Bad Chad's 1939 Studebaker | chopped, channeled, sectioned, bagged, shaved, and widened

[@seandonohoe437]

Totally amazing ,how can people knock Chad's builds , he builds cars on a budget and turns out incredible works of art like this ! people should give him the respect he deserves .

[@rossmoore2844]

I don’t understand how people are so critical of your builds. You build them for nearly nothing, out of nearly nothing! Incredible!

[@trybriguy1357]

Chad, check you adjustment screws on the carb. It's running really rich. When you drove out, the exhaust was really black. I hope this helps.

[@jerryscray1789]

Too much choke causes that too

[@trybriguy1357]

@@jerryscray1789 Not enough air or too much gas. Maybe even try draining the gas tank and starting with new gas. I don't think that the problem but, after sitting that long, it wouldn't hurt!!

[@matthewgibbs6886]

hell no add plugs to the exhaust make some flame throwers

[@lukesmith8547]

I saw that too

[@blanchae]

@@jerryscray1789 I agree, looks like the choke is stuck on or misadjusted.

[@chadkarmann8067]

That car is what it is all about!!!!!!! You are a great builder! Sometimes I don't get your vision but it's not about what my taste is. Real hot rod and custom car people will always find common ground. Common ground is that car and your amazing talent. And you are a great dad letting your kid take that to prom! God Bless you and your family!

[@michaelbristol6467]

This car came out of Jim's stash (Superfly) Patterson, love this build ! The VW hood as a decklid with the waterfall quarter panels, The Champ nailed it !!! 👍😍

[@michaelbristol6467]

On the show the deal was $800 👍✌

[@jodycopeland1]

I am in Tennessee I build race cars and such I am currently building a 1940 Chevy business coupe in my dads honor and memory wish I could afford to hire Bad Chad but I have learned a lot from watching y’all show keep up the good work

[@philipjohnson2608]

Good day Chad and Jolene. You two make every day amazing. What a wonderful channel you two do for us all every single time. Thank you two for all you do and God bless

[@71flatwindow]

My 71 flat window superbeetle is the same color. I love it and I can't, not see my beetle every time Jolene pans by the trunk. Keep up the excellent work and fantastic content you two!

[@ianharvey5676]

This is my favourite of all chads builds . Outstanding

[@CamaroRick]

Its a miracle its running on 3 year old gas. With the ethanol added it absorbs water which sinks to the bottom of the tank and corrodes up the fuel system as its the first thing that gets sucked up in the line. I used to have to clean my carbs out on a yearly basis to keep it running on this trash fuel. Beautiful car!

[@billh8972]

Of all your custom builds, I think this is my favorite. Can't wait to see the Bugatti, but right now this one takes the ribbon as far as I'm concerned.

[@timcarlisle9598]

Can't wait for that blue Hotcar

[@robertbedsole8682]

Gorgeous!!!!! Don't really sound that bad either. Drain the bowl(s) & tank then fresh gas, air cleaner & oil change, and an hour of drive time w/some highway speed and she'll be fine. (maybe check dist cap/coil...I've had those coil-on-caps collect condensation in storage then start stumbling) Rock on guys!

[@casedoumasr656]

Great accomplishment and that does not even do its Justice. I do remember when it was built so with a tip of 🎩 and a big smile to all that helped build it is a very true crowd stopper 🏆❤️😎👍

[@mrcaps1971]

What a gorgeous car. Royal respect to Chad and Jolene for building this in a month. Maybe you could dedicate an episode each week showcasing and driving one of your many cars. Thanks for the upload 😊

[@sheldonkleeman759]

Good to see a project that I've never seen before thanks Chad and Jolene

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Chad, it just needs fresh fuel and a highway tune-up. Dump in a can of Berriman's and take it for a 50 mile run. It'll clear up fine. Beautiful car! As usual it's a work of art.

[@virtuestreams2616]

Once a week “Drive time with Chad & Jolene”: I’d watch it! Y’all could devote 15-20 minutes of uncut footage and showcase a build. Use a two shot method to record the monologue and cruise-little or no editing should be required. Let’s go!

[@immrnoidall]

I agree. That would be nice.

[@jtuck6065]

Absolutely agree!!!

[@BUB-oy7me]

Thats a great idea!

[@RussBillard]

saved me from typing, i agree.

