Hey wait a minute … don’t shift any of the responsibility for this train wreck to us. We’re only here because, as the cliché says, we can’t look away!
Kyle is in the acceptance phase of failure. We are all still in disbelief but anger is coming.
Hahaha!
If the forklift restoration doesn't put your channel on the map, more of that truck cab square dancing will definitely do it! Thanks as always.
I love the witticism and dripping sarcasm, it’s amusingly refreshing compared with the out right lies we put up with from our fearless leaders and other people who like to blow smoke up our posteriors .
Keep up the great work !! Hats off to your evil genius, cheers 🎉
I like the classical music soundtrack, not underestimating your audience.
Sarcasm and classical music--it's a winning combination!
The only channel where I let the ads play as a courtesy to a fellow SK resident.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Lol! I havent seen an ad in 10+ years. Have you not heard about adblock??
Speaking of coldwarmotors, Myles has a 60 Pontiac with a good running six that he talks about replacing with a v8. Just a thought. I used to watch those shows with all the forced drama and tool tossing and fake deadlines. Thankfully you and Scott fixed all that
The only CZcams channel where I learn about welding and they play classical music. Please don't change a thing. Also keep showing the cats. We love the cats and keep dancing around the shop too. I liked your dancing
I have my heart and soul invested in this project. I will jump off the roof if you stop now!
I would rather watch this any day over the garbage that's on tv.
One good thing about two feet of snow is you can just pitch large car parts out in the yard and the neighbors don't know till spring.
Haha. My thoughts exactly!
snow climates are dryer. A lot of people think it is damp. but it is dry. That is why it feels so much colder. the air is so thin it goes right though your clothes. My wifes family from Toronto calls it damp cold. I am like NOPE......I was in the Midwest it was 36 degrees Fahrenheit and snowing.....that was damp. All I needed was a sweatshirt didnt even feel cold to me.
I like how the snow outside makes it look like this was filmed in the dead of winter. For the uninitiated, welcome to two days of snow in a Saskatchewan March.
Forklift collab and stovebolt tear down gonna be epic! Custom chicken truck legend just keeps growing. Cheers! 😎👍🛻🏁🏁🐔🐓🥚
Made fast work of that ... now that's a real chopped truck ... another great video Kyle ...
I found it oddly satisfying watching you cut up that frame, when I was a youngster I got run over by a 53 Chevy truck in Michigan where I grew up and had to go through years of rehab. In a small way it was pay back time!
Kyle admirably makes up for "not knowing what he's doing" with a huge amount of skill, dedication and hard work.
I watched this episode at my sons house on a home theater screen... he also has an official sized popcorn machine... I've watched all your shows, and I must say.... this time...the popcorn was excellent. I'm also looking forward to the fork-lift restoration. I'm assuming you will be chopping the top and applying stick-on chrome to the bumpers. As always, I want to compliment Trixy Tripod for her awesome camera work on your channel. Your loyal viewer in a shed....
Watching on a big screen allows one to see the "nuances" of fine metal work and spontaneous combustion!😆
😆😆@@glennnickerson8438
Glad to hear you enjoyed the popcorn. Great news; Canadian Tire just announced they will be sponsoring the forklift build, so I won't even have to pay for all the stick on chrome this time!
Awesome!@@CarterAutoRestyling
@@shedbythetracks haha , I used to hang around Bad Chad before I realized what he’s really like , you have see him putting a tube of hardener in a gallon of mud and shaking it up on his paint shaker 🤣🤣🤣 quality metalwork!
I too use classical music when concealing my colorful language! Well done
I enjoyed watching you use the Chevy wrench (aka BFH) to remove the rear springs. My dad always said "Don't force it, use a bigger hammer!"
"If the use of force does not yield the desired result, more force should be applied".
I live in a dry climate as well. My 37 has a been in bare metal for the firewall and floorboards for a couple of years and no flash rust
I love the video of you working on the old girl
Looking forward to seeing more truck fun.😎✌️👍 cheers
I’ve certainly been surprised a time or two walking back into the garage after late night thrashing.
Usually there’s a pile of beer cans too
You have a way of making the custom car game look so glamorous! Make those lazy kitties lend a hand!
Wish I could see the kitties watch Kyle spinning the cab around in circles.
All set for the next phase! Well done Kyle!!
Yes...breathtaking content!
I was working on a long, smart arse comment but when it comes down to it, I love what you do and I love the music you choose to accompany it. You appreciate those who make space in their day to day routines to watch your output, for me (and probably lots of others) day to day routines are what I use to fill in the spaces between your brilliant postings. Thank you.
