As a kid, all I ever wanted to be was an Auto Body Fender man, but, NO, I just had to go to college instead. So, after EIGHT years in college, I got a master's degree in Russian language and entered the Army as an Intelligence Officer. I got stuck there for twenty five years and finally retired. I'm now 65 years old, fully retired and NOW, I wanna' be an Auto Body Fender man!!!! Your video is incredible and I am determined to buy a hammer and dolly set and an English Wheel and start smashing my fingers. Thanks so much for your incredible video!
Oscar Wilde said “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", you are the best traditional bodyman on YT by far, so forget the Facebook guys even exist.
Ha ha, the Log Driver's Waltz is a classic!! I loved the explanation of "how long does it take", well said. Very cool how well that tucking fork works, simple and effective.
I've done it with layers of masking tape but this part is excellent no matter how he got there. The 'imposter' thing has to be most frustrating. What next?
Every time I start to gain confidence with my fabricating abilities I watch a video like this and realize how unskilled I truly am lol. Thank you for showing us how a true craftsman works!
Never would have thought about the fact that shaping from one side or the others would make a difference. Your explanation was both eye opening and concise.
I won't be able to sleep until you get it welded in. (No pressure) Really enjoying your work. The trolls on FB and InstaG are a sad comment on our society.
Thank you Kyle for sharing your insights and skill with the rest of us sad bastards. I hope to someday put some of your lessons to practice. I tip my hat to you Sir!
I'm glad you speed up the video of all your hard work and I learned a lot from your hard work and love the fact your saving these great Joys, Thumbs Up again and hopefully many more?...
A bit late to the party on this one but I just wanted to thank you. The 2 templates to determine your approach is genius. As is reading the overlaps in the paper. Never seen it explained so well. Cheers, enlightened.
Wow, really got a lot out of that. Probably going to be loosing sleep waiting for the Wire edge procedure.(not kidding). Sorry to hear about your grief, hope it doesn't get you down. And AGAIN ! (someone makes it bad for everyone) Thank You. Keep on Tucking.
Excellent patch ... master job ... and yes I would like more content on finishing the fender ... I'd probibly try to use your videos to make a buck but I couldn't replicate your dry sense of humor ... keep makin em and I'll keep watchin them ...
Thanks Kyle! How long did it ta...WHACK! Okay, I'll show myself to the door. Bang up job on that patch panel, looking forward to you sending it home. Sorry about the Facebook and Instagram garbage. I don't do those either else I'd go put a report in, thanks to the folks who have!
Your video production is improving Kyle. Your quips and sense of humor is coming through. I appreciate how you speed up for the repetitive areas - and your voice-work is more focused and to the point.
I'm still partial to the turn the fender into one giant weld look. It's authentic farmer. That was cool to see that piece of metal coming into shape. I was listening to Verdi's Anvil Chorus. Now I'll have that in my head the rest of the day thank you very much. Thank you for a great video. Cheers!
Congratulations, you made it. Someone is ripping off your good work. I never had an account with Facebook or Instagram, so they won't miss me anyway. I only wish I could dump them though. Nice job on the fender, by the way. It is looking great.
That patch looks great. I was amazed to see it take shape. Learned something new with the paper mold. Made all the sense in the world. I would love to see it being grafted into the fender. Looking forward to the next one.
They said it couldn't be done, With a smile he said he knew it, But he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, And he couldn't do it! Except you did and it was very interesting and educational! Excellent!
I think this video is excellent very educational. your videos are the content and information that I use in my garage all the time because I’ve learned a lot from your videos . Facebook is a horrible product. Just absolute garbage I hate Facebook !!!!!
@Carter Auto Restyling recently watch Wray Schelin make nearly the same repair to I think a 34 Ford fender. He used only masking tape for his pattern. Your method with the cuts in the paper made perfect sense. Like the other comment I'm looking forward to seeing how you deal with the wire. Until his video I didn't even know that was a thing. I've been getting a lot out of your channel. You break things into their simplest pieces where even a rookie can grasp the concepts. I'm looking forward to ruining some steel because the next step in learning it is to try it.
All I can say is I am impressed and learned a lot. I am glad my 36 chevy grain truck is going to stay original and that my 37 half ton had good bones and was bought already restored.👍
Thank you so much for sharing your cornucopia of valuable knowledge. Your well explained tutorials make for an enjoyable learning experience. I hope you do a second half showing the weld in process
As always, a great display of metal work and logical sequencing of how to do this! love watching your work and hearing the "how and why." I admire your affinity with your craft and your talent. I would enjoy seeing the continued process.
Magical, how a flat piece of metal turns into a curved piece of art. Bravo.
Thank you!

