Thanks Kyle. Your previous projects helped me along as I tackled the rust repair on my ‘50 Chevy pickup. Channels like yours give the average person the confidence to take on what at first seems unattainable. Keep up the awesome work.
Nice work with the "Hack," saving older vehicles and getting it done, strong and permanent repair. People who don't think it should be done watch too many TV restoration shows and have unfinished projects out in the garage. That looked WAY easier than repairing the metal headliner, A pillars and roof. Like on my 62. ;)
I do not weld, I have never worked metal, I probably never will. But I love cars, so find this channel and the metal working you demonstrate absolutely fascinating. Thanks!!
I loaded up the old trebuchet with lots of rock messages and did a town wide postal drop for you. I hope you receive many excited new viewers. great video 2x👍
Mary doesn't care about the restoration but she stayed up for the whole video to see Allen and Poe. Joseph napped. It's really nice the way you explain the chess game of repairing these old trucks. I had a girlfriend once that actually painted herself into a corner. She was hot so there's that. Thank you for your time and effort.
Thanks for the laugh with the painted in a corner story! My new mission is to see if it's possible to achieve something similar with the 48 rust repairs.
I did the rock through the living room window of my neighbor and about an hour later a rock came through my living room window telling me to watch “Carter Auto Restyling.” So I think I gained you a new viewer, either that or my neighbor was getting even for busting his window.
Thanks for posting Kyle I have been fixing rusty junk in New England for almost 50 years. You do good work. Those mirrors were called west coast mirrors at the GMC dealership I worked at in the 70.s
This old GMC is definitely in the right hands. The replacement panels don’t quite fit but you can make them fit which saves time and energy. Loved your take on Resto-Mod and TH-cam ripoffs.
"And for those of you who don't like the taste of prison food........." This is exactly what our '53 Dodge is going to need. You have provided great instruction. Thank you! Cheers!
I didn't throw a rock through my neighbor's window, but I have spread the word about your channel on the car forums I frequent. Thanks for the excellent content.
The Master, knows what it takes to make things better than new... He has to have multiple hand tools......He works so fast He needs time to alow them to cool and can use another tool...keep it up....
Hey Carter, when I bought my 64 F100 I hauled it home on two trailers. It has last been titled 30 years ago. Lots of starts and walk aways. The frame is solid and straight which is the only thing going for it. The rear cab mounts were still intact but the front cab and radiator support mounts were gone. I leveled the frame front to back and side to side and started with the front cab mounts and floors. I looked at replacement pieces but figured I could do a better job myself. There was enough rusty crap left that I got pretty close on the heights. I used the door gaps to set the height of the cab and then the height of the radiator support. It wasn't until I rebuilt the entire box support system that I could eye ball the body lines from front to back. The thing I don't like is that the body line doesn't seem to follow straight through to the front of the truck. If I maintain the door gaps the fender line rises toward the front. As I don't have access to a original truck I have to go by the door gaps. I've done three jeeps (72, 74 and 79) and bought windshield frames and front fenders and the quality was crap. On one windshield frame the wipers wouldn't work because the wiper arm hole spacing was off. The one arm wanted to over swing and then flip backward in the arc and jam. As you said they typically need work . Thanks for the great videos. I look forward to each one. Always learn something!:)
Thanks Kyle. Good for a laugh, good for education. Keep up that desert-dry commentary (even that's sardonic, given 'Saskatchewan'..) True belly laughs even the rants are useful. Comment and like folks! Lets support 'Carter Auto Restyle' and his nefarious adventures.
Great work Kyle! Nice to see how to use the prefabbed patch panels. They do save time, as long as they are close to the original. Sure looks nice when you get everything installed. Look forward to further progress!!👍
Sincerely enjoyed the rant about TH-cam and short comings of `restoration' videos. The realistic format of yours can't be questioned. Thankyou for your continued struggles. It's always good to watch skill mixing with humility.
I have a 49 chevy pu ( got as a "basket" ) that I just replaced that section using the bottom of a school desk that had the beads already in it, The beads have different spacing; and I don't have a bead roller, but I rebuilt the lower cowl piece to match beads. Thanks for all your videos!!!
