Huge Waylon fan here as well, can't get enough of his live performances!
Good ole Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, these men are what formed the soul of America and made it great. One of my favorite songs of Waylon has always been theme song of the dukes of hazard. I'm a good ole boy never meaning no harm. yep brings back memories growing up, my mom and dad always had there music playing.
I completely agree, it's impossible not to feel happy listening to the Dukes of Hazard theme
Wish I could be as creative and have quality tools to perfect my auto body arts. Oh well, practice makes perfect. Hopefully I'll get there some day. Thank you for building my confidence!!!
The only thing missing from the restoration was running it over with the possum van.
Great work on the patch panel.
Love the dead-pan humor.
If the women don't find you handsome, at least they can find you handy. ;)
Always great to hear from another Red Green van. Definitely need to buy myself a possum van haha
Nice metal work,good ideas, thanks. Keep it coming.
I sometimes get concerned about a lack of safety in your videos. However, seeing your practice of running “fire drills”, I am now confident in your safety protocols.
Good job Kyle.
Love the sound of an English wheel!
I was so impressed with the drill restoration that I have decided to renovate my great grandfathers gold watch in a blender. I believe I can save at least three steps in the process. Thanks for the inspiration LOL. Oh and I love the spruce anvil.
Keep me posted on how the watch restoration goes. I've got a few family heirlooms that could use a restoration.
I suggested your show to my therapist, he's now charging me double.
His therapist needs to get paid too!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Ha!
Dude that's funny. Cheers!
Saaaayyyy.....that drill restore gives me an idea for my right knee thats been out of sorts lately. I can set it on fire, then beat on it with a 15 lb. Sledge!!!
Thanks for the inspiration 😂😂😂👍😁
Haha you're welcome. Let me know how that works out for you
I gotta make me a tucking fork now. Awesome video!
They are a handy tool! Thanks for watching!
This is second best to Scott’s bondo fabricated doors on his old dodge! Great work! 😂😂
No one will ever match the greatness of Scott's bondo door, but I'm honored that you place this nonsense in second!
Being from Wisconsin and all, I'm a bit slow to catch on, but I just realized this is like watching Red Green: The Next Generation. Are your people from Port Asbestos? Also, that drill took some real abuse, but you brought it back from the brink. A testament both to your skills and to the quality of O'Brien tools.
you are so fantastically weird. absolutely love your videos.
I take that as quite a compliment!
Looks perfect to me
The live Waylon Jennings from '74 was an excellent choice. Followed your lead and eventually ended up with The Sheepdogs Learn and Burn....just for you Canadians.
Thanks John!
No matter what you are working on Kyle I always learn something and appreciate your humor too 👍 best to you man, stay safe and warm.....loved the offensive honking reference 😁
Thanks for tuning in as always! Glad you got a kick out of the honk reference haha
You may work on a door? But how would we relate? You mean doors can be worked on? Wow. More surprises await.
The fender came out nice but that was to be expected.
I built the British version of the wheeling machine because I only speak English. Does that mean I can only work on British vehicles?
Wheeling machines are also know. as "Thumb Squashers".
Your little fire went out while you were shrinking the patch and you just kept working. Then you had a bare knee? It's a wonder the water on your knee doesn't freeze. You must be tough.
"All sixteenths" Oooo that's is a good tool.
I'm quite impressed with the adhesion promoter torch that you use. Is there a special model needed for that?
And that paint must be really special for the drill. I've never used paint that require open flame to blend. Impressive.
The results of how well it drilled through that titanium was amazing. But you did have a little flash on the camera a couple of times that changed the colour of the drill and even your clothes. Must have been a colour "temperature" glitch.
I stand by the offer I made during the live stream... I'll give you 3 rolls of duct tape for the drill. And not that dollar store stuff. But you have to pay for shipping of the drill.
I think that is a fair trade.
Hi Joe, you could give it a try, but be warned that an American car may reject any patches built on a wheel that uses the queens english.
I reccomend whatever torch has the hottest flame for promoting adhesion to plastic.
I'll let the editing team know about the glitch during the drill demonstration, they haven't been pulling their weight lately.
Oh and the offer on the drill is tempting, I am considering another cash offer at the moment, but I could use more duct tape...
Dang. That's why the patches failed.
Thanks to thou towards torch temp tip. Good advice.
Ya. Good help is hard to find.
