It truly is a shame that so many are jealous of someone's success rather than supportive. Keep on keepin' on, your work is phenomenal and so is your sense of humor.
Thanks John!
Whats not to hate ... you strut around in your fancy clothes ... just messin around in your fancy shop ... using all your fancy tools ... what can I say ... I'm jealous ... another great video ... lead away ... keep em commin Kyle ...
You will never find a hater doing better than you. Keep up the great work.
Kyle your monologue at the end I believe is spot on. You do you!
Thanks Scott!
Best body man/philosopher/feline companion on YT.
Haha thanks!
Very much agree with you. Kyle is always a teacher. Even if you don't want to learn.
He can fix things that most people would consider trash. Amazing 👍
After 48 yrs of non stop restoration this man teaches me still what a credit to the profession
I have cut up in my youth an old Lancia for the spares (B20 Gran Turismo) : there was only rust and tin left of the body. The flow of liquid metal was worthy of Terminator 2.
Thank you Lester!
Me too.
I can see you getting pulled over and it looks like Cheech and Chong, the officer walks up and says "Do you realize your shirt is on fire?". You can just point to the sticker and all is well.😂
Hysterical, I'm sure Kyle probably roared with laughter, I know I did. LMAO
Good one man😅
Hahaha!
came for the cats, stayed for the motivation. keep doing what you do, screw the haters. watching you has inspired me to go find a crusty, rusty old truck and start chopping away.
Right on! Good luck with your future project!
Kyle, you're the best! Don't let anyone tell you any different! Your offbeat humor, your demeanor, all good! You inspire me! If I lived nearby, you would never get rid of me. I'd be hanging out with you all the time.
Not sure how anyone can be negative about your work/channel its my go too video channel when i need a kick up the ass to get working on my junk 👍👍👍
Wow, that was deep! And the metalwork was superb. Suitably chastised I shall now go and fix my leaking roof.
Thank you for the video! I enjoyed seeing the process of lead work. And of course the cat content.
Saturday's my two favourite shows CWM & your channel.
Love that you guys are preserving history with your incredible skills 💪.
❤ watching you work . You get things done and having fun at it.😎👍👍✌️
Kyle: metal craftsman, cat lover, philosopher, and therapist. Great combination. Keep up the marginally mediocre work!!! May the body putty be with you😁
Thank you Kyle for your inspirational words; I do stuff too...sometimes.
Thanks!
Wow thank you Norman! I really appreciate you helping to keep the show on the air!
Mine was the reverse situation- I was watching you and ended up addicted to CWM as well
Sorry about that! Haha
I had managed to escape the CWM obsession after the Fury build now I've got this guy constantly badgering me about Newstead and I'm finding it impossible to pull myself away from these weirdo French cars with their various hydraulic pumps and accumulators. Steerable headlights? I spent 20 mins trying to understand that conglomeration of insane engineering. That Kyle takes no responsibility for pushing this sorceey on unsuspecting viewers is truly disappointing
@@TommyBradham no - he seems to project an air of being guilt free in this matter . I’m looking g forward to CWMs doing the limousine, but I can’t the understand the obsession with the Le Cars
@@CarterAutoRestyling Scott doesn’t seem to mind me being a regular viewer. Some day maybe I’ll be able to contribute more $ but for now I’ll heap the two of you with praise
@@lancemclean9273i always wanted an R5 Turbo as a kid so I definitely could dig CWM ripping in one of those
This video totally reminded me of when I was a kid I let a friend use my car in high school he put it in the ditch tipped it on the side lightly my dad had an old timer work on it in our shop at our marine business he leaded everything and painted the car got me my start on doing all my own body work on my vintage cars and rebuilders. Great video.
Am I surprised to see another video about lead bodywork? No humans are creatures of habit. Just like Kyle making two videos in a row about lead bodywork, I’m a creature of habit and watched both! 😂 So, that being said great content
Hi Kyle, I just wanted to say a thank you to briquetaverne , for the support of the channel, to the mystery donor who sent the scotch bright pads to help Kyle with the work that he is doing. Now to the video, it was great a glimpse into the past of how things were done back then. This is truly a dying process and like always you make it look so easy. Thanks again for all your work. Later
Your blue car reminds me of my 79 Cordoba I had years ago
Sounds like the infamous novel by Charles Dickens as told by Kyle Carter: The Tale Of Two Car Doors... It was the worst of doors, it was the best of doors...😉
Wow! I tuned in expecting the usual video of you poking sharp objects through garbage body panels... but what do I get? A motivational speech! The other surprise was I had no idea you were into kite flying... love to see how you fly your kites using your 1940s skill sets. As far as people complaining about your methods or how you do things... do what I do.... When viewers watch me, they are so horrified at what they are witnessing they feel sorry for me and think I may have a debilitating mental problem. Cheers from the Shed
At least Kyle doesn't live in a van--DOWN BY THE RIVER!!! Not yet anyway...
