nice job on giving the hot rod career away for free for youtube fame!

Very tidy work. Don't think people realize the time you put into this not only the work itself but the thought process to figure everything out. Joy to watch and learn. Keep them coming.

Anyone else just instantly smash the like button before the video even starts playing because you know it's going to be great with this dude 🤟

That firewall, transmission tunnel and floor pan ought to be in a museum. WOW is an understatement. This was a real fun one to watch. 👍

Hands down best instruction and demonstration on KZfaq. Awesome work mate!!!

You Sir are a true craftsman. Beautiful ! ! ! Furthermore, I like your style. You don't try to be the comedian or clown, just straight down to the work, which is both rare and refreshing.

Thanks for keeping the music level below the level of your voice. Hate when watching a video and the guy quits talking and some head banging music starts playing at a level that frightens the hamsters in the next room. Clecos are an awesome tool. Aircraft mechanic here.

Your skills relate to more years than you are old. EXCELLENT JOB and presentation. If my metal skills equal yours , I would never cover it up with carpet lol. Jeff

Karl, that 31 roeadster is sweet! I love watching you work. So much knowledge being passed on. Tell the owner to bring it to SoCal for the GNRS show at some point. Show it in bare metal, then bring it back again when done for the AMBR.

First time seeing someone tig a spot weld. Insane.

Every time I watch what you do,I learn something new,I did not realize why all the holes were in the floor pan frame rails and now it make sense,your tips will help me when I start to build my projects! Thanks!

Крутой мужик. Слова не понимаю но по работе все понятно. Привет из России. Пол красив получился.

Great explanations of both the bead rolling logic on the floor pans and the drill through approach to welding them in. It’s good education to hear the “why” pre-stretching might be good and when its not needed.

Sure is fun watching a master craftsman at work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! Great video!!!

I love all the 'skelotonized' frame work. Let's you use that nice 10ga without all the weight. Thanks for another great video. Keep 'em coming.

The finish of your bare metal is absolute art! The interior looks so beautiful without anything in it. It will be a shame to put seats etc in and cover up that gorgeous work! Each angle and roll lovingly hand made by a highly conscientious craftsman. The owner indeed is a lucky person. Thank you for sharing this, Karl. Can’t wait to see it finished!

Massive skills! Great , humble teaching style also! Showing your work from cad to plasma cut to kleko install, and reasons for thru holes making a better weld ... You are the man! What a pro job you can be proud of! The building is more satisfying than the end product ownership, both have their satisfaction, but a Fab dude probably isn't satisfied unless another fulfilling job is planned and taking place. Props!

It's really too bad most folks won't ever get an opportunity to fully appreciate all the contemplation, decision-making and hard work that goes into such a project. Beautiful, inspiring workmanship!

Wow I’m not sure I’ll ever have a situation where I would try this but I can watch and listen to you do this for hours lol Keep it up with the vidyas 🤘

This has got to be one of the best channels for this type of work. Look forwards to every lesson. Just brilliant Thank You

I used to work in a body shop back in the 70's, your skill level is fantastic and is above most people working metal like you do.

Anyone can throw a fender on and mix some plastic and slap it into a hole . What you do is MAGIC to the auto body repair. I am a retired auto body guy and never came close at your level. More worked at dealerships and did that kind of repair. Keep letting the young generation know what is out there. At my age internet wasn't available , so what we learned from is other guys what they did. You should be very proud of yourself on where you stand in the world. No 1 in my book. Keep the content coming . Ben from Alberta

"Doesn't have to be perfect" - because it will be when you are finished. Awesome work man..

Those floor panels fit like a glove. Ready for the next one Karl.

Once again Karl, beautiful work and another great tutorial!!

I found your channel just a few days ago and I have already seen most of your videos.. I am really impressed with your work, but also with the fact that you answer questions!!! I asked about 5-6 and you answered every one of them.. So thank you for your incredible work and for this great channel. I hope you find a new place that won't drain everything you've got... You will never need a "STORE FRONT" as your work will bring people from everywhere to wherever you are... And you WILL need good vacations, so find a place OFF the beaten path that you can BUY and build your future. Not some landlord who won't give two shits..... I wish you all the luck and can't wait for the next video..

I see you becoming the #1 builder on KZfaq.

I build my own Machines and Love metal Shaping , I know how to , weld , do chop tops , make floors and so on , coming here to your channel , it gives me a smile and INSPIRATION , your style is what I like and the way you talk to people , all so , you are a very good Man , thanks mate all the best from Australia

Carl you make “outstanding” look easy. Fantastic job on the floor pan. Can’t wait to see the end results. Keep the videos coming.

