- In this video I try to take the easy way out and end up warping the roof beyond recognition. Can we return from the Valley of Shame or are we doomed to live in exile on the Mountain of Sorrow?

I've got nothing much to say this time except I admire your aptitude and determination to complete the job, Thumbs up all the way
It’ll be a shame to paint over all that work. Looks freaking amazing!
Nothing wrong with doing things the hard way. That's when you know you can whoop the odds being against you.
Good to see someone take the time to explain why they do things . Keep it up my friend ,
Your metal finishing work is the finest I’ve ever seen. Respect good buddy.
Your work with the doing the wrong way is teaching us more than doing it the most correct way. My mentor in metal working told me the difference between a good body man and a great one is to be able to correct the mistakes.
I thought all your magic came from your "shop coat" but even your going to town attire possesses the same powers!
Most excellent work, always such a great result 😊
Kyle you are the MAN You would be the person that I would want to do my chop top or any of body wok that I wanted or needed done. The best in explaining and showing how an expert would do such incredible work with hand tools A+++++++ videos Kyle.
and i just ordered 3 gallons of Bondo , the hammer and dolly lessons are so helpful please keep them coming, that truck is going to be a work of ART !
You can save a lot of money if you just go with the 5 gallon pail!
Yes once your metal work gets better you'll be using less body filler or sometimes it's better to just replace the whole metal either find it out of the wrecking yard that is close enough or make a pieces from raw sheet metal.
When I first started doing body work right out of high school in 1987 I was using a whole lotta body filler. Intel I learned what other shop's were doing. Replacing metal. These day's they don't even do body work they replace parts or call it a total have the insurance pay out.
I bought a few classic with total paper work on them because shop's don't do work on car's that are 20 year's older.
@@g.o.b.2558 or BONDO BILLY
Now there's a body work hack. 🤣🤣🤣
Bondo is for those that have no metal finishing skills period.
@@jsh3234 Do you have any video's of your metal finishing work? Just curious. Because after all the welding and grinding sanding seems like trying to work the metal using no bondo/body filler will take up a whole lot of time when a person has a lot of other thing's to the car/truck safe to drive on the road there's a whole list.
Spend all that time on metal work when some one could just side swip all the work that has been done. I can see if someone was going to show it bare metal then yeah I can see spending many many hour's on metal finishing work and using lead filler what most metal finisher use is lead.
Another great video. Very educational and informative about why you are doing everything to get it back into shape. Really like the visual aids while explaining what happens when you add pieces and effects of welding. Doing a great job with the repairs, videos, and explanations. Thanks again for bringing us along on this adventure. Until next time, have a great week.
Metal finish at its finest. Great tips Kyle. 😊
Old school or not, what you do is bloody amazing, absolute credit to you mate. Love watching your work. Cheers Steve
It looks nice Kyle, it also looks like it took a long time to get to this point. I don't know if I should tell you this or not, but what the hell. I emailed the Discovery Channel and recommended that they look at your CZcams channel, to possibly offer you a show. I'm not even joking. You do amazing work, much better than some people who are on TV. Just remember the little people when you move to Hollywood.
Thanks John, but I think I'll stick to youtube, even though having my own ceement pond is tempting!
I appreciate a person who can be their own critic . I watch your videos and you are as talented metal man as I ever witnessed . I compliment you young man !!!
It's good to see that you are doing this the old school way. Gene Winfield would probably approve.
Nice work young man, more please .
The Old Fashioned way, the Hard Way = Constantly Improving Skill Set. 👍👍
Thanks for the demonstration and superior music. Amazing how careful cobbling can turn junk in to perfection. Excellentness and meow, too.
Awesome video. So much learning going on here. Winter has arrived in northern Indiana too. I stocked up on dog treats and baking supplies so it's hibernation time for me. The heat in the shop runs a lot but the dehumidifier stopped running. I had to edit this because half my post is gone. I appreciate that you explain the concept as well as the process. I can't wait until you do the escape hatch on the roof so I know how to do that. Mary is amazed and jealous of Poe's editing abilities. Well done. I'm working on making a giant keyboard for her oversized paws. Thank you so much for your time.
I hope you're going to patent that oversized keyboard! I've heard dogs take to video editing a lot faster than cats.
Last year some of my investors got a patent in the US on one of my inventions. It cost about $175.000. Now they are working on Europe. You need one in every country. We are not leaving Canada out. Mary is a fast learner but she is a bitch to work with. Joseph has no motivation.@@CarterAutoRestyling
Educational and entertaining,, 🌟🌟
Thank you ever so much Kyle,, 🙏
Great build on the roof. All the puzzle pieces are assembled and look great.
Again and again you impress me Kyle.
Don't talk you down, in my opinion you are one of the best body fixers on youtube. I really mean it!
That part you finished up looks like nothing ever happened Kyle! Nice work!
Great job Kyle, I appreciate you taking us through your process
The consistent width of your heat affected zones clearly shows the control you have. I see that you weld with the intent to have the fewest stops and starts possible to help limit the distortion they cause. The quality of your work is truly impressive. Thank you so much.
