Chad I love watching you at work. I wait on you everyday you are truly a master metal craftsman. I’m going to ask you a question I’ll be 70 in January if the good lord Jesus Christ let’s me live to see it. Question at my age do you think I could learn to weld with one of those welders you have. Grate gob on Jim’s gas tank. You and your girlfriend must get tired doing a video everyday. I surely hate to see you slow down. But I know you have to at some point in time. Thanks for the videos. I like it when jimbo comes over or you visit him. You guys have a good night god bless you and your family. James Salmons wv.
Good to see Jimbo in the house, it's nice to see Chad and Jolene help getting a fuel tank made for Jim, this is what's it should be mates helping out each other, the world should be more like
I'm just gona say, two six inch bend as in adding 6 inches to the 28 measurement, and a 90 degree bend on both sheets would have saved you 6 ft of welding. 6 ft of less of a chance of a leak. Not to mention time. Like watching you and Jolwne, and all the rest. But didn't watch this as soon as you cut the 28 inch cut. Story of my life. 6 inches short.😅
Jolene love the fast forwarding. Chad’s patience today was exemplary. What a wonderful community you guys have with Doug, Nathan & Jimbo!
I would weld some baffles inside to minimize the gas sloshing around. Also roll bead to add strength. Also pressure test it when you are done.
Hard job. Did a oil pan years ago cut it off turned it around welded it back together with a arc welder . Well it leaked so I took it to a welding shop he wire welded it looked beautiful lol it leaked again. Took it back he showed me a trick ( soap and water spray it on blow from the opposite side with air any pinhole bubble! Really simple and works great . Great job guys good advertising. Miss seeing joule always nice to see a beautiful woman especially one that gets in and helps ( not saying that you don't help camera a big job i know ive tried that was a joke how it turned out lol . Thanks for everything you're both a inspiration
Hi Chad, Jolene, Jimbo, & Nate, all in the house today! Always good to see Jimbo come over & when Nate is there it means progress on the Bugatti. Nate does really awesome work on the cars & he will have the Bugatti mechanically ready to go in no time. Chad you are a great friend taking time out of your work to build Jimbo a gas tank, if anyone deserves it that would be Jimbo. Jolene not only a great video but, a great hole spotter on the tank welds. Congratulations on the sponsor as well Jolene, & the progress on your Bugatti!
Why wouldn’t you bend the first corner? That would be two less long sides to weld.
Moving fast you might miss the obvious occasionally. No big deal still got done.
Friends helping friends, some of the essence of the car world
i used to work with a guy i called 'racing man'. Drove me crazy was always speed over quality but we worked in theater/movie/tv industry which was very forgiving before 4k high def. He went up the corporate ladder making big bucks but always came to the shop with his plans/designs requesting me to do the build. No we were never on good terms till i retired but i knew he became aware of quality over quantity but no money ever got into my pocket yet his designs made him a 'god' for the business.
Hi jimbo is in the house ! It's always nice when a friend drops in ! Just like they said friends helping friends ,! Thumbs-up ❤Jolene and Chad and team Hiltz if it weren't for great friends it would be a very dull life and time !
Put a light inside the tank when you cut the hole for the sending unit to check for leaks
Jolene, the fast sequencing through the repetitive tasks speeds things along. I LIKE IT!👍
Jim's new tank will hold 21.8 imperial gallons or 99.1 litres. No matter how you measure it, its going to be a big hit on the wallet to fill it. The Bugatti is really coming along. The adjustments and instal of vital components really eats a lot of time and money not to mention it can test the patience of a monk. As you say, there's a lot more to a build beyond the skin and paint.
Are we putting baffles inside so every time Jimbo stops or starts she doesn’t starve for fuel ⛽️
Jim-bo going to need a big tank if he puts on that three duce set up on the engine . Awesome job Chad helping out friends ! On the tank I always run a full bead of weld on top of the first weld And have good luck doing that ! Great work on the camera Jolene !
Just love listening to Jimbo what an entertainer...nice job with the tank guys!
Chad, on the back of most metal brakes there is a cam to adjust the edge of the top to decrease the roll of the edge of the metal. It will make a much tighter angle. 👍 👍
The brass bushing might be worn out. I had to replace mine a few times over the 17 years I used it.
