- We both like the port hole window but now we don't like the rear window. We liked it before the port hole window but now it seems too small. So today we're going to modify it and make it bigger.... one step forward, two steps back 😝

I'm glad to see that now he's addressing the rear window. I'll wait to reserve my final judgement but I think it would've looked better if he had taken the window the complete width of the roof
Or at minimum a couple of inches wider.
I think he should leave the bottom height alone widen the window to the original width and take it up to the original height
Yeah I just said that in my comment.
@@rustynutz7158 LOL
It is Chads vision and car and it will look great! I was hoping it would be as close to factory size and shape as possible. That way someone might do a double take and think I didn't know Ford made a 58 T Bird with port holes.
Back window now looks so much better! Glad you made the change! Nice camera work Jolene!
Chad will not stop modifying things until they make him happy. That is the beauty of working with steel, weld, cut, weld again.
AMEN TO THAT!
It’s only steel, make this🚗to🏎️.

What bout sparks hitting the instruments ? Should have covered them up before starting
Definitely an improvement on the back window. It feels more balanced now and the overhang at the top of the roof/window evens out the bottom. Good work!!!
Glad you’re changing the window and wondering what the next iteration will be?
I'll be we could get fender spares on the ol girl.
Hopefully wider
It makes me so happy Chad that you are not afraid to do something different. Sometimes we do things by the trial and error system. It may take more time , but in the end you will be happier because you did your way. It truly shows you maturity and being one us that needs to have things done right by our standards. Keep on truck in’! Peace.
Portholes came out nice. Glad he's fixing the back window also. Great job Chad and fantastic camera work Qween Jolene.
honesty, a rare thing these days. Everyone has a change of plans but a lot don't like to admit they had a change of mind or made a mistake. that's why I will always keep coming back to Chad and his good lady. We can all show one we made earlier once we have had 3 attempts at it. Good work sir.
Thank you, Chad, for making this change. Great choice...it looks a heck of a lot better. Good job on the camera work, Jolene! You guys rock!!!
Opening up the back window is the best thing that has happened. It looks great.
Yup I agree it wasn't proportionate to the rest of the other glass it's going to look a lot better
I think you definitely made the right decision for the back window, it looks so much better with the port holes, loving this build !!!!!
Hi Chad and Jolene, I really appreciate your taking us on the creative journey in all you do with these cars. It takes time and commitment, more than we see to do this. We learn a lot from this thank you, give Fina a good pat for me. Stay well and safe.
You both are amazing to watch,people always comment on whatthey would do different oe what they dont like. Reality is the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love waching all you do and everything always ends up amazing. Keep up all the great work. Keep making all the great cars.
Thank you for showing all of the work to us
It's nice you are doing more things that are aesthetically pleasing.
The back window looks a whole lot better and matches well with the classic T-bird port hole windows. Car looks much better without all that fancy chrome trim pieces that are pitted, giving the car a very distinctive look that Chads going for. Going to be one sharp looking car when completed. Jolene is doing an amazing job with the camera.
Chad, it was the best change you could have made! It looks great! As usual Jolene's camera work is spot on! Congrats to you both!
Anyone can put a factory window in. But it takes an Artist to see what you see Chad . It looks ten times better now love it And love your vision. I really enjoy watching . I have been watching since the days you were selling tickets and having draws at the Rockabilly Car Show days and giving a car away every year. Much love to you both Chad and Jolene both Artist in your own fields Awesome. Saskatchewan Canada.
It will look better with a larger rear window 👍
The back window defiantly looks better now , i love the progress each time i watch the thunderbird being worked on , cant wait for the finished work of art on 4 wheels , love thunderbirds 🥰
Evidently it is safe to be in a methane-filled cabin with sparks flyin'..no explosion! Great job on the portholes and expanding the rear window...this car is special, just like you Chad! 🤣
Chad & Jolene how are you today? I did not want to say anything about the back window yesterday especially with Chad fighting things but, the back window looks much better now that it is the same height as the port holes. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards even though most of us do not like to have to do it. Have a good evening, be back tomorrow.
Many commentsa seeking Lrger rear window - good decision Chad. Jolene is working hard to capture the change with the camera.
Good one Chad, glad you are changing the window, it had to be done from day one when you first ran across the top with the spacer block and scribed a line it looked wrong, you should have stood back then , which you didn't, just went for it.
I agree 100% about the larger rear window. Everything looks great. Nice job Chad.
