Like a lot of things it takes skill to get to where you are, it takes patience to learn and realize that you can't learn by just watching. Craftsmanship is being lost because everyone wants a CNC solution to a problem that would have to been easily fixed by a craftsman. Sadly few craftsman are being trained today, this has been going on for years. There are some things that can be fixed better by a machine, many can't be, at least not without spending a fortune. Love watching craftsmen, you people north of the USA seem to be more interested in craftsmanship, I am subbed to Strong's Garage, D&D, Halfassed Customs, and the one that drug a Missouri boy's attention north of the border, ColdwarMotors. I have decided the cold winters with snow measured by meters and any temperature less than -25C is considered warm has something to do with it. Keep it up, I am too old to do anything but watch but watching you can count me in.
I can see it, and can't wait to see the after picture. I never knew it was even possible to do the kind of repairs that you make look easy. What you have is a gift that you have prefected with time I'm sure.
Where did you learn to do that? This is old world type of workmanship! This is how I was taught long before you were born! LOL To say the least, I am impressed. In addition, you gave an excellent description of why this was required and how it was done. This is stuff that is not taught in trade schools anymore. All they know how to do is torch things then stuff them with plastic! Either that or cut it way completely and weld in a totally new panel. This was well done video and a joy to see a younger person who was taught, or learned, the correct way to do repairs!
@@CarterAutoRestyling You are very skilled. I need to get some old doors and a couple hammers and start learning. (I am sure I will be horrible, but the experience would be worth it just playing around with dents)
Thank you, Thank you for posting these videos. I am amazed by the transformation of the metal. You are a wonderful teacher. Please don’t listen to the naysayers.
Hey Kyle! Another great demo! One more important thing about fixing roof and hood dents like that is that they won't hold water and rust out the panel... I have a 41 Plymouth that could have been saved if the roof hadn't been left caved in and full of water for so long... Cheers buddy! (PS: Jim's A is pretty sweet, hey? I'll have to go have a look this week...)
Yeah I've run into a few like that as well. The worst part is it usually only takes a couple strategically placed kicks to remove the worst of it so it's at least not holding water, but it's already several decades too late for most of them.
Sorry I took so long to comment on how much this helpful tip depressed me. Tomorrow I start welding up the non-existent floors of a 59 Apache. Keep up the good work Joe in Montreal
I dunno about anyone else, but I enjoyed the video. I think people really liked sitting on the roof of these old trucks because my 55 has dents just like that. Thanks for the great tips!
Always fun to watch your videos again. Fast forward a year and your appearance is slightly changed and Allen has what looks like the same mouse a little worse for the wear and I'm still baking. The beauty of short term memory loss is everything is new. It's all about perspectives.
Thanks Kyle. New panels or 1/2" of filler are the only techniques that collision shops and the 'bodymen' I've ever seen in person use. I've tried over the years to self learn and do my own body work because I care more about my vehicles than that. I am by no means great at it, but I know I can do better than they do where they beat everything concave with a pickaxe finish, then shovel on the bondo like they're laying bricks. Vids like this give me hope that I can learn and improve as I go.
Haha the cave and pave method is a tried and true technique for doing bodywork, but it can often be faster to get the metal back into shape rather than sculpting it out if plastic.
Kyle your work is Excellent, Thanks for sharing this. You can't find talent everywhere, as I see the Craftsmanship in come out of every thing you touch!!
Great instructional video Kyle. With your clear explanation of the use of the dolly and slap hammer, I was able to easily envision what was going on in the metal. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you for showing some interesting techniques. I'm amazed at how quickly great skill and knowledge can make that repair. I will admit while watching this I kept thinking about the odds of a tiny glass fragment still being in the windshield where you were sitting. That would be my luck. Cheers!
The title really confused me! Left me wondering how you repair oil canning when we all know oil comes in plastic bottles. Any way ya made the repair look easy because ya got skills!! Great explanation and video!
Love the clean shaven face. Handsome. Enjoyed the better voice inflection. Really adds to your comments. Thank you for showing how to fix this issue. Great job
Kyle: It's guys like you that make me look like a hack (which: a) I am and b) It's pretty easy)! Another incredible metal tutorial! I've been rewatching the 32 Chevy coupe rehab and I wish I had a tenth of your talent!
I was just thinking about needing examples of what your dolly hand was doing and presto you read my mind. Real time demonstration and repetition are how I learn. Thank you.
I rewatched this repair as I have tried to start welding my roof on my Mercury. It is a front piece over the front seat and two pieces over the rear. As I came one side tacking it and then hambering I noticed the oil canning and also some bulging higher on the rear sections. I am going to try this technique next week and see if i can fix it. Thanks for all the great tips
you just need a nice thick layer of hot sauce bondo on top now. Years ago a mate and myself scored a rare old Mercedes out of a wreckers yard. There was another car on top which had dinged the roof badly. Once the other car was off and the car was in the shop, My mate took one look and within an hour or so had removed most signs of the damage by doing as Kyle did .Didn't even have to put paint on it.
Excellent video. It helps me as I've been driving myself mad working on a Rolls-Royce roof for several months. A previous owner shrunk some areas then sandblasted most of it. A real horror show.
Thanks for posting Kyle another great tutorial .I really appreciate the way you explain why and how you do things and as usual the results are outstanding. I wish I could afford for you to work on my cars .will just keep praying for the lottery win.
Nice job Kyle. I'm glad you did another video of fixing the tin can issue. I'm having some issues with my door skins, and this video will hopefully help me to get it fixed. I'll probably need to do some shrinking, but I'll get up a video soon to show my progress. The roof of the 36 will need some of this type of body work, so thanks again.
I like watching your videos, I was wondering if you would be able to group them a bit more into playlists on each car, so when I’m watching hard work from the comfort of my armchair I can enjoy the progress on each car without getting frustrated and choking on my popcorn because I can’t find the next section on a particular project. Thanks 😁
Another great example of body working skills. I really do enjoy seeing that truck getting straightened out. This might not be up your alley, but how would you go about removing a windshield on an older car where the rubber has turned to coal? What kind of tool would you use? Ireally don't want to break the glass.
I just use an olfa knife and cut around the outside of the seal, then you can push the windshield out from the inside. Have to sacrifice the seal to save the glass.
metal and some people have a memory ... if you hit metal over and over again in the right places, it will remember where it started life ,,, no commit as to people - can't remember ⚒ nice work
Yeah, strongs new car is just amazing.... You definitely bang to the beat of a different drummer. In a great way... Nice work on the cab top... That truck will be a nice truck to drive around in later.... Great work... Oh BTW, if you like laughing watch c90 adventures. Thats a honda 90 on a trip from alaska to argentina...lots of laughs..
Confused !! When does the oil can come into play and what brand of oil can do you use ?? Another learning video, great job even though my oil cans are plastic. Lol
As always, nice, cared for work... Looking at the rust on this roof, I was wondering if you were a fan of the chemical remover (such as Evaporust, for exemple...)? I do not remember seeing one of your vids about that...
Don't have any videos on that. Tried evaporust and wasn't too impressed. Products like naval jelly seem to work well at getting rust out of all the pits.
Kyle, another super helpful video! Ive stumbled across a lot of great help lately from Canada . You, Fitzee and Dirty Dans have been enormously helpful on my 1950 Chevy 3100. One question, when bumping with the dolly are you doing it in the center of the dent or bumping around the edge as well?
masterful job. thanks for showing your technique. being from united states myself; it seems like canada has a leg up on us down here. keep up the good work. (you are from canada, aren't you?) it also seems like you have more freedom in canada than we here in the united states. i envy that. thank you very much.imho,edwinstarr22
@@CarterAutoRestyling you made that look so easy and in real time. Reminds me of a thing my dad told me “you’re not paying me for the half hour it took me to do this, you’re paying for the 20 years of experience that enables me to do this in only half an hour”
Are the cats, house cats ie stay in all the time or are they outside a lot of the time?. I have two rescue cats one stays indoors mostly and the other stays outside mostly and I also have three rescue dogs. 👍🏴
Carter, I apologize if you have covered this before but, did you receive any formal training on your metal work or are you se.f taught? Either way, your skills are amazing. Chip Foose could use a man like you 👍
Can you show how you remove dents when there is limited access from behind. I am building a ‘29 model a coupe with a dented skin on the trunk lid with the inner skin blocking most of the access.
I have a model A decklid I will be repairing eventually on the channel. The best way is to split the outer skin off so you have full access to the backside. It's that or use a Unispotter and make a mess of it.
You make it look easier than it actually is. But your ability to explain what your doing is above and beyond most other channels. Two thumbs up
Thanks very much!

