How To Ruin a Perfectly Good Truck. Chopping up a 1953 Chevy to build a Radical Custom
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In this episode we are back working on the radical custom 1953 Chevy Truck. The plan is to cut the cab and doors in half, remove 3" of material from the width of the body and then weld it back together.

This is a very cool project! Great job.
Amazing work.
Your Rant on Idiocy and their reactions due to their inability to simply pay attention and process the information given in totality is spot on.
Love it when Creative Kyle gets out to play! Brilliant work, cheers dude!
Loved the orchestral accompaniment! This dramatic sectioning requires a portentous and heraldic background, and the Mozart was perfect. Really enjoying this build.
Mozart interrupted with incessant monosyllable droning is the pinnacle of audio dyslexia. 🙉

You're a master Craftsman not an idiot!!
Beautiful music 😀!!!
Perhaps a little "Barber of Seville" would be appropriate...
Very nice musical score added. Bravo
Thank you!
Mozart was perfect for the Dance of the Grinder. Great job sectioning!
Haha Thank you!
You got this young gun!
I like the classical music interludes. Thank you for sharing what you do.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great video Brother !
The Buick bezels kick butt!!
What a cool way to section a door ... instead of riding the elevator we were in a opera house today ... it's getting real exciting now ... I'm hooked ...
Nice video Kyle.
Looking forward to seeing more on this project.
All the best!
Some people have selective hearing. Ignorance is bliss and there are a lot of happy people out there. I prefer to listen, watch and learn. You have excellent skills. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thanks Gary!
This is quite an ambitious project. You gotta love people who can't do what you do feel they know enough to criticize what you do.
It's easy to be critical until they're standing in front of a job with tools in their hands haha. Still a lot of people watching have had great ideas so it's not all bad!
The lengths you'll go to for a joke....removing your laces. Excellent. Great choice of music btw
Anything for a cheap laugh!
I am loving this...
Really enjoying this build!
Banging your head and laying it on the dash to see traffic lights. Been there!
Great job, loving this series!
What a great project. I was on the fence at the start, but now I can’t wait to get next week’s update. Some of my favorite channels seem to grow more slowly, and I’m not sure why. Great content every week. Big 👍
I’m close to your age, and remember when I discovered the Rodders Journal. The cars they were covering absolutely blew my mind! You have excellent taste man
Thank you!
Definitely a good job on the Door I learned something new Kyle Getting interesting
You and Halfass are by a large margin my favorite channels. You guys are actually building stuff; using your imagination and skill in equal parts. What fun to watch!
The Canadians have everything I want to see on UA-cam. Carter, HalfAss, Fitzees Fab, Make It Kustom, Cold War Motors, Wild West Garage . Keep up the great content eh.
@@andrewreece3861 I watch all these guys and one more...Bennetts Customs out of Australia. Another young guy like Kyle with terrific skills and fabrication knowledge. And Jordan from Bennetts Customs is also originally from Canada.
Loving the project and learning a lot. Great to see someone foolish enough to tackle this by themselves in a home garage. ;) Thanks Kyle
Thanks so much Greg! This project definitely isn't one of the better decisions I've made, but I'm glad people are enjoying it!
Carter's Hair Styling really went all out this week...even a reference to Fred Dibnah and some BBC quality classical music. The fender extension looked great. It will be interesting to see how that has to be cut to make the door open and close.
Thanks! It's definitely going to be a challenge to make the doors work, but I wouldn't be doing it if it was easy!
I like the way you did the doors. Makes more sense than cutting the door in half.
Looking good, Kyle! You never cease to amaze me. See you next time.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, looking beautiful!!!
Love the heroic music some Brahms and Mozart please
The best sectioning video I've ever seen, your attention to detail is great, nice work - keep up the good work.
Thank you, I'll try!
Is that you playing the triangle in the music? I have never called you an idiot as far as you know. Poe is one happy kitty. I'm going to have to watch this many times in slow motion. You are so far above any level I will achieve but I am learning a lot. Thank you for your time.
That was me on the triangle! Thanks for noticing! Poe is a very good cat!
Love it!! I hope to see the project to completion. Better yet, I hope to build my own truck one of these days.
Very nice precision work, well thought out prior to cutting. It is nice to see there are still master metalworkers.
I stopped 28 min into this video to say this as viewers and most of us old car and truck guys we should get this guy over a 100k subs. Why look at what he does with the same stuff we have in our garage I mean no disrespect to the guys who have all the trick stuff but Kyle fixes the metal with metal when possible and that is what most of us are trying to do I admit none of my body work is going to finish with high build and a block but watching him helps us understand how to fix what we have. I'll mind my own business love your work Kyle.
Thanks Mark!
Great music! Great bodywork! The door hinges will be interesting, maybe consider suicide doors with shaved handles?
Man you’re moving right along! This thing is gonna be killer!!!!
Listening to Mozart while watching other people work is a great way to spend a Saturday. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁
That elevator music though... 😂
Awesome fab work. Can't wait to see the fade fab..
So cool. Clever way to do the doors. I would have never figured that out.
This will be cool. Can’t wait to see it take shape.
