How To Use Aftermarket Patch Panels To Fix Major Rust.1948 GMC Part 4.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- Hi Folks! Today we are going to remove and replace the complete outer cowl panel on the 1948 GMC. This installation is the same for any 1947 to 1954 Chevy or GMC truck. I'll be using an aftermarket replacement panel, which can present some fitment issues. In order to minimize any potential problems I will be refitting the door yet again prior to welding. Also, I will show how I eliminate factory lead seams so that less bodywork is required to smooth out the joint.

Looks great so far. You’re bringing Saskatchewan farmer standards to the next level.
Thanks, the Saskatchewan farmers need all the help they can get haha
Another great video shown and explained very well. To all the new subscribers, go back through the older videos. There's gold in them if you're interested in fabrication or restoration.
Thanks David!
There has been something missing from your video's of late? But when you opened the video with the removal of lead. It finally came to "light" what's been missing. It's FIRE!!!! Where's the FIRE!!! In your previous videos you were setting everything on fire, including yourself. We want fire! We want fire! Bring back the fire! Thanks for the cool video!
Sorry Phil, the pyrotechnics department has been overworked and underpaid to the point where they refuse to participate with any of my nonsense
Awe man. I stumble across this video. I have no more room in my car, truck RUclips channel addiction so I was going to watch and move on. Then you mention you’re Canadian. Now I must do my duty. Subscribe and catch up on old videos. 🇨🇦 💪
Hey thanks for making a little room for my channel! I hope you enjoy it/find some of it useful!
Don't sell yourself short Kyle, you do exceptional work. I consider you a perfectionist like Scott. Thanks for sharing.
You said it for me Bee!
Kyle does exceptional work!
@@henryszubielski8601 he knows it. Hes a satirical guy.
Thanks for the kind words!
".... just to Saskatchewan farm truck standards" .... would be well sufficient for my taste, given what You did with this door/repairpanel fitment. I wish my Matra Espace would have had that amount of attention when they bodged it together back in the nineties.
I would agree with Bee !! You're doing (at least showing us) the sheet metal portion only. Just like most of us in the craft trades who do only one facet (electrical, plumbing, framing, plastering, etc.
Being around mechanics my entire eight decade life, it gets pretty easy to identify those that are a level or two above the "norm" and that is evident both in you and Scott. It seems that most of Scott's friends would fit into that category !!! So, watching you guys is not only "entertaining", but, frequently, is quite "inspiring" !! And, that aint no shit !!
So awesome that you were picked for the lead role. We can tell that the little guys are so excited for you too!
Yes they are thrilled! Thanks!
Tom and I are unable to be at your debut! Will there be a filming of the event? We would like to see a film. Possibly a PBS coverage or something similar?
That’s cool that you understand the history of how the old stuff was built.
Thanks, the repairs go easier when you understand how they were originally put together!
You can fix the stuff that most of us just walk away from, wind damage to the door jam is a big fix! You have some real skills.
Thanks! I need to learn to start walking away!
You do very nice work, I love your dry sense of humor.
What do you mean, Kyle has a dry sense of humour? Did I miss something? Lol!
Thank you!
My favorite RUclipsrs are in Canada!!
Wow thanks!
I think the cab corner replacement production will be every bit as satisfying as the Alfredo Fetuccine rendition of "I can't believe its butter" opera. lol Thank you for the content & keep up the good work.
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
The Master knows ALL the tricks,,, and best ways to make the job better than new... thanks for the lesssons...
Thanks for watching!
This channel is a hidden gem, can totally get behind the dry sense of humour in a completely deadpan delivery 🤣
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it!
I love your channel. The metal work you do is amazing. Your ability to explain the process makes it easy to understand, not that I will ever be able to come close to your results.
Thanks, glad some of my rambling can be translated and understood haha
Great points on the panels and congrats on the lead role.
Thanks Norm!
