ANOTHER HOOD, ANOTHER SURGERY: SHORTENING THE 1936 FORD HOOD

We've got Aidyn welding up the rear quarter panel while we start mocking up the 1936 Ford hood. We're going to shorten it 6 inches and then tack it in place so we can get a visual for how we want to design the grill 🔥

This young man will have learnt a skill that he can use for the rest of his life.....if only more people took the time to share their knowledge like this.

[@abelkotze521]

In a few years banks and related financial services will disappear and millions of people will lose their jobs also because of AI and robotics. University degrees will cover narrowing fields and everubody should develop such skills and grow their own food. This young man will beforever grateful...

[@lethalcrapper69]

Also cheers to the kid for wanting to do the satisfying dirty work that kids his age normal run away. Well done.

[@rodmacleod2994]

What a great opportunity to learn from Bad Chad, the apprentice is a lucky dude. Chad is like the new George Barris except George didn’t let people in his shop or show all the trade secrets

[@rodmacleod2994]

The apprentice is a good welder !

[@Prepping2endure]

What a GREAT pleasure it is to see you taking on and teaching the younger generation.. MY Hat's off to you Fine sir for a JOB WELL DONE!!

[@randynaylor45]

He is teaching a old dog new tricks too.

[@grc3029]

Welcome Adian to Hiltz co. From an avid viewer ,. The artist has a protege ,and some well deserved help , he'll learn a wealth of knowledge , Thankyou Chad n Jolene keep it coming , it's the highlight of my day , always look forward to checking in !

[@ronc6249]

Aidyn is doing great with the welding! He seems like a good kid.

[@fagustini]

Just wanted to say Thank you Chad and Jolene……. 40 years ago I lost sight in my eye from a firework accident… this left me with a large pupal that lets in too much light and no vision in that eye or depth perception. Long story short I gave up Truck driving, working on and fixing car stuff, body work and most stuff that I enjoyed. My life changed. I discovered Chad and Jolene on youtube and started following their story and looking forward to each episode. Not that I don’t watch others but for some reason, after each episode I would get excited about trying welding or fabbing something just to get that amazing feeling of accomplishment. Most times I would mess up and just shut everything down and cover everything back up.. I continued to watch more episodes and I watched Chad’s talk with the kids at the school and how some of them reacted. Then for some unknown reason I decided to try to finish a project I started years ago welding up a compressor for the garage. My first few tries went like usual and I missed what I was trying to weld due to the lack of perception. But then something clicked and I started spotting welds 4 inches apart. Then coming back between in even increments and little by little I had a seam that I could grind and it actually looked good. Chad I even ran upstairs and stole one of my wife’s coat hangers and actually welded a gap 1/8 inch with success…. Holy crap… I’m back.. I finished the compressor and am starting on a exhaust fan project for the garage that I’ve been putting off…. Sorry for long wind but really just wanted to say more than I usually do and thank you both…. Frank

[@kelvinbrewer6893]

I have taken alot of those rods out, they are hardened rod and I remember breaking the first one off and what a mess I had, that's when I got smart and came up with the idea of welding something to the end and use a slide hammer or a air chisel such as you did. AMAZING how fast it comes out! I love watching you and am happy you listen to your viewers. I learned alot from my elders and now that I am a somewhat elder with over 50 years experience it makes me feel great that someone listens to me. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

[@coherantbliss3483]

Chad you're the man! for teaching and giving Aidyn a chance to see what working with his hands and tools is all about. Giving him an example and opportunity to think outside the box/use his imagination. Kudos bro. Your shop is like mine...some of it organized, some of it not so organized...I pictured a designated wall space to hang all your different length levels and think I'm going to do that in my shop. Now they're leaning against a bench, in tool boxes and hanging on a spare nail somewhere...maybe I'll hang the Squares with them too. Something Aidyn could do for you when he has nothing to do??? hehe. peace

[@trickysubject8563]

I have been sitting and watching you work for some time now Chad, your mental visualisation is second to none my friend. I couldn’t be happier for Jolene and you. This project has my mouth watering, truly a beautiful creation being conceived and built in front of our very eyes. Kudos to you sir. Kudos to you both. (And the new lad seems great).

