Ive seen an old car builder take a stir stick tapped 2 razor blades on the end one on each side and that was the width of his door gap on every car he builds. Worked great and super fast
Most honest builder on TV and TH-cam. Chad you honestly have inspired me to finally start doing more of my own body work on my VWs. Thanks for doing these, you should have way more subscribers!!!
Chad you show how to do it with out having to purchase a lot of tools at an enormous Price! Plus you didn't weight out your fill😅 just kidding. Great job👊
Hi ive spent most of my life fixing everyone elses vehicles and have no energy for my own thing since watching tv and your youtube vids im spurred on many thanks from uk
Forget the car stuff! I love watching it, but I really gain a lot just from your attitude about life. Doing things for yourself and not worrying about what others think or say. There’s a lesson to be learned in that. Too few of us nowadays are capable of letting things go and realizing life is too short to not let go of the negativity of others. 👍
TIP TIP Hey Chad - I know your interested in efficiency. On the door gaps - take Two razors tape them with a popsicle stick (or whatever) in between - This way - You only Cut once along the door line - and the gap is done and perfect no taping necessary - The gap is consistently perfect every time......with just one swipe.

Man you do a great job . Everybody has their own way of doing things , that's how we learn new things . Keep doing what you do . You and Joleen get y'all some rest and enjoy the night
Definitely do NOT let haters get to you. I thank you so much for your time and effort. Learning priceless information here and I enjoy it. You are a true professor.
New watcher here! Love the good vibes n the positivity. Gonna binge watch older videos till a new one comes along. Great job and the cars are beautiful!
Your method is a lot easier than mine, thanks for the door gap tip. Joleen, awesome welding and videoing. I don't know what Chad ever did with out you. Thanks for the vids.
Chad is giving the regular car guy great hints to complete their project in a reasonable amount of time and for a fair price. I find his show great fun to watch, totally Canadian type of guy. Good on you buddy.
Great job. Really nice result. I agree that you can do a lot without a lot of money. I've been building furniture as a hobby for almost 45 years now and not spending a lot of money to get a great deal of satisfaction and pleasing a lot of people along the way. Cars have always been a passion of mine and while I have not worked on cars like you do for many years because family, a job and my furniture has taken most of my time I can still really appreciate the craftmanship and work that goes into these builds. Great work and looking forward to seeing the rest of the builds.
Thanks heaps Chad , am up to this stage on my 1958 morris minor custom build and this video was exactly what I needed to get it done . From Nick, New Zealand
Yet another great video! Great job Chad and Jolene! A little tip based on your razor blade trick which an old bodyshop guy taught me is to tape or screw 2 razorblades together with a ice lolly or paint stick in between when running the blade across the door edge as you do, the 2nd blade is also cutting a 2nd line exactly the width of the lolly/paint stick away from your door edge giving a nice even gap all the way around, still finished the same way as bad chads method however handy as it saves your masking tape and ensures the same gap all the way around 😎👌
Just Found you that car looks absolutely amazing go to follow you all the way through thanks for brightening up my evenings and early mornings from Keith and England
Good video Chad on getting great body lines. I was watching Bitchin Rides last night and they were working on a 51 Ford truck. They were doing alot of sheet metal work and it reminded me of what you said in your video yesterday. I was saying you have to flood it out! they put fiberglass on then sprayed it with epoxy primer just like you said, then they used polyester filler over it. It was like Deja Vu all over again! Good Show!
Hey Chad I watch all ur videos and I live in Kingsport Tennessee and u teach alot on the stuff u do cause u take ur time and tell how u do things and show how u do it to and that's why I like watching all ur videos
Thank you for sharing. Stumbled across your videos by accident a few days ago glad I did. Frantically trying to catch up on all your stuff 😁not enough hours in the day. Love your style, explanations and outlook on life, excellent. You only get out of life what you put in and it takes time, can’t do it all in 5 minutes. So many great tips and ideas to help with our projects, thank you and good health to you 😊
Love the content and builds. Love to see Chad’s passion for building cars. I also see Chads love for Jolene! I’d like for Jolene to wear a mic too. Chad often asks her questions throughout a video.
EXCELLENT information! THANK YOU so much I was just getting ready to work on door gaps on my corvette! HUGE HELP! Take care and God bless you all! David
Great content Chad , I do the same but I made a tool for this very thing very simple and would save you the time of running tape around your opening . . Take a piece of 1/8" x 1" flat bar and two razor blades . Tack the two blades onto the flat bar at about 45% to the end of the bar .Load your foam as usual , apply filler onto the panels as you have shown , now use the tool you've just made , again running against the door as you've demonstrated but the two blades after tacking them on equates to the perfect 3/16" gap . Works excellent .I enjoy your sessions and am subscribed . Later !
Thank you for the knowledge you bring to the table I've been watching your TH-cam shows for well over a year now it's got to be closer to 2 and your replies to my comments are wonderful also so thank you so much
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. I'm interested in seeing the next step. Final sanding before primer. You said you don't block sand and you use a DA. How do you not have a bunch of pig tail swirls in the filler? do you use a high build primer to fill those swirls in? I don't know anything about this so I don't know what high build primer is capable of filling. I'm seriously curious. Very interested to follow along.
I’ve seen it done similar but using a paint mixing stick with a razor blade taped to each side and then they run it on the door. Same concept except you do both sides at the same time. The door gap is then the thickness of the paint stick.
Another informative and inspiring video. Thank you very much Chad and Jolene, Please keep these great videos coming. I love that you show what it really takes to do this work, the TV show is great but not as good as these latest youtube videos you have put out.
His style is his and he will defend himself and I love that..
Ive seen an old car builder take a stir stick tapped 2 razor blades on the end one on each side and that was the width of his door gap on every car he builds. Worked great and super fast
That’s why it’s art , rolling sculpture - literally , and you are an Artist Sir , no hype , no fluff . I do it this way .
Most honest builder on TV and TH-cam. Chad you honestly have inspired me to finally start doing more of my own body work on my VWs. Thanks for doing these, you should have way more subscribers!!!
Same here. Just about ready to dive into some bodywork on my bus & vw trike. Many thanks to Chad.

Chad
You are right the tools don't make the Man or woman.
It's what the person does with what little tools they have at their disposal.
Thanks Chad & Jolene! My husband & I enjoy your show.
Your method is a lot easier than mine, thanks for the door gap tip. Joleen, awesome welding and videoing. I don't know what Chad ever did with out you. Thanks for the vids.
i am learning so much from these half hour videos, thank you Chad and company..
I learned a lot from your channel more than I did from other people's you make more sense
Chad is giving the regular car guy great hints to complete their project in a reasonable amount of time and for a fair price. I find his show great fun to watch, totally Canadian type of guy. Good on you buddy.
Many thanks for showing us your techniques and tricks to quickly fabricate and finish shape your works of art. It's a pleasure watching you work!

Love your attitude and videos bud. Keep them coming.

I’ve seen it done similar but using a paint mixing stick with a razor blade taped to each side and then they run it on the door. Same concept except you do both sides at the same time. The door gap is then the thickness of the paint stick.
