ANOTHER HOOD, ANOTHER SURGERY: SHORTENING THE 1936 FORD HOOD

[@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 !

[@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.

[@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).

[@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 !

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!!!!

[@richardmondor1360]

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 !

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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 !

[@JasonHiland76]

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.

[@sethalbert4319]

What an amazing build Chad. You sir are very talented and inspire younger individuals like myself and others to pursue a dream and make it a reality. A job well done sir. Can’t want to see her finished up!!!

[@MrStevenDeer]

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

[@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.

[@ronc6249]

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

[@oldsquare1]

Love it when you are in "Creative Mode". Your energy & excitement just jumps out at us viewers, and I for one am captivated by it. And Jolene, as always you do a fantastic job capturing the action for us all to enjoy. Keep Rockin' it .....from North Central Ohio U.S.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 🇳🇿

[@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.

[@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. My wedding plans are in my way right now, but I'll still get some vids out before then. maybe I'll do some vids of me building the wedding props. Come on Sept. 4th.

[@orthogluchensnable6777]

Chad your a good man I like how you reinforce the positive work the young man is doing before you know it he'll be cutting your work load in half I really enjoy watching your artistry from a friend in TEXAS

[@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.

[@MsFreemand]

I watch all your videos, I love your style and how you get things done! Your a one of a kind and definitely good at what do! Keep up the good work and thanks for the awesome videos and Jolene compliments you very well, behind every good man stands a good woman and you too make the perfect team!

[@jasonwebster7257]

it is awesome that you are teaching a younger person giving them the opportunity and you and Jolene work great together it is awesome to see that we need more people like you out there keep up the great job

[@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.

[@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 :-)

[@MrDaan]

Newer viewer here started watching about 10 days again. I'm in AZ so I miss your live feed. I really enjoy watching after coming home from work, it helps me relax and tune away from the workday.

[@lindenjohnson1515]

Hi from Manitoba. I really like Aidyn. Very steady, effective and polite young man. I spend a hour of every day watching you guys. Would like to see Jo more often tho. Thanks again!

[@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.

[@davidshumway9639]

Always good stuff. But I can't figure out why you didn't just find a way to extend the body line from the door forward for the bottom of the hood elevation. Also, the hood could be built on the floor or a table. And always remember as you have told us before, your shop isn't level. The cars can't be assumed to be level especially when they are sitting on tires and suspension. So trying to use a level on the car isn't precise in the least. Daily watched and love it all. Sorry if I am coming across too critical. Keep up the good work.

[@weathereddog7650]

Every evening at 5:00 hubby and I watch bad Chad on our big screen! It’s a date every night! We love you guys!!!

[@ate-updesigns9186]

Wow...definitely got a visual now with the top of the hood on...and the grill is gonna be coool as hell...Im really enjoying this...gets my creative juices goin...excellent work and thank you for another great episode...Chad and jolene and Aiden..probably didn't spell his name right but stick with chad and jolene and you can't go wrong.

[@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

[@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.

[@MIKEH.777]

Measure between both hoods at the firewall in at the front make sure both spaces are even then your grill will go through and be even. But it's looking really good looks better everyday. I like where you're going with it.🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

[@brookemclean9070]

You are doing a great job, Chad, so is Jolene. I’m happy you have a helper now. Don’t forget to get him to help you. I know you are used to doing everything on your own. Enjoying your show.

[@EdwardTilley]

You need to measure for center of the bottom hood. You're having trouble eyeballing the middle of the car at the bottom of that grill-center; use a laser leveler with horizontal and verticle if you have one handy. I also think the artist rending had a shorter top hood - and the center grill "post" would be nice with a curve (as seen from the side of the car - like the 35 Chrysler had). A curve to match the top hood near the top and then less curve as it approaches the top of the lower hood (instead of a straight center grill-support). You want to be able to see the front of the car while driving so that you don't roll over someone. I'd vote for a stationary verticle grill like the rendering - as opposed to horizontal; work on the engine from the side; the sides that were on the top hood could have been reshaped. It's a puzzle that ever automaker has solved for 100-years so keep looking. By the way, this is a diesel vehicle now (due to its size) - so I'd start thinking about that engine.

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

Just a quick nanny note before the fun starts. I know as a welder that I can get away with short sleeves if I'm just doing a couple quick welds.