I would like to see engine teardown and analysis and I think your Cats need to know about the bad choices you've made.
I enjoy watching a dismantling ! I once disassembled two Willy's trucks and one Jeep wagon to make one Willys truck. Much "fun". Two trips with car trailer to get rid of scrap. People like to criticize when you scrap those old frames and such. Sometimes those old junkers need scraped !! I can't believe that old engine turned ! If that block is savable that will do someone some good .
Hey Kyle, I'm a mechanic by trade who through some flaw in my decision making paradigm, decided to attempt body repair on old junk!😢 Thanks to you and Fitzee I've been able to make some progress!😊 Because I somewhat know what I'm doing I always start on the chassis and drive line. Once I have a chassis that can move under it's own power I start on the body work. Thanks for the help!😊
It may not be a regular occurrence but man you get in a groove and come out the next day astounded. Like the shoemakers elves.
Thanks to you Kyle!
Keep up the great work, fixing things, educating & entertaining us, much appreciated!!!
great show.
Thanks!
You’re doing GREAT!!!! It’s coming out beautiful!!!!
you gave it the ole college try..some guy's wouldn't get as far as you did..you gained valuable on hands training and a learning as you go along so this was educational and entertaining to boot!! for all watching,enjoy your weekend.
I always recommend disassembly for all my projects. It makes disposal easier and can be done in small amounts weekly in my regular trash can, thereby avoiding dealing with the hassles of listing them for sale and all that goes with that. For fellas like myself who can't seem to stop dragging every pile of crap I find home, my wife finds it an effective way to handle the overflow. You putting yours back together in better shape than what you started with is another approach I hadn't considered.
Haha I like the way you think
Great job looks great 👍 lots of work
My dad told me that my uncle maintained the 37. When I pulled the shackles apart the pins were about 70% gone. They'd never seen grease as had the door checks.
Yeah I think most folks forgot to grease them!
You had me going with the first couple minutes of the video. In my head I was screaming "NNNNOOOOO". Then you calmed me down with your just kidding. As usual, another great video. Can't wait to see more on the chicken truck. Going to be nice seeing you do the forklift resto. Watch Cold War Motors too. Have a great week.
Lots of fun , looking good !
DAMN MUNG!! Having dropped my tools a million times I have tried staring at them with hopes that they may levitate back up into the cab. No luck yet. Cheers
You could always hang oily rags on those brackets so when you're welding they'll catch on fire to remind you not to bang your shins on them. You're welcome.
❤❤❤....Luvv...the commentary...& the. Butchery...😆😆
I think they drove the truck in a bath filled with yellow paint..I laughed when I saw it around the gearbox.
I think instead of raising the roof you should dig a secret underground garage .. Oh wait, that's Furze... Carry on! Should be an epic project
OMG! All that mirth and merryment! Dancing with a truck cab! Now a forklift collab! I have to sit down, my heart is fluttering. Too much excitement!
Down here in sunny South Carolina.... EVERYTHING flash rusts! You are absolutely correct in that they never go back together as easily as they come apart lol. God bless.
I really hope that 6 cyl is a good core. I love diesels and V8's but also love these under appreciated 6 cyl gas engines. They run so smooth, develop very decent torque and actually get great fuel mileage! Would be nice to see installed back in this build in all its glory.
I have a 37 Chev PU and it has a rust free frame. The only rust, other than surface rust on bar metal. The cab had 2 spots of rust where the floor meets the back of the cab. It wasn't rusted through yet, but on it's way.
If you are wanting to lower the rear of truck remove the back spring mounts from the front springs on the junk frame and install them on the back, you will need to drill one hole, it will drop the truck about 2 1/2 inches at no cost.
Great idea! I will save the front spring mounts for that!
Excellent! Thanks Kyle and Scott!
Good job Kyle.
Forklift roadtrip, hell yeaĥ
Great idea to cover the mad, desperate and angry swearing episodes with the ode to joy
You really go to great depths to please the guys at bondo for that sponsorship, what dedication!
Clearly the extensions off the back of the cab are for a walk board. They must have just dipped the entire truck in a vat of yellow paint. Maybe it was an anti-theft procedure. I was planning on picking up my cab with a rack and a cherry picker and rolling the frame out from underneath it but your method looks much more fun. Thank you for the tip. We here at Lazy Hound Racing can't wait for more yellow things being restored and clearly the kids excited are too. When you get a taller garage maybe a lift is in your future? We wish you and yours the best and thank you for your time.