Well. There's no turnin' back now!
I find it interesting that while you and Brent (Halfass Kustoms) are doing similar projects, the approach and execution are completely different. Thanks, Kyle, for sharing this with us!
Wow! I was stunned how clever your aproach to this chopping was! Fascinating! I would have been so incredibly dumb that it did not even enter my tiny brain that you do not have to cut the doorskin in the middle and then spending weeks to get all the warping out of the panel.
By the way, I loved the soundtrack! I am a barbarian and I thought it might have been Beethoven.
Me too.
Me three
I stunned myself too haha! Normally I'm quite proficient at making a ton of unnecessary work for myself!
Couldn’t find any rock n roll!
Absolutely amazing. Thanks again for sharing
Really liking the build, the quality, commentary and now that your a reaching a big time UA-camr, we no longer have to insert our own music 👍🏻
Haha thank you!
Bravo,to your entire production crew, writers, producers,cinematographers, lighting directors,editors, co-stars, oh and you do ok body work.
Indeed great production value, but felt the cat content was really lacking
@@davidson98236 Agree.
Your not a idiot, you are a master of your trade.
After watching another well know bad Canadian custom builder's videos I gotta say your skill and craftsmanship is head and shoulders above his. Love watching your work. Keep it up.
Haha thank you!
It will be awesome!
Thanks for showing us that method on the doors. That is an awesome idea that I have for one have never seen before.
I know your going to cut them off again but the doors - nice job
(“Time to stop with the brain thinking and start letting the grinder do the thinking for us”). I only wish my grinder was that smart! Awesome work!
Ahh man this is such a cool build! I'm building a chopped 51 gmc right now so your build gives me some motivation to get things done!
Love the project, this is going to be a cool truck.You are the MAN!
Brilliant approach with the door skins and detaching them, cutting the section from the middle of door frame then re-attaching the skin so that the excess outer metal ends up at the bottom. No big cut and weld across the exterior panel.
The Mozart accompaniment to the time lapse was perfect.
I'm unreasonably excited to watch this come together. The Buick bezels and fadeaway are a great design choice! Looking forward to see how you handle the rear bodywork and lowering. I hadn't seen that custom '53 Olds before, that really would've made an indelible impression on me. Cheers!
My wife and I tune in to your show regularly. Don't think we've missed any since you began. You are a true artist with a rare talent and patience to accomplish the most refined metal work. Spectacular and stunning ro watch the transformations you've done with things many people would just toss. I worked for a short while as a kid doing prep work for a painter at a large Ford dealership way back when, a job that was short lived. Can't tell you how much slap-dashery and just plain old shoddy work I saw. Any way, carry on. Love your show and your talent.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching the show!
Very nice work, I was a collision repairman for 40 years, you’re very talented man.
Thank you!
Great episode! The choice of music was a nice touch
This is fun project to watch! Never crossed my mind, that sectioning is maybe most creative way to get rid of rusty door bottoms.
Also surprised to see, how much difference 3 inches make! Talking about cab of course...
Dibnah method really made me laugh.
Man I love watching your videos. Time lapse and right to the point. So much accomplished in one video. Very impressive and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Real life hotwheels i love it. ✌
Nice to see you doing some custom work and with an explanation of how it’s done. That cab section was just done so beautifully, that was a step back in time to old school custom work. Two things Gene Winfield says every day is a school day because you’re always learning, and no school like the old school. Now it makes sense why seeing cars section and the cut out areas were in different places. They were looking for the top of the crown on the panel, your plumb line was a good demonstration. I really loved this video, thanks. Later
Thank you! I definitely look up to Gene Winfield, he is a hero!
I can’t believe how much work you got done in this video! The visual, even though it was tape and paper, was great. This is easily my favourite building of yours and my favourite build on UA-cam right now.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying this project!
Your right Kyle somewhere in our infinite access to information, something gets lost in the translation. Great video on door sectioning thats what you get when you're smarter than the job at hand.
what a great project. and the tips for doing this kind of body is invaluable. cant wait for the chop! great job Kyle. could watch you do ur thang for hours!
Thanks, I'm looking forward to it too!
i enjoyed this video i like the music and love this kind of fabrication mock up was great it's going to look awesome can't wait
A thinking man's project for sure. R&D as it were. Enjoy your content over and down a bit here in Pennsylvania.
Who am I kidding, I watch for the cat scenes at the end LOL Seriously I enjoy that someone is doing stuff I have more than a passing interest in doing but am smart enough to not attempt it. Lots and lots of progress this week so I am looking forward to the next video.
I'm sure Fred would have loved this and send you a truckload of used tires out of his personal collection!
It would have been an honor to get some of Fred's used tires!
Santa needs to bring you a new coat.....and a broom....great project. Great video...
Tom and I love the project. The fade away projection is looking awesome!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Wow thank you John! I really appreciate all you've done for this channel!
Dude, fade away fenders are going to look so good. This truck's going to really look like something that woulda been built by one of the greats back in the day.
Thank you! I certainly hope it all turns out!
