I like how you call the Malibu a "Late Model" Car.

Kyle... never in all my born days would I ever thought I would Learn So Much from Watching Someone Knock Out Dents let alone Finding It Entertaining too!!!

I think that this was one of your best teaching videos. You showed that it takes analysis to understand what you need to do. Read the panel and move cautiously across the panel bringing the damaged areas up or down a little at a time. I have a rear panel like yours but in much worse condition. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the inspiration.

I have watched dozens of Hammer on & off Videos but I have never seen it so well explained. Excellent! Thank You.

Just an outside perspective view, sometimes, more often then not, you tend to fail to realize that you're a teacher and a leader in autobody repair and restoration. Yes we understand that you still have a long ways to go to get to where you want to be. Personally, we don't care. As far as we're concerned your like this sheet metal wizard that makes literal magic happen before our eyes as you bang on garbage with various hammers.

The reflection on bare steel was impressive.

Well done young man! How much time would you say you invested in getting that back panel to that point? Myself, I'd much rather spend the time manipulating the metal than I would sculpting bondo!

As Gene Windfield says Every Day is A School day. Been doing this for 50 years and aaam learning from much younger guys on You Tube. Mostly Canadians, Thanks Kyle

dude, you've blown my mind again. thanks for a simple, practical explanation of the basics.

Thanks for the tip on RAC Garage. Carter Auto Restyling and RAC Garage are the best channels on KZread!

He takes the extra effort to make it right . A lot of guys would’ve left that inner panel in . Nice job .

All I have to say, if the viewers didn't learn anything today, it's their own fault. Nice work as always. I'll sit through an hour of classic builds from a knowledgeable source anytime.

Great to see an expert dingling dents.

I know you have done several in depth dent removal videos, but I found this one was very well explained with your drawings. Thanks for another great video!!!

Thanks for the long video!

Holy...There's a picture of Jesus on your rear panel! It's a Christmas miracle.

Oh man, I saw that too! 😅 The value of the truck has just gone way up!

Very good at explaining dent removal and thanks for the tips . You must have worked with an old timer at some point , you are very good at your craft . Thanks for the vid , Hope you and the kittys have a great Christmas ....

Kyle, thanx for the great dent removing tutorial. If you keep practicing, I think you have a future in this line of work.😮

I am working on my 1956 Mercury pick up. The roof was caved in when I got it, no doubt by a Saskatchewan Wildebeest. All my autobody education has come from you. So if I fail it's on your shoulders. LOL

Hey Kyle: This was one of you most educational videos yet! You might include a screenshot of the panel(s) before and after for us dullards out here in KZread land so we can better apperciate your skill .

Thank you for the explanation of how you tackle the dents , I only wish I could bring you my 31 Chevy , but this was helpful and gives me more confidence to try and do it . Enjoy your channel !

Wow!! A ton of work in that rear lower cab panel!! As always you made it look great!! Thanks for the tips!! Even though I have watched the other videos, it was a good refresher course!! Chop away!!

I’m so glad you went back to the old coat. I was getting such anxiety that I almost had to go to my safe space.

Excellent tutorial........thanks.

From banged-up to banged-back! A refresher on dent removal with a special on the shrinking disc. Have a nice Christmas!

Looks like it was loaded with rebar for 70 years, nice work Kyle

Thanks for the detailed dent removal tutorial. Metal shrinking is where I bring out all the cuss words. Might be worth trying a shrinking disc setup.

Certainly a master at work. Fun to watch.

Taking out that inner panel before doing the chop is a great idea.

Thanks! This was a top notch instructional video. I feel as though I attended a super class in basic dent repair! The diagrams of straightening a dent were great! The camera demonstrations made the procedures clear.

Nice job ,people don't realize what it takes time wise to fix a panel! Great video!

Kyle you have taken what we taught you to a whole new level. It is so nice to hear you are employing the “order of repair of a dent” then taking that to “in relation to quality and speed is all dependent on the rough out”! Your expanded roughout methods are now being taught to new students. Great work! Keep it up!