Same here after 35 years of steel construction welding I'm now doing bodywork and make tubeframes for motorbikes old skool, steel only.
Дерзай, все у тебя получится!
Please show it all. I'm learning quite a bit by watching
Oscar Wilde said “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", you are the best traditional bodyman on YT by far, so forget the Facebook guys even exist.
I never thought I'd be entertained by bodywork. You, sir, are a true craftsman.
Glad you enjoyed it!
you are a true craftsman who learned through trial an error over the years well done,in a league all your own.
Best I've seen.
I am with you on that! Have been boycotting Facebook from the very beginning.
You're a god amongst insects ☝ 👍👍👍
Haha more like an insect among gods
The best thing I've seen . Thanks .
Thanks for watching!
Ha ha, the Log Driver's Waltz is a classic!! I loved the explanation of "how long does it take", well said. Very cool how well that tucking fork works, simple and effective.

Excellent intro on how to decide on where to shrink.
Mike in Germany
Excellent fabrication and craftsmanship... greetings from the UK.
Thank you!
Just watching this for the 2nd time today. 10/10 would watch again. cheers.
Thanks for watching twice!!!
The two paper templates to determine stretching is invaluable. Thanks.
Thanks, it definitely makes the repairs go easier
I've done it with layers of masking tape but this part is excellent no matter how he got there. The 'imposter' thing has to be most frustrating. What next?
Only have ever had UA-cam to find what I like to watch. I have no need for other types of social media. 👍🙂
Right on, thanks for watching!

Non-Lithium drill.. The mark of a true rebel. Kudos on the Cut an' Tuck panel patterns.
Someone's got to push back against the tyranny of lithium drills
Inspiring and the loose bolt on the English wheel has me on the edge of my seat !
Would absolutely like to see how you go about finishing this off. Specifically the wire and the folded lip. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thanks for watching, I'll try to make a video on the rest of the repair
Agreed
Never too far gone, I've watched you do it.
Never say never. Haha!
Perfect patch 👌
That is a beautiful patch. Thank you.
You are a magician, that patch looks great.
Thanks Bob!
Amazing chief! Bring on the weld in vid. Great stuff
Love seeing people restore old cars

I won't be able to sleep until you get it welded in. (No pressure) Really enjoying your work. The trolls on FB and InstaG are a sad comment on our society.

KEEP THE PICS OF THOSE LITTLE MUCHKINS COMMING SO WE KNOW THEY ARE PART OF THE VIDEO REPAIRS.
Lots more cat content to come!
The patch turned out excellent. I really like your "don't rush" approach. It's uncommon to find that kind of patience these days.
Thank you! I still struggle with having patience most days
I enjoy your tutorials and the way you explain the "why" to the reasons
Glad to hear you enjoy them!
Excellent
Amazing. Every time I watch! Thank you Kyle!!!
Please finish the finder I love the work you are a true master hands down.
Please let's see more . You are a true metal master .
Epic video! Love the canadiana by referencing the log drivers waltz!
Glad you enjoyed it Pat!
Good work, nicely explained , those who aren't as smart as us, will benefit greatly i'm sure.
Always like the metal shaping process, especially the fine tuning at the last.
Amazing work, as always! Very happy to see that the cats really like the NASCAR blanket!
I'm glad you speed up the video of all your hard work and I learned a lot from your hard work and love the fact your saving these great Joys, Thumbs Up again and hopefully many more?...

I'm still partial to the turn the fender into one giant weld look. It's authentic farmer. That was cool to see that piece of metal coming into shape. I was listening to Verdi's Anvil Chorus. Now I'll have that in my head the rest of the day thank you very much. Thank you for a great video. Cheers!
Thanks Heather! Now that this fender has been ruined, I'm keeping an eye out for an authentic farm weld fender to replace it.
Good stuff once again, thanks for the social media rant I totally agree!!
Haha glad you agree!
Thank you for educating and entertaining us.
Congratulations, you made it. Someone is ripping off your good work. I never had an account with Facebook or Instagram, so they won't miss me anyway. I only wish I could dump them though. Nice job on the fender, by the way. It is looking great.
That patch looks great. I was amazed to see it take shape. Learned something new with the paper mold. Made all the sense in the world. I would love to see it being grafted into the fender. Looking forward to the next one.
Nice work, very helpful commentary.
Glad you found it helpful!
Once again. Excellent work and teaching. I look forward to the next video. I'll enjoy watching you going forward. Rich from NJ in the USA.
Thanks Rich!
Of course we want to see that patch installed. Anyone that enjoys true craftsmanship will be eager to watch.
Keep up the good work man!😊
They said it couldn't be done,
With a smile he said he knew it,
But he tackled that thing that couldn't be done,
And he couldn't do it!
Except you did and it was very interesting and educational! Excellent!
Haha awesome, thanks!
I think this video is excellent very educational. your videos are the content and information that I use in my garage all the time because I’ve learned a lot from your videos . Facebook is a horrible product. Just absolute garbage I hate Facebook !!!!!
Great work.

Definitely want to see the rest of the repair!
Your teaching ability is very inspiring.
Thanks, I'll be sure to film the rest!
