This Man is impressive. I did auto body repair and restoration for over 20 years starting in the early 80s. Back then you would have to fabricate lots of parts because replacement panels/pieces were not readily available. You Sir are a true master of the art.
I had some crackhead (bonafide) ding up a miata with a cinder block . The sheet metal used everywhere other than the aluminum hood is very hard/brittle it prefers to crack rather than being malleable.
I remember the '80s... Lots of "Cave and Pave", in those days... Especially under B.C. Govt. Insurance (they didn't want to pay for much of anything)... 😒😒😒
Thanx for explaining everything. I know nothing about metal working, welding, and cars, but with your help it all makes sense. I'm 71 today and remember when cars were so different. I am glad I happened upon your videos.
I watch a lot of different people doing this type of work on UA-cam. Your understanding of how metal reacts to heat amazes me. Your work is on par with Cornfield Customs and you do it all by hand. It is nice to see craftsmanship and someone who truly cares about the quality of their work. I watch another UA-camr from Canada (won't mention his name) who basically fixes everything with body filler. I aspire to work metal the way you do. To me, it is a matter of personal pride. Kudos to you Kyle.
Luckily I wear reading glasses when I'm watching videos, so when the camera went out of focus I just had to take my glasses off and the footage was perfectly in focus.
Having all the fancy tools is one thing, having the skill to do even basic metal work eludes the v.vast population, we love seeing alternative methods.
I love the time travel episode!!! I took the opportunity to buy some 28cent/gallon gas.. went to an all-original member Guess Who concert and took a couple of pot shots at Oswald from the grassy knoll. (I missed.. sorry) Can't wait for the next time travel episode. I know I'm all about the blue car... who's the other guy? Cheers from your loyal viewer.
I learned the same method of "tack every inch, grind, planish then weld end to end" from a very talented British coachbuilder/fabricator... but using oxy/acet. A few decades of doing it using the "weld a bit and let it cool method" sucked compared to the way you do it. So much less warping this way. Now as a senior citizen (read that "Old Fart") I'm trying to learn this with TIG. Fun stuff, when you can learn by playing instead of at a 9-5 (or more) job. Anyone who says you need to weld a bit and let it cool, with oxy/acet or tig hasn't been shown how do it properly or just won't learn. MIG is a whole different story. As usual, Kyle.... nice work.
Thanks Joe! As my old boss used to say "I pay you to work, not to learn" I had to learn tig welding on my own time or be banished to mig welding for all eternity
Thanks much.... Im the guy with the 35 Master.... just trying to do the same edge repair as youve just done. Perfect! Glad to see someone loves these old Chevies
Another beautiful repair from the Savage Saskatchewan Savant! I learn something every time. Looking forward to all of the upcoming projects! Cheers from the junkyard...
In the mid 60"s when I was in High School I worked for a Mechanic shop in a small town in Northern Calif. , the shop owner had a 36 chevy with a 292 six and a powerglide open drive line , it had dual carb manifold and split exhaust , it was his daily driver and our shop truck . Very nice work on that fender and it was great to see a 36 Chevy again .
That is an amazing repair to the fender. It looks flawless. Your repairs made sense after seeing all the cracks that were welded before. I'm looking forward to seeing you get the blue car on the road. She is a beauty.
Ah, the old days when your jacket had the appearance of being just of the hook, before you became a trend setter, fashion leader.and an icon of the workshop catwalk. Summed up perfectly in few words by Scott of CWM as sartorial elegance. I reckon though your jeans are about 15 squats away from becoming shorts. BTW great informative video as usual.
It's always a pleasure to watch things come together. Fine work and with simple tools. My Dad always said. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. Thanks Kyle.
Still down playing your work whem most of us wish we could do half as good work ... this was a great video showing lot of techniqe and tricks ... great vide Kyle ... and I'm the other guy that likes the 35 sedan ...
Two videos in three days, most impressive, thank you! I did get a little dizzy when you showed all the angles you check. However I did recover and was able to follow along. Great job as usual. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁
My wife just walked in and asked what I was watching.....she said my jaw was totally dropped to my chest in awe of your amazing work. Blows me away seeing you work this repair.
