Custom Grille Idea! What Do You Think? Plus: Building a Patch Panel and Fixing HACKED Doors.

[@Scotsborn1314]

We come for the metalwork.....we stay because of you. Thank you.

[@richardmarino5658]

The new camera has definitely improved the video quality. Thank you for that. I look forward to the next video. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you.

[@appleapple3855]

The bumper and grille look great, but you are right... you'd have to go with frenched headlights. Also, I completely understand not wanting the project run away on you. Really glad you saved those bits!

[@bobhalstead1879]

The hardest part of werking alone is when u get into an argument with yourself and have to walk away because neither of u will quit arguing.stop smell the flowers and be happy together..great werk ,great show.

[@shadetreeknucklehead3675]

I like it. Grille, bezels, the whole bumper. Everything. Just me.

[@glennnickerson8438]

The Saskatchewan Hole Technique put a smile on my face and on your panel!😆

[@d.p.9005]

This dude really focus on his work that’s why he does really good work, everything he does comes out like a professional.

[@hobbyelectronics6630]

The new camera is noticeably better. The grill looked pretty good, but the bumper looked massive. I think that bumper will look even bigger once the top is chopped. I do like the Frenched headlight idea. Q jets ?..... ugh the carb from Hell.

[@dinodaniel2237]

I ve also played the Looking For My Gloves Waltz, accompanied by thee Where’s my Welding Helmet sonata. I would have used the Buick bezels. Trucks looking good Kyle.

[@gregmaggielipscomb9246]

Kyle , the phone is working great and the front trim package from the Olds is a Kool Winner!

[@erichutchins2113]

Your videos are never boring, we love them all. Still looking forward to chopping and sectioning Big Bird! See you next time.

[@tho4747]

To see Kyle laughing, and to see him looking almost happy, was incredibly terrifying. Ps. Love the work, and the show you are making. PPS. I will try to copy your style, at least when i comes to your attitude, as I have got a new project. It’s an old wreck, that has been i the woods for some 50 years. All I have to do, is to learn how to make panel parts and how to weld. It’ missing a big part of the floor and the left valance have rotted away from the rest of the car.

[@scottcates]

Honestly, I'm concerned for him...

[@briankarnowski5614]

The George Barris comment is on point, no need to apologize. Love the Olds grille, would be great on my 46 Chevy sedan. Bumper is too much, think your idea of a floating grille bar is good!

[@hotrodcharliemanous2445]

Amazing metal work as usual and never disappointed by the tongue in cheek humor

[@countswing284]

The video quality is greatly improved. I was able to see more deconstruction of the jacket than usual. Sartorial perfection is often a result of garments being passed down through generations. Nice save on the grill and bumper. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁

[@tectalabyss]

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.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Bobby! Glad to hear your friends made it out of that one ok! I've had parts fall of while driving, but a whole car breaking in half would be something else!

[@martinglmmi784]

I am always happy to find a new episode of Carters Chicken Truck. I do get a strong urge to donate a less terrible jacket,,and also grab a rag and wipe down the fronts of your cabinets.. luckily i live on the other side if the north pole so you're safe from me ;) Looking forward to more metalwork in the next episode. The sides and the bed should be fun! Keep it up !

[@mikewhitley1183]

Good afternoon I really enjoyed the music that you're playing, as usual you've come up with some very unique ideas for your rust bucket

[@normanstilwell1387]

the olds grill looks really cool

[@kenerickson8836]

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.

[@volktales7005]

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...

[@randyu.8233]

I like the bumper grill headlight treatment as shown. Something about the excessive amount of chrome on an old truck just works for me. Like a 1958 buick.😂

[@daleking8529]

Enjoying the work on the chicken truck! I just thought the jacket must be your lucky jacket!

[@galaxiex1]

Kudos for saving those parts! I also hate to see good condition stuff get scrapped and crushed. They are not making them anymore!

[@ezekielmoorejr3145]

I like the grill but I think the bumper is a little to much unless you customize it and shave it down. Looking good my friend!

[@lazyhoundracing9621]

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.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks for the time management advice! I think I might work on it for 48 or 49 minutes this week.

[@johnkranz4004]

Definitely nice work Kyle on the doors and lock

[@deaconblue949]

I do agree that fabulous bumper and grill assembly looks a little busy on that truck. I also didn't much care for the one that you took off of it either. I'm sure you will figure out something appropriate when the time comes. Cheers!

[@glennreach6930]

I am always amazed at what you are able to accomplish. That truck, in anybody elses care, would have been scrapped for parts and crushed. Keep up the good work and thank you for allowing us to follow along.

[@rayfunk5659]

Never mind the jacket, your fashion sense is impeccable.

