I think what a lot of people haven't quite grasped is that you're a performance artist with great metal working skills
Haha
🤓@@CarterAutoRestyling Its funny because its True.
@@CarterAutoRestylingafter your rendition of "The Lord of the Dance"! I think he is spot on!
Congratulations on reaching 30 K subscribers! The remarkable growth of your channel is a clear indication of the quality of your content, both your metal-working skills and your gift for irony. Hope you get a chance to relax over Christmas, put your feet up, scratch a cat, and enjoy a wry and coke. 😏
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I love the smell of melting lead in the morning. I ummm... I ummmm... I forgot what I was gonna say..... lol
Drain bamage!
Ah, bliss! Eine Kleine Knackwurst by Motorzart. The perfect paint-scraping accompaniment. I'm a little worried about your spontaneous self-immolation though. What music should we choose? Fire Brigade by The Move? Weren't you in that band? ua-cam.com/video/iSU5DtLZB3o/v-deo.html
Someone needs a new set of grinder discs for Christmas.
Tough call on the drip-rail question. A drip-rail does give you a place to rest your fingertips when you stick your elbow out the window while cruising. At really high speeds this affords the outboard arm greater stability. I'd want to try it both ways before deciding.
Enjoying the videos! It’s a bummer about all the pock marks on the back panel on the chicken truck… looks like a 20-30 bird pile up. Hey I wonder when Big Bird did his tour with the RCAF??
so lucky the drip rails not rotted like most , like you i dont like the shaved drip look
Good progress. Could you just lay another skin over the back of the cab?
That will be in the box when your done.
Lol, Alan was watching Scott and Jim working on the Lincoln. Purrfect.
Parts of the back panel will still be exposed so I have to repair it
I don't know if you can hear it with your sander running, but you have a massive swarm of bees, when your using it. I don't know if it's the lead paint or the sound of the sander that attracts them, the burning flannel probably helps calm them some but bee careful.
If you haven't already, maybe invest in 1 or 2 good fire extinguishers. Merry Christmas!
My f100 is a hardtop convertible having rusted the perimeter of the drip rails
Merry Christmas young man!! I hope Santa leaves you a big sack of loot under the tree this year!!! I hope we get to see a lot more of this truck in the new year. Thank you for all your hard work and determination!!! Stay safe Kyle!!
I am looking forward to watching you redo the led work.. Its a lost art..
the look on your face when the mung fell out of that first roof pillar was priceless! lol
I feel Allan's enthusiasm coming through the video. He certainly doesn't hide his emotions. Any chance that you will put a sunroof in the truck, or maybe t-tops?
Stripping meow. Deleading meow meow.. Getting to the chop.. goud, berry goud.
I used hand plainer blades for scrapers I did the bottom of my 31 foot Silverton boat several times. scraping paint is I think a painless way to remove paint with out damaging the parent surface I like a squared blunt edge try it its amazing
Brake check the rowdy chickens..😂 I'm just glad to know the history. The old chicken truck is coming along nicely. I just wish you would take the comments more serious and weld in a truck load of bracing to make them UA-cam fab hands happy...lol
As always your skills amaze me. You are my spirit animal!
I love how you approach possible comments from people who don’t know shit about shit but still have an opinion
You are entitled to your opinion but I disagree.
Hahaha thanks!
now that we know the history of the truck the yellow make absolute sense to me. It's high visibility yellow so the vehicle can be easily seen on the flighline. The spot you sanded on the roof that shined up proved it for me. I painted gallons of that color on equipment when i was first in the US Air Force.
I don't want to be critical but... This project seems to be dragging on a bit... I've watched several of those car shows on the Discovery Channel and they can knock one of these out in about an hour. But I'll keep watching.. Cheers from your loyal viewer in a shed.
That might be so wi the magic of distal cameras , but how much do the do off camera and how many can join sheet metal as good as this guy without filling over with body filler?
Just joshing with kyle 😁@@paulanderson6530
Hey Randahl, I actually finished this project in about 8 hours 6 months ago. Thanks to the magic of editing I'll be able to drag the videos out for at least another 2 years
😆😆You are a real pro..@@CarterAutoRestyling
@@shedbythetracks The reason why a project is done on TV in an hour is they aren't filmed north of the 49th Parallel where paint takes weeks to dry... Plus Reality TV isn't fireproof!😆
I enjoy watching your overall process, but my favorite part in this video was the paint scraping - mostly because I wasn't doing it.
