@@kellyhinkelman8591 The dog house will be able to give you access just like you open your hood you just unclip the hood and roll it back, check the fluids fill if needed and close it back up
I think you should consider one large gull wing door (as opposed to two smaller doors for a few reasons. 1) This will make accessing and showing the interior far easier! 2) This will facilitate work on the engine and allow rapid egress in case of a fire! 3) One door frame can be much more rigidly framed allowing the use of modern door actuators such as those used to open back doors of SUVs and vans. Cool project.
The hauler get sweeter every step of the way I think that some of the viewers are jumping to far ahead it's one step at a time all will come together soon enough!😎
Hi Chad, Jolene, & Doug, I like the sliding doghouse idea. If you put some insulation on the inside of the skin it would keep the heat down in the truck. I am curious like everyone else, how you plan to get air flow to the radiator. The only way that I see it happening is making a scoop that brings it up from under the truck in front of the radiator and an electric cooling fan would help too. I will just have to wait and see! Doug is really coming along as an assistant he is doing more and moreas time goes by. Jolene you are doing great work as always and you always have such good closeups that one almost forgets that you are there climbing around doing whatever you have to do to get the shot. You guys make quite the team!
Chad does not need your fin ideas, it is already done, thank you, lol. Jolene is the beauty and the brains of the operation, Chad is just a welder/grinder/metal man.
You should make the door and the engine compartment the same opening. That would currently make it 3 panels which would be too wide. But if you can make it 2 sections wide it would give you a wonderful sized door to get in, get the motor out and to get the dog box in/out as well.
From the "You learn something every day Department", I learned about the marker seeping through the paint. Thank you. I just ordered a package of the Milwaukee Markers, and I can't wait to try them out. What you and Joleen do is amazing. Every video you produce makes me that much better. Thank you for what you do.
hey chad and jolene on the door that you enter in i think it should be airplane style. clamshell the top goes up and the bottom goes down. with steps on the lower one thankslove the show im from kempner texas
maybe they could build some kind of an air duct underneath the floor behind the driver seat to push cool air into the engine bay but I don't know how that would affect the road handling of the thing and if they plan to sheet the underside of it to reduce drag as much as possible and protect it from rust dust and moisture a bit as well we will see what will happen
Great idea on the dog house and how it will roll back for excess. It looks like it will fit with the bar welded lower on the arch like you said for dog house. Go back and watch the video and you will see how it should and put it in the exact way you did in the end. Great video Chad and Jolene and Doug!!
Make the sheathing like an old Model A or T engine cover that just clamps over the frame. Then you can remove the whole thing if needed and you can bolt the top brace on like you talked about. Great camera work as usual, Jolene! Doug, you are a great help in the shop! Chad, keep up the great work!
Oh it's like a similar thing like in old vans ? Or not lol what just what do I know I'm not building the doodle bug Chad is ! Anywho I'm late and I'll watch to keep up with the progress !Thumbs-up Jolene ❤and Chad and team Hiltz
A firewall would help keep any fumes out of the cabin area and I would think this should be an absolute necessity - for safety's sake ahead of aesthetics.
I disagree, in normal cases you would be right, but the cab will be in front of the engine, not behind it, so I do not think fumes will be a problem. I would say if it was me, I would do a firewall, but as you know, Chad does things his way, and if you do not like it, it's the highway for you.
Just a suggestion, make the cover and get in by taking out a section of a rafter then repair (weld) the rafter. Once the cover is in it should never have to come out.
I wish every one would just let the man build what he wants. 98 percent of yall never done anything close to this. It's a video..and it's made to watch. I think he knows what's going on.
No amount of cooling fans will cool that engine if there is not enough open area for it to get the outside air it needs. As a builder and long time mechanic of more than 52 years I'm telling you that this is NOT going to work, but it doesn't make any difference, it will never see the road long enough to get it hot anyway.
Skill is amazing! Have it a telescoping 2 piece dog house. The first one from firewall to end of engine slides over the back and 2 piece Could make the back similar shape of back of vehicle. Make the back quick release rather than sliding and front on track as you will mostly need access under the front
Really have a good production going on today great video and awesome teaching from you guys I appreciate you taking the time to share your talents and your knowledge it means a lot to me and many viewers like always say art work amazes me every👁️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You have no airflow for cooling Chad, you need to build a airflow tunnel from the grill to the rad then down after the dog house over the trans as doing a flat end on the dog house will course back pressure fouling air flow, it needs to be a smooth transition of air all the way through. Loving it so far
I was under the impression bead rolling is primarily to add rigidity to the metal. Sure it looks good but without it the metal would sound like a drum kit going down the road. All the bends in the materials of a car add strength. Some shape adds beauty but more importantly provide strength to structure. We add cross breaks in air ducting for rigidity. Without it, every time the fan comes on the duct would expand and make banging noise. Then the same when the fan turns off, the duct collapses and makes noise. Anything over 6 inches with 30 gauge sheet metal needs cross break or bead bends for rigidity (strength). It is true these bead rolls being only around the edges will not add as much strength as it would offer with additional bead rolling in the center section of the panel. Several sections of bead rolling in each panel would also look better aside from adding considerably more rigidity or strength.
i was thinking the same thing! its gonna overheat and get very hot under there, also what about air flow to the air box, if he has it under there its gonna suck up hot air, motor won't like that!
