Ahhh. One of those elites with their smoking jackets I have heard about.

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

Awesome job, it takes a real passion for thim old trucks. To want to spend that much time and effort to save it. God bless

[@guillermonieri4203]

Thank you. You are an excellent teacher.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That was some fine cobbling with that cab. Now at least you are anchoring it down so it stays as square as it can be. Thanks for the tips.

[@ericargo9157]

Kyle, even when you "fabricobble" it's a great job. Smokin' episode!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Eric!

[@xlmi7021]

Nice Lambo save...they are known for rusting, so lots of repair parts out there for 'em.

[@anthonykinrade8642]

There is always something to be gained from watching others work, great stuff!😊

[@robinimpey101]

Rust repairs and Kyle on fire! What a great episode! 👏

[@hobbyelectronics6630]

Scintillating episode ! Two thumbs up. It had pirates and fire no less. This Carter guy knows more about rust than Alec Baldwin....(ohhh that was tasteless comment...did I really write that.....what's wrong with me....)

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Hahaha tasteless comments are always welcome here!

[@DangerousSportsForSeniors]

Love the vintage smoking jacket. Thanks as always

Thanks, just trying to give the show an extra touch of class!

[@FunWithHOScaleStuff]

Amazing to see that rusty mess getting cut, removed and replaced. Thanks.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I'm glad you enjoy watching!

[@johnanchovie2b]

Apologies accepted. Dude, I really don't know what you saw in that cab. Fair dues to you on tackling a job of that magnitude. Makes for some interesting viewing.

[@IowaMercMan]

Nice job! Thanks for your hard work producing this.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottcates]

As much as I will never perform body repair at Kyle's level, I love the videos and it's nice to see someone who knows WTF they're doing with fitting, cutting, welding, planishing, stretching, shrinking, *AND* fashion. Also: Nice work with that FUBAR rear cab mount. Super rusted and busted, that one was.

[@southsideronnie]

I have to agree! Especially the fashion part!🤣

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I actually know nothing about the first six items on your list, but I'm so glad that my fashion expertise is finally being recognized!

[@carhead9397]

But we should aspire to anyway.

[@dannyplanck6498]

You said something about being committed to your craft, I will agree in as far to say anyone that takes on the sort of projects that you do needs to be committed.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Ain't that the truth!

I'd leave the speaker holes cause I like my music when I'm cruising and those holes are in the correct location for rear speakers in a pickup. As far as the floor and supports, you've done a really nice job. It don't get much more professional than what you've done. Thanks for taking me along on this journey to restore what others call junk. lol.

I enjoyed your welding, and watching the truck resume it's shape. Very educational. Thanks!

[@lancemclean9273]

Nothing much new to say here- appreciate you will fix stuff someone else can’t, or won’t, and move it on down the line. Makes a car guy’s heart feel good to see . Way better than the damn crusher - the guys who run those have to be dead inside

So happy that you worked on that Studebaker and I subscribed. I enjoy channels that are informative yet have creators that have fun and aren’t under the gun like the cable channels, “Oh God, we have three days to get this to auction! What WILL we do?!”. 😂😂

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you!

You sure do make it look easy

[@beatglauser9444]

If I watch for a few minutes I can say that those first two patch panels fit amazingly well. I had tons of patch panels that were absolute crap. yours are obviously on the better side.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Yeah the quality of patch panels for these trucks has actually improved over the years. 15 years ago on my other 66 the majority of the panels were "universal fit" garbage.

[@snowking55]

Good stuff Kyle! One piece at a time as Johnny Cash would sing, and before you know it, she's one solid piece. Looking good!!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Ken, hopefully when I'm done, the title won't weigh 60 pounds! Haha

[@scottcates]

Wow. Damn fine outro music. Searched and saved.

[@Afrodizyak47]

Gee, Kyle, I am going to have to order me one of your inbuilt centrally heated jackets, you embellish. Have to wait until next year however as the Aussie summer is on it's way, with +40 deg C weather. Can I pre-order for our next winter here? As always I admire your work and decidedly warped, sense of humour. Your channel along with Fitzy and Yorkshire Car Restorations, are always what I search for on my subscriber list. Take care and keep the home fires burning!

