This is going to be the best Chicken Truck on KZread by FAR!

Auto restyling, just like everything else on earth, is about PASSION. Kyle lives the dream, and shares it with us. What a beautiful world.

I remember when I was a little kid 55 years ago. My Dad was one of the last guys in Switzerland that was a trained coachbuilder. At the exam for the master degree they got only a blueprint and they had to build a complicated front fender. The first step they had to build was a template with flat steel stripes, shaping them acording to the blue print, weld the stuff together in a curved cage shape and hammer the sheet metal that it would fit exactly over the steel frame template. An extremely hard task to acomplish.

Not only one of the best craftsmen and artists but also the best followers. Please keep it up, everyone!

I remember when Most of the bodywork use to be done this way. Body shops, replace parts because it’s cheaper. Kyle, you’re a master.

yes, disposable culture. My neighbour is a old time body man but he said he hasn't made anything in years. All he does is paint new panels.

I like the original lines of the fenders but after his mockup I'm actually interested to see how his custom look will come out! I just hope its easier to get the rear wheels off again than by removing the bedside 😂

​@turboflush, yes, the labor costs more. The skills & techniques all servive & are used, but anything that adds labor is removed. Sadly labor costs increase from poor quality parts from china

That and "come back with a warrant" when the cleaning crew bangs on the door of a public toilet should be your go to moves

I WAS around in the 50s. You’re on the right track!

I took night classes in the late 80’s early 90’s and several after on auto body repair. 1st thing they taught us was hammer and dolly. I’m very impressed how you massage the metal back. So many today don’t get the hand work and labor that it really takes. Great job bud.

Looks very '40's/early '50's Buick-like. Such a cool custom!

Love it, go Kyle go

I really like your vision of what the Chicken Truck will become! It's gonna be a beauty I'm sure. Your modesty is part of your charisma, you DO deserve!

Hey Kyle, I think all of us who enjoy not only watching but learning and imagining our projects in the future. Last week our community had our annual "Cruise Night" and car show. 110 cars of every persuasion. I'm of a generation where "hot rodding" meant several trips to the "bone yard" for whatever we could dream up. Yes, some turned into nightmares but that was and still is part of the fun. I also believe in driving what I build. No fun hiding them in the garage. Thanks!!

I think the sketchier the car was, the more fun they were to own and drive. Sometimes I think, by design, they were meant to generate nightmares...for our parents !! lol

It's going to be cool as hell .The front fenders on the early GM cars carried in to the doors also. You could look at them to see how they did it.

Exciting seeing it come together!

You're the man!👍

Freaking awsome. Your a mechanical God! I watched before because I enjoy your show, I'll continue to watch now because I need to. Good work.

Nothing better than watching an craftsman/artist at work ... really starting to take shape .. well done Kyle !

Miltown would be a period correct stress medication for 1950 sheet metal. Valium wasn't available until 1963

Kyle, this thing is going to be incredible! The vision is there and I have no doubt you can get it done.

Beautiful job.

Nice! Your work is amazing

You mentioned about attracting the best viewers on the internet and I absolutely agree. You hit the jackpot with me and Reen, anyway! ☺☺☺ !

I love the concept design

Go Astronothings!!!

Your vision is coming true. Looking very nice Kyle😂

I NEEDED A COFFEE BREAK JUST WATCHING THIS MASTER CRAFTSMAN!GREAT WORK.

Kyle, it is a pleasure to watch you work.

I am so jealous of your talent. Keep the videos coming Kyle.

I think you are perfectly on target for a 50's styled custom. Great work !

Excellent craftsmanship, and your music choices are superb. Bravo!

Truly takes a craftsman to not only restore but to envision , built. and teach. Beautiful work. And Yes you do have a lot of supports.

When Appling fiberglass to the foam board, apply latex paint (house paint) as a protective layer to keep the foam board from melting. Love the project!!!

Love the chicken puppet! It adds to the entire theme.