😁@@glennnickerson8438
Hi Randahl. Although this channel is primarily focused on auto repair, I do have several other interests. In addition to kite flying, I also enjoy jump rope, mountain climbing and sniffing glue.

Vive la France,, 🇸🇪💞🇫🇷
Very impressive and educational as usual, Mr Metal Whisperer,, 👍🤩👍
Thank you kindly Kyle,, 🌟🙏🌟
Thanks Kyle you never disappoint. From those of who watch and do.
Kyle I support u and your sweater 💯
Kyle. Your ending comments are so true. People who said I couldn’t take a junkyard car and make it cool only inspired me more to get the job done.
I bought a 59 Teebird rust, free hood and front bumper the other day from a 83-year-old gentleman for $100. We had a great conversation about cars. He was ready to paint a 59 ranchero, but the wind picked up. 83 yrs old! Smitty
I would still like to send a donation other than Patreon. Maybe you can create a email address or PO Box?
Right on! Sometimes the best motivation comes from the people who say it can't be done! Feel free to send me an email at: hotroddedgmc@hotmail.com
Hi Mr Kyle,
You’re doing a great job with you’re passion, it’s great to see what you do.
I’m an old timer that grew up in my dad’s service station and I love to work with my hands.
I’ve been an HVAC tech for 45 years and I’m always amazed when people who have no comprehension of mechanical things tell me how to do my job.
Like you said, they don’t participate in life so they have to try to bring down those that do.
Headed out to my garage right now to see what kind of trouble I can get into, I have a yard full of Jeeps so it shouldn’t be too hard.
Keep up the good work.
One of your fans,
Rob Hunt
Thank you Rob!
I really enjoy watching you work with the lead, a lost skill. Thanks for the pep talk at the end of your video. An old saw has it "those who can, do. Those who can't teach." I want to add "those who are incapeable of either, criticize. Cheers!
You just can’t please some people.
An old joke:
A Jewish grandmother takes her baby grandson to the ocean for the first time. For the occasion, she has dressed him in a smart little sailor outfit. Without warning, a large wave folds over the young boy and swoops him out into the ocean. The grandmother looks up at the sky, “Please God, save my grandson. I will do anything if you return him to me. I will pray daily, I will volunteer weekly. Please God, I will do anything.” In a flash, another wave hits the beach, and the grandson washes up on the sand. The grandmother looks the boy over, then looks up at the sky and says, “He had a hat.”
Hi Kyle, sorry I'm late, was at the degenerate wasted lives fashion show for torn clothes and pre-loved no hope attire - we sold out. You talking about fire, I remember my dad (bless him) he was in the fire service, he never lasted long, he made me laugh.... 'fight fire with fire!' was his motto, come to think of it now, probably explains why he got kicked out - Thank You.
Dear Mr. Carter,
After viewing your various videos for quite some time, i must say I'm disappointed in the fact I don't recall seeing your attempt of flying a lead kite with a bondo tail (or even a bondo kite with a lead tail).
This only became apparent to me whilst viewing your monologue at the end of this present video presentation.
I ask you to please rectify the situation by continuing to show content which you have deemed suitable for your avid followers and cat fanciers.
Sincerely, Russ Davis (purveyor of lead sprinkles and body filler dust)
I NEW IT!
the first time I saw this guy.I said to myself , the internet is going to ruin this guy . I know why you didn’t film welding the patch panels. You had your intern do it!
What else goes on when we’re not looking?
All that add money coming in. I guess we’ll be seeing the new dream garage video.
What a sellout. I’m unsubscribing soon. Right after I get some more tips and techniques.