[@pnuts1649]

Nice work. Anyone that doesn't go insane using those patch panels should be rewarded in the afterlife. But somehow you got them all stuck together. Can't wait to see this project completed. Living in the dessert southwest US, I rarely get to see this type of perfect rust!!! lols.........you are so lucky!!!!!!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Sorry to hear you're missing out on all the rusty awesomeness! If you'd like I can scoop up all the rust and mail you a care package (shipping at your expense) haha

[@johnanchovie2b]

That opening gave me the giggles.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Glad you got a laugh out of it!

[@awakeariseandwatch5976]

Excellent video Kyle wow keep up the quality work. I am 68 now my craft was wood working and I always did my best to do quality work. I also have done some body work but definitly not at your level 😊 I just finished my 1955 second series had to replace most of the floor and cab corners and much more. Thanks again God bless

[@countswing284]

Another smokin' hot, action packed auto repair video! Good luck on this project, it's way worse than I imagined. Seeing that rear cab mount brought back some not so fond memories. Cheers! 😎👋🛻🏁🏁

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Sorry for bringing back suppressed rust memories!

[@tectalabyss]

Hi Kyle. Love the Cat's in your videos. I still miss Molly something awful. You are the Man and I want to say thank you so much for all the great tips. I know from doing the restoration on my Mustang years ago,replacement body panels can be a pain to fit. When I saw the smoke coming out of your pocket, It took me back to the old days. Many was the time I would crawl out from under a Machine , batting and rolling on the ground to put myself out. : ) As Always I liked and shared. All my very best to you and yours and of course The Cat's : )

[@tonyboloni64]

The truss I inherited from my Dad finally rusted almost thru. Thanks for sharing your techniques, now, thanks to what I've learned, and some new webbing made from seat belt webbing from a 74 Caprice Classic, it's as good as new for future generations with weak abdominal walls!

Love this build but then again my daily is a 64 C10 and I just scored a 60 Apache c30. Live in Alaska so our older trucks are in the same condition. Thanks for your knowledge and willingness to share

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Sounds like you've got a couple of great old trucks! Thanks for watching!

[@Chevypowered5766]

Your explanation of how and why you do the cutting out step by step is spot on. Many people would cut it all out blindly and then scratch their head trying to figure out how to get it back together, so a logical explanation should help clear it up for a few people if they listen. As for my opinion I think you’re doing a great job trying to show the right way it’s done keep up the good work, thanks for the videos,later

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you! I'm not sure if any of this is the right way, but it will hopefully get done!

[@Chevypowered5766]

It may not be the right way but if you can see it working for you then others will be able to see it too. If you think of the saying if you build it they will come, maybe not physically but to your way of thinking and understanding of how to do things

[@rickjackson3414]

Couldn’t have stated this better!

[@johnburch6927]

And Mom was worried that I'd cut myself with an Xacto knife on my models. Maybe Revell, Monogram or AMT should have come out with a 1/24 scale rust heap with repair patches. Assembled model that you have to take apart and install patch panels on.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I seem to recall that the Amt 1950 Chevy pickup kit comes with the cab corners molded separately for a more realistic kit building experience haha

Like and comment. The bottom door seal, patch panels seem to always be flattened. I use round rod to crush the corners of the 3 or 4 steps and radius the vise jaws to sharpen up and square up the small steps, before I tack it in.

Thanks! You're right, things are pretty bleak most of the time so humor is essential

So true about patch panels getting you close, but some refinements/adjustments are usually required.

Thanks! Good luck on the 76 chevy project!

[@allanrichards3752]

I am sure with your bodywork skills you can make the patch panels look every bit as good as a whole new floor panel. This said these people that just cut out everything and replace it don't end up with the original vehicle. Why not buy a new body shell?. Back in 1992 I restored a 65 Mustang and used Waxoyl to protect it. I flooded every box section and also drilled many drain holes to prevent water staying in the structure. Its now 30 years later and this year I have had to go over a few areas and re-do some stuff, so you are bang on with the 30 year life between "restorations"

[@keithlalonde4308]

I started repairing a pickup box for a guy the other day. The more rust i fixed the more rust i found. It finally got to the point that I told him that I was wasting his money and my time working on his box. It needs new box sides to make it right. I feel bad for the guy unfortunately all the rust was hiding under the paint surface and not visible until it was prepped for paint.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Yeah that's the way it goes sometimes
