- Hey we are finally getting started on the 1948 Gmc Truck! In this video I'll be knocking a big dent out of the rear fender. I decided to film the first half of the repair in real time for the people who like that kind of thing, so feel free to fast forward if you don't! We will also be announcing the licence plate giveaway winners. As always, thanks for watching and I hope you're looking forward to the 48 gmc project as much as I am!

I watch repetitive banging on dents--I find it fascinating.. I never learned to do it as a kid so I find it interesting now that I'm old. I'm still learning at this late stage.
I think we all do gym... We might need professional help! 😆
Glad to hear you're still learning!
Your work never ceases to amaze me. I'm glad to see that Allen has survived the horrendous squishing that Poe inflicted on him. Thank you for your time.
Thanks! I'm pleased to report Allan has made a full recovery!
Yay! GMC work! One dent at a time. One patch at a time. One major rebuild at a time. It all gets done in the end. All the best. Mart.
All part of the fun of working on these old junkers eh? Thanks Mart!
Right there at 4:05 that's as good as most other channels get it, get out the bondo. Not this expert, watch what he does with it, Cheers Kyle, you da man.
Thank you sir!
I enjoy the way you present and narrate your videos, entertaining and informative. I smile while learning something.
Agreed.
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say!
That when fenders were made ! Not like today's junk ! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Woo Hoo! I'm a winner!! Thanks Kyle, I'll hang that license plate in my shop and I'll include it in my next videos. Great work on the fender, I've learned a lot from you and I appreciate your work. I just wish you lived closer so you could help me on my truck, ha! Take care and thanks again.
Thanks Ken! The plate is on its way!
Keep up the great work the truck is going to look awesome
I think this is the first time I haven't seen you on fire. Your skill to read the metal and see what needs to happen is an amazing talent. That thick old metal is a challenge. Thank you for sharing another great video. Cheers!
Thanks Heather! It was tough doing an entire video without spontaneous combustion!
I think you have confusion. I watch your channel to see every minute of metal repair your willing to share. It does not get tedious, its what your viewers want to see.
Longer videos are better videos in my opinion!
Thank you for making this content!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy watching all the details!
Love your humor. Learning a lot watching you work it. Very talented and patient.
For a brief moment there, I was despairing of the lack of fire in the video,
My prayers are answered.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Glad you got your fix haha
That was Mesmerizing Tap Tap Tap. Its like a Woodpecker Tapping Away.
Haha thanks!
Kyle, GREAT VIDEO.
Working on old vehicles is NEVER even close to boring or repetitive.
I love every minute of it.
If I see the metal move just a fraction, I get crazy excited!!!
Conducting seminars on dinosaurs all over the country has kept me totally out of the garage.
But watching you helps ease the pain. Have not even seen my '36 Packard, this summer. Only seen the '37 Packard and that was for only 15 minutes.
Kyle, you don't happen to have rear fenders for a '37 Packard, do you?
Thank you so much for the video, it really is appreciated. - Glen
Thanks Glen! The dinosaur seminars sound fascinating! As for the fenders, there's not much for Packards in Saskatchewan, it's mostly all low end base model vehicles.

Kyle, have you kept abreast of the fantastic archeological activity in the upper reaches of Canada. As the ice pans, not glaciers, are melting, ancient artifacts are being exposed. The territory North of you is where all the excitement is taking place.
This is my all time favorite vehicle. Dream car status for me.
Thanks, glad you like these old trucks too!
I learn something with every video that I watch.
I'm glad to hear that!
Guess i'll have to hang something else in the spot on the garage wall I spent all afternoon cleaning up for .....enjoy the what you call boring parts ..... I find them therapeutic and satisfying ..... learn something everytime I watch ..... like your format ..... keep 'em comming .....
Sorry you wasted your time Joe! Better luck in the next contest! At 10 billion subscribers I'll be giving away gold bars.
"Just layers and layers of disappointment..." 😆 Life itself personified by a battered old truck fender😌 Thanks for another very impressive upload...
Haha well said!
Kyle, when you get back to welding and fabricating, you might think about creating some sort cage or barrier to protect that portion of the fender from the evil cosmic forces
Unreal, Kyle! It's easy to tell from the video that the truck is quivering with excitement from receiving this much attention.
I think the shaking is just all the mice and squirrels being uprooted from their home haha
You can't beat a cat's charisma and showmanship w/fender pounding. Felines take the cake. Meow...Thanks for sharing boss man.
Thanks Matthew, the cats always steal the show!
Smoothest part in the entire truck now .
Haha, not as smooth as the bald rear tire
@@CarterAutoRestyling that might be an original 1950s one of one slick, a HOOSIER prototype. Could be very valuable
I think I would of been at the end of my skill at about the three minute mark.
Good job.
Thank you!
On such a rusty rig, a good encouraging place to start at is where the metal is. The downside of this approach is now that noise has been made, the fight has begun, so you're committed.
Haha good point! I had a hard time even finding any metal to fight with on this one
I like this video. Fun to see the 48 getting started. I would still like to know where I can get the Yukon Fast Food T shirt. It makes me laugh. I'm watching Itchy Boots travel trough the Yukon right now, and she sees plenty of bears. Thanks Carter.
