- Today we are going to shave the door handles on the Chicken Truck, our 1953 Chevy pickup radical custom project. I'll be using a tig welder and a variety of hand tools to get the job done.

I'm sorry you have to endure hurtful and cruel comments concerning your work. People need to understand that we all can't be perfectionists like that fella out in eastern Canadia. I do have one criticism..... If you are going to flash photos of French cars and their owners on the screen, please tag a warning on the video.. My grandson was watching with me and now I have to have "the talk" with him... Cheers from the shed
Hahahahaha.. "the tallk". You and Kyle crack me up.

When you're finished with your grandson Randahl--could you "talk" to me?

I wish I was as crap at welding as you. I've been welding for 30 years and just can't get as crap. Must try harder.
Keep at it, you'll get there!
I think you would have done better with a potato peeler. Way to take a total piece of crap and turn it into a marginal piece of crap! That should work well for the chicken truck project. Try to remember that Scott knows where you live. Cheers!
Thanks for reminding me, but I feel pretty safe here. French cars are forbidden on the roads of Saskatchewan, so it's unlikely he will ever get near my house.
😂 Excellent point.
Thank you. I am learning (and I am old). I used a flapper wheel to strip an antique refrigerator and turned the cabinet into several oilcan situations. Not knowing what had happened, I purchased a shrinking disk. Did not work, now I had a bigger mess. Shrunk it even more with an acetylene torch, an even bigger mess.
Finally, I made a large slapper out of a heavy truck spring and polished it up really nice and used a piece of railroad track for a dolly. It worked out to where a thin coat of nitrocellulose glazing putty made it flat enough for the old girl I married. Curved metal is WAAAY easier than flat metal. Thankyou, again.
The engineer that designed the die for those holes is rolling over in his grave.
Sent you some $, go buy a roll of mig wire. Or toys for the cats, your choice!
Hi Brian! Thank you so much, that's very kind of you! I'm going to pick up some mig wire, and let the cats play with the packaging!
Nice work. It takes a different type of skill set to "Build" as oppose to "Restore" Looking forward to this build.
It sure does!
I believe you are as good as your present capability, If you are prepared to learn from your mistakes then you will make improvements......keep up with the fabrication and welding, on a personal level I find your skills to be excellent, you can only get better..... greetings from the UK.
Thank you!
Nice metal work as per usual.
Sarcasm was on-point also.
Keep the great videos coming.
I learned something. I'll keep watching.
You rock. Love your content. 😂
Sorry to hear about the Lambos. Losing one is bad enough, but losing two is just heartbreaking. Of course if you hadn't spent all that money on hair repair you might have been able to keep them.The chicken truck will be a very cool custom. The nice thing about shaved handles on a two door truck is you can't look at both sides at the same time. Nobody will be able to tell if they match or not. Cheers! 😎👋🛻🏁🏁
What!? Are you saying they don't match!?
No, not at all. Obviously both methods work.😉🛻🏁🏁@@scottcates
Only being able to see one side at a time has been my repair standard since the beginning!
GM unnecessary spot welds, if only they cared 1/2 as much today
YaY ! Chicken Truck ...
Finally! Some genuine bondo sculpting! Your level of integrity just went up in my eyes. Any fool can TIG weld in a patch and shape the metal back, but a real artist slathers on the filler! Seriously though, great work as usual Kyle!
I enjoy watching your content your actually a lot worse than you think you 😀 keep up the good work
Love the hammer work
Please more cats less French cars 👍
Prefect! That big crater will give you a place to put some filler!
Nice job shaving the door handle. It did look as good as the door with the bondo on it.
Thank you John!
Winter will be coming to Texas before long, is there any chance I could lease or borrow your fine plaid jacket? 60 F. is no joke.
Haha sorry you're on your own! It's supposed to snow here tomorrow
It's really 69 degrees lol@@CarterAutoRestyling
Your the man
i love see you showing us make some out of rotten metal . you great teacher. most people never tackle repair any thing and that why we have cars missing parts it so nice see labor of love.
I guess the benefit of shaving the door handle with bondo is that you have less of that tedious hammering to get rid of the dent caused by shrinkage. Sounds good to me! Nevertheless, pretty impressive how you made those welds disappear!
Sometimes I add extra hardener to the bondo so it gets really hot when it kicks over and warps the door. Then I try hammer and dollying it, but the bondo keeps cracking. What am I doing wrong?
Kyle the chicken truck door looks finger lickin' good.
Hahah thank you Kelly, hope you don't get sued by KFC for stealing their slogan!
