Professional Bodyshop Says it Can't be Fixed! Can We Repair This Rusty Classic Truck Door? Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2023
- In this video I will be attempting to rebuild a severely damaged 1947-1954 Chevy truck door. Not only does it have major collision damage, but it also has extensive rust. We will begin by fabricating a new inner door bottom to stabilize the patient. Then we will peel the skin off and tackle the massive dent, which proves to be a challenge thanks to a pesky oil can situation. Can this hopeless mess be saved, or will it get carted off to the scrapper?

Are you nuts $50.00 is a bargain. Bet you will spend 20 hours
😂 It was the price of the smokes...
You do realize, he was joking. I like his type of humor.
@@tectalabyss I can't believe Bondo pulled their sponsorship. They didn't understand his style of humor. I find it hilarious!
Oh, my mistake.
I didn't know this was the "Go buy a fender" channel.
You might be in the wrong place.
He's overlooking using foam in a can for dent repair. Fixing the metal is so much work when you can use foam in a can, your moms electric turkey knife, a cheese grater and a coat of bondo.
Public Service Announcement- That's sarcasm which is lost on some of you guys.
You massaged the dents and rimples out of a very old skin fabulously. It is pure magic. Forget that the modern youth can learn that.
Kyle you never cease to amaze with your patience and perseverance when it comes to fixing what seems to be unfixable.
Thank you Brian!
That door was Destin for the scrap pile.. 99% of people wouldn’t have the foresight to see the door could be repaired including myself… the more I watch carter , I’m learning anything is possible with proper tools and skill set .. and a million swings of a hammer !!! Skills and dedication 🤘🏼
Anything can be done....impossible jobs take longer!
*Destined, not destin.
@@jumpinjojo well,thank you sir !
@@jumpinjojo I like Destin....beautiful beach there!
Thank you Jeremy!
Love watching your videos! Your ideas are paralleled with mine. I'm old now and bedridden now, so my shop is permanently closed, but I always look forward to watching you work! Well done! Keep up the great work and wonderful humor! Thank you young man
Hi Thomas! Thanks for watching!
Great to see the 'Young folk' continuing the tradition, I am also approaching my 'use by' date (69 year old) but still get out int the garage to 'tinker' about, if Gene Winfield can still pick up a hammer at the young age of 95 I figure I can try.........
I think the turnips riding on that truck with you jumped off when they saw you with that door. As Red Green would say, "Any tool can be the right tool." Whatever does the job. My grandpa made tools to suit him as did many farmers years ago. You work with what you have. Thanks for the video. Cheers!
Haha thanks Heather! Whenever I'm stuck on a problem I just think "what would Red Green do?" And the solution presents itself
Added bonus. Don't normally watch ads but one of the ads on this issue was Alex Debogorski from IRT peddling truck mudflaps. Really great to see him again.
Thanks for watching the ads!
I once had a cat who loved to visit me in the garage and watch the sparks as I mig welded since i was just tac welding at the time I didn't need to worry about blinding her She also loved loud hammering noises and would come running any time I was working on a car in my garage. Great Cat and I am mainly a dog guy!
All I can say is wow! You do amazing work.
Thanks Pat!
I watch you carry out an impossible task, then you tweak it up by a factor of ten! Is there anything you can’t do? Much respect.
Thanks David! I can't read, spend money wisely, or do backflips.
@@CarterAutoRestyling Or sew, LOL
Thanks for the videos Kyle
Keep 'em coming !
Thanks for watching, Darren!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Cheers!
Always look forward to watching both you and Scott working metal back into shape
The parrot pliers are a great idea. First time I've ever seen an entire door skin removed for repair and reinstall, super cool to know it's even possible.
Too bad you are so far away, I'd have you do one door while I do the other on my 62 C10 project...$50 and a pack of smokes.
Oh man I can't believe I'm missing out on that deal! Haha
Wow, really enjoyed that. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I find that if a cat stares at a wall or ceiling for a long time it's usually because they're watching something I can't see, be it either some tiny insect, a spider or an invisible soul-stealing daemon. You took the entire door skin off without it going pear-shaped, that's pretty amazing. The home-made tools are very cool. Looking forward to parts 2 onwards...
