work... 👍👍👍
Once again, someone the best body work I've seen in a long time! Much appreciate these "knowledge nuggets" you drop. I really like the shorter format with the spotlight on a single repair, it makes it much more digestible for me. Thanks again!!
Love watching you with a hammer and dolley . My dad had mad skill as a body man .loved watching him as a kid . Now he's 86 and still love to watch me work now . But i really like fabrication work, that put me in a happy place. I'm sure you know that feeling.
That's a good approach. When all else fails, set fire to it! The old parts are so much better than the replacements. The care, craftsmanship and details is what people took pride in when building those old vehicles. So glad you're giving this cab a second chance at life. Cheers!
Your work is amazing. Attention to detail and your explanation of the how and why is fantastic. You should be an instructor for auto body repair. Thanks for the awesome videos .
Looks great. I have a truck bed trailer that someone stamped some louvers into the tailgate. They were pretty mangled and I tried messin with them mostly just to see what I could do. Let’s just say, they didn’t turn out as well. They look more like oddly shaped handles now, but they match the ugly of the rest of the trailer. So I guess it worked out ok. Lmao
Sure is nice working with that 40-50's sheet metal. It almost wants to go back in shape. A little hammering and it looks good as new. I recently bought a 48 Ford F3. I knocked all the dents out of it in one short day. Still have rot to fix, but, the dents are gone. Thanks for the video. You got to get those cats off the dope, before they do something really stupid. LOLS. Thanks for the video and the fire!!!!!
You mentioned doing hammer and dolly work on the welded seam below the louvres. i assume that you used MIG. Anytime I used this technique I ended up with a small bead on the inside of the panel (drop thru) which interfered with subsequent use of a dolly on the inside surface. How did you deal with this? I'm assuming that you didn't have access to the rear of the panel to use a small belt sander Thanks, Mike
cracking job on the patch panel /join .which cat is the boss alpha and where do you stand yes mostly on the floor when we had our cat the order me the cat then the misses even when she was the one that fed him keep up the good excellent work
I cannot believe how lousy the replacement louvers look compared to the old originals. They actually looked ragged on the inside edges like they would shave flesh right off if you got your hand up behind them. I watched a video of a fella punching louvers in a sheet of steel and they turned out way better than those, just using a hand die he had made. I prefer your method over all. It saved you a lot of work for the little time straightening them. Plus they look great.
As usual great repair job again . I would like to see more of the work as you do it , maybe run it at high speed like a lot others do . I believe others on here might think the same . We know you think it may not be interesting because you do it all the time and probably right if we had to watch at a slow normal speed . I don't know anything about making videos so maybe there is more work to it i can't see . Anyhow i will watch how ever you put them on .
Thanks. I've been trying to put out extra videos and include more of the repair process, but it takes forever to make videos and I don't make any money off this stuff so unless the channel grows significantly I have to draw the line somewhere
@@CarterAutoRestyling I understand and there is probably more to it than what i know . I have always worked on old cars , build street rods ect. since the 1960s . Still do a little bit but my wife suggested i don't do any videos . She believes i walk around talking to myself in the shop is enough . But putting it in a video with some of the words i use would not be a good idea . Anyhow i will watch your channel when i can . I like the old Chevy sedan you have and pickup . I had a truck like that but sold it . I still have my 35 Chevy Standard sedan street rod .
As always...enjoyed this video. Keep up the great work, i've learned a lot. Question - how did you clean the paint/ rust off the louvers? My '29 pontiac needs the same treatment. Cheers from Ontario. Steve
I remember how everyone used to complain about the quality of Cross Canada's repair panels, until this new crap came, pure garbage, easier to make panels from scratch. When did spoons become slappers, do you know, it's got me stumped. Nice job as always. Did you go into the civilized world for those panels? Be careful in that world. Cheers.
Thanks! The spoon becomes a slapper when I use it as one, sometimes its a pry bar, or a hammer or even a screwdriver haha Any tool can be the right tool!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Thanks for answering an old man, I know you got better things to do, keep your genius commin, no problem watching you tweak the metal. Thanks again. Cheers.
question ? ... if someone were to have already purchased a" Chinese quality louvered panel" ha ha , what would be the time difference in removing the stock panel and "bench working" the original - inside and out , having the connivence of really being able to hammer down on the panel (from both sides) in your time laps , hard to know how much time you spent - what do you think would be the time difference ?
Very nicely done! Or is that well done? Feeling I need the white board, marker and scientific explanation of the spring effect. Just incase you're wondering, I didn't have to look up how to spell scientific. Carry on....
I can guess how the louvers got hit--it was a nimrod lifting the truck with a floor jack, on the downstroke he let go of the handle, it flew upward and hit the truck. That is common with lowlifes working in a garage. Nice repair tho!
Interesting theory, but considering every one of these trucks I have owned has the same damage, I'd say it was caused by a Saskatchewan wind gust blowing the door open.
If you keep doing this level of work to this old garbage truck.. at some point it will stop being an old garbage truck and turn into a prize possession you can't part with. 😎
Now that's a dangerous thought! Good thing I've been cutting a ton of corners off camera, so I won't feel too bad when the time comes to pass it off to an unsuspecting buyer.
First tell us why you're so obsessed with my hair...you do realize this is an automotive channel...or did you get lost while watching make-up and hair tutorials?
No "Slashed Arteries"... 🤣🤣🤣
I do love how you always say that you are working on "Junk", but then take the time to "metal finish" it... It's Great to see, that you don't just "Cave 'n Pave" (like most of the world does)...
Keep up the Great Work... 👍👍👍
I liked the added suspense of having a fire effect. Danger sells.
It sure does haha
"I have no idea what I'm doing here", he says. Yeah, right. Nice job, man. Again.
Yeah I call bullshit on that too 🤣
Haha thanks! (although I still don't know what I'm doing)
Nice work Kyle, although I really would have liked to see you grate some cheese with it before and after to see the difference.
Hmm, a bit heavy for cheese but I'm sure it would be great for slicing up zucchini.
A missed opportunity no doubt! I'll be sure to do the cheese grater test on the next one.
Alan and Poe are great cats. It speaks well of their owner.
Louvers seem to be very challenging! You made it look easy thank you.
Good call on saving the original louvers. Aftermarket is never as good as original. Great save. Keep On Keeping On Kyle! Enjoyed the video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, original is always best where possible!
Another fine fix by Carter the master, beautiful work Kyle
Thanks Jeff!
Good safe Kyle. They don't make louvers like they used to. Then again you never forget your first louver.
Haha thanks Kelly! Safety forced!
Once again, someone the best body work I've seen in a long time! Much appreciate these "knowledge nuggets" you drop. I really like the shorter format with the spotlight on a single repair, it makes it much more digestible for me. Thanks again!!
Thanks, been trying to put out some extra short videos to see if it helps grow the channel....so far no luck with that haha
He fixed dents with fire before. Now he's fixing louvers with fire.
Wizard.
Hi Kyle. Nice work and no blood letting. Amazing.
Love the cats, too.
Thanks Joe! I do enjoy a good fire

