Major radiator dilemma SOLVED for $50 🤯

- Remember the big issue we ran into with the radiator from the 1936 Hudson Terraplane? Remember how it put a halt on the entire project? Well, we took it to the local radiator shop to see if they could repair it but they said it would need a new core which would cost us $1,500. This bad news caused Bad Chad to get creative... he literally just fixed the entire issue for $50 👏

I really like how Chad fixes stuff. So many folks think everything needs to be done by a specialist and to Concorse standards. There are many solutions and levels of build. Enjoy the way you do it.
Hi...you have the holes in the new radiater core which align with the holes in the old radiator surround...whu not just put right angle brackets there instead of having to weld tofether ///
Any Radiator shop that can't recore a radiator, isn't a radiator shop.
They could have, they just hoped he would agree to the $1,500 job so they could make a big profit off him.
@@steves2241or didn't want the job?😏
1,700.00 almost made my jaw drop I know they are not on a island in the middle of the Ocean I'm shire farmer's have to have there rads worked on there tractors.
They just want the most money they can get.....
Chad, very nice job. Genuine genius! Isn’t nice to figure out a way not to spend money to make something work. You have to love it. Thanks for the video Jolene
Chad a portable work table with locking wheels would be good, your joints will thank you whenever you get older.
Keep up the great videos Jolene, you guys rock.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You put the rubber washers on wrong side of rad. Now viberation of fan is going to cut into aluminum fins.
Yip I spotted it as well.
G'day Bad Chad and Queen Jolene.
It doesn't matter what you do. The Whinger Group will always be against it.
But the radiator fix is a goodin.
And that's what it's all about, making things work with what you have.
It's called modifying it to fit.
So, thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
I'm wondering if he had that radiator pressure tested for leaks before doing all the work to install it... Looks to fit nicely
✌️😎
Hopefully he had it pressure test in advance fur sure
Gonna guess...no.
Creativity is often associated with design and art, but it is also very useful for solving problems.
Great job guys 😎👍
Well, it surely must have taken a bit of luck to find just the right cell for the radiator :) It fit into place beautifully!
A pusher fan usually makes for overheating problems .
"bUT hE's nOt GOnNa dRIvE iT loNG EnOUgH tO gET HOt!" 😅😅😅
Especially with a SBC...
Here we go with the age old debate- again...Fact, a Pusher is drawing Cold Air..
a puller is drawing HOT Air, through the fins. 6 of one- Haf Dozen of the other. I ve had success with both designs..personal preferance...
Chad, you could put a piece of radiator hose from old spout to new spout. Ask Nathan if it is doable . Have Jolene take a picture of the distance from old to new radiator opening for a short piece of radiator hose, that way you just have to open top radiator cap.
I thought the same thing either rubber or solid great idea. Could also modify the lower cap as a connector to the new rad to the old cap fitting.
Good job on making the radiator fit inside keep up the good work Chad and Jolene on the camera
Nice but new radiator core is thinner than original so may over heat unless good fan
trans cooler in the front fan in the back.
I was a radiator repairer for 40 years and the price to recore that with the original type of core would be about right, but it could have been recored with a different type of core for probably half that cost.
Great job figure out this problem. But would of take time to make brackets so if need to replace would of been easier.
One thing I would have done different I would have covered the radiator from the welder spray. Other than that great job.
Had no doubt that you would figure it out. Good job
Great idea bringing old and new together and using what you got round garage
What a saving 👏 Go for it Team Hiltz 👁🐅👌
I'm building a 36 Terraplane also and used a radiator for a 36 Ford fit perfectly and and no problems with mounting fenders and grille shell.
Glad to see the Hudson has got a good radiator in it now.
Brilliant! Neat idea to make it work.
That radiator shop wanting $1500 CA is wild. I know prices have gone up but that’s incredible.
I liked the way you showed us your thinking, and what you had done with the radiator, without us having to watch the grinding and cutting process. Outside of the box thinking - love it. 👍
Should that not be on the engine side, not in front
Depends if it's a push or pull fan
@@DavidSmith-zv7oq Interesting technology
Why, Anthony ?
@@DavidSmith-zv7oq Hahaha !
