- In this video I'll build a new wheel lip to replace the badly damaged one on a 1953 Chevy Truck rear fender. Then I will tig weld the patch in, warp it badly and then fix the warpage using basic hand tools

One of the best things about your videos are the detailed explanations about how you use your skills, your tools and why. Great content Kyle !
Thanks Ronald!
Excellent repair and good humor! Carter Auto Restyling and CWM on the same day what a treat!!
Thanks Kenny!
You’re way too humble. Your repair looks amazing, great job!
Most geniuses are!😶
Thanks, it's far from perfect and perfect from afar
Fantastic work Kyle. Your ability to educate as well as entertain is really appreciated.
Thanks Russ!
I enjoy your humor, It amazes me what you do with the thrashed metal you work on. Carry on and cheers.
Thanks!
Glorpy! My new favorite word. I knew exactly what you meant but still had to look it up. It's a magic trick, makes sense because you have performed amazing feats on beat-up crunchy relics. Stay wizardy!
Glad I could help add a new word to your vocabulary!
well done for not click baiting this. love your no bs content.
I had a hard time resisting the temptation to click bait haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling a great comedian/entertainer never underestimates their audience.
Really enjoyed watching your videos. Very educational for me and I love the sarcasm.
Glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!
This is a high class channel. You with your smoking jacket and all.
We try! Haha
Thanks to Mitt, Joseph and Mary! Your support is greatly appreciated. You are inspiring Kyle, I learn from alot of your videos.
It took me a while to stop laughing so I could watch the rest of the video. You are a great craftsman. Thank you for the info. and the laugh. Cheers!
Glad you got a laugh out of this nonsense haha
You are the master of pyro techniques! I too have shop clothes that have been authenticated by fire caused by grinders and welders. The plus side is I don't have to go shopping with my wife when I am wearing these clothes which means more time in the shop.
Outstanding metal repair.
Thank you!
LOL, I was going to mention your jacket, but, I fully get it, it must be very comfortable....without the open flames. When I worked as a mechanic, I would wear stuff until only 50% was left of it. I found you had multiple exits, like if you had to visit the WC right in the middle of a crucial moment. Also my dad used to say there are 2 ways to do something, "Your way and the right way"
Haha I like the concept of having multiple exits!
Your awesome. That was so cool of you. Thank you. I need to do this exact repair on the same fender. I even have the same shitty weld on mine. I was going around a parked car and hooked the rear fender on the front bumper of the parked car back in about 1982. I had to check my truck to make sure it was still there. So now I know how to do it in less than 1/2 hour. I feel silly putting it off now. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for supporting the show, best of luck to you on the repair!
Oscar got excited, so repeat, repeat, repeat, over & over. Good to see Allen and Poe.
Several years ago, I purchased a 1933 Pierce Arrow, chauffeur driven limousine with the glass divider window with twin sidemount fenders. Extremely low mileage car, but having been improperly parked for all of it's life in the Chicago area, it was badly rusted on the lower 12" all the way around. I chickened out and sold it. If I could relocate that car, I would put it on a long trailer, bring it to you and hire you to rebuild it.
The last that I heard, it was South of you on the US side.
Those long V-12 limousines are hard to come by.
Glad it got Oscar's attention. That Pierce Arrow would be an incredible car!
Great job on the fender. Its great to see you saving these older vehicles.
Thanks, got to save as many as I can!
Fire-fire, CPO on fire! You're fire-sale humor is a kicker. Roll out the fire!
Always room for humor in the workshop haha
Oh the awesomeness!!
Metalworking channels come and go, but not one of them can hold a candle (sorry, lighter) to your pyrotechnical jacket and tool repair tutorials.
Hooray for 27 minutes that kept me away from today’s torture, stripping and epoxy priming my 89 OBS Shortbox..
Keep up the good work!!
Cheers from Joe in Montreal
Thanks Joe! Those obs trucks are considered collectible now, so your efforts won't be in vain!
Very rarely does a person run into a video that addresses EXACTLY what he's trying to do. In restoring my two '48 Ford trucks, you're hitting on the very things that I'm up against. Most helpful.
I'm so glad you find these videos helpful! I'm a big fan of the 48-52 Ford trucks.
Nice to see that you invested some of your more-rusty-trucks budget on some Hobo Freight metalworking equipment.
