How To Restore Dents in Steel Trim. 1953 Chevy Kustom Chicken Truck Project

[@fritzmuller8246]

I like this guy . I never met a Canadian I didn't like .

[@cennsa140driver]

"put that piece aside somewhere where you can't find it later" A shop truism if there ever was one!

[@jimlong527]

Excellent, you take pride in your work. Thanks for the video.

[@dustcommander100]

This is the first time you demonstrated repair on an item I had previously attempted. Man, I wish I had seen your video before I tried the repair! One day, I think a museum will approach you about working for them, and they will be very lucky if they get you! I believe there is NOTHING you cannot do!

[@coldwarmotors]

Another beautiful repair buddy! Thanks of course for the kind words, but nothing I have ever fixed looked any better than the piece you just did. Cheers from me and Frankers... Always looking forward to the next installment of the Chicken Truck saga!

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

The buffing set up is brilliance

[@jody1skinobe314]

Far too modest mate - that’s quality work that you do. Every time 💯

[@Icebuntrucker]

Wow your attention to detail is of the charts Kyle . Keep it up fella ,

[@terje6810]

You are master a Kyle...Great video and work, again and again!!

[@jeffreylehn8803]

You are a master metal worker.

[@deanleonard7857]

Wow. That came out great. I wish I had 10% of your talent and 1% of your patience. But boy do you have one hell of a paint job to pull off to match the trim.

[@BillWhite-j6q]

Kyle it is good to see you are doing real body work instead of throwing away and replacing parts. or worse yet using tons of body filler. I started in bodywork in 1958 we saved everything. Keep up the good work and teaching others.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks, will do!

[@brianyoung5648]

You are quite the craftsman. Great skill.

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Keep rambling on. Your ramblings are more intelligent than most of the news media and politicians!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Even the guy standing in the middle of the street yelling at the sun has more intelligent rambling than the politicians and media these days.

[@stomper2582]

His rambling is the reason that I won’t miss an episode. Also it helps me to increase the volume of my vocabulary. 😮

[@stomper2582]

You made quick work of that. 😮

[@NoName-yr1jv]

Well done 👍

[@johnnyk4551]

Less is more - exactly. I do some stainless repair and polishing, enjoyed your video. Nice job!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks!

[@snoopu2601]

Thanks for sharing the tip on using the same gaege when Tig welding stainless. Save me many mistakes until I would have caught on what to do!

[@micseph6186]

Looks like a goodly number of likes. Cold War Motors is good at stainless repair. Good instructional video.

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

The quality you call not perfect is far better than 99% of us could do!!! Looks Great Kyle !

[@stevelodge6506]

Not good at stainless? Dude you are one hell of a talented guy...better than most I would say..love your work 👍

[@charleskinney6022]

you make my day your a true craftsman

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

You and COLD WAR are the best I've seen in repairing trim strips. Atta Boys.

[@stomper2582]

Them chickens are gonna be proud to ride around in that truck when it’s done.

[@drivewayshop]

Great tutorial. Basically the way I did the trim on my GT6. It's wasn't as bad, I'm just glad to see I came to the same conclusion on how to remove the dents. Thanks, and keep up the infotainment 😊

[@jaimemunoz9415]

Hey man THANK YOU for your content it’s very inspiring and you give it to us straight and direct with no hoopla just short and simple, new subscriber for sure…

[@kellyjones841]

Was just doing this same job, round metal, broom stick, gentle taps. Aluminum trim even more delicate. Like your techniques!

[@ratrodsafrica]

First time watching one of your videos and like your style, brother! Subscribed. Thanks.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@JustinPaul1st]

Reckon the recovery on the stainless trim is impeccable and a good learning lesson...

[@verdellgutierrez3522]

Came out beautiful

[@deebee3901]

Bloody good mate! Looks 100% to me. Respect from Australia!

[@lazyhoundracing9621]

Cool beans man. This is just the video I needed. Thanks. On my 53 3100 I have the OEM stainless window trim that needs some TLC. This is couch work. Perfect for when I'm couch locked. Thank you for your time.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I agree, stainless repair and sanding is perfect couch work!

[@oliverw3646]

Very impressive, Kyle.

[@stevegleixner3982]

I was confused at first on why you cut out the flatten part of the trim instead of fixing it. But now that I see the final product on the chopped cab of your truck, it makes sense and looks awesome! Great work!!

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Thanks Kyle, I got another Blessed day.

[@jimstern4244]

Awesome video that really showed a high level of craftsmanship 👍

[@scottcates]

Rucka-Rucka, Chickin' Trucka😻😻 Thanks, Kyle!

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

Something really satisfying about seeing a bit of stainless trim brought back to life. It's a self contained component that is 'finished' even while a whole project is still in progress. Seeing Scott on CWM do his Fury trim inspired me to have a go at tapping the dents out of a chrome motorbike hub cover that I damaged years ago (I pulled away with a chain and padlock through the front wheel and have hoarded the dented part). It kind-of works on chrome sheet to an extent, providing there's no flaking of the chrome. Mine is no way perfect, but now at least I have something usable and not a total mis-shaped mess and feel justified in having kept it for so long.

[@davidbrown-55]

Boom, take that kids! Excellent work

[@glennnickerson8438]

Good job Kyle! I find that fixing stainless is one of the most satisfying parts of a restoration. It amazes me that as you float out the imperfections with a file it doesn't cut thru the trim. Making something look new after decades of abuse is fun! Now if I could do something about my decades of abuse!😆

[@geoffreymills9932]

That looks amazing and it's closer to perfect than 99% of what's on the road now, great job Kyle

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks!

