The hood and deck lid should fit just fine. The seat may have to go. Chad has this under control for sure. Jolene is working her magic with the video. Doug is a great addition to the shop.
Need to add shims between hinge and bonnet which will lower the bonnet. As the hinges are in a slot, the shim will lower the front of the bonnet and allow the bonnet to open without hitting in the middle front, also the gaps will then be able to be made smaller😊
@@barrybloggs9474 With cars that have the pocket style of hinges, by adding a shim it effectively lowers the bonnet. Shims were actually fitted as part of the manufacturing process on doors bonnets etc. the hinges where mounted to the car adjusts the height to raise the bonnet, whilst the shims lower the bonnet.
Fina was inspecting the back seat ...she is a good girl never gets in trouble..... Jolene have you.taken a ride in your corrvette yet.that is a very pretty cool car.🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗😁😁😁😁
Chad and Jolene the Tbird is shaping up most of the cars in the fifty’s and sixty’s the back rest of the seat is installed first and fastened at the bottom then the bottom seat goes in and the interior side panels are mounted in first before the seat goes in
Its going together, youre fighting 50s Ford build quality or lack of it and somebody else pulled it apart and reassembled it already. Doug is a real handy guy to have around an extra pair of hands that has a clue is awesome.
Very good all going well Doug is a very handy chap to have about. Well done with the camera Jolene. I did notice poor Jolene try to give Chad some of advice about fitting the seat which Chad made a joke of, good advice may I say! Cheers from the UK.
Great on the back seat chad,,no worry’s on any leg room, it looks great an I think no one will be rideing back there anyway other then fina,,Doug is good help,,hi to Jolene an fina,,luv you guys,,👍👍😀
Nailed it Chad. The portholes look great now as they are aligned with the side and rear window, No doubt in my mind. Thank you, take care and peace out!!
Chad,,,,,, that right side bracket, just rim the holes a little longer then you can lower the bracket more. Great job videoing Jolene/ Nice you have Doug helping.
Hi Chad and Jolene….calling from the UK. North east England…just to let you know, I watch your tube videos every morning with my breakfast. You start my day. The ‘Bird’ is coming along nicely….love the colour black but Jolene’s idea is the best.
Chad I know that you will do it and do it right and I have all the confidence in you that it will be done and done right. Jolene I want to say hi to you and you are doing a great great job with the camera. I wish you all a 3 a blessed evening and night. God bless
Doug is in the house ! Hi Doug! Chad your hood fits ! It came off so it has to go back on you didn't change anything . But lining it up is sometimes a hard thing to do . My experience with it is try not to over think it Justus it on then decide if it needs adjustments .Thumbs-up guys have a great day I'll be back tomorrow Jolene !
Chad you may find that the pivot point of the hood where there is a bolt or a rivet is worn and needs to be replaced. That causes the hood to bee higher than it should be. Worth a check.
I painted a car black then black flake. It looked black in the shade, and wow in the light. You both can be happy. Dodge had a 2006 srt8 Charger Black pearl small chip flake color that really popped under streetlights. You could always add more chip when mixing.
Throw a couple of axle stands under the rear frame, that squeak would have driven me bonkers days ago. Its a short drive these days. LOL I'm surprised your putting in the back seat, but it will be a great place for Fina. I think people would be hitting their heads on the rear glass, if not, it will be real close. Looking better all the time. Let Doug paw through the bolts buckets, he may find shims that go on the hood hinges and the same for the trunk.
It is really coming together Chad and Jolene. The benefit of Doug helping you guys out is definitely a bonus. He is really achieving. I am in Awe of what you are doing. It looks Amazing.
That's what I think but a lace job. Super fast cheap and totally different then what he does. It would give a whole vibe to it. Then do the wheels in same charcoal color.