Been watching your vids for a couple years now and always looking for your next one. :) You do such great work and do it in a small shop showing others that we don't need a big fancy shop with the newest tools to do what we like with our own hands. One of the things i've learned over the years is that a huge percentage of people who say "I wish I could do that" are only lacking two things...determination and patience. when I started out I had no tools and no place to use them. I started gathering tools at garage sales and when I could afford it I'd buy a tool I needed. Turned my horses birthing stall into a small shop (about 12' x 17') by laying down wood pallets level with each other and buying used plywood screwing to the pallets underneath for a floor. That first street rod won a 1st place trophy at the Goodguys car show "Budweiser's Best Home-built corral" in Puyallup, WA years ago, taking 5 years to build. All I had was an old Arc welder. I always tell the young guys to get off their ass and stop telling yourself you can't do it, get off the dope and booze and go for it...stop listening to others who say you can't do it..and if your wife or girlfriend says no then find a new one... don't be a pussy. Now (Thank the good Lord) i have a huge shop and a Hobart welder like Kyles and have built many many many projects with it...and made some of my own tools etc. So Kyle thanks again for showing your humble skills!!!! And thank God every day! Edit: By "humble" I mean you do excellent work better than most and are a humble example. peace I just realized somebody will probably think "how did he keep from burning his wood floor and shop down?" Good question because back then I didn't know about fiberglass blankets that protect from weld spatter/sparks...I must have been real lucky or used sheets of plastic laminate because laminate (formica) is "almost" fireproof...almost haha. It takes a very hot fire to burn it (I was a cabinet maker/countertop maker back then). Hey Kyle, I think I've burned more shirts up than you!!! hahahaha
May I just express my utmost respect about your work! I've watched a bunch of your videos before attempting a repair like this myself - and even together with someone who had alot more experience in sheet metal than myself, it was a BUNCH of hard labor! Now that I've done it once, I'm glad if I never have to do it again, but my hats off to you for doing this out of free will in your leisure time!
I'm gaining on you. I was a full week behind, but I've cut that down to 2 hours after you posted. At this rate, I will soon be watching before you produce it!
Watching you work is always a pleasure; it's even better that my shed looks just like yours! (without the cats lol) I have a tig welder too, but at 75 yrs old, it sort of frightens me a bit (read a lot) and I haven't used it yet. I have watched videos etc., etc., but it just sort of confuses me a bit, thanks to the after effects of a stroke. I have to start one day I guess.🧐😕🙄👴
I have welded for over 45 years as a boilermaker, and used a tig most of the time and you are right on, the more stops and starts you have the more srink you will get, if you want to have the dip go the other way weld from the other side, weld pushes away from the side you weld, might be easier to work........
I care about the car but my love is in the truck, and it sounds like a great plan for it with the T-5, I'm running one in my 47 Ford truck and they are a great addition to any project, beautiful work as always Kyle 👏
Well Kyle that was another outstanding video chock full of stuff. The cats were on top of their game today with all of the antics, the way they carry on. It was almost too much cat content. (just kidding). Anyway, I enjoy your shows. Thanks.
Great job Kyle👌perfect made replacment panel(with just few basic tools),and excellent final result.it looks like you're coming from the really old days,when who did this job HAD to be good,and knowing the dill.👌👍
The repair turned out great! So bad this video wasn’t around when I was working on my 31 Ford coupe fenders. I’m excited about all the projects. Something different. Never know what you’re gonna put out but I’m excited anyway they’re all gonna be great when you get them finished, they’re great. They are shoot. I wish I had one in my yard for a yard art.
Hey Kyle, good video it’s good to see you getting back on the truck and finally getting that patch finished up, and may I say a beautiful job on it. I love how you take your time and work it so it looks like it’s factory. Can’t wait for your next video ok. Later
Very well done fantastic work. For us mear mortals its not a job many of us can do. Im a welder fabricator by trade and ive engineered a lot of stuff but it take special skills to get to this flawless degree of metal working
His skill level is next to none! He has forgot more about metal working than most will ever know. He is a delight to watch!
This Man is impressive. I did auto body repair and restoration for over 20 years starting in the early 80s. Back then you would have to fabricate lots of parts because replacement panels/pieces were not readily available. You Sir are a true master of the art.
He sure is. He has been my hairstylist for a while.
Carter hair re styling. I see you fit 4 vehicles in your boutique.
Thank you!