@alpeach9480 What's so funny they make them both ways just like electric fuel pumps, maybe you should educate yourself and learn something.
Love this Hudson TerraPlane.
Does the $50 radiator hold water?
For someone who likes to constantly pat himself on the back you'd think he would do a simple pressure test on the rad before he started
This new rad is half the size of the other one… Going to have heating problems
Wow. That. Works. Perfect. Looks. Original. Great. Idea. Radiator shell. Can. Be. Used. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice job fitting that new, affordable radiator! If you have room, maybe weld in a plate on the bottom to beef it up.
As far as "boiling" the radiator, if you look inside and it looks a bit stopped up, a bit of a muriatic acid soak for a few minutes will disolve a lot. Just don't soak it TOO long, you can dilute the acid a bit if you want to be more careful..
Of course, best check for leaks first.
$1500 for a basic radiator ?! I know we have inflation, but, no.
Think of mounting rad in rubber cushions top and bottom Re: Vibration
The guys at the radiator shop never would have thought of that.
Should be bolting that radiator in. If it needs to be removed for repair it will be a problem. Flexing and vibration will break those welds eventually and allow it to hit the fan while driving
True but it's just a show car that isn't going anywhere if only around town at most.
And he should have tested the radiator to see if it leaked before he welded it in. And before someone says he did test it, watch the video again, he just said he will have to fill it with water and see if it leaks, so he did not test it for leaks before he welded it in.
They will hold just fine, and there is no fan for it to get into. Did you even watch everything, or like a lot of others, just watch till you found something you thought would make you look smart?
@@knothead5217 There needs to be a fan of some kind.
Electric fan
Excellent solution
Man you got lucky with that radiator, she fits like a glove.Good deal! 😉✌
That fan WILL RUB HOLES IN RADIATOR CORE
Does it matter if the fan is on the front side of the rad or the back?
Depends on the application. They make electric fans that work on either side, one pushes, and one pulls the air through the fins. Not sure what he has.
Great job explaining everything and figuring it all out Chad i totally understand where your coming from saving $$$ really, I enjoy watching from upstate NY
I think you could have made some little tabs to match the old ones so you could take it out. Not sure. It really looks good. I love the build . Keep it up guys and lady
On the carburetor not squirting, make sure the check ball or check needle is under the squirter. If not it won't squirt
nice to see the smart plan come together.
I would put the brace on the bottom but buffer it with rubber to avoid rubbing from whatever you use for a brace. What you have done is ingenious and nobody will ever see it likely. Very cool idea.
Most of the radiator business in Australia rarely fix radiator they just make you replace it with a new one because of the Labour cost they do special jobs but you do pay big to get it done.
Chad . Great idea, well done sir.
Radiator fix, ...... Genius idea ....🇬🇧👍
Smart fix Chad. I know it will look great. Definitely saved time and money.
It does look really good. Hope it does well. God bless you as well.
One of my favourite episodes - that was a fabulous fix!
I like your solution... with old cars, you have to be creative to solve issues without spending an arm and a leg
Great idea on the radiator
I watch this channel for the creative ideas. Thanks Chad and Jolene. ❤
I would have just welded 4 tabs on the old rad frame inline with the tabs on the $50 one.. that way it can be replaced if you have any problems with it
Yes Chad be your own hero, I like that!
Not at all I built and kept my favourite cars on the road for 40 years ...just never had that sort of creative talent respect where its due is all .
I love that Chad can make do himself & uses other car parts to make it work.A true Hot Rodder.
all the cars are looking good thank you for the show
Happy Sunday! Kool idea with figuring out your Rad dilemma Chad. One step closer in seeing it drive down the road, love the Hudson! tc all ! Hi Jolene.
The Sparks from the welder could put little tiny holes in the in the radiator core
Should have covered it so sparks don't hit the fins or tubes. Well, he'll find out when he fills it with water.
Yes, should have covered the core with cardboard, tubes are thin as paper.
Plus it looks like a single core rad!
It looks like the old radiator is a 3 or 4 core and the one he's putting in looks to be a 1 or 2 core I'm thinking maybe it's going to overheat because it doesn't have cooling capacity now
Chad, Jolene + Nathan, teamwork makes the dream work! Nice fix on the radiator saving $1150! Good progress in all directions! Congrats!
