- Disclaimer: The information presented in this video is based on my personal opinions and techniques. What works for me may not work for you. There is more than one way to fix a dent, this is just the way I like to do it.
In this short film I will be repairing a few minor dents in the fender of my 1936 Chevy Truck. I will be showing the steps and techniques to remove a dent without using filler.

Why would you us a plunger you can reach the whole dent from under
I didn't even think to try! Is that even possible?
Why would you type and submit a comment/question without including a question mark at the end of your sentence? 😆
Why would you post a question before watching the whole video? It was obviously a joke. You know, humor....one of those things from the past that most of the world used to have till recently. Geezzzz.... I have watched several of this gentleman's videos in the last few days and I find the amount of good, useful information he is giving FOR FREE is outstanding. I do not understand how a video like this has 64 thousand views but only a 1000 likes? Something wrong with humanity these days.
Another awesome video Kyle! There's a true to metal work. Some of us got it and some of us don't. This is why body feel came into the world. And that part of the fender that you just done came phenomenally Kyle! I totally appreciate the way you explain how and why you use the tools you do. And how and why you shouldn't use certain tools. Always going to find haters in this World. I wonder how many RUclips videos the haters put out? Keep up the gray work Kyle some of us do appreciate what you do. I for one will continue watching your videos, either till I can no longer see or until you no longer record whichever one comes first. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
GOING BACK AND RE-WATCHING.
I LEARN SOMETHING EVERYTIME.
Thanks for suffering through the reruns!
Glad Scott from Cold War Motors suggested coming over. Awesome video. Love the dry humour! Definitely an artist at work. Keep up the good work.
Scott sent me. Glad I'm seeing what you do! Will be returning. 8-))
First time I ever seen you was on ColdWarMotors with Scott and his T. You, sir, are AMAZING at what you do. I wish I was 1/4 as good as you. I love how you explain everything you do and what you're doing it with. I already subscribed. Keep up the amazing work you do.
Very happy to hear that you enjoy this type of thing! Thanks!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I really do enjoy it!
Great job, love that you show and explain the tools that you use. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
great show of skilled craftsmanship and how to do it correctly.
Hi, found this channel because i ported over from cold war motors.
I'm really looking forward to check out all your video's. It's a no nonsens attitude, and real craftmenship i found here!
Best regards from the Netherlands,
Nico den Haak.
Thank you very much for stopping by!
Thank you so much for explaining the process to this rookie. Cheers from Australia
There are teachers. And then there are people who TEACH. You sir are the latter . You ROCK.
Wow thanks for the kind words!
I could use a long response telling you how right you are in every point, instead, I just hope that everyone watching this watched it and listened. Great videos, I am happy to see the art of true metal work not lost on the younger generations.
You sir just earned yourself another subscriber. No nonsense, easy to understand and very doable for anyone with a shop and a few tools. Nicely done.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Thank You for showing us how to restore an vintage Chevy fender properly....
Thank you for watching!
Ported over from CWM. Great info, and great work!
Just popped over and subscribed after watching my regular installment of Cold War Motors! Scott was right you're doing some great work sir! Nice!!
Thanks Robert! I appreciate it!
Thanks, this helps me a lot to understand what to do.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad to hear it was useful!
wow, yesterday I was #888, today you are in your way to 3k and adding!
Hi, Greetings from Colorado, USA. Scott from cold war motors sent me. Fantastic Education, Thank You
Thanks for stopping by Joel! Glad you could find this useful!
I can hear you now thanks for addressing it.I.m learning thanks for helping us average Joe.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
I have been doing body work since 1989 but watching your videos I learn something new every video you do really nice work
Thanks David!
You're a very skilled guy, but for a mere mortal like me, I will stick to my "dents add character" theory. Great video.
Thanks, I may have to adopt that theory. I'd get a lot more done if I quit wasting my time on such trivial things!
Takes me back to 1973 when I was in the Autobody course at Red River College.👍👍
That's awesome! It's funny they are still teaching it the same way at the Autobody course here in Sask. Time goes on, but dents never change.
I'd love to see that whole truck restored so if you want to record it I'll watch it all,, nice work 👍
Thanks! If I had my way I'd drop everything else and work on it until it's done, but for now I'll have to settle for working on a little at a time.
@@CarterAutoRestyling that's a sweet truck, I can't wait for your next video on it, you do some great work, just don't start putting big spoilers on Hondas and I'll keep watching 😀
@@geoffreymills9932 haha you won't see any big spoilers on Hondas here! I have a certain (very low) standard of quality to uphold!
@@CarterAutoRestyling love it
GREAT VIDEO
I am on my Christmas Eve "Carter Marathon" and having a blast.
Fantastic way to spend the evening!
Thanks Glen! Hope you had a great Christmas!
Im seeing great skill and talent right before my eyes. Really do appreciate your time and effort that you put into these video’s. I know about laboring over a project, new or redoing. my shoulder and elbow reminds me everytime i lift my tailgate, ha. Stay withit bud!
Great educational video Kyle. I really like your explanation and use of tools, definitely shows me what I need to do to get my truck looking decent. I don't know if I'll get as good as you do, but the less filler the better.
Thanks for watching Ken! I'm glad to hear you found it useful!
Cool beans. Finding a missed episode is better than finding money in the dryer.
"If you are building like a a pebble beach car you won't be watching this because you probably grew up knowing more the I'll ever know" hahahahahahaha that was hilarious and so stinking true.
Glad you got a laugh out of that one haha.
Nice work! It is rare to see anyone doing body work today to metal finish to the degree you did on this repair.
Thank you!
Very informative video, nice work
Thanks!
The best small dent repair video I have ever seen .Great tips as well you are a very talented craftsman. Anyone thinking about trying to fix some dents on there cars needs to see this. Merry Christmas to you and your family from Australia.
Thanks for the kind words!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours from Canada!
Great job of doing and explaining.
Every tool has it's place. I used to tell my students to use a tool... don't be a tool.
Thanks, that's a great saying!!
Very clear. Very good.
Thank you!
Nice job
Thank you!
Kyle your moulding metal skills are marvellous! I thought for a sec you were going to give the dents the royal flush with that plunger! Happy trails! Kelly
haha! Thank you for watching Kelly!
Just discovered your channel, excellent video, very clear explanations backing up your actions thank you for sharing 😊
Awesome, thank you!
This body knocker knows his business.
Great work young man. Merry Christmas.
Thank you Larry!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Fantastic work, better than a 25 lb tub of filler like some "bad" body workers.
Thank you! I will admit that the guys who use 25 lb tubs of filler are amazing sculptors! haha
I'd like to see the whole Truck Metalworked!
Oh I'm just going to be fixing the passenger fender and the rest of the truck body is staying as is.
Totally appreciate this video Kyle. I truly appreciate the way you explain what tools to use and what tools not to use in certain circumstances. A person that has the skill to work metal is an art, which is becoming lost. It's good to have people like yourself to give pointers to some that are interested in these types of things! Some of us have it and some of us don't! Then body fill was figured out. Keep up the awesome content Kyle. That part of the fender came out phenomenal Kyle. I enjoy your channel immensely! Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! The skills required to work on these old cars are no longer neccesary as modern cars require a completely different skillset.
I really don't understand why all that metal shrinking/stretching, hammer and dolly work, etc. was done when you could have saved all that work and time had you stuck with using the old skool toilet plunger. Lmao. Again great demonstration, and amazing work.
My thoughts exactly haha. Thanks for watching!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Somehow I just stumbled across your UTube site, and so glad i did. I've watched just two of them so far and they were right down my alley. I know I will be learning so much from you in future vids.. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Thanks for sharing Kyle,, 👍😎👍
A feller can see the effectiveness of the bullseye hammer on the low spots, thanks to the red oxide primer acting as a guide coat. This is a great "How to" video. Cheers!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful!
Love the Cold War shout out great stuff!!!!
You are a great teacher.
You don’t give yourself enough credit. You are very good 👍
Thanks!
Very entertaining and useful. Love your videos...
Cool video 👍🏼take it easy mate 👍🏼🍺🇳🇿
Thanks, you too!
nice job Kyle
Beautiful job boss! Can I save you a few " classic Chevy dents" on this 37? Haha cheers! Looking forward to more...
Haha well your dent removal process is a lot more refined than my primitive ham fisted approach! Also I heard the Smithsonian is seeking out "classic dents" for a future exhibit, so you may want to have the dents examined for historical significance before proceeding with the repairs.
Very nice
Thanks!
New subscriber (Scott @ CWM sent me). I look forward to going thru all your vids. I also like your work.