Nahh I bought all my cheap tools before I had the freedom to buy unlimited projects
Better take at easy on that jacket or you won't have much to give away.....amazing repair again as usual...you are good at what you do....only problem with your videos is that they go by too fast...great content again... keep em commin.....
The giveaway jacket is still safely tucked away, this one was its replacement
Thanks Joseph and Mary. The basset hounds have very ecclesiastical names.😀
Indeed! Very kind of them to help out the channel!
Another great video Kyle. I noticed when you use the body hammer, you extend your index finger on the back side of the handle. That's the way I was told and you have more control over the hammer. Great job as always.
Thanks, it's funny I never noticed I held the hammer like that until I started recording videos, but it does help with accuracy
Once again, well done. I'm one of those geeks that like to watch good metal work. Another thing, you will probably dismiss this, but you are a good instructor. You are good at explaining what you're doing, and your self-depricating humor makes it more enjoyable. Not always the easiest thing to do, I know, having tought some body work classes. Keep it up!
Thanks Brian!
Your work within is only exceeded by your dry wit. Love your channel. I am spreading the word.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
You do amazing work I'll watch your channel no matter what you are working on 👍
Thanks Scott!
Well that won't take much time to finish it into a perfect condition, from what I see it just needs primer and paint, another awesome job Kyle 👏
Thanks! Currently getting the fender sculpted out so it definitely needed more than primer. As they say, the camera removes 10 pounds of bondo.
@@CarterAutoRestyling like a woman in makeup, what you go to bed with isn't always what you wake up with, that's why I insist on the all natural things in life, let the world see your damage and have nothing to hide, it makes life easier
Id like to see you pick up the rustiest old rig from maybe the 40s and bring it up from the brink.im sure you'd do a great job on saving it.
Well if you want to pay my bills for the next 8 months we can certainly make that happen haha
I will put your safety instructions to work right away, glad I watched this so I know how to fix my jacket👍
Glad you were able to learn something useful!
One day I hope to be that well off that I can set a perfectly good jacket on fire. Oh how the other half live. 🤣
It's not easy being independently wealthy, but someone's got to do it!
Thanks for keeping us busy between CZcams commercials.
Once again the man with the plan when it comes to perfect metal work, keep up the great work.
Thanks Henry!
Get your oilcan out and squirt the clevises on your shrinker/stretcher. I can see the holes getting more oval by the minute. Thank you for the subtle tribute to my contribution to the success of your channel. The weld in the form of an anagram of my initials is much appreciated.
After 11 years of abuse the clevis holes are still round, but you're welcome to come oil them if it concerns you that much haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling : You may need to have a word with your immigration people about my coming over, as I haven't been 'fuel injected'. They probably won't allow me to bring liquid on the plane either so I'll also need to borrow your oil. Thanks for the invite but, all in all, it'll be easier if I skip it. For now! :-)
Always a pleasure Kyle. Watching you work is soooooo much easier than doing my own. God bless.
FJB
Thanks Paul, it's definitely easier watching other people work haha!
I enjoyed the safety moment. Your work is excellent.
i enjoy your to the point videos along with excellent instruction! In other news, that playful twist-tie the felines had looked like it could use some hammer and dolly work.
Thanks! Currently doing a full restoration on the twist tie
Watching a master craftsmen makes me believe I can do the same repairs. Probably not as good but good enough for me. Thanks
Thanks Darrell! I hope these videos help you on whatever project or projects you are working on!
another fine video, thank you for teaching me the tricks of the trade.
Thanks for watching!
Kyle you are absolutely amazing! I believe you were born to make impossible repairs on cars and trucks! One thing I wish you would do if you would tell what vehicle you're working on. It's really not essential but I think it would be very interesting!
Thanks Mike, these fenders are going on a friends 1953 Chevy truck
Nice job on the fender repair. Have you done much hail dent repair? I purchased an older truck with a hail damaged hood, which I'm going to attempt to fix. I think that I need to purchase a stud gun, and a gallon of bondo. I intend to apply the Saskatchewan off dolly technique, and maybe the Alberta tree stump finish. Wish me luck. John
Yeah, hail and golf ball dings or even ball hammer dings would be of wide interest to many I reckon. Small dings take so much value off vehicles bought cheap to use or resell.
