[@donaldscheer5206]

I'm Working On My Wife's Capri (Front Brakes, Ball Joints, Driveline CV Axle Hub Bearing Replacement, My Point Is: Never Did This On A Front Wheel Drive Car And I Was Nervous! ... After Watching You Chad & Jolene I'm No Longer Nervous! ... "Don't Be Scared!" Let's Go Do It!! THANK YOU! You Both Are A VERY POSITIVE INFLUENCE!!

I have been in all aspects of the auto industry for over 43 years. A lot of our work comes from people who weren’t afraid of tearing into a job and soon finding out that they were way in over their heads, especially on new cars and trucks. Most of the time it cost more money than it would have if they had taken it to a professional to start with.

[@DarthVader1977]

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

I love the message Chad sends ... even if you are lime me and u love missing and shaping .... you can relate to his insistence .... that time saved , not sanding and fussing with each step ..... I’d personally compromise .... and block litely each application .... to ensure good shape ..... but in the end , it’s all about the last coat or “ Millimetre” or prep before paint !!

[@johnboudreau6810]

I did this body fill flooding back in the early 80's It does work just fine and like you say it saves time and it looks good at the end. I had a old grand le mans wagon that I did all over. I even rebuilt the engine and trans . Chad you are a master at doing this .

[@DarthVader1977]

an* old Grand* LeMans*

[@markmarotti3623]

the ocean floor analogy works awesome. What you have shown in these videos took me years to learn . I always tried putting almost no filler and adding and adding over and over to save some materials and costing me time .

[@howardmarshall5713]

I absolutely sure that you get the respect you deserve Chad from myself and I think I can speak for all your fans. I've seen that you pay attention to everyone watching you and have even used some of their suggestions. So thank you and the beautiful Jolene for the great entertainment.

[@DarthVader1977]

We’re sitting here watching Bad Chad with my 82 year old mom and she’s very impressed with the passion that Chad puts into his work!

[@spfunk8812]

Wish i had seen this 40 years ago, i was taught that you had to rough up the previous coating before applying next coat, such a timesaver, wish i was still doing autobody work but am retired and health issues won't allow me to. I appreciate all your videos Chad & Jolene. Do have one request Chad, we want to see more of Jolene!!! HAHAHA! Thanks

[@fredhoman6101]

Great video again,love the way you're explaining every single thing you're doing on a build,it's the master teaching everybody and showing his years of experience building on the fly,also great filming of Jolene,thanks for sharing

[@matthewfocke5360]

Ice the cake! Thanks for sharing. Your filler is the, Icing on the Cake. It makes it look fabulous...The unifying butter that smooths the surface of the body out. I can't wait to see how you design the rear end of the car so it fits in with the back end of the truck. The anticipation is mounting...How, What and Where? Chad and Jolene, This truck is a masterpiece in the making. I can't wait to see it on the road. I'd pay you for a ride in it. You are making Truck Design history. Cool beans!

[@mouse5178]

I do a lot of decorating repairs, just something I’ve learnt to do over the last 10 years and I could see me finding this quite easy. Cheers for the video

[@davidgross137]

I will have to say, in the beginning of this build I was lost. The finished product shows your attention to detail and true craftmanship.!!!!

[@kennethamerine8026]

I love learning how to do things I have always wanted to do. Thank you Chad and Jolene for filming your build

[@keithkimsten5111]

I was a prototype maker for a long time and I'm enjoying watching another prototype maker making a reality from a dream. Thanks to both of you for sharing your talents with us!

[@johnberry5063]

I love watching people being creative and loving what they are doing! Nice work!

[@kiwiwifi]

Chad is a man that chooses his battles. This serves him well and is key to achieving his creative vision. Grinding and sanding fibreglass is a huge challenge and a battle bet avoided.. It eats time and consumables and, destroys your tools too.

[@jerrellkull5347]

Even after many years of doing this, i learn everytime i watch one of your videos, and thank you. Take care Chad and Jolene.

[@robertstevison1448]

Awesome class !!!! Would love to see the finished build have been searching but unable to find it you are a genius Chad and Jolene the queen is an awesome support for you !!!! Never stop being who yall are that's what makes you 💯

[@marshalllhiepler]

Much respect for so many things presented in your videos, Chad. To have skills is awesome. But, to take the time to teach those skills to others, is commendable. Further, Chad, you never seem to post a video that fails to remind me of how I should treat my wife. Thank you, for all of the above! 😎👍

[@fyx812]

I've done body work on all my vehicles over the years, and the one thing I wish I had was a helper mixing the mud so I could keep applying it. I always had to Stop and remix, like your doing. But thanks for the VIDEO, BTW... COOL LOOKING TRUCK, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FINISHED RESULTS...

We loved watching the Executive Producer, Owner, Welder, Camera person, Merch person, welding like a champ!!!

[@desmondfall9547]

BAD CHAD JUST LOVE THE WAY YOUU MAKE THESE OLD CARS FROM NEXT TO NOTHING; YOU DO THE BEST WORK THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.AND YOU DO MOTOVATE ME TO TRY TO BUILD SOMETHING FROM SCRATCH.

