Thank god for reruns,If I go a day without watching Bad Chad and the Amazing Jolene My day doesn't feel complete,Even though I cant do what he does anymore I still have the need or want to be involved so by watching listening and learning I still get to see the amazement of a good thought put in reality,Thanks for keeping our enthusiasm enthusiastic!
I have to laugh chad when some of your followers criticize your methods. Its your build.....or else you would have asked for input. I am glued to the screen. Keep up the great work!
I like how you explain your work and ideas in layman's terms. Makes it easier to understand the different methods.
Elvis is alive! All the paint colors kick ass. Trying to fix those gaps would drive me insane but you knew exactly what to do. Impressive. Thank you Chad and Jolene for sharing your adventure.
I am grateful for your teaching method , also for your passion for the craft . Thank you for also modeling great respect and adoration for your chosen partner,something that is hugely amiss in todays world.
You both should be awarded something because how you help ppl that may some times be aline and they come on the channel and chat and make friends
Great info in every video. I work 2nd shift so I have to save your videos to watch later, but I watch daily and enjoy the content.
That car gonna break some necks rolling by definitely!! Paint is gonna be fire! I'm just waiting ong on Jolene's buggati to get paint and rolling! That's a sick build!! Keep up the badass work Chad and Jolene!!! I would consider taking my 91 S10 to you to get the custom touches and detail you put in to the rides... Take care and keep it up!!
Every video I watch is an inspiration for me to get out in the garage and work on my project ('93 Chevy Indy Pace Truck). I truly appreciate your content, Chad.
I think that what you do and how you do it can't be taught but be experienced. What you do and how you do it has been many years in the making. Trial and error has been and still is your teacher. Your a master.
No wonder you have so many great looking cars Chad, you know all the tricks, thanks for the videos 👍👍
Lots of great body work tips here Chad. I really like learning any short cuts that I can. Glad you're feeling better Jolene, I've noticed you have been pretty quiet lately. I miss your petite sounding giggles :)
WOW 🤩 🤩 what an awesome job showing me how you do the body lines with tape. You make everything look so easy and it’s not, and you are a true artist Indy bad Chad !! 🥇🥇🥇
Seeing the way you simplify the fabrication process has really given me the confidence to start my own projects. Keep up the amazing work guys! 🤙
I truly enjoy Chad and Jolene's videos. Watching Chad, his energy is amazing and he can describe in direct detail what he is doing and why is is doing it that way. For anyone looking to restore or rebuild car car this channel is gold. And Jolene, I know about back pain. Get well. Its no fun so I feel for you.
I really like what you did to the truck lid....that's called vision..your not just a car guy you are an artist
Hello Chad an Jolene an to all that is watching I'm from carlow in Ireland. glad to hear Jolene is feeling better than she was
I have been watching for a little over a year now. I remember watching you years ago when you made the space ship car with the bubble top.
Live your work, you guys are really down to earth people.
Thank you for what you do.
Fantastic content and comments. I still have never seen anyone do body work to such a high standard, at such a high speed before. A true artist, fast and efficient.
Thank You for this Body, hood Gap tutorial. Thank You for sharing your knowledge. Thank You Jolene for your production work, it is excellent!
Nice job on the front! There is a 3 step method that is working. Paint stripping bath, derusting bath and KTL dipping bath. Thats a good start to work on an empty body and metal is prevented all over from rust even in the smallest areas and corners. Thats more the pricey way and not the fun way. Waiting for the next part! Wont miss it!
Yeah bad Chad I seen the Facebook comments now and then and the only thing I can say is you got to ignore them because they want you to get upset with their comments, that’s just the way some people are and I guess it must be because their life sucks so they got to try to make other peoples life suck I guess !! You always say you got to please yourself first so don’t let them get to you !! You got the best TH-cam channel on TH-cam by far when it comes to your line of work !! 💥🥇🥇
I m in agreement with you. I ordered a new car in 1978. At that time I chose not to include the factory chrome. As soon as it came in I picked it up from the dealership and installed plastic chrome when I got home. I can't really say how long it lasted, but it remained for 10 years until I traded it in for another car. You could say it lasted long enough for me!