Another exciting episode filled with excitement. I had to take a drive in my 49 just to calm down. Lovin this stuff. Can't do it so much myself anymore so I'll watch you do it. These trucks have a lot of parts to 'em so there is a lot you can do with them. Everybody and their dog wants a red 57 chevy convertible but I haven't found anyone that doesn't love and old truck. I remember we would find them in the desert abandoned and free for the taking. Now they are "collected".
I have been looking for videos on how to do body panel replacement, came out to my shop, hanging out with my 48 chevy 3100 panel truck / 2001 tahoe project,
Kicked on the you tube ,and am very impressed with your video/metal craftsman lessons.
Thank you! I hope the video helps you out with your 48!
Not only do I respect your skills, I enjoy your sense of humor as well. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks Eric! I'm glad you enjoy the show!
I can't believe it's not butter......
My sides hurt, stop it .
Great content and work. Yet again.
Sorry for making your sides hurt haha
Looks great. Thanks for all your helpful explanations.
Thanks!
Again Kyle weld done. I gasped at the gap perfection! Another great example of form, space and vision. Kelly
Haha thanks Kelly!
You would think if someone gets in an old machine like that theyd treat it like a museum piece. Close those doors very gentle. You have a lot of wisdom going on. Thanks for sharing it.
I've seen how people treat stuff in museums, so there's no winning! Thanks for watching!
@@CarterAutoRestyling no matter how many times i tell my daughter, she still slams every door. in a vehicle or in the house. I think the only fix is to remover her arms!! (she's 20)
Cheers to your success at landing a lead role in an opera-I am thoroughly impressed with this accomplishment! Seriously viewers who have yet to subscribe, where can you simultaneously watch an expert body guy, dry humor genius, and an up and coming opera star-press the subscriber button!
Haha thanks, that's very kind of you to say!
Congratulations, Kyle! Opera's awesome!
Sure is! Thanks!
Great to watch. Thanks.
This truck cab is improving so much, your work is very good. I'm a car guy myself and own a 1971 Rover P6. So your resto work is useful to me. I'm afraid though I won't be able to make the opera, living in the UK, it's a bit of a drive to Alberta for a couple of hours at the opera. Good luck though, or as they say "break a leg" 👍😉
Sorry to hear you can't make it, we hope to start touring overseas in January, I'll be sure to let you know.
Truck must be shit!
Passed along the Scott’s Super Trucks information to my son-in-law who is restoring a 1950 GMC one ton. Thanks for the tip! Really enjoying this series on the ‘48.
Awesome, glad to help!
you are very talented and too modest
Thank you!
I watch both channels love body work fabrication welding create and make it fit custom bring back classic back to the road thank you happy holidays peace
Thanks Tony!
Long time subscriber on Scott's channel and HAPPILY becoming one on yours !!! A retired construction veteran but even with that similar experience on buildings, can only imagine what it's like tearing into the rotten/decayed structure on one of these old relics !!! Your "resurrection" looks awesome so far. Can't wait to see all the follow-ups.
I used to have older relatives that never owned a car who would always SLAM the door to the point the car instantly became a inch narrower just to ensure it was "latched" !!! You would need to wear ear protection whenever you gave them a ride ;o)
For sure, CONGRAT'S on the opera role.
Thank you! I suspect building repair is a lot more complex than anything I have done with junk vehicles!
Another great job.
And, another great video!
Congratulations on being selected for the opera.
Thanks Henry!
Another outstanding presentation! You do the best job of demonstration and explanation on the Tube.
Thank you!
I just found your channel and I really enjoy watching you turn old junk. As you call it into beautiful usable parts to get the classics back on the road. I will one day try to build a old classic into a daily driver. And these videos are really helpful to watch. Thanks for taking the time to do them I really appreciate it.
Thanks, glad you found the channel! These old vehicles make great daily drivers!
Magic! So crafty and clever.
Thanks!
Sure wish you had done this project about six months ago. I replaced those inner cowl fillers, the ones I bought were absolute junk. Spent many hours remodeling them and they still don't look that good. At least they are out of sight. Thank God for seam sealer.
Seam sealer saves the day again!
