Sanding body filler is a tedious process. Here are some tips, tools and techniques that help get the job done - efficiently and effectively 🔥www.hiltzautoc... #BADCHAD #HILTZAUTOCO
You have gone into so much detail building and filming these cars i feel like i am part of the build. I could if i wanted to go out and build one myself after watching all these videos
And from a small town in nova Scotia hes a cool cat ,:I built a car.from scratch by feel once and he reminds me so much of my buddy and my self we are from p.e.i ,so it's cool to see someone with similar building skills as my self ,its not saw every day
I've done a lot of this work, never as a profession though. I like that everything you show is unedited. People watch all these TV shows where one minute the car's bare metal, the next it's primered, and then ta-da! It's finished! Most don't realize how many man hours are actually involved. Keep up the good work!
Chad when doing fenders next to rivet crown. I would use a hand block...not a small squeegee but block rubber ends open to slide in paper....Just way I was taught 55 years ago.. BTW at Chevrolet the Forman asked if I knew what red putty was I said yes he said go get the tube in the store room...I got it he said been here 20 years it will be here for 20 more...we never used red putty to fill scratches or pinholes.
Got it ! ... 40 / 80 ...... it looks like that 40 year old g10 daihatsu sitting in the garage is going to get a make over now an put back on the road. Our state govt in Qld Oz has changed rego regs for vintage cars to be more easily shown on the road. Rego ~$80 / year with limited number of days on the road (log book anyone) and membership of car club. Way to go for sure re our motoring history made more visible. Thanks to you both for the good oil and enthusiasm it will happen at my place.
Chad when you do vids like this it's some of the best material to me, someone who learns best hands on, its like being in shop with you, never change my dude👍
These videos are great of you working!! Glad you have free reign with social media and are not locked to your TV show only!! Your hard work shows others what it takes to do this work and it's not easy!! Patience Patience Patience and a sense of humor helps also!! Big Fan from Connecticut!!
Jeff from Jersey here! I don't work on cars but I love watching your show. This is a continuation of your site when it's not in the air. I've passed on some of your tidbits on life to others. Keep up the great work!
Getting IT! Getting iT ! This is a great way to show clients what is involved. It's a LOT, of thankless work ! It's only a great sense of pride, at the end of the day, it's DETERMINation !
Thank you for another free lesson. I know you will fix it when you get to it, but that hump in the spine on the roof about 10" back from the windshield sticks out to me every time I can see that part of the car. Fender skirt gap is gonna really make it all come together once you are able to cut em loose, Might just be the coolest fender skirts out there. Love It.
Its friday. Watchin live in the south of England in ilfracombe, would love to hear chad saying ilfracombe England one friday. Love your ethos chad, great work
Hay my man its like a good haircut its not how much you cut off its how much you leave on that counts Jolene sure does a great job of filming hat off to both pros
MR .BAD CHAD - ALL THAT SANDING IS A LOT OF WORK- YOUR ARMS GOT TO BE VERY STRONG,AFTER OF YEARS OF SANDING- ALL I CAN SAY IS MAN CAN YOU CREATE A AUTOMOBILE: THINK YOU WERE BORN TO BUILD A CARS- I KNOW, AND I FEEL WITH IN MY SOUL- YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER AS ONE OF THE GREAT CAR BUILDERS! - I GOING TO. CALL YOU - ( MR . CAR BUIDERMAN!😎
Looking at that big place to put wheels I was thinking the bigger the better as then it gives more clearance for that big motor so I think that the big cars of old days had 21x7 but not positive.as memory goes in old age, but then that might mean purchase. Hey just bit off topic I never see the green goblin anywhere unless it’s specific video on it. This car has quite a following I think mainly due to your workmanship, as not very many people would ever put that much challenge on them selves.your doing a fine job I often wish the distance wasn’t so great as I’d like to be thereto help as well as learn. Now I’m almost changing my mind on the colour ( you’ve never yet mentioned you preference ) but I have seen some colour changing paint jobs of which they calling hyper. But it would also look fantastic in dark brown. I don’t see very many in brown it’s usually black or green or two tone. Two tone more rolls Royce but I’ve seen some Bugatti two tone ( I like single colour best tho) real tiny gold fleck dark brown is just standing way out in my mind and can picture that very easily.