Build the Dog House as 2 pieces. A left half and a rIght half, sheet both. Have tabs on the bottom edge of each piece that plug into slots in the floor. Put the passenger side piece in, put the driver side piece in place, and have clamps on the top that locks the top closed. No need to slide, just remove both halves to give greater access to the interior.
I hope all the body metal will be coated with primer or undercoating before welding over them like the bumpers, or rust will attack immediately from the inside out.
@@Jerry-up8bk I don't remember saying before you weld, , after you weld, spray any areas that will be covered over by another piece or it will rust out fast. I'm 30yrs in autobody, believe me it will start rusting especially if water and dirt gets up into those cavities.
As the Bugatti Hauler build advances along, I am impressed at CHAD's talent and creativity as I watch his vision take shape. It will be one exciting day to actually see this vehicle fire up and see Chad and Jolene driving down the road in their newest custom creation.
Make the cover concertina, in four sections. The front piece number 1, would cover 2, 3, 4. Make installing and working on the motor a whole lot easier
Instead of welding your sheet metal to outer frame, mount it to the square stock and put 2 snap buckles on bottom of each side and 2 snap buckles at top. The 2 on top will hold the 2 sides together while the 2 on each side of bottom will keep it in place. Basically there will be 2 separate pieces of square stock at top that sheet metal will be welded to and will buckle to one another when closed and it comes off with the firewall which will eliminate having to have that piece of square you cut off put back on. It would eliminate having to put wheels on it to and the frame can be welded in place. I hope you understand what I'm writing. Just a thought
You should have added louvers to the front piece to help keep the engine cooler. Even at that it should still have some kind of air flow to the radiator from the outside. Maybe from underneath the vehicle some kind of air scoop into a tunnel. Also it will need an exit out of the doghouse for good constant airflow.
You guys are moveing right along on it,it’s kinda slow going with this tedious stuff on the close interior,I’m just watching,,hi Jolene an fina,,luv ya’s,,👍👍😀
Hey Chad why not make a radiator tunnel tapering up from behind the top of the seat back area to the front of the dog house. Remove the front sheet from the front fixed frame of the dog house giving ample air space to the radiator. This boxes in the floor pan over the axle and brake servo, something that needs to be done anyway. Metal sheet could then be used to box in the gap behind the seats from tunnel to cab floor making a solid metal fire wall keeping safety to a max. As long as you can force enough air over the engine it will flow out and away from the engine just as it would with any dog house cover fitted in utility vehicles. Two decent electric fans could do this easy. A little flap door could be fitted beside the brake servo too to gain access for master cylinder/ servo repairs when needed. That's probably the way id go. Great so see real artistry from you and your queen. Keep it up and keep moving forward. Peace.
Chad will you need some vents and duct to bring cold air to the radiator, can put in wheel arches or make a feature of louvres on the body to bring air to radiator so engine keeps cool , love the show love you guys
Also are u gonna have an issue with fumes and heat in side the vehicle, not criticising just wondering, but I’m guessing it’s more for show than a Daily runner , be cool as a Daily , I’d love to go work in it
Fresh air has to come from the top or bottom and exit out of the doghouse. Pusher fans would be nice to help in heavy traffic or parades. HVAC flexible or steel fab ductwork is a possibility in and out the doghouse. Some cars had deflectors on the bottom to push air up through the radiator. But a cool scoop on the top would be awesome too. Just a suggestion, its your project not mine...Love watching it come together though. Its a LOT of WORK, I know...
IF you make the door/hatch to climb into the hauler 4' wide or even 3' and have it hinge upwards so you can climb into and out of the hauler it would make it much easier. Having your door and doorway built would be a really good thing to do now so in the future things would help in future parts of the build. It would be in your best interest to make it wide enough to make it bg enough just in case you need to have the dog house so it could come out in case you need to make it easier to work on the engine. It's always easier to plan ahead instead of leaving it to chance. Of course it's up to you ...... !!!! The door and door way need to be figured out sooner than later though.. Take what you want throw away what you don't !!!!!!
The engine cover center Bar could be bolted in with a Bolt put into a nut fixed in the end of the square tube from the front cover and rear cover then it could be easily removed. Then you have to duct some cold air into that radiator.. Looking Good
Hi Chad how about if you make the engine cover in 3 pieces, the one you have with a squarestock low on both sides and then make the sheathing to bolt on both sides joined at the top in the middle. That way you can install the frame first then bolt on both sides. Just a thought.