I watch your show every day because it's the best one out there . I was in the trade for 64 years as a mechanic and had my own shop for 44 years , so please wear a mask and use hearing protection, I did not and now I'm paying for it. If not for yourself,at least for Jolene. Love you both and the show. Ontario fan
It looks great with the porthole windows installed but I was thinking that the back window was too short on height based on where the porthole window was setting . I think it will look great with some more modifications . Good Call !
I’m happy that you can change things that don’t seem proper. It looks like a factory installation now. You are doing a fantastic job. ☮️🇨🇦
It doesn't matter if you like or dislike what Chad does, I always look at the what he is doing and use it as a learning exercise. Where else can you get this type of information without paying someone?
TH-cam?
@@speedfreak8200 from you? You don't have any videos informing anyone
@George Warren said, where else can you get this type of information without paying someone, and I said youtube 🙄
The new back window never looked right as it was too narrow. Looks sooooo much better now. I sincerely hope the T Bird gets put on the road. Modified and rare cars always look better driving on the road because when you spot it, you try to take in as much detail as you can before it drives away. Keep up the fine work, Chad and Jolene!
The change of the back window has given the car the proportion it needed. Well done in rectifying the issue. Great job Chaddy. Great camera work Joel's 👏
Excellent job as always from both of you. Doing the same in my projects. Been picking up new tricks from your videos but at the same time seeing some that I have been using before. And seeing you use those assured me it was the right thing to do. Thank you.
Had a feeling Chad would see his window wasn't right
Right on Patrick. 😊
Let's hope he sees the port holes in the same light, after he has corrected the rear window.
I’m still hoping he will go for a removable hard top
@@danhoy8356 that would be great!
@@harryharry4724 I thought a wagon would have been badass.
You did a great job on the rear window the first time but I thought it should have been a bigger window to start with. I am glad you see the difference and going to correct it. Awesome job on the Port hole windows.
Glad to see your making the back window larger, you are a real person when it you don’t like something you own up to it and correct it
I like it a lot better wasn't happy with the first one but it was yours and it turned out great as I think everyone will be happy with it now. Hello to Doug glad to see him. Awesome video work by Jolene spot on. Missed seeing Fina.
The portholes look great on the thunderbird.
Well done yesterday Chad you managed to keep it together without showing too much angst. I new you would think it through and find the right solution. Sometimes all it takes is a few deep breathes and away you go. I like what you've done on this one mate can't wait to see it finished.
Cheers Michael
Glad to see you having fun. I hope it gets a little bigger. Thanks for sharing
I really like the idea of roll down windows. The reason is there flat so you can make them out of duel laminate. You can rig two auto windows from "any"( choose well ) vehicle. You wire them off one switch and supply the power properly. The jig is easy to build to make the window rollers and track but there not easy to make.
The port holes looked great hi Chad & Jolene
Back window much better. Good to see you assess the work done and be confident enough to change something when it doesn’t seem right. 👍
Don't know what you're going to do to it, but I already agree. I wasn't a fan of how it looked. Keep up the good work eh. :-)
Hi guys, i really enjoy following the progress of your creations, so thanks for sharing!
I personally would like the rear window to be the full size of the opening but it wouldn't be the first time that i would like something different than how is being made just to change my mind when i see it finished, so looking forward to keep following the process.
All the best to you guys and thanks!!! (Writing from Ibiza, Spain)
Great work Chad - you’ve inspired me to just go for it and figure things out as I go along. I’m resto-modding a 55 F100 and have had analysis paralysis for the past few years trying to figure out how to continue.
I had the same reaction when seeing the port and back windows together. It looked off. Now it looks exactly right. That's the nice thing about trial and error. It can always be changed. Nice work you two!
Good job on the rear window. Bigger window is better. 👍🏽
Glad you opened up the back window. I was conflicted with the inconsistency of the windows, This looks more natural yet still custom. Great job! Greetings from Los Angeles!
Bigger rear window will look better.
It is looking fantastic. Good catch on the rear window, Like you, most of us probably didn't see the sizing problem until you finished putting the portholes in. Much better proportions now. I don't know if I would have the patience Doug has to strip the inside of the hood and trunk lid. Its an awesome build so far, looking forward to tomorrows adventure.
Tbh i wasnt a fan of the back window, but I dont dare add any constructive criticism nowadays as in the fact that if u speak negatively- that's WHO YOU ARE.
Love u guys and the t-bird build so far
But the back window idea to me needs addressing
😎👍
The design of it is too small in my opinion...
Constructive criticism is not "negativity". I say bring it on.
