Hi Kyle. I have been tied up for the last couple of weeks. You are doing great !Thank you for all the tips. There were three Brothers that were my child hood friends. When they were older they bought a car and while driving it it broke in half , luckily no serious injurers . The guy that sold it to them got into a lot of trouble. As always I liked and shared. Give the Cats a pat for me. All my very best.

I might need to visit a psychiatrist soon; this has become my favourite channel. Am I unhinged? Was that greater uncle of yours a founder of Herbert, SK? If I had an address I’d send you a jacket of mine. I like it a lot but it spends too much time on a hanger. It’d make you look a whole lot better than that grill looks on the chicken truck. Ha! Cute! But many may think I’m laying an egg with that opinion.

I did a pre-purchase inspection on a BMW 3 series once, and discovered seam welds underneath that should not have been there. The back third of the car had been clipped off. Tons 'O' Bondo in the "C" pillars. Told the customer not to buy it who than told the owner why there would be no deal. Owner stormed up demanding to see the "issue". He had bought the car from a sketchy local body shop and had no idea of the true condition...

I'm high enough to like just about anything but the front end seems a little overpowering to me. Keep in mind I have no fashion sense. The speed you work at is amazing. I've never seen anyone swing a big hammer that fast. You might get more done if you worked on it more than 47.18 minutes a week including wandering around the frozen tundra. Mary was worried sick until Poe showed up. Her and Joseph send their love. As far as your coat I have a similar one that is only 3 generations old. I do know it's better than welding in your skivvies and slippers. I have a 53 3100 that I'm working on and this is the most exciting this I have seen. Thank you for your time.

glad you saved the grill and bumper, but personally I think it's too bulky for the chicken truck. I also like the Buick headlight bezels. They give the truck more character in my opinion, but it's your creation so whatever you decide will look good. I've done the "where's my gloves waltz" too. The only difference is I usually end up with a mismatched pair. Great video showing those "little" necessary, time consuming repairs that actually go into these projects. I can hardly wait for the next video.

I think the grill looks good it does a little tweaking to work out better. the bumper looks heavy maybe without the bumper guards, but the ends fit nicely around the fenders, maybe you could take the center section out and extend the bottom of the grill with some kind of a roll pan as a filler.

Kyle: It looks like the original Dreamtruck had a custom tube bar grille. The Olds looks like a pretty good fit (I like a Custom with OE parts incorporated). Since it is a large opening a big car grille like a Chrysler or Cadillac would fill in the front well. Whatever you do will be cool!😎

Good save on the grille. The chrome looks to be in great shape, especially for a Canada car. It could work on the truck, but I'm not sure how the hood could be reworked to flow harmoniously with it.

I like the way you work and in my book do things properly. Getting those doors to fit nicely rather than the famous "it is what it is" statement. Fully restoring a vehicle properly from scrap yard condition is a massive amount of work, especially if your doing it around your day job. It is also quite a large skill set from mechanical work to tin bashing and welding, electrical, painting, and finally sewing and interior work. It took me 2 1/2 years to restore a car where I worked on it most evenings and weekends.