Thanks Steve! The whole soul stealing demon thing explains a lot!
I half expected you to step on it at first…
Thank you for showing this. Have a project that I’ve barely started and this is coming at some point.
Thanks for teaching me a side hustle 😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Any time!
Every time I watch the channel I learn something new! Great 👍job!
Glad to hear it!
iIm amazed at the amount of work you have to put in treating these panels.
Great video
Regards to big bird
Big Bird says thanks!
I’m 6’4” so adding to door is really great.
@CarterAutoRestyling.
Wow. I am so excited to hear that from you…..scam boy. Go get a real job.
I'm commenting at the beginning ,to say ; I'll be impressed to see that door fixed ,to your standards .
You always make it look easy ... always learn something everytime ... where do I send my spare door to? like I said before ... any one can restore a car ... it takes a real man to cut one up ... keep the videos commin ...
Thanks Joe! In this case it would be more challenging to restore this door than cut it up, so I'm actually taking the easy way out
@@CarterAutoRestyling I get that ... I was refering to what sounds like a custom project you got comming up ... thats getting me excited ...
LOOKING FOWARD TO SEEING THE REST
The stripping music the bumps and grinds made for another great video. But really the door restoration was very informative thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm sure a lot of viewers like myself a door your great skill and sense of humor!
Thanks Kelly!
Kyle the metal miracle worker! See you next week
Thank you for the great episode sir. I especially appreciate your home make tools. Press on regardless.
Thank you!
Amazing how you eliminated the “oil canning “ without heat ! Following!! JR😊
Thank you!
You never cease to impress me! Love your vids!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Hats off my friend 🎩dazzle um with Detail .... baffle um with brilliance ...and entertain um with an ol' vaudeville shtick .... razzamatazz
I need to order a pair of those look-away goggles.
9 out of 10 optometrists don't recommend them!
You’re an incredible craftsman. Thanks for passing on your experience and knowledge.
Thank you!
Grew up in Auto Body's but found it boring, became a mechanical instead, been watching ColdWarMotors for awhile, taught me I can do it too, and watching you too, Scott recommended your Channel. I'm glad that old Chevy found a home or GMC, Same thing.
Thanks David!
Your amazing boss.
We have to do what we can with what we got. Don't let negative comments drag you down. You are awesome at what you do. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks!
Your answer for the haters, that commenting what you should do and not to do, is just genius i love it! 😂
Haha glad you enjoy it!
IMHO, this is actually a very significant type of repair, several junk yards in the area used to hang on to the old pre-war cars, maybe for sentimental reasons? But they all looked like this, pretty good until you see the bottom 4” or so was completely gone. Who knew this could be repaired!
I definitely didn't and I'm still not sure! Haha. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for the lesson 💯
You are blessed with a lot of talent, Kyle. I like your homebuilt tools. Now to find the rest of the project's videos. THANKS. I have learned from watching you work.
Thank you!
Masterful Kyle! I suspect the cat staring at the wall was getting his/her latest instructions from overlords in another dimension.
Thanks, that explains a lot haha
I really love how you take a throw away piece of metal and show how to bring it back to life.
Thanks! I need to find an easier hobby haha
New project, next level work and humor. You're knocking it out of the park!
Thanks Kenny!
Hope you come back soon with the door bottom repair. I'm planning to do something similar.
Mike in Germany
Kyle’s version of the dream truck will be well worth the wait.
I hope so!
I’d really dig seeing your approach to doing a chop top!
Chasing dents w/the patience of a frichen saint!
Thanks, I'm looking forward to working on it!
When you said Bondo there at the beginning, I nearly fainted..!! Lol
Sorry about that. Haha
appreciate your sense of humor, thx
This is the first video of yours I've seen. It seems you know what you're doing. Great sense of humor.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant loved The Chicken Truck trolling!
Haha thanks Roger!
Thank you, I'm really enjoying, and learning, watching your videos!
Great to hear!
you are the first youtuber i have seen to hold a grinder left hand... at least once
nice grinding jacket
Haha thanks!