Enjoy watching the progress, for painting the small items on paper. I like to use wood tack strip for carpets. The nails in the strips hold the item off the paper.
I cannot believe how I keep learning stuff almost every day keep up the good work
this is an excellent show for anybody building or thinking of building a vehicle
Sorry, late too the show. But, watching it now. This takes me back to the days when i was the guy in our group of friends who was the body and welder guy!. These older cars never fit well from the factory. Close was good enough! Keep up the great work!
Your technique is so simple and makes perfect sense and will be trying your way on my car .
In 1972 I bought a new Ford F 100 in Calypso Coral with a Black spray on vinyl roof. Love the color combo. Picking up a lot of good info from your show. Thanks
Great Job Chad your workmanship and ATTENTION to Detail is INCREDIBLE!!!
Your attention to detail is great. I enjoy everything you create. Thank you Jolene for your amazing videos.
Officially looking for a hot rod to customize! Thanks Chad!
I look forward to seeing your videos every day. So motivating for my build
as always great video , great info thanks for bringing us along for the ride
Really enjoyed this episode! The cardboard and tape methods for adjusting gaps were very helpful.
Your awesome to watch. I even have my 73 yr old mom hooked on watching you
these instruction videos are so much better remberred than the old how to build a hot rod magazines..ty for step by step instruction
You’re so right mate. How many times do we see on shows like ‘Pickers’ where they find a car/bike in a barn that was restored by someone famous 30years earlier…and due to neglect…it now needs a full resto. It didn’t last 🤣👍
Your Spot On Chad! There Is So Much Plastic On Todays Cars & Trucks! It's Amazing! I Remember Some Of The First Vinyl Dashboards, They Cracked Due To The Intense Heat & UV From The Sun Coming Thru The Windshield!
Today's Plastics Are Very UV Tolerant! That Chrome Striping You Use (I Think) Is Awesome!
That is an easy way to solve the hood gab issue. Chad I learn something from you everyday, thankyou.
bad chad, the duke of cool, the billy idol of custom car's, keep's up the great work's man.
Great content Chad. Almost every production car from the 50’s thru the 70’s had poor panel gap fit. Glad you can teach us how to fix this!
Lots of great tips on his older videos. Check them all out.
Very true , even new teslas aren't great either ☝
I have enjoyed every single video that I have watched of yours, and the fact that you use simple tools that anyone should be able to use is amazing.
You make it look so easy, that's why you get so much joy in doing what you do best. Thanks Mark Dutka Oakville Ontario Canada
You've helped me get back to my T build. Thank you.
Elvis is looking good I was looking at some Mercury’s the same year as yours with factory paint jobs and they also had the lightning bolt of different colors it’s gonna be a sharp paint job can’t wait to see the finishedAutomobile
What you're doing to Elvis is awesome it will be well rewarding in the end happy for you and Jolene and of course Fina I enjoy
I hope Jolene is ok with her back pain. Keep up the great work Chad, Jolene and beautiful Fina :)
Love from Germany
Great job. Watching this everyday has me working on projects here at home that have set for years. Enjoy every minute of learning new things from you and Jolene’s videos.
I can't wait to see these cars painted just so you can shove it in other people's faces. I hate hearing how they bash you all the time and your s*** is getting done and I'm looking cool as hell
Hot rodding is not about shoving it in other peoples faces. It’s about making friends, sharing ideas, and having fun. Sharing your suggestions is good, encouraging bad behavior it’s not good for chads channel
I watch you every day! I've learned so much! Thanks Chad you're the best!
Really looks good!! I really admire both your talent and your work ethic!!
