    Carter I’m an American and your work is amazing! I have artistic talent and I can draw and write and play music. I also worked in the multi craft department at one of the largest companies in the world for over 30 years and I have seen many craftsmen working on different projects but your creativity and talent is incredible! I hope you can continue your career as long as you can !!!Because I hope someday to buy one of your creations here in the USA! Thank you for your videos! 😅

    Hope the owner doesn't decide to chop the top after all of that beautiful, time consuming metal work! Watching you reminds me of the metal crafters that taught me over 50 years ago. Wish we had tig welders then! Doing the roof fill with oxy/acetylene would have been a nightmare! You are a true craftsman!

    An old body man once told me "spend your time straightening the metal and you won't have to spend your time sanding the filler. The straighter the metal, the better and faster it'll finish up." Don't worry about spending the time straightening the metal out. It'll last longer than the putty will.

    Kyle - amazing work. Incredible that you basically just eyeballed a completey different car from a different era and knew at a glance it would be such a great "transplant". Your mention of low crown reminds me people like me with 60s and 70s cars would love you to share your knowledge of working with those long, flat, wide hoods, decks, quarters, etc.

    Really interesting! Using the time lapse function really exposes the movement of the metal after you weld it. From about 13:35 to about 14:20 in the video you really see how the metal shrinks back down while it cools. Very cool to see! Good work man! I’m learning while watching. Eh! 🤘🏼👍🏼

    That Chevelle roof turned out great on there! I have the same english wheel that you do, it was very frustrating to use with how spongy and inconsistent it was. I added a backbone on mine out of roll bar tubing left over from another project and polished the upper and lower anvils. It made a huge difference. Very consistent and a lot easier to make panels with it. You may want to consider something similar if it gives you too much trouble.

    In the time lapse on the welding segments starting around the 14 minute mark, you can actually see the metal rise and then shrink as it cooled immediately after the weld! Something to point out to viewers in the future. I’ve never seen that before in any videos anywhere. The camera angle must have been just right.

    Cool trick with the tabs! That would have been a pretty difficult clamping operation. I notice that you are more careful with a large fairly flat panel, which is more challenging to get right. It also seems to me (though evidently not to car makers) that such a large fairly flat panel should have some sort of underlying reinforcement with curved metal, square tube, or something. Final product looks nice!