The right tool is the one that gets the job done!
Very true!
+I think you got it going on Kyle. I'm impressed to say the least !
nice job .
Hey there Carter just happened to come across this seen your videos while back as far as I'm concerned you're one of the best metal fabricators !!
Thank you!
Brilliant work once again, but off camera. Really! That could be full of bog/bondo and a quick coat of silver paint how would we know. More please Kyle and I do mean all of more. Maybe a few tig settings too. I know all welders are different, boy ain't that the truth and that's why it's good to see that as well. Especially for those just starting out with tig. Can't wait till the rest of this build . Chop it chop it chop it
Love your work, appreciate the understated comedy.
Thanks Jason!
I love the idea of the "Chicken Truck" raised roof! Do it! It looks really cool and different.
Haha I'll get right on it!
Hello, we enjoy watching you work,
I have learned a lot of valuable lessons from your videos.
We would enjoy a custom cab/ etc.
Restyle away, please.
Thanks Dennis!
Hey my name's Tim love to see the younger generation putting the effort Ford word to get it done and make it work doesn't matter how you get there as long as the end result is good I've done it many ways in my life that's how you learn
You're very talented and inspiring.
You are one heck of a negotiator, man💫
Haha thanks!
50 bucks and a pack of smokes!! That’s highway robbery. 😂😂😂
Greed has no boundaries.
That's what I said!
@@CarterAutoRestyling You know what the crazy thing is? The day will come when $50 and a pack of smokes will seem like a bargain. I blame Obama.
Ultimately though, it's society's fault.
What a hoser, that guy!
Self deprecation is a sign of a healthy mind You have many skills that you seem to want us to ignore and I find them very valuable in this day of replacement clones who want a new part for the most minimal damage. I find real bodywork exactly what you practice. The only thing missing is lard and lead paddles! Good job!
Thank you!
Enjoy watching your skills Maybe going forward for every cab you chop you should extend another All things balanced yin yang and all that stuff
i think i would have paid $50 and a pack of smokes. you make it look effortless.
Two thumbs up for the Chicken Truck!!!
Nice work!!!
Friggin’ amazing what you can do to a rusty piece of metal. I sure wish I lived close to you so I could just sit, watch and learn. I’d feed the cats and clean the litter box. Your good at what you do.
Thanks Mike!
i read a book on bodywork it was the 1936 american institute of technology text book everything was bumping dinging heat shrinking with gas welding gear and the standard hammers and dollies ,i was amazed with the skills they had and all my life i never forgot those in depth teachings .mr carter auto restyling has brought the historical metal finishing into the 21st century domain exactly as the old timers did before bondo and rivet patches . the process in the 1936 manual always started with a jig for holding the doors guards etc for repair mabey consider building a jig mr carter for your future projects
Another awesome job.
Thank you!
Heck ya exited to see you make a custom truck !
The cats were probably thinking "If I ignore him maybe he'll go away!" That shop is nuts wanting so much for such a simple repair. It's a shame so many people are out to get you. You must have one of those faces that makes people think you're an easy mark.
Yeah it happens to me everywhere I go!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Kyle if you want to say things like that you better give me $20 bucks.
That's great. I can't wait to see part deux.
Great work👏👏👏👏👏
First timer. You can’t fool an old fool. The location and type of damage to your Town Coat tells me you are a master.
Haha best comment I've read this week!
Great job! And don’t pay attention to haters that hate on you!
Amazing skill and tenacity...and insanity! Love it
Impressive work man. Only one thing I would tell you. Try working the metal from points of least tension to point of highest tension last. By doing that you relieve a lot of that stress in those high tension areas before you get there and reduce risk of oil canning. Super nice work though. I like how you use use the spoon with pressure on the underside. Smart. Your methods left it nicer than what I’ve seen from a lot of experienced body guys. Keep it up metal man!
Not sure how long you have been posting videos, but I can't believe your not at least at 100 subscribers by now. Great work....
Thanks Don!
You're lucky you have a concrete floor to work on. Some folks have to get by with dirt.
Yeah, I'll admit I'm a bit of a show off with my fancy concrete floor!