Thanks for the content. I enjoy watching whenever I get the chance
Nice work on the hood. Learned a lot on how to fill gaps. Will help me on my car 1958 Chevy nomad wagon.
Great job Chad and you too Jolene, I truly appreciate the hard work you're doing and the knowledge your sharing,,,Thanks
Awesome video! I love the bouncing from paint to body work and the assembly! I too like variety in work! Going to be a good looking Merc!
i admire how you are able to switch from one project to another so seamlessly.
Nice body lines and gaps are what is first noticed I think. That Bonnet is looking great. Thank you, take care and peace out!
Love watching you and joleen work on cars or just in shop
Another awesome learning video for me again. Thankyou badchad and jolene 🖤 have a good weekend. from all the way in nz.✌
Dude, that was shear artistry. I really enjoyed watching you sculped.
Your a true inspiration. Makes me want to get my 1972 C 20 home to work on it.
The quality of Chad’s workmanship and Jolene’s videography skills are second to none. Best content on the web!
Jolene really got some great close-up shots of the deck lid yesterday.
Really is something watching how you fine tune the body work you did early on so you end up with the finished look the way you want it. Thanks for keeping on with the hard work and daily content.
The inside of the trunk looks great. I am a little surprised he left all those holes in the metal however.
I’m sure they are there for a reason
Chad I really like your point at 18 minutes about da vs. Block … u are 100 💯 right …. If u are skilled and get it , u can use the da 90 % of the time !! …., no room for arm chair haters ! …. Your results are a barn full of awesome paint jobs u did yourself !!! ❤️
Really appreciate all the good ideal. It's nice to see how you show the ways a everyday person can do it on their cars
Love the look of Elvis. This will be an awesome car once completed. Nice work Chad and Jolene. Good luck in the semis Jolene
I always shyed away from body work you make it look easy if you take your time , it makes me want to try
Jolene I just want to tell you what a great job you do with the camera, you make me feel like I'm right there in the shop
just love this series thanks chad n jolene
Great job on the trunk Chad looks awesome with it seamless and the black out treatment
I have learned a lot from Bad Chad. Thank you Jolene for filming.
There is also a lot of great tips on Chad’s older videos. I think there is something here for everyone from beginner to expert
Hoping you guys have your car show this year...be cool to put some of your finished and in the works out there in the yard...bunch of coool projects...just a big thumbs up to you guys living the dream...Elvis coming along...thanks for the episode cya tomorrow 👍
The tape to shrink the gapis such a brilliant technique!🤙
Chad and jolene your right in what you said today's cars are more plastic than metal and the chrome you use will last for years and years. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏
Looking forward to this so i can maybe learn something to help with my f100 project.
I'm glad to watch you doing body fill.
I'm learning so much.
Rock on brother!
Great content about the hood gaps. Hope you have someone to help take the hood off. Glad to hear Jolene is feeling better.
Love watching you work your magic on these old beauties. Giving me great ideas
The Merc is coming together , this is going to be one slick cruiser
Looks amazing Chad. Glad you’re feeling better Jolene. You got my vote.
Hey chad jolin.great job on working with those vintage car. U are one of a kind. This is my first comment. Like what u do .I from Colorado spring . Colorado USA. I watch your show everyday. My name is William
Amazing, i always wondered how i was going to fix gaps, i heard from others that it was the biggest pain in the A** , Now I know how to do it.
Nice trick using the tape. Thanks for showing us your videos.
I know you're just one guy and it's hard to get everything done but I'm really looking forward to seeing Jolene's car get done. Keep up the good work!
Jolene where’s the crowd? Woke up a 13 again today, nice! Great work Dynamic duo! Thank you I enjoy watching daily.
I really like how you see it in your mind and then just build it. Like all art it doesn’t appeal to all some of your projects are awesome looking , others not so appealing to me but that’s part of what makes it art
I didn’t realize that hood had so much custom work. Looks awesome. Great job. Joleen your filming skills are excellent.