Are Chaddy's math skills rubbing off on his viewers, or did they go to the same class at school? 🤣🤣
1500-50=? 😂 1450
Good deal Champ! 👍
😉✌
It would-be good to see more projects finished and d o t up and running team hiltz would-be awesome
Nice Chad but can u run a hose from the new rad to old cap ???and use the old cap from old rad
Chad that rad. Is going to work great. love it!
Hi all from Trois-Rivieres Quebec
Good idea ...great fix..hopefully no issues...cya tomorrow
People don’t seem to understand that this is not going to be a daily driver.
Awesome, Thanks
Great idea Chad the rad all it has to do is keep the engine cool it can be hooked up anywhere as long as the hoses hook up
Good idea 👍 that will work just fine.
That rad mod is rather brilliant!
I kind of believe the same way if that radiator could not record that radiator they are not a real good Chad is doing the best job I ever seen by making a radiator out of the old core surroundings I just think he should have fit the old bottom into the radiator I think it would have did the same thing without all the work. But what he does is is beautiful and he always does a great job.
GOOD JOB!
love this one saving coins while getting the job done
I’ve not tuned in to Chad and his queen for a little while and as usual it was wonderful . Loved the rad fix 🤗👍🇦🇺❤️
these are what I call headlights not that plastic crap that is in modern cars
An important part of radiator selection, is the number of cores. Your new radiator is similar in height and width, to the old one, but only half the thickness, due to it having a lot less cores. Fewer cores means less cooling ability.
Hello from fredericton NB
hello from ontario this is grandpa from grandpas garage on u tube big fan of these guys great work guys
Yup, good thinking!
Nice deal on finding another radiator to fit the car. I thought the fan should have went on the inside.
Great plan for the radiator
NICE FIX!
The Water glass is injected via the radiator water into the hotspot at the motor. This technique works because at 93 C the sodium silicate loses water molecules to form a very powerful sealant that will not re-melt below 815 C.
Good thinking
Good job. Now you can't remove the radiator if you have to fix a leak or other problem. They make hardware 90% angle brackets that would bolt on, or make them yourself.
Would literally take less than 5 minutes to take it out
You could cut it out quick but you would have to disassemble everything in order to cut it out. How long would that take
(Repeat x 10) "You cannot petition the Great, Bad Chad with criticism of his work..." This is your penance.
(Chad 3:16) For Bad Chad tacked once it was held. He tacked twice and it was in place.
Is everyone forgetting that the whole thing is “ the radiator “ just the same as if the original was soldered into that frame? No different than the one Chad cut out. The frame will be installed the same ( I assume) as the original. You would fix it the same as if it were original. Story time……I got an old backhoe with a roached radiator and the company that made the radiator was still in business. They would rebuild the thing for $3,500.00 American. I found a brand new replacement one for a line boring machine that met all my requirements except mounting and hose routing for $300.00. Fabricated my own mounts and Bob’s your Uncle……still using it 5 years later….so far…..
@@firemanack6486
Exactly
Certainly some kind of economical grill could be fashioned to provide some protection for the delicate radiator fins, as well as greatly enhance the finished appearance of the car.
Very well done on the radiator, bad Chad !!
First class work, Chad!
HI again Bad Chad and Jolene from the D MI USA 😁 and thanks for sharing another great video update on your progress, it's coming together 😞🤩🔥💪
How about covering the core so any hot mig Sparks or weld balls don't damage the core ?
That's good o like what you are doing there
Their is also a threaded rod that goes in front of the radiator between both fenders and install the splash apron before you set the fenders in place.
Great video thank you
.
I must confess that I can only admire your skill and ingenuity but like so many other people l think that a bit of further thought would have definitely allowed you to consider think ahead about having to do possible repairs to the radiator or the fact that constant vibrations with no bushings could destroy everything. Hopefully the replacement radiator has no leaks or faults otherwise a lot of work for nothing
Brilliant idea on the radiator
Very good idea Chad and Jolene 👍👍
Sunday funday go team HILTZ
Nice 👍
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO.
I’ll say it again 😂. Knucklehead garage !!!