Thanks! My dad bought the shirt for me when he was up there a few years back. A quick google search and nothing comes up, so it looks like you'll be taking a trip to the Yukon haha
Thanks for showing all of your work on that dent. That is what we come to see. Great work !!!
Thanks for watching!
Whiskey dent.
Been anxiously waiting for you to work on this truck that you got from cold war motors
Yeah I've been looking forward to it as well!
Good to see you back again (trouble with the local authority?) although I didn't watch the last video because there is no way on earth I am ever going to mig weld. Or beat out large dents so why did I ... I guess it's always good to see a masochist at work. Excellent job!
Thanks, I'm glad you could still watch despite this content having nothing of value haha
thank you Kyle I am working on a 55 second series truck that old metal sure is tough. you have amazing patients and know how. God bless all you do
All these years I’ve been doing it wrong. I’ve been holding the hammer in my right hand. 😂
The Artist is the lefthandside worker, often!
I'm lefthanded too and my workmanship isn't that good!😆
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
@@deuceman32 😂
Well now you know haha!
I really enjoy the channel and am picking up tricks to use on my 1966 K10. I’d love to see a video on tailgate repair. Specifically pulling out all of the old dents.
Another fine video, it's tough when there have been multiple repairs! I've convinced myself after a long debate with myself you are not doing these videos just to show me how I did things wrong but to improve any future repair work I do hahaha
Thanks Kenny! The old repairs are always a challenge to work around
Congratulations Ken. Good dent removal Kyle. That went better than I thought it would.
Thanks Randy!
Missed some of the interesting music you usually add to the parts you think might be too long or boring! (Were no boring parts anyways) Congrats to Ken for winning the licence plate! Also, thanks Kyle for showing us how to use that prize picker.
Thanks, the music department really dropped the ball on this one!
Kyle did you get a drum set when you were a kid? Got a bit of a rhythm going there😃👍🏴
As a child I was forbidden from listening to or playing music, bashing on fenders is my way of rebelling against my parents.
Haha
I like the real time work you do it shows more details for me great video thanks 😊
Thank you!
I subscribed for the tedium. Not disappointed!
Glad you're getting your subscriptions worth! Haha
Thanks for the upload and best wishes from Columbus Ohio USA
Thanks, all the best to you as well!
Gutted I missed out on the number plate draw as no notification came through :( but atleast I seen the work on the fender , so winner there 👍
At least you got a small win haha, better luck next time!
You are certainly entertaining and resourceful. Maybe you can let us know how far you will be going with this old girl. I love it. It's always a pleasure. Stay well. Rich from NJ/USA
Thanks Rich! How far I take it is going to depend on how well the videos do. At the bare minimum I want a rust free cab and possibly running/driving
You did a great job on that fender. I can see body work if what you are really good at. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
That dodgey frankers 🐕got you good on that deal it looks great . Cheers mate 🇦🇺
She sure did haha! Thanks Peter!
Your skills never fail to impress and inspire me with my projects 👍👍👍
That's great to hear!
That fender looks soo nice!
Thanks!
I finally figured our your video format and messaging. They always demonstrate three things. They clearly show your skills with metal work, your love for cats and the fact that in your previous life you were related to Hephaestus. The later will come back and bite in the ass one day because if your garage is anything like most DIY'ers watching here. Intentionally having an open flame in our garages (especially on the floor) is a recipe for disaster. Thanks for the great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Recipe for disaster sounds tasty!
Well I’m glad you’re back! I was wondering if you quit doing the TH-cam there for a week or two. I’m glad you didn’t quit. Hope you’re having a good day!
Thanks, I hope you have a great day too!
25:08 I was thinking that I need to get myself a Bullseye pick but I couldn't think of the name of it and nothing that I stumbled across on Amazon suggested anything that I was looking for so I combed through back videos and sure enough right here in this part of the video you're showing tools.
Thank you. You are always teaching us (or at least me) a lot.
Glad to hear that!
Making it look too easy,, nice!
Thanks!
Nice workmanship! Can't wait to see more! Thank you!
Thank you!
As usual a fine example of how to correctly do body work, great job on that fender Kyle. Cheers for Michigan
Thanks, I'm not sure any of this is correct, but it gets the job done
Awesome work… again! The art of metal working is so endangered!
Thanks for sharing!!
Keep posting
looking good
Some of us had never seen, a Christmas Miracle before. Be well.
This one's more like a Christmas disaster haha
Here your one of the gifted ones on you tube,I'm somewhat older,but I wish to could of done what you do when I was there,I always try to better my best , better yet,till I better it better best
You my friend, are an artist! Much respect for you and your skills.
Thanks Eric!
This was probably not the worst repair to do. The really bad ones from my own experience are if someone had tried tr to fix rockers and ending up twisting the body in a way that doors will never latch properly or there are huge gaps everywhere. Happens when people weld or cut without putting proper support frames inside the cab or body.
Oh yeah, people absolutely destroy vehicles with their "fixing"
Kyle,
You do amazing work!