Nice work. Hey, I've got a jacket almost as stylish as yours. The most stress-free piece of clothing I own. I don't care if it gets dirty, torn, or holes burned it. Perfect.
Thanks to some of what I learned from your videos I made a patch for the gas tank corner on my 37 Pontiac. I was doing the poor-mans shrinking method, and it worked but was very slow. Then I shrugged and said "it's just a gas tank" and cut out some pie slices and welded it. Still much to learn but appreciate the time you're taking to provide educational content!
Another great video!!! I've found some of the best in depth, actually SHOW something useful, u-toob channels are the ones which take awhile to 'gain traction'. I'm subscribed to a few where the contents is not all 'hocus pokus' and gets to the actual work... (without all of the glam, new tools, multi-camera 'flash').... THIS is what I'm interested in. I've also started watching videos, subscribed to different channels because of their content, and over time they tend to lose the root of what brought me in to watch.... I then unsubscribe because they start going into the 'black hole' (IMHO) of 'Hollywood production style videos with panning, zoom in, zoom out, overdubbed music...etc, etc. I DON'T expect a channel I enjoy to watch and glean knowledge from, to ONLY show what I'm interested in, everyone has different interests and hobbies, and I don't mind watching an occasional variation....BUT it's difficult for me to hold interest in 'all sizzle, no meat' type of presentation. Your methods AND explanations are WHY I subscribed. You have a vast amount of experience when working on this (and other older tin) style and vintage of truck. You know WHAT and WHERE the problem area are, and share them with your audience. For this, I thank you.
Thanks for the kind words Russ! I don't think there is any danger of this show becoming overproduced or flashy. I'd rather invest in the projects themselves than fancy recording and editing equipment.
As always, another great video Kyle. Looking forward to seeing her completed. I appreciate the way you explain what an why you do what you do. Your videos always keep me riveted. Always look forward to seeing the next video! Love the channel an knowledge you share Kyle. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Doubt you remember my comment from the first louvre repair video, but after you lost patience with trying to save them is what my trailer looked like when I got done. LoL
Yes I am of the opinion that you save on work any way you can to come up with the desired result is fine. No sense in killing yourself making it absolutely factory when a hack will do. Thanks for the great video.
Really getting crazy now Kyle " rustorod " love it. Called west coast mirror's down here in the lower 48. Deluxe heater delete plate proper terminology!! Lol great video Kyle
Love watching this cab come together. I like the different repairs that you have done on the project. Probably back in the day those trucks were never fixed or repaired as well as they are today. I am almost 76 years old and when I was a kid those trucks were just tools that you would modify to keep using it to preform their job and replaced if to much trouble to fix. . A+++ channel
Thank you! All the old repairs I've dug out of these trucks were pretty crude by today's standards, although sometimes it's impressive how much effort they put into fixing an old work truck.
@@CarterAutoRestyling hey carter these people want body technicians they have years of work scheduled ,urgently needed talented old tin specialists "the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Co. " see nobodys show latest video on youtube
The panel you did and the way you did it will undoubtedly help alot of people with there own restoration your experience will save people much time and trouble thank you 😊
Sure wish iIwere closer to you, so I could mabey help you on some projects. Or at least get in your way. Love the tips and tricks that making panels work requires. Thanks again.
Great content, yeah patch panels can be a pain and I usually just use a portion of the panel and attempt to keep as much of the original metal as possible. keep up the great work.
Just came across your channel and I am really enjoying it! Very informative as I'm not very good at sheet metal work but have '51 Buick that I need to replace floors and rockers on. Watching your work is giving me some confidence in trying some of this stuff myself, Thanks! By the way I like to refer to it a "restoruin"!!
Always enjoy the technical content, for those of us that don’t have all the metal working tools it’s nice to see ways to make the store bought parts work . Keep up the good work!
I had a thought about acquiring sheet metal for the 48 GMC. First, put together your basic time machine, set it for roughly Armistice Day. Once in the correct place in the time-space continuum, acquire a large lunch bucket and infiltrate the GMC truck plant. Take home all the needed panels "One Piece at a Time," Johnny Cash style.
