[@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!!

Having been in this industry for over 45 years and now retired, I must say this vehicle he is working on is the most bizarre I have ever played eyes on. Great video and cannot unsee this monstrosity.

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 !!

[@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]

I'm* absolutely

[@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 .

[@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!

[@KevinWilliams-px6il]

The game this dude be givin away is priceless. True motivation. I'm ready to start puttin in work on my dad's old 54 crestline. Much respect for you my guy 💪🏽

[@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)

[@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

[@Shanes-garage614]

I just want to say thank you. Your videos have taught me a great deal!!! Again Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me

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.!!!!

[@johnberry5063]

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

[@kennethamerine8026]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

Taking time makes perfect.This is going to look awesome when finished.Learning lots .

[@desmondfall9547]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@corvettekiller96]

I love his content but I have to say it's refreshing seeing someone be so good to their old lady essentially "in front of the guys" I'd have to imagine old Chad is just a really good fellar.

[@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 😅

[@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 !

[@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! 😎👍

[@paulbrino8689]

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

[@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

[@bigdsispy59]

The cab over is looking fantastic can't wait till it starts getting to the final stages

[@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...

[@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

[@friarbuck640]

Love seeing all the steps in your creative process.

[@paulhunter359]

that's a really good idea with the content switching it up like that between a motor doing chops working on paint and then body between different cars you're right people won't get bored

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

[@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]

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.

[@tommytalker3416]

A good philosophy is to appley the spaktula first to the ground in one way. But then strech it backwards and in all other other dimensions too. In this way the spaktular meets the ground much better and do not miss junktion to the other sides of the cavetie. Think of any cavity (deep like a howle or only flat) and your spaktular goses over it. The spektular gets no good kontact and no good fill beside the work-direktion. After grinding you get howles and have to fill them more ticky up. If you will do so like spoken, your time to apply the spektular will be much less. And that is the reason, because they all try to apply much spektular in a short time in mainly only one direction.
