1936 FORD FRONT END SWAP: BUILDING A HOTROD THE OLD SCHOOL WAY

[@RolandFieldsTV]

I enjoy watching you work on cars. You make it look easy.

[@aamantium1]

I'm stoked to see that combo in action. I have a little body shop myself and I'm fortunate enough to get to build what I want every once in a while and I just happen to be customizing one of my older Harleys and customizing my 66GMC. I'm making them match, so I can throw the bike in the back and hit up car shows and what not.

[@oxyfee6486]

Thanks for the motivation guys,appreciate all the work you do.

[@scottcardona19]

I really enjoy your process. It makes it really easy to understand and approach

[@trickysubject8563]

I can’t begin to tell you how much we appreciate you and Jolene for the brilliant content. Ultimate kudos to you both. 🇨🇦🇬🇧🙏

[@halnywiatr]

On the cold chisel; when a “mushroom’ starts to form on the head from repeated hammering, it is important to grind off the edges of the “muffin top”. The flared steel is very stressed and unstable and prone to splintering. By grinding off the splitting edges of the “cap” the risk of shrapnel flying off is greatly reduced. Years ago, hammering an old star drill into concrete, an edge shard shot off into my hand. Deep! Fortunately, it was not into my eye or someplace that tweezers and magnet couldn’t reach. Since then I always wear safety glasses and all striking implements have their heads ground clean.

[@amerritt261]

When my chisles mushroom and split I remove the splits an take it back a little then heat it with my cutting torch and dunk it in old oil. It give a slightly bigger head and helps prevent it from mushrooming more.

[@tonylashmit2613]

Chad has the energy of a guy half his age. He always seems to be happy now that Joline is in his life! He has his priorities in the right place!

[@walkertongdee]

young people don't have energy lol...

[@tonylashmit2613]

@@walkertongdee, they only have selective energy,lol!

[@timhanson2080]

It looks like a lot of work on that cross member. You make it look easy. I really like where you are going with this build. It will be cool going down the track 🏁. Thanks to you both for a great video. Sunday funday.👍

[@reganfox3984]

I've learnt so much watching these videos since I'm 16 and wanting to be a mechanic and I am also building my very own old hot rod truck

[@jimcoplan9502]

Chad continues to prove that he is an expert at inovating from "junk" His abilities are endless. Jolene is a great paratner for him and her videos never disappoint us. Thank you both for sharing the vision with us every day.

[@007JakeD]

Some of the best mechanical engineers I know are back yard bruisers… necessity is the mother of invention…

[@matthewfocke5360]

Creative genius is the ability to take what you have, modify, synthesize and assimilate it in order to develop a form that meets your objectives. Chad and Jolene: You create Art cars. Wee-oh man. Love it.

[@bluecollarwrench7534]

My 12 year old son and I are hooked on your channel. He was able to work in a friend's restoration shop over the summer. He has big plans for my 61 apache pickup that was my grandfather's. He said the cab over is bad ass!

[@Mr51Fargo]

Oh boy now we get to see a front end swap.... there is never a dull moment at HILTZ AUTO CO...

[@donwilliams3626]

It often seems like it takes more planning and effort to "reverse engineer" the front end than it takes to build it in the first place. I'm having fun watching you build the truck and race car each day.

[@joebourque4860]

Awesome work chad. Thanks for the video Jolene 👍👍👍

[@gbdrywall]

doing what you enjoy and using what you have.what a great way to live

[@kennethstevenson976]

Looking back at the casting information on the Hupmobile engine, it looks like it mite be of some value to a person needing it for a restoration project. The castings look solid and well done. It would be interesting to see how many main bearings it has. It might be a smooth runner. Check the timing, the motor could be firing even though the timing is off. I had an engine that a mechanic had rotated the distributor 180 degrees off. When I replaced the heads after a valve job and wired the plugs according to the cap instructions, it would fire but it would not start. I rotated the motor to number one cylinder to check the distributor, it was 180 degrees off. I got the distributor in the right position, cranked the starter, and the engine started and ran immediately and smoothly. Just because it is firing a little bit does mean it is timed right. Rough running is a symptom of poor timing. My car was a 1971 Buick Rivera with a 455 cu in engine.

[@aabartu3]

That's going to be a cool combination going down the road!

[@davidtutor6763]

Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two

[@scottimc72]

Having two builds going is cool. Very entertaining. Thanks guys.