Brilliant plan, plus your generous donations have enabled me to invest in a quality second hand time machine that just needs minor rust and dent repair before it's ready to break the space/time continuum
Never really figured out why some videos on a channel Do better. I like the content maker and anything they do I’ll generally watch if I have the time. Welding, hammering, cutting, shaping or complaining , I’ll take it all
No problem I enjoy your commentary! And your sense of humor! Plus I learned some thing every time I watch so thank you. I appreciate you and your time!
just had a rock thru my window and had to find out what's up, not sure where in Canada you are but its bloody cold now thanks a lot! subscribed in hopes it doesn't happen again.
@@CarterAutoRestyling No thank you been binging on your content since I found your channel I like your thinking more discretion than Chad less anal than Fitzee
Another good video. As a purist I must express my disdain for going full radical custom on this truck. The seal strip was barely tolerable but welding up that unused heater hole is bordering on intolerable. What's next - Lambo doors? Twelve volts? Non- Delco spark plugs? In protest I'm making a custom video using stolen footage - of the cats. It will be a custom cat video. I will get dozens of views, the proceeds from which I will purchase a stamp. I will affix the stamp to a firmly worded letter to my neighbor telling them to subscribe to the channel. I will then affix said letter to a rock and toss it through their window.
Seeing that you're going to the effort of purchasing a stamp, surely the idea would be to place the letter with affixed stamp in your neighbour's mailbox, which you could then toss through their window?
@@Bigsinglecoils this would be the ideal solution but my street has no mailboxes. unless you mean post it in one of the large ones you see on corners. I reckon I could throw that through their window but I'm not supposed to lift anything that heavy.
I know I recently bought a patch panel for the cab corner of my 1979 F-150. It's a compound curve with some body lines, overall pretty tricky. I actually made one myself that looked perfect, but when I tried to weld it in, I blew through everything around it. The patch panel was only $14, and although it's a bit thinner (20ga steel,) it's adequate.
Great tips on this one too, mate. I thought you were going to de-spot weld the outer louvred panel, straighten it up and then get the A-pillar to line up with the edge of it, but nope. I guess the way I describe could also lead to the stretching of the louvred panel (as it returns to somewhere near where it should be) possibly causing issues with the A-pillar line-up, so I learn something again...and it makes sense. You're right about the doors and their fitment in that era too - it's the same with the likes of the Mini - even a MkIV version like I have. No two cars were put together exactly the same way as there was still a lot of human involvement in the assembly, so doors, guards (fenders), sills (rocker panels), bonnets (hoods) and roofs (roofs) on one car will not necessarily line up perfect on a different one without some tweaking. Same with repro panels - and even the so-called "Heritage" panels are not always perfect, although you pay the premium for them to be...but also 40+ years of a car's life before any serious restoration work wouldn't have anything to do with it being a few millimetres out here or there either, would it...... That door fit pretty damn good. I was looking at it with a critical (perfectionist's) eye and also noted the door gaps at either end, but to make the vertical lines identical would require the A-pillar to be played with more and unless the latch didn't work, it's not worth the faff because it would take ages for little actual benefit. At the end of the day, if she opens and closes sweet and without hitting things, the door seal will take care of the rest....and as you say, if you make it 'too perfect', people are going to know..... Love the sound of those big truck doors too - such a solid "choonk" as they slam home. Dad had a '48 Bonus and I can still hear every sound that thing made - from the squeak of the seat springs on the passenger's side to the starter on the flathead V8 and the straight cut whines of the crashbox.....and even the wheeze of the single vacuum-operated wiper. This 48 GMC your building is on MY side of the fence though, so I am looking forward to watching it slowly come together. Thoroughly enjoying the series, mate. She's already looking better than she was. All the best
Thanks Lance! I enjoy the sound of old truck doors too, you can tell what kind of truck it is just by listening to the doors closing, they all have a distinctive sound.