Kyle, what a satisfying episode! It's clear you were pleased with the result of the doors--me too! I think you are onto something with the classical music--we are watching the creation of art, the music seemed appropriate. What you need is a helper, an Igor who can offer a third hand or help move cumbersome objects. Ideally it would be a teenager who hates school and was interested in the project. Fifty years ago such a kid would be available but they have all been lost now. If I lived closer I might volunteer.
Having an Igor would definitely add a lot to the show! Thanks for the suggestion!
Very much enjoyed the Mozart and the intermissions. Interesting build
I can’t give you to much grief on this episode 😞😞😞 , it was really interesting, well done ! Maybe next week 😅😅 ❤
I'll be looking forward to getting some grief next week!
I'm loving the way this is going! As you've got '53 Buick headlight bezels how about 53 Buick quarters? They have that shape you're going for. For the front end how about a split front bumper and 58 Edsel grille?!
Cool idea with the split bumpers, I was actually just thinking about that the other day. Thanks Alan!
Enjoying this project!
Kyle, it takes a big set of balls to attempt what you're doing, I'm behind you all the way....Bob.
Thank you Bob!
like 1.9 K. You make it look easy.
Next video use Gotterdammerung for the sound track, nothing goes with destruction like Twilight of the gods.
It is one thing to buy and make patch panels and save the rusty trucks such as you do. But to now enter fine coach building and studying the builders who were great at that is cool to watch. Look forward to seeing the build progress.
Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy watching the rest of the project!
One thing that always pokes me in the eye on these is how vertical the roof is. I think it would really benefit from just leaning the back of the roof forwards just a hair, just to round the whole thing off a bit more, so it's more like a 3w coupe than than a truck. Love the Buick lights.
Dibnah...nice
I really like the way it looks! Awesome job
Thanks!
You should be happy brother! Your careful planning has resulted in great fitment. Channeling(?) Valley Kustom, & Polynesian build well, ya just cant go wrong,,, Keep goin', Izzy inspired,,,,,
Just wanted to let you know that if you mess up that cab you can make a road trip to North Dakota as I have a cab for you. Keep up the great instructional videos. Plus remember that if you're not messing something up on a daily basis, you're not doing anything. Hahaha
Very kind of you to offer that! I think I'm stuck with fixing this cab no matter how bad I mess it up haha
Kyle there is a guy called Bad Chad on YT. He does a lot of chopping taking after his mentor Gene Winfield. However he does not possess your skill or ability to plan. He just lurches from one crisis to the next and has destroyed several survivor vehicles in doing so. Here you have taken something from scrap and are making something wonderfully different. Another guy on here from Vice Grip Garage has just rescued a 1950 Chevy Styleline fitted with a Chevy V8 back in the day. I would restore that car to its V8 heyday Scott Newstead also has a mild custom Chevy fitted with Cadillac "sore thumbs" tail lights. It looks great and I wish he would restore that coupe. I envy your skill
Loving this build!!! The doors were especially interesting. Rewound and watched a second time to eliminate the urge to comment with some absurd thoughts! 😉
Kyle You are the maestro of metal ! You have a vision and the foresight to get the job done ! keep these awesome videos coming ....
COOL!!GO CAT!!GO!!
You're doing a great job keep up the good work
What a cool method. Turned out great. Sure is some wicked info on your channel, keep up the great work!
I am only commenting because I want to see this continue. Nice work, fun and inspiring to watch.
Thanks! I'll keep at it for as long as I'm able to!
Hey Kyle, thanks for the classical music!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You may want to look at 46 - 48 Chevy cars as they had that type of swoop on the sides. It will give you an idea on how to work the front door swing and pivot clearance.
Man Guts Chicken Truck While Bystanders Stand By and WATCH
Good to see you having fun! I can't believe how much better those doors look with the 3-4 inches removed. Thank you for sharing your first order plans with your walk around.I suspect you will find out why you don't see a lot of fade-away fender mods as soon as you start working the details of the door hinge pivot axis location. The new door chine is going to want to sneak in behind the front fender trailing edge when the door is opened. I witnessed another Canadian UA-camr spend what seemed like two weeks before figuring out a similar 3D solution. Thank You!
Lots of customizers did fade aways on a variety of vehicles in the 1940's and 50's...of course people were smarter back then, but I'm confident I'll figure it out
The plan is to mock everything up with a wire form buck and paper before committing to the final shape and door gap in metal
When you said 'Intermission' my mind went right to 'The Holy Grail'....
The period correct approach using various GM parts/pieces for this Kustom is something I totally agree with.
Anyone with deep pockets can put a 'bellybutton' ride together by simply ordering a ton of parts and bolting them together.
In my opinion.... it takes a heck of a lot more talent, imagination, and craftsmanship to build what you are doing WITHOUT spending 10's of thousands of dollars.
Keep up the great work!!!
kyle i am super impresed with your vision for this truck build, regardless of some borrowed vision or whether it is all your own. great job ! am looking forward to more of the same.
Thank you! I'll try to keep doing more of the same!
You do great work. Amazing. Learn a lot from you. Thank you for your video's.
I would just say that now I understand why did you abandon those other doors. I just wanted to say that this is a very interesting content. Good luck with the rest of the project.