I was looking at the chicken truck in the background during part of your monolog. Man the proportions from a distance are really spot on. Sometimes it's hard to visualize it up close, but, from a distance.......oh baby that looks great. As far as the lead controversy........anything the government is against, I'm for generally. lols Most people with negative comments are just looking to start a conversation or get a reaction. I'd just ignore them in the grocery store or anywhere else. They'll move on to some other guy to engage. Thanks again for your videos. I've watch everyone since being influence by Scott hyping your channel. I 've been building cars since the late sixties and don't see anything you do that, I can find fault with. Maybe I just don't have enough experience to know what I'm talking about. Cheers
Very nice speech at the end, I would say most of what you said is true. Very sad that our social fabric is falling apart in so many ways. Anyhow that was a nice letter from the USA gentleman in France, and I wish I could claim that I sent you the box of goodies LOL. Cheers!
Passenger door of my 57 doesn't wave, more like a standing ovation. Always put the lawn chairs )or a tree beside the Pass side at the show 'n shines. Staring at it causes motion sickness. Can only imagine what they filled it with, most likely grey winter socks or floor sweepings. I'd kill for a decent lead repair.
As always, your work is impeccable.
I think lead is a wise investment. I have my share.
As far as the danger of lead goes, I believe it increases with velocity.
Quality work Kyle. Lead work has always been a thing of interest for me. It's true old school customizing.
Glad to see the Impala door worked out for you.
Definitely looking forward to the return of the chicken truck.
All the best!
Thanks for the cat video interrupted by body work.😉
You’re lead work is 🤌
I learnt to do lead work from an old body man 35+ years ago, we used 50 weight motor oil to “lube” our paddles but it would smoke and it was easy to burn paddles, I have tried other media with my favourite being bees wax but it is very expensive.
I’m really enjoying the Chicken truck build too.
I just finished stripping the 5 layers of paint and primer off of a fender. I found that it had a 1/2" thick layer of bondo over 3/4 of the fender with a couple of dents and one crease where the bondo was closer to an 1" and a half, I spent about an hour removing the small creases, it's not nearly perfect yet but gives me a new found respect for what you do.
So, what you’re saying is lead is like McDonald’s. Although you might really want to, you shouldn’t eat it?
I might try to lead on my mustang I got a cracked windshield that it might work on LOL I will give it a try when I get to putting quarters back on, I'll watch and watch your videos when l get that far
I live in Suffolk County and can attest to the fact that we have a fine Police Department. I have a family member who is currently a detective in SCPD. Hopefully the police in your area will respect the decal from Suffolk County, New York. I love your channel and it’s content. Keep up the good work. Thanks Kyle
Small world! I'm sure they won't pay much attention to the decal haha
Thanks Brick ! and the Mystery Person !
Its true. Im lazy. Im upset. Life didn't turn out the way i thought but i flew a kite yesterday so what do you know about anything?
@37:09 *If nobody else claims that mystery gift, it was me that sent it. You're welcome.*
Hey! Nice repair again! I think we may see that ruined rusted and dented Impala door gets done someday too...???
I am only jealous of the amount of time you have to put into your project. I thoroughly enjoy watching you turn junk to treasure and learn from your episodes. Keep on doing you and remember that in order to have haters, you have to be doing something to ruffle their feathers. Last time I checked, like you, I didn't give them the power to run my life and tell me what to do. To say it politely, they can go take a long walk off a short pier. Go on setting yourself on fire and bending metal. Woo Hoo! I can't wait for the next video.
I love work, I could watch it all day.
lol...Kyle, I would place you at the head of ANY body shop. Your skill is second to none and your knowledge is astonishing for your age. STOP hearing the haters, talk to Brent from Halfass he can relate, maybe a collaboration? Brent respects those that do....
Thanks for all the instruction.you should create a post office box so your subscribers can send you some supplies.
Kyle excellent work my friend, you're the magic Metal Man!
Iv read on a forum where the guy have damp newspaper on the floor to catch the lead. Then he burns it and recycle the lead into new bars.
Kyle is the leader of the leader community. As Kyle always says, “You can’t lead from behind.”
You've got it all sorted, haters just blow! you are right up there with 'Cold War Motors' lol
More outstanding work - and cat! My Dad, God rest him, back in the day taught himself to do lead work. He would buy insurance wreck Jaguars and repair them. This was late 50's I believe so these were Jaguar XKs, 120, 140 and 150. Well, when we were moving, I found some of his lead work stuff! Sticks of body solder, files and such. As far as the negative folk, pay them no mind. They don't matter, and they know it. They are just sad, bitter miserable people, screw them. I think for the next motivational speech you should have a cat montage with your voiceover being you in a bubble, like those sign language folks in their circle, and you'd be orbiting the cats as they frolic, or don't move at all, whichever they're up for. I am still waiting for delivery of my official autographed Carter Auto Restyling spatula.
