Chad's technique on the old Ford Shoebox seems to make a lot of sense to me the way he explains it. Like he says you can adopt it if it works for you or throw it away if it doesn't. Nathan mechanical ability and welding skills are fantastic in realign the rear end and balancing the ford drive shaft to line up and tie into the GM Transmission. Doug is doing an incredible job removing the shocks and etc. and tidying up the frame. Jolene's filming really tells all the story.
Hey a dial indicator has a magnetic base and adjusts to accurately preform this job it only costs a few bucks at harbor freight. So much easier for you guys
@@SamFBMI’m sure that car will be able to go 70mph on the freeway no problem. The eyeballed the angle with no angle finder that’s what would scare me lol
Nathan has been an invaluable addition to the shop as has Doug. The ideas that come from them are helpful in the progress of the projects. When Chad said I’m holding the light it brought back memories of doing the same for my dad and uncle when they worked on their cars. Everyone must have that memory from childhood. 👍👍🇨🇦
No disrespect, but you are a body and fab guy and Nate is more on the mechical side. You have the best of all worlds. And Doug is invaluable because every shop needs a Doug. Ontario fan
You guys should bring Nathan an Doug to one of those big car shoe and have shirts reading team Bad Chad team Hillz a recognition for there help nathaian is an awesome fabricated never gets mad Well love the team keep building kind regards craigger ont
One little trick I use is when priming I add a few drips of tinter into last coat mix, helps with blocking back, like guide coat on how deep your into your primer..
Things are just moving along...more i look at the ford the more i love it...that 8 inch chop just...damn it looks cool...got a great team with nate and doug on board..the channel has improved leaps and bounds...just a great channel...cyas tomorrow 😊
The ford is looking amazing that primer is something else looks so flat and perfect. Seeing so much going on in the shop is great and Jolene don’t miss a thing. Keep up the good work guys and gal can’t wait to see the cars done.
Great work today. Love the way the shops work is being delegated and different projects are pushing thru. Nates capabilities continue to impress. Seems like there is nothing your team can't do. Watching work with the primer on the car. The detail work is amazing. The 50 Ford is going to turn out great. Hardly looks like the car you started with she is so stretched out. Good luck going forward.
Great work on the drive shaft ,i'll be using those tips on the next one i do! Thats a simple way to find the run out on the shaft as well. Nate is a heck of a hand.thanks guys
Just love it when Chad , Doug and Nate are all talking at the same time and Jolene is filming one of them and we have the soundtrack of everyone. There is always something interesting to watch when the shop is full .
Hey! Great job all around! This project is nearing it's destination and looking forward to the painted finally! Great job again Jolene on the camera and hey Fina girl.
Every Drive Shaft "is" balanced at the factory. Every shop that builds drive shafts balance them before shipping out to the customer. If you are going to drive 35 mph, you might get by with a half way job, but not at road speed. Every drive shaft must have a few degrees of angle or it will fail. Engine torque to the rear end is only for seconds after start and the train returns to operating mode.
I use automotive glazing putty for the final touch ups and fill ins. It dries fast and sands beautifully. I want to reach right though and help do some of the little things but I'm in Michigan!
my name is cliff, i love watching you work on your car!s. i caint wait to see the 1950 ford, after you paint it. Martinsville Virginia. keep the good work going.
Gotta say you have a good crew in Nathan and Doug. The knowledge and work ethic between them both is tremendous. Thats the kind of guys you want in your shop. Just the respect that everyone has for each other and their craft is awesome. And its funny to me that people will say that chad isnt a good body man and painter cause he dont block out a car. Well guess what he found a way to get it done faster and better for him to use the DA. And that works for him. Like he says all the time "if you like something keep it but if you dont throw it way" and hes also said many of times make sure you do what you want to do on your projects. You dont have to do it his way. Hes just showing us that it can be done a different way and still have the same result. And for the people who hate and say Chad couldnt build a car like some of these other well known builders can is just not true. Just cause he dont want to spend thousands amd thousands of dollars on one car doesnt mean that he couldn't do it or be just as good if not better than them. Chad shows you can get the same results working out of a small garage and not all these fancy tools and shit. And another thing that kills me is they say hes slow. For one hes explaining as he goes so that takes away some of the time but im sure when the Camara goes off hes fast as hell. So really think to yourself before you come on here and bash him. Anyways awesome video Jolene!!!