This brings back memories, I did the exact repair on a 52 about25 yrs ago. I am no professional and had an absolute horrible time trying to get the hood and panels to line up. Great job 👏
Oh yeah the hoods on these trucks never lined up from new! Thanks!
Whaahoo You and congratulations on getting a leed roll !!! You'll be dangerous !!! Recently I lent a cool Harley to our local theater group for a high school production of the school of Rock.... Thee young adults were instantly in love with it and I wasn't able to make it to the show...... Anyways I realized afterwards I could have charged a dollar to everyone who'd had their Kool selfy taken with it and then retired....oh well next time..... I'm so pleased you got a part you wanted Man !!! 😉🙃😎 NZ
Grade 7? You mean grade 17! You do quality metal work, nice!
17? I can't even count that high haha
Thanks!
Thanks for showing us the process! It is turning out good!
Thank you!
Great work, I love Painting and Restoration, I learn from who ever I can, Great Job. Love the Solid Cab Corners!! Beautiful just as it is. Please no 5 windows
I am subscribed to both channels, love the old cars and trucks. congrats on your new lead part
Thanks!
I can't wait for the show. I will buy my tickets tonight. Haha.
Much appreciated!
Kyle: I think you just "revolutionized" the auto restoration industry with your "reversed lead technique"! Do you think you could do the same with rust? It would certainly make my life easier! 😆
I'm currently working on the rust remover prototype
HeyKyle, thanks for discussing the methods to approach a door gap. Maybe someday you can show use how to trim a door just for turds and giggles? I have virtually no gap on one door that I would like to improve but that sounds intimidating for a noob. You have a great channel, thanks for taking us along.
Hi Eric, the next time I run accross a situation where I have to cut the door edge I will definitely do a video.
Great fun watching nothing is serous in life except for life itself Enjoy watching and wish I lived closer, may be the only thing I could do is pet the cats and watch. I use a paint stick to check the door and fender gap on my build. works great and always have one handy.
Thanks, paint stick works great too! I'm incredibly unpleasant to be around, but I'm sure the cats would appreciate being petted
@@CarterAutoRestyling Thanks for answering, I love to rub cats.
Cats, fashion and some rust repair...not bad.
Just my luck, I find a channel that I like, and someone runs off to join the opera. Nice work on the panel replacement. John
Sorry to let you down John, but a man needs to follow his dreams!
*Really useful stuff, thanks for sharing all these tips (another CWM-er here too)*
Thank you for watching! (my channel and coldwarmotors)
can't wait for you to do a rendition of "la dolce vita" while welding this truck together, i am sure it will be worth the wait haha
" methodical " is the word that comes to mind piece by piece this truck will live again.....better than when it left the factory....looking great joe
Thanks Joe! As long as it's not a total rusted piece of junk when I'm done I'll be happy!
Excellent work Kyle
Thanks!
As usual, another great video Kyle. I totally appreciate your work an skills, even the humor lol. As well as the way you explain the what's an why's of the work your doing. Always look forward to seeing your next video. Keep up the great content. Totally love the channel. I've picked up a lot of tips an tricks from Fitzees RUclips channel. Since watching your channel, I've really picked up even more extremely useful tips an tricks for my own projects. I'd like to say... Thank You for sharing your skills with the RUclips community, especially me. I really appreciate what an how you do what you do Kyle! Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! Fitzee is a great teacher!
Great show as always. Can't wait to see more of the GMC restoration. 👍
Thanks!
Good video as always. I learned a couple things I hope you use later on. Been watching Scott lining the doors up on the Rover. Yep, he is a good panel beater! I like your comment that “if someone can tell the truck panel is not 100% GM, they are standing to close to it.” Love that! 1st time I ever heard that one! As to “unsubscribe here and subscribe to Scott’s”, NEVER unsubscribe from here! As for opera, I have to draw the line! Can’t help you there! I would rather dye breathing sanding dust or be blinded by a big flash weld forever. (I hope neither of this happen either, to be honest!)
Sorry to hear you won't be on board with this channel becoming dedicated to my opera career, but thanks for watching the automotive stuff!