Haha yeah I'm all scraped out
I subscribed to the guy's channel you recommended that looks a lot like you. If he turns out to not be subscription worthy then I am holding you personally responsible. I didn't see a link to Allen's channel? I saw he moved his paw. Thanks so much for explaining the lead seams and how to deal with it. I have to deal with the same spots on my 53. I don't need anymore videos on how to put lead on a shiney flat panel in a shallow dent. I need real world mine sucks kind of video with random fire. Thank you for your time. Sorry so long. Now I made it longer saying sorry so long. I'm trapped in a loop.
I think you must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque while you were in your loop. This is Allan's channel
Damn you brownies, damn you.@@CarterAutoRestyling
I just watched and subscribed to your brothers channel. Thanks for the tip.@@CarterAutoRestyling
Another great video ... really liked the heads up on lead joints ... cool history on the truck ... I like the meatl rod drip rails ... gonna try to join in tomorrow ... my internet is not working too well ... really getting exciting now ...
Super mad expert skills, you got em'. I enjoy your program I always learn something new.
I like your 35 sedan you don't really need flawless pant to enjoy driving them, I am surprised that your malibu looks as good as it does, being that you drive it in winter shit on the roads
Knowing that this 1953 truck most likely served with the RCAF, I wonder if the airplanes that were in service there at that time could maybe somewhat inform the future styling? The Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck would fit the bill nicely because the first serial production planes entered service in 1953.
Speaking about aesthetics, the CF-100 Mark 1 prototype came from the factory painted gloss black overall with white lightning bolts running down the fuselage and engines (I will not put a link here in order to avoid any potential problems with UA-cam policies, but it is not very difficult to find images of a CF-100 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Trenton, Ontario which wears a very attractive looking remake of this prototype livery).
But there is more, especially with regards to the nicknames that contemporary pilots gave this plane (according to Wikipedia): "Amongst RCAF pilots, the Canuck was affectionately known as the "Clunk", the name has been attributed to the noise produced by the forward landing gear during retraction into its well after takeoff. Another common, less attractive, nickname was the "Lead Sled", a reference to its heavy controls and general lack of maneuverability, a nickname that was shared with a number of other 1950s aircraft."
After watching today's video I would say that "Lead Sled" might be a totally apropriate nickname for your truck (no offence intended to your project as such of course) . :-)
Kyle, I believe I would reuse the drip cap. It would keep the integrity of the old truck and possibly be quicker.
I just wanted to let you know that the more the yellow paint disappears, the more I like the truck. Cheers!
Haha same here, the yellow was terrible!
I believe the factory radio antenna for these pickups was a two-post side mount on the driver's side A-pillar where the vent is on the passenger side.
I think your custom drip rail makes sense with this build. Really enjoying this series.
This episode are extra fire,, 🔥😎🔥
30 K subscribers,, 🥳🤘
Cheers and Happy Holidays Kyle,, ☀🌟💖❄🌿☃🌿❄💖🌟☀
That explains Big bird having to get a job on a children's tv program after the incident.
Not sure Big Bird was the same before the brake check 🤔
This seems to be a lot like archeology; digging reveals the secrets of the past!
Love your work great video
Nice work, Kyle!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
I’ve really enjoyed this build
Well another fine video still waiting for the chop but your keeping it interesting
Looking forward to seeing more. New color of finished truck, same military color? Cheers ❤😃✌️👍
New colour, I can't stand yellow haha
I’m loving the progress on the chicken truck! Can’t wait for the chop!
Wow! I really like the drip rail design, nice and clean. Removing the skin from those a-pillars is brilliant. Man oh man do you make good decisions.
Don't you hate it when you are right Kyle about someone else's body work? You sure have to putt
a lot of bracing just to cut something up. But you don't want your nightmare cab collapsing before you are finished. Always fun to watch you work. My best to Edgar and Poe and a Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas Larry!
Thanks for another exciting whiz-bang video. This one kept me on the edge of my seat about half the time.
Looking forward to your live event at 12n cst on Sunday, December 17th. I'm glad you documented the historical hieroglyphics on the roof! What an exciting discovery! OhYeah, 🐔 🚚 is progressing nicely.
Thank you! See you tomorrow on the live stream!
RCAF truck..........I would have sworn it was own by a lead mining company. Don't know why though.
Hey hi. Chopping the roof will very interesting, if this way works well, that’ll be the way I will do mine. Thanks for being the one to do it.
Right on! You can learn from my mistakes haha
Nice work Kyle, please keep at it!