Allen and Poe seem appropriately intrigued by the gifts

4)- Taking the styling Cues from the 1953 Skylark might be just what you're looking fore because...

I love the look you’re going for. Can’t wait to see you put it together.

Really like the fade away look . Excellent choice on tires and hub caps

I'm liking it.

I wasn't sure where you were heading with this truck but with this video I think I have finally figured it out and I really like it , and I love watching your videos . Keep it coming I can't wait to see your finished truck , it's gonna be awesome.

It's looking good Kyle, I like where you're going with it, might want to study some of the sculptured doors of the 50s and 60s for ideas on how they open, early corvettes come to mind with the wild shapes of those, I know they have a pocket in the front fenders for the "bulge" to swing into and they didn't need a very dramatic line in the gap to achieve the operation, beautiful work as always 👏 ❤❤

Truck is looking Cool Kyle, 😎

It's got a rod and custom dream truck vibe to it. Best build on KZread right now. When you installed the ralley wheel i almost rage quit, then you explained it. Whew, close call. Lol

Thanks Morgan!

I'm going to watch the whole build 😊

A period correct custom truck build.... perfect!

I don’t know how long I’ve been watching hing your work (the first thing that got me hooked was the underside of nearly all the body of a seventies van) but it remains fascinating and highly entertaining to watch your uploads Kyle, the Chicken truck is getting better every week! Thanks.

All I can say is AWESOME !

Very cool project; “There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing and be nothing. “ -Aristotle.

Kyle can't tell you how much fun I'm having watching you and Brent do these advanced design truck builds. I didn't see your vision until this latest video . Man you nailed it 👌. So much talent with so little equipment is inspiring to many home builders . Keep it up amigo

2)- I had a number of cars in my day with that front to rear sweeping look. The ones that come to mind the most are the 1953 Buicks and...

Carter's Controversial Auto Restyling would be a more appropriate name for your channel! Building dreams and destroying the know-it-all's That's why I watch! 😎

Looking good with paper on it. Bump it up to poster board and your good to go. Nice work brother. Thanks for sharing your work

It’s far better future all the constituent parts making this new whole than any of them would have had left to nature. Now they are art.

The truck is already looking great. Even if it didn't have the body lines shown in paper it would be a cool custom. The fade away look is going to be a challenge to pull off and have look good but I'm sure you got it!

Lovely work Kyle. I look forward to your next video.

I love your vision

The vision is becoming reality its going to iook great watching in the UK 🇬🇧

Kyle, your hammer and dolly skills are always an inspiration. I can't wait to see what the chicken truck looks like when you're done. The vision for the truck looks fantastic.

I love the plan. Best build on KZread at this time!

It's nice to see the truck take shape. Its gonna be sweet. Love your "grinch" prance as you placed the bed side on the truck.

To boldly go where no man has gone before. Keep up up the great work. 👍👍🇨🇦

Thank you kindly for sharing Kyle,, 💖🙏💖

I’m in awe. I have no words.

You are so patient explaining everything to the nay sayers! I guess its just your nature to be kind to those who don't deserve it. As you say you are finally getting to the fun stuff and I agree! You make me laugh out loud sometimes with your dancing, also with laying in a shower of sparks creating a new smoking jacket. Bravo sir! Nice choices on the music. I get the impression you have studied music somewhere in the past.

Those gifts are just like your work,Neat...

You should ask Reen (Rean?) if she would be willing to help you start a store, I think many of your viewers would be more than happy to support your efforts thru a store. Excellent dancing music. Keep on truck'n Kyle!

I am happy there's no store or merch as with so many other youtubers. I guess this means I've gotta donate cash. I resist that but I also admit you deserve it.

Chicken truck puppet and tshirt combo!

Kyle you are on a tear! The final product will be exciting.

Brilliant work and a good vision - will enjoy to follow your build …

If Tucker had ever taken off as a car manufacturer, I'm sure his chicken truck would have looked this. You have a good eye!