[@ThomasSmith-rp6xv]

Its awesome to see all of the real world work that goes into making a nice car or truck! Not very many folks show that! It takes alot of hard work to make something like that!

[@TITLECITYSPORTS.]

GREAT job Chad some reason I missed this build 3yrs later. But it's new to me🚙

[@charlielemmons5525]

When it comes to the body work, you do a great job. Building this truck on the fly is not an easy task. You do what has worked for you and has been tried and tested. Jolene does a fabulous job with the camera work.

[@goldenhippie6352]

Yeah I believed west Coast Custums to do amazing work as well until I seen their products in person.

[@codycheney3401]

body work is so deverse and done in so many ways. You're doing what i think i'd do it like. I'd probably put resin in my body filler too because it goes on smoother with less pin holes. I think the biggest mistake made is when you put filler here and there several times instead of flooding the whole thing. I like using a cheese grater before reappling filler if you catch it right it helps level it out making it all go faster. It saves on sandpaper because you don't dull it getting the top off of it. Keep up the good work !

[@davidgreen3004]

I'd love to see the cab over build go to the next level one day, love to see it painted and driving 🚗 chad and Jolene. Absolutely love watching the different cars 🚗 you have been working on 😅

[@rat8356]

Oh im scared alright!..lol 50 min it took just to spread out one coat of mud over just part of one qtr panel, which is kinda a easy flat open spot..And then to think that needs to be sanded and repeat another coat of mud and then if it was me i would switch to a coat of glazing putty..all those steps need sanded between..Gives you an idea of how many hrs its going to take to just do the mud work!...Oh and mudding all the concave body line sections that you have to spread the mud out with your fingers and then get creative with different sanding blocks...jeez so much work!! and so much money in sand paper and mud..And to think we havent even got to fill primer yet which has about just as many steps!!..im glad you still got the motivation in you Chad

[@friarbuck640]

Love seeing all the steps in your creative process.

[@justanonymous8858]

I enjoy the whole process from fab, to fill, to paint. My 37 Chevy truck needs lots of work and you give me the info and the confidence to tackle it. Thanks for sharing your passion with us all. Why does your body fill give you so much time to work with it. Without the resin, I always run out of time even on smaller batches. (brand maybe)

[@jameslawson5959]

You and joline are doing a great job. By watching you on this build I have learned a few things. And watching the video as a whole it is done well.

[@dannydiaz8151]

You know I must say you took that car to a whole another level I'm straight old school I'm 59 years old I like everything straight original but this that you got going on right here very very interesting can't wait to see the finished product you definitely are a master and customizing very nicely brilliantly done a lot of thinking went into that can't wait to see the finished product God bless

Looking forward to the work between the cabover and the 36 to keep the content changing and everyone excited to see the build progressing. Nice Job Chad and Jolene. Enjoy your weekend

[@adanjuarezjr5135]

Love the videos man, you speak nothing but the truth lots of haters out there talk down on people for not doing things “by the book”. I’m not experienced at all I just took in a job from a friend just so I can practice at work, my coworkers told me I have no idea what I’m doing and that I’m never gonna learn how to do it by doing it by myself, I did a whole color change on my bimmer 2 years strong and it looks the same as it did when It came out, like you said stop being scared and do better every job

[@matthewesslinger797]

Love watching you guys work! Your work inspires me to push harder and build better! I'm a young(ish) collision repair tech on his way into restorations and custom work( want to learn metal finishing and how to build my own panels. ) I have a question however, what sort of adhesion do you get when putting bonds over unsanded fibre reinforced filler? usually when I do mud work I sand with 80 grit or coarser for mechanical adhesion on bare metal and 40-80 grit over fibre reinforced filler. I am not judging at all, just want to learn and expand my knowledge. Thank you so much for you time and I look forward to your response!

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

Unfortunately you won't get a response. I can see he doesn't have the time to answer everyone's questions or chat with people on here, but he should at least answer 2 questions per video. I've noticed the ones that do that keep their subscribers and gain even more!

[@devincody1928]

Ive been following your channel for about a month now you do good work chad

wish i was there to help you out doing the fill and sand work it sure is satisfying after doing all the repair work and to finally get to the filler work applying it like a sculptor sanding and feeling and seeing it come to life and then seeing all the hard tedious labor of finally getting it done then painted . only to wanting to get started on another project to stay in the groove.

Hello Chad and Jolene, I must say I really enjoyed your tv show, but am THRILLED to be watching your real world YT work MUCH more! These builds are very educational (in a down and dirty, but still highly professional way) and this truck is especially mesmerizing. The flood is a great analogy. Aside from not grinding the welds to save time, am I safe in assuming those welds are stronger?! Keep up the good work! Shawn

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

I'm just about ready to do the same thing with my full four door CJ-7 widened it out to 75" on 6" C channel frame. Still has removable doors and the windshield folds down with the fiberglass removable top. The hardest part will be the soft top and folding frame. But that's what makes these projects fun! Looking good!👍

Chad is so quick applying that mud, seems like a bigger mixing board just might do the trick. He does go through it quickly. 👍