Who needs a lift when I'll have access to a perfectly good forklift!
I can't believe how much snow you still have up there, wow! The cats are pretty cool too! I also took your advice on the Hobart and think it will be an awesome addition to the Tom-foolery around here. Thanks for the inspiration.
fantastic.
Great progress!
Good video Kyle!
The Bad Chad at the end…. Priceless
That was some serious restyling there...
You should have Scott put another rusty old truck on the forklift if he's coming anyway. No need to dead head all the to your house.
Nice work
You have so much room now for activities, you can do aerobics and step class. It's making my head spin! Awesome job! I do miss the delicate, hypnotic sounds of the harpsichord though.
I'd say you got a wee bit of snow outside your door. What no snowman?
It’s a miracle, the Chicken Truck project will proceed.
You must be more North in saskatchewan. I'm in the south east and we have very little snow lol
Great job Kyle, I👍👍🇨🇦
The taper on each end made it easier to remove the shackle plates, thusly aiding to service trans / clutch !
I’m so happy that this truck is coming together
Hi Dean! Thanks for following along on this project. I'll keep picking away at it and hopefully, I can make some good progress this year.
That's one way to save a cylinder fill it to the spark plug. Yes I've done the string valve retained trick works fine.
I liked your QJet video. Your bodywork videos are fun to watch, but so are your mechanical videos. I never knew about the spring shackle bushing you showed us. I would like to see the tear down video on the stovebolt.
It takes courage to just initiate the effort.
I enjoy the work you do.
Kyle get Brent to clean that motor for you with his space age cleaner, 🤔
Today, my one man drum line was getting in the groove and the panel had become, magically, the right shape. I thought of your show and burst out laughing, much to my neighbor's surprise and my own recognition of how inappropriate I was being.
You should do kitty calanders with your cars
My 1962 Willys Pickup had that style leaf spring hanger, with zerks.
The truck is coming along nicely!!!
It will be interesting to see IF the car frame will be close to working.
I cut up my 1989 Ram50 (Mighty Max) for a similar reason. The scale master at the scrap yard asked when he saw it come in on the trailer all torch cut into sections "What Happened to your Truck" Since I am a large original Gone in 60 Seconds fan I promptly replied. "You know those parking lot attendants." That truck died to give another one life. So all was right in the end.
This channel is going to be so Forked. Can't wait!
Keep going it looks like lots of fun
We will look up fork lift guy. As always it's lovely to see Lady Poe and her Suitor Allan.
This epic saga took me almost over the edge with the frame removal under the cab scene, it was a real fingernail chewer. It was nice that you had some cool cat content at the end of the show to calm my nerves. Otherwise I'd most likely have a hard time sleeping tonight. Thanks for another quality update on your life as a very adequate, likely psychotic, customizer of basic transportation contraptions.
I originally came for the metal working content but I stayed for the sarcasm.
come kyle don't give up you got it
Change the fluid in the spark plugs and it should run fine
Looks like Spring can't come soon enough for the cats...or you. Fantastic sawzall action, and a can of MotorMedic will have that engine purring, you even have a standard to judge the purring by!
Wonderful stuff love it cut and grind , and then spliced sounds like fun . How many times can you remake something, about a million sounds realistic . I am I for the end . Great work love the content .
Very good Kyle🤠👍
It's hard to believe drugs were not involved in this project......
I started but never finished a lot projects including restorations when the meth was Breaking Bad bad ass blue quality no seriously it’s was some good shit 😳
Whee ! Merry-go-round
Safety last! 🦾🦾🦾
At least its not at all rusty🤣
Ill bet it feels awesome to meet the sheen distroyers.
❤
Thanks for another great video!!
Thanks!
Thank you Jim!!!
I think your problem at the start was your choice of tool. You chose a "persuader" instead of a good 20 lb sledge. BTW nice snow. I was raking leaves today.
Thanks for another , Brother !
Great video Kyle, you have to build it up so far then tear it apart to start rebuilding it again. That sounds like so much fun probably more fun than watching the snow melt. It will definitely be worth all the effort and hard work when the truck is finished. Later
Now that was fun...😮
🤙🤠👍
Thanks for the video! Yes I'd like to see a teardown of the old motor if possible.
I would give my first born to see Scott drive that forklift from Alberta.
I'm at the point in the archeology where the putty knife goes on vacation and thought how many times I wish I had them idiot strings my grandmother put on my mittens on that putty knife or wrench. Back to the fun!
Haha, idiot strings for tools could be the next million dollar idea!
