[@thebobhollyband]

I would rather watch this any day over the garbage that's on tv.

[@T3glider]

Hey wait a minute … don’t shift any of the responsibility for this train wreck to us. We’re only here because, as the cliché says, we can’t look away!

[@bobbyarcher]

Kyle is in the acceptance phase of failure. We are all still in disbelief but anger is coming.

[@phatdaddy1955]

Hahaha!

[@erichutchins2113]

If the forklift restoration doesn't put your channel on the map, more of that truck cab square dancing will definitely do it! Thanks as always.

[@lancegates9159]

I love the witticism and dripping sarcasm, it’s amusingly refreshing compared with the out right lies we put up with from our fearless leaders and other people who like to blow smoke up our posteriors . Keep up the great work !! Hats off to your evil genius, cheers 🎉

[@cedley1969]

I like the classical music soundtrack, not underestimating your audience.

[@glennnickerson8438]

Sarcasm and classical music--it's a winning combination!

[@brettm754]

The only channel where I let the ads play as a courtesy to a fellow SK resident.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@t16205]

Lol! I havent seen an ad in 10+ years. Have you not heard about adblock??

[@johnclauser7392]

The only KZbin channel where I learn about welding and they play classical music. Please don't change a thing. Also keep showing the cats. We love the cats and keep dancing around the shop too. I liked your dancing

[@edwardkosol8891]

One good thing about two feet of snow is you can just pitch large car parts out in the yard and the neighbors don't know till spring.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Haha. My thoughts exactly!

[@volvoproblems3567]

I like how the snow outside makes it look like this was filmed in the dead of winter. For the uninitiated, welcome to two days of snow in a Saskatchewan March.

[@robm1392]

Kyle admirably makes up for "not knowing what he's doing" with a huge amount of skill, dedication and hard work.

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

Speaking of coldwarmotors, Myles has a 60 Pontiac with a good running six that he talks about replacing with a v8. Just a thought. I used to watch those shows with all the forced drama and tool tossing and fake deadlines. Thankfully you and Scott fixed all that

[@rogerpence]

I have my heart and soul invested in this project. I will jump off the roof if you stop now!

[@countswing284]

Forklift collab and stovebolt tear down gonna be epic! Custom chicken truck legend just keeps growing. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁🐔🐓🥚

[@ezekielmoorejr3145]

I found it oddly satisfying watching you cut up that frame, when I was a youngster I got run over by a 53 Chevy truck in Michigan where I grew up and had to go through years of rehab. In a small way it was pay back time!

[@nicolasstanley1392]

I’ve certainly been surprised a time or two walking back into the garage after late night thrashing. Usually there’s a pile of beer cans too

[@joewolf4483]

Made fast work of that ... now that's a real chopped truck ... another great video Kyle ...

[@BruceBusby]

I too use classical music when concealing my colorful language! Well done

[@gymshoe8862]

You have a way of making the custom car game look so glamorous! Make those lazy kitties lend a hand!

[@jerrywesterfield5636]

Wish I could see the kitties watch Kyle spinning the cab around in circles.

[@larrymarkee8277]

It’s a miracle, the Chicken Truck project will proceed.

[@David_Walker16-3-51]

I was working on a long, smart arse comment but when it comes down to it, I love what you do and I love the music you choose to accompany it. You appreciate those who make space in their day to day routines to watch your output, for me (and probably lots of others) day to day routines are what I use to fill in the spaces between your brilliant postings. Thank you.

[@user-qq4sk8ec2b]

I love the video of you working on the old girl

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

I would like to see engine teardown and analysis and I think your Cats need to know about the bad choices you've made.

[@adubbelde1]

My dad told me that my uncle maintained the 37. When I pulled the shackles apart the pins were about 70% gone. They'd never seen grease as had the door checks.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Yeah I think most folks forgot to grease them!

[@southsideronnie]

All set for the next phase! Well done Kyle!!