Money over good duct tape? Tsk tsk
WWRGD? (What Would Red Green Do)
Another nice job on the fender patch. It seems to me, though, that for the tight bend at the corner, you could maybe slit some narrow pie sections a few times and bend over and weld up the remaining metal, rather than gather all of that and beat it up so much. Then I see you doing the 'look-away' welding technique on the tacks. I am surprised at how many guys do that. Then there was ... uh ... yeah ... uh ... the drill. Now that frozen relic is one of a kind! And BTW, I KNEW you were going to replace it with a real one, although I did not predict the use of a cordless. Fun stuff!
Hi Dennis the pie cut and weld method is considered a poor practice. Any time you weld metal you are damaging it so it's best kept to a minimum. Not only that, but it's much more tedious than just shrinking the metal and the final product is never as nice
Nice fender repair man!
Thank you!
Thanks for the other channel hook up ! Thanks JW
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great sense of humor! Always enjoyable.
Thanks for watching!
The abandoned drill segment had me crying I was laughing so hard!!!
Sorry for making you cry, but I'm glad to hear you got a laugh out of it haha
Good job with the patch panel and nice tucking tips too! And thanks for the inspiration, i have to go melt all my abandoned tools from the frozen buckets now
Good luck with your tool restorations!
Video concerning drill restoration is like an extended Red Green Show...
Haha thanks, I try!
I hope we get snow where I'm at this year, I'd love to try out your steps for restoring a drill. Maybe I could cheat a little and use the freezer. Love your videos
Fantastic repair! Nicely worked on the bilingual wheel. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
very good video thank you
Thanks for watching!
like i said "Red Green" excellent
Haha thanks!
You don't know how much I appreciate this video. I've been searching RUclips for a good drill restoration video!
Awesome, glad I could help you out!
Lol, I really like the winter solstice fire dance at the beginning. Great job on fender patch, nice drill restoration.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it haha
Love the equipment restoration portion. Keep it coming!
Thanks George, glad you enjoyed it!
For shrinking the metal, why not just cut some out (even just the width of the cutting wheel) and weld it closed after forming the two flanges? Another way could be to just hem it 180 degrees around with the twisty shrinker tool, and hammer that flat, big shrinks! Love that drill restoration, the rigid orange really pops!
1st way works, but is a lot of cutting and welding and doesn't produce as nice a result. In theory it's always best to keep welding to a minimum. 2nd way, if the metal is folded over itself it creates a spot for rust to form in between, also not going to be very smooth. Even though I didn't care if this panel was perfect, with tuck shrinking you can get it totally smooth if you keep working it
@@CarterAutoRestyling Thanks for the explanation!
Time for coach Carter's carosserie corner!!!
Stay tuned & be enlightened!
Haha something like that. Thanks for watching!
Cool tool to make gathers in the sheet metal.
Yeah it comes in handy often!
I've figured out one think about you...your a fire bug lol always injoy your videos
Guilty as charged haha
Kyle..."We're gonna fabricate a happy little patch panel". Bob Ross couldn't have said it better. Is the English Wheel in Canada called the Bilingual Wheel because it has a French Curve? PS Listening to Waylon while while Waylon on the metal...Right on!
Hi Kelly, yes I believe that's how the name came about. Gotta have the right tunes to stay motivated when morale is low!
Dude! You had me dying with that drill switch! Almost had me for a second! Thanks for the shoutout brother!! You’re the man! Also you’re so good at this shit man. You got skills for sure!
Also do you have an Instagram?
Thanks! I hope it helps you out some! This RUclips thing is the only social media I have...I figured I'd skip past the easy ones like Facebook and Instagram and go straight for the biggest time waster of them all haha. Thanks for watching!
Magic hands and mind. :)
Not sure about the mind haha
Just remember Kyle, in Apollo 13 Kevin Bacon's character left messages on the control patch so he wouldn't send Tom Hanks and Bill Paxton into outer space! So you're not an idiot, just thinking ahead!😉 Great job!
Yeah thinking ahead....that's what we'll call it! Thanks for watching!
👍😎👍 - impressive as always
Thanks!
i've seen that Tuck Shrinking explained many times now (Peter Tomassini, Make it Kustom and yourself) and i just thought while you were showing with your drawing, of a way which might best SHOW what's happening. i was thinking plasticine but then thought maybe aluminium foil might also be able to show it(albeit wrinkled). your explanation is very good as usual. this way up sign looks extremely useful.
Kyle in one of your future videos kindly show us how you repair metal rusted out areas that are around windshield and rear windows. I own a Jeep wrangler that is 32 years old, it's been garaged the better part of its existence but is still rusting badly around the windshield glass.