[@codycheney3401]

you know it'd be fun to see you with a crew of people and endless supply of room and parts to see how your creativity really was. It's always fun to build but, the lack of time, money, parts, room etc.... always stands in the way. I'm suprised that you didn't eald a small plate uner the front of the 2 hood pieces to keep the distance and hieghth the same and then do it with all the grill pieces. I like what yours thinking about on the grill. I still would love to see a 5.9L Cummins in that for an endless supply of power and I have to say I love the sound too ! Keep on building !

[@esan9683]

Snubbed the front end 6”… AWESOME! Love it!

[@gordiesullivan3289]

Ayden is a great asset,lots of times you need that extra hand.

[@MrStevenDeer]

Great to see you helping a new generation of builders, and the hood looks great

[@jayshotwell9764]

Chad was talking about a possible roll out bed floor I think he should check out the barn door tracks with the rollers inside the tubs. They make it in square tubing and round I think would be awsome for his cabover just a thought from ohio I think lows and tractor supply Cary track and rollers

[@EdwardTilley]

Ikea tracks use a german engineered system. Any drawer is going to add weight, which is why pickups don't use them.

[@ronc6249]

It's great that you have a helper now Chad as that will help you get more done and work on a couple of your projects at a time. The young man is learning from the best! Way to go Chad!

[@mlb3135]

This is for Chad - one of the best things about watching you is how simply and clearly you explain yourself. You are really easy to work with and to work for. Well done!!!!

[@jacksellar1692]

Finally - my imagination has caught up to yours! I feel so much better now …… as I can - now finally see - what you have been able to see all through the build! I am so slow ….. but you are truly amazing ….. you saw the “possibilities” from day one! Amazed at your skills! Aiyden - pay attention! You can learn a “bunch” from Chad. You are on lucky young man!

[@sprezzatura8755]

I think Aidyn is the type of kid when you go out to run some errands and come back to the shop and everything is tidied up.

[@MinisterCrowley]

Really cool,glad to see you mentoring a young person, who actually wants to learn.Most young people of today,don't want to do any type of manual labor.I work for a large Mso collision repair facility, It's hard to find your people who want to come in the business. Thank you four sharing your journey, and being a mentor.

[@joshlavoye9429]

To be honest I would do the round corner door style because of being that high. Like we all know that those pointed doors hurt like a son of a gun lol.

[@antoniocovarrubias7831]

This is why I love to work on old cars, when you have the initiative and talent to create, there’s no limit for a masterpiece on those classic lines on old cars.

[@redlinepaul410]

You can use a 1/4 inch special rebar called pencil rod to form out body panels or to reinforce shaped structural panels. Its perfect smooth round bar and easy to bend or form. Its like $3 for a ten foot rod at your local hardware or concrete block suppliers. I use it to make lock out kit tools to open car doors when people leave their keys in the car. Orange County Choopers used the method with pencil rod to make fuel tanks, frames, and fenders.

[@jim-cu9yp]

I don't criticize the way a man does his work as long as it doesn't affect another persons health . So given that you have an apprentice working in earshot of all the high decibel level noise I urge you to make sure Aidyn is wearing ear protection at all times, I assume Jolene is already using ear protection.Please put all the guards on the rotating pieces of equipment it's not if they explode it is when they explode,the flying bits are not selective of who they will penetrate at the speed of sound

[@josephmurphy8129]

It’s nice to see your ideas come together and sing. You mentioned your idea is to use long lengths of square tube for the sides of the grill. Not mentioning where they come to the front center of the body is going to look like , what if you take each tube and at the nose of the car they a transition from square tube to a vertical fin maintaining the line and incorporated with possibly other vertical fins in the front grill . Just a thought from an idle mind . Great work !

[@baldanddangerous1572]

aidyn is doing a grand job for you ,its great you have help now

[@monadking2761]

I'm glad you read the comments. Take a pair of vice grips and where the nerled adjusting nut goes in the back of the handle. Take it out and weld up a adapter bolt to a slide hammer small dent puller. This way you can clamp anything and use the slide hammer to pull on things with alot of force. Good job with the pneumatic hammer. I wish Canada will open the US boarders soon. I would to go up there for a vacation and stop in and visit you both. I want to see the early Sun rise.