[@robertshemory3541]

Looking forward to seeing more truck fun.😎✌️👍 cheers

[@Mikefngarage]

snow climates are dryer. A lot of people think it is damp. but it is dry. That is why it feels so much colder. the air is so thin it goes right though your clothes. My wifes family from Toronto calls it damp cold. I am like NOPE......I was in the Midwest it was 36 degrees Fahrenheit and snowing.....that was damp. All I needed was a sweatshirt didnt even feel cold to me.

[@kenclark8845]

I enjoy watching a dismantling ! I once disassembled two Willy's trucks and one Jeep wagon to make one Willys truck. Much "fun". Two trips with car trailer to get rid of scrap. People like to criticize when you scrap those old frames and such. Sometimes those old junkers need scraped !! I can't believe that old engine turned ! If that block is savable that will do someone some good .

[@ct71rr20]

You have so much room now for activities, you can do aerobics and step class. It's making my head spin! Awesome job! I do miss the delicate, hypnotic sounds of the harpsichord though.

[@shedbythetracks]

I watched this episode at my sons house on a home theater screen... he also has an official sized popcorn machine... I've watched all your shows, and I must say.... this time...the popcorn was excellent. I'm also looking forward to the fork-lift restoration. I'm assuming you will be chopping the top and applying stick-on chrome to the bumpers. As always, I want to compliment Trixy Tripod for her awesome camera work on your channel. Your loyal viewer in a shed....

[@glennnickerson8438]

Watching on a big screen allows one to see the "nuances" of fine metal work and spontaneous combustion!😆

[@shedbythetracks]

😆😆@@glennnickerson8438

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the popcorn. Great news; Canadian Tire just announced they will be sponsoring the forklift build, so I won't even have to pay for all the stick on chrome this time!

[@shedbythetracks]

Awesome!@@CarterAutoRestyling

[@JustinBlackfaceTrudeau]

@@shedbythetracks haha , I used to hang around Bad Chad before I realized what he’s really like , you have see him putting a tube of hardener in a gallon of mud and shaking it up on his paint shaker 🤣🤣🤣 quality metalwork!

[@xlmi7021]

Yes...breathtaking content!

[@JimsIfitaintbrokefixit]

It's hard to believe drugs were not involved in this project......

[@lupegomez567]

I started but never finished a lot projects including restorations when the meth was Breaking Bad bad ass blue quality no seriously it’s was some good shit 😳

[@rickster4455]

You could always hang oily rags on those brackets so when you're welding they'll catch on fire to remind you not to bang your shins on them. You're welcome.

[@johnburch6927]

It may not be a regular occurrence but man you get in a groove and come out the next day astounded. Like the shoemakers elves.

[@adubbelde1]

I live in a dry climate as well. My 37 has a been in bare metal for the firewall and floorboards for a couple of years and no flash rust

[@bluesman6955]

I enjoyed watching you use the Chevy wrench (aka BFH) to remove the rear springs. My dad always said "Don't force it, use a bigger hammer!"

[@TrimeshSZ]

"If the use of force does not yield the desired result, more force should be applied".

[@alethacriss9308]

We will look up fork lift guy. As always it's lovely to see Lady Poe and her Suitor Allan.

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey Kyle, I'm a mechanic by trade who through some flaw in my decision making paradigm, decided to attempt body repair on old junk!😢 Thanks to you and Fitzee I've been able to make some progress!😊 Because I somewhat know what I'm doing I always start on the chassis and drive line. Once I have a chassis that can move under it's own power I start on the body work. Thanks for the help!😊

[@troy9616]

It takes courage to just initiate the effort. I enjoy the work you do.

[@christianheidt5733]

Thanks to you Kyle! Keep up the great work, fixing things, educating & entertaining us, much appreciated!!!

[@mcm9329]

I think they drove the truck in a bath filled with yellow paint..I laughed when I saw it around the gearbox.

[@andrewreece3861]

The Bad Chad at the end…. Priceless

[@bowens2773]

fantastic.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

OMG! All that mirth and merryment! Dancing with a truck cab! Now a forklift collab! I have to sit down, my heart is fluttering. Too much excitement!