[@hughpayne1173]

Your number 1 car proves to everyone, or should, that you're number 1 at what you do !!!! Jolene is the best and your respect of your profession, and one another, is unprecedented. My wife loves that and the way you say car. I just love everything. Keep inspiring you and I'll ride your coat tail cause I'll never achieve your skill level but I will die trying because of all that you do !

[@williamdahlen1654]

Hello Chad & Jolene and Aidyn . Your building some of the best cars anywhere. I cant wait to see Jolenes get done . it will be a great build. I hope that you all have a great day everyday.

[@guidononya7368]

Love it. Love when a car has the fat round fenders and rounded nose and trunk with a matching bubble top. And recycling the VW hood for the trunk lid was an awesome idea. Very Cool, very stylish.

[@jimcoplan9502]

A classic build. Still looks terrific Chad. Great video as always Jolene.

[@marckeisler4878]

Your bowl inlet needle valves are probably stuck open and dumping fuel in the intake, common when sitting for long time. Do the tap screwdriver handle on bowl housing trick and see if it clears up. Replace the plugs after. Or take it to someone to rebuild the carb. Love the car! Absolutely beautiful!!

[@rickdaystar477]

The lines are beautiful Chad ! They just flow. Excellent work I'd love to own it.

[@bullvine2062]

I’m from the uk and worked in New foundland plus have good mates from there and Canada. I can tell you this,Chad keep it up. Your vision is unique. Keep your son with you too, and as always keep your sweet strong women by your side. Nice one mate

[@richardgoody6509]

What a great piece of working art ... glad to see it will be working again .... best of luck at the prom

[@JasmineJDMgirl]

You do fantastic work 👏 💪, I live in Sydney australia 🇦🇺 and one does not really see this type of thing here any more ,You Chad and Jolene are one of the most truthful people I see on the Tube, you guys make my eyes roll 😀 😉 when I see how you show the most simple and straightforward process you use its so cool to watch listen andlearn, I have learnt from you guys how to attack a project car 🚗 redesign my way of thought towards my own car projects you have give me massive encouragement and how to save ! not just throw money at my project cars please keep up your fantastic work , designe an imagination. SUPER RESPECT FROM ME TO YOU STAY SAFE KINDEST REGARDS Jasmine the JDM girl 👧 from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 💕

[@donaldkvarta8723]

Another badass ride. Masterfully built Chad, thank you for sharing it with us.👍

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Chad, the car look bad as hell in the daylight. You did a fantastic job building that car in 35 days. I never seen the show when you were doing your cars. I just found you on KZbin a little while ago. The first one I caught you were in the warehouse were your cars are and showing and explaining about them. That's were I seen the business man coupe, my dream car. Been looking for a 1939 mopar business man coupe, seems like forever. Just can't find one. Love what you do and your channel. Take care and be safe both of you.

[@mattcasoni]

Great car. The VW trunk fits perfect. Almost wish that center of the trunk was flat like the sides because I recognize that trunk so well. Awesome job. Totally badass! Thank you Chad and Jolene!

[@markcrum787]

All our builds come out beautiful Chad & Jolene, This car is a tribute to your craftsman ship and great ideas. Can't wait for the next one. I really enjoy every minute of your builds. Thanks and enjoy your day!

[@cgenus1]

Very cool. I think you should get all the cars up and running and drive them once in a . While and do a review like this for each it would be great to learn all the design stuff you did

[@paulcecil3537]

You are a beautiful family, and hopefully this will inspire a lot of the other young people in the community to get interested in becoming artists like Bad Chad and Jolene.

[@maliiiwa]

Would be nice to see Chad drive a different build once a week maybe, just take a cruise.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Great idea I'll second that comment cheers 🍺🍻🇦🇺😎👍

[@crkproductions5000]

I’ll third the comment

[@mikehoncho9344]

He ain't got time for that

[@abbottsplace8080]

That would be great. I so agree.

[@rod4166]

I almost never comment on KZbin videos. However, I watched my first Bad Chad video today and holy hell this dude is a mad genius! As he described fabricating this absolutely gorgeous Studebaker using wood, exhaust pipes, and a Volkswagen hood, I was totally hooked. Keep up the great work ... I'm gonna go watch some more of these videos.

[@donwilliams3626]

The wooden flooring is unique and impressive. This is her prom ride. It will be a real head turner for all to see. Best to you Harley.