It's always a nice feeling when the aftermarket parts fit half way decent. Nice explanation and demonstration of getting everything in place and not worrying about being overly particular, I like that. Keep up the great work Kyle, and look forward to your cab corner videos.
Thanks Ken! It's easy to fall into the trap of being overly critical on these old vehicles, but the reality is they were never perfect when new.
@@CarterAutoRestyling 👍
Happy Thanksgiving space cowboy. I laughed at the space Port Buck Rogers for the win
Thanks, the same to you!
Thanks for the parts place for the Chevy truck parts! I’m going to need that!
You're welcome!
“This is not a tutorial for aligning doors”…..but, this is how you do it..haha.
Looks awesome.
Seen so many RUclipsrs that “rescue” older vehicles, maybe get um running, then that’s it….they sell them to someone who may rebuild the vehicle, but we don’t see the vehicle done and back on the road shaming the cookie cutter vehicles that all look the same.
Thanks! Yeah, most of the "will it run" videos on RUclips are just done to get views/ad revenue. The vehicles are often too far gone to restore...it's a better fate then crushing them though
Great information brother 👍. You are doing a incredible job on this old truck, starting to come together big time.
Thank you! Still a long way to go!
Very nice explanations and tutor ledge going forward. It makes a lot of sense for expertise versus perfectionism which may not be applicable for the auto/truck. Thank you, Kyle, I'm looking forward to your next episode.
Thanks Richard!
It's coming along nicely, Scott will be impressed with your work when it's done 👍
Thanks! I was a little disappointed he didn't have all the rust repairs done for me when I went to pick up the truck haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling At least the engine and interior were good.
Very detailed work. Very good!
Thank you!
Nice work Kyle!
Great video Kyle Nice Job
Thanks John!
Looking good Kyle.🔧⚒🔩
The original louvers looked definitely good enough and better than the new ones!
So excited about your lead role in "I can't believe it's not butter". The aria is only comparable to 'Vesti la giubba' in Pagliacci. :-)
Haha thanks for the support John!
I'd appreciate a video on grinding / welding door edges to create perfect door gaps. I tried doing this but I'm not sure about the orientation of the mig torch with respect to the door edge. A detailed video would help a lot.
Thanks for a great video!
Thanks for watching!
Keep fixin that junk, I'll keep watchin.
No shortage of junk to fix around here!
Hi kyle Great work we have a saying here ruff enough for the bush its a repair that looks good from 10 feet away . Cheers mate🇦🇺
That's a great saying!
I was fortunate enough to learn the use of body solder (lead) back when I was in high school (mid-latter part of the 1970's)...
We also used almost exclusively acrylic lacquer paint. There were RARE occasions when an enamel paint was used, and ever more rare.... Imron.
I still use lead on some of my own repairs, but I do weld the seams solid. It's getting almost too costly to use lead any more (along with simply trying to have a good supplier), but I do enjoy using it.
Aftermarket patch panels ARE a 'hit and miss' type of deal UNLESS you have a good source (which I'm happy you discovered one in Canada which has provided you with quality panels and great customer service for many years).
I'll attempt to spread the news about your operatic lead role. I'm happy you were able to pasta the audition without too much drama.
Hopefully my 4 friends will at least be marginally interested.
Sadly, I more than likely won't be able to attend as I've been called to an audition myself to play a part in "Get Off My Lawn'.....
Hi Russ, I hope you get the part in "Get Off My Lawn"!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Thanks.... I've been an understudy for years....😁
Congrats on the part. That's awesome. 👍🏆👍
Thanks!
Nice. A star is born!🎶🤌🗣️🕺 😂🎵
Thanks for another learning experience. May have to pass on the opera!
Sorry to hear you can't make it!
Looks great thanks for the info as well .Very well done
Thanks Harry!
I always look forward to your content really interesting I hoping your channel keeps growing. Looking forward to the cab corner it looks an impossible shape 🤫
Thanks Martin, cab corner video coming soon!
I hear you on slamming doors on old cars.
