Go fund me to help him rebuild gofund.me/d97c...
Today we are back on the Chicken Truck. I'm going to be attempting to tig weld in the door bottom. Then there is lots of hammer and dolly work and I use the proshaper shrinking disk again. Things go horribly sideways and I'm left scrambling to make a recovery

I literally could not continue to watch Brents video after 6-7 minutes because it was obvious in how much agony he was - been following his channel for years. Thanks Kyle for supporting him - you’re a good guy
Yeah that was a hard video to get through
Kyle......I just dropped $50 bucks USD for him at the gofundme site. I hope it helps and hope more people donate. I have so many NOS Ford parts.......I don't know what I would do to replace them if anything happened. Thanks for making videos and the funny stuff in between.
Thanks, that's very kind of you to help him out!
G,day young fella, thanks for supporting our mate, brent ,at half ass kustoms. Hooroo se ya later ❤
Brent could start with a vin tag and a couple months later a finished car would roll out of his shop! Thank you for posting the gofundme!
Yeah it's really inspiring to watch him work!
The poor cats were saying: stop that hammering already. Its flat enough!!! Great job as always.
Haha, oh the cats are safely inside the house where they can't hear the hammering. Loud noises frighten them
Thank you for mentioning HAC. Devastating. All y’all need to check him out. A car persons car person. Thanks.
Yeah he's the real deal! Hope he can get back on his feet again without too much trouble
Brent and Ester are awesome peeps, wish we had more folks like them here in the states. Thanks for the PSA and all that you do, you're an awesome metal worker.
Thanks Peter!
I am so sad for Brent as well. He is a unique talent and a wonderful guy.
Another Great video + also respect for Channel Halfass Customs + losing his shop to fire . Such a major loss in the community
Yeah it's a terrible thing!
Can’t expect to be a 10000 hour expert on a new tool right off the bat - I hear it takes at least a day and half to become proficient
Yeah sounds about right haha
Your kind words for a fellow craftsman and tuber are well meant, and will go along way to all our healing in such a tragic loss in our community. Nothing but time, and a whole lot of self reflection will heal that wound. In my experience, there is very little in the way of " general" public, I prefer to love them all but they gotta stay away. there's already to many around, and there aren't many in the way of general. being a dark and angry sort, 😀😀 it's just best if I care for them at a distance. We are all here way to short of a time, to cause difficulties for others. I prefer to keep to my own misery's and let other to theirs. We all are a ways apart, but not so far we don't share a common goal, cause as ya all know, no one is gonna escape this place alive. Be well. Nice door. 😇
Haha yeah I hear ya! It's best to stay at home and spare everyone from my grumpyness
Kyle your kind words for Brent at Half Ass Customs were well taken and very true. Brent is a very dedicated person and has been an active player in the custom auto industry for over 20 years. I only follow a few people like yourself and Brent. Your work on this video is once again very enjoyable, educational entertaining. Thank You. Rich/NJ USA
Thank you Rich!
Not everyone here are car people - I'm here for more fashion advice.
😅😅
Valid point. I'm here for cat videography and the soothing sound of high-speed planishing.
I'm here for Kyle's philosophical approach to life... Such guidance would require 4 yrs of college courses!😆
@@That70sChannel Ah yes, the soothing sounds of high speed tapping or slapping on metal. Who needs waterfalls and night sounds when you have trouble sleeping.
Thanks for being one of the few people who understand that this is a fashion advice channel.
One of the things i respect the most about you is your honesty about how much time and effort goes into repairs. Not many others tell the unvarnished truth. Thanks for taking the time to explain the process as it really is..
Thanks for taking the time to watch!!!
Yeah, one minute I was watching Brent get closer on the Coupe, next his whole shop burns dow, unreal.
This is going to be the nicest inner door bottom on the North American continent I'm guessing.
Yeah that was so sad to see, but he's got the talent to bring it back again.
Spot on regarding loss in the automotive world. Tools and equipment become a part of ourselves and aren't always something you can just buy another of.
You didn't mess it up. It's better than new! Thanks for your instruction and taking us along!
Thanks for following along!
I've been a fan of his for years.
Yeah he has built a ton of cool stuff!
Brent and his wife are awesome people,thanks for supporting Brent and his channels, Kyle buddy your channel and Brent's channels are at the top of my list👍👍
Thanks Chris, I hope the rebuild goes smoothly for them!
Thanks for bringing up Brent at Half ass , I enjoy both of your channels and that is proof the good guys look after those in need !
