My cat really enjoyed watching the vacuum destroying montage. 😂
Gene Windfield born 1927 has been using lead for 90 years. He is still with us and looks great!
After the careful disassembly of the vacuum cleaner...it fits this episode rather nicely...
...as neither one sucks.
Glad to see the use of the heat activated and formed 'bondo'.
Keep up the great work and episodes!!!
Haha thanks! I'll try to keep at it!
Cold War Motors is proud of you for Embracing the Suck!
Missed you catching on fire while playing with the filler. The vacuum cleaner tutorial was very informative and educational.
Lead finish looks so nice 👍
No need to spend money on therapy this week!!! When in doubt, Bissell out!!! Well done doctor Kyle!!! Thanks for the free therapy!!!
Bissell out! Love it!
I appreciate you taking the lead on this Impala door for us.
That vacuum cleaner deserves a full restoration video for his services!
Restoration?
He is talented, but I'm not sure he's a miracle worker.
A burial mound, perhaps, but it has sucked it's last dirt.
All hail the new vacuum cleaner.
@@roomwithapointofview 🤣
Beautiful job on the door. It’s understandable that you take a break from the Chicken Truck in order to pay the cat food bill. The claw hammer certainly did a number on the single use plastics. Back in the day when vacuum cleaners were made of lead you’d have needed a torch for disassembly. The health risk comparison between bondo and lead is so funny because it’s so true. Looking forward to the next episode.
This video exceeds the recommended daily allowance of Impala. Authorities notified.
The destruction of the vacuum felt like German performance art that pairs nicely with your occasional smoldering jacket.
Liked before watched. Know it will be excellent as always. I fixed a TV remote that way
Good times. 👍✌️😎❤️🇺🇸
Scott has done a lot of great things, but turning us onto Kyle Carter is one of the best. :)
It was very kind of him to give this channel a jump start!
Big 👍 Kyle. Your brilliant Bondo work @CWM is how I found this channel and darn it I’ve been hooked ever since. Today is Saturday so I get a double dose of Canadian hijinks. 🍻
Excellent how that cobble work turns out quite perfect.. Yes amazing.. Special MEoWic.
Lead= mat hater syndrome could apply...stay safe..
As an apprentice i remember seeing Leonard the body shop guy leading up 1960's Rover 90,s and stuff like this, so satisfying to see a ratty patchwork quilt looking car rapidly become presentable again
Always enjoyable, I laugh and I learn, even now. Something to ponder, my dad, and myself now, used lead/tin solder and plugs for trim holes and used it for small rust pitted areas. Awesome content.
You are the real deal sir. A true craftsman. I enjoy seeing the right way of fixing these old vehicles. Keep up the great work!
You know the term "Lead sled"? I'm old enough to remember when plastic fillers didn't exist. All the older kids of the 1950's used to customize their cars using lead. Some of the coolest designs came out of mixing Oldsmobile or Buick grills with Mercury headlights and Chevy tailfins all blended together with lead then painted in candy apple Blue, Pink or Green.
I've always heard that term used to refer to 49-51 ford's. Lead sled or shoe box.
neat
Yup, all my bodywork heroes started out building lead sleds back in the pre-bondo days!
Yes, these early '49-'51 Fords & Mercs, were often the subject of customizing because they were plentiful, cheap to buy and had V-8's so naturally due to the lead work they were called "Lead sleds" but they weren't the only ones having that definition.
Since so many cars of the era were outdated in appearance in less than 4 or 5 years due to Detroit's styling change tastes, A lot of the bulbous, high roofed, heavy weight 2 door cars were sought after to reshape but in truth Early to Mid 50's cars like '48-52 Plymouths, Dodges, Kaiser & Henry Jays '53-'54 Chevys & Pontiacs, '55-'56 Oldsmobiles, Buicks, & Mercurys (and even some Pre-finned Studebakers or foreign cars) were selected for body changes and were called Lead sleds.