Love the long videos

One of your top 5 all time Kyle. Cheers bro. 🍻

Thank you very much for your time, work and editing showing us how.

Merry Christmas, Kyle ! Thank you for taking the time to go over in depth, of the process. I greatly appreciate it. It never gets old, to see a dented up panel come out so smooth! You have mad skills. Looking forward to the next video.

Excellent commentary on what you are doing, much appreciated & a nice job on that back panel.

Nicely done on El Camino Pollo, Kyle. I think Wray Schelline would agree. I appreciated the body work lesson at the beginning. You're a good teacher.

That was a lot of dents. Holy crap. It was cool watching them all come out. Thanks for the longer video. Merry Christmas and all the best in '24.

Thanks for the tips on slappers and shrinking disc's, although I still haven't a clue as to how a disc's does what it does. It will give me something to do on Christmas Day. The rear panel looks awesome, very impressive. Have a Merry Christmas yourself, make sure the cats get lots of catnip or other organic stuff, wink wink nod nod. Cats are such stoners.

Break out that slapper and have a Merry Christmas. If I were farther north on this western prairie I would drop off some Christmas cheer!

Thanks, Kyle, for sharing your hard won knowledge. This video is the best explanation of how to go about ironing out a lot of damage, in a methodical way, that I've found here on KZread. It's also the first I've found that actually describes an order of operations, instead of just "let's bang out this dent." (UPDATE: Kyle talks about the order of operations at the very top of "How I Fix Dents:The Cheap, Easy Way." two years ago. I watched this at least twice...my parents always said "...you just don't listen..." Sorry, Kyle.) Those kinds of videos are helpful, too, but most of us with garbage cars are dealing with much more than just one dent. I learned a ton...what a nice holiday gift! Thanks, man! All the best to you in the new year.

Was great to stop by the other day and see the progress coming along so far!!!! Can't wait to see the roofline lowered.

He has risen just like the dents.

Patience is key. According to Trevor Hatton your "off" hand is the most sensitive.. Keep banging metal. God bless.

Thanks for the chalk talk on the various techniques for dent removal. It's very helpful. Moving around that back panel reminds me of a Whack-A-Mole toy.

The truck has came so far already can’t wait to see the end result.. keep up the great work!!!!

Kyle thanks for your patience and a great video as always😊😊😊😊

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you Kyle.

There ha to be an immense sense of satisfaction being able to take a beat up rear panel like that and turn it into a usable piece . I always admire your skills and appreciate your detailed explanations of how and why you do things. Keep up he good work and look forward to seeing how the truck progresses.

Thank you for your videos where you continually show us the process as well as the addition of your detailed explanations of the ordering of the steps that should be taken. My '37 Chevy P.U. cab has benefited greatly.

Very interesting to watch, Kyle. Thanks for explaining the physics behind the techniques. Merry Christmas to you and all the best for the new year! Mart.

Merry Christmas my friend. To the cats too.

I enjoy watching you turn rusty, crappy trucks that would be left for scrap and work your patient metal skills on them. The results are tremendous. Looking forward to seeing the next one. Hope you are having a Happy Holidays.

What a transformation, brilliant craftsmanship, and thanks for the great explanation of the process 👍

Kyle You are the master body man that I have started to use when I judge how bodywork is being done. I think that Santa will make a stop at your shop because you have gave a lot of joy to us You tubers Wish you a Merry Christmas, keep on giving us these videos this coming year.

Another great video with great content ... on to the next one chop chop ... have a great Christmas ...

"Boom Boom Boom! That's gonna be SWEET!!" 😂 I hope you put some bags under it so you can slam it down when you park! Merry Christmas Kyle, Edgar, Allan, and Poe!

Watching you drill out all those spot welds kinda vindicates me drilling out hundreds of spot welds on my ‘58 Pontiac in an effort to gain access to get rust out from factory seams, and of course to knock dents out. Still got to weld the hood back together, been chasing a high spot in the front of the hood for a long time, and am getting tempted to cut it out and patch it. Very frustrating endeavour, and have many more spots to drill as i work my way to the rear quarters and trunk.

