I think you do really creative body work and you improvise beautifully but the engineering mods worry me Brad, especially the way you extended the pitman arm. I believe an engineer would be concerned. If you'd spent a bit more time using a bench and vice, drill a hole in each sectioned end , dowelled the extension piece bevelled/channelled the weld area, then welded it to create a structurally safe component it'd be fit for purpose. Engineering and body modification are two distinct fields. I know you prefer to do things quickly but quickly is not the best opition with engineering. I hope you accept this comment in good spirit as it was intended. Always better to be safe than sorry.
@@danbish5371 I heard it Dan...but temporary can become permanent. Brad was adding a lot of material via welding to the pieces to reshape the pitman arm. Sculpting the pitman arm with weld to replicate the existing profile (why?) so that the car can be solely moved about the property temporarily, doesn't sit well with me. A fracture in a steering component can cause death. A custom billet replacement would cost more in time and money but would be the safe option. None of this takes away from Brad's creative skills with bodywork. Safe engineering is never optional.
OK Jolene, let's pull a Bad Chad and do a burn out first thing out of the chute when you get to drive the racecar. You guys are making great progress on these projects, racecar and COE. Now you are double teaming it so things should even get better. With all the weight cuts Bad Chad has made and wind resistance made by sectioning-lowing and chopping the car, it should have a big advantage over some if not most all the other race cars. I still would like to see some roll bars to protect Jolene in case of a roll over or a broad side crash, which is required in the USA.
I'm still here watching liking.. and waiting for the next episode. I just can't help being addicted to this fantastic entertainment.👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 For Jolene's camera work and Chad's enthusiasm. Wish upon you both good fortune and happiness. Thank you both for the joy and friendships that you have created. For us all.
By lengthening the pitman arm you have changed the steering geometry so the wheel will be harder to turn and the steering will be much quicker, ask me how I know!
@@davidfarley1175 I have been into off road buggy's for 30 years now and I've done many mods to steering and handling, you do get quicker steering response by lengthening the pitman arm, at the same time you're making the steering wheel more difficult to turn, it's all about leverage.
Good evening jolene and chad and everyone getting ready to watch another amazing show that jolene put many hours in to making of chad building these amazing cars and sharing his knowledge and information so we can learn as well
Great work, I’ve been watching your videos for months and have been learning a lot about car construction and bodywork. I’m rebuilding,restoring and modifying my car to make it my own. Thanks for the great videos.
still amazes me how you see things and just build them . I can do the same with wood but wood is very forgiving Thanks for the great ideas and content Jolene is great with the camera work
@Larry Crandell I feel exactly the same way about wood Larry. When ever I look at a piece of wood the grain in the wood tells me what it wants to be. And I set to work untill I see my visions come to life.
Just wondering if that's any of the new "LINCOLN" equipment you're using? I'll bet it has some awesome capabilities. Sure would be nice to have a Lincoln representative stop by for an introductory demonstration. This ol'mo'fo has had several welding jobs in my lifetime, but I'd definitely still need help with the basics. 🧐 😁
I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice, the crossmember location under the steering column will require the column to be removed when removing the body. I'm sure you will just rock and roll on...
Fun build - but the engineering is in fact dangerous - yes - riding my motorcycle is also dangerous - but I do pity anyone having a shunt in that thing - the risk of serious injury is very high - HA - but still a neato looking style and sometimes 'form over function' triumphs (hopefully nobody gets injured in the process). Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Hi Chad ! I really like your work and but I'm not a car builder ! Isn't the steering wheel console a bit longer ? When you are looking from the side of the car the position on the driver (the head on the driver ) is located on the way of the door column ...That can be not safety when the driver looking around for car from left and right
Love seeing the work get done with regular shop supplies. Many ways to build anything and always cool to see how Chad makes it work . keep up the great videos
hey guys, luv your enthusiasm Chad BUT that pitman arm you should have made a new one from a lump of new metal OR adapted one from another vehicle ..OR drill up into the ends and inserted longer piece of round steel then drill holes and cross pinned it at both ends , then welded round the new piece and ends..metallurgists will say where you have but welded it ,it could break upside of the weld....good luck
Personally I would check the movement of the steering first before lengthening the pitman arm and changing the gearing of the steering . However given its weight , a more direct or high geared steering wont be an issue. But in reality you will do it however you want , which is also what I would do. This is my morning inspiration channel , before attacking my own projects. Thanks for what you do.
The steering will be quicker and harder as he loses the mechanical advantage. The stress on the gearbox itself can also increase dramatically snapping the shaft or other parts inside. I don’t think they actually plan on driving this hot rod so it should be fine for yard art.
Several things im afraid i have to disagree with. Pitman should have been removed,and ball/socket end should be kept cool. Arc welding and pre-heating followed with post cooling. Also using a section from a donor pitman. I know its not going on the road, but it needs some margin of safety. I see the ball/socket end can be removed. Should have.
Shoutout to Jolene. Perfect videoing.. not all over the place while. Walking around the car. Nice and steady. Two thumbs 👍 up. Keep up the great work!!!!
Split a piece of tubing and sandwich it over the square stock and the pitman arm ends , weld the ends of the tubing then fill the voids w/brass . This Must be your BEST Welding ! Only temporary ! FINDA LONGER PITMAN ARM ! ! ! ! ! !
It's your build Chad. FREEDOM. Thanks for Sharing your day with us. Hope the new Hiltz Design Steering components makes it through the trials. Thank You Jolene for your production.
So this Pittman arm that you are doing massive welding work on is only temporary, just to move the car around, not for the race, Right? Not for the race Right!
Great job on the video, always right there where the action is, and the sound is perfect. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings on the build. Good to see Chad looking out for Fina with the grinding sparks.
I think it would look better with the front down . If your thinking gasser then think about dragster instead. Chads brain likes dragster Jolene. Listen to your brain lower the front put front axle forward and above the frame brain.
I see one problem with lengthening the pittman arm and idler arm ( increased steering effort due to a loss of mechanical advantage ). Maybe not so bad for an eighth mile drag racer, but road racing would be another story.
It's great to see the build coming together and you have shown the hole process which I find much better Chad and jolene. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍
Your doing a great job on the car Chad love your work and Jolene always does a great job filming your every move,also as a fellow canadian I would like to wish you and Jolene a Happy Thanksgiving with your familyand friends andJolene the same
It's Friday! We had a big weld today, it was red-hot metal! Maybe if you use a little smaller steering wheel it would help with vision but not with force needed to turn. Not easy to find the balance! Thanks!
@@robertshoesmith5074 gotcha, it will prob never leave his yard, he'll start 10 more cars before next year's race. Welding the living daylights out of it shouldn't cause issues .
Wow! Love how get ideas of the top of your head on the fly you amazing! Your welding is very impressive too. Jolene is so steady and so focused on camara