I have to tell my friends as they get in my old truck “DO NOT SLAM THE DOOR”
I find that telling them just makes them slam the door harder!
Man this Guy Welds, like a Plastic Surgeon doing Stitches.
I wouldn't want to be operated on by a plastic surgeon that stitches like I weld haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling Frankencarter
My truck started out like yours, keep goin.
Will do!
I'm no expert, but to my eye your work easily meets 1948 Saskatchewan farm truck standards. I would argue that you sometimes exceed them.
Thanks, it's a tough standard to live up to!
Also, I've picked up a few of your techniques, so thanks
Very nicely done young Man. 👍
Thanks!
Спасибо большое автору канала за видео! 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Thank you!
I really enjoy your commentary during the repairs and restoration. This truck has a lot of damage but your methodical approach is effective in addressing one area at a time. I was quite surprised to hear about your pursuits for a leading role in opera. Best of luck on the upcoming event.
Thanks Greg!
Congrats on the career
Thank you!
The desire to bring those insanely rusted and trashed old trucks back to life in canada certainly is much different than here in the southeastern part of the US. Buying all of those patch panels and paying someone for the extensive amount of labor to install them(even if you could find a person willing to do it) just doesn't make good practical sense here. You can quite literally find a truck that is already in decent structural condition here in the states for far less than it would cost to pay a person(even doing work on the side) for 2 or 300 hours of labor. 4 years ago i crushed a 49 cab here in virginia that was in much much better shape than the one in the video because no one around here would even pay me 200 dollars for it(not kidding!)....all i can say is: "God Bless all of you in Canada!"
Nice job
Thank you!
I would say that was a pretty good attempt. another good video. Thanks.
Thanks Randy!
Awesome you are the man
Looking Good, and knew as soon as your Voice broke, you would get a Opera Gig.
Thanks for always believing in me!
Excellent work on the metal and congrats on the opera gig. I think you need anew ride to reflect your current status, maybe an Alphonso DiCredenza .
Thanks, I definitely need to clean up my act and get something a little more classy!
Thanks!
Thank you Jerry!
Make it Kustom was showing off 1/8" hole tig plug welds where he would drill through both layers of metal and using the hole to penetrate. It simulates a spot welder and makes the bond nice and strong (you need to use more of them like a spot welder) but I would imagine they would be much easier to remove if you needed to like a factory spot weld.
Oh yeah, that method works great! I used to use it when all I had was a tig welder. In this case I had to weld through spot welds that I had drilled out, so mig was the only choice. The best defense against having to redo stuff is to just take your time and make sure everything is right before welding.
I've got a 1950 3600 Chevy 3 window truck, gonna be getting into this soon.
Seems like everyone wants a 5 window, I understand that, but mine is going back 100% original, no one wants a 3/4 ton pick up, but I'm respecting my poor Ole truck, she's going back original
Right on! I love the 3/4 tons, so that makes two of us.
She was found in a barn in shepardsville Indiana, the summer of 1981, I bought it for $200.00!!!! Owned it every since.
Had a 235, 6 in it, cracked head, but she ran.
Not a big opera fan. Don't mind the music, it's just all the yelling.
But if I could, I would pay money to watch and hear the opera, " *_I can't believe its not butter_*.
Longtime sub to both of you and Strong's. More than once. ;)
Wish there were more like you.
Thank you, sorry to hear you can't make it to the opera debut!
Kyle, I thought you were doing the lead role in London west end production of CATS. 👍🏴
Oh that will be coming soon!
Always nice to see new videos your one of my top two channels and like all of your videos you come up with some kind of shenanigans lol dude your a trip...and are you going to keep truck for your own personal ride...
Thanks, just doing the metalwork and passing it on to a new owner
Congrats Kyle on your blossoming Opera Career. Remember all the World’s a Stage and the Fat Lady at the End gets the applause.
Thanks for the words of wisdom!
fantastic work once again
Thanks Nick!
A cultured man of many a talent, is there going to be a short video of the play?
There will be a full video at 10 million subscribers haha
