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

We're cutting the front end off a junked 1936 Ford chassis to mount on the 1935 Hupmobile 518d chassis that we plan on using for the flathead race car build. This is what hotrodding is all about.. using what you have 🔥

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!

[@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…

[@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.

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.

[@gbdrywall]

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

[@Mr51Fargo]

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

[@joebourque4860]

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

[@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.

[@aabartu3]

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

[@RolandFieldsTV]

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

[@scottcardona19]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@fredricandersson7161]

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

[@oxyfee6486]

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

[@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!

[@1944chevytruck]

AWESOME WORK!...thanks 4 video. be kind.

[@i8ntnuts]

I wanted to fast forward yesterday’s video to see if the six would run. Unfortunately I already knew the answer when I saw that fella spin a 6 V starter with a 12 V battery. Chad, If you ever want to see one of your cars actually drivable, or even run for that matter, you are going to have to find a decent mechanic willing to help you. The fellow you had there yesterday was an absolute disaster. He did not have a clue about how to start this old motor. It was hard to watch him destroy your parts Chad. At this point you need to convert what you have to 12 Volts . (if you intend to have a drivable Hot Rod) I’m really surprised there’s not a mechanic in the area willing to help you. Maybe someone in the area will see yesterday’s video of that fella trying to start your Hup six and offer to help.

[@reddymon]

You don’t seem to realize that running a six volt starter with 12 volts is a very common mod. In general it is not a problem. However the 12v will spin the engine substantially faster so a very old starter or one on the verge of breaking can fail.

[@walkertongdee]

He blew that starter up real good, will it start no effin way...

[@drewspencer1068]

JIM OR DOUG WOULD HAVE GOT THE JOB DONE.

[@gerard394]

Looked back at the gene winfield video think it’s a older video though Alex would have definitely sorted the engine out

[@thedragon2299]

@@reddymon if you notice, it's usually the guys that have no video content of them doing anything on thier channel that tell everyone how to do things...

[@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 😁 👍

[@brannonmcbroom7619]

Great show Thank you

[@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.

[@Saltbox97]

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

[@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

[@standavis7266]

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

[@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

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

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

[@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.👍

[@kennethlotzgesell4903]

I enjoy your creativity with how everything comes together.

[@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.

[@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 :)