@@BARSOUTANDABOUT I agree, but it's still 100% better than it was.
Much better. The symmetry of the roof thickness matches the lower window thickness and brings it to a much more factory look. Kudos for doing the hard thing and cutting up your own work!!
Making the back window looks so much better!
I'm glad, I didn't think it quite looked right, but Chad has explained enough times it isn't finished yet and THAT'S when it should be assessed as far as ascetics go.
To me, the problem seems to be the recess of the window. Is it possible to round off the back of the roof and eliminate the recess?
Hi Chad ...Don't burn your fingers again..Spot a piece of coat hanger on the small piece of metal, put the coat hanger through the hole and hold in place while you weld it. Keep up the good work..
mall
@@stanhoskin3523 SMH literally said it in the first 10 seconds of the video!
I really like all the mods except for the back window . I think it would look steller with a long oval back window , then the look would flow together . But that's only my opinion. Hats off to the work you've accomplished Chad and Jolene . Out standing work !
gotta say it again I love Chads attitude. you go for what you want an you don't let anything get to you. we all can learn alot from that way of thinking
I like the bigger back window. I thought it looked odd yesterday but assumed it was the it looked on camera. You have an incredible eye and talent.
Try something different and weld the window panel on the very back edge of the roof. The back glass and panel would be flush.
That would give you enough space to install original back glass.
I am very happy you are modifying the rear window, the '58 T-bird has the ogglies roof line from Ford but with the port holes looks better, one idea for the rear window is a full concave glass like the one in the 1969 Chevy Impala Coupe.
I think it needs a full back window similar to the factory window, but the port holes look great!
Well done son ! Glad you came to your senses and got the proportions on the rear window sorted out. Its the difference between cool or ugly and you cut out the ugly good job all that matters is your finished artwork not your process.!
I always thought the port hole windows would look better smaller than you went with. I loved that back window, wish you would've modified the port windows to line up better instead of the rear window
So glad you did the rear window. It hurt the back of my eyeballs, but now the proportions look great. My eyeballs are smiling again. Now then, not that you're not a handsome devil, but we really need more Jolene in front of the camera.😊
It looks much better with the taller back window.
That looks a lot better with the window up higher. i didn't think the window looked good even before the ports were cut in. You guys are Awesome!!!
Isn't it odd that for around 2 weeks, a bunch of viewers who are Not "Professional Car Builders" have been saying the rear window was too small and looked like poop. Now all of the sudden Chad agrees!
Yeah like he didn't read the comments! You know Jolene did and Chad's Building the car for HER !
Seems like he's having a bit of an issue with it. Seems a bit stubborn to admit others were right.
@Brian toenailer you couldn't do what he does with millions of people watching you live! I guarantee it!
Thank goodness the Window got a second modification, I never complain or comment on anything but seeing how he made the decision himself lol I'm more than pleased to say the before was way worse than the after. Great job Bro.
looks like you are going to make it bigger time will tell but I think It would look alot better if it was bigger. still loving the port holes they look just right on this car
Whenever I saw the small window installed, i was disappointed. Fitting the original window would have been a lot more work, so I completely understand the choice that was made. When the small window was fitted, I immediately saw custom rear window louvers of incremental lengths, that matched the shape of the trunk, cascading down onto the back deck. Now, with the portholes and the rear window made larger, THIS looks right. I appreciate the changing of ideas, despite the time that's been put into it. If it doesn't feel right, forcing it to work will only make it worse.
Chad, I love the fact that you change things as you go and if it doesn’t work out you’ll change it till it does work. You have a great work ethic. Thanks Jolene for the video.
Hello Chad. I'm glad you're changing the window, In my opinion it looked much better when it was larger. But that's just my opinion. Regardless of what, or how you do it ......I'm very impressed with your work !
You know he wants to put the original back window and he just won't admit
the first was an abomination. Bring the window out. Make it the size of the opening. Get rid of that mess!!!!!
dang you are cruel to the "bad"guy.
Chad , don't look at it like a boo boo. In every build changes are made. Whether you are building a house, car, art, etc. If chsnges are not made the the best product doesn't get built. You two are doing a great job. Keep it up.
I think an oval shaped rear window would look great.
Chad &Jolene’s car and he can build it the way he likes!!!!!! so if he wants to change it’s their. Car whatever like chad says all ways says you need to do with the whatever it is to make yourself happy!!!! I remember my dad had a 1971 mark it had a smaller back window it almost looked it had chopped top .you have to remember he is the artist 🧑🎨
Well there you go . Now is it a split window? Time will tell or Chad will soon . Change modify cut build ! This is what this channel is all about ! Thumbs-up Jolene and Chad great build !