I like how the maestro of metal says he doesn't need to "get it perfect" and then proceeds to just blow your freaking mind.
Thanx for explaining everything. I know nothing about metal working, welding, and cars, but with your help it all makes sense. I'm 71 today and remember when cars were so different. I am glad I happened upon your videos.

"Rad!" -Dad
I know who you mean and agree with you . As of one month ago I unfollowed him , got tired of his body filler classes .
Some artists work in oil, you work in metal and your work is amazing!
After losing his Bondo sponsorship for his preferred artistic medium, he is stuck with using lead. . .
I have to agree, amazing!!
I agree
Thanks very much!
The skill level of this man is hideously high. Thanks for sharing
Luckily I wear reading glasses when I'm watching videos, so when the camera went out of focus I just had to take my glasses off and the footage was perfectly in focus.
ha ha ha Good one!
Damn, this kid is good. People would pay handsomely for that quality of work.
Having all the fancy tools is one thing, having the skill to do even basic metal work eludes the v.vast population, we love seeing alternative methods.
Congratulations, you are a restoration artist and since you like cats, you must also be a good person!
Cats are always an integral part of precision bodywork.
Well played, Kyle.

Me thinks you set the dial too far back on the Way Back Machine Mr. Peabody!😆
@@glennnickerson8438 Artistic license...
You old timers sure know how to party! More time travel coming as soon as I get my flux capacitor back from the repair shop
I must be one of the two cause I'd really like to see the old sedan on the road. Would be pretty cool to see it next to Scott's 37

@@CarterAutoRestyling Time well spent, obviously.
How are you doing these days Joe?
Thanks much.... Im the guy with the 35 Master.... just trying to do the same edge repair as youve just done. Perfect! Glad to see someone loves these old Chevies
I love that old truck, your work is perfect to me, you say it's not, but it is.
Your "not too bad" looks pretty darn good to me 👍
I think that's partly Canadian modesty, but Kyle seems to be afflicted with a severe case.
Brother you gotta give yourself so much more credit!! Beautiful job..
"...decent fitment..."
Man, i'd say SUPER
love the cats bro. Do you ever just say f it. That's enough perfection for this piece of imperfection.
Great Tip: Mark new panel layout before cutting half the fender. As a newbie, I love these great tips.
Two uploads in a couple of days , thank you Kyle quality content as always fella
Another beautiful repair from the Savage Saskatchewan Savant! I learn something every time. Looking forward to all of the upcoming projects! Cheers from the junkyard...
Thanks!
It's inspirational to be comforted knowing you use the same method and level of organization in your work area that I attempt to achieve and maintain.
Artist at work!
In the mid 60"s when I was in High School I worked for a Mechanic shop in a small town in Northern Calif. , the shop owner had a 36 chevy with a 292 six and a powerglide open drive line , it had dual carb manifold and split exhaust , it was his daily driver and our shop truck . Very nice work on that fender and it was great to see a 36 Chevy again .
I will continue to watch whatever you film. It's nice having a few projects especially when parts take time to find fund and show up.
you are a good teacher
Not perfect to you is perfect to most folk. Nice work man 👌
Thanks Kyle....Great Fathers Day Treat.
Yay, the highly anticipated follow up video. It did not disappoint. Flawless detail in the finished product.
The explanation of how you see and do things is great I think I’m learning.
Nice unexpected footage. Making it look easy.
You are a great body man and what you do is a lost art.great job
That is an amazing repair to the fender. It looks flawless. Your repairs made sense after seeing all the cracks that were welded before. I'm looking forward to seeing you get the blue car on the road. She is a beauty.
the music is refreshing, I can almost see you pounding out a suit of armour for jousting knights..
You are an artist
Ah, the old days when your jacket had the appearance of being just of the hook, before you became a trend setter, fashion leader.and an icon of the workshop catwalk. Summed up perfectly in few words by Scott of CWM as sartorial elegance. I reckon though your jeans are about 15 squats away from becoming shorts. BTW great informative video as usual.
Thanks Kyle love the two videos in a week. I could watch you metal finish all day in real time so amazing, don’t be afraid to share more
My wife is so mad that I'm watching another Kyle video this weekend 😅
Thank you Mr. Carter for teaching us how to move forward on projects and encouraging us to work at our projects. Kind regards
It's always a pleasure to watch things come together. Fine work and with simple tools. My Dad always said. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. Thanks Kyle.
5)- I love how perfectly smooth body work comes out when it's lead that's being used. This truck will be beautiful when done!
The cats are the.fur ball on the cake, so to speak. You are a dynamo body man. Thanks!
You can tell how much you love doing this from the quality of your work mate !! Keep up the great work and thanks for your videos 🤙🤙🤙
This is craftsmanship on a level rarely seen today.
The Flower duet from the opera Lakmé, is also highly recommended welding music,, 💖🥰💖
Thank you for everything Kyle,, 👍🌟👍
Still down playing your work whem most of us wish we could do half as good work ... this was a great video showing lot of techniqe and tricks ... great vide Kyle ... and I'm the other guy that likes the 35 sedan ...
I would have been proud of myself if I had done the filler patch!😆 Thank you for showing us mere mortals how a true craftsman does things!
Beautiful work once again, Kyle!
Two videos in three days, most impressive, thank you! I did get a little dizzy when you showed all the angles you check. However I did recover and was able to follow along. Great job as usual. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁
You are the “JEDI” master. When I grow up I want to be just like you. I’m 66 is that to young?
My wife just walked in and asked what I was watching.....she said my jaw was totally dropped to my chest in awe of your amazing work. Blows me away seeing you work this repair.
Love that old truck
The "Fairy Dust" didn't work for you???🤣🤣🤣
I Love the work you do...
Keep it up...
💪💪💪
The Chev towncar brings the channel joy, keep on showing her rebuild.
As well as the skill on display, I love that copyright "forces" the classical sound track. Win/win as far as I'm concerned.
Great video Kyle, my first laugh of the week and really impressed with your work and commentary, always a nice break from mundanity 👍
Truly an art what you do with metal, as always a great job! Sir Allen and Lady Poe don't forget to with your "Dad" Kyle Happy Father's Day!
You do beautiful work.
Been watching your vids for a couple years now and always looking for your next one. :)

