Blowing a bubble top

Blowing a bubble top -- the process is very similar to baking cookies, pre heat the oven to 375 and set a timer for 30 minutes

[@filibertobarrera3839]

This one never gets old,I can watch it 100 times and still get excited at seeing the process.

[@jeffholley454]

You know teachers are not always smart. Its people with balls that are willing to try. Thats what makes things! Thanks for trying

Chad bought every pair of vice grips at Harbor Freight

@@PnwOnTour you got me bud. Now if you have any pull tell Princess Auto to open a location in the Kawartha Lakes, I'm sick of driving an our and half to get to the closest one.

[@c50ge]

He invited all of his friends to come and watch if they brought their vice grips and c-clamps. And borrowed the rest. Chad runs a tight budget I don’t think he would spend money like that

[@marcosgonzalez5200]

You amazing Chad. Lots of respect for you and how you do things. Keep the art going. Love the results on your builds. 😁

[@ce7618]

I had a jaguar etype with a bubble roof. But it was a matchbox lol

[@donnypatterson6481]

Chad grant job and you are a great teachers on all of the things you show us. Thank you so much for sharing your and Jolenes video.

[@patrickgilhooly8340]

Love to hear Ms. Jolene in back ground -super, super. Thanks

[@stitchessounds1581]

that was amazing to watch i bet Chad is happier without all the filmcrew pressure and deadlines just him and Jolene having fun in the garage now it is great to watch...

[@andrewst.michael5179]

Would of never thought you could do this!

[@0Nebula0]

He definitely impressed himself with that...Rightfully so...Dunno why this vid popped up, but still fricken cool to see again...

[@lilwipit89johno98]

I tell ya what I've seen this dude show a couple of times we have one season of his show in Australia last time i seen a month back and his off tap HIS work has ya sitting back going he did that with bugger all tool and machinery..... Aussie love sent to this dude🤙🤙🤙

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

That was waaaay cool.. thank you very much for sharing.

[@lilwipit89johno98]

U should see the car when its done

[@rustycrustymakesstuff6528]

Super cool!! This would be a great way to make a sleek windshield for a roadster too! Blow it then cut it to size.

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Whale to labor intensive for a windshield when you can just heat and bend a sheet of lexan over a mold

[@thedude8046]

That looks pretty damn good this time

[@jimmystark5730]

That’s pretty slick!

[@vintagetiger2059]

Chad is speechless ! {doesn't happen often} You are awesome man ! You will try anything !

[@guy-qk6jd]

How did you heat it up? So awesome!

[@Victorhugo-zr1zi]

Esse cara é brabo do jeito que faz e da certo as coisas muito perfeito a bolha

[@WildBillFlysRC]

Same top as was on the LTD wagon? Very cool 😎

[@benbenben4476]

Would like whole process. Also what the fixture is like putting it together.

[@ndeep45]

That's just Wicked Cool... nice man

[@emilbachkvist1161]

Is that to the PFI shop car?

[@robertfeliciano6086]

Chad . That was cool to watch how that works... thanks👍

[@jimearnest4342]

Should have shown us the whole process.

[@michealfigueroa6325]

Damn straight

[@shannonDRAGRACEING]

He rented a powder coating oven to heat the plastic...... then rolled it out and put the air to it..... very coooool indeed

[@TheKalanTeam]

New saw that before. Pretty cool.

[@craigpierre2765]

You don’t realize how flexible that stuff is when you heat it.. we made taxi signs a similar way..kudos

[@danielosmon]

Youre the man Chad!!!

[@havasuthumper102]

Currently chopped a 57 buick roadmaster 75 4 door hard top and converted it to a 2 door. Might modify the tail light section of the car, any ideas?

[@roberteverette4766]

Chad, what material and thick you use to make a bubble top?

[@greggmoorman5985]

Amazing

[@jonbrockman5308]

[@konstantinsolin886]

Your job is amazing!!! What kind of glass do u use

[@upnorthviking823]

Its plexi glass.Its awesome and dangerous at the same time..plexi glass shatters when it takes a hit..you need lexan for this

[@bendustin7609]

how thick was the material and what pressure did you need to pump?

[@TheSnakeIsSolid1]

Is that for a Batmobile?

[@richardkey4289]

Huh.so that's where all those vice - clamps that I lost ended up at.

[@1944chevytruck]

WOW!.... COOL!/.... thanks 4 video. be kind.

[@hammerdownhammerdown2540]

How come you don't blow the bubble outside

[@michaelmess7575]

Was that a measuring tape I saw!!! Lol

[@magnetmannenbannanen]

im imagining a Mask made with these "bubbles" like a space suit that you wear over your shoulders like a backpack/helmet, and a batterypacket that feeds a fan that draws air through a filter.

[@loganshotrod4x464]

Is that going on a bellytanker?

[@dougsmith7195]

What temperature was the oven set to?

Shout out to Ian Roussel who did this on his bubble top customer car 7 years ago. I think he was one of the first to do it.

[@creepingjesus5106]

Not even nearly. George Barris and Ed Roth were doing it in the 60s. One of them (forget exactly which) knew somebody in Bell Helicopters who told them how it was done, so they dived in and started making bubble tops.

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

In the off chance you ever need to do this again, flip the frame over and let gravity help you instead of working against you. The results will be even better.

[@boduke2746]

Sweet my advise is VERY SOFT TOWELS WHEN Cleaning

[@Solo5010.]

This didn't happen 2 weeks ago. This happened on the show like a year ago. His show got canceled cuz it sucks. Unorthodox unmeasured just crap. The bubbles amazing but it's not even safety glass so it's not even operational to use on a car every day it's just a showpiece. This dude only builds Novelties and lowbrow Oddities.

[@brianfairchild7819]

and what do you do?

There s a show that makes me think of him... I think it was called chop shop london garage 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣literally a parody of bad chad..At least chad is a badass!