Watching you guys work has helped boost my confidence in working on my own car. Yesterday I successfully changed my lower control arms. Keep up the good work!
Nathan doesn't waste any time in getting something done. Doug is knocking out the garnish moulding. Chad is getting the body closer to paint and Queen Jolene making sure to get it all on camera. Fina is being the supervisor.
I notice that when the welding was going on, the circuit kept tripping. I put a 20 Amp circuit for just the welder. Research that I did called for it so I have a couple just set for welding. Love the work on both cars. Keep up the good work.
Yes you can shorten the driveshaft yourself but the yolk cap has to be welded square and true to the tube and it will need to be balanced. The pinion angle needs to be at least 2 degrees down at ride height. If you don't do those things you will probably have problems.
I have repaired cars that had driveshafts fail at highway speed, massive damage to occupants and car, not something to take lightly when doing modifications/repairs, leave it to an expert!
@DonWesenberg You are correct a driveshaft is actually a precision part and should be left to an expert. Too many things can go wrong. Close enough is not good enough.
Well I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that has an electrical breaker that blows whenever you use your welder to long. I know your pain. I can use my welder for about 30 seconds at a time and I have to let it cool. What I found out is that if I plug my welder into a power bar with a breaker on the power bar that will trip first then I don't have to keep running back and forth across the shop to throw the breaker back on. I can just reach down and press the tab on the power bar
Good job on the driveshaft. I changed running gear on 56 F100 and had to shorten driveshaft a bit and I could feel a slight vibration beyond highway speed limit. I had to get it balanced at a local machine shop but you’ll probably be ok if you keep your speed down !!
I agree with you, 35 years as a painter, I used to argue with everyone that could use a DA and still get a nice flat surface, some people said you needed a foot long block, I never agreed with them
You got a good method there Champ.This baby's gonna look sweet! I think a nice champagne color would look classy on her. I can't wait to see what Queen Jolene picks. Ok time for the Superbowl. I bet KC and over parlay +1.5 and 46.5. 🤞 😉✌
As I understand it the angle of the front and rear U-joint have to have the same angle, to cancel out vibration. a constant velocity joint does not need this consideration.
Only if your cut on the tube is 100% true. Also if u butt that shoulder right up to the tube you have nowhere to lay a nice weld and your yoke will twist out with any kind of torque applied.
Angle is so debated over the years, but I go with trans and rear end being parallel and the driveshaft at 3 or 4 degrees. this may require trans mount modification and pinion angle saddle modifications.
3 or 4 degrees? It’s almost nothing…(less than a “minute” on an analog clock, which is 6 degrees) Why is it so critical since the drive line slides in an out of the transmission anyway? 🤔
Awesome measuring stick, especially that it folds, I've got that long ass 1x1 wooden stick at work very annoying, thanks for sharing brother Mike Aloha and have a great week
Hi Everyone. Have you considered powder coating chrome color or using Pc spray instead of chrome plating. You can even powder over rust. Would save a lot of prep at a fraction of the cost.
All of Team Hiltz were introduced to the Old School Body Shop and Mechanical Methods in the backyard garages with minimal tools . Which worked with a lot of patience and trial and error. Which is a great teacher.
Chad The drive shaft line up truck is interesting and I think it’s lined up really well as a pipefitter I think you could you could cut the shaft off square up the shaft and square up the end of the shaft and weld it on the bench.I know of a van that the drive shaft that was out of balance and would wear out a drive shaft every 30k miles. Nathan method I m sure does work Nice video Chad
Chad ha e you ever thought about a wide body for a 84 to 88 ford t bird they have always had a skinny tire and the best hood was 88 for the turbo bird i like the v8 rumble myself i think there are body mods and maybe a tilt o f the front windshield i have always liked the back widow on the t bird and the fairmont witch is a fox bot as along withe ltd 2 sedan and wagon some felow put a mustang clip in the front of a fairmont wagon making it a mustang wagon.
Team Hiltz is rockin & rollin on the cars, everyone seems happy to be back at it! Chad I am excited to hear that your intension is to paint the Ford before you leave for Australia! I sure found the driveshaft work by Nate to be really interesting aligning the shaft that he cut off and is welding back together. Doug is going to have the front end of the Terraplane looking like a million bucks before the engine goes in! Jolene doing a great job on the video as always and I am curious to see what color combination she decides on!