Very well said! Thanks for watching!
I'll be the third person that cares. Cause that blue car is awesome 👍 and I can't wait to see it running and driving.
Your methods do produce winning results; we can't dispute that. I hope you have fun with this one too.
Boy Kyle, pretty nice work, for just giving it a quick job!
I enjoy seeing progress on all of your vehicles. Thanks for taking the time to share them with us.
Superb fabrication and metal working , excellent tig and lead work . ❤ From the UK .
Interesting quality metal work and love the vintage trucks..
Looking forward to seeing more metal magic. Cheers ❤️👍✌️😎
May I just express my utmost respect about your work!

Count me in for not caring about the blue car. 😂 Seriously, beautiful work on the fender patch.
I'm gaining on you. I was a full week behind, but I've cut that down to 2 hours after you posted. At this rate, I will soon be watching before you produce it!
Haha thanks Philip! I'm pretty slow so it doesn't take much to catch up to me!
Thanks!
Thanks John!
Hello Po Hello Allen and you too Carter
Great work and excellent teaching!
Get them on the road woooooo! looking forward to more thanks for the vid Kyle
Thanks for adding this patch panel welding job very nice
Lots going on in the garage!!! Thanks for sharing Kyle!
Your so talented Kyle! Fun to watch
That was an amazing job and an awemazing video!

Another great video.
Nice video cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
You Brits probably understand his Canadian pretty well, eh?
Nice work Kyle! I really enjoy learning how to perform these repairs and other tasks. Your attention to detail is impressive. Cheers!
I care about the car but my love is in the truck, and it sounds like a great plan for it with the T-5, I'm running one in my 47 Ford truck and they are a great addition to any project, beautiful work as always Kyle 👏

Good job Kyle 🤠👍
Great work as usual from you Kyle!
Excellent work!!! Now I'm going to go out to my shop and do it the wrong way while helping keep Bondo in business.
Great job Kyle👌perfect made replacment panel(with just few basic tools),and excellent final result.it looks like you're coming from the really old days,when who did this job HAD to be good,and knowing the dill.👌👍