Absolutely agree. Its a real joy to watch a thoughtful and skilled metal worker like Carter doing his trade......knows where and why the inevitable problems occur and has the knowledge and experience and perhaps most importantly, the patience to do what's needed to take corrective measures. And the end results speak for themselves. And by the way, no need to be so self deprecating with workmanship like this! Great stuff and love this channel.
By the way, should have added to the above in saying, like the satire and comedy, and interesting and delightful choice of music as well as the editing. Keep on!
I wish I could do it that wrong. Super nice!
Your tech talk with the circles- very good. And I say the same for the rest of this video. Thanks for recording it.
no need to make a new roof when you are that good at metal finishing great to see this quality of work . To blend all those cuts and patches to flow like they do takes real skills i enjoy this channel a lot thank you
The skill is reading the metal as you go….you have it 👍
Truly, a great job in a very short time span.
That section of roof looks incredible!
Excellent work. Glad you decided to show this method VS fabricating a new piece. Looks really good. And thank-you for answering the bracing question.
Thank you!
Craftsmanship at its best. I love that you go the extra mile. Cheers and stay warm
You are The best metal Fabricator, I have ever seen! Its like your a watch maker for metal Fab! I love to watch you make perfection, out of Junk. Thank you, wish I just had some of your skills!
Old school metal finishing …lost art great job!
I am always amazed by your abilities working with metal!
I'm truly amazed at where you've taken this old truck.
Very satisfying to watch and I love the commentary. Coolest thing I ever seed.
Your a real craftsman , and a "Coach Builder". I love how you manage to maintain the metal thickness , your amazing . I really enjoyed your teaching . Thx
In frames 13:48 to 14:54 at 2x speed, I clearly see the gap close between your arch template and roof as you work the “valley of shame” into its correct shape. Very impressive!
Thanks to the tool explanations. Love your channel and content.
Keeping the craftsmanship alive. Lot's of attention to detail As always a great video.
i could watch you do this for hours! and please don't sell yourself short your skill level is on par with anyone I've seen. I'm glad you stuck with using the shrink disc. it took me several attempts to figure out how it really works. it is only moderately the same principle as shrinking with a torch. again great project, great craftsman!
We should all approach bodywork like this. Great work!
My guess would be that the Dream truck roof , using a gas torch , had a lot more lead in it than yours will have . I believe the cab was sectioned at Vallie Customs , yours is much better . Great work Kyle thanks for sharing ....
According to the magazine articles no lead was used when they chopped the roof on the Dream Truck. Sam Gates and Valley Custom did excellent work, even by todays standards.
With this type of meticulous metal work, very little fillers of any kind will be needed, all adding up, in my opinion, to something that will tend to be much more reliable and durable. I'm not a body person though have done prep work back in the day for painters in big shops, but I imagine that with some of the various types high-build epoxy primers and the like that exist today, that would take care of much of the minor imperfections that might need attention on a work like this.
I'm glad you inserted your commentary on the past and trying different ways to get the same results. It does keep things interesting and sometimes you learn how to build a better mousetrap.
Poe has a great eye for detail and good choices on background music!
I love seeing you move the metal around and make it go into place! Awesome talent for sure! I’m learning how it should go! Now for applying it, hopefully with some success!
Once again Homerun! I really appreciate your hard work and sharing been 40 years since I was in autobody school, its time to bust out the vixen file and get after it. Thanks Kyle.
Well sir, I really love watching you work. It's obvious that you've done this at least once or twice. LOL! Love seeing the kitties too!!
I love old trucks, as a child of the 1950s I have been fortunate enough to see a good number of them. That truck is good hands thanks to your outstanding metal work. Your exceptionalism will deliver you from the Valley of Shame, Very impressive, thumbs up and subscribed - hands down from my old Gear-Head heart!
Thank you!
That looks fantastic, it will block out very nicely with primer.
Kyle Carter...the modest metal master. Thanks to your explanation I have a better understanding of how metal is affected by heat and what it wants to do during and after the welding process. Creating a valley of shame or a mountain of sorrow is what my reptilian brain needed to finally get it. Thanks Kyle.
That was your most enjoyable video yet... I had an excellent cinnamon roll and a good cup of coffee while you were doing your little welding thingy. I've watched that other Canadian fella do these roof chops and I thought I knew all there was to know... but I'm starting to think I might have missed a few episodes. All I can say is it sure looks good from here! Your loyal viewer in a shed
Thank you for mentioning my fellow Canadian. His olde world craftsmanship is truly something to behold and we are all grateful for his contributions to the classic car community.
He's an artist.... just ask him.@@CarterAutoRestyling
Brother, your work is AMAZING, no matter how you do it.
Great videos as usual! You almost actually sound believable when you say you suck, and your skills are normal or common. You are 1 of the best body artists I've ever seen. If you stop pretending to drag yourself under the bus every day, you'd have millions of viewers in no time
Truly brilliant workmanship
Thanks Kyle, I'm in awe... you and the cats stay warm...