Thunderbird’s always have a large gap. Especially front hinged hinges Even British classic cars triumph,Jaguar,MG Aston Martins. You are good on gap Chad
the fact that the back seats and everything fits perfect is insane' Chad is a wizzard with these chop jobs' looks great cant wait to see paint laid on this beauty
Chad and jolene I think that was cool the way you got the back seats to fit back into the car its saved you a lot of your time not having to make some to fit in. It's a shame that the people who tuck the hood off hadn't drilled the hindges it would have been so much easier to get the hood back in the right place. Keep up the great work the both of you 👏 👍
The back window looks great now I like it much much better kinda looks like a 57 Ranchero back window looks great man and the portholes just added to the job completely very good my hats off to you and Julian wanna job congratulations a job you should be real proud of have a nice evening
your trying to fit hood to fenders Chad. Try fitting fenders to hood. Try using 1/8" spacers to begin. hood center needs to be at or slightly below the front cowel
Chad you need to take the bottom of the set out and then you can put the back of the set in first then you can put the bottom of the seat back in place and it will work just fine and the upper panel will fit back in to place
Paint it,... any color,...just paint it 😉. I was so looking forward to a Bad Chad painted vehicle (completed) after Chad got back from Australia. The completed cars there look fantastic.
It's cool that tall you lost was the package self. This will look factory once it's done because it is factory parts. If I remember right you have a set of full seat covers that came with the car too if they need to get changed.
Another trick is to open the hood all the way up until you feel resistance then 😊 force the hood up by pushing up the rear. This will spring the hinge thus lowering the hood in front. Works on doors that stick out beyond the front fender line.
Chad , take rachet straps. Put one in each side of the back of the hood. Run the straps down the hood to the front the down to the bottom of the radiator support. Then tighten them . Thiis will bring the front of the hood down where it needs to be and the hood will clear the front panel when you open it.
No doubt in my mind you are the man Chad. Driver's door needs to be installed to check that alignment then possibly raise front of fenders. Just my opinion. Enjoy watching everyday.
A great man once said if you really love what you do it's like you never work a day in your life And Chad talented as he is proving just that... with is queen Jolene... too...😊
Without shimming those bolts on the hood you have the hood front set to it’s highest. A couple of washers if you can get them in would drop it a least a 1/4 if not a piece of flat bar slid in the hinge holders would work before bolting down. Looking good though
Hi Chad, Jolene, & Doug, that hood is a bit of a struggle it almost seems like the right side of the hood is pivoting up on something. Could it be hitting something on the fender part way up where it pivots up in the back and when you push the back down the front pivots up. As far as paint I am with Jolene on this one it just screams flake to me. What about a compromise with black metallic? Otherwise, I don't know why but it seems to call for a brighter color to me if not black. A medium blue, or a forest green, and of course there is always candy red. GM has used black metallic and I really like it although, a little bigger flake than they used would be nice. I made one of those mistakes that all us humans tend to make, I did it big though and it is costly. I thought the 89 Camaro only had one seat type and 2 trim levels and I ordered deluxe seat covers for $600 and put the back covers on and went to do the front and the deluxe trim is a different seat and I have base seats. So do not feel alone on the rare mistake you may make because when I do it they are big! Jolene, great job on the video as always and I will be back tomorrow as always!
I think with the modifications to the back seat, it's apparent people would be hitting their heads on the back window. Keep it a two seater with option for pets!