I knew a guy who took and Austin "A-40" Devon, chopped the roof, Frenched the existing Headlights and added two more into the front fenders and then shoehorned a 52 Lincoln flathead into it. He had to bolster the springs to compensate for the engine's weight and it over supported the car's nose giving it a gasser appearance. He painted it this black and added Orange to white flames to the front, licking all the way to the back window (this too was big in those days).@@aaadamt964
I actually like lead loading...
That new box content was epic! Thank you as.always for sharing your skills and knowledge.
Lead schmlead. I'm here only for the cat content.
You finally figured out that I only tune in for that exciting cat content. It was especially captivating this time. I may have accidentally picked up a little bit of auto restyling info between the cat segments. Thanks.
Thank you kindly for sharing your garage adventures, Mr Metal Magician,, 💖🙏💖
I called in the wife to enjoy the repair sequence on the vacuum cleaner. She is impressed with you skills an thanks you for the tutorial. I enjoyed the lead work filler part.
Great video, I use the same technique to “fix” crappy appliances. I fixed a printer that way once.
Are you for hire? I've got a couple printers in need of an experienced repairman.
And sandpaper! That stuff is DANGEROUS!! I sanded the end off my thumb one time, and there was no warning!!!!
It's brutal stuff! Haha
Glad you showed steps in using lead for repair. Great job, oh yea, I had been trying to remember who I lent my wife's vacumn cleaner to. Just keep it untill I need it.
I really loved the plug for Carter's Factory Authorized Bissell Vacuum Repair Service, good luck, it looks like you have the technique down pretty good.
I've been using a ball peen hammer for vacuum repair. Now I see how the rip claw is way more effective, thanks for the tip! Cheers! 😎👍🔨
Glad to help!
Another masterpiece
I used to fall for your tricks. Never again. I KNEW you were gonna lead it from Jumpstreet.
You do damn good work. Thank you for your efforts.
Aww man.
Those hundred-year-old paint chips off the windowsill were so tasty. Especially the green ones.😅
Kyle what a way to start a Saturday, watching a fine young man lay down some Plumbumb!
I've been soldering electronic circuits for over 50 years using various lead tin formulations. Sometimes 60/40/, maybe 70/30 and if I am feeling particularly rebellious, 63/37. Folks may say I'm not quite right in the head, but wait! What was I talking about again?
Those Bondo Sticks are amazing! I need to get some of those.. Dang Bondo company always innovating!!
Hey, That vacuum had it coming.
“Going to the store is scary”. Ha ha ha! Love this guy.
I did a lot of that while working on older telephone cables that had lead sheathes. We also used lead wiping cloths as well as a shaving hook for contouring. That is an art form. So glad you guys are still keeping it alive. The fender looks great!
Thank you!
Great progress Kyle and also great tutorial on doing it the right way. Your cat is not real sure about that box. Mine sees a box and jumps in it. Thanks for the video.
I really learned something watching you leading the door. It was great. Thanks.
Can’t wait to see how you section the hood on the chicken truck!
Memories: The very first patches I ever welded were the corners of the doors of my 63 Belair. That was 41 years ago. I had no idea of the shrinkage a weld can cause. After I was finished, the lower parts of the door were quite wavy. As the car was white it was hardly visible.
The repairs were nearly identical to the one you showed. Some inner corners needed patching as well. After 39 years we had to replace the lower parts of the doors again. Well if a repair lasts nearly fourty years it was not made to shabby. Nothing lasts forever. Well maybe classic Chevies do.
I’ve never heard of an Impalador before. Ambassador and Impala love child? As love would have it, it must be a Moredoor
Well, looks like I've made it 😂😂😂 A grown man watching another grown man spread lead around and it isn't boring 😂😂😂 This is the life 😅
This was the way we did it when I began working in body shops in 1951. The old guys that smoked cigars while they used the acetylene torch, wood paddle, and the lead bar were artists. I never saw any Bondo until a few years later - then in the 60s it seemed like everybody was using it and the old "lead" patches disappeared. I still smoked cigars while I worked until I gave them up over 40 years ago because of bronchitis.
For months now I have tried to copy your bodywork techniques without success . However after seeing your methods for domestic appliance rebuilds I have re-enacted them near perfectly . My wife will be delighted when she gets home
Haha right on!