Some people do all their best work from behind a keyboard. Seen and heard plenty of people talk about how amazing they are but they will never talk about what they did when they learned or mistakes they make. Keep going looks like its going be a good truck.
Its so refreshing to see a craftsmen at work. So often the bondo goes on before the weld puddle is cool
Another heart warming installment to the story of a young man and his chicken truck. It almost brought a tear to my eye. I can hardly wait for next weeks exciting episode. You are moving right along, thanks.
Hahah glad you enjoyed it Paul!
A craftsman at work-I love it!
You have a doctorate degree in metal working , master of the craft
I appreciate the way you are working on this project. It give a much better idea of how it was done in the day. I just wish I was at your skill level.
I watch you often.
I will admit that I wasn’t sold on this project at the start, but now I am 100% in to the build. I enjoy the tutorial, the music and the intricacies of this build. Nice of you to drop in on the CWM live the other night too. Much success Kyle! 👍💯
Your self deprication belies your amazing talent
I appreciate the tips and the lessons in getting the truck to look like it belongs that way. The driver's side of the roof looks spot on. WOW! I'm looking forward to the next one.
This is my favorite You Tube channel!
always a joy watching an artist at work.
Nothing better than watching a master work his magic.
When you get right down to it, we are all just imperfect circles. I think there's something in that for all of us, don't you? It's coming along splendidly!
I like doing things my own way, I don't think there is a wrong way, as long as you get the desired result.
Another great episode of the Chicken Truck Project, you are inspiring young body men all over the world making difficult work look easy.
Excellent skills,and using 2nd hand material is fine.Most of us have limited resources,so your finishing skills are a God send to learn!
truck looks great, nice work!
Excellent work on that roof panel.
Now this was a great video ... your videos are becoming one of my most anticipated that I watch ... even though you down play your work we know better ... on to the next one ...
You have done a great job I would be proud to do as good as you do.
Cool !🔩🔨🔧🔥🔩🔨🔧🔥🔩🔧🔨🔧
Perfect video if ever you wanted to see how much being Number one looks like. Great build Kyle
Might be a good idea to put some adhesive sheets of sound deadner in the roof before installing the headliner. Heat, cold and noise, it will help to lower all.
I was very skeptical at first about chopping the roof with all the curves. Great job, looks factory. Thanks, your videos are encouraging.
Yup that's the plan if I ever get to that stage!
Another great video Kyle wow it turned out awesome. God bless you
I wish I had no skill like you ! Amazing work as ever.
Excellent...
I wish I had “no skill or talent” thanks for an uplifting presentation.
Awesome attention to the detail work you're doing to bring the shape and contour to that roof. Wow! You're almost to precise the average Joe isn't going to be able to notice all minor stuff. And if someone was to lay a straight edge on your work at a show or something. They should get a straight edge across the forhead. 😊 I don't see you even needing to do a skim coat on the section you did in this video.
Kyle just wanted to thank you for taking us along on your latest journey. I have been to the mountain of sorrow and the view there is simply spectacular. You can Valley of Same in all its glory. And far off in the distance you can gaze upon Grand Central Station in Idiot Town. However to this day, sadly to say, my mountain of shame still exists. But with your your wealth of knowledge, that you are sharing, we can level the mountain of shame, fill the valley of sorrow. As far as Idiot Town, that a different story. Thanks
This is amazing craftsmanship, keep your foot to the metal.
Great video! I really enjoyed your use of the same techniques employed by the original customers, such as Geroge Barris. The roof, literally, is coming together and the chicken truck looks promising. Thank you.
Hey Carter. Great work on the truck. I really enjoy watching you build it. I like the fact that you take the time to explain what you are doing. It's a good idea that you do it your way. It shows that we can do it without fancy tooling. Keep up the great videos and I'll keep supporting your channel. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
I think it is good to try to do it with the "wrong way", because if it doesn't work you can still do it the "right way".
Thank you for teaching such great lessons here.
Looks like some good metal work to me, I worked at GM and saw these files used many times by the dingmen
Kyle, I very much, and I’m sure others do also, enjoy all the different ways and wrong ways things can be done, because all said and done, you can only do the best job you can, with what you have available in tools and experience to use. Thank you for being honest.
Great Video Kyle! The camera angle was great when you were stretching the welds out you could really see the oil canning disappear!
Unusual highly skilled, top talented super performance.
Beautiful work! You are a born teacher!
Love everything about this channel!
Really like what you’re teaching us - ThankYou. The chicken truck is looking really good. If you’re putting more time into it than you initially wanted then it is to all our benefit I want to reassure you. That left glove is rather air conditioned may I say. Take Care Bud.
Dude, it looks way better than just presentable. It looks great. Nice work.
Thanks for another , Brother !
Great video as always! Love to see the kitties. Poe as editing professional and Allan in his Snoopy Sopwith Camel biplane looking for the Red Baron!