yep what i was thinking too. although for on old car like this which struggles to get to highway speed im sure its not toally needed.
@@SamFBMI’m sure that car will be able to go 70mph on the freeway no problem. The eyeballed the angle with no angle finder that’s what would scare me lol
Would be a good investment if he's going to lower vehicle.

The amount of work chad gets done in an hour is awesome. He gets it done and explains as he goes. I dont miss an episode. Seriously
I really like the way you guys still use a lot of old school ways of doing the job. There is no school like old school. Bill
No disrespect, but you are a body and fab guy and Nate is more on the mechical side. You have the best of all worlds. And Doug is invaluable because every shop needs a Doug. Ontario fan
And that's why he hired him... Chad has always said he don't do mechanics word unless it's just bolt on
uh, he knows that, so not sure why you bothered to say it….
You guys should bring Nathan an Doug to one of those big car shoe and have shirts reading team Bad Chad team Hillz a recognition for there help nathaian is an awesome fabricated never gets mad Well love the team keep building kind regards craigger ont

Watching the Bad Chad team has helped me rev up to repair my 78 naked Goldwing this spring. ❤

Everything is going nicely on both cars. Well done!👍👍
So glad to see the engine mounts on the block - the correct place to have them (in my humble opinion).
Great work on the drive shaft ,i'll be using those tips on the next one i do! Thats a simple way to find the run out on the shaft as well. Nate is a heck of a hand.thanks guys
You're amazing Mr Chad following your body/paint work technique has made me go to 25 % beginner to 100% confidence. Thank you.
Never ever get rid of them Ramshorn manifolds Chad , those are Gold 👍

I have built a couple driveshafts in my lifetime and it is somewhat easy if you take your time to measure and clock counterweights and such.
Every Drive Shaft "is" balanced at the factory. Every shop that builds drive shafts balance them before shipping out to the customer. If you are going to drive 35 mph, you might get by with a half way job, but not at road speed. Every drive shaft must have a few degrees of angle or it will fail. Engine torque to the rear end is only for seconds after start and the train returns to operating mode.
Can't believe how many people on youtube instruct how to do driveshafts and they do it wrong. What this man said!
Nathen has the experience and mechanical knowledge to just know how to solve problems . Very , very impressive.
all 4 of you make a good team and i am happier than crap ya didnt pound this driveshaft like the last one i saw you attempted to do
I use automotive glazing putty for the final touch ups and fill ins. It dries fast and sands beautifully. I want to reach right though and help do some of the little things but I'm in Michigan!

This is great. I plan on shortening my driveshaft this weekend coming up. Truing it up in the car should work just fine. Thanks Smitty
I'm glad to see Nate changed the engine mounts on the Hudson good job ....he's an asset to your business and good job on the drive shaft allso
Nathan doesn't waste any time in getting something done. Doug is knocking out the garnish moulding. Chad is getting the body closer to paint and Queen Jolene making sure to get it all on camera. Fina is being the supervisor.
Fina is in charge of security as well.😂
The four of you and the shop mascot make a fantastic team. I look forward to every shop show
car is truly lookin great im sure its going to look a showpiece thats up to Chads standard
Good see y’all back enjoyed the videos of thecars great job Jolene thank you

Nice job on the drive shaft Nate. Hi Doug Fina and Jolene.
I would suggest replacing the breaker to just 5 amps higher to help with the tripping problem. Shouldn't hurt to go a little higher.
So glad to see the new design on the motor mounts. Look great.
Good job on the driveshaft. I changed running gear on 56 F100 and had to shorten driveshaft a bit and I could feel a slight vibration beyond highway speed limit. I had to get it balanced at a local machine shop but you’ll probably be ok if you keep your speed down !!
Absolutely awesome work by all of you please keep the videos coming love it.
Nathan........I have so many shirts and jackets with the holes in the same place, welding and grinding scars. 👍