Teck Tip!

Excellent tip!
Very nice job
Thank you
This is an excellent video. Thanks so much. I have subscribed to you.
Thanks and thank you for subscribing!
cartoonish workshirt takes the gold medal for longevity 🙂
haha thanks!
I am new to this. Thanks for sharing your skill and expertise, but I struggle with pulling out dents when you CAN'T get access from behind the panel. Old steel is pretty thick and even with stud welder I really struggle.
If it's something I care about I'll often remove the inner structure so I have access to hammer out the damage.
Dang that's Amazing n No filler
Thanks!
Great, thanks for sharing!!! 👍 👍 👍
Thanks for watching!
@ 5:10 I spy with my little eye, Colonel Sanders' face
Watch wild west he give you a shout out so I'm first time watcher hell of a job and i just subscribed thanks for videos
Yes I enjoy watching Wild West Garage, he does some incredible metalwork. Thanks for checking out my channel and subscribing!
Just subbed....great work n info thx 👏👏👏🇨🇦
Thanks for signing on, I appreciate it!
Great job and instruction. Even if we don't finish to that level, it shows that investing time in good metalwork pays off when trying to finish it with body filler. Primer would have filled those tiny divots before you used the grinder. Nicely done tho
Thank you! Yes it would have, but the trouble with putting stuff on the internet, is that people who have never worked on a car in their life make a hobby out of finding flaws with other peoples work. So far I'm fortunate to have a great audience, but I figured an extra couple minutes on the repair would save a bunch of explaining.
🙋🏼♂️bom dia Amigo 👍🏻 🇧🇷
GOOD MORNING 🇺🇸
So good.
Thanks
Yes please. I would love to see more on that fender! With your truck is that maybe a 33?
The truck is a 36, thanks for watching
They look so similar I didn’t realize that there were many years that looked identical is the grill different by the years? Kind of like you can tell I’m always a 30 by its grill?
Pls keep body work on your 36' coming, Thank You!
Will do!
IMO metal finishing on a thick metal car like that is GREAT....and much easier than a newer thin metal car. VWs are thin metal in comparison and almost impossible to metal finish on flat areas. I do the fenders a lot but when it comes to busses and the flat metal......it is just too much time for very little gain. Especially when your talking about areas that are hard to reach. inner panels with supports. Just too much time.
Great video! I have a 34 Chev with the same crack at the center of the fender (both sides). Looks like someone welded yours. Any thoughts on a repair video on it and if you'll add any support so it doesn't crack again?
Thanks! Yes when I have time I want to put together a video on fixing cracked fenders. Someone in the past arc welded mine and made a real mess. I typically don't add reinforcements to cracks. I prefer to just restore the structural integrity to original specs. The constant vibration from driving through fields and rough unpaved roads is what originally caused them to crack, so the odds of a properly repaired fender cracking again under modern driving conditions is slim.