[@brianrichardson7946]

I don't remember the name or location in the states but a guy with either a car collection or museum collection showed all of the cars stored for display with battery tenders and nothing in the fuel tank but a 50/50 mixture of aviation and race fuel. He said every car starts and runs with no carburetor issues. No varnish or fuel line rot.

[@mattlyons6134]

You definitely have skills my brother! Luv seeing something built without a million dollar budget.

[@williamgarrity9482]

I love what you n Jolene do with automotive industry, if I had yours talent n budget I would be happier than I am , iam pretty happy now, iam 62 young n still working on Junk love me some old fossil fuel burners making it down the roads.thanks for all you en do .God bless yall real good.

[@XCHANGEDAVE]

You should definitely take it for a drive. Make sure it works the way it should. Harley sure is lucky.

[@tonymosca6591]

What sets Chad’s chops apart is that unless there was a stock car next to it, it is hard to tell that was even chopped. Looks original to me.

[@CurtisRoyArt]

Yes, I believe all the Studes came with a VW nose on the back end.

[@paulmatott8331]

Now that's a cool looking car ! Bad Chad , Jolene & Fina Do wonderful work . Thanks for the invite !

[@Jimsathome]

I was naïve enough that I believed the Buyers of Chad's Builds in the show actually bought the cars. It wasn't until I saw Chad's barn full of all the builds on this KZbin Channel, some time ago, that I realized I'd been fooled. So much for "reality" TV on Velocity. Royal Respect is one of my favorites.

[@TimHackett-t6q]

I came to the same realization after I saw queen jolenes video explaining these cars are Chad's art and there is never a customer it is all just for tv

[@TimHackett-t6q]

These cars are like orange county choppers don't look too close and don't ever drive it

[@TrashcanGarage]

A true, old school custom that doesn't look like everyone else's. 👍

[@douglasnicholls1366]

Too late I'm sure, but Ford carbs seem to like to stick the needle and seat so it doesn't close. Pours gas into the engine and it only runs well with the gas on. Either that or clean it out with a fast run up the mountain. This is one beautiful machine, and I didn't even notice the Bug hood until you pointed it out. Second the Drive Time idea, sitting isn't good for these cars and invites the rodents. Look into dealer plates so you can swap 'em.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

I'd love to have this in my shed, absolutely awesome build, craftsmanship plus, hope your doing well guys, cheers KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺😎👍

[@AGuysGarage]

been sitting four years? probably needs some carb work. Tremendous artistry involved in that ride. Very creative. soooo clean! You and Jolene keep living your best life Mr. Chad. Really enjoy your content.

[@Bigbob458]

This is defo ur best build yet.... Looks stunning... Like something from 1930s Flash Gordon but cooler. 👌

[@pistolgripjoe]

Ain't gonna lie but that's gotta be one of my favorite builts ... looks sooo period correct sone Gene himself would have build... super sick Chad ... hope u read this comment..nothing but respect and positivity from me man...

[@Chelseahandyman]

Chad and Jolene, This car is stunning! Love the lines of this car; you are an artist!

[@monadking2761]

It's a great looking car! It was smoking black a little at the beginning of the video. Check the choke and make sure the weights are working properly in the distributor for the advance. doubled check the power valve too. See if she bogs if you accelerate, give it a good drive first.

[@drrick8839]

The hubcaps are amazing. I was wondering what they were from. Very unique!

[@andsonpoa]

I'd like to see more of Joline and how she develops as a car builder. She seems to take an interest in car building and can become a real asset to work in the workshop.

[@williambuhrer3524]

This is my favorite car you built on the show!!!! Beautiful car, great job Chad.!!!!!

[@31847448]

Beautiful body work ! Love the use of a VW hood for the trunk lid. Great royal blue paint . Nice and low . Amazing how you don’t scrape .

[@metalgeniusjoe5602]

Incredible talent, Chad. Really impressive channel. I don't do cars and bikes and all that, but I sure learned a heck of a lot from you and your awesome channel.

[@blueovallife6868]

Stunning car. Still blows my mind how quickly it was built. Impressive from every angle.

[@Electron_libre3.0]

[@austingreenough6396]

Wow Bad Chad,that is an absolutely gorgeous car . I admire your great work, you are a master of fabrication and car design. Enjoy your videos Many Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents.

[@andrewst.michael5179]

That's One Sweet Ride Chad

[@patricklavigne4453]

Who ever you sell the car, will probably put a fresh modern motor and transmission in to it. Then the car would be complete. That is the missing link to the build. But you deserve the utmost respect for the kind of creative builds that do.