That's the kind of work I enjoy watching you do,great job man as always.
Glad you enjoy it!
Entertaining and educational,, 🌟🙏🌟
Gauge, Inch,, is that Cuneiform or Hieroglyph language,, 🤔
Dont you have duct/gaffer tape to mend your clothes with in Canada,, 🤔
Cheers from Sweden,, 🍻😎👍👍( Shrinking disc,, goodest tool,, 😅)
We do have duct tape, but it's become too costly, so I've had to go without!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Ahh,, I understand,, 🤔😬💖
Thanks for taking the time for extra detail in the explanation ! I am very appreciative!
Glad it was helpful!
Concourse! Concourse! Pebble Beach or Bust!
I'm sorry to hear your employees quit. But, cheer up, they'll be back when they're hungry. Cats are like that.
Haha thanks for the reassurance, Eric!
Nothing "lame" at all about your video. Greatly appreciate the explanations/education !! Did a somewhat bigger but similar round patch from a "saddle tank" filler hole in a Model A running board splash apron. Had exactly the same experience you just showed. That's when I discovered that you need to grind off the majority of the weld bead prior to trying to metal work the patch and its surrounding area. Also needed to use the shrinking disc and the slapper before calling it "OK" !! Definitely not "good" !!
Yeah those splash aprons are a bugger to fix!
It's so cute, you're playing with your dolly.
you look like an expert to me, but I'm no expert
Takes one to know one I suppose!
I'm not a comment guy so I really have to like a show to do it, watch you everytime you work. Love the show. Thank you!
Thank you Jeff!
The drinkers side door looks like you ran out of jelly
@@willydavid yep. 😎
Putty is your pal 👍👍
Sure is!
I love the narration content it's pure internet gold. This station has come a really long way and all you had to do is embrace your weirdness. Really great stuff.
Haha thanks, I'm not sure anything has improved on this station, but I'm glad to hear you enjoy it!
Seconded!
You make it look easy.. Awesome work as always.
Really like the explanations in detail , you are a good teacher if you believe it or not. Thanks for another good one ....
Thanks!
Your a increasable talented man I've done dozens of door skins replacement but never to save and reuse the skin I personally would have mig welded patches as neatly as possible and then some supreme bodywork and whala best wishes you are super
Holy moly Kyle. Thanks for showing me what the inside of my door looks like. Your hammer speed never ceases to amaze me. This has to be the best explained panel repair video I have ever seen and I sit around stoned and watch a lot of videos. Can you put a funny car style escape hatch in the roof of the chicken truck so I know how to do it? I am very excited about this build. Mary is excited to meet Daisy, Joseph is passed out having his morning/afternoon nap. Thank you for your time.
No escape hatch planned, but when I do a video on chopping the top, just skip the second half of the video when I weld the roof back on and you should have a pretty convincing escape hatch
This build is going to be cooler than a witches tit in the Yukon.@@CarterAutoRestyling
Quality Content . thanks
😢 I'm telling you there's a lot of armchair quarterbacks out there that's things that can do the job and they criticize their own RUclips people said to yourself that are trying to teach methods and practices that are sound and proper the something that hides together like jobs together like DD speed shop or something that they might watch him think their experts after doing it but even Dan says don't use my videos as a tutorial because I'm not a teacher of this I just do it the way I do it because we aren't allowed to by our inspections to have any holes in her vehicle here in Canada See here in the US we can drive around with the main holes as we want in our trucks and as long as there's not pieces flying off AUS cops don't bother You're the inspectors so that's the difference between your laws and hearts but I again appreciate what you do and I learned a lot so far smoke people on trucking buddy
WoW Kyle 2 vidéo In few time . I love it . Thank you 🎉😂😂
So. You are using metric!
Shhhh! Don't tell!
I was riveted to my seat all the way through this action packed, low falutin, lame video. One of your best, except that I would like to learn how you did the body work on the first door. Now it's time to drill out these rivets so I can go get a snack. Thanks. Daisy is going to end up putting those two communist, striking cats out of work if they don't come around pretty soon.
You do a excellent description of what you're doing with a injection of humor
Glad you think so!
No worse embarrassment than your neighbors watching your Lambo being repossessed. With all that money, why would you take out a loan anyway?
It was a huge blow to my massive ego!
Well Kyle, I'm apparently in a different mindset than many because I enjoy watching spot welds being drilled and small repairs taking as long as they take. I'm to old to ever learn to do the work you do but watching your technique makes me better 😉 Thanks!
Right on! Thanks John!