The car is starting to look amazing. Great work Chad. The rear window would look good with all 4 corners rounded. It would match all of the round accents and curves of the car ( headlights, tailights and those awesome port windows you fabricated).
Looks great- can’t wait to see what’s next. I watch every day 👍🏼👍🏼
Much better Chad. As I said awhile ago it's more balanced now. Even without the port hole windows it still looked out of balance. Nice change. Excellent job.
I love how Chad is always complimenting Jolene. ❤
Love it! Now Round the bottom corners of the back window. We see the porthole then we see a sharp corner at the back.
You're ruining that poor Tbird. You started with a beautiful car and now it's a freak show.
That car was a freak show when it was built.
Looks much better with the bigger window, as many others I wasnt a fan of the smaller window, the window could have been widened some to open it up more, but as some urchins like to keep telling people, " Its Not You Car", lol, so funny.
I like the bigger back window opening. It ties into the port holes much nicer and helps to retain the lines of a square bird. The modifications to the roof line make it yours.
Just wondering out loud for sake of exploring the restyling and design.....how the 69 style landau roof bar trim would have looked vs. the 50s portholes.....I actually like the shadow at the top of the small recessed back window......roof would be really epic if it folded down into the huge trunk skyliner style😉👍What a friggin nightmare to make work though.
Yesterday, when the back window view got revealed at the end, I saw how the handmade 1985 cutlass window back window (in place of what should have been a Mercury Turnpike Cruiser’s famous opening rear window, which this T-Birds rear window originally stylistically mimicked, with its center valley Chad re-sculpted, a opening truck rear window would suffice, but we all know this Square Bird should have a 1961 starliner’s roof line!…) The rear window was way too low up top, relative to the added port holes location, and this time Chad’s was right on it. After they eye’d it up without taking the view from behind into account, then nailed it, lucky to miss those inner supports at the port holes bottom & regardless of any and all previous little rear window adventures, Chad dove right back in, and addressed it by cutting the back window up top, which looks a whole lot better, besides the glaring issue with the Hudson’s rear window rear side cutting into the the surrounding body panels given uniform space, Chad doesn’t have such a bad eye…LoL…🙈
Looks great little more rear look side windows look great now with more opening . Working at the summer home when day ends watch the work on your car fills in the evening. Have a good one .
Chad you made the right choice to make the rear window opening bigger smart move. Just one question for you would it had been easier to put the window that you took out back in. Jolene I hope to see you in more videos soon helping Chad out and I want to say hi to you and wish you and Chad a blessed evening and night. God bless
That back window looks better now, in my humble opinion & was so hoping you'd do the port hole windows !! Nice work.
Abraham Pineo Gesner, May 2, 1797 - April 29, 1864) was a Canadian physician and geologist who invented kerosene.
Chad you're correct, he was from Nova Scotia. Gesner invented kerosene oil and, because of his patents for distilling bituminous material, was a founder of the modern Petroleum Industry.
Dear Chad; with the utmost respect I will share a thought on your T Bird creation. In my opinion the back of the car is so long (trunk area) it makes the car look out proportion & if that's what your looking for, by all means keep it that way. But you may consider taking that long trunk and make it into the first 1958 pick up. The 1rst T bird Ranchero. just a thought, good luck.
I didn't like the back window from start. Interesting that the port hole windows actully made the back window look samller. New window opening looks great. Nice build . Great videos , thanks for bringing us along.
If you put the pinch weld on the window lip it will still look to big. Another 1/2" would look more fitting to the rest of the window. Not trying to be negative. Just my opinion. Been watching cars built since the 50s. Love your work. Now that your welding the pinch well on it looks better
Not bad Bad chad,Looks way better with a bigger back window👍Just don't forgot to paint it White roof and a hot pink body😉
That looks better, almost like it was originally designed that way. The smaller design wasn’t necessarily wrong, I just don’t think it was the right design for this car. Keep up the great work!
With 65 years of customizing experience, I was really glad to see that you changed the rear window! Too bad you could not have used the factory window and sunk it below the "catwalk".
I'm glad you are planning raising the top of the back window. That was the first thing I saw that I thought needed to be different.
With regards to the back window, most would say, "it's already done, so it is what it is!" Not Bad Chad though,... kudos to him for going with his heart and changing it!