This is gonna be so awesome! It's looking just like the 1/25 scale prototype! The hubcaps are butter, baby.

I love your vision Kyle, you're quite the fabricator, especially coming from Saskatchewan LOL. Never mind the whiners, complainers and keyboard experts, you're doing the hands on and critics are either jealous or they're idiots so they shitpost. Can't take them seriously. I also appreciate your traditional build concept. Thats when the real innovators and craftsmen were cutting hands and bruising knuckles.

Ok have it your way! Jeez. I’m going to share this with all my friends.

That's a hell of a cool look, nicely done.

Do-whap-ditty-ditty, things are looking pretty…Cool boss-man. Cats in hats for everyone! Time to go back to my cell…

Taking this build to another level , Lots of hours ahead Kyle but boy it will be worth it .

I really dig your channel, Kyle. Thank you for your adhesion to old school customization. I honestly think that you are the only one on YT doing this at this complexed level, especially with lead. Life would be boring if we didn't challenge ourselves. Keep it up, I'd watch 5hrs of you de-munging inner fenders if that's all you did. Thanks for the cat content too!

Excellent work on the chicken truck. Will be looking forward to seeing more from 1953. ❤️👍✌️😎 Cheers

This is really coming together . Nice one Kyle

36:20 I tried to buy those exact TIG gloves at Hobo Freight just yesterday! Having discovered the hard way- canvas-back leather-palm gloves are inappropriate for beekeeping. Hobo frieght only had them in Extra LARGE. My hands are not extra large. However, I do have a very large . . . .ego in recompense.

3)- The 1953 Buick with the most audacious sweeping line was the Buick Skylark...

Again Kyle, it is a pleasure to watch you work. You keep things basic, with probably most of the tools we old farts have in the shed or friend's garages and set about doing a professional finish, that would make anyone proud. No armloads of bog (Bondo) but metal bumping at its' best! Onya cobber, you've got this by the short and curlies.

This is going to be amazing! Appreciate the arts and crafts teaser (it was well worth the materials ‘wasted’) and talking us through your thought process. I for one would love a tutorial on how to fabricate gull wing doors but I understand you gotta do what you gotta do 😉

You're doing a great job with that chicken truck, I couldn't understand your vision, but I see it now and it's been entertaining too see you get there.

Great! Work simply amazing you come up with parts our part cars to get the results you want really enjoy watching

Reminds me late 50's customs.

Classic,similar to my 1961 Borgward coupe,I like it !

KYLE.... there is a tool called a surform,, for shaping surfboard foam, a rasp but you can find abrasive attachments

This is going to be a incredible kool truck Kyle ! MAN, you are good!!

And the evil elf in his natural habitat destroys subject Canadian treasure while dancing to Beethoven piano music. What an evil lowered truck. Nice work Kyle! Respect!! Jim

So cool!

Beautiful Kyle, pls keep at it!!!

Those Doorfens™️ are cool.

the vision is appearing before our eyes!! this is going to be one cool short! nice!!!!

Very cool. What a great design. Looking forward to seeing it progress. All the best.

There is 2 main things that truly bring a classic car to its full potential… 4” white walls and a Fulton style visor on top of the windshield !!! Gangster AF Son !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯🔥

Sawzall, my favorite tool of destruction. Thank you Kyle. 👍🍿🍺

Awesome to see all going together!

Very Fleetmaster/Stylemaster like, nice.

Blocks in rear ,Check! I think the 53-4 front spindles you have, about 1" lower than the others, You could cut 1 coil , or, 49-52 coils are also slightly shorter. Been a while tho,,,,,DUBS

Your skills are definitely on point. Thanks for sharing...

You beat on a panel for awhile and I start to think yeah that looks pretty dang good. Then you beat on it for another hour, break out the shrinking disc, then beat on it for awhile more with 3 different tools and I start to realize why all my bondo work was always terrible 😂