Kyle, That was a very kind prelude opening to your channel you did today on behalf of Brent at Half Ass Kustoms. I too mentioned that he'd had a terrible fire on some of the other car restoring shows of CZcams right after he published his episode about the fire. I further mentioned that I'd sent money to help him and perhaps other viewers like myself could chip in to help him get back on his feet? I was stunned by some of the angry and apathetic comments, most notably stating that he most certainly had insurance and if he didn't have insurance he was stupid, so why should they put their hands into their pockets for him? I was saddened to read about the indifference and tried to explain in other comments that when insurance companies deal with vehicles, they take the value of the car when it was new then depreciate it for insurance claim recoveries. So it doesn't matter if a Model "T" for example was made into a hot rod that might be worth $10,000€. When it was new, it sold for $725€ and it's depreciation value today would become $40€ Euro/dollars to the insurance company unless there was a special insurance rider exactly for that car. I urge other commenters to give something to HalfAss Kustom's Go-Fund-Me link, it's easy and even if it's only $10-€-£-or 1340 JPY, it will help him out.
What you said about insurance is very true. Sorry to hear that there were negative people replying to your comments. My experience is that for every person who leaves a bad comment, there are hundreds, if not thousands who will silently do the right thing.
The insurance company(if their feeling real generous) will probably in the end only pay about 40% of the true value of his loss. Don't forget, this man Brent probably built a lot of his own specialty tools, not to mention scrounged parts, gifts etc. ad nauseum. Maybe Brent will get lucky and have a weekend motorhead do the appraisal, someone who 'knows' cars and rods. To the people who are carping about donating, just don't.... and keep your insensitive crap to yourself.
Dude your awsome,True heart felt recognition is a thing i see as the humanity this world lacks.
Thanks
I'm glad to hear that Brent has insurance. I hope he is able to get back on his feet.
I don't know what kind of a deal you have with your insurance company, but as a part timer I can't afford to insure my tools. My building is insured but the insurance company wants 10% of the value of my tools per year as a premium. I'm in my 50's now and if i had paid that premium I would have paid for my tools at least 3 times over.
Omg, 5 minutes into the video I'm like "it's filler time".
But no, Carter hammers, dollies, planishes, untill the the thing is to the microns level! 🤯.
Respect dude! 💪
Haha thanks!
Nice rendition of an old classic. Thank you. I'd much rather listen to that than a shrinking disk.
Haha yeah they aren't very nice to listen to!
Probably the 4th or 5th time watching this video, love every second!
Good that you got the spoon a musical mention. Now you need a version of 'Hello Dolly' and Queen's 'Hammer to Fall'. Oh, and Norman Dandruff's 'Saturday Night Welding with My Bay-beee'.
Haha I'll get right on that!
End result is far superior to factory stamped panel, and rediculously beyond industry acceptable. Bravo!
Thanks for real time hammer and dolly work. The time lapses are great, but I wasn't able to tell how hard you were striking, the sound, etc.
The general public are every where you go here in the USA! You are so lucky to live a way up North in Canada, A? Don't havetah put up with em! Way cool up north too! Hey, pet the cat for me, OK?
The cats say thanks for the pet!
31:42 interesting music! Woo Hoo!
My favorite one-man, automatic planishing 🔨
That inner panel is quite a bit straighter than it ever would have left the factory. You're going to have to do less if you plan on doing concourse quality work. . . 27:22
Thanks Philip! After I finished the video I went back with my ice pick hammer and beat it all down for a more factory appearance
Music! With harpsichord no less- I was happy you were able to find something reasonably manic to go along with the extreme time lapse
Thanks, I'm trying to make the harpsichord popular again.
@@CarterAutoRestyling you’ve always liked a challenge
Definitely feel for him. He is very talented.
Yes it's a huge loss!
There we go
That is a very nice repair. Quite impressive how much effort you put in to each video. I can only imagine how much extra time it takes to stop and explain all this.
Thank you, filming/editing does add quite a bit of time to the repair!
Thanks for working on the chicken truck again!
Thanks for watching another chicken truck video!
I'm impressed that you found a buyer for the last remaining bit of your soul and included music in your video. A lot of people don't understand or respect that the way I can. Also... I've never met anyone who could cause me more work on any given day than I can cause myself... so I feel your pain.. but you save it in the end. Cheers from the shed
Hey Randahl. The lesson here is, don't start playing around with youtubes copyright free music library at 2am...bad things happen!
Nice intro Kyle! I think a lot of your subscribers and a lot of his subscribers bounce back and forth between both channels. Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but You Tube channels North of the Border are a lot more enjoyable to follow. I think Brent and Esther are going to be blown away by the generosity of the You Tube community--it's just a matter of getting this ordeal behind them...
Yeah I wish them all the best and a speedy rebuild
It's sad to see that happen to them, like you said their both great people and it's a huge loss.
