Fabricating a Truck Bed 🐔 Radical Kustom 1953 Chevy Chicken Truck

Today we are hammering out dents and doing lots of welding. The goal is to turn a 1953 Pontiac sedan rear door and 1/4 panel into a truck box for our 1953 Chevy Radical Kustom Chicken Truck

"Build Yur Own Dang Chicken Truck!" Well put Mr. Carter...

[@phatdaddy1955]

Perfect!!

[@RBR307]

The "Destroying a Classic Car Because of Rude Comments" episode is in my opinion an award winning episode...that is so well done, Concept, Editing, Destruction, Reconstruction, and Execution all top notch and a fabulous video. One of the best I've ever seen. Kyle is an absolute throwback master craftsman who hasn't even begun to peak in his skills. Just imagine what he could do with a bigger budget. LIMITLESS TALENT! KEEP KICKING ASS KYLE!

[@normanroberts6680]

Your spot on in your assessment. This guy is as quirky as he is talented.

[@allanrichards3752]

I am always wary of people baiting the internet because for some people all this is frighteningly real and important. Some idiot(s) could want to do him real harm. To me the fact that a car that is beyond economic repair is going to be used to create a unique custom build - what is a better end for this car?

[@andy1056]

This is EXACTLY how I would have done this work, if I had the tools….and the energy…and the skill

Kyle there is a method that some You Tuber's to the east of you use a lot to make dents go away - It's called "Cave and Pave", this method uses copious amounts of bondo.

[@kurthujanen7730]

You do amazing metal work !

[@1fknhpycmpr355]

Good work with the quarterpanel! I think back in the days guys who built custom cars, would not pay attention for the dents like those, just whack those dents up and let the lead do the finishing job. So, some ppl have whined why did you cut up the rotten 4 door classic car, the next step will be that the HC custom car guys start to whine that your work is too good for the period correct custom car :D

[@vikingfather1]

Nice body work

[@briquetaverne]

3)- I think Kyle deserves good ratings and the way to send his channel to more viewersis to leave more comments

I gotta say, that's some impressive dissection! And then reconstruction! I liked the music, too. The work reminded me of a Pink Floyd song where the singer said "You raise the blade, you make the change, you rearrange me till I'm sane".

[@allanrichards3752]

This is turning into an amazing build. I like your method of finishing as much of the bodywork as you can whilst building. I have seen other people quickly welding everything together and then ending up with something that looks like Frankenstein's bride that needs weeks if not months of bodywork to get to paint.

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Cutting up a decrepit two door wouldn't have been a problem. Finding one would have been. The Truck™ is comming along nicely.

[@died4us590]

Nice reconstruction Kyle, the chicken truck will live on, the surgery is going well on this 70 year old marriage. The one thing about working on a 50's vehicle or two, is all the sand and dirt that fall's all over you when working underneath it doing any hammering, grinding or wrenching. I just had the wonderful experience earlier today taking the old master cylinder out the bottom of my 54 m38a1 jeep. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the damn thing under the vehicle between the exhaust pipe and the frame rail. I removed the skid plate from under the transmission so i can put a new mount in, and the dirt in my eye's was to much, and i had safety goggles on, but that crap gets in anyway. The 70 year old nuts and bolts are a pain, but the rusty cotter pins really don't like to come out without breaking, and make it that much more fun. When i saw all the dirt pouring out when you were separating the quarter panel from the wheel well, i was glad you weren't laying under it. Thanks for the fixing, and the entertainment, needed this lol. G-d bless.

When you switch to high-speed and play classical music, you bring on a very Baumgartner Restoration vibe. Or maybe he learned it from you.