I don't have any rusted windshield openings at the moment, but I'll be sure to make a video when I do. As for your Jeeps windshield frame, I've owned two Wranglers (a 92 and a 97) both had the same issue. My advice would be to just replace the whole windshield frame. Once the rust gets into those there's no stopping it.
"Any tool can be the right tool."
I thought I invented the repurposed Crescent Wrench as a brake bender.
Great minds think alike haha
I'm in southern Arizona so on average we both live in a very comfortable climate. A bunch of druggie neighbors just disappeared ahead of the law and left their cats behind, so now in addition to my 3 dogs I have 4 cats I have spayed and neutered, shots and feeding them and getting them to trust me, which is a tough sell after you have trapped them and spayed and neutered them..

Thank you!
Yay 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍 need to hear something positive for a chamge👍
Haha this is not a great place to be if you're looking for positivity, but thanks for stopping by!
Extremely interesting MIG welding the metals first, and then TIG welding to finish the job. Thank you.
PS-Great work on the fender, and definitely entertaining with the drill. Believe or not, I thought that you might get it to work; well, until I saw you just stick the cord in.
If I'm not going for perfection I find it's usually faster to just tack it in with the Mig. Thanks for watching!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Everything you do is considered perfect for most of us that are learning by you sharing your work. Thank you for doing so.
A couple bottles of Jack Daniels should aid in your drill repairs. Be sure to chug BOTH bottles BEFORE beginning your repairs.
I'm banned from the liquor store so I have to do things the hard way
So true about the price of steel. I just ordered 4 sheets of steel and 2 lengths of tube and 2 of square tube. Was over $1000 NZ.
I nearly cried.
Yeah I went through sticker shock when I ordered metal a couple weeks ago. It's crazy.
The trick is to buy the standard size sheets and standard size long ass tubes, the markup is insane on having a few things cut to a special size. You might even get away with buying large format material, picking it up yourself and cutting it to size right in the parking lot
Pretty good job on that fender but your definitely a master at frozen tool restoration, what a perfect specimen of craftsmanship and attention to detail 👌 lol,
Haha yeah I specialized in frozen tool repair before I got into autobody
@@CarterAutoRestyling 🤣🤣🤣
Your sense of humor is growing on me. Is there some kind of remover? LOL 8-)) I wonder how many folks have an equivalent item to the drill!? That is: message received sir, LOL!
I think it has to be surgically removed haha
I was guessing you had a new pair of shoes in the bucket. That fender repair is a work of art and the drill is a pure abstract delight. My piss bucket iced up as well. Luckily I only dropped my cell phone in there and it didn’t freeze right to the bottom due relatively less harsh Upper Canadian temperatures this winter.
Haha sorry to hear about your phone! Thanks for watching!
A long, cold, winter does strange things to a man.
Love the shoes too. hahaha... Red Skelton is who comes to mind... Your work is terrific . Like the show... I think your a bit harsh on yourself... Tofu and spinach helps with that... Truckers are amazing... lol Bilingual wheel... On making a corner... I have been known to use a hydraulic press. cutting out a die with a blow torch and grinding the sides nicely. I place the metal under with the mate of the curve tack welded on the shelf then the mate on top of the metal and i then jack down the press causing the metal to take the form of the corner, sometimes a bit of heat will make it conform to the radius. I hope this made some sense???
Good idea for making corners! Thanks for watching!
I love watching this homeless guy, he’s such a great guy.😐
Great work. 👍
Thanks!
Always interesting.
I try. Thanks for watching!
Nice work turned out really nice 👍🏼 the fender was good to 👍🏼take it easy mate 👍🏼🍺😎🇳🇿
Yeah the fender came out ok, but most of my effort went into the drill haha. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel and must say superb work sir !! Thanks vwcoco
Thank you! Glad you could stop by!
make it kustom has a video on how to make the fork shrinker.
When you’re working at speed, have you ever pinched a thumb in the English wheel? Asking for a friend.
Yes haha. It feels great!
Looks like a rebranded pink drill from Casey's Custom RUclips channel.
Haha could be?
I like the bear knee tig control is something I will have to try...
Yeah it works well haha
I always use short strand fiberglass on my drills. Never had one catch on fire when I use fiberglass
Wish I would have known that sooner haha
I always like to see your repairs on fenders. Every bit is different. I'm wondering if you can work on a 30's headlight bucket? Getting those pesky dents out seems tricky to me. Can it be done with simple tools?
I have a few bashed up headlight buckets that are on the list for video content. They are actually pretty forgiving to repair
Love your channel! We obviously shop at the same mens clothing store.
