At 70 years old, I know my opinion don't mean much but if you were my son, I'd sure be bragging about your talents all around town. And I do mean that. There are not many out there who possess the talent and the ambition you display. That is an excellent repair.
"Bodywork is painful, tedious repetition" Most of us guys are married so that doesn't bother us. I wouldn't be ashamed to drive that fender into town at all.. nice job!
I really enjoyed seeing you bring that mangled fender back into shape. You get a lot done with skilled patience and labor. You're doing your part to preserve these classic cars and trucks. Thank you. 👍😎
Your patience and humility are inspiring. Anyone who has tried to do body work knows how hard it is to learn and to master the "feel" of the metal. You give those of us who are trying to learn the art, a glimmer of hope. My 41 Ford half ton salutes you and thanks you for your genius.
I enjoy watching the repair and seeing the panels go from trashed to saved. I don't mind it being videod in fast time,keeps things moving. Great work and content
Where did you get your ability to work this magic? Seriously, you are extremely talented. Do you have a video that tells your story? I think all of us would love to hear it! Much respect sir. Thank you for the great videos.
Holy crapola, that fender was hideous. It was an educating stuff again, thanks for posting this video! I think you are underrating your work. At this point the most showpeople finish it with bondo, some paint and call it as a showpiece.
It is not boring at all to those who respect the talent you have. You are a metal whisperer. That was an amazing job bringing that old metal back into shape.
Kyle, as usual I’m impressed with your metal shaping talent. Even for meatball surgery it has been saved from the recycle bin. When you get your humble explanation going, I always smile.
At around the 22:20 mark, I realised that I recognised the shape of the crack in the fender. It perfectly matches the stretch of river where Dan Hurd pans his best gold. Amazing! Honestly Kyle, I'd rather own a piece of your 'art' than have a new fender.
You're a metal magician. You rescue pieces that anyone else would scrap. You put more time in on rescuing the part than it is probably worth , but the results are awesome 👍. It would be cost prohibited to have someone do that amount of work unless it was a rare vehicle. I enjoy your talent and patience.
Watching you work teaches me that first you have to learn where the metal will go when you use a hammer and/or dolly on it. It also teaches me that unless you get the metal where it belongs simply forcing it to where you can weld it together and filling in the low spots is a waste of time. I never thought about the techniques and experience it takes to get to where you can fix damage to metal panels.
Your work is fantastic, an artist almost always sells themselves short and undervalues their work. You are the first one that I have joined as a patron as I find your work with metal to be great. I would like one day to see you finish a project to paint. Do you paint at all or farm that part out.
Thanks Pat I appreciate your support!. I have a couple of my own projects I want to paint eventually...I'm definitely not a pro painter and don't do painting for others, but I'm happy to ruin my own stuff if I had the time.
Wow, you brought back great memories of my Uncle ML! He was a body repair man long before Bondo and was a maestro with hammers, dollies, torches and lead.
I just laughed when I first saw that fender, and said no way, but the magic hammer and dolly did its work and you have an excellent job of restoration. Nobody today would even make the effort to repair a fender like that, but you're doing old school work Kyle, not many guys like you out there, and as always, I'm impressed!
I wouldn't call any of that a waste of time, I'd shoot some bedliner inside and run that fender just like it is, I think you did a great job with it, not all of us are looking for that Foose finish on everything we have and a truck like that can get just as much attention, keep up the great work Kyle and thanks for the tips 😉
@@CarterAutoRestyling I've tried having nice things but you come out of the store and someone has messed up your stuff, now I drive crap people want to park away from
I think one reason subs are not taking off is because yours are real not just a bunch of shinny paint over filler we try to put what we see into practice for our own stuff. I do thank you because it really does help us.
You are very talented and l hope you are successful with your UA-cam channel. I'm glad I found your channel 🙂. Oh yeah you look way better without the beard
I am 68 and have been welding for quite a while. But I have never tackled sheet metal until recently. I have 3 old trucks . 1964, 1965 c10 and a 1979 c30. Trying to repair rockers and fenders on all these. You are really talented and I wish you well . Thanks for sharing your experience. Great job . David.
Most impressive work man!! I'm just learning body work at 60 yrs old. I'd be extremely happy with that fender on my 1949 Chevy truck. I've also learned a lot from your video. Keep em coming man!
