Carter Auto Restyling YouTube channel
 

One of my recent favorite YouTube channels is Carter Auto Restyling: https://www.youtube.com/@CarterAutoRestyling It's a young fellow in Canada who does some pretty impressive auto body work - rust repair, fabrication, dents, metal finishing. He has a quirky sense of humor and mainly works on Advanced Design (1947-1953) Chevy pickups that are by most standards way too far gone to even consider saving, but when he's done with a repair it looks better than new. Pretty educational to see what can be done in a home garage with a minimum of tools.

Thanks for the link I watched couple of the videos. I like his approach on repairs, nice to see another talented guy.

Thanks, Stuart!!
I will watch one soon.

There's a guy in California. Named Jonathon Ward. He owns a company called ICON. They "build" 47-55-1/2 Chevy pickups, 1st generation Ford Broncos ( and the newest ones. I think) and the Toyota FJ stuff.

He does build other, older vehicles, also. His videos don't primarily pertain to all the build specifics, but he is usually test driving a finished product, which he explains most of the build details. His finished products are not for the "faint of wallet". He never mentions $$$, but on the list of questions that the innerweb asks, they say His builds run from $200,000.00 to $1,000,000.00 PLUS!!! In his internet YouTube videos, his explanation of his builds pretty much tell you that ALL the details his company goes through to build ANY of his vehicles. They are insane!!!

I mostly watch the Chevrolet pickup videos. Mt Dad had a 50 1/2 ton 5 window...LOL, to this day he regrets selling it (he needed a newer for his filling station business).

ICONS Chevy pickups all start with a Art Morrison chassis. All have a GM crate engine. All are the higher HP LS engines of some kind. They are backed up with either a Tremac manual trans or a GM 4 speed auto, that is always capable of handling the huge horsepower of the accompanying engine. Most have a Dana 60 Strange brand independent differential or a Ford 9 inch.

Bla, bla. It's something I enjoy!!!

Thats hilarious when hits that fender with the hammer.

Yeah, for a second there. I thought he had been watching too many Vice Grip garage videos.....

Fixed it for ya!

Just kidding. I'll check out the channel. I need to do some bodywork on my beat-up '69 Bronco and could use some tips.