Kyle you're a master and you don't realize it! I think using lead is a permanent repair as opposed to Bondo, believe me I wish I was as talented as you are! You rock and roll buddy!!!!!!!!
I dont particularly like using lead. It does take more time to sand and shape. Let alone melting it into place. To find after a period of time it shrinks or cracks Like every other filler
The lead work came out very nice , looking forward for more videos thanks .
Your skill-level is most amazing - - major league stuff! Also, your presentations are most entertaining too - - hoo-ah! !
I have learnt to only care what you yourself think, oh and your Mum.
Thanks Briquetaverne for the kind words and the sticker.
Wow
Just freaking Wow 👌
Great job my friend.!!!
Awesome video. Interesting to see stuff that is not really fixable.
Still liking the work and the sarcasm. Keep it up!
Something I learned not long ago that helps with overly negative unproductive comments for me. The comments we get on YT are MUCH more a reflection of the person leaving them than the creator.
That is some incredible patience and top notch work right there!
Pretty cool, my dad was a New York Police officer and I grew up in Suffolk County on Long Island New York. :)
Small world! Haha, thanks for watching!
Dude, you rock! The haters need to piss off!
Always a good time when I stop by your garage to watch you work your projects on the channel. Even the negative comments help the algorithm Kyle, so go ahead and lead away. Big 👍 The channel is growing, but I got unsubscribed somehow. POd.
Sad that people have to spread so much negativity, and you are right about why they do it. I have so much wrong with me physically, and i have to keep moving so that can try and maintain what i do have. I have progressive MS, and it has caused muscle wasting on my entire left side. My muscles are half the size of my right side, and i can't feel my left hand, which makes many thing's a challenge, not to mention taking so much more time to do anything. I have injuries from an accident that slow me down to, but i fight through the pain and frustration to do what i have always loved to do.
I enjoy these video's, and have been watching your older video's. I like the idea of using lead when possible, it just seems logical, and looks fun. I like your commentary as you work on stuff, the sarcasm is well placed. Just keep doing you, and I'll keep watching. I'm probably one of only two female viewers, and no i am not gay. Those who grew up in the 70's&80's know about being free child labor lol. I was older than my brother, and was the official grunt for my dad and grandpa, but that's okay, because they taught me a lot about fixing pretty much anything. I have ADHD, so this kind of work has always kept me busy. G-d bless.
The way I think of Trolls is that trolling is their hobby. I don't think most of them have the ability or the ambition to do much of anything else. They like the drama they cause because their lives are boring. If you are drawing the attention of Trolls then you are doing pretty good. They are trying to bring you down a peg or two. Watching the videos is only half of the enjoyment they might get. Their favorite part is the comment section. I'd just thank them for their views and comments. In the end, you get much more positivity than negativity and that's what really matters. I enjoy your videos and humor/sarcasm and of course the cats 😂. Keep up the amazing work!
With all that said, I'm a little disappointed in this video. You took the easy way out by replacing the door. I was hoping for a lot of high speed hammering. The high speed hammering is truly one of my favorite things. Oh yeah and, lead is dead 😂 (even though I always wanted to try it out too) 😊
I thought about giving this video a thumbs down and unsubscribing but I'm a strong believer in giving people a second chance. Please don't disappoint me again! I'm a very important person in my own mind (that's what the voices in my head say so it must be true)
Have a nice day 😊
I think it's really cool that you have the skills to use different mediums. Use of lead included. I've never seen that technique, but it appears to make a very nice product.
I watch UA-cam to learn new things and for a little entertainment about the things I'm interested in, so thank you so much for providing excellent content.
That was the best use of a tie in world.. a cat toy.
And the insert of Poe while you were working was A1.
I knew that you COULD fix that old door skin but I was so glad to see that you weren't going to. That would have been a nasty pile of work, as you are more than well aware of.
Ahh the 60's and 70's. The days of brazing on a panel. I do NOT miss that.
You offer good advice. You are wise beyond your years .. or is that wise beyond your ears?
Hmmm
Ah yes Joe, the golden age of body work. Where the directions on the can of filler told you to stuff a rusted out hole with newspaper and for the "quality" repair--window screen!😲
I'm not sure who was the "professional" that came up with that special precedure, Glenn... but I always wished he would have taken on a different specialty.
The thing that really bothers me is that no one around my part of the world knew about the tools that were being used in other places. Tools like bead rollers (swaging machines), English wheels (wheeling machines), shrinkers, stretchers... Life would have been easier.