I hear that one can secure the pelts of deceased bovines that can be fashioned into reasonably fireproof garments. Just a thot....😊 Keep it going Kyle! Anxiously awaiting each episode!
The rare alpine bovine has the most fire retardant hide IMO, it has to do with their exclusively chipmunk diet.
@@rideswift hahahahaha!!!
I'm sure that your cats will find the aroma of deceased bovine pelts very interesting.
Whenever you say this is going to be a rewarding experience for all of us and there is fire involved--IT IS A REWARDING EXPERIENCE!😎
The mad scientist in me wants to create chickens with titanium beaks. Great video Kyle
I think everybody knows what a great Bodyman you are… Self deprecation… Selling yourself short works for this channel… You are an artist….The part is not lost on your audience!
Interesting. Yellow makes sense for high visibility, but I was assuming something like maybe a local power company or logging company or something like that. In the USAF, they paint everything blue, and of course, in the army, they painted everything of that era green since it was the Big Green Machine prior to Desert Storm. Painting everything including frames is a very military thing to do. They seem to have endless supplies of paint. I've known of service members who painted their own personal vehicles with the military equivalent of Imron aircraft paint.
Thanks Philip! Most of our aircraft was painted the same yellow colour
RCAF planes were indeed yellow. In this movie (Death Hunt) the RCAF brought out their entire air force... all one of them-lol: ua-cam.com/video/cHGHcqZ0RdI/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=55
I like your thought process on the Chop, i don't like how they just Chop and Butt Weld the Pillars back together, especially when they Mig Weld them and then grind it all back, everything i've ever done in all my years of Coach & Motorbody building was to a Engineers Plans and Specs, from building Purpose Built Vehicles, to Buses, Mobile Home Body Conversions and Limo's etc.
I’ve been subscribed to RAC for a while now and I agree with you, his work is great and his following should be much more than what it currently is. Additionally, I believe your work is next level. The way you take a ripped and wrinkled panel and restore it to flawless straight lines is amazing.
Further more I always question why your channel and RAC are not well over 100k subscribers
That is one fine looking roof! Both my 64 and 65 "F" series roofs are a disaster. You've ruined me because I always thought you just bang it close and fill the rest!😢 Now my short comings are very apparent and I'm being forced to get better. My shrink says I should just try something easier like brain surgery but I can't stand the sight of blood!:( There are some of us that truly want to learn and appreciate the effort! Thanks from Wisconsin!
Kyle, to address the dents on the roof top and the back rear cab panel there’s a product you can find in the pharmacy aisle that might work in this application. Look for Fixodent Complete. Or for those stubborn areas, you might want to try Fixodent Ultra. Sincerely yours, Keyboard Expert # 147.
I don’t know if Mozart raises your paint scraping to a higher level or your paint scraping raises Mozart higher. You’re the Mozart of medal molding.
wow as usual,so out of the square and refreshing approach to a roof chop.....should make all the experts sit up and take notice.
i'm just loving this.....merry xmas
joe
I've been dreading welding the drip rails back onto my 50 Chevy after replacing the roof skin. Hoping for some good welding up side down pointers if you end up putting yours back on!
I always wondered why Big Bird seemed a little off kilter.
First, thanks for the provenance of the chicken truck, really enjoyed that. I'm looking forward to seeing this project as it is assembled.
I see that the charlatan from Shed by the Tracks is stirring up mischief again. It will serve him right if you stretch the series to three years. I won't be joining you for the live stream but wish you a very happy festive season, with best wishes from Pyromaniacs Anonymous.
Thanks George! The same to you!
I wonder if hood hinges off a 46-48 car would work? My 46 Chevy has about 7in long horizontal springs
You did it again! Made me laugh aloud..after "all 16ths wrench" - now, the reason for the dents on the back of the of the cab😂😅!
Looks good Kyle, you may not think we noticed, but I did pick up on the fact that you lined up your kick panel bead rolls with the ones on the door, that’s why I enjoy your channel! It’s your attention to detail ! Looking forward to more.
[Royal Canadian Airforce March plays in the background] OOH! We can't call it a Chicken Truck anymore, can we now? [waits while a squadron of Canadair Tutors flies overhead] Maybe we could call it the Kyle B-1C a.k.a. Canadair Egg-Dropper?
You took the outer steel off to be able to weld all the layers - just like Make It Kustom 😎 [Tips from the Lincoln Zephyr]
That roundbar raingutter idea is a good one , something like that they did at 50's. The stock gutters are just too worktruckish for the custom truck. Keep up the good work!