So glad Scott from CWM's recommended your channel.
Thanks! I'm so glad you decided to watch this stuff!
Awesome repair work there.
Thank you!
Made that dent disappear nicely. You're the David Copperfield of metal work 😁
Congrats to Ken, that's one cool license plate. I guess I'll put the frame away I haven't yet started building, and save it for another drawing you probably never do 😁
Sorry you went to all that trouble and didn't win! Better luck in the next contest I don't have haha
Great job and video, you are the man!
Stripping is a serious business . Next thing you'll be passing the plate for table dancers
Life goals!
Great body man and apparently a fire bug .
Haha thanks! I'm a full time firebug, the bodywork thing is just a side gig
My brother in law's family had a shop and on Saturday's their dad used to work and this is the kind of work he did sometimes when he was in a good mood he would let me watch I am just as amazed watching you. My brother in law was the painter and made it look so easy like his dad made body work look.
That would have been great to watch! Painting is something I've never been able to figure out
@@CarterAutoRestyling I lost my brother in law and have been trying to do my own paint and body for about 10 years the body work is improving but still use way to much mud, I don't know if I will ever paint something once. I started with 50 feet 50 mph and I am down to 10 feet 10 mph for final job but the kind of body work you do is out of my league for sure. People with your skill amaze me because I have been trying for years to fix just one dent the way you do. I can't tell you enough how much respect I have for your skills
It's amazing how you were able to work out that dent in a relatively short time and make it nice and smooth. I can't wait to see how you tackle the rest of the truck.
Thanks, I hope you enjoy the series on the rest of the truck!
The dent's perspective is of little consequence Kyle... It's going to submit to your demands whether it likes or not! 😆 Smashy-Smashy!
Oh the key to beating your enemy is to look at things through their eyes
Once again brilliant work. When I see it done it's like monkey see monkey do. Please keep this content coming
Thanks!
My first truck was 51 Chevy pick up. I love what you are doing with this 48.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great work as usual. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
I’m so happy to see you back. I was about to call your mom and find out what you were doing. 😂
Great video as always. Thank you.
Thanks for looking out for me Steve! Haha
Very nice job young Man, you are very good at working the old sheet metal.👍
Thank you!
When working disasters like that, I found its easier to strip the panel and smooth the surface out first. Then you have good, clean, uniform, easy to see metal to work.
Wow, this one came fast! I was expecting that the new video will be out after week or two. Good stuff again!
👍👌👏 Very well done again.
Best regards luck and health to all involved life forms (human and cats). ;-)
Awesome true picking
Thanks!
Nice job. I was the 420th like, lol.
Decent!
Молодец, всё просто и доходчиво без лишних слов .
Thank you!
Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself:
"I'm *not* working the whole fender. . ."
He'll go back and work the whole fender.
Nahh, I need to pick my battles on this one haha
The difference between how much filler material you need is how willing are you to work the dent to perfection. If you put the time and effort into bending out the dent until it is smooth and flush, you don't need any filler materials. Just some high fill primers will suffice... Thumbs Up!
Good to know, thanks!
Nice job on the dent. I've seen 2 old Chevrolet pickups for sale around here, a 48 and a 50. I don't know where people are finding these.
Thanks! Every time I think they are getting scarce a few more come out of the woodwork
Another great vid!
Another good video. Thanks!
Thank you!
Apparently this fender wasn’t struck by lightening because it looks like it was struck in the same place more than once. On the other hand, you’ve had to strike it repeatedly in order to bring it back in shape. As usual, your work is amazing.
Thanks! There must have been a target painted on it
Aí sim hein também queria uma..
Parabéns a quem ganhou 👏
Great video and wow did that turn out nice!
Thanks!
Well done, sir. Always a learning experience.
Thanks!
I noticed a red white and black thing on your wall. From your time learning the good stuff. A friend has one very similar in his garage.
Growing weary of this unsightly blemish. That's almost poetic !
Almost...haha!
Great video!
Thanks Paul!
Whackadoo!
Unbelievable job!
Thanks!
Yay! ANOTHER noisey fender repair! 🙄 At 7:00 the damage looks like a bear!
outstanding work... greetings from oklahoma
Thanks Tom!
I can't believe you gave my license plate to someone else! 😲 Will there be another draw at 11,000??
Sorry, but I'll be doing another draw for a suitcase filled with cash at 11 million
@@CarterAutoRestyling Hmmmmm, NOT holding my breath. 😐
Next time try sand blasting the filler out of the old repair. I either do that or take a torch to it.
Nice work on the truck
Easy fix. I would push it out with a potopower. Start on the outside of the dent and work toward the center.
What's a potopower?
My dad had a few saying. Two that come to mind here in your video. It is all how you hold your tongue. You need to get a bigger hammer. You do great things buddy.
All I ever had to fix dents, was a 2x4 and a claw hammer.. LOL
This is not a real challenge for this guy! This is like eating Wheaties for breakfast of sipping a mint julep in the afternoon. But the 'extra' previous filler presented a bit of intrigue in the plot.
More intriguing plots to come haha
