1948 GMC Rear Glass Installation DISASTER! Don't Let This Happen To You!

[@gilbertsolis7924]

I love this kind of old trucks it always remind me of my dad. Because my dad always had these kinda trucks when I was a little boy He had a 51 Chevrolet and a 55 Chevrolet and had a 53 GMC pickup this was his last pickup he had when he past away in 1986 He also had five other pickups for parts at his back yard.

it was funny when you threw it onto the stand... Hilarious when it caught fire!

Thanks for the tips. 👍 I found out last fall that O'Reilly Auto Parts will break your windshield for you for free!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Wow what a great deal!

[@beatglauser9444]

My Dad still had an ivory tool that was used in the old days before they had this plastic "thingy" as you call it. It worked exactly the same. Luckily nowadays you do not have to kill elephants to produce those tools.

[@ihrescue]

Regarding your repair of stone bruises it is good to see a professional repair person who promotes such transparent business practices.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Hahah thanks!

Next time try taking your glasses into the spray booth. One note though, don't try this while doing clear coat. You will find much better results on darker solid colours. Enjoy.

[@martinpook5707]

A fascinating technique for glass repair, one of the best KZbin how to videos I've seen. I am almost tempted to go out a smash the windscreen of our car so that I can try it.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Give it a go! You won't regret it!

I saw this truck when Scott showed it on a Thursday "short" video. I never thought that in this short of an amount of time it would be this far along. Kudos to you! Very impressive 👏

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks! It's still a piece of junk, but at least there are less holes in it!

[@vwcoco]

Excellent work Kyle on fitting the glass tho bummer the glass broke before install

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks, I was really upset about it!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Great video, Kyle. After seeing how easy it is to install that glass, I am sure I could do just as well as you…well, maybe after practicing on 20 or so trucks! A big thanks to viewer Tom for the generous donation to your channel! As for crack repair, I see on Facebook not to waste good money on those fancy body shop crack repairs when they sell a guaranteed liquid in a syringe that hides every crack you can get on glass! No need to buy that expensive Saskatchewan extra glass coverage anymore!

[@meangreen7322]

GMC looking good with the windows in it👍these newer vehicles are so complicated to do anything too anymore. I'm glad that I own and drive older vehicles that aren't impossible to work on. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Michigan

I used to drive a forklift in a drinks bottling factory, and one day in a bit of a daydream (in my mind only)the pallet on the feed conveyor belt had moved along so i scooted the next pallet with 2000 small bottles on the fork in , then smash!.... almost 4000 bottles smashed all over the floor, someone else managed 6000 another time ! somehow!.. so the, production line stopped, 4 hour's later i,d finally swept up all the glass, so one bit of glass isn't so bad!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Hahah oh that's awesome...well not for you, but that must have been a spectacular crash!

[@Roger-hq1yt]

@@CarterAutoRestyling thentire nightshift were paid to sit in the staff area snd watch TV, so no complaints off them, anther friend worked on a different bit of the line and would jam a bottle cap in the machine and walk away 5 mins later all would stop snd techs would be hours getting it all unjammed and working again.

Great tip on the glass repair! Without getting into the science behind it how do I keep the glass from rusting before I’m ready to metal finish it?

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Soak it in used motor oil

[@johnhaines6501]

I really must say, your "just barely good enough" bodywork is pretty damn good. That is one of the straightest cabs of that model I've ever seen. It looks better than a lot of high end shops do with a ton of body filler.