Back window looks perfect big improvement. Your idea of sinister black would be the perfect color. Maybe tinted side windows, back window and port holes along with louvers over the port holes would complete the sinister look.
The package tray part installs first …then back rest and finally the seat .. the way it was done from factory … this way you don’t drive your self nuts … looking great

No, needs to loosen the hinge bolts on the body and lower the hinge, possibly even tip the hinge forward on the body.

This build is firing on all cylinders now. Glad to see the attention to detail and aesthetics.
Jolene your camera work is truly better than any other TV car show I've ever watched.
Its going together, youre fighting 50s Ford build quality or lack of it and somebody else pulled it apart and reassembled it already. Doug is a real handy guy to have around an extra pair of hands that has a clue is awesome.
The way that Chad moves into and out from the car - he looks like a 20 year old. Great guy.
DOUG'S a great helper! We love Doug and happy for Chad 🎉
who is we??
@@yeahright302 people who are subbed to bad Chad's channel clown! Nobody cares about your opinion
I'm liking the addition of Doug, he works well with Chad!
Like the back window now!

Great on the back seat chad,,no worry’s on any leg room, it looks great an I think no one will be rideing back there anyway other then fina,,Doug is good help,,hi to Jolene an fina,,luv you guys,,👍👍😀
Nailed it Chad. The portholes look great now as they are aligned with the side and rear window, No doubt in my mind. Thank you, take care and peace out!!
Ovel out the hinge mounts where it bolts to body so u can push passenger side hood down more. To get rid of the hood sticking up...
Or just use some shims! Wherever the people put them when they took em out and moved the car all over the country
Chad,,,,,, that right side bracket, just rim the holes a little longer then you can lower the bracket more. Great job videoing Jolene/ Nice you have Doug helping.
30 years ago we used to use a BFH and a 2x4 to bend the hood edges. Old Skool .
If you can't fix it with a hammer it's an electrical problem !!
Good to have Doug around to help , he's done a lot of work off camera ,it's coming along quite nice now ,Jolene as always great camera work
Hi Chad and Jolene….calling from the UK. North east England…just to let you know, I watch your tube videos every morning with my breakfast. You start my day. The ‘Bird’ is coming along nicely….love the colour black but Jolene’s idea is the best.
You should have mounted the back of the set first then put the bottom in
That's what I was thinking to.
Why?
Chad I know that you will do it and do it right and I have all the confidence in you that it will be done and done right. Jolene I want to say hi to you and you are doing a great great job with the camera. I wish you all a 3 a blessed evening and night. God bless
I think I would have made some adjustment at the hinge instead of beating the metal
If it was your build you could do it, however, it’s not your deal, so sit back and watch the master at work!!!
Show us how it's done badass
Doug is in the house ! Hi Doug! Chad your hood fits ! It came off so it has to go back on you didn't change anything . But lining it up is sometimes a hard thing to do . My experience with it is try not to over think it Justus it on then decide if it needs adjustments .Thumbs-up guys have a great day I'll be back tomorrow Jolene !
Exactly study long study wrong!
I like how Chad is what you see is what you get no BS I enjoy watching him I have been watching him from the beginning never miss a episode
You need to have shirts made with some of the things you say. Like “If ya know what I’m tryin ta tell ya” and “ woke up a 7 1/2 lookin like a 10”
Chad you may find that the pivot point of the hood where there is a bolt or a rivet is worn and needs to be replaced. That causes the hood to bee higher than it should be. Worth a check.
Im loving this build Chad, for the paint, How about metallic charcoal with a black tinted clearcoat for the color.
Chad mentioned using metal flake , NOT metallic! There's a BIG difference!

Candy apple red and black two tone would look amazing. Loving the build
Save the back for a "FINA" seat !👌🐈
I agree with Queen Jolene on the black with metal flake. The hood can be very tricky to get right. Good thing he has Doug there to help him.
It's looking better and better, as most people new it would,,
Looklin' GREAT ! How about black with a silver metallic roof ? Lots of flake !
That's what I think but a lace job. Super fast cheap and totally different then what he does. It would give a whole vibe to it. Then do the wheels in same charcoal color.
Lace accent whould be sweet !
FINA will fit just fine in that seat!!
Thunderbird’s always have a large gap. Especially front hinged hinges
Even British classic cars triumph,Jaguar,MG Aston Martins.
You are good on gap Chad
I would have never believed that back seat was going to fit back in there .
I love it 😁👍
Amazing job on the rear seat.
Still a great place for the kids to cruise in... 👍
WOW, room for Fina and grandchildren.
That Doug is a good hand to have around. Holy mackerel look at that door jam on the roof that's going to need some repair
the fact that the back seats and everything fits perfect is insane' Chad is a wizzard with these chop jobs' looks great cant wait to see paint laid on this beauty
The lower hinge mounting to the core support needs to be lowered instead of beating the hell out of the hood!!!
Chad and jolene I think that was cool the way you got the back seats to fit back into the car its saved you a lot of your time not having to make some to fit in. It's a shame that the people who tuck the hood off hadn't drilled the hindges it would have been so much easier to get the hood back in the right place. Keep up the great work the both of you 👏 👍
Absolutely love this channel, thanks Chad and Jolene , so authentic, I feel like part of the crew when I watch

