    The team work made a substantial difference. Watching the metal moving back into shape and get smoother was really encouraging, I can only imagine how much better Brent feels.

    Karl still so happy to rewatch what you and Brent did to straighten the 35 out. Don’t think a thing could had made him happier. This was a lot of work on his part. Yes his project when the fire happened. Your a super young man to do all the things that I think has got him back to some normality. God Bless you Karl. It won’t be forgotten! 💯👊👍❤️

    I really have to love and respect Brent's positive attitude. He lost so much and yet he still had a great attitude and he looks at the positive. Karl, it's fantastic that he has a friend like you to assist with the rebuild here. Great job sir!!!! And Brent? You keep up the fantastic builds too sir!!! We are all watching and rooting for ya!

    Man, it's got to be really hard going back to a project like that. So much time and effort just to have to start all over again. Takes a lot of spirit to not just move on. Brent seems to have such a positive attitude not letting this get him too down.

    Very cool of you to help Brent. You two got most of the dents out, and reshaped to about what is was. I wish I had you two's skills at body work. Keep up the good videos.

    • @snoopu2601
      @snoopu2601 Před rokem +1

      When I was a young boy right out of high school my friend and I open up a body shop. I didn't know anything about body work but replacing parts. Then when I got into fixing dents I amazed myself. Just kept on working with metal to try and get it as straight as possible then lay the mud down and sand block sand block came out better than factory. The painter gets all the credit not the guy that spent many many hours working the metal and body filler work.
      Never dought yourself you put your mind and work to it you will be able to pull off most anything.👍🏽

    @calysagora3615 Před rokem

    This is absolute top tier level restoration skills. Impressive!
    What strikes me is that wherever there was lots of deformation, where things collapsed and deformed under it's own weight, gives a perfect indication about where to add support structures to the body for a stiffer, stronger, better handling and safer car.

  • @wesleypulkka7447

    Here it is mid night, I should have been counting sheep about an hour ago instead I have been counting dents disappearing. Awesome job to you both and super amazing of you Karl making the trip out to the flat land to bring tools and lend your very talented hands. I think this out of everything was a real low for Brent and having you come and work along side with him gave the needed lift to allow the Phoenix to rise up from the ashes.

    Hi Karl, I enjoyed this collaboration. Getting the steampunk Phoenix back is what I have been waiting for. I have been watching that build from the beginning. This vid shows how effective your planishing hammer is. This also provide us with a changed perspective of what is salvageable when looking at wrecks. Keep in mind I haven’t done any of this kind of work. It’s a great vid. Thanks for sharing.

    You guys are awesome! Don't worry Brent for being called Bret, if it makes you feel better I get called Brent instead of Bret many times .I'm sure you are used to it as I.Glad to see firework .I've often wondered if there is no salvage on a fire car or truck not knowing what the heat has done. I've seen many and have stayed away ,now I know it's possible. Thanks for your share of knowledge! It's like we owe you now! Thanks again!!!!

  • @sallybrokaw6124
    @sallybrokaw6124 Před rokem

    Metal that has gone through a fire looses it's "tension". So a lot of metal shaping has to be done to move those bulges and ripples out. Reduced tension is a bugger because the metal has less springback so it is easy to go to far and end up with "stretched "metal. Enjoyed the videos of you helping out Brent. Way cool! AL B.

  • @keithmason9342
    @keithmason9342 Před rokem +1

    Hey Karl, watching this work from your point of view is just as much fun the second time. I love to watch you and Brent working together on a project vehicle. Friendship is a powerful thing. Together you bend steel with your hands (and a few tools) to reverse the damage from the fire. Frankly I didn't know if it could be repaired, but you made a believer of me. Thanks and we'll see you next time.

  • @ghostma13
    @ghostma13 Před rokem

    This is the good part about it and everything else that got burnt being metal,most of it can be reworked and shaped back to usable, only parts I would have any issues with reusing would be suspension parts being weakened or brittle by the heat, but glad to see you guys keeping it and fixing it instead of scraping it all like a lot of people would do.

  • @michaelanderson3771
    @michaelanderson3771 Před rokem

    Great recovery there Brent and Karl.
    You have given me a new appreciation of working on a fire damaged car instead of just scrapping the shell.
    I won't look at a burn car the same again.
    Q - if the steel is hard - would annealing it help to restore the workability??

  • @garyelkhorn2116
    @garyelkhorn2116 Před 11 měsíci

    Great work on that hopeless warped and softened metal. I have grafted a burned 36 Ford sedan floor to a rotted 36 Ford Cabriolet. That floor was soft on the part of the quarters at 8" above the quarters where I sectioned the burned sedan quarters to the non rotted Cabriolet. That's when I then found that the sedan quarters needed to be tilted in to meet the Cabriolet where I then hammer welded with a oxyacetylene torch as I did on the whole car. I did make some error because of the cabriolet cowl section being separated from the rear and floor of the sedan which should have been in a jig to force the back inner floor and secure it to the rear crossmember. The entire trunk opening was rotted around the channel which caused it to distort while I kept the door openings aligned.