Imprisonment. Repossession. Abandonment. And now metal work instead of bondo? I don't think your rehabilitation is on track. Maybe you should use that guy with the exotic French cars as an example of how to live right
My therapist says I should do the opposite of whatever that French car guy is doing
Not boring at all. In fact, a guy is just sitting here watching another popular RUclips feller and your video notification came up on the pocket computer, so a guy has to watch your video before completing the other one 😂.
Haha wow thanks, I appreciate that!
Awesome . . . i hope u continue to ruin more stuff 4 folks to enjoy watching.
That's the plan!
I will send you a new jacket and shoe laces,let me know.😁😁😁😁
With the way this vid started off with the Red Green narration, I was thinking the duct tape was coming out for sure. Maybe next time. On a more serious front, you can learn some real skills from that French car guy who moonlights as a tractor gnome. The airplane wing gusset door he made was really something.
Yes he is a true artisan!
In my 49 years of body work I have never removed a door skin with the idea of reinstalling it. Makes sense with what you are doing though.
Yeah I can't see a bodyshop ever needing to do this.
be nice to general motors, they're not used to getting insulted.
They deserve now more than ever!!!😆
Lol autobody indecency
Your body work is like me cooking asparagus in butter, just beautiful sir!
WOW - Nice job!
Thanks!
Thanks for another.
Lol nice work
Awesome video as always! How you make your repair disappear is magical! 👍🏼😊
Thanks!
You can't compromise with both bondo and metal? Weld grind hammer fill? Almost criminal! Oh and thanks, I repaired (mig welded) then grind then sanded with 50 and then 80 grit think oh what would carter do. 😮
I would delete this video immediately if I were you. You could find your self back in prison for doormestic assault. Then you would loose custody of your cats to CAS (Cat's aid society), and they would be lost in the system. Happened to a buddy of mine, He's not been the same since.
Wow that sounds terrible!
Holy Guacamole! Stop sweating it. I learned a lot today! Thanks man!
Glad to hear it!
NICE JOB IS THE 66 SOLD ?
Have a deposit on it, should be getting picked up next week
You did a great job welding that door. Especially unsheeting the door not a real fun job. But you may have a few limitations welding Kyle but they look great to me. A little Bondo and paint and who's gonna know anyway. Hey are your cats still on strike?
And I thought that disappearing parts only happened at my shop thank you 😅
I don’t care about cars, I watch you and Scott for the latest in men’s fashion. Cold War haberdashery!
If you’re after the big bucks, seek a voice acting roll in the sure to be upcoming Eeyore movie from Disney.
Working on it now!
You must have been a repeat offender 😂😂 to get time 😅
New to your channel...your humour and sarcasm is priceless..thanks for the clear explanations
Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad to hear you enjoy this type of nonsense!
some of my favourite type @@CarterAutoRestyling
Did you check how straight the door was before you shaved the handle?
I would almost lay money on the fact it wasn't as straight as you made it.
As always... nice work and good video.
Anyone who says differently should show us what they can do.
Hi Joe! I did check, but it was after I had mangled the edges by removing the skin. Sadly, we will never know for sure. Another one of lifes mysteries goes unsolved
Dang it! That's yet another of the great mysteries of life. Like why a blueberries blue and why does that Scott feller like those French cars so much.
Good to see the Lambos gone. Now you can get a couple of Mclarens. Screw that Italian trash, who needs them? Still trying to figure out how shortening the doors will raise the roof for the Chicken truck. I think you might have that backwards..
Stay tuned, it will make sense eventually!
Your musical selections are perfect. Thanks for not subjecting us to that clubby urban apocalyptic audio hellscape so common to RUclips videos.
Well, if you trying to make Citroen 2CV "look a like", you're a way off, man.🙃
Stay tuned, it will get there!
Two words: Beautiful work!
Great body metal work. Just hang around a little longer and things will get better. The Hot Rod Chanel will be picking up the tab and you can move to Florida this cold winter. Your ok Kyle have fun and we will watch.
I'm disappointed to see you not choose bondo. Repairing metal rather than bubblegum patch is definitely not time efficient. 😂
True, but with the price of bondo nowadays I'm forced to seek out alternative repair methods
@@CarterAutoRestyling😂
beautiful cat how old
We aren't sure, she was adopted 6 years ago
Mr Carter I wish I would have found you along time ago you are amazing, i watch your videos on RUclips TV so i can't comment ( dont know how to set it up,) but i really enjoy your craft and humor and you have the fastest hands ive ever seen LOL
It's looking less like a chicken every day.
It will get there eventually!
Serviço top😮😮
I was hoping for some tips on using window screen and bondo to repair a door, but I guess this helps a little too.