[@billstewart5421]

You’re doing GREAT!!!! It’s coming out beautiful!!!!

[@Smitoons]

I blame society.

[@Mikefngarage]

that frame was purely SWISS CHEEZE

[@xman6717]

450....." don't blame me, blame society." 🤣🤣🤣 my new daily motto to live by. 👍😊

[@jimhickey2276]

I always recommend disassembly for all my projects. It makes disposal easier and can be done in small amounts weekly in my regular trash can, thereby avoiding dealing with the hassles of listing them for sale and all that goes with that. For fellas like myself who can't seem to stop dragging every pile of crap I find home, my wife finds it an effective way to handle the overflow. You putting yours back together in better shape than what you started with is another approach I hadn't considered.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Haha I like the way you think

[@chrispiazza7487]

Excellent! Thanks Kyle and Scott!

[@farmerpete5936]

You had me going with the first couple minutes of the video. In my head I was screaming "NNNNOOOOO". Then you calmed me down with your just kidding. As usual, another great video. Can't wait to see more on the chicken truck. Going to be nice seeing you do the forklift resto. Watch Cold War Motors too. Have a great week.

[@dannypeter6565]

DAMN MUNG!! Having dropped my tools a million times I have tried staring at them with hopes that they may levitate back up into the cab. No luck yet. Cheers

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

Lots of fun , looking good !

[@jeroensmit2520]

Forklift roadtrip, hell yeaĥ Great idea to cover the mad, desperate and angry swearing episodes with the ode to joy You really go to great depths to please the guys at bondo for that sponsorship, what dedication!

[@leadbullets4life]

you gave it the ole college try..some guy's wouldn't get as far as you did..you gained valuable on hands training and a learning as you go along so this was educational and entertaining to boot!! for all watching,enjoy your weekend.

[@warchildcustomcreations]

I originally came for the metal working content but I stayed for the sarcasm.

[@paulmcnair8106]

Down here in sunny South Carolina.... EVERYTHING flash rusts! You are absolutely correct in that they never go back together as easily as they come apart lol. God bless.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I learned two very important things watching this episode. 1) Kyle knows slightly more than he lets on about metal work 2) Fiber does not help you poop.

[@pjsratrods8936]

I cut up my 1989 Ram50 (Mighty Max) for a similar reason. The scale master at the scrap yard asked when he saw it come in on the trailer all torch cut into sections "What Happened to your Truck" Since I am a large original Gone in 60 Seconds fan I promptly replied. "You know those parking lot attendants." That truck died to give another one life. So all was right in the end.

[@user-qq4sk8ec2b]

Great job looks great 👍 lots of work

[@rationalguy2744]

Today, my one man drum line was getting in the groove and the panel had become, magically, the right shape. I thought of your show and burst out laughing, much to my neighbor's surprise and my own recognition of how inappropriate I was being.

[@narrowgaugegreg]

That was some serious restyling there...

[@gregboppel2511]

❤❤❤....Luvv...the commentary...& the. Butchery...😆😆

[@bobbyarcher]

You should have Scott put another rusty old truck on the forklift if he's coming anyway. No need to dead head all the to your house.

[@errolpoxleitner9586]

Good job Kyle.

[@johnfederkeil9211]

Good video Kyle!

[@zajacmotorsports5910]

This channel is going to be so Forked. Can't wait!

[@robertstewart7744]

great show.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks!

[@williamdalbey4867]

Great progress!

[@phooesnax]

Nice work

[@Odawg3709]

You don’t need click bait for your loyal viewers! I knew you were joking. Keep on keeping on!

[@drivewayshop]

I think instead of raising the roof you should dig a secret underground garage .. Oh wait, that's Furze... Carry on! Should be an epic project

[@bobhalstead1879]

You should do kitty calanders with your cars

[@rogerhadley2763]

come kyle don't give up you got it

[@davidlester6092]

Safety last! 🦾🦾🦾

[@albarrett1566]

I’m so happy that this truck is coming together

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Hi Dean! Thanks for following along on this project. I'll keep picking away at it and hopefully, I can make some good progress this year.

