Chopping a Top - 1953 Chevy Sedan Top Chop. Full Build Start To Finish.

[@lesnewsom6000]

Kyle, your half-ass effort is 300 times better than many folks’ best effort.

[@thomasortiz4600]

Mediocre? Hace lo que le gusta eso no es mediocridad.

[@chrisconrod9560]

The flow of the roof to rear window to trunk is ten times better than the original.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks!

[@yoshisaidit7250]

@@CarterAutoRestyling Can you tell me about that bondpro filler you used? Where would I get some of that? I tried looking it up but found nothing on it.. Can it be reheated and set again? Or was that something else you were using on the car? 40/70 lead solder? I've never done this, but I want to now.

[@tomferguson4996]

EXCELLENT choices of music!!! I liked all the rest too! THANK YOU!!!

[@dennisvangemst8714]

Haha the intro was brilliant

[@lawrencehalpin6611]

Thank you Mr. Carter. Way better than TV.

[@Pedroisanickname]

Kyle, this is the video that is going to make you world famous, even more world famous than you are now so be prepared.

My thoughts also.

Nice chop, and..... its still ugly

[@danielburke4113]

You are a mad genius. Skills are unbelievable. Now make it a 2 door.

[@jonakee342]

You are a master craftsman! Very clean and looks amazing.

[@chrismead4337]

I never thought I would say this about a 4 door but, that looks AWESOME! ❤

[@billnlori3149]

The Bad Chad spoof was great!! This project looks so cool! The old school methods were neat, they just made do with what they had.

[@Grey_Beard72]

That looked pretty darn good in the end.

[@bobgershey5584]

Ha! Ha! When Kyle is having fun it makes for excellent content! 😆

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Bob!

[@mayberrymodelmadness5838]

First thing, hilarious!!! I'd also like to add that this is one of the best demonstrations that I've ever seen on hammer welding. You made me understand exactly when you put that dolly under the roof and I saw it come up and then you hammered the weld. Thanks for the lesson. Great video. It's a shame you're not actually building that but I can't wait to see it chopped up and used to build the chicken truck. Thanks for being you!!!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I'm glad to hear the hammer welding part was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@That70sChannel]

This is Kyle we're talkin' about. At some point after he gets the fenders off the Pontiac, he's going to decide that he needs to find some rusty Pontiac fenders, repair them, and put them on the Pontiac. Have you ever seen him throw anything away?

[@Danny.Spurling]

Lol Bad Chad impression is spot on

[@1942xa]

You've won this huge award for best chop of the year and you mercifully allowed the 4 door die with dignity!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks very much, I appreciate that!

[@jamesbergeron8356]

I'm totally inspired! I want to chop a car now!! That thing is totally cool. I like the way you did this one, quick, traditional and fun!

Brother you had me rolling on the floor!! Had to rewind several times..totally hilarious 😂 😃

I'm glad it made you laugh!

[@shedbythetracks]

Bravo Vile Kyle! And magnificent camera work by Trixy Tripod. That was the best cutting up, then welding it back together before cutting it all apart again that I have ever seen. Of course, you probably know that you have ruined your life... people are going to be begging you to save it now. Geez... you just don't know when to leave the bear alone do ya... I can respect that. Cheers from a shed, by the tracks, two doors down, on the left, in a secret location.

The backlash is going to be worse than the time you and Flivver got raided by the youtube copyright police!

@@CarterAutoRestyling That will be tied up in court for years.

May I propose Mr. Carter that when you have had your fill of this project that you donate it to a certain subscriber in Iowa... It would look great next to a certain Shack By The Tracks!😎

Even through my 75 yr old eyes in Perth, Western Australia, it looks the goods.. I only wish that I could have the talent, knowledge and skills that Kyle brings to us via his videos. As we say in Oz: you've done a bonza job on this, Cobber!

Nicely done Kyle.

[@johnwarren9306]

This is fun to watch you go guy.

[@65bugnut]

Well, I was glad to see that Allen, and Poe have reached a peaceful settlement with the chair. I've always liked that body style of Chevrolet/Pontiac. Ian Roussel from Full Custom Garage did a chop on a 1955 Olds, and turned the 4 door into a 2 door. Your chop turned out as good as his did.

[@TimRiley-ki3ei]

What a fun project. Very inspiring!

[@RobHunt-r8x]

As long as you know what you’re doing, (or are creating the illusion that you know, Lol), to that fine example of rolling rust….I’ll keep watching. Back years ago we used to cut cars up with a torch but we never thought about putting them back together, we were only take apart mechanics. You’re a put together mechanic too, I salute you.

[@miguelsalo48]

Love the Bad Chad bit. At least you finished what you started. Always enjoy your work... 🤙🤠👍

Excellent Kyle! I really enjoyed this video!!!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@glennp6759]

I like how your "this is not the right way" always gives a great result. The chop turned out nice and took out the mordor look. The rear glass angle greatly improves the lines so this fordor as good as a coupe. Even though it is not going to be a finished car it was a good exercise and a nice one to share.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you!

[@wyattoneable]

Kyle, My God you turned a bomber destined to be crushed and made into soup cans, into something that has the potential to make a new owner proud as can be, turning heads as they cruise the streets. Your forsight and hand skills make that chop look so easy. It would be exciting to see somebody in "Sus Cats uan" commission you to do an entire project.

I would have loved to have gone to visit with him and shared this video, I know it would have met with his approval... Thank you!