I like to watch you work. It's fascinating to watch the way your brain and hands know what to do. I also look forward to seeing the finished product. You have a special talent that takes a lot of patience and work ethic. Good job.
In every of your videos, I take alway lots of tiny tricks an Informationen to improve my own work. Thank you! I like to watch your videos, even if they would be in slow motion....
99% of junkyards would have sold you that fender for $5. next to it would be the same fender in "not bad" shape for $400. Very nice work. I'm glad I found your channel. Thank you for your time.
After a hard week of hammering cutting grinding and welding ,like to watch you tube vids of people doing the same thing. Make me feel better about my job choice. Suppose it a bit like games watching gamer vid but with something to show for it at the end
The something to show for it at the end is what makes it all worthwhile. Glad you feel better about your choice of career, sometimes it can be hard to justify doing this type of thing haha
It is amazing how you gave that terribly damaged fender a new lease of life. Transformed from junk to a perfectly viable part. Thanks for all the tips. Mart.
Good morning, when you said you destroyed that fender I immediately didn't believe you because you're more talented than that! As a matter of fact you're amazing I've never seen anyone that can work metal like you. Keep up the good work, you will really go somewhere one day! By the way I'm 72 years old and I've been around body shops!
There are a hundred guys filing points and getting old junkers running again. But I started watching your videos because of your appearance on CWM and enjoy the obvious skill sets shown on both channels now. It's a mystery to me why you guys don't have more subscribers.
I've been binge watching your 47 to 55 truck videos this holiday weekend. My Dad was big on this series of Chevy/GMC trucks. He had his own shop in coastal NC for general auto repair but these old trucks were his hobby and passion (I leaned more towards Jeeps). His wrecker was a 47 Chevy 2 ton with a home made wrecker and his daily driver was a 1st series '55 that he restomoded before it was even a thing. The shop included a small junkyard where he kept a few dozen parts trucks. He passed in the early '80s but your knowledge of these trucks reminds me of his. Keep up the good work.
I don't like video games, but the talents you display, are not at all boring. To watch you ply your skills is like watching a magic trick in slow motion. Those of us, with an interest in the art of restoration, enjoy those moments non enthusiasts don't even see performed in front of them. Thank you for sharing, and carry on.
I'll tell ya why I enjoy watching this stuff use to be a welder got injured can't work no more so that why I enjoy watching a young man with great bodyman skills work on ole jalopies. I miss my trade like you would not believe.
IMO this is one of your better videos, it shows one piece of scrap reworked, with skill and at just the right speed, with good short explanations of what your doing throughout. Great job 👍
This one skipped the formalities and went straight to hell. 😊My grandpa's old truck had a crack like that. He welded it every year. Eventually most of the fender was weld. Thank you for the entertainment or whatever you like to call it. Cheers!
I had a set of Model A fenders like that...weld on top of weld on top of weld.... wish I would have kept them, they were interesting to look at if nothing else haha. Thanks for watching!
You are an artist sir. Much respect for your skills. These skills are being lost unless we get more people interested in manipulating metals. We cant rely on availability of replacement parts and even accurate ones. I really find this interesting, and inspiring, that what most people would write off, can actually be repaired, which is more environmentally friendly than constantly replacing and using huge amounts of filler. As governments want to direct the population towards electric vehicles, I believe that actually what will happen is that repairing older vehicles will be a precious skill that we should encourage. Electric vehicles in rural areas may prove to be impractical and the older trucks and cars will be valued.
Thank you! There's definitely going to be a time when replacement parts are no longer available so it's going to take a lot of creativity to keep this stuff going.
Thanks again for posting . I really enjoy watching how you repair these fenders and the way you explain what your doing and why you do things in a particular order .It will certainly help anyone considering fixing there own cars
The rear fenders on my37 Chev PU were pretty banged up, but no missing metal from rust. Surprisingly the only real rust was two spots about 2 inches long where the floor pan meets the back of the cab. Currently the fenders are in Minnesota with a guy that has a reputation of a good metal repairman. I could have picked up Fiberglass Repos, but I would rather have all original metal. I'm building a Resto-mod. I've boxed the frame, installed a FATMAN MII front end and an LT1 from a 2014 Silverado. But overall, my intent is for it to appear as close to original but obviously lowered.
You have great patience and do great work great work wish there was a lot more new millennial young man like you doing stuff like this and teach you others good job on that project!!