Alot of times when doing sanding bondo like that i'll sand with one hand and have a shop vac in the other.....Cuts down on just blowing the dust all over the shop Kudos to Jolene for the excellent camera work despite being covered in dust
I would call that a car out of the can Ideally you don't want to finger sand but when you've done collision and bodywork and mud work for so long that you can actually sand with the palm of your hand and your fingers to get into tight corners but when prepping and sanding for paint you do not wanna use your fingers chad knows this he's a professional
I've been slowly buying the materials but I was thinking about candy apple red on top of black then two coats of clear one coat of metallic clear then an additional coat of clear
Is that a true legit type 57 Bugatti? Cuase if it is some of these guys that are talking crap about your work need to check the price tag and value of that car. Especially to entrust you to do the work you got plenty of respect in the body world then 👍
I love the tongue comment, lol, my dad used to say that if it isn’t working maybe your holding your tongue wrong! Move it to the other side and see if that works better! Lol. I have a question for you Chad. I have done a lot of bodywork in my years, nothing pro but doing the work to fix up a car was the only way I could afford to buy that car at the time. I always had the problem of the filler showing through the finished paint, even though it was not showing through the primer. I would make the repair, fill it, sand it, prime it, touch up any low spots, put on multiple coats of primer, sand it again, and when there was nothing left showing I would paint it. If it was a black or other dark colours it would come out looking ok, but the filler would show up in lighter colours as if it was on the surface! It is like the filler was absorbing everything! What is your opinion on the reason? I’m presently working on rebuilding a 69 Camaro and trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong before I get to the filler stage. I’m painting it with a candy yellow on top with a red and orange candy stripes on the sides and black bottom, and I’m concerned that those light colours will drastically show those points. After watching your work on this car, I’m thinking of doing filler over the entire car rather than just the repair points and maybe eliminate that risk.
I would be worried that some mud may crack driving the rivets. We have squeezers to prevent that. I missed the rivet install video . I was wondering if you drove them hammered them or squeezed them. What size diameter rivets did you use?
I think some round rod would look nice on top of headlight buckets. Give it some shape instead of looking like a paint can on its side. Great job so far chad
Still don't understand why you finish the filler in an 80 grit... Unless American grading is different to the UK... But 80 still leaves big scratches in the bodywork.... Anyone enlighten me?
Just finished an air boat bottom.8ft by 16 ft ,3 layers of fiberglass matting,and let me tell you brother,It was a bitch sanding that shit smooth.Had to use a big grinder with 36 grit sandpaper.☹️☹️☹️
Love you work it’s my dream to do this I may have a chance because I’m disabled now and can’t walk very long I would love to meet u some day and get a hat and have u and the wife autograph it thanks for the videos
we like to take a clean rag and lay it on the body and then place your hand on the rag and move around feeling the body work , what the rag does is kind of amazing , it magnifies what your hand is feeling , give it a try , i think you;ll like it and you will be surprised what you can feel thru the rag , give the idea a shout out once you try it and let us out here all know what you think ............. and no , the pickled egg recipe is not part of it ........ lol
How do you clean your shop after bodywork? Just wondering what you do as I notice it looks clean after some of these phases of the process. Nice work by the way!
A gritty topic!
I am going to cheer when the Bugatti moves out under its own power. This is just amazing to watch.
You have gone into so much detail building and filming these cars i feel like i am part of the build. I could if i wanted to go out and build one myself after watching all these videos
And from a small town in nova Scotia hes a cool cat ,:I built a car.from scratch by feel once and he reminds me so much of my buddy and my self we are from p.e.i ,so it's cool to see someone with similar building skills as my self ,its not saw every day
I've been doing body work for thirty some years....you're never too old to learn something new.Keep up the videos. Look forward to them every day!