Back in the day they would use dry ice. It was so cold the rapid shock to the metal would pop it right out! Got to be careful handling though.
I have a video called fixing dents with fire. That's the technique I used for fixing hail dents when I did collision. Might want to get some practice in before tackling the hood though
Great Job well done Mr. Carter. Your a professional in your ability to show us how to work the metal the right way, Thank you my friend.
Thanks for the kind words!
Wish you would completely restore the 53, I really like this channel because you communicate with your viewers. Others could care less.
Thanks, I try to reply to as many comments as I can. I actually sold the red 53, these fenders belong to a friend who has been building another 53 from the ground up for several years.
Very entertaining and informative. That fender repair is spot on.
Thanks!
You perform metal magic my compliments from Virginia Beach Virginia.
You most definitely do a very professional job! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship.
Thank you!
Nice! Making it look easy!
Thanks!
Men who do this kind of genius metalwork and those who do perfect breast implants have something in common.
Haha
Nice work. Enjoy your ability to coax the metal to a finished shape with the most basic of tools. Something I and many others can relate too. Your tig welding is spot on and compliments the panels perfectly. I looked at your 40 Ford fender repairs and subscribed after watching those. Quietly learning some new methods looking over your shoulders. I once was running a large boiler repair that had the best weld boiler makers out of Winnipeg on the job. There were a half dozen boilermaker welder apprentices that were being addressed by their supervisor. He said to stay quiet, watch the best and steal with their eyes. Pretty quiet here and watching. Thanks again for taking the time to show your methods and craftsmanship.
Meant to say the best boilermaker welders.
Hi Glenn, thanks for the kind words and for subscribing to the show!
Awesome work Sir. Thank You
Thanks!
another bite the dusk coat hahahahha i love watching you doing feeders you better most body shops keep going and have fun doing it
Thanks, the coat is still mint!
Brilliant repairs. If they are not show quality repairs I reckon they are 99.99% show quality.
Thanks, more like 54.2% quality
@@CarterAutoRestyling your too hard on yourself
Great video. Showed me how I can possibly save some old fenders that I have. Thanks for sharing with us!
Glad you found it helpful!
thats a kookaburra stamp to you kyle another top job.... i have no problem suffering through your video's,not only are your clips easy to watch but your explanation is simple and direct making it easy to understand the principles involved......
if only i had learnt tig welding when i was younger (too old now) would have been helpful but i will stay with my mig,sorta know what i am doing with it......more power to you
cheers joe
Thanks Joe! Migs do work really good for doing bodywork.
Hi Kyle,
Bendy thing. Glorpy.
I come here for the technical talk yet also get fire safety info... and cats! What a deal.
Good grief. Now someone is suggesting that you should clean up your shop. I tell people if you want my shop cleaner.. here's a broom. Maybe you want less potholes in my driveway... bring some gravel next time. Or you could hush. Or just don't come at all! Actually I gave a guy those choices 30 years ago. Haven't seen him since. Heartbroken.
And thanks to Mick, Joseph and Mary at Lazy Hound Racing for contributing to the madness. ;)
Great job on the metalwork, as usual.
Personally I only ever give the last option, it saves a ton of hassle!
Agreed. 100%.
Oh. I found that number I was talking about. If you are interested, let me know.
@@Joe.Doucette Ok, send me an email hotroddedgmc@hotmail.com
I really appreciate your videos. It has motivated me to go screw up my own car with incorrect techniques. 😂
I am even working on making my own buffalo torch shirt.
Nice job , great to see a young man with talent!
Thanks James!
The arid sarcasm is awesome. I watch this for the humour as much as the content, but both are worth the time!
Haha thanks for watching!
Never realized a wheeling machine was flammable😲
Pre-shredded jeans are all the rage lately. You should offer pre-grinder destroyed clothing in the e-store you probably don't have.
Then I could tell my wife it's not my fault, I bought it that way 🤣
Haha sounds like an excellent money making scheme!
That fixed the jacket. It's as good as new.
Haha it sure is! Thanks for looking out for me.
Another great video! Keep those fenders coming!
Plenty of fender action to come!
Congratulations on 8k subs! You’ve earned it and I’m proud of you, brother! Loved the video and humor as always. I always look forward to seeing what off the wall project you work on next.