That will be in the next video
👍🏻🍺
I like the look into you personal struggles. At least you've been somewhat rehablitated after your stint in the slammer.
The main focus of this channel has always been my rehabilitation
@@CarterAutoRestyling You seem to be well on your way. Don't relapse now!
@@kennethstaszak9990Too late. Wait till you see what I just bought!
@@CarterAutoRestyling This ought to be interesting! But I thought you're broke? Or did you sell the truck?
Kyle, is your beef with Scott due to him stealing Joe Bondo away from you?
Yes
Look forward to this build...will be cool....
Excellent video this is one of my favorites
Thanks, I'm glad to hear that!
To be honest, it didn't even occur to me about the possible variations of angle needed for the window tracks.
Made sense once you described it... and having the skin off (albeit not a simple 5 minute job for removal) will make it a lot easier to get it set up correctly, along with swapping for the one piece side glass.
Keep up the fine work and I look forward to the next episode.
It's easy if you just pre-bend the glass.
Thanks, I'll try to keep the episodes coming!
Maximum that it expects these trucks to be anything more than workhorses I didn't know people would try to fix them up and rebuild them 40 if 5060 years later they didn't know all that back to English classic cars were not saying or fixing up car or something unless you were in high school and back then you can hunt any junkyard and find the same car you had and find better parts than what you are taking off so why I spend the time working on I'm just aggravated at my local body shops that won't do the kind of work you do because it's a tedious and takes too much time and it cost me tons of money and my own restoration cause I can't find Anyone with your kind of metal fabrication skills Here in the us that's willing to use them I Know there's people that have it there's people in my own town that could fix it but they won't Do That kind of work because they said it's too Tight and consuming not even on the door that was the entertainment because the closest one to me was at least 10 hours away on my 86 Monte Carlo and they wouldn't fix it so I wouldn't let You use it in the 81 door that had been hit in framework And bent all of us in hell and trying to beat it out the best I could because it was better than to rust it out one that had a striker But no one for these body guys would fix it and it makes me mad to know it could be fixed and they didn't but of course I'm learning as I go from watching the news struggle😅😅
that 50s panel bond is some bad stuff
How many inquiries did you get about the truck so far?
I wound up selling it through our local classified website, or at least received a deposit on it. If all goes well, the truck should be getting picked up next weekend.
yay congrats! @@CarterAutoRestyling
Me an amateur and too stupid to be scared, I have ruined lots of body panels. Problem is I can't fix my F-up like you can. I do have access to tons of Bondo. thank you stay safe ALL. O good job hope you're feeling don't get hurt too bad on this one hate to see a grown man cry.
To be honest, matey, I was surprised at you taking all that time to put metal in the holes where the door handle was when you still have that huge Bondo sponsorship to take advantage of. Likewise, the missing etal at the bottom of the door can easily be taken care of with some nice chicken wire (it IS the Chicken Truck, isn't it?) then some long strand, then some short strand and lastly the plastic filler on top to make it all smooth. How else are all of us blokes with old cars going to keep the myth that "the old doors are heavier because were made of thicker metal" going if you don't fill them up like we do?
Seriously Kyle, I really enjoy watching you work with the TIG and sort out the issues caused by heat shrinkage. Your ability to feel the metal and instinctively know what its doing, why it is doing it and how to correct it, is not something everyone has. I also like the idea of where you are going with this project and it makes total sense why you'd pull the outer skin off if you are going to be basically redesigning the inside workings of the door, as there's certainly little room to get at the cavity otherwise. Bloody good call, I reckon! Are you going to put electric windows in the beast as well?
A good watch, my friend. Thanks for putting it up there. All the best.
Thank you! I will be keeping the crank up windows in this truck.
Sorry to hear about the Lambos. Don’t worry though, I sent you one of mine. No one should be without at least one. The world is a tough place. CWM should be delivering it soon. 👍
Thanks so much, I'm looking forward to delivery day
I don't know why I keep watching this channel. One monumental screw up after another.
Decades of patina heedlessley destroyed. History erased.
Shameful
@scottcates my shares in the Bondo corporation have sunk to an all time low thanks to this guy.
If it makes you feel better I'm being sued by the Rust Preservation Society
Allen and Poe writers part of that Hollywood strike?
Would explain the horrible writing for the last couple episodes.
How the heck are you supposed to get carjacked with no door handles??
That's the point!
Did u lose your Trophy wife, too ?
Yup
Daisy May be a good cat, but she is a scab! Are Allen and Poe getting strike pay?
Yes they are