I've done a lot of this work, never as a profession though. I like that everything you show is unedited. People watch all these TV shows where one minute the car's bare metal, the next it's primered, and then ta-da! It's finished! Most don't realize how many man hours are actually involved. Keep up the good work!
I spent the morning sanding primer, now i can watch Chad do it lol.
Same here. Best feeling
Yep I stopped to let filler dry. And here I am watch Chad sand.
Waiting for my bumper cover to finish cooking in the booth so I can take it home
Chad when doing fenders next to rivet crown. I would use a hand block...not a small squeegee but block rubber ends open to slide in paper....Just way I was taught 55 years ago..
BTW at Chevrolet the Forman asked if I knew what red putty was I said yes he said go get the tube in the store room...I got it he said been here 20 years it will be here for 20 more...we never used red putty to fill scratches or pinholes.
This the best camera work yet! "If you know what I'm trying to tell you" Chad you have a very calm style of teaching!
The "40 & 80 grit" tip is true pro advice. Thanks bro👍👍👍
I don't want to learn, but to watch this is calming. My wife asked me what I want to do for my 70th today...and here I am!

Great work Chad and Jolene, I’m learning heaps from the videos and starting to copy your processes on my own car. Cheers from Australia
If you don't use blocks it will be as rippley as the ocean
Well said ! Using dear Chad own analogy’s lol
Dude, Jolene needs you, at least wear a particle mask. You'll be blowing primer boogers out your nose till Monday!
Love your channel!
Getting IT! Getting iT !
This is a great way to show clients what is involved. It's a LOT, of thankless work !
It's only a great sense of pride, at the end of the day, it's DETERMINation !
True that , who can say what perfection is. The creator of his creation has done what the mind has channeled thru to complete the work of art! 👍😎
Coming along very nicely ... amazing how one can get hooked to watching Chad .... I never miss any of his videos ... an artist at work !
Thank you for another free lesson.

With all the shit going down in the world it’s nice to watch Chad. He takes your mind off things for a bit. And for that Chad I thank you.
Thanks Chad I've learnt a lot from these videos .I'm building a Amodel Ford hotrod and I'm at the bodywork stage Thanks again .
Chad is awesome... coolest accent 👨🏽🔧👍🏽🇨🇦
Enjoyed the sanding and paint prep tutorial as well as the life philosopy that's part and parcel of the presentation. A great team effort guys. 😎👍
It has a calming effect watching you work .... and the little dance at the end made me laugh...great job guys
Hello, it's friday, watching from Ireland
Thanks for the video, just added my first layer of body filler on my 65 beetle and I will do it myself, because a painter calculated € 6.000,- ..

Great video. I'm always learning from your videos. Excellent job on the camera too. Thanks for sharing this.
Chad, you are extremely talented!
This Bugatti will be gorgeous!!!👍😊
Only if I had room I would start another project.. great video Chad
I always run over the filler one last time with 220,,,,,its a lot to ask primer to fill up 80 grit sanding scratches .
I'm pretty anal about my body work too. Can relate to the 220.
Hard Work with Great Word's of Encouragement👍👍👍
Love wheat you are doing man. That’s a lot of car for one man. Going to be beautiful
Great team work on the videos, really enjoyed, thank you

Hope in the next few months we can see it go down the road. Love the Plymouth also.
Bad Chad motivational speaker ,I’d pay to hear you.
When your good, your good...and you are good LOL
When youre half as good as me, youll be good
Jolene getting great a filming good job Jolene
She is coming great Chad & Jolene....Ettore Bugatti would be proud.....:-)
Just thinking, your stock wipers will run in to the center bar, You may need to weld the wiper holes and rethink that.
Alot of times when doing sanding bondo like that i'll sand with one hand and have a shop vac in the other.....Cuts down on just blowing the dust all over the shop
Kudos to Jolene for the excellent camera work despite being covered in dust

"Like rollin' my first doobie". Love it.