Thanks Alex!
that is real nice at 11:42, Proper Job as they say in Somerset. Aye and by 12:43 when you introduce more clampage, am learning a new trick! leads me to believe that you may be one of CWM "secret agents" : )
I do have an agent number, but I lost my identification card haha
Cool trick on bending the fender lip inwards. Thanks
once again, i thoroughly enjoyed watching you do everything wrong.
Thanks for letting me waste your time
As a neighbor to the west I really enjoyed your Saskatchewan joke. Nice work and thanks for muting grinding noises.
Thanks, glad you got the lame Saskatchewan joke haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling no need to be so self deprecating you've got talent and humor.
Great content as always .Lots of good info . Your dry humour is entertaining as well ! Look forward to the next video as always .
Thanks for watching!
I suspect that the way that you have acquired these worthy skills is due to the masterful supervision, inspiration and tutoring by the fur ball felines who hover nearby. :)
Your suspicions are correct!
Awesome shop safety video! OSHA would be proud of you! (Except you live in Canada)
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Haha they call it OHS here in Canada
You don't give yourself enough credit, your repairs are awesome.I think that crappie fender looks brand new now.
Thank you!
"Offshore garbage break . . . " it's the master more than the tool!
Haha I guess so!
Nice work Kyle
Thanks Keith!
I'm envious of your work you are a master, I look forward to all your videos I learn so much thanks.
Thanks John!
Another good video. Thanks Kyle.
Thanks Randy!
Hahaha! Random cat at 20:00 😀😀😀
Nice work I thought, even though you kept saying it was the wrong way. Very satisfying to watch.
I’m learning metal work and oxy/acetylene brazing/welding for restoring antique Coleman cook stoves and lanterns.
Just a diy fix. I burnt a big hole in my welding coat and I overlap some duck tape and put it on the inside and put more on the outside stuck to the inside. Worked good for grinding witch is how I got the hole in the first place. Hope this helps. LOL 😆
Thanks, I appreciate the jacket restoration tips!
@@CarterAutoRestyling yeah I used that way for over a year till I had to take my welding test, they didn't like it. Had throw it away, but I got a new one out of the deal.
I am constantly surprised by how simple you make it look. Your tip and tricks are so helpful. I’m slowly starting some basic metal bashing on a old VW at least I’ve avoided a few total FUp’s thanks to you.
Thanks Mike! Good luck with the vw project!
Nice work, you're nearly starting to make me miss it.
Haha I must be doing something wrong if I'm actually making people miss doing this stuff!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I said nearly lol..
Awesome job
Making something from nothing! Great work.
Thanks Robert!
You make It look so easy !!
Fun watching ya… and witty too… great lesson… thanks!
Thanks for watching!
You inspire me.
That could be dangerous!
Great repair!!
Thank you!
Another fine job Sir! Got to make myself one of those bending tools
Thanks! It's a handy tool
love your work and love your cats! Bravo!
Thank you!
Very good demo and explanation thanks from Idaho.
Thanks for watching!
Well done sir!
You are a wizard with metal so keep it up
I am glad that you are teaching me to do what you do because it works great.
Keep them coming
I'm glad to hear your finding these videos useful! Thanks for watching!
Excellent job mate👍🏻🇦🇺
Thank you!
Good as new!
Really good instructional video thanks for your time. I’ll be happy for you when you can get a planishing hammer.
Thanks, I'll be happy too when that happens! (And so will all my junk body panels)
Another very nice fix.
Thank you!
Great job Kyle
Thanks!
I really enjoy all of your videos. I'm so glad i found this channel. Thank you for putting out these videos🎉
Thank you for watching them!
awesome nuff said
As always, Kyle, an excellent video and I don't regret at all the time I spent watching it. Congrats on the sub count. Onwards and upwards! Mart.
Thanks Mart! I appreciate you taking time to watch the show!
Nice repair, glad to see you have fire retardant jacket and fire suppression in the workshop. Do Allen & Poe some extra cat biscuits for their cameo appearance? 👍🏴
I keep them well fed, it's part of their contract for appearing on the show haha
Great work, 👍👍 I do find it strange watching a Left Handed body man though.
A surprising number of us wrong hands are in the trade
Great work once again
Thank you!