You could make lead chip stew like Mom used to make 😮😂🤙😎👍
Any lead work videos are helpful. I'm planning on doing a lot of lead on my 37 Hudson. Never used it for bodywork before but I've done plenty of copper plumbing.
I like this barndough job. Thanks for the suggestion.
You can learn quickly by disassembly, it is also unsually satisfying. Boxes are the best toys for pets and children.
Solder used in Electronics (sorry Bondo) is 60 40 because it goes through the "mushy stage" quickly at a lower temp whereas "lead" for body work being 70 30 stays mushy or workable longer. It is all to do with the phase diagram of Lead/Tin and the alloys thereof.
I do enjoy taking stuff apart. I resently taken apart a recliner. I was going to sell the metal and save the leather for later projects and burn the wood. But now that i see the wood is nice oak ill keep it. It is perfect size to make the ladel you are using in this video. I might even keep part of the mechanism. The foam went into the trash but there were enough big pieces that if you needed to restore parts of a car seat with destroyed foam you could use it. If i did not take the chair apart i would have paid money to trow it away. And the time it took to take it apart i was watching youtube while i took it apart.
Love your vids. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Love the humor,. Thanks for tutorial on the lead application . You show the best how to’s of anyone on the net .
Love watching your very good videos.
Thank you Dan!
I should’ve asked for parts for a vacuum. I didn’t know you were into dismantling. It looks like the very model I needed parts for! Oh well, have a great day.
I've taken a few things apart to see how they work in my time as well :) Laughed my ass off. Thanks for the look at this vanishing art. I live in California GOOD LUCK working with Lead here anymore.
I came in knowing it was click bait. For a brief moment around 11:00 I actually thought for once you were on the up and up. If only you could use your powers of persuasion for good...
Keep the cord from the vacuum...makes a great extension for 2 wire tools with an old cord, or add a 2 wire female end.
I hate the drab color of bondo. I was so excited to see the shiney new bondo. Then I found out it was my childhood friend lead. I have been exposed to lead my whole life and I'm fine as far as you know. Now that I know what the inside of my vacuum looks like I feel confident I can fix it. I learn a lot from your videos and like watching them in slow motion to make them longer. The seemingly Mexican music reminds me of my 18th birthday when I went Tijuana in a bar and watched a show involving a donkey. Thank you for your time.
Between the lead exposure and Tijuana adventure, I'd say you've lived quite a charmed life. Also, thanks for viewing my videos in slow motion, as they were originally intended to be viewed!
Like the lead schooling Thanks for the class
Taking things apart to see how they work is fun. The truck is getting them back together so they work and your mom or wife (in this case, cold war motors) doesn't notice. 😅
Love your videos Kyle. Came across a brand new RUclips channel that the rest of us Kyle fans and Cold War Motors fans will love.
1958 Pontiac Safari Rescue
You went Pete Townshend on that vacuum cleaner. Good job!
Yes! Thank you!
New meaning to "get the lead out"
Taking small appliances apart like that is easy...it's the repair and re-assembly of it when you realize it belongs to a friend and has sentimental value (it was the vacuum he and his late brother & dad used together when he first started repairing cars😨) THAT is the tough part. 🤣
i see you fixed the vac.......what was that about smelling lead........funny stuff bro.
Yes Sir!!!
Bondo bullying is a great way to gain viewers.. "don't consume it" 😂😂😂
Thoroughly enjoyed the vacuum disassembly. Mint! 👌
That's some next level repair job, blown away by your skills!
Especially when you find out, all you had to do was plug your appliance in LOL.
Now you tell me!
I have back over the appliance with my truck to effect the same results.. the compaction make disposal easy.. Ha ha
I’ve disassembled a cordless land line telephone in a similar manner- I determined it couldn’t be repaired
Great body man, poor vacuum cleaner repair man.
Going to the store is scary…. Best line on the internet so far in 2024! And lead ain’t anywhere as dangerous as Co2 gas. Everyone knows that!