Hi i am a liitle surprised he didn't put in a more modern collapsing steering column .Just in case of an accident.
If you would have listened to him.. he said it temporary.. to move the car around..

@@davidfarley1175 simple engineering principle.
Thanks for the consistent quality you guys produce daily.
the steering column is way to far back,it can go forward 8 inches and still be ok for jolene
And the wheel seems way too high up, should be 4 inches lower to me… face killer this way ☹️

I think you have hit on the perfect name for this car. Risky Business

I’m pretty sure Chad said this is just temporary so he could move the car around. It would be hard to watch otherwise. I never missed an episode
It’s creative of you working under a time sensitive setup and on the fly.
Good work ethnic to you both and Fina✌️
Looking good Chad, Props to Jolene on another great video
Mr Pitman would be proud.
Ready to see how this goes. Jolene always on her game.
Cant wait to see how this goes... Good work Chad and Jolene
I can't wait to see that Pittman arm all ground down and cleaned up. That was very interesting to watch
This build gets better every day. Congrats!
You make it look easier than it really is.
It’s Friday, another week with Chad and Jolene and they’re fun videos!
Top job Chad can not wait to see this run jolene
amazes me how you see things and just build them
He has some fun stuff hanging around on the walls also
The grinder noise is 100 times louder to that dog. They have super hearing but that shop dog didn’t move
And weld flashes and fumes also.
Fina’s little feet must be tough as hell also. She seems to be such a sweetheart.
The project just keeps gaining ground.

Thanks Chad and Jolene for putting out awesome stuff!!
Are we going to have an interference fit with the pedals and the square bracing?
Mot when he is done. Boy, you really visualize his concept.
Your making me love these old cars
It's Friday! Awesome welding!

HI CHADi hope you move the steering colum forward and not run a welded pitman arm if welded thats only a surface weld hollow in the middle OHIO hotrod
I think he said it was all temporary so he could move the car around the yard and steer it. Great entertainment. Let’s hope that nobody gets hurt.

Chad is Steering us in the right direction.
nice how you make it all go together
Measure never, cut once ... Love how Chad eyeballs things and then just gets er done. That's talent and vision.
Doesn’t take him long to figure out a plan. Might be a good time to install a muffler bearing on the steering column.
Even better . I'm so restless to see finished results
I vote keep the grill rake going.. seeing it outside with the truck was cool 👍🏼
the drag link needs to run parallel with the other rod or it will cause it will give problems
This channel rocks!! 35 ford looks awesome! You two keep up the great work!!

Super work
Working to complete the race car. Meanwhile, Chad has been sanding the FORD-O-MERC roof outside. Keep up the good work Chad and Jolene.
Smart idea on steering column and steering linkage. Never thought of that
This is the reality of building custom cars. Fit test fit cut assemble test mark disassemble cut reweld. repeat
Steering mission accomplished .. looking more and more ;like a finished car every day
Martin Harris , spot on comment !
I normally say “it’s your car. Do what you want”. But welding that pitman arm is wrong and dangerous.
Whats wrong with welding cast steel, it's called freedom , if u know what I'm trying to tell you. Seriously I agree with ya.