i think it is safe to say that those of us that can't wait for each episode you bring us are never going to be bored watching you bring a piece of junk back to a usable life again.....i have a pair of 47 ford guards that are way worse than what you just patched up.....my plan is the same,make em usable again BUT if i don't succeed i will bog em up and use them to make a fibreglass mould. these guards are pretty rare down here in oz so any effort is worthwhile and watching your videos makes it a less painful experience,so thanks for your expertise.....joe
These videos remind me of the commercials with Dr. Rick on how not to become your parents. Who else watches videos on dent repair? That's right, your dad. I enjoy these so much that I bought the sound track. Keep saving the world one fender at a time.
Excellent presentation. You give the viewer a real sense of the scope of work required to repair that ridiculously hopeless fender. You have really been cranking the videos out lately and your work is appreciated.
At 70 years old, I know my opinion don't mean much but if you were my son, I'd sure be bragging about your talents all around town. And I do mean that. There are not many out there who possess the talent and the ambition you display. That is an excellent repair.
Your opinion is worth as much as everyone else's, and yes he's a talented hardworking young Man, very rare indeed.
Hi Ed! Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you watching.
He's on UA-cam so no one will ever know he wasn't your son. Brag away 🤣🤣
Same here!
Yeah, he's really hard-working and talented.
Still amazed how you can rescue something that damaged and make it look so good. 👍🏴
Thanks! It's really not as hard as I make it look
Love my heritage FOREVER SCOTLAND. Much love from michigan.
Hell yeah... I'd run it. She's got 100% character now. Great job. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!!
Be patient it will come out been doing it for 55yrs
A mangled metal menagerie posing as a fender and you brought it back from way beyond the brink to a decent serviceable unit. Very impressive, sir.
That's a good way of putting it haha. Thanks!
"Bodywork is painful, tedious repetition" Most of us guys are married so that doesn't bother us. I wouldn't be ashamed to drive that fender into town at all.. nice job!
"Most of us guys are married so that doesn't bother us"
Oooooo dangerous but true!
@@Joe.Doucette Ha!
It would look pretty sharp strapped onto the back of your T...be the talk of the town for sure. Sorry to hear about the marriage thing.
@@CarterAutoRestyling Ha!
I really enjoyed seeing you bring that mangled fender back into shape. You get a lot done with skilled patience and labor. You're doing your part to preserve these classic cars and trucks. Thank you. 👍😎
I'm trying at least! Thanks for watching!
Your patience and humility are inspiring. Anyone who has tried to do body work knows how hard it is to learn and to master the "feel" of the metal. You give those of us who are trying to learn the art, a glimmer of hope. My 41 Ford half ton salutes you and thanks you for your genius.
I enjoy watching the repair and seeing the panels go from trashed to saved. I don't mind it being videod in fast time,keeps things moving. Great work and content
Thanks Michael! I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Where did you get your ability to work this magic? Seriously, you are extremely talented. Do you have a video that tells your story? I think all of us would love to hear it! Much respect sir. Thank you for the great videos.
My story is I can't afford a decent vehicle so I had to learn to fix junk haha. Kind of a trial by fire. Thanks for watching!
His jacket tells the story...
Unreal, Kyle! That fender was quite a challenge. You keep demonstrating that in the world of of old cars, anything is possible. Awesome.
Thanks and yup, with enough time, stubbornness and money anything is possible
Holy crapola, that fender was hideous. It was an educating stuff again, thanks for posting this video!
I think you are underrating your work. At this point the most showpeople finish it with bondo, some paint and call it as a showpiece.
Thanks! Bondo has saved a lot of panels like this one over the years
It is not boring at all to those who respect the talent you have. You are a metal whisperer. That was an amazing job bringing that old metal back into shape.
Well I love to see your work. I'm way older than you and I pick up all kinds of tips. thank you for sharing.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it and are able to take away some tips!
Kyle, as usual I’m impressed with your metal shaping talent. Even for meatball surgery it has been saved from the recycle bin. When you get your humble explanation going, I always smile.
Thanks Steve!
The metal genius strikes again 👍great job making that fender usable again
No genius here haha! Thanks for watching!
At around the 22:20 mark, I realised that I recognised the shape of the crack in the fender. It perfectly matches the stretch of river where Dan Hurd pans his best gold. Amazing!
Honestly Kyle, I'd rather own a piece of your 'art' than have a new fender.
Haha great stuff! Thanks for watching!