[@terrybaimbridge]

i learn something every time i watch you thank you

[@stewcrane3441]

PLeasant Saturday Afternoon watching. In spite of your concerns at the start, you did a masterful job. Remembering a few points.

[@marshallcrank]

Looks great. I did all the trim on my 55 Chevy lots of work but now it's perfect so well worth it.

[@DavidCarruth]

Watching your channel I see so much growth in you as an Automotive Professional. Now you’re working on Stainless Steel, and that’s appropriate, as I can see you only working on the shiny stuff from here forward. Forget the rust, there are many Pierce Arrow Owners dying to meet you!

[@southsideronnie]

That trim work is really cool! Thanks for sharing Kyle!!

[@dcwebb1]

Metal Maestro at work yet again.

[@nicksnarski5973]

Very nice work I can't wait to see what that project truck looks like when it's done.

[@tommcmillan6428]

The "carefully store in a place where you can't find it" is exactly what I did with my exhaust manifold!

[@65cj55]

Don't worry, it will be in the last place you look.

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

@@65cj55 ....just after you buy a replacement for it.

[@gilbertlopez8285]

Why does that sound so familiar? Dang Nabit I know. I seem to say it way too often.🤔😅😂🤣😭

[@allanrichards3752]

That bit of trim is now 10 times better than anything that came out of the factory back in the day. There aren't may people who could do it better than you.

[@36oldsaussiecoupe]

Nice job on that trim, I really like the way you get a quality job with out the flash tools, showing us all you don’t need to spend a lot. You just need skill patience and watching your tips 👍👍

[@daxtonbrown]

This will help incredibly on my 57 Bel Air. It was rear ended long ago. I repaired the fin, but they ran over the trim. I took out the major nicks, but this will let me get it right and save $300.

[@stephenkrzanowski]

Masterful job sir. Looks mint! 👍🏼

[@formdog9861]

your skills know no bounds really learn a lot watching this channel thank you

[@Ecosse57]

dang i'm impressed! i know i'm seeing your work on a screen but i think the finished piece deserves a pat on the back.

[@deweybell3529]

Nice work

[@Pohleece222]

Exceptional work.

[@lawrencehalpin6611]

Thank you for the effort you put into teaching us. You are an inspiration to anyone repairing a classic. Kind regards

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thank you!

[@bannister556]

Great advice. Working on a project every single day, no matter what, keeps them moving . . .

[@alethacriss9308]

Nice project on fixing the trim. Always nice to see the kitties. Lady Poe is looking pretty nappy!

[@daleking8529]

Thank you for another excellent video!

[@Chevypowered5766]

Kyle that split window molding looks fantastic. It was a mess before now it looks brand new. And a great tip for the welding process. Another amazing video keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see what is next. Later

[@errolpoxleitner9586]

You are doing beautiful job on all of this crate.

[@ProjectLawnDart]

“I got this end welded on. It’s not perfect…” My brother in Christ, I literally can’t even see the seam.

[@riaannel2766]

All I can say is wow. Good job buddy. And ja, its perfect.

[@campbelljohn]

great job

[@andy1056]

That one pice of trim just set the standard for the finish on the rest of this truck 😮

Nice job, good advice too. Thanks again.

[@chrispiazza7487]

KYLE! Best "this is not a tutorial" tutorial ever captured digitally.

[@ifirefight1]

Nicely done Sir. I had over 100 hours of doing this on my 1971 F100 long bed. For any of you that have never attempted to do something like this…. Consider yourself lucky. I did auto body for 20 years, but this is a challenge both in terms of work and patience.

[@roadmasterk6019]

Very impressive, this upload… both the work and the ending pontification. Thanks for sharing!

[@JazzStrat781]

That windshield piece sure looks awesome 👍 you do an amazing job Kyle regardless of your current buffer 😊

[@johnwesner3935]

Thanks Kyle, I always learn something new every time. Sticking to the project is very important. Sometimes I catch myself hesitating starting stuff I'm not real proficient at. I've learned to push through. Somehow it all works out!😊Thanks

[@dannypeter6565]

Great tip on the filler rod. Try tacking a couple of pieces together to make them longer. With stainless I would say just keep moving. Yes Scott is an amazing talent. Cheers

[@garyf2245]

nice work

[@bmurphy8946]

Thanks for showing how this done and for showing your tools with descriptions at the end in particular the round rod on the bar. I initially thought you bought those. The finished trim looks awesome. I have a lot of trim to do at some point on my 69 Fairlane so I really appreciate your video!

[@erichutchins2113]

Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge. See you next time.

That was worth watchin ... you never cease to amaze ... cool video Kyle ... 👍

[@ronmurphy9819]

You’ve definitely impressed me. I’ve got a 47 1 ton, basically the same truck and I’m looking forward to going through the same stuff. It’s pretty beat-up. Lots of fun. Thank you for sharing! Take care and God bless.

You are a rock star. Beautiful work. Thank you.

[@kimnorrgren9468]

very impressing!!!

I do the aluminum trim too. quite rewarding. Like you say dont pound on it. usually push on it. I do hubcaps with a small rubber hammer. and keep the chrome.

[@perezm714]