Always a great show. That was quick, I’m hoping for a two hour special. I’m getting use to you jumping around on projects. I have A.D.D. to haha. Looking forward to the Bugatti getting to the paint stage. I am also looking forward to more work on the TEXACO inspired tanker and how it turns out. I love your work Chad!
Love how you help your friends, great work Nate, but damn I hate the negativity from some people in chat with their insults. Keep em coming and awesome camera work as usual Jolene.
Just a suggestion. ...you wouldn't need a huge building for a good siz industrial sheer,,and a big Brake ,3200t 10' long. maybe a notcher. Watch for equipment..sometimes find stuff like that at auctions industrial auctions....
You'd wear out alot less grinders...make life easier and save alot of time
Great job of fast forwarding thru the welding. Saves me from doing it. 😀
If building new gas tank, consider installing a good drain plug.
I recall once someone complained about how Chad welds. I see in this video, he has learned how to up the speed of his welding. LOL. nice job Jolene & Chad
Think that tank will get pressure tested? Sure hope so.
That tank should have been tig welded instead of mig welded
After cutting a hole for sending unit you can put a light on the inside. Just cut the hole a little smaller than you know you will need & you can do it now.
why not bend the metal to do away with some of the welds?
Do not mean any disrespect but when welding using MIG you push the torch forward same as when tig welding, when welding flux core wire in a mig you pull for best results the torch backwards same as when stick welding unless your doing a vertical up weld. If I was going to use a mig to weld this tank I would tacked the outside seams as you done, then ran a vertical down on the inside seams, then welded up the outside seams in about 6 runs of weld alternating the area of welds to avoid distortion. But the best way would have been the tig weld the whole tank. Then always pressure test a tank especially a fuel tank with water pressure, or air and spraying soapy water on the welds.
Nate is a big help and all you guys are doing an awesome job 👏
It’s always good to see Jimbo in the house Chad and Jolene 👍
most manufacturing guidelines in the 1st world describe
materials and engineering in construction of fuel tanks
there is also crash testing requirements
in chads brain its the "looks good to me" school of engineering
what could go wrong?--its as bad as cutting up a brake pedal assembly
or hacking up a suspension your a wild and crazy man BC
This car will hardly see the road.
That was a good one, watching jim install a gas tank then three hours later watch chad make it
Nice to see you and Jolene helping jimbo with a gas tank
Many thanks to Jolene for her awesome vids the editing and all the things you do to make the show possible.Also a big hello to chad Doug Nathan’s and Jimbo all great people and Fina 🐒✌️👍🎃Craigger pnt
Amazing how you knocked out a gas tank like it was simply baking a cake. Very talented at your craft.
great example of mates helping mates, all the best from Australia 👋👍
Although they are not absolutely necessary baffles would have been nice in the fuel tank....
Are you planning to use a sloshing coating on the inside? It will seal ALL of the pinholes and protect from moisture (condensation) forever.
Bless you Chad for all you do helping Jim,great video
was only missing doug tonight woulda been full house great stuff as always
Great job on the tank for jimbo,,I enjoyed watching,,hi Jolene an fina,,have agreat weekend,,luv ya’s,👍👍😀
I recently built a tank for my build and found that if I planned the bends I had way less welding to do which leads to less likely a leak. Just something to think about the next tank build.
That smaller steering wheel looks alot better than the other one!
Nice of you guys helpin Jim out with his tank...cool that Nathan is moving along with the Bugatti...pinholes were a killer 😮...cyas tomorrow guys
Chad is one talented son of a sea bisket! He does a good solid job, and made Jimbo nervous.......
Hey Chad I'm not trying correct you or anything like that nothing but I'm like that. But I found if I use a red light when I'm welding looking for pinholes it seems to show up a little better than white light. It contrasted against the white light that's already available.
And I would also like add that I only started welding because of Chad. Please don't get me wrong I have definitely a newbie. I just happened to think about it when I was welding and looking for holes. I really don't know what I'm doing. I'm only mimicking what I have seen Chad do and I have to say I can actually welcome to come after 53 years lol. I've always wanted to do but never had the opportunity to do or took the time to learn. Thank you bad Chad oh, you're the great teacher 2 me.
Loved the swallowing sounds. I could feel myself drinking Chad's AG1 myself!😂😅
29:00 Definitely a Baffle, because you don't want the fuel to get away from the Pick-Up.
maybe good to use JB Weld on the inside like a seam sealer
The main purpose of a baffle in the gas tank is to keep the gas around the fuel pickup during stopping and exceleration when the tank is low on fuel and also on hills. Your engine loves baffles so they don't stumble.
i like seeing Chad using the plasma torch and i actually looked up the cutter blades for his Kett shears the other day
God Bless Chad for his helping a friend and for his enormous patience!!!!!