Thanks Kyle. Your previous projects helped me along as I tackled the rust repair on my ‘50 Chevy pickup. Channels like yours give the average person the confidence to take on what at first seems unattainable. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks so much Ron! I'm glad to hear that these videos have been helping with your '50 rebuild!

That looked WAY easier than repairing the metal headliner, A pillars and roof. Like on my 62. ;)

I'm sure your neighbor will get over it and eventually thank you for the channel recommendation haha
Thanks for posting Kyle I have been fixing rusty junk in New England for almost 50 years. You do good work. Those mirrors were called west coast mirrors at the GMC dealership I worked at in the 70.s
Thanks Bob! Yeah I should have done some research on what they were called before I made the video!
This old GMC is definitely in the right hands. The replacement panels don’t quite fit but you can make them fit which saves time and energy. Loved your take on Resto-Mod and TH-cam ripoffs.
Thanks Dave! The replacement panels are definitely better than starting with nothing!
Kyle I throw the rock because your videos rock. Now I just have to remember to write your note for my neighbour on the other side!
"And for those of you who don't like the taste of prison food........." This is exactly what our '53 Dodge is going to need. You have provided great instruction. Thank you! Cheers!

I know I recently bought a patch panel for the cab corner of my 1979 F-150. It's a compound curve with some body lines, overall pretty tricky. I actually made one myself that looked perfect, but when I tried to weld it in, I blew through everything around it. The patch panel was only $14, and although it's a bit thinner (20ga steel,) it's adequate.
The last 79 f150 I owned had cab corners made of spray foam so it sounds like you're doing pretty good!
Thanks for the great video's, you are very skilled and make it look easy even though I know it's not easy.
Thanks Jon, I hope these videos will inspire more people to tackle these jobs themselves. Anyone can do it with a little patience!
Excellent as usual!!!
Thanks!
Great video. Your shop looks like mine!
Great minds think alike haha
Great tips on this one too, mate. I thought you were going to de-spot weld the outer louvred panel, straighten it up and then get the A-pillar to line up with the edge of it, but nope. I guess the way I describe could also lead to the stretching of the louvred panel (as it returns to somewhere near where it should be) possibly causing issues with the A-pillar line-up, so I learn something again...and it makes sense.
You're right about the doors and their fitment in that era too - it's the same with the likes of the Mini - even a MkIV version like I have. No two cars were put together exactly the same way as there was still a lot of human involvement in the assembly, so doors, guards (fenders), sills (rocker panels), bonnets (hoods) and roofs (roofs) on one car will not necessarily line up perfect on a different one without some tweaking. Same with repro panels - and even the so-called "Heritage" panels are not always perfect, although you pay the premium for them to be...but also 40+ years of a car's life before any serious restoration work wouldn't have anything to do with it being a few millimetres out here or there either, would it......
That door fit pretty damn good. I was looking at it with a critical (perfectionist's) eye and also noted the door gaps at either end, but to make the vertical lines identical would require the A-pillar to be played with more and unless the latch didn't work, it's not worth the faff because it would take ages for little actual benefit. At the end of the day, if she opens and closes sweet and without hitting things, the door seal will take care of the rest....and as you say, if you make it 'too perfect', people are going to know..... Love the sound of those big truck doors too - such a solid "choonk" as they slam home. Dad had a '48 Bonus and I can still hear every sound that thing made - from the squeak of the seat springs on the passenger's side to the starter on the flathead V8 and the straight cut whines of the crashbox.....and even the wheeze of the single vacuum-operated wiper. This 48 GMC your building is on MY side of the fence though, so I am looking forward to watching it slowly come together. Thoroughly enjoying the series, mate. She's already looking better than she was.
All the best
Thanks Lance! I enjoy the sound of old truck doors too, you can tell what kind of truck it is just by listening to the doors closing, they all have a distinctive sound.
I had to do the inner cowl, outer cowl and middle cowl? 55 series 1 chevy 3100
Definitely a learning experience, but I got them done
Great to hear! With a little determination anything is possible!
Learnt so much, thanks for sharing. You are the real deal!
Thank you!