As someone whose only approach to fixing dents was to whack them as hard as possible with a five pound hammer, I find this pretty fascinating. It’s just unfortunate that some City Slicker in a fancy ass coat had to show it to me.

Merry Christmas, Kyle. Hope you’re enjoying the astonishingly good “winter” weather we’re enjoying here along the flood plain of the South Saskatchewan River.

I'll have to say I NEEDED that video!!! I consider that to be an important tool I will refer to in the future. I noticed that you seem (a little) to be left-handed, but you are actually able to work with both hands. I know there's a word for that, but I just don't like it. I know there's a word you don't like, too - it's "can't". And you certainly can. Anyways, you should be proud to work that way. I've been practicing for many years, and can usually work with either hand, but not as good when striking with a hammer or using a baseball bat. I can't wait to get started on my project car, but I'm building a workshop now, and my parents require my help very often. You certainly deserve to be proud of your results!

Someone please send this boy a new jacket for Christmas.

Nice work Kyle. Usually it will take me one cup of tea to make it through a video, but this time I needed two. I see that you put up the Carter Christmas tree. Have a Merry Christmas.

Thank you Kyle, for explaining dent repair methods and showing us the basics of dent repair. Enjoy watching your videos!

Dig the face in the panel at 44:28 Merry Christmas too!

That must have been a long day for you I definitely will have too work on being patient thanks 😊

Another nicely done tutorial. No apologies needed for your longer videos. Merry Christmas Kyle 🎁

Love the work. learning a lot from your tutorial anyway have a merry Christmas and a new years.

Great autobody teaching.have a nice holiday..peace....

THAT'S a lot of dents/dings!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!!!

i love how you show us morons what too do to save money for other things to spend on. you master sculptor of steel you take pride in your work.

Merry Christmas, Kyle. Great lesson today, learned lots, thank you for that

Thank you for this video, it was very informative.

Top class demonstration, as usual. Best wishes for Christmas and for 2024.

Sheetmetal has a memory... The slapper and dollies are just reminding it of where it's supposed to be.

Well that was another fine, crackerjack video chock full of insightful commentary and tips for us aspiring hair stylists. Thank you very much. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and the cats !!!!

Channelling my inner Arnie Cunningham- "OK, show me!"

Excellent video. Definitely one of the best how-to's on dent removal. Glad you showed how the oil can was gone too, I was starting to wonder, but you didn't leave us hanging. Thanks!

You explained it awesome in which I would never do 😊

Really appreciate your videos and passing your knowledge.

Tip on jacket repairs...I use Tuck tape (blue or red, doesn't matter) to patch up a jacket. It lasts a long time and will keep the danglers out of the way. Don't ruin your good jacket!

Excellent video, good reference to keep. Merry Christmas Kyle!! Hope your kitties get you something nice to show their appreciation!!

Another great video I love the way you explain not only the how to of doing something , but the how and what is happening to the metal when you reshape it how you want it. While I listen to you teaching a lesson I think back to a body man who was an instructor I had for about a year and a half talking in such detail. He used to say you have to know what is going on with what you’re working with before you can make it into anything you need. Later

Amazing transformation of a previously tatty looking panel. Looking forward to seeing how you chop the inside/outside parts and reunite them. Have a great Christmas, Kyle.

Happy Holidays. ❤✌️👍

It maybe the beer I'm drinking but did anyone else notices when he put the marker on the lower part under the window it left an impression of a beerded man on the panel lol. Think I'd better have another beer.merry Christmas everyone.

Good work, nice to watch. 🎉

Hey, Mr. Carter, Merry Christmas from Carlos and Maggie down here in PA, USA.

Hey Kyle, this video is timed perfectly. Just this morning I pulled the RF fender off my 65 f350. All sorts of challenges. Rust holes, severe creased dent and other small dents. I've perfected over working and stretching creating additional work that I'm not qualified to perform. I really have picked up several tips from today's video. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

My old truck has factory repairs, some of those blokes were good inside the panel shows the rough hammer marks outside perfectly straight, many years of training I suppose
