    Chad, I love watching your videos! You are so talented, you remind me of my dad, he made everything when he built cars, bodywork, upholstery, painted them himself. I look forward to a new video every day!!

    Its amazing to see that the more people watch you at work, the less they seem to understand about how you work. Never change Chad I watch a lot of different youtubers and none can hold a candle to your work ethic and the excellent products you turn out. I guess the old saying applies " those who can do those who cant criticize. Have a great weekend Chad, Jolene and Fina

      I'ld like to think that first and foremost we are here for entertainment reasons, I didnt know Chad prior to seeing him on this TH-cam account, never knew he did a T.V show, Chad is always saying we are here to learn and teach, which I personally really like, he shows you ways of doing things, not saying I personally agree with it all, as sometimes there are better ways or should I say nicer ways of doing things, Chad himself isnt beyond learning things himself, he would agree with that himself, I dont read other peoples comments usually, because I dont care what other people think of him.

    " What did you do that for? because that is what I do." Yes it is, Chad.. I want to Thank you both for your hard work ethic to get a episode out each and every day. Your channel is becoming one of my all time favorite Channels to watch. You got a unique gift Chad and I appreciate what you do and what you are willing to share with us. So yeah I just want to say, thanks again. Happy Bday Jimbo, have a good one.
    The idea to use the skins from the doors was a great idea, the truck looks original with those lines continuing from the doors right around to the back of the truck. Plus it don't have to purchase extra metal, smart move Chad.

    Chad can you comment on the use of the grinder? Specifically I would like to know the difference on using a cutoff wheel vs a grinding wheel? I have a cordless Ryobi grinder and it states you can only use a grinding wheel not a cutoff wheel. I use it for grinding but at times I would like to cut through metal like when you cut the square metal stock...could I use the grinder or do I need a specific cutoff tool? I see you use two in the shop. Also, the camera work and how Jolene captures the action is awesome!

  • @justinlucero6652
    @justinlucero6652 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Aw Chad u could of use the whole door just join together and make a round bottom meet together in middle and tack it together and the round bottom door will fit the transmission on the floor and u can cover up the middle round with metal and then use the other metal for the cab corners but ok I see what you did on this one. Thumbs up Chad 👍

  • @kimberlywilliams9757
    @kimberlywilliams9757 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    We also use door skins and other parts of donor vehicles for our builds as well and it saves tons of money on sheet metal. I believe in using everything you possibly can from the scrap you have just laying around the yard.

  • @willwade1101
    @willwade1101 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've noticed that you break saw blades for your recip saw at the attachment point. A way to salvage those blades is to grind a new tang onto the blade. It does shorten the blade some but it extends their life and with the price of blades these days that is important.

    • @brucewitcpalek5120
      @brucewitcpalek5120 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@kimberlywilliams9757 I do watch him quite often but the difference is he has hundreds of thousand dollars worth of equipment so when you put something on a CNC it’s a whole lot easier than when you fabricate with a grinder and a torch. And again that’s why I like bad Chad so much more because he’s old school and you don’t need much money to do what he does.

    They have pretty cool magnet rulers/straight edge that makes it easier to get a straight line on metal. The truck cab is coming out great 👍🏽. Yup use all the metal from the car you can.
    That's what most would do it already has the body lines. You may very well still have to with the coner cab lines? You'll have to roll out the panel's on the English wheel then roll the panel lines I'm guessing that's how it's done? "Just guessing."

    Might look even cooler if it was?