More good instruction. Thank you.
Your work rate is insane
It is nice work, should look great when done.
I've been slowly buying the materials but I was thinking about candy apple red on top of black then two coats of clear one coat of metallic clear then an additional coat of clear
What a great lesson.
Hey Bad Chad is on right now in Melbourne Australia !
Can't wait, eager to see your Methodology.
Once I practiced enough I got my first doobie too.
I just bought a some wood and some brass.
another awesome video, thanks for the tips. Watching from Largo, Florida.
You gotta make shirts with Chadisms... My first recommendation is "If you know what i'm trying to tell ya"
what primer do you use to fill 80 grit scratch
My thoughts exactly!?
ITS FRIDAY...👍👍
Glorious glorious sanding 😎
Great project, I'm hooked.
Is that a true legit type 57 Bugatti? Cuase if it is some of these guys that are talking crap about your work need to check the price tag and value of that car. Especially to entrust you to do the work you got plenty of respect in the body world then 👍
Fantastic workmanship 👍💯.happy Friday to you both

Yo Bad Chad, I use to watch you in prison lol!! But I'm excited to get into this video
Hey Chad hope you and Jolene having a nice 👌 cars looking very nice
Man that reminds me to much off snow Fencing. But I like it.
Man I love the Body work, but I am not a Fan of sanding, but has to be done. !
One step at a time, using whatever works best.
Good work you two.
I would be worried that some mud may crack driving the rivets. We have squeezers to prevent that. I missed the rivet install video . I was wondering if you drove them hammered them or squeezed them. What size diameter rivets did you use?
I think some round rod would look nice on top of headlight buckets. Give it some shape instead of looking like a paint can on its side. Great job so far chad
Yes, the Mk2 Jaguar headlight uses a nice slim teardrop piece that'd look great on the buckets.
Good evening jolene and chad
Still don't understand why you finish the filler in an 80 grit... Unless American grading is different to the UK... But 80 still leaves big scratches in the bodywork.... Anyone enlighten me?
Watching from Germany
Just finished an air boat bottom.8ft by 16 ft ,3 layers of fiberglass matting,and let me tell you brother,It was a bitch sanding that shit smooth.Had to use a big grinder with 36 grit sandpaper.☹️☹️☹️
Got your work cut out😁 great video!
at what point does he start using guide coat and a block?
Thanks for Sharing... Do you Guy's know what color Jolene's Bugatti will be? Also what brand and model of Compressor do you run in your shop?
Love this guy.
Why ? he is weird
Love you work it’s my dream to do this I may have a chance because I’m disabled now and can’t walk very long I would love to meet u some day and get a hat and have u and the wife autograph it thanks for the videos
That's how to do 8 hours work in an hour! Bad Fast Chad !😎
Brad: how long before the first coat of primer.?
Looking good. You are a very patient person. So much sanding.
Cheers
we like to take a clean rag and lay it on the body and then place your hand on the rag and move around feeling the body work , what the rag does is kind of amazing , it magnifies what your hand is feeling , give it a try , i think you;ll like it and you will be surprised what you can feel thru the rag , give the idea a shout out once you try it and let us out here all know what you think ............. and no , the pickled egg recipe is not part of it ........ lol
I’m interested to hear people’s replies
My Dad was a bodyman from way back and taught me that trick
What was the body filler he used?
How do you clean your shop after bodywork? Just wondering what you do as I notice it looks clean after some of these phases of the process. Nice work by the way!
do you know you can shape with a cheeze grader. when it just starts to set. and shape with very little sanding.
I got another question what kinda primer do use 2k primer or do use epoxy sealer?
I got a question what kind fiber glass do use do use bondo glass short stand?
When you go to putting the motor in can you put it in from the bottom. Looks like a tight fit with no mounts it might be easier.
gotta remember 40/80 prime!
im here to learn.
I'm for fastest way and easiest for sure.
Did you use lead?, On the part you pointed to and said food for thought
