  • Disclaimer: The information presented in this video is based on my personal opinions and techniques. What works for me may not work for you. There is more than one way to fix a dent, this is just the way I like to do it.
    In this short film I will be repairing a few minor dents in the fender of my 1936 Chevy Truck. I will be showing the steps and techniques to remove a dent without using filler.

      Why would you post a question before watching the whole video? It was obviously a joke. You know, humor....one of those things from the past that most of the world used to have till recently. Geezzzz.... I have watched several of this gentleman's videos in the last few days and I find the amount of good, useful information he is giving FOR FREE is outstanding. I do not understand how a video like this has 64 thousand views but only a 1000 likes? Something wrong with humanity these days.

      Another awesome video Kyle! There's a true to metal work. Some of us got it and some of us don't. This is why body feel came into the world. And that part of the fender that you just done came phenomenally Kyle! I totally appreciate the way you explain how and why you use the tools you do. And how and why you shouldn't use certain tools. Always going to find haters in this World. I wonder how many TH-cam videos the haters put out? Keep up the gray work Kyle some of us do appreciate what you do. I for one will continue watching your videos, either till I can no longer see or until you no longer record whichever one comes first. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes it would have, but the trouble with putting stuff on the internet, is that people who have never worked on a car in their life make a hobby out of finding flaws with other peoples work.

    • @CarterAutoRestyling
      @CarterAutoRestyling  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks! Yes when I have time I want to put together a video on fixing cracked fenders. Someone in the past arc welded mine and made a real mess. I typically don't add reinforcements to cracks. I prefer to just restore the structural integrity to original specs. The constant vibration from driving through fields and rough unpaved roads is what originally caused them to crack, so the odds of a properly repaired fender cracking again under modern driving conditions is slim.