Incredible work, Kyle. $50 well not spent. Thanks for discouraging smoking amongst the bodywork trade. I've had a few oil can chasing chapters in my past. Not easy when you haven't a clue. Keep up the good work, Buddy, I'll watch it. Mart.
Thanks Mart! I try to encourage people in the bodywork trade to just breathe all the fumes instead of resorting to darts.
Wow looks great ! The more I watch you the more I respect you. Love your Cat's. I have watched them do that. Seems they can see things we cannot. Liked and shared. All my very best.
Thanks, that's much appreciated! Cats are a lot smarter and observant than most humans (including myself)
Love the homemade tools. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I'm Enthralled... Keep Going!!!
Most people would not to take the time to fix something like that. But part of repairing as opposed replace with a new aftermarket part is the fact that the history of the vehicle is being preserved. Even if the part was interchanged with a different vehicle the history and people involved in the manufacturing and assembly is being preserved and that is pretty cool.
Well said! Thanks for watching!
Remarkable work Kyle!
That you continue to do what most people wouldn't and make it interesting, is why I keep coming back. Would love to see the look on the guys face that said it couldn't be done.
Thanks Henry!
Nice door action! I can relate on that weird cat behavior. Our cat stayed indoor and stared sofas backrest instead of coming out to snowstorm with me to install front bumper to project-Mustang??
Wow it's hard to believe your cat would pass up an opportunity like that!
Very ingenious using rust as guide coat. Seriously you have a gift for turning a pigs ear into a silk purse. Impressive for sure.
Thanks David!
Lots of stuff for me to learn! Wish I would have had your videos 12 years ago when I started fixing old rusty junk! The doors on my 64 f100 where in pretty good shape except at the mirror location. The mirror fits through a small slot and fastens the door near the hinge pocket. The bolt on aftermarket ( several ) mirrors had been bent, pulled, and twisted distorting and tearing the metal. I couldn't figure out a way to get behind it with a dolly so I cut the skin out, straightened it and filled the holes. Then I welded it back in place and had the little slot exactly where it should be. We won't talk about the first side but the passenger side turned out great! Something about too much heat:( very little filler and they both look pretty good for a dummy hack!:) Thanks for the humor and skills!
Thanks John! Fixing mirror damage is always tricky!
Thanks for answering my mental question on why didn't you cut the lower part of the door off at the window area and work on the lower panel then weld all back together after the body work was hammered out. Sometimes, it's best to wait and see. I like the way you work on projects. The body guy offering the repair cost.....well that's his belly button offer, everyone has one and you took up the challenge. Thanks for the education. Allen is a handsome guy!
Thank you, I'll pass the compliment on to Allan!
I enjoy the humor and dry wit you dispense with during the episodes! And as always, amazing work! Thanks for taking us along. It's like dropping by a good buddy's place for a visit (without having to block sand 😉) Cheers!
Thanks Charley!
Hey Kyle, masterful use of the floor dolly! Great work as usual.
Haha thanks Paul!
Very good step forward, brother.
Thanks!
Someone I knew, could have been me, had a cat that stared at the walls like that. One very quiet night, I heard what the cat was staring at. Somehow, mice had gotten into the walls and were making a nest!
Outstanding job Kyle excellent job
Thank you John!
J'ai beaucoup aimé ta veste. Surtout ne t'avise pas à la restaurer.😊😊
Desde middleburg flo.you number 1 good and.Godblessyou
Kyle I just start laughing when you start showing the door when it's all jacked up because after watching you all this time I no you will knock it out...its like it's no biggie you got it
Haha someday I hope to fail at repairing something just to throw you off!
Very nice Kyle! Cheers, Doug
Thanks Doug!
Carter I don’t care if it takes 20 hours as someone suggested if you fix it you will be able to fix the next one. In my opinion you are the man. Piss on the negative comments of those guys they probably don’t know how to open a a door little lone fixing one.
G,day young fella, your approach and explanation, to the subject is outstanding. Just keep going quietly with it, you will do, very well with your Chanel. Good on ya mate. Hooroo se ya later. 😉
Thank you James!