Saw the A on their channel.
I’m sure the 41 can still be saved - basically anything can- just costs more , especially ‘cause time is money
Yeah I've run into a few like that as well. The worst part is it usually only takes a couple strategically placed kicks to remove the worst of it so it's at least not holding water, but it's already several decades too late for most of them.

I cringe every time I see someone standing or sitting on a car roof or hood!
oh that was an excellent Video. initially I thought 'oil canning' meant topping up my engine oil with a vintage oil can! 😄
Doing the "wrong" thing here is could reap a lot of extra work and frustration. Thanks for the excellent explanation !
Yeah I don't recommend using a pickaxe or sledge hammer to knock out dents haha. Thanks for watching
Dang , you got some talent
Thank you!

Quality repair! sounds like you know what your doing! sometimes pressure overnight with a porto power will jog the metals memory! hahaha
I just make things up as I go. I prefer to just weld the porta power in place, that way the owner can adjust the dent to suit their fancy.

Can you show how you remove dents when there is limited access from behind. I am building a ‘29 model a coupe with a dented skin on the trunk lid with the inner skin blocking most of the access.
I have a model A decklid I will be repairing eventually on the channel. The best way is to split the outer skin off so you have full access to the backside. It's that or use a Unispotter and make a mess of it.
Follow the crease with the spoon as you push up! Right? 👍👍👍😁💥
That's right!
One day you'll use that bondo!