Absolutely love watching this custom car come together.
Fina will like the back seat just fine I bet.
Oh yeah, I like it! Good decisions on the changes!
I don’t think you’ll hear any complaints from Fina about the back seat as long as she has enough room to curl up and see out those port holes. 😊
Elongate the holes in the hinges to drop the front of the hood.
your trying to fit hood to fenders Chad. Try fitting fenders to hood. Try using 1/8" spacers to begin. hood center needs to be at or slightly below the front cowel
She looks way better chad with that bigger back window makes it look more so symmetrical and even Good call brother
Gold Flake paint with white/cream highlights, like done in the 60's, would really rock. Just typing out loud! Lol.
Back window looks a lot better 👍
Hey killer job on the back seat trim showing once again that eyeing things your so talented with an your nitch over alot of builders awesome fit
Chad you need to take the bottom of the set out and then you can put the back of the set in first then you can put the bottom of the seat back in place and it will work just fine and the upper panel will fit back in to place
Black paint great idea. Sorry Jolene I hate flake. Great job Chaddy.
Paint it,... any color,...just paint it 😉. I was so looking forward to a Bad Chad painted vehicle (completed) after Chad got back from Australia. The completed cars there look fantastic.
That square-back top made the back seats still possible - looks great :) !
FINA WOULD LIKE ___ A back seat --- IN the one of a kind prototype ?
They could put a seat in the back and make it a 3 seater. A nice place for Fina to go along with the ride.
It definitely fits legit! Looks great keep on rolling! Can't wait till this old bird is done will be one of a kind!
The backrest is supposed to go in first the the seat cushion.
Who told you that?! Maybe in a 70s car or newer
It's cool that tall you lost was the package self. This will look factory once it's done because it is factory parts. If I remember right you have a set of full seat covers that came with the car too if they need to get changed.

This is great content the backseat fits and sure like the fact that you are going to do some priming soon
Couldn't imagine trying to adjust the hood after it was painted!!!! well done guys!
Chad , take rachet straps. Put one in each side of the back of the hood. Run the straps down the hood to the front the down to the bottom of the radiator support. Then tighten them . Thiis will bring the front of the hood down where it needs to be and the hood will clear the front panel when you open it.
loosen the hood hinge bolts and get down inside the engine bay and have the other close the hood and tighten the bolts when its lined up..
Looking good!! I love black, but I'm a suckered for flake!!! 🍻
No doubt in my mind you are the man Chad. Driver's door needs to be installed to check that alignment then possibly raise front of fenders. Just my opinion. Enjoy watching everyday.

Totally agree, you are trying to make this car look like a two seater, so why put in the backseat?
Great progress! Thanks.
You can adjust the front clip up, rather than the hood down.
Yup!! Figure that out before you bang on hood anymore.
Amazing creation. I was very skeptical of what you were doing but as usual you have created something amazing.
Just let Bad Chad build his car the way he want to.

I like the FLAKE!
Pick a color that makes it stand out and it will be really great.
Black candy would look good 👍...I would leave the hood scoop open so it's gets lots of air...
I think you're both right with the color ideas...So the body of car black and the roof flake paint job .. You both get wat u want..
Bright yellow with white scallops. Sounds strange but looks good
rear window is kinda like whats on a 1960 thunderbird, I like it :)
Chad elongate the four bolts on the hinge housing under the hood on both sides of the hood !!
The package tray part installs first …then back rest and finally the seat .. the way it was done from factory … this way you don’t drive your self nuts … looking great
Everything is looking good. Lucky break on having a back seat.
You're gaining on it, keep it up. Black would look cool, but the right flake job might set it off even more. I'm sure you two will look at your options. Those hoods are always snap or bitch to set.
The back window looks better!!! Yay!!
If you want to use the back seat and trim, you could narrow up the seat back on the bottom side by about 2".