In your tutorial you, asusual, forgot to inform the people about the importance of the rigidity of the workbench you are working on, the spongier the better, but also demands greater experience.
I, my self, am only doing bondo and grinding work with the panels suspended by bungeecords! But I am also somewhat of an internet expert....
Nice video as usual! Always great content!
17:50. I’m sure that AvE would approve, as I’ve seen him dissect several appliances to see how they work. Possibly slightly more methodical an approach, though. Possibly.
I'm a returned patreon because of your love of music and your hands-on shop technique. I worked on my cars when I was young, but now I just replace them.
Thank you Robert!
Leads fill the dents better than amalgam fillings
Great looking work as usual, Kyle.
As for erratic behaviour.. I can't say that I witnessed anything out of the ordinary…
Imagine how different our lives would be if cats had opposable thumbs. We would be doomed to an even greater level of servitude to them.
Have a good week.
Lack of opposable thumbs is the only thing preventing cats from taking over the world.
And that's the truth...
Good morning sir
16:52 the kitties were like "Yes human, kill the noise machine! Destroy it!"
Haha yup!
Excellent work !!
If you're a fan of coldwarmotors, you'll remember that Scott has a 1950 or '51 Chevy hardtop coupe in his fleet. That car was mildly customized ( I suspect from the parts he used to do the custom finned taillights, the customizer probably used lead) Those taillights & fins were from a 1949-54 Cadillac.
I've used lead one time. It did work but have to make sure to put on enough lead.
No matter how wobbly, it is still a stand. I would gladly trade the tree stump I use for such a nice wobbly stand.
Haha!
I like the kitties I liked the vacuum cleaner bit😂, with the classical music, and your style humor, all keep me wondering what’s going to happen next? Thank You
Glad you enjoyed!
I have fixed things since I was a toddler. I would take the nobs off of the TV and repair the radio by taking out all of the tubes, did the radio ever work again, nope. My younger brothers would melt lead in the fire place. I don't remember why, it really wasn't any of my business. Love Allan an Poe lovely fur babies!
I live for the end of the show and read the credits and of course watch for Lady Poe and Sir Allan!
I’ve always heard that nature abhors a vacuum. I guess Kyle does as well 😊.
I really like how much pride went into disassembling that vacuum cleaner. Reassembly is exactly the reverse in the same order !
Thanks, I worked really hard on that!
Again, Kyle, your skills are over the top. Especially when it comes to vacuum cleaner service and repairs. I’m in need of a beater bar for my vacuum. Assuming the beater bar is still in pristine condition I could use it for my vacuum. If you would be so kind, please sent, at your convenience, to Keyboard Expert #49, Valley of Shame, Idiot Town USA, 20500. Thanks
I like Fitzees coat-hanger trick too - tack a metal coat hanger to your little circle to hold it in place while you weld it. Although, to be fair, metal/wire coat hangers seem to be a bit of a thing of the past - unless, like you Kyle, you still take all your clothes to the drycleaner every week. Admit it, we can tell by how well you dress for your videos that you have a whole style and hair & makeup department keeping you looking good for your videos.
the vacuum cleaner scene reminded me of a time i was having a cleaning party and the vacuum cleaner i needed showed up after everybody had done all the cleaning the hard way , needless to say that vacuum cleaner ended up pretty much the same way yours did , i don't want to be judgmental but that thing probably deserved a good thrashing and I'm sure one day you'll probably fix it when your not busy ha ha
Thanks for the lesson on doing lead fill on your panels. I have a 68 Camaro and wanted to lead the rear quarter panels. And never had anyway of knowing how they did the lead filler for proper Bondo. Thank you so much.
Back in the day blacksmiths repaired cars with torch welding and wood paddle body solder. I had one of these guys teach us high school welding. his tutorial for electric welding was heres the switch to turn it off and on. Then he said a torch can go anywhere. all you need is a match book.
We enjoyed your retro bondoing! Lady Poe really enjoys her new kitty condo tower!
Still waiting for you to finish the bodywork on that Studebaker - that guy needs help!
Bondo !!!!!! I never knew it could be so easy lol once again, excellent video