[@kennethlotzgesell4903]

I enjoy your creativity with how everything comes together.

[@g1boy2]

Hard to believe Chad has made over three famous and Beautiful vehicles from parts off one car and is planning on using what's left to build a vintage race car.... Just an Incredible vision for cars

[@allanimalstaxi]

Looking good for the Hiltz's gang on their race car, one more step closer today. Glad to Jolene will be driving for them, she'll run their ass off the race track and have fun doing it. Can't wair to see them racing, but Bad Chad says it aint about how fast you can go (bullshit), just wait until he starts racing, coming in last, is not no fun at all. He'll be fixing it up to go faster, cutting weight, etc. to gain a few places up the line from last to what ever is better than last place in a race.

[@MF-rn5os]

race car frame, another fun day watching chad and jolene build dreams.

[@russupsidedowntopbottom955]

back yard engineering at its finest!! great example of working with what you have to have what you want

[@jamesclark1131]

Great show, learn something every time. Thank you for the motivation 👍

[@MattyB3D]

This just shows you how much work it takes to have fun.

[@standavis7266]

I'm looking forward to this one come back to life!

[@craigcaggiano431]

Lots of creative thinking goes into each project that Cad builds..

[@raybedell6031]

Very interesting work love watching you do it teaching me a lot preciate this KZbin channel

[@rayfellows8295]

Another Fun day of watching Chad & Jolene project.

[@andrewdow1990]

Can't wait to see the race car behind the cabover going down the road!! You guys are doing a great job at showing us the process.

[@howquick]

Going to look fantastic on the back of the truck…both together 👍

[@tonymosca6591]

Look forward every day to your videos! Thanks Chad and Jolene.

[@justanonymous8858]

RC is going to have a neat stance. Chopped gasser will be unique! I enjoy watching your vission come to life. Thanks for sharing with us, Steve in Texas

[@billphillips4110]

Chad it is always fun to watch you work I can always learn something

[@Saltbox97]

Man you have a lot of gear and parts around. Never a dull day for sure.

[@lt_walke4088]

Although your car may not need to be certified and licensed on the road the track may have a tech requirement (something that is very standard at drag tracks) with a minimum safety standard required for the track based on. Might be worth a quick email to the organizers to find out, so that you can fully enjoy your awesome project.

[@Dave-Nz]

This will be a good watch, keep up the awesome work guys ;-)

[@texastomeh3077]

"Having fun building stuff"!! MAN, that says it ALL!! GREAT!!

[@johnmacmillan2766]

Another day another lesson thanks for sharing!

[@ate-updesigns9186]

Ohhh hell yeah...loving this...cant wait to see what the racecar is goin to look like...chopped top...gasser..dang it's gonna be cool..perfect to haul behind the cabover...just awesome content my friends...thanks for the episode..on Sunday fun day Chad and Jolene

[@ronc6249]

Thanks Chad & Jolene for all you both do. You both make a very enjoyable video every single day. It's fun and educational, keep up the great work.

[@subslammed8725]

Going to be really cool when you get this one done.

[@ejharrop1416]

Love the creativity and also practicality of using what you got to make it work, nice job. Take care and peace out

[@fredricandersson7161]

Sunday fun day! Good weather then you work outside. If it rains then there will be sanding

[@richardjennex6583]

Another amazing video jolene and chad also I really in joy watching everyday and I love the way your thinking about building the truck to pull the race car now you just got to build the trailer as well

[@timbits.3591]

My favourite time a day. Watching an excellent videographer, a top notch artist, and the one and only, Fina!

[@johnjackett3138]

Thanks Guys for Your daily videos.....You're a hard working couple and an inspiration to many others

[@scottpomeroy8021]

🤪👌now a deadline to have both done for the big race!

[@stephenmelton7706]

This show is really growing on me. Just subscribed. I have been watching all the Bad chad shows on the discovery Channel. I hope they bring him back for a third season. Keep doing your thing guys.

[@shotgun283]

Having fun with your race car is what it's all about. Building your own hot rod to do it is just awsome

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I like that you make things happen with what you’ve got. Only ordering from Speedway or Summit when absolutely necessary.

[@bradleymckay365]

Man I wish I lived closer because I would love to build something with ya.

[@dew4menow]

Every day is a fun day when you do what you love

[@jimwilson465]

Going to be a pretty cool race car with all the different parts. It going to be an awesome pair these two vehicles. Keep up the great work!