[@greggclaussen]

I can't believe how much snow you still have up there, wow! The cats are pretty cool too! I also took your advice on the Hobart and think it will be an awesome addition to the Tom-foolery around here. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@adubbelde1]

I have a 37 Chev PU and it has a rust free frame. The only rust, other than surface rust on bar metal. The cab had 2 spots of rust where the floor meets the back of the cab. It wasn't rusted through yet, but on it's way.

[@gregorypoole5648]

Aha, Kyle, there's more than one way to scrape a truck! Whatever the outcome is on your current Kustom project, I know you will persevere...this truck is going to turn out amazing.

[@jimmckinley6549]

Thanks!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you Jim!!!

[@joeg7755]

I really hope that 6 cyl is a good core. I love diesels and V8's but also love these under appreciated 6 cyl gas engines. They run so smooth, develop very decent torque and actually get great fuel mileage! Would be nice to see installed back in this build in all its glory.

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for another , Brother !

[@johnkranyics281]

Great job Kyle, I👍👍🇨🇦

[@micseph6186]

Whee ! Merry-go-round

[@Chevypowered5766]

Great video Kyle, you have to build it up so far then tear it apart to start rebuilding it again. That sounds like so much fun probably more fun than watching the snow melt. It will definitely be worth all the effort and hard work when the truck is finished. Later

[@gregorykolanek6820]

The taper on each end made it easier to remove the shackle plates, thusly aiding to service trans / clutch !

[@miguelsalo48]

Now that was fun...😮 🤙🤠👍

[@jn1ty]

I'd say you got a wee bit of snow outside your door. What no snowman?

[@Icebuntrucker]

Kyle get Brent to clean that motor for you with his space age cleaner, 🤔

[@lancemclean9273]

I didn’t know you could mung scrape without harpsichord

[@4eyefoxbodyfanclub625]

Very good Kyle🤠👍

[@richardmead9225]

My 1962 Willys Pickup had that style leaf spring hanger, with zerks.

[@charliebryson1285]

If you are wanting to lower the rear of truck remove the back spring mounts from the front springs on the junk frame and install them on the back, you will need to drill one hole, it will drop the truck about 2 1/2 inches at no cost.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Great idea! I will save the front spring mounts for that!

[@erikjakobsson4622]

36:17 regarding safety. If you know why that what you are doing is dangerous, it is not as dangerus any more. Or, if you know why the rules are in place, you are allowed to break them! Safety 3:rd! Great work as usual! Very inspiring!

[@kevinerhart8461]

Keep going it looks like lots of fun

[@lazyhoundracing9621]

Clearly the extensions off the back of the cab are for a walk board. They must have just dipped the entire truck in a vat of yellow paint. Maybe it was an anti-theft procedure. I was planning on picking up my cab with a rack and a cherry picker and rolling the frame out from underneath it but your method looks much more fun. Thank you for the tip. We here at Lazy Hound Racing can't wait for more yellow things being restored and clearly the kids excited are too. When you get a taller garage maybe a lift is in your future? We wish you and yours the best and thank you for your time.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Who needs a lift when I'll have access to a perfectly good forklift!

[@robames1293]

That old engine--- a really efficient paper weight for your desk, or a talking point boat anchor or an unusual coffee table

[@lancemclean9273]

Change the fluid in the spark plugs and it should run fine

[@russdavis1960]

The truck is coming along nicely!!! It will be interesting to see IF the car frame will be close to working.

[@doctorhugocat]

Thanks for the video! Yes I'd like to see a teardown of the old motor if possible.

[@vernonland5987]

The irrational behavior is improving. The return of the sun to the northern hemisphere should help as well. Don't skip leg day when at the gym.

[@kevind5508]

You must be more North in saskatchewan. I'm in the south east and we have very little snow lol