It would be cost prohibited to have someone do that amount of work unless it was a rare vehicle. I enjoy your talent and patience.
Thanks Tim! A new fender would be cheaper, but at some point we won't be able to buy parts for these anymore so I save what I can.
Watching you work teaches me that first you have to learn where the metal will go when you use a hammer and/or dolly on it. It also teaches me that unless you get the metal where it belongs simply forcing it to where you can weld it together and filling in the low spots is a waste of time. I never thought about the techniques and experience it takes to get to where you can fix damage to metal panels.

Truly amazing. I never thought you could rescue this even close to the way you have. Great work.

Right on! Glad I could bring back some memories. Your uncle sounded like a true craftsman!
I’m always blown away at what you can repair. Thanks for showing what is possible
Thanks for watching!
Your the master of repairing really damaged body parts!!!
Kudos from the Yakima Valley in Washington State
Thanks David! It's tough to make this stuff any worse than it was!
I just laughed when I first saw that fender, and said no way, but the magic hammer and dolly did its work and you have an excellent job of restoration. Nobody today would even make the effort to repair a fender like that, but you're doing old school work Kyle, not many guys like you out there, and as always, I'm impressed!
Thanks Ken! As these trucks get older and harder to find people will eventually have to repair fenders like this one, I'm just ahead of my time haha
I've seen him do a few like this--one gets the idea he can do it anytime he wants.
Loved the time lapse shots. I love to see the hard work you put in even though it sped up.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I wouldn't call any of that a waste of time, I'd shoot some bedliner inside and run that fender just like it is, I think you did a great job with it, not all of us are looking for that Foose finish on everything we have and a truck like that can get just as much attention, keep up the great work Kyle and thanks for the tips 😉
Thanks Jeff! People like me can't have nice things, beaters are way more fun!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I've tried having nice things but you come out of the store and someone has messed up your stuff, now I drive crap people want to park away from
Goose isn’t that great when not on camera
Foose
Lots of patients and kindness to stay with it. That’s the makings of a Craftsmanship.
I could watch you do this all day long! You are an artist!
You truly are a metal wizard! You turned a useless piece of scrap metal into a very nice fender that I would love to have on my truck.
From a old guy in Texas I can't tell you how impressed I am great job!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!
I think one reason subs are not taking off is because yours are real not just a bunch of shinny paint over filler we try to put what we see into practice for our own stuff. I do thank you because it really does help us.
Thanks Mark! Well if I have to start copying everyone else to get the channel to take off then I'd rather just stick with the subscribers I have.
Good stuff.saving the old and nearly unsaveable shows talent and is commendable.plus without doing that you wouldn't have anything to record!!
Thank you. If I couldn't save old junk I'd just record my cats haha
As a lifelong metal and paint guy it's cool seeing a younger person work the metal .
Nice work.
Thanks, I'm always happy to hear from any old school body guys that enjoy watching this stuff!
You are very talented and l hope you are successful with your UA-cam channel. I'm glad I found your channel 🙂. Oh yeah you look way better without the beard
Now about that jacket lol
Thanks David! Although I kind of liked the beard haha
You're demonstrations have given me enough confidence to tackle a couple of my own cracked fenders. Thank you.
That's awesome, good luck with your repair!
there are not many guys like you around in our plug and play world today keep up the good work
Thanks!

Thanks David, it sounds like you've got a great collection of old trucks. I'm a big fan of the 60-66 and 73-87 era! Good luck with your projects!
Well done, sir. I had to choose between playing a video game or watching you fix the fender and , happily, I chose you.
The jury is still out on whether you made the right choice haha, but thanks for watching!!
I didn’t realize being left handed was an improvement in speed with hammer! Great job, envious of your talent.
That and the magic of the fast forward button in editing haha
Most impressive work man!! I'm just learning body work at 60 yrs old. I'd be extremely happy with that fender on my 1949 Chevy truck. I've also learned a lot from your video. Keep em coming man!
Amazing work. It's always interesting to see people do metal finishing on stuff that was basically junk.
Thanks, it's definitely far from metalfinished, but hopefully it's less of a piece of junk than before!
Don't under estimate your talents my friend. Watching a craftsman at work is a truly 🙌 a treat.
Thanks for watching!
I like to watch you work. It's fascinating to watch the way your brain and hands know what to do. I also look forward to seeing the finished product. You have a special talent that takes a lot of patience and work ethic. Good job.
thanks for taking the time to demo your skill with simple hand tools

Bodywork is an art. It takes time talent and patience. Which you have. Great work.
Thank you!
I like the way you take the stuff from the scrapyard and work with that and bring it back instead of getting parts. Bhetter viewing 👍😁
It is amazing how you gave that terribly damaged fender a new lease of life. Transformed from junk to a perfectly viable part. Thanks for all the tips. Mart.
Thanks Mart!
Never get tired of watching the skill you have not many people have what you have.keep them coming we will keep watching.
Thanks Willie! I appreciate you watching!

Thanks, glad to hear you like this kind of thing!
Excellent work and detail. You are a wonder of technic. Great to see you work.
I love watching old vehicles being fixed up

Watching metal take shape is one of my favorite things to watch.
Great work!
Glad you enjoy this stuff, thanks!
You look good all shaven and trimmed up.
You did the best that you could with that fender and good work.

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Looks great compared to what you started with and no filler in it. Love the dry humor