Love the idea of the moulded in drip rail. That’s going to be a great kustom touch.
Brake checking the chickens 😂
Shrinking disk might be your best friend on all those little dents on the back panel
I think my dad used the metal rod to form drip rails on his '37 Chevy Ute project. Looked pretty decent when done. Love watching what you are doing here with your truck...
Hot lead a Big Iron on His Hip. Kool history lesson on the truck.
Big Bird got a little aggressive and turned to a life of crime. That info just isn't available anywhere else.
There is a huge coverup by Sesame Street
Some type of drip rail would look good. IMO. All the best in the new year. Cheers
There was bound to be at least one video of primarily sent repair. Thank god for your Bulls Eye pick
Dont worry about what the keyboard engineers have to say. If they dont understand what and why you are doing things then I doubt if they have ever done this type of work. I live in the rust belt with limited funds so I can relate to your way of saving scrap iron. I find it to be a challenge and enjoy resurrecting "unrestorable" vehicles. I wouldn't know where to start if I began a project with solid floors and doors that would shut correctly. Building a spider web of bracing only locks the twisted mess in a twisted manner. Your way of thinking is correct.... make a datum and build from there, it'll end up squarer than the factory. Keep up the good work!
Do you save the lead for fishing weights? Also, you will never need a source of tinder if you are lost in the woods with that jacket.
comment down below
Always great stuff. I was thinking that you were going to raise the roof by about the same amount that you were removing from the body. Was there a change of plans?
That's still the plan!
It's funny that keyboard warriors would want you to brace up a twisted cab. lol
They are all over a short I made about serpentine belt sleeves making it a pain to do belts and that just shows the desire of some to argue about anything.
Truck is starting to meet the vision!
Very excited to see the progression!🎉
Hi Kyle....
Oh no! You scraped off the important calculations (or cat-ulations) that you wrote on the paint.
Great story on the history of the back of the cab.
Yes, RAC Garage certainly does do some nice work...
Another shirt and coat ruined. No wonder you can't have nice things and people complain that you aren't dressed in your finery while welding and cutting.
Allan is amazing as a reviewer. I bet he knows how to paws a video really well.
Don't worry Joe, the calculations were carefully documented and filed away for future reference prior to any scraping
@@CarterAutoRestyling All is well in the world now.
Kustome without drip rails! Only drips have rails!
I fell 💤 asleep while watching and dreamed a hive of apidaes were after me and i woke up screaming and scared my wife.
Never worry about armchair egg-spurts, lol.
Kyle how much of a chop are you thinking of? Keep up the good work!
Hey Scott! I was thinking around a 3" chop
Taking good Sharp Kyle
Super Kool, with the Canadian air force history. Now to become radical 50s Kustom , R&C dream truck inspired! Go Daddy O go, yer rockin it,,,,,,,Izzy Strong,,,,,
It's got plenty of bracing, and you would know, cause, your there building it!!,,,,,,Izzy,,,,,,
Ya really want the 35 Chev (Also 35-36 Ford) shaped drip rail. Of course, that's Izzy's opinion, and , your ideas may vary, tho I cant see why! Keep Cracking,, Looks awesome,,,,,,Izzy,,,,
Love your work, love the opera in the background.....bliss.....Merry Christmas!!!
Mozart and metallarbeiten. Und ein kleiner Vorsprung. Ja, ja, ja!
Kyle, is it safe, healthy or even sane to hold my breath till the choppy choppy starts next week? I'm on pins and needles in anticipation! The agony!
Dent repairs and metal finishing next week, chop after that..
The classical background music is outstanding.
Going to be hard to think of it as the chicken truck once the yellow is gone
Good day Sir, if you wouldn't mind I'd like to make a few suggestions to enhance the viewers listening pleasure. Here are a few piano Concerto's for you to consider;
Rachmaninov - Piano concerto #2
Greig - Piano concerto in A minor
Bartok - Piano concerto #2
Hope these meet up to you standards.
Also, as far as planting my fat hiney on truck roofs, It makes for a more stable bipod mount when shooting prarie dogs .... Those buggers are a challenge past 300 yards. The more you know!!
Chicken truck is coming right along! Take care!
Brake check the chickens and their beaks hit it, rothlmao !! even kinda looks like a small imagine of big bird under his/her them/ it /WHATEVER namesake dent .. Keep the great humor and outstanding body work videos