Then again.. I know "modern" guys who use spray foam as a base for the body fill.
Some things never change, I guess.
Hi Joe! I believe "wise beyond ears" suits me best. I wish I could have been around in the days of braze n pave and white lightning, guess I was born too late! Thank you for helping to keep the show on the air as well, It is much appreciated!
Hey. We didn't know any better. ;)
My pleasure.
Yo! I’m still waiting on my product. I ordered 3 t-shirts from you last December. The “my cats peed on them again” excuse is getting pretty lame.
Well Kyle you know what they say. Any publicity is good publicity. If they're saying something about you at least they're noticing you.
What is it with cats and cardboard boxes? They could have the nicest cat bed in the world and they will sleep in or on top of a cardboard box. Keep doing things the Carter way. It works. My way has gotten me a whopping 8 subs!
Hey Kyle, you ever try PB blaster as a flux?? I mean It's right in the name, should help you blast that lead right on the panel. Seems obvious right??
keep doing what you enjoy, and we will keep enjoying watching it. whether its impala doors, the chicken truck, junkyards, or cats, im here for it. this is one of the best channels going right now. It's so relatable for the average guy. it really has a way of making me feel like i can do it too. (though i dont have near your skill). looking forward to the next video!
How to do lead work. Step one DO NOT EAT THE LEAD, step two do not eat the lead, step three don't eat the lead. The word is "TROLL" lots of them any more or less. thank you for the music at the end. Please ALL stay safe
Love the knipex . I have the size you show and the larger pair great grabbing characteristics and have successfully removed several broken bolts and rounded nuts/fittings.
I don't understand what makes a person a hater, but they are everywhere it seems. They don't deserve your attention at all. Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing with us.
Dude!! Great video!! I was looking at your month of misery you where about to in take!! When the body gods seen the hopeless task you where willing to take on!!! And found you better door!!!lol!! ✌️
Found your Channel , through HalfAss Kustoms...I enjoyed the 66 C10 videos ,,,Keep up the great work you are talented, Also you make me Laugh with your mannerisms !
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you get a laugh out of my nonsense!
I'm even more upset now that you've opened my eyes to why I've been upset with you. I have to watch you do amazing work and be admired for it while looking out the window at my rusty old truck. I'm very upset and I may even consider unsubbing. 😠
Nice video on the use of lead on the car doors! Let the bad comments slide off of your back! Love to see Lady Poe and her paper bag. So nice to see both of the kitties as always. We also enjoyed the music selections. The ending with Alan and Poe made Tom and I smile and laugh!
Do you offer "Confessions of a Pyro" on 8-Track?
You do good work and I'm really enjoying the chicken truck build, if you like you can Insert a negative uninformed comment here, but only if it's funny
I don't have anything bad to say about your videos. Its my understanding that negative comments do provide benefit when plugged in he youtube algorithm, as it looks at quantity
Leading is a process i wish to learn. It makes more sense to me to use something that is less likely to crack, especially in a high stress/use area. Ive been collecting lead from the junkers that come thru my yard for parts and scrapping, so like three cars. Got about 2 lbs so far.
never presume what mindless zombie UA-cam trolls want to see carter.... repetitive boring welding rust repair patches is what we like to see..... it soothes the mind and numbs the senses our hypocritic minds. we can come up with legendary hate critic comments when we get in the zone,so more welding please !
I recently started a UA-cam project on a 1937 Chevy … your motivational speech is spot on!! Thank you
Well said. Thank you. Blessings.
How can we contribute to purchase of your lead stash since you are having issues with PayPal. Please advise. Regards.
I just need you to know that I hate that you have a Ford sign on your wall but you don’t have a single ford folded into your two car garage anywhere. I’m so mad right now I could spit.
Hey Kyle maybe you can use one of those scotch brite pads to erase that nasty yellow off the truck. Maybe a torch would feel more rewarding though. Cheers!
Hey Kyle, not sure I'm ready to take on lead work. I've learned a lot thanks to your videos. Regarding the fearful folks regarding lead I guess I'd have to ask if they wear clothing drenched in dry cleaning chemicals as well as toxic chemicals having their hair highlighted.😊
that is the nicest jacket I've ever seen you wear! Screw the haters and keep on! You're doing great.
Keep up the great work and thanks for the good advice, best way to deal with the negative stuff is don’t respond, they just love to keep it going to get their kicks, just keep doing what makes you happy 🙂