Thanks Michael!
Nice job on keeping the original louvers.
I am fascinated, on your metal repairs. I enjoy watching you work. You are very talented! I enjoy your dry humor also. Thank you!
Thanks very much for watching this stuff!
The cab I'm going to be working on and yours are identical twins....now I know how to fix the louvers too....cool... another great video.....
Cool, good luck with your cab, I hope it doesn't stink like mice as bad as mine does haha
Terrific work Kyle!
That's a good approach. When all else fails, set fire to it! The old parts are so much better than the replacements. The care, craftsmanship and details is what people took pride in when building those old vehicles. So glad you're giving this cab a second chance at life. Cheers!
Sometimes I just skip the formalities and go straight to fire. Thanks for watching!
You make it look so easy… master of your Craft!
Thanks!
The greatest metal showman on You Tube! Fire is just the icing on the cake! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, I take that as quite a compliment haha
Thanks, I need to do that on my 53 Chevy 3100. Thank you for your time.
Thank you for watching!
Great work as always Kyle 👍 really love seeing more videos from you lately. Best to you and your cats! 🐈
Thanks, glad your enjoying the extra videos!
Oh Nooooooo!!
Finally !!Something to live for!!
Haha sorry about that!
@@CarterAutoRestyling ❤️❤️🤾🏼♀️🤾🏼♀️
Very nice job as per usual from you. Old parts in bad shape when repaired are certainly better than new replacement parts.
I agree! Thanks
Nice job Kyle
Your work is amazing. Attention to detail and your explanation of the how and why is fantastic. You should be an instructor for auto body repair. Thanks for the awesome videos .
Thanks Doug! I think I'll hold off on being an autobody instructor haha
Great videos Kyle! Here's a couple of bucks for a beverage of your choice
Wow thanks Travis!
Nice work Kyle, I'm with you, keep the original and straighten those louvers out. Time and patience is what it takes, along with some knowhow.
Thanks Ken!
I like this video you made it look easy even though it was probably exceptionally pain staking and emotionally taxing 👍
You straighten those luvars look great I glad you didn't have to use those knock offs great job thanks 👍 😀
Thanks!
Your right those original luvers are superior to those on pach panel. Great job straightening them out👍
Thanks!
I love watching a master at work... oh yeah, love the music -- it sound just like someone hammering :-)
Thanks, the music took 6 months to put together
I love your work and your videos. Greetings from Germany !
Thank you!!! Greetings from Saskatchewan!