Glad you like it! The costume department here does great work!
Spoke too soon 🤣😂😆
Nice!! Subscribing!!
Thank you!!!
What is RAC Garage backwards? CAR or Carter Auto Restyling!
Well we do go about things backwards here haha
👀 That o Rileys drill must have Dewalt parts in it...lol
Haha must be!
Could you consider welding in a half rear quarter panel with brazing and oxy acetylene as we did in the 60's and 70's, I think it would make a great video to show people how it used to be.
That would be an interesting video for sure. My 77 Malibu had that done when it was only a few years old. I can't see any advantage to doing it these days, but it would be a fun to give it a go. When I have a little disposable income I'd like to buy myself a beater shop truck and use it for testing out various old school repair techniques.
@@CarterAutoRestyling How much do you need?
@@rockcrusher4636 a couple grand and a lot of spare time
Fashionesta as usual.....well presented video...nice work....put me in line for the drill give away too....👍👍
I'll add your name to the list!
Молодец видно работяга
any relation to Steve Smith from the "Red Green Show"? remarkable similarity in style.
I grew up watching Red Green so you could say he was highly influential haha
Maybe a contest for the drill???
How do you deal with cabin fever? 🤪😳😵💫 👍🏴
Burn things haha
I try not to buy cabins.
@@katbarker3358 or fix dents with airbags?
If my cabin has a fever I give it 2 Asprins...
Next week you can restore your shoes after they caught on fire. Thanks to the Paytrons
Yeah the shoes are definitely due for a retread!
How you grind down your whole puncture that's the exact same thing I did to mind for the same reason
Nice work on that plastic drill. I didn't know you work with plastic. I have a 2020 Corvette with a damaged fender. You obviously have the skill to repair that. Do you have a time slot open to take on this job????? lols
Oh yeah I could definitely tackle that for you, just make sure your car insurance covers fire damage.
Was that a Princess Auto tree stump? Couldn't find it on their website. Love your, show don't change eh! Cheers from Ontario.
They don't list it online, it's only available in store, or in the parking lot if you bring a chainsaw.
Can’t believe you’re not using duct tape on the drill. What a hack!
Only the best around here!
"let the world call me a fool...."
Carter Fender Repair...
The story of my life!
I truly enjoy your channel. What brand English wheel do you have?
Thanks! It's from Princess Auto (Canadian harbor freight) I'd probably recommend saving up for a better quality one
A Museum would likely pay big Money for a Drill from the Ice Age..
Yeah it's another history relic destroyed by unsympathetic restoration.
If you pay shipping I'll take it for $20.00 . That should be enough for me to walk it to the trash .🤣
Hmm that's the best offer yet haha
A guy tried to sell me that drill at a car boot sale, told me it looked a bit rough but ran like new, wanted 300 bucks for it, was that you?I Haggled for a while and eventually got him to part with it for 325,I took it home to the pool room.
I can't confirm it was me, but it sounds like you got a great deal on a drill!
I have a old chain saw that i cant get running would you have time to get it running?
Only if you want to ensure that it will never run again haha
I have a frozen saws-all. Is the restoration technique the same?
Yes it can be applied to sawzalls and other frozen equipment.
Does the drill come with the bit?
Yes haha
As a faithful viewer, I’m concerned about the lack of use from the repaired jacket you did a few videos ago. I’m also troubled by the decided lack of cats and duck tape lately. Have you been replaced by aliens and the real Kyle is off in space being probed while your alien doppelgänger is working hard here on earth? Just curious 🤨. 😀 stay warm.
Thanks for being a faithful viewer! A few of my other viewers expressed concern about the repaired jacket being damaged before they had a chance to win it in the 50,000 subscriber giveaway, so I have put it safely away. Unfortunately I was only able to feature the cats briefly in this episode as I didn't want them to become traumatized by the drill restoration
You could mess your shoe up flipping a hot drill over like that! Be careful.
Thanks for the tip haha
Get some knee pads …….it will save your new jeans !
Not perfect?!!!!! Who you kidding ?🤣
Yeah the drill came out mint haha
A fucking torque tool and a big hammer, how could you fail?
Failure was not an option haha
sorry to ask a boring, unfunny question, but what tig welder do you use?
Miller Diversion 180. It's an entry level welder, but it has served me well
Hahahaha
Worry not- the lite at the end of the tunnel is near. The darkness of the day will disappear an all will be normal again. @!#$%@@
We shall see about that haha. Thanks for watching!