Yeah hope the rebuild goes well for them!
What's this ! Real music and not a suggestion 🤑. You have real talent Kyle, sure is a skill and a half you have and we thank you for your patience and perseverance to teach us what is possible. I get to a point and then I'm afraid to go any further in fear of the over stretch. This shows I'm still to tight. Thanks once again. I have bought a shirt from Brents merch store. I figure money is great but advertising awareness is good too.
Thanks for supporting Brent! I think it's usually better to air on the side of caution than overwork the panel in the pursuit of perfection! I honestly didn't think I could save this one!
By the light of the silvery moon I see you are using the large Milwaukee marker with your shrinking disc. Stanford stamp pad refill ink black or blue would be a cheaper option.
Thanks for the tip, I'm going to have to remember to find some the next time I go to the store
When the man says it’s done it’s truly done.
That was some kind words for Brent, hopefully the Gofundme will go well and the Insurance Company acts quick so he can get another building up, good job on the door.
Yeah I hope everything goes smoothly for them!
There's two ways to learn;
How to do it correctly, or how not to do it.
Both are valuable lessons!
Very true!
that's the only flat spot on the whole door you are teaching good stuff keep it up
Thanks!
Thanks for another , Brother !!
That looks beautiful. The door is alive again.
Great work Kyle. And I'm really digging the new soundtrack!!
Glad you enjoy it!
I love your oldschool approach with hand tools and metal moving not filling.. Great job..
Thank you!
You the man thanks for the videos
The tool holding the tools 😂
Panel fixing, shrinking disc usage, piano music AND guitar music all in one vide...AWESOME!!
You might screw something up, but you have the skill and experience to fix it. When I screw something up, I'm stuck, because I don't know how to fix it.
Thanks John! Learning to fix my screw ups took a lot of trial and error!
Good on you. For. Keeping. Us. Informed. Best. Wishes. Thanks
Thank you for letting us learn along with you.
Thanks for watching me learn!
Awesome job and the piano music is nice.
Thanks, Kyle! More great tips. I'm betting I'm a waaaay bigger tool than you are.
Haha I don't know, I goof up pretty bad on a regular basis!
I follow Brent’s channel as well and can totally understand what he’s going through. Took me several years to get back/ having the desire, to get into another 70 super bee tribute ( came around a year ago). I think he’s pretty much going to move forward the best he can and is still motivated to wrench on. It’s very hard to replace all you loose , I know 1st hand. My mistake was I didn’t yet insure my 90% completed car which absolutely crushed me. I’m going to make it a point to donate to his cause ❤
Sorry to hear about your Super Bee! Very kind of you to help out Brent
Awesome work. That repair looks to be invisible without any filler at all.
Thank you!
It was nice that the philharmonic stopped by to play for you after the way they treated you over the whole triangle incident. Thanks for explaining how all this stuff works. The silver bullet tool is in that "somewhere" place. If you ever find it let me know. I have a lot of stuff there. Thank you for your time.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but things only re-appear from the "somewhere" place after you go out and buy a replacement.
@@CarterAutoRestyling I thought it was just me.
Well done again sir! Please pass on my compliments to the music director as well. I've enjoyed watching and hearing your take on the shrinking disc. I never was a big fan, but to be honest, I think some of my bias came from the hubris attitude back in the day of the guy who initially brought them to market. I realize one has nothing to do with the other, but we're all human I suppose.
Glad to see your musical director is back out of the Bangladeshi prison, or wherever you said he was sent so long ago. On a serious note great work and well said on Brent and Esther.
Thanks Russ!
It may have been an ordeal to you, but I see an invisible repair - well done! Nice appeal on behalf of your fellow CZcamsrs, too.
Thanks Rick!
You set a lot of fires in your shop. Please be careful.
Kyle, you are an inspiration! I'm half tempted to pick up a hammer...
Never mind; that looks like a lot of work.
Hahaha yeah, once you pick up a hammer it's hard to stop
Just dropping a note in praise per poulet pickup panel planishing presented perfectly.👍
I fully support all you guys and I am very grateful to you and Scott Newstead in particular for the encouragement he gave me to continue to build a 1954 Packard Patrician straight eight here in the UK 🇬🇧. I have watched Half-assed Customs many times and I have watched at least 20 times the Mercury build. I hope that car survived. Love a 50 or 51 Mercury . I wish I had your skill and my thoughts are with the guy who lost his shop. Very clever guy.
All the best
Nick Jervis UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Nick! Good luck on the Packard build!
Once you get familiar with the disc it'll simply be another piece of the tool arsenal. Glad to see you got the panel to your liking.