[@Shornandkenny]

I love this style. I even love the jaguar but the top is definitely a bit off lol. But, boats had curves with square windshields so its a look that has been around in the marine world thats why it doesn't bother me. I want to tow my 1955 feathercraft vagabond any number of your whips chad and Jolene. Google it, you guys should do one, theyre awesome looking and right up your syle alley.

[@jeffreycrossin427]

I would love to see a museum of all your builds. It would give me an excuse to go there for vacation.

[@marcialguzman1625]

Love the detail, love the color beautiful car well put together what a beauty keep the good work coming

[@roscokat6367]

You should be very proud Chad, in my opinion the Royal Respect is your best work. The Car speaks for itself. That year at the Atlantic Nationals you parked it quite close to my son and my cars and our cars were in the background when Gene Winfield was promoting the Bad Cmemories

[@tjlemons6161]

Thats the nicest Studebaker I've ever seen, cool stuff

[@dondotterer24]

Very nice car. Alot of work. Yes new gas and maybe plugs. Accelerator pumps? Next. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@shermandeardeuff7122]

That is a very beautiful car. Very well built. Love it.

[@atelier7227]

Great car! The engine runs very rich. The black clouds give it away. Gently tap the float chamber with the screwdriver or hammer. The float is stuck or the choke flap does not open. Sorry, my english is bad. I hope you know what I mean. greetings from Switzerland

Please help me understand , ? you Build a car or truck/Motor bike what have you for some one or there Business and they Pay to have it Built . How does the build end up back in Chad's storage or is that the tv show's storage , as i have watch way back near beginning of the show and people are presented with there car , now i see them in the Barn??

[@lccavanaugh]

They’ve already said that the selling of the cars to businesses was just for tv. It’s all Chads stuff. Blame Hollywood.

[@russgould7458]

Nice to see something finished using all the techniques you teach every day! Great work guys x

[@kerrybrumbaugh6241]

You got it to start! Good deal! You should disconnect the positive cable on the cars in storage or get trickle chargers like Jay Leno does!

[@barriecollins6838]

Chad and jolene you can definitely tell it's running way to rich on fuel by all the black smoke it's kicking out the exhaust. It may settle down once it warms up a little bit. Fingers crossed all goes well for harleys prom night.

[@JG0en187]

Man say what you like about watching this man work his finished products are so amazing.

[@RB-lf7bo]

Look great Chad...put 1/2 can of sea foam in the tank from sitting so long gas will gell in the float boils and turn yellow and varnish. like oil on top of old paint .. Drain all the gas out of tank put fresh gas. ...hope this help. Guys

[@kennethewertz9313]

That is a cool ride. I am with everyone else. Each week feature another car you did and go for a ride in it. I would watch that no doubt. Not like I don't watch anyway but that would be fun to watch. It's probably a gas thing with the carbonator. The gas we have today can't sit in a car for long, before it starts to do really bad stuff to the components that it goes through. Yes I am really enjoying this Chad and Jolene.

[@jpgolan1944]

It seems Chad does not take care of his cars. What a shame! Such beautiful cars and are just rusting away in the shed😪

[@larryray4811]

Are we allowed to guess as to which of you spends the time to make such a great looking yard?. A welcome site for a change. Enjoyed the show today as much as the others. Variety is good.

Take her for a good rip, fill up with some new supreme gas, and make a small adjustment to the carb. Someone mentioned she seems to be running rich. Beautiful custom car. It's automotive art.

[@tfjack97]

This ride is just as beautiful as it was when you built it on the show. Get some new gas probably would clean it up. Just love this car all of the lines on it just flow's so good. Great video as always Jolene. Chad your vision is so out there, but it comes out looking just gorge. Thanks for the video.

That car is sick. I could stare at it all day

[@nansiblair1529]

Absolutely stunning! Love the colour and everything about it. One of our faves at our house. Loved watching this build. I too think the once a week drive series is a great idea that would be interesting for viewers and would give the cars a run at the same time. If ya ever want to find a new home for this one, it can come to our house!! LOL. Keep up the good work, team.

Wow, what a gorgeous looking car. I always wanted a willy’s coupe when I was younger, but this car to me is like one on steroids, stretched, flattened. The lines, the colour, the way every part fits together, just wow.