[@frankrodriguez1977]

Cant wait until they're both done. Awesome stuff

[@davejones3038]

Weld yourself up an awning outside there Chad. Use old farm equip and machinery to piece together a cool space for your outside projects. You're awesome, love the show, keep the great content coming.

[@kentmckean6795]

Hotrodding is an art. Chad is making sure it doesn't become a lost art!

[@alexandriawootton1742]

I’m guessing you’ll be the only one at the pine tree jamboree with a flathead, hup chassis and ford axel setup, this is what early hot rodding was all about, using what was available in your area to build a custom car to your liking 😁 👍

[@michaelmarusic8499]

👍🏻If it was easy, everyone would be doing it!!!

[@pjsratrods8936]

Cool!! I in the middle of building a front end for my rat rod! I would like to see how you do end up doing this one up. Looking Good!!!!

[@larryhughes5319]

One build after another they always come out amazing sir !! Can’t wait to see it

[@heyyou7512]

What a treat to have Gene Winfield stop by the shop!

[@stephcooper5998]

Chad in football speak the magic of your car builds are made up of a series of "broken field plays". And you are winning. The magic is brought to us by Jolene's excellent camera work.

[@johnshowcarbuilder6720]

When you took that off the spring with ease you surprised me wow

[@annehiggins3559]

Great job thanks for sharing

[@crimson4502]

Awesome! Time to learn more.

Damn that was a tough tear down that old metal is tough stuff

[@jerrybaldwin6955]

That frame for the hupmobile is remarkably well perserved.

[@YYChinook]

We are looking forward to many great weather days here in Canada, this fall

[@Lotsaslots6747]

Enjoying these builds more everyday.

[@johnnygarrett6055]

Sunday funday looks like Chad is in his glory cutting up rust.

[@charlielemmons5525]

So glad the engine turned over easily, but tough luck on the starter. Hope the front end goes easily. Great job by you and Jolene.

[@stephenrouse2233]

Wow! It looks like someone has been shopping for old cars Chad. You’ve got yourself a nice stock of vintage cars in the background there Chad. I don’t remember you having so many.👍👍

[@MrStickety]

Love the idea of the matching truck and hotrod race car package....awesome Chad and Jolene I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 and love the craft👍

[@robf.3271]

Lookin good, thanks for sharing your knowledge on your channel.

[@rickdarr5323]

Dream big and make it happen Chad! Thanks for the motivation... I will be busy in the garage for the last 2 weeks of September.... 👍

[@markallison8854]

Hard work pays off. A lot of cutting but now it fits right in .Have a great night with jolene. God bless you brother 👉⚘⚘⚘♥️♥️🥰🥰😎😎😎

[@TheRichyrich1966]

Love old skool hot rodding. Keep at it Chad and do it for fun like you are doing it's great. Thanks you two for more great content.

[@leosimon9463]

I was only one away from the shirt on todays drawing. Great job again thanks for sharing your time with us.😀 You made me tired just watching you today 😮‍💨

[@brettwilson9334]

Must say, I envy the fine weather you have there right now.

[@georgekorte6291]

Bad Chad, your amazing at what you do my friend. Next time you go to start the motor running keep spraying ether in the carb til it running. You rock buddy!!!

[@kena3750]

Chad’s figured out what’s important in life.

[@christinebornstein8239]

Hi Jolene & Chad: Hot rod project looks like your having fun. It will be a nice hot rod when your done fabricating. Fun is the name of the game! Keep up the great work. Good Job Jolene on filming!

[@johnmacintosh1343]

Love kustomizing and seeing if it will work👍👍👍 keep up the great work!!!! Looks awesome

[@melvinsmith2369]

It seems like a nice day to be working outside 👍

[@robertdehaes9329]

Hello from Nebraska, sunny 78 degrees today, air conditioner finally resting. Another great show today.

[@TheRavnKnight]

you should just make a new crossmember ( 3x3 square tubing ) and bolt springs to it ... this way it will keep your center of gravity lower and more stable and give you a lower stance :)

[@jamielegacy5247]

Excellent video once again keep up the amazing work Chad and Jolene

[@mikeskaggs2028]

gotta love that zip cut it gets the job done ..

[@n_y_o_o_m]

I love it! There arent enough flathead 6 hot rods around! :)

[@man_on_wheels]

Another nice day up there in the great white north! Doing good work.

[@jimmcculloch2336]

Man I'm loving this first the C.O.D and now the GASSA what a combo great bilud. 👍