Aaaah…ok…I wasn’t sure if it was some sort of code. Have a great week Sir, and thanks for the explanation 👍
Good information on body work. Thank you
Keep inspiring Chad nice work . Coppery orange colour ❤❤ 2:15
The Ford looks so good! Really good!
Would like to see this become a Tangerine 🍊 Dream 👍 Go for it Team Hiltz 👁 🐅 👌
Definitely Royal Blue with a tan or beige interior
It’s looking good slowly, but surely is looking good
Watching you from Scotland 🏴 UK 🇬🇧
As I understand it the angle of the front and rear U-joint have to have the same angle, to cancel out vibration. a constant velocity joint does not need this consideration.
If the u-joint is properly removed from the driveshaft, there is a turned shoulder that will align and square up inside the end of the shortened tube.
Only if your cut on the tube is 100% true. Also if u butt that shoulder right up to the tube you have nowhere to lay a nice weld and your yoke will twist out with any kind of torque applied.
Ingenious way to see if the drives haft is balanced 😮
Chad Lambo orange would look awesome cheers fron L.A California
Another amazing show everyone
Another classic car build by team Hiltz 🏆🏆🏆
its sure looking pretty chad,, moveing right along on it, saying hi to the whole crew,,great job,
Great informative video today! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Everyone. Have you considered powder coating chrome color or using Pc spray instead of chrome plating. You can even powder over rust. Would save a lot of prep at a fraction of the cost.
Keep up the great work team learning off you and great filming great content
nathan is a keeper
I hit the refresh and got the thumbs up button so i smashed it!!
This crawling iunder a car takes a different breed 😂. I’m a carpenter and we do hard to reach stuff but this is different💪
All of Team Hiltz were introduced to the Old School Body Shop and Mechanical Methods in the backyard garages with minimal tools . Which worked with a lot of patience and trial and error. Which is a great teacher.
I’m a carpenter as well . I can’t crawl around on the ground anymore getting to old for that. Much easier if I’m standing up right
Chad The drive shaft line up truck is interesting and I think it’s lined up really well as a pipefitter I think you could you could cut the shaft off square up the shaft and square up the end of the shaft and weld it on the bench.I know of a van that the drive shaft that was out of balance and would wear out a drive shaft every 30k miles. Nathan method I m sure does work Nice video Chad
I know it would cost a little but it would be nice if you could take Doug and Nathan on one of your trips.
Sweet custom driveshaft mod!!
How deep a grove hole do ya have to fill when ya reweld the driveshaft back together ?
Great variety
Great video thank you.
Nathan ............ Legend !!
Like the team there's over 100 years of fixing stuff 😊
Awesome thanks for sharing your knowledge Chad. Much appreciation ❤
Pastel Green on the 50 Ford.
Great information on drive shaft, almost ready for the engine, that was quick. The rear bumper on the 50 looks good that way
Good to see you back to work
Hi, doing a fantastic job as always, (need to do something about 3 mikes at same time) the drive shaft technique looks good!
Every shop needs a Doug!!
3 degrees up at the diff, and 3 degrees down at the transmission. you also have to keep the transmission output shaft and pinion parallel.
did doug get the yard shoveled out for ya's..... looked pretty deep in the last video.
Wonderful suspension story
I think a light blue would look nice maybe a white roof !
Great job guys, you are a fantastic team 😎👍
Great fly by balancing!
Do you use an interface pad on DA for this kind of job?
Chad ha e you ever thought about a wide body for a 84 to 88 ford t bird they have always had a skinny tire and the best hood was 88 for the turbo bird i like the v8 rumble myself i think there are body mods and maybe a tilt o f the front windshield i have always liked the back widow on the t bird and the fairmont witch is a fox bot as along withe ltd 2 sedan and wagon some felow put a mustang clip in the front of a fairmont wagon making it a mustang wagon.
For the 50-- do the " Winfield Fade".. Black and platinum silver.. like Gene did with the Jade Idol,
Coming Along nicely Guys Good job Nate
Team Hiltz is rockin & rollin on the cars, everyone seems happy to be back at it! Chad I am excited to hear that your intension is to paint the Ford before you leave for Australia! I sure found the driveshaft work by Nate to be really interesting aligning the shaft that he cut off and is welding back together. Doug is going to have the front end of the Terraplane looking like a million bucks before the engine goes in! Jolene doing a great job on the video as always and I am curious to see what color combination she decides on!
I think it's time for Nathan and Doug to start up their own channel, what a great team Thay would make..
that aussi shep dog is totally chill!
Paint it baby blue. With white roof.
cream or black interior…
would look Fkn Mint 👌🏾
What a great team !!