[@glennnickerson8325]

Kyle: I don't know if you noticed, but, everything seems to burst into flames in your shop... Could it be that you have a higher oxygen content in the garage? 😆

[@WildWestGarage]

I think it’s probably more likely due to a lack of oxygen to the brain 😉

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Everything I love seems to burst into flames

[@KiwiStag74]

I've always wondered why manufacturers used such a flammable compound to prevent the ingress of bugs and birds into the cabin. If rain or hail got so hard that the screen cracked and caught fire, then the water would put the fire out, but if an exceedingly large bee takes a windscreen out on the move, it would become quite a task to put the flames out at any speed. The sheer inconvenience of having to put both your phone and coffee down somewhere safe before being able to attend to the flames licking around your face is something that really should have been considered long before such things were developed and in common use. Someone did tell me that it was because of the lack of a factory-fitted cabin heater and was conceived as an early form of demist / defogging / de-icing function for those in colder climates and that replacement screens were readily available back in the day, but nowadays this isn't the case and it's a shame that the authentic piece you managed to find was in such fragile condition. I'm also glad you knew of a repair process that fully restored the piece and made the cracks inconceivable, but it is sad that the original de-icing function could not also be rejuvenated by the process, as the lack thereof will devalue the piece somewhat.....but c'est la vie. The project is looking great (despite the above) and I'll definitely look forward to seeing the '36 on the build table at some point. All the very beat - and thanks for the sincere belly laugh, mate! All the more amusing because I wasn't expecting it, so I had to have a go at returning the favour!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I've heard a similar theory about the origins of flamable glass so it must be true! I can't wait to get going on the 36.

[@henryszubielski8601]

Another fantastic video Kyle! The truck is looking awesome.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Henry!

[@shedbythetracks]

Great tutorial! And remember... tutorials are how you find out everything you did wrong. You are spot on with all the absolute nonsense that is being installed in cars now. (yes, I have a modern car, but I tried to keep the ridiculousness to a minimum) I am working on a "stay in your lane" unit for the T Speedster, and to and answer your first question... YES! it will be steam powered! I have a few kinks to work out, but it should be ready by summer. Seriously though, I believe we as a species we are about 20 years from being brains in jars encased in bubble wrap.

[@alkatib5866]

Great job ...you made it look so easy

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks!

[@steveearwig]

Ooh, fancy, you made short work of that (or it was speeded up..). The locking strip tool I had looked like someone had made it out of a coat hanger, no wonder it was crap. The first window I installed was the side glass on a 66 Beetle, of course it ended up on the ground in 1,000 pieces (that took me 3 goes mind). Finally, besides the doubtful durability of fragile electronics in something that moves about a lot and gets wet, there's also something called "risk compensation", which is a theory that says the safer you feel you are the more likely you are to take risks (and visa versa), so all these "safety" gadgets in newer vehicles only means people's driving is going to get worse and worse.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Very true about the risk compensation!

"Lobster installation tool" I take it you have closed captioning turned on too. ;) I always do because it adds so much more humor to a video. Not that Kyle needs any help with that.

Installing glass for me was a matter of economics. The flat glass I did first was on my three jeep projects. Much easier when you can lay the windshield frame on the saw bucks. The scary glass was the curved windshield on my 64 F100. $174 for the glass but they wanted $375 to install. I figured I had at least two tries for the $375! Fortunately my brother and I "roped" the first one in without breaking it. I didn't seal any of the glass because of the mess and permanence of the job. Besides, after all the work I put into my projects I'm resistant to being out in bad weather. I use a slightly different technique for repairing glass chips. Shipping tape! Works every time!:)

Not to toot my own horn but I have in the past used Envirolite clear resin to put back together broken headlight lenses from vintage 650 Bonneville motorcycles with great success. Just use Seran Wrap to stop leakage on the back side. That will peel right off when the resin is cured. Even missing pieces get filled and disappear. Excess resin on the glass can be sanded and polished.

That's awesome, thanks for the idea!

Totally agree with your comments regarding the "brain dead" features they insist on incorporating into the new cars. Maybe you haven't noticed you're changing lanes because you're spending too much time focusing on the full width "touch screen" that the current manufacturers now call a "dash board" !!! It's the same "cause" of the other comment you made about how you can't depend up "professionals", or other so called "experts" any more. The AI is intended to replace human brains and it appears to be doing exactly that !! We used to know and remember our phone number, our address, our birthday, what day it is, and how to spell a few words. In High School I had four combination lockers (Hall, Gym, and two shops) that I needed to remember. (what's a "shop" ?? ). Today, take a kid's cell phone away and they can't even call their own phone !!!