[@joecolosi1795]

Bad Chad, The KZbinr who is the most deserving of my time. The time I spend watching this man, is time we’ll spent. You can learn more from watching this man for an hour, than you can from watching another channel, over the span of an entire week. Mic drop. Da Pigge.

[@griffithbuilds5284]

After every step it gets easier to visualize the finished product. Great to see the whole process

[@micdarj]

I think watching the process of someone working through their creative mind and applying in "real time" is the only way to fully appreciate their creation.

[@michaelrosebud]

Hi Chad & Jolene, suggestion: Where camping is so very popular, why not install a (incase you should sell the cab over) Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch, for a fifth wheel, or a regular ball hitch for tongue towing. You'd need horsepower, the right gears, and transmission, and a tongue GVW towing weight of somewhere around 3 to 5 thousand pounds, enough for a small 16 to 18 foot camper. Just a thought, again, where camping is so popular. Keep up the great work & videos, stay safe and the best from Washington State :-)

[@glengee4462]

You are a weapon, I myself am a fabricator but mainly focus on new modifications and custom builds of aluminium canopies etc. You have the skills, knowledge and drive most would only dream about. Hope your apprentice can go through the long journey to Aquire the mindset,vision and skills to continue a dying trade. Much respect from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@randynaylor45]

I really enjoy watching every day I can. I am a 40 year master Jewler. I have been building hot rods all my life starting in the 1962. every day I learn something watching Bad Chad. other days I am dieing to help and can not get threw the masses. any way thanks Chad.

That Grill is going to look great. I love watching you work and figure things out on the fly. takes a brilliant mind to do that.

[@ford_truck_garage]

I love that you re-purpose parts from other builds and can visualize something from scrap laying around. My entire '46 Ford truck was built this way. Parts from '46- 2001. Even some Freightliner stuff.

[@jonbarc4489]

Amazing. It's really nice a car community can come together all over the world with great ideas. Jol chad are doing inspirational work

[@mikehalm164]

It's a little thing, but Aiden anticipated Chad would need the extension cord and had it ready for the grinder to be plugged in. I've seen literaly hundreds of young guys in my 55 year working life whose thumbs were stuck uo where the sun doesn't shine and would never try to think how to be helpful. Also, they were rarely interested in learning. Fortunately, there were many who have/had sucessful careers who learned to anticipate and learned well.

[@davemcgillivrav7426]

Q ...how r you planning to service the engine when done

[@darylmorgan9887]

Great to see young Aidyn on board for that little bit of extra help when needed but make sure he he knows safety always comes first. I am sure you will teach him well Chad @ Jolene

I'm just amazed at the talent you have. I'm sure this young man is going to be inspired by you.

[@billcarothers9182]

Yes just like Chad is inspired by Gene Winfield !!

[@geofo60]

@@billcarothers9182 That’s all it takes, give them a chance, encourage them and point them in the right direction when they get things wrong. Lecturing young folks makes them rebel and some go off the rails. My only claim to fame as far as Gene Winfield goes is a photograph of him sat in my ‘32 Ford Roadster when he came over here to the U.K. Oh & also he & I are “old school” panel beaters and custom paintwork guys.

That grill is gonna be awesome! Can’t wait to see that come together. Aidyn looks like he’s doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

[@pjsratrods8936]

Putting the kid to work! I like what I’m seeing. For the hood maybe you could have it cantilever on a front hinge with the fenders and all like a Semi trucks. That would be wild. Also allow you to weld up the front end as one big piece.

[@russupsidedowntopbottom955]

glad to see you have a helper apprentice.. pass those skills down to the next generation bravo sir!

[@lloydosmondjr1]

I am in love with this build. I am getting inspired every day by your guy's videos. Not only with getting ready to rebuild my own 49 International but inspired to grow my KZbin channel.

[@martybrumback2201]

Your creativity is awesome can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@richardcooper6622]

On the back of this project you mentioned using it as a hauler for motor cycles. But have you ever considered making this into an antique wrecker? You could add lights in border of the reverse half of the box in the back for tie downs for the cycles, or use that to hold parts for towing. With the size of the vehicle, it seems odd to me, not making it into a wrecker? Not the fancy ones we see today, but the antique looking ones back in their day. Just came to me today to see if you had considered this before or not?

On the lower inside portion of the hood on each side would round tubing be easier to bend and still give you a finished edge along the the inside edge.