Thank you for the videos, a video on pre-streaching panels 👍

dang buddy the tools, and knowledge you have is outstanding, very nice setup and job.

Very help full idea about drilling through both layers Karl . the floors and seat support look amazing . everything i see you do is a true work of art . i love how you explain why you do it your way. thank you for the great video work too Christina .

Thanks for the great tips. Also you do some excellent work, that’s going to be one finely crafted hotrod.

Great video and amazing work! Thanks for explaining why you don't need the prestretch on the beadroll. That floor is badass!

Fantastic work, gotta be proud of that👍

Beautiful job on the pans, well thought out and executed.

You made it look EZ. You are a Master of your trade.

I freaking love this channel. I have been doing custom motorcycles and cars for 30+ years. I learn so much from you. Thanks

This method is obliviously better by saves time, money and "tin panning". Looks clean and neat too! Thanks, JD

Awesome work as usual!!

As always your work is top notch!!! It's easy to be inspired by the quality of work you produce!!!

Geez, I love your style, builder and teacher. Great show guys, thanks for all you do.

You're a craftsman and a real pleasure to watch and listen to. Thanks :)

That is some really fine work. Work you can be proud of.

Your metal working kicks! Better than some of the other channels. :D

The tip about having the hole through the panels is killer. Thanks. I always thought I had to open up the hole in the top sheet to get proper plug weld but I'm going to try your method here. I'm doing a bunch of clecoed panels now so couldn't have come at a better time👍👍🙏

Floor looks really good, along with the seat mount. I like the way you explain what and why your doing this way. Thank you

Model A is looking freaking awesome - love the aviation looking inner structure keep up the good work

I must have watched this video a dozen times. Love it.

I’ve got some old skins I’ve collected over the years and you’ve given me a good way of bracing them up to make a body. Thanks man!

Lot of time in that floor and it shows it. Nice work. Can't wait to see that rocker panel get installed on the van.

Man the seat frame & floor pans look great with your technique. 😎👍🇨🇦

So clean!

That metal work is over the top. Fantastic work!

Awesome practical video!!! Greeting from New Zealand! 🇳🇿

Another great video. Not only a great metal man but also a great teacher.

Love the videos my wife teases me all the time she walks in the shop and I have your videos playing and all she says is oh my God you have a new man crush and I tell her no I finally found someone else whom I respect when he speaks because there's definitely a lot of KZfaq builders guys shouldn't be taking seriously on their how to videos

Stellar work

Super work!!

Ive never ever done metal work before . i really like what you are doing

Incredible detail, awesome 👏

guys this is metal working ..... pure art, good job man ;-)

NICE! Back in my day we didn't have CAD programs or CNC plasma tables. Great music once again. I have found in the past that when one has a plan and attempts to implement it as it was thought and written down, there are always things and ideas that crop up and you go" Hey, that's a great Idea and it would look so cool"! this is where a five hour job turns into a fifty hour job, but it feel good and it feels right. I LOVE Clecos! Without the holes in the braces the Tig will tens to arc in the hole and not touch the brace very much, which will lead to broken welds later on and then you get some nasty road rattle that you have to fix else it drives you crazy. Super job on the welding. I wish I could weld that fast, I might have made some money at this game. Like my old friend Bill used to say, "have a plan, but you can change it as you go, It's an organic process". He would've like you Karl, but he's been gone now these last 6 years.

Beautiful work. Great attention to detail.

A work of art. Totally awesome!

Real clean lookn

Great Work and attention to detail.

Super clean work, as always. I can’t wait to see you get settled and start on the 2 door conversion zephry. It’s gonna be just as slick.

That's going to be one nice car Karlos 😁😁 no rot no rust solid metal Awesome dude 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Awesome man, love it! Thanks for the work you put in to share.

Turned out awesome.

That is a beautiful floor pan.

That interior looks like art! Well done!

dude you are a true tradesman .. Keep it up

Like the way you do the spot welds.

Awesome video! Great how you take the time to explain and show everything! Awesome!!!

The best and clearest example I have seen. Very well done.

Excellent workmanship...

The design and execution are fantastic-Thank you✅👍

Thank you for all the Greatest work I have learned a lot with your metal work .

Thank you for another wonderful video. Just love the way you work, it's so clean. The cleacos to hold the floor panels in place are a good idea so that you won't get movement anywhere else on the panel while you're welding. ❤️👍😊

You do some beautiful metal fabrication just excellent

Amazing talent

Well done mate. Can't wait to see it done!