I hold the dolly on the front and hammer from the back. I dont like grinding the penetration off a mig weld
Great work👍 love your vids. Looking forward to the next !👌😎
Thanks, I'm glad you like them!

The black and white cat Poe is at the top of the food chain, then the orange cat Allan, then me. Haha

Thanks, it would have taken a lot of work to make the replacement louvers look decent.
Great work as always.
Thanks!
Nice job!
Nice work Kyle. Can you get decent patch panels anywhere?
Thanks Randy, these are actually considered high quality compared to most
That worked nicely! Are those louvers only on passengers side?
Yup!
good work
Good job.
Thank you
Thanks!!!

The rust wasn't too heavy so I just sanded it off with 80 grit
Ok thanks...I'll give it a try
Very nice.
That looked easy!
It was!

I was really interested if it had changed names, man those old guys you worked with really made you edgy.

Took 15 minutes to straighten the louvers, removing the panel and bench working it would add a ton of unnecessary work.
wow ... that's great with the time laps it looked like much much longer @@CarterAutoRestyling
Very nicely done! Or is that well done? Feeling I need the white board, marker and scientific explanation of the spring effect. Just incase you're wondering, I didn't have to look up how to spell scientific. Carry on....
I believe it was well done, cooked the primer clean off haha
I see you like to play with fire and the cats. LOL
Pretty much sums up my life haha

Good thing the tetnus shots are up to date!
NOT a colossal waste of time! A nice original, non-communist, grill! 👍👍
Just an average waste of time then
@@CarterAutoRestyling 😄
I can guess how the louvers got hit--it was a nimrod lifting the truck with a floor jack, on the downstroke he let go of the handle, it flew upward and hit the truck. That is common with lowlifes working in a garage. Nice repair tho!
Interesting theory, but considering every one of these trucks I have owned has the same damage, I'd say it was caused by a Saskatchewan wind gust blowing the door open.

The way those kitty cats look at you they think you are a little crazy or love very much
Probably crazy haha

Louvers from HELL 👹☠️👺
Yup!
Not nearly enough panel rubbing, like the last video. Still great stuff but more panel rubbing please. I may have a problem.
Sorry to disappoint!

If you don't louver, lever.
Sweet, those replacement panel ones were shit.
Yup!
DIVE IN BLINDLY & HOPE FOR THE BEST
Isn't that what you do at marriage???
I wouldn't know haha
A my problem with this is when one makes it look like ones dummmm When Ones not. Dont put on a show, Just be what one is. and just show.
last clip shows how working with louvers can be catastrophic if your not on the ball ! r. nz
Haha it's a dangerous job!