Jarno is a good mediator. Just FYI. Love Jimbo. GMC Joe is awesome too
Dam...that man Nate is a genius.
Just wondering why you didn't bend the tank in the metal brake? Less welding to worry about leaks...
Good job Chad and Jimbo on the gas tank. Great video work by Jolene. Awesome fabrication Nate you are fantastic 😊.
Jimbo is Doc. I mean seriously. Reminds me so much of back to the future. He looks so much like Christopher. Uncanny.
That's true the video are good and Joy watching every day that I can and work so good each time so you and Jolene Doug Nathan keep up the good work
Jim is a hoot!
when I first started driving I was handed down a 67 Crysler 300 that had a 27-gallon tank, the tank you made for Jimbo is a 26-gallon tank
26 gallon tank should be plenty for those long range trips. Nice job
Nice to see Jim in the house and you and Jolene helping out a good friend... well done !
Baffles are needed Jim and no do not shape it that way please. 😮
Always good to help a friend out when needed, great to see Jim In the house again
The tank is taking shape, great job 👍
When you make the fuel inlet hole you can put a light inside to check the welds 💡
Hey Fina: Roast beef sandwiches tonight. Extra gravy.....
Chad, I really like the way you work around All of the guys that you work with.
Chad builds a gas tank in no time but i fell out of my chair outside when i saw chad do a sponsership… lol!!! Great video
Jimbo gettin' the gas tank made. You should just get a 55 gal. drum for fuel for that Oldsmobile.
Yea Jim's in the house go on jim
great show Chad and Jolene. Real people real life.
Good vibes in the shop today. Great jester on your part to make a tank for Jimbo. You’re a great group of friends and entertaining besides.
Hey guys nice job on the gas tank I already saw Jim installed it on his channel earlier today
I think it’d be great to clean up the paint, brakes and minor interior work. More appealing to a buyer.
Nice to help a friend, being an old ductwork guy I would have put a cross break in it.
It sure is great to have good friends. Chad and Jolene now has a terrific knowledgeable🥰 staff. Enjoy them all.
Love the fast way to build a gas tank. Thank you
Good on ya for looking after your mate. I measured 97.7 litres. If it sucks 20 litres it will still go nearly 500km.
Can’t wait to see the Type 1 Jolene on the road. Badass looking car.
I like the fast motion. You should do it during the grinding to.
Jimbo reminds me of Doc from BTTF
Jimbo likes to shoot the breeze, but bad Chad just keeps getting it done !! Chad is basically ignoring Jimbo’ ideas and just kicking but !! Love Chad’ work ethic!!!
AG1 is the best green drink I have tried anyways, I can tell you that!
Wow 2 shows in one day. Thanks.
What is your plans on the car sitting just outside the shop. The rusty one.
Guys. You're my number 1 show!!!! But really, all this time welding on the show and you still haven't developed any safety at all. Just say eyeball before you pull the trigger so no one gets flashed or burned!!
Love the show your work is amazing.
36" tank, 48" steel sheet. Should have made one piece bent on both end long ways, 36+6+6=48. Then could have made the other 26+6+6=38. With two bends and just welded.two pieces together, faster, stronger.........
2 less long welds too...
Jim getting him a nice new gas tank for his Oldsmobile. This one's a lot cheaper than ordering one. Great job on the Bugatti.
There's a liquid seal you put on the inside of the tank you rotate the tank slowly on all the seams and it seals all the pin holes
Great video thank you.
All of you chad , Jolene, Nate keep up the good work
Can the sound of the grinder be muted a little?
Asking for a friend
After the welding and before the gas I would get a qt 0f special gas tank sealer!
Jim's on the house.
smaller steering wheel works better still looks like you needed a second u joint in the column to kind of level off the wheel. I actually agree with some comments about using a more modern tilting adjustable steering column
Chad you have a heart of gold
So cool that you and Jimbo help each other out 😊
Baffle?
I think a bit of bead rolling, or at least a couple of X creases on the flat sides would have been a good idea too.
Taking care of friends, good man I started watching Jim I didn't know how to find him then it was on part of yours and I saw it