The dog house is 40 inches. Take the last center brace set it at 20 inches. Make two pieces for the dog house 19.5 inches. That way you can still get the look you are after.
Of Carpet down on the whole floor. Sorry it took three separate comments to get my message out but I have Parkinsons disease and my memory comes and goes. Well ok all my love to you and your queen 👑 great work always bud keep on keeping on.
Mr heffy l apologize to offend you.l read allot of titles given to chad.He has skills to get out of predicaments he gets himself into he really amazes me how he does this however I think of a coach builder as someone who is proficient in using English wheels,sprinklers and stretchers. I don't think he even has beanbag and mallet. Don't get me wrong he is very talented I think coach builder's have different kind of skills. If you want to go to a dictionary you are completely right . Again if I offended you I apologize
@@ThomasBarnes-ev9hz no offence to me, perhaps an apology to Bad Chad. Easy ti critic someone else's craft skills .... acti non verba actions better than words. Have a lovely day
Hey listen make it in two pieces bottom with the rollers then the top ( hood) bolt it or latch it you will need to be able to get it out if need be I know it’s more metal but it’s important
You could bolt the center beam on and run two piano hinges on either side of the center beam that hinge down and latch at the bottom like model T hood but rounded. Then you would be able to disassemble the whole dog house and take it out of your back hatch if needed
You need too ditch the fan clutch and only use large radiator cooling fans. You can’t use them both. A large ram air roof intake and a exhaust vent to the rear may help. You also need a transmission cooler with s electric fan.👌
Chad / Hinge down the center of the dog house like the old hoods and hinge the passenger side so the unit folds away from the engine and you will need better air flow for the radiator, unit will overheat in stop and go traffic
Chad, if you leave that piece in front of the radiator that engine will overheat there is no air circulation for the radiator
You should move it forward about a foot and then create some duct to force the air up into the front of the radiator!
@@Lucky_Red_Fish all chad has to do is enclose the front ot the radiator and it will draw through the radiator. only needs 75mm s in front of then radiator
I suggest hinging the doghouse on the right hand side, so you have access to the engine.
How about leaving the firewall and making the rest of the doghouse sliding back so you can go to the engine.
That's what I was thinking
Doug is a pretty good helper.
Waiting to see how ur going to provide a cool air intake system and provide an exit for engine heat out !
Bottom intake and exit possible .
Make door to check oil water access.
It will need air circulation for the rad to do it's job. A car has a grill, this is a closed up box.
@@lukeandjilljelsma654The under said is open it's not a closed box

I'm wondering the very same thing regarding the cooling and combustion air.

we will see what will happen
how will you get enough air flow to cool the engine?
Sounds great, my question is, how is your radiator going to get air to keep your engine cool?
If I were to take a guess, that hauler will go from the garage to the storage building, so no need for safety and cooling, etc.

Tremendous amount of work for a tiny amount of beauty
Not paying attention to the air needed though the Radiator. Its going to run hot! Radiator should be in the front of the truck with electric fans
You're going to have to seal it so you don't get exhaust gasses in the truck cab
Just my thoughts, but I think a louvered front fire wall and the rolled bead in the back. Just thinking you would get more air flow to radiator.

Hey listen make it in two pieces bottom with the rollers then the top ( hood) bolt it or latch it you will need to be able to get it out if need be I know it’s more metal but it’s important
Looks good Chad ! I met you guys in Toronto with candies for Jolene
You could bolt the center beam on and run two piano hinges on either side of the center beam that hinge down and latch at the bottom like model T hood but rounded. Then you would be able to disassemble the whole dog house and take it out of your back hatch if needed
I'm sure you have many hurdles to jump but I have no doubt it all will be figured out eventually....but its looking good guys...😊..cya ya tomorrow
Lol don’t forget your air flow needed for the radiator
THAT IS A GREAT TOOL I HAVE ONE.I USED IT ON MY 1964 DWARF IMPLA SS CONVERTABLE
You need too ditch the fan clutch and only use large radiator cooling fans. You can’t use them both. A large ram air roof intake and a exhaust vent to the rear may help. You also need a transmission cooler with s electric fan.👌
tilt cab would be cool for this to get in and out
Chad do you have any ideal what the weight of the build will be when finished all that metal wow😬
Chad / Hinge down the center of the dog house like the old hoods and hinge the passenger side so the unit folds away from the engine and you will need better air flow for the radiator, unit will overheat in stop and go traffic
Van engine covers are air tight. How will a cover that rolls on skate wheels be air tight and prevent fumes from entering???
Hi Chad and Jolene, Doug from Trois-Rivieres Quebec
I like the engine cover. 😎👍 Great job guys
Now you just need to make sure there is sufficient air circulation to the engine..
Great job team.
Some kinda a ball earring roller would be nice to make it roll back