Interesting choice of music.
that's so weird ... as i was thinking how many miles of marker ink that was "and getting real sleepy" here came a real toe tapper "by the silvery moon" woke me right up ... but i did loose track of the milage - i'm guessing around 4 miles of ink ... 😆😆😆p.s. that's one happy inner door resurrected from cancer ... looks like i;m going to have to buy shrinking disc's from wray 😁
Yeah they are a handy tool. Sorry for catching you off guard with the music!
I enjoyed your video, good lesson learned. Healthy humility can be an asset at times. Thank you for your kind words as well. I was about to make a joke around your smoking jacket going walkabout to someone else's shop but I...oh damn...damn.
A bolt in the tip of the stud gun has become my new favorite quick shrink/puller tool!!!
...after getting sick of mig'n reused copper nails~
push or pull, twist right to release...
Right on!
Brent built his own Plasma Table! That’s unimaginable knowledge and skill he has.
Yeah that was an amazing piece of equipment that he built!
Seeing Brent's video really shocked me, I hope he gets it sorted and a proper response from the insurance company because to re-build something like that workshop is going to take a mega effort. As for this door I have never seen anyone bother so much with a door interior panel. Not that its a bad thing. Your work is perfection in my eyes.
Haha yeah that door inner probably wasn't a good use of my time. Oh well!
@Carter Auto Restyling I really enjoyed this video and your honesty about the struggles figuring out a new process. If I understood your discussion you took three times as long trying different process but we got to learn along with you so a win for viewers. Curious do you think the shrink amount is equivalent using water to cool versus without? Seems the water method would get more ?
Thanks for posting.
Excellent work and another nice tutorial!
Thank you!
Because of your kind words and support for Brent I subbed here.
Thank you, he's a good guy!
It really sucks what happened to his shop and I follow him also.
Thanks for following him! Hope for a speedy rebuild!
So you caved on the music.
The door looks great, I am stretching a 36 truck cab and can't make my seams look as good. I am using a mig. I even bought a pair of glasses like yours. But Dam!
Yeah, the thing with mig is it's better to leave the seam a bit low. The harder weld material will ghost through the paint. Nothing wrong with 1/16 or 1/8" of filler on a panel
That is the most honest tool review on these disks. Of course being a total novice, I thought this was the miracle tool, but I realize I have a lot more to learn more on metal physics. To be honest, give me hammer, and everything looks like a nail. But I do try, on dolly hammer, off dolly, listening to different sound. Fear of stretching. I try to absorb everything from you, Cold War Motors, Halfass Kustoms. And several more. But honestly, you can buy all the high dollar kits, if you don't know how metal reacts, your just making it worse.
True! The fancy tools just do a faster job of making a mess if they are in the wrong hands!
I have found by watching you go to a high standard this raises my standard. I'm still shit, but a bit better than I would have been.
Thank you.
That's great to hear!
Just because Brent has insurance means nothing... they'll try pay for nothing as expected
Oh my piano , violin and I heard some cymbals, the black marker improved the tone a great deal 😉
Never have seen such great results in metal in such a short time. You’re amazing and love the humor too!
Thank you!
Top das galáxias...disco é bom que aquece a lata e da pra encolher muito bom 😮😮
thanks for uploading another great video Kyle. your review of the shrinking disc was also very valuable, especially the comment about using water to cool the panel verses allowing things to cool naturally. thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching this stuff!!!
Has always liked and shared. All my very best. Sad about Halfass custom's shop. Did what I could.
Thanks for helping out!
The finished product was awesome
Thanks!
Your comments to help Brent where touching and kind it is nice to see in some places a barn raising kind of help that he needs the information on the panel I found helpful and I'm dancing by the light of the silvery moon thanks 😊
Yeah it's great to see the youtube community come together to help out!
Good explanation of the trials and tribulations of body work and thanks for the music 🎉
Turned out great Kyle
Thanks!
Beautiful job as always and that background music.....😍
🏆🤩🤝 wow 🎉
We loved the music in this video. So refreshingly good.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
By the light of the silver moon! Awsome!
Unbelievable amount of work, but, excellent, excellent results……time is an issue,but, to achieve results like this your going to stretch the clock all the way out. Great job! Thanks for teaching !
Thank you!
I can see first place at the Interior Door Panel Nationals ... makin it look easy again ... another informative video to help the novice ... cool ...
Haha that's the goal!
It's really funny to metal finish a weld on a door that looks like something kids would shoot with a .22 for an afternoon fun time. :D
Hahaha yeah, definitely not a great use of my time!
I think I saw your hair grow in this video. Great job explaining your inconsistencies! Helps out when it happens to us.
That looks awesome! It looks better than factory finished metal. Thank you.
Wow! It's s good thing you don't have OCD! Beautiful work as usual...
