    I’ve never commented on you not using a mask. I worked my entire career not using a mask. I smoked for over 45 years, worked with asbestos ( when we didn’t know the damage it could do) and worked with some really nasty chemicals, all without a mask. I’m 65 haven’t smoked in just over four years. Quit first time I tried. I used the patch but that’s another story. My lungs are darker than a tire and I’m sure that the smoking had plenty to do with that but they may not have been as bad had I wore a mask more often. I have trouble walking a flight of stairs now days , please use a mask, any mask is better than no mask. I felt fine right up til I was about 59/60 then it started. Get ahead of it Chad please. Jolene if your the one that reads these comments please encourage him to wear one. Thanks😷👍🇨🇦

    Epoxy primer seals bare metal moisture won’t get under it. That’s why it’s used. You can prime it with epoxy primer and do your filler on top of it. Nothing wrong with starting with high build it works too but epoxy just goes one step further.

    I've been following the Bugatti build and everything in between since the first episode. I really appreciate how we have learned a little bit about how you have gotten to where you are now. Chad, we can see that your positive attitude and happiness hasn't always been part of your every day life. I enjoy hearing about your life lessons along the way and how you have overcome some of the shit that life throws at many of us. You've taught us how you've learned to create some really amazing builds with limited funds. I am truly thankful for that, and I think that alot of the community here following you would agree that you have shown us how anyone can do just the same without all the fancy expensive tooling and materials. You often find controversy in alot of the comments but the facts are in the quality finished product. As a fellow Canadian I am thankful that you have opened my eyes to alot of techniques that will straight up save me time and money, I'm inspired by you and this channel, keep the great content coming! And Jolene! It's so very obvious that Chad would not be the same person without you in the equation, you guys rock! I have 2 young boys who have also started to ask daddy to put "bat chat" on the TV, I am thankful they can watch something with me that I enjoy and also get to see a great example of another man being respectful with his partner, something that is hard too find in mainstream TV today. Hopefully get to travel with the family someday, a drive by hiltz auto Co. Would definitely be a great part of a road trip! Hopefully when your throwing a car show! Cheers to the both of you! Keep up the great work!

    ABS brakes are not installed for any kind of economy. They are to keep the wheels from locking up or skidding on slick surfaces and or panic stops. Brakes are most efficient at the moment just before lock up (skidding). ABS systems pump the brakes to keep them in that narrow power band of braking efficiency. ABS is never activated during normal driving conditions. They are activated by the wheel speed sensors & computer detecting millisecond differences in individual wheel speeds, outside of programmed parameters. Example: sensors detect rear wheels going 30mph and a front wheel is only going 5 mph (ABS calculates the front wheel(s) must be skidding or close to it). Additionally, if your front wheels are locked up, you can't steer.
    This is why any description of ABS usage for economy and the comparison to automotive coatings is kind of a stretch. My comments are meant to be constructive. I enjoy your videos and respect your work ethic.

      @@k.taylor262 I'm a licensed aircraft tech/ A&P ,ABS is one of the subjects I had to learn about, over decade before cars had them and was tested on by the FAA before Listening; I agree with Mr.Trucks explanation and I would like to add a bit to it. ABS was developed during WWII for military aircraft, and the systems they used were literally 100 times bigger and heavier than our current technology and their cost were way out of the automotive buyers budget then, it took over 75 years for ABS to be implemented on modern vehicles, it took time for our micro-chip technology to make it possible and cost effective. The system has no bearing or coloration to the subject matter/epoxies Chad was trying to explain.
      Chad is a great talent in the subject of body repairs and body-mods, but from this video and others I've noticed that when it comes to the drive-train and powerplants/ like we call them in the aviation i.e. engines on vehicle/cars from the past and today Chad has a lot to learn.
      My insurance company gives me a discount off my premium for having ABS, I think that's a plus, a great economic reason for my pocket and not the insurance company given me the discounted rate.

      Want to put in my 2 cents on this and see if anyone agrees. Product liability is a deep subject. Most product descriptions and product warranties are worded so that in the event of a so called product failure the manufacturer always has a way to get away from being held liable because of misuse. Been there, done it. It's never their fault. You have to use products that you are familiar with and know what methods work. To each his own..

      Polyester sticks like crazy (actually in that sense is similar to epoxy), the issue is not staying on the surface, it does a brilliant job at that level.

    Your content has been very interesting, shop work, picking and visiting other enthusiasts. Your personality that I see on TH-cam strikes me as one who has wisdom from life experience, good and bad, and has found truth about self and life and applies it. It’s always fascinating to watch creative people in action. Add to this some sharing of you and Jolene’s relationship makes for fun viewing. And no mistake it’s about the cars you make.

    I'd be happy to get a top coat to look that good. Seriously, I have learned so much from Chad and wish I had found him before I restored my classic. We do not all have the luxury of a spray booth and amazing equipment- or the skill to go with it. We also want to do the work ourselves because we get a kick out of it, even if we can't hit perfection. I've picked up loads of tips for next time. Keep it up Chad and Jolene- brilliant stuff.

    Well, that was a strange explanation. Featherfill is sort of an epoxy, because it is mixed with a hardner. What it does not do is seal out moisture, and that is what kills the paint adhesion. It would work ok I am sure for several years, if it was done in a dry shop. But epoxy is designed to be a solid moisture barrier, so no water can get to the metal at all, and why it is used on bare metal. Anyway, it will be good for years, most likely. Sanding and polishing the metal really has nothing to do with the chemistry of paint, that is the mechanical bond. Most of his stuff is good, shows good technique and so forth, but the education as to the real reasons why is sorely missing.

    • @mikeripley3266
      @mikeripley3266 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I used to see shop pile on the feather fill on a rusty sand blasted floor and wet sand it for hours. It would build and fill and make the metal look new. even add a little strength but sadly the stuff was like a sponge and water would go right thru it. A couple years later the rust was back and huge sheets of the stuff would pop off. There was another product I think amax or something that was water proof but it sanded like rock.

      @steeltree-fabricatingandcu3796 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fiberglass cars are a different animal glass is always moving feather fill is basically fiberglass it self it uses Mekp to harden it
      Two like kind materials go together better
      Butt!!! If you leave it to thick it doesn’t have glass strands to reinforce it it will crack
      You have to remove 90 % of it for it to last
      With the advent of urethane products they are so much better
      Why would you risk several hundred hours of work and use a crap product
      Yeah urethane cost more but it lasts and has uv properties that polyester doesn’t
      And it’s half the work of sanding concrete 😂

He bought cars cheap made them safe and roadworthy and maybe a set of mags and tires and he seemed to always double his money..He was Charlie Stackhouse. Owner of "STACKS garage in the early 60s.

Polish and block the bare metal before you ever apply primer or paint.if you want a perfect job (or at least as close as you can get to one)! Make no mistake, You are one of the BEST as far as I'm concerned.