[@johnhaines6501]

the 54 pontiac center grill bar would look cool

[@johnhere6058]

I like 'Big Blue" - A excellent adjustment tool. - Big Bird would be well advised to 'Clamp His Beak', We do relish the thought of fried foul.

[@Pedroisanickname]

What a great pick.

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

Nothing beats a day in a junkyard wrenching on old junk, cutting yourself, swearing a lot while running the risk of getting glass stuck in your backside for just the right part. I've been there a few times. Nice save of the grille. That will be the perfect thing for some project and you'll be glad you have it. This is going to be epic when it's done. Your shop attire is deplorable. You really need to start your own shop fashion line. Cheers!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I was trying to set up a shop clothing line, but the plan failed because the safety inspector claimed my jackets were a contaminated biohazard and could not be shipped!

[@gregmaggielipscomb9246]

How nice of Oldsmobile to put the park/turn signals in the bumper guards the creeps!

[@WaxMeister]

I actually like the heavy frontend treatment with the headlights, grill and bumper - looks tough!

[@timklassen421]

Sentimental value is a real thing the jacket might be priceless.

[@scottcates]

I didn't realize this was also a dance channel🤯

[@mardyfisher693]

Great definition!

[@tintoycar738]

You got the grill, gotta get the rest of the olds too.

[@farmerpete5936]

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.

[@tonylupidi5923]

Grill is great just get a less massive bumper or build a nice roll pan/valence or nerf bars....or section the existing bumper.

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Old School parts hoard.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.. Respect ur passion for the rescue of quickly disappearing historic automotive artifacts. Well done!👍

[@juniorwhelchel6337]

I love the big body Malibu we use to use them for dirt circle track race cars

[@randyblack7495]

Can wait you finish the truck, it going to look amazing creative. Keep doing what you do.

[@juniorwhelchel6337]

I agree with you about the grill an bumper I think it needs just straight rail pieces for the grill

[@stephencarter1442]

Love it, a thin front bumper and filler, I like the angle and slope of the grille, Doable my two cents from the peanut gallery.

[@Chevypowered5766]

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.

[@alcyr5655]

Personally I kind of like the Buick grille. Being a Mopar guy you would understand why I love the Desoto grill. Grew up in the Prince Albert, Debden area. So you you can understand why I get offended why when people say how can you live in a flat land with no trees. ??? It's all hills, trees, multiple lakes. And the most laid back and friendly people. Love your content, doesn't matter what brand you like. It's all revenant.

[@virtuestreams2616]

The cats may need their own truck, but not one like humans would have, rather a cat-friendly fun zone model.❤️🔧

[@glennnickerson8438]

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!😎

[@dodgebob1]

I like the circus....me likely the whole custom vibe. It is a one of a kind project

[@pauljohnson4846]

I think the Olds grill and bumper and head light bezels will look amazing if you sculpt in like seed before you have an amazing talent and I love the work keep it up.

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

coming along fine I enjoy thse builds

[@stuartstephens]

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 think I prefer your original plan for the truck, save the grille for a future project. In the meantime it''ll look good hanging on the wall in your living room. 🙂

[@davidreames7032]

Almost forgot, great buying that grill and bumper. Cool parts great shape

[@miguelsalo48]

Yes I remember that Big Bird episode it was very educational...🤙🤠👍

[@timbrady6473]

Honestly,it’s the things that you do in a non conventional way with non conventional tools that’s most intriguing.

[@micseph6186]

As a former cab driver / mechanic in the 70s that yellow / blue paint scheme very common on Checker Cabs.

[@rodmacisaac5963]

Thanks Kyle! The jacket is priceless 👍

[@allanrichards3752]

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.

[@gordonborsboom7460]

I love how you edited in the driving sequence to tone down the excitement level. The new phone camera will make you into a first class internet cinematografur. Would the Olds hood work with grill on the truck. Looks similar from the front shot

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

It probably could work, but I think it would be faster to modify the front of the Chevy hood. If my plan works I will still be able to use the stock Chevy hinges which will save a ton of time

[@Roger-hq1yt]

Cute Cats, nice old truck too!

[@larryconley9438]

Looks to buckle and heavy, great videos and great job

[@riverflyswatter]

Rotate the Buick bezels 180 degrees . Now that’s the look!

[@edwardmartin3069]

I really like that you continue to emphasize the importance of the No. 1 rule of any project like this: "NOTHING is easy"!!! I also approve of the jacket...I have a similar one in green, but I have attempted to sew up the rips and tears on several occasions...

[@BillWhite-j6q]

My family gets me coats, I don't wear them the one I like is at least 30yrs old it's my choice. I have been making panels with tools that I made years ago no special tools at my shop. Been at body work for 65yrs. Keep up doing great work. And love your channel .

