    I'm sorry you have to endure hurtful and cruel comments concerning your work. People need to understand that we all can't be perfectionists like that fella out in eastern Canadia. I do have one criticism..... If you are going to flash photos of French cars and their owners on the screen, please tag a warning on the video.. My grandson was watching with me and now I have to have "the talk" with him... Cheers from the shed

    Thank you. I am learning (and I am old). I used a flapper wheel to strip an antique refrigerator and turned the cabinet into several oilcan situations. Not knowing what had happened, I purchased a shrinking disk. Did not work, now I had a bigger mess. Shrunk it even more with an acetylene torch, an even bigger mess.
    Finally, I made a large slapper out of a heavy truck spring and polished it up really nice and used a piece of railroad track for a dolly. It worked out to where a thin coat of nitrocellulose glazing putty made it flat enough for the old girl I married. Curved metal is WAAAY easier than flat metal. Thankyou, again.

    Holy moly Kyle. Thanks for showing me what the inside of my door looks like. Your hammer speed never ceases to amaze me. This has to be the best explained panel repair video I have ever seen and I sit around stoned and watch a lot of videos. Can you put a funny car style escape hatch in the roof of the chicken truck so I know how to do it? I am very excited about this build. Mary is excited to meet Daisy, Joseph is passed out having his morning/afternoon nap. Thank you for your time.

    • @CarterAutoRestyling
      @CarterAutoRestyling  Рік тому +1

      No escape hatch planned, but when I do a video on chopping the top, just skip the second half of the video when I weld the roof back on and you should have a pretty convincing escape hatch

    Sorry to hear about the Lambos. Losing one is bad enough, but losing two is just heartbreaking. Of course if you hadn't spent all that money on hair repair you might have been able to keep them.The chicken truck will be a very cool custom. The nice thing about shaved handles on a two door truck is you can't look at both sides at the same time. Nobody will be able to tell if they match or not. Cheers! 😎👋🛻🏁🏁

    I guess the benefit of shaving the door handle with bondo is that you have less of that tedious hammering to get rid of the dent caused by shrinkage. Sounds good to me! Nevertheless, pretty impressive how you made those welds disappear!

    • @CarterAutoRestyling
      @CarterAutoRestyling  Рік тому

      Sometimes I add extra hardener to the bondo so it gets really hot when it kicks over and warps the door. Then I try hammer and dollying it, but the bondo keeps cracking. What am I doing wrong?

    To be honest, it didn't even occur to me about the possible variations of angle needed for the window tracks.
    Made sense once you described it... and having the skin off (albeit not a simple 5 minute job for removal) will make it a lot easier to get it set up correctly, along with swapping for the one piece side glass.
    Keep up the fine work and I look forward to the next episode.

    Nothing "lame" at all about your video. Greatly appreciate the explanations/education !! Did a somewhat bigger but similar round patch from a "saddle tank" filler hole in a Model A running board splash apron. Had exactly the same experience you just showed. That's when I discovered that you need to grind off the majority of the weld bead prior to trying to metal work the patch and its surrounding area. Also needed to use the shrinking disc and the slapper before calling it "OK" !! Definitely not "good" !!

  • @KiwiStag74
    @KiwiStag74 Рік тому +3

    To be honest, matey, I was surprised at you taking all that time to put metal in the holes where the door handle was when you still have that huge Bondo sponsorship to take advantage of. Likewise, the missing etal at the bottom of the door can easily be taken care of with some nice chicken wire (it IS the Chicken Truck, isn't it?) then some long strand, then some short strand and lastly the plastic filler on top to make it all smooth. How else are all of us blokes with old cars going to keep the myth that "the old doors are heavier because were made of thicker metal" going if you don't fill them up like we do?
    Seriously Kyle, I really enjoy watching you work with the TIG and sort out the issues caused by heat shrinkage. Your ability to feel the metal and instinctively know what its doing, why it is doing it and how to correct it, is not something everyone has. I also like the idea of where you are going with this project and it makes total sense why you'd pull the outer skin off if you are going to be basically redesigning the inside workings of the door, as there's certainly little room to get at the cavity otherwise. Bloody good call, I reckon! Are you going to put electric windows in the beast as well?
    A good watch, my friend. Thanks for putting it up there. All the best.

    I would not worry too much about the door skins as the French Canadian Sasquatch have been known to ram head first into the side of vehicles, I noticed the sighting of him in the middle of this video so we know he is close. Good luck on the Chicken truck it sounds like fun