[@dreamlinerkoa6438]

And your jacket gives the rats a place to stay warm after you evict them from their truck 😂 😊

[@MikeyMack303]

Definite improvement in picture and sound quality with the new camera! I don't think the grille and bumper are a good look for the truck. It was nice to see BIG BIRD making a cameo appearance!

[@AlanG58]

Another excellent video! Herbert would be proud both of the jacket and your work. Great save on the Olds grille and bumper! When you mentioned a floating grille bar do you mean like the style used on the 53 Olds? This bumper may be a bit too thick? But you would know best! You should consider a Carter Auto Restyling line of work jackets that look just like yours!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Alan! Yeah I was thinking something similar to the 53 olds grill

[@badgergarage]

Keep the grill, maybe change the bumper to a slimmer one like from the '40s. Looks good, man!

[@DangerousSportsForSeniors]

Always entertaining, and maybe even educational. Thanks for sharing

[@kevinumhey5939]

Nice grill and bumper , good save !

[@greggonzalez7396]

I like the grill, bumper and headlight combo.and i think it would fit the design of your truck. With that said I kind of like your jacket. I think a needle and thread would allow you to take it to the next level.

[@gregmaggielipscomb9246]

Great find , pls keep at it.

[@672egalaxie6]

@14:44 ish...."If you think the videos are hard to watch, you should try being here in person....unbearable." LOLOL!!! I almost spit out my scotch...

[@scottcates]

Rarely does Kyle not give us good advice.

[@robertshemory3541]

Video quality is much improved. Also like the different grill on the truck. You make me laugh. 😂❤. Cheers

[@LarryDeSilva64]

I like the custom grille idea Kyle. It gives that old truck a hungry look. It's barely above freezing here during the day and 12 degrees F, at night and we usuakky have a foot to 2 ft of snow by now in Northern Nevada. I have never seen a cat playing inside a tire.

[@Richardskull]

I like the front end treatment, minus the bumperettes?

[@synkraut9633]

Personally I think that putting that grill (and/or bumper) on a fully customized car would make it look like you are cutting corners. I do like the buick headlight bezels though

[@johnpowell5433]

Thanks!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you John!!!

[@brianhayes7618]

I think the grill and bumper look good on that truck

[@jeeper2371]

Nice grill! Have you ever considered starting a new fashion brand /label, of garage-wear coats, boots etc?

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

I thought we were watching old junk getting saved. Who knew there would be fashion critics paying attention? Interesting how you patched in and adjusted the door.

[@joeyleclaire]

I’d like to see some dagmars or split 55 Pontiac bumpers on there

[@mikerobey5953]

I agree that it a little early to decide on the front. I like the grill and bezels but maybe not together. Bezels and make a clean lined painted grill. The bumper may work with those. All together it does look a little much. Wait and decide later. Film quality is good. Sound is good. Work and humor perfect.

[@FunWithHOScaleStuff]

Personally I'm really taken with the whole aged yet rustic backwoodsy flavor that the jacket achieves for your video. 😊

[@kevinw1797]

Again I am really enjoying watching this! Keep up the good work.

[@mardyfisher693]

Great save!

[@formdog9861]

that grille is awesome soon as i saw it i was like yes that thing is cool

[@ThomasJain-w3o]

I like your jacket, I used to have one just like it. Most comfortable jacket I ever had

[@oacumulador]

I think it was beautiful with the bumper and grill

[@micseph6186]

Interesting look and possibilities.

[@russell154]

Very nice Kyle. I agree with you about the grille and bumper, they are super cool but might make the front a little busy. I enjoy watching you make your vision a reality.

[@65cj55]

The Jacket reminds me of Mr. Snuffleupagus....

[@phooesnax]

Does not look too bad actually. Maybe grill and bumper not Buick headlights

[@robertarthurs328]

Your latch countersink is exactly what I had in mind but a impact socket rather than a nut . Same difference.

[@beatglauser9444]

I never loved those basset droopy eyes Buick headlights.

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey Kyle, I'm not sure everyone watching understands that all the patching is actually quite satisfying. Unfortunately when I tell people I have over 40 hrs rebuilding my 64 f100 tailgate, I get that blank state. Most are courteous enough not to say what they're thinking. "What kind of idiot are you"? Hey, we all have fun in our own way!😅

[@vernonabernethy3970]

You are an artist my friend. I am very happy to be here to see your creativity in process. Keep building and let the piece tell you what it wants to wear. And by the way, fine cold weather jacket you’re wearing. I’ve got one like it. 😊.

[@JimsIfitaintbrokefixit]

Video quality looks Great. Camera / Phone upgrade was good move. Not that your old video was bad. Do you just use the mic on the phone? Great audio also.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Yeah I just use the phone mic and crank up the volume during editing for the far away shots
