BUGATTI: BODY WORK, PRIMER, PINHOLES | TIPS AND TRICKS

[@thomaspeariso5622]

I like how you just see the positive on your items you use for your builds, and over look the rust. And have already done the repairs in your mind.

[@o0tdaigle0o]

Anyone who criticizes Chad on his methods I would ask show me your build and then we’ll judge if your opinion matters. I love this guy’s attitude so much. He’s old school and reminds me of the old timers I knew growing up in northern NH and ME.

[@frankharris2400]

They don't have any room to talk. This is a positive person to teach people who want to learn he does fantastic work. I'm a huge fan of his. He's honest and I can respect that.

[@arkangelnorthman]

My favorite mad scientist body man!!!

[@matthewhayler601]

I just realised she does this all on her phone.Wow. I didn’t realise and very impressed. Close ups follows right on what you wanna see and that little giggle every now.No wonder you are a happy camper when you open your eyes in the morning.if yo know what I’m saying CHAD. Thanks for another great video team

[@nellalarsen9327]

Chad continuing the process. At first I thought of his 'flooding process.' Now he is working on the pin holes he spoke about when he was explaining the flooding process. That car is going to be a beauty with a great paint job. Don't forget to hit the like and share this great channel. Please subscribe, 100K is within reach.

The first thing I noticed was the clean shop...looks good👍

[@rowdy4314]

You two have done a lot cleaning in the shop. Good job it looks good. Great show 👍

[@cathyandgreg4239]

Great meathod for pin hole filling, maintains the primer envelope...I like it. Joleyne is doing an awesome job showing your work techniques. Thumbs up!

[@virtuestreams2616]

What an excellent tip to share with 99% of folks who are watching-ya know, one can’t please everyone all of the time! I am sharing this with my neighbor-he spends way too much time messing around with these minor imperfections. 👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻

[@alanstackhouse2939]

Can't wait! I love learning all i can!! Even when Chad is learning for himself it is nice to see a different perspective on thing's that all the keyboard expert's disagree with.Chad had a great vision on thing's and good people like Doug the wood guy and other's to share their knowledge.Jolen does great camera work and gives plenty of inspiration.😊

[@SketchysGarage]

Chad here's a tip to keep from getting as many pin holes when mixing your filler whip it instead off pulling it with the bondo spreader. I got buddy whose been a body man his whole life told me I was mixing it wrong he did a fender and a tailgate I did the rest of the truck he had more pinholes in one repair than I had on the rest of the truck. Just a tip to try and I like alcohol to wipe down with. Thanks for the hard work on the videos.😎

[@lesliebarker5657]

Gotta add something. I just read some comments and to those saying he is doing this wrong and he should do this etc I think he knows what he is doing I don’t know many people in the whole world who have a home made 1935-6 Bugatti in their shed. I think there’s only 4 in the world and now Chad will make the 5th. The guy is magic and he is doing what he loves and he taught himself everything. It’s great to see how he makes it his own though the car is beautiful.

[@ronlynch7744]

You guys are Rockin the Bugatti body. You on the body and Jolene on the video side.😎👍🇨🇦

[@jamesbarthlow1387]

We use a product called icing for surfacing pin holes and scratches easy to sand and strong as it sits

[@jamescon55]

Icing is good when it's FRESH...Last few tubes I tried to use were crap, that just kept gumming up, ruining my sandpaper. Even knocking the top layer down with 80, then trying 150 to finalize...Just gummied up goop, ruining my paper, wasting my time. I mainly use most glazes (these days) to maybe thin down regular mud to make a "slicker/faster sand". But yeah, when it's FRESH? Icing IS good sh.t. 👍

[@MrDexcars]

Chad nice to see I was not the only one that worked that way that’s how I did thirty years ago and I agree it works saves time and money like the way work Thank for the videos Regards from Wales uk

[@howquick]

I do the same when working on house walls. Patch and fill. Coarse sand...give the wall a coat of paint/primer. An ‘all over’ single colour is a LOT easier to see imperfections and then I just ‘spot fill’, sand and paint. 👍🏻

[@christianmccollum1028]

Those old school projectors are the best for painting logos - I know! Awesome work, J. & C.

[@AtleStokvik]

I am doing the same thing with a home made motorcycle hood and uses your videos as instructions. So big thanks from Norway:)

[@Vangent87]

I don’t know of a single body shop that would bondo an entire car rather than just the spots that need it. Also, spray nine isn’t a substitute for wax and grease and remover, it leaves behind a residue, windex may work but I wouldn’t use spray nine. If I were really trying to do it on the cheap I’d go buy acetone or fingernail polish remover to wipe down with.

[@toryneald234]

Not sure where you get your info from...but spray nine does not leave a residue behind after it is dry...no different then using wax and grease remover...when dry no residue. Only difference is like Chad said $$$ in your pocket

[@jamescon55]

Brandon Reid Guess it kinda DEPENDS on what kinda "body shops" you are referring to, sir...🤔 ANY "TRUE RESTORATION BODY SHOP" OR ANYONE who HAS actually DONE a show car for someone OR themselves KNOWS - You GOTTA SLICK THE ENTIRE CAR..IF? You want a TRUELY SLICK AF car, truck,boat, OR whatever... It IS standard protocol. It really amazes me how MANY "experts" there ARE when it comes to THIS TOPIC of "skimming a car.".... Do you actually "think" that ALL THOSE showcars are done via just metal finishing, and high build primer? So yeah... UNTIL YOU, YOURSELF HAVE ONE OF THOSE CARS OR DONE one, then......🧤

[@johnnyk4551]

Thank you. Haven’t said that yet but I’ve been watching. More to learn here besides car building...

[@philipmiller1030]

I find if you try and fill a panel one time with a lot of fillers and put it on heavy you will get pin holes. On lighter coats of fillers as you pull the fillers with the applicator it compresses the fillers and you have no pin holes or air bubbles in the fillers. 😁

[@joeely9631]

Chad has mentioned that he never finished school. It’s easy to see that he has a quick mind, head on a swivel and always scanning for every detail. Everything catches his eye and his interest is whetted so rapidly that he can hardly contain himself. It may be hard to focus on just one thing at a time while his mind is trying to focus on everything around him all at the same time. It’s an attention thing and teachers like students to focus on one thing at a time...teaching many kids at once forces this) so someone who thinks of many things at once is forced to slow down their brain and then they get bored. I have known quite a few very bright and successful people who never finished school and this may be a very large contributing factor. Chad is so very multi talented and this is just my non-professional judgement 🤔😃👍

[@glennminnis2201]

Thank you for showing the ways of body filling ... I learned a lot tonight

[@dustanmackay2114]

Just wont to say a big thanks for all the tips and tricks that you show it helps with the confidence on doing my own project and good job on the filming as well Jolean

[@colinstables]

Made it through 150 comments, the worst commenters are evaporating, great way to get it done without anything extra needed 👍👍

[@sizzler66]

Omg I just had the most amazing ideal. Inside the spare tire well. Cut the bottom inside panel leave a half inch lip around the bottom. Make a new bottom panel (round) Make it so you can take in and out so you can have access to the under side of the spare tire well.

[@rogerfrancis65]

Im glad to see chad doing what he does best, and thats car building, its always good to learn something new but that involves listening and heeding good advice, i may appear over critical on the Jag engine but its because its a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that deserves to be treated right, i thoroughly respect his skills as an artist and car builder.

[@davidadams007]

More good work and always nice to see the new projects and ideas that are always popping up. Jolene, just a suggestion, place the new Hiltz sign up a little higher on the wall in the event that you place something like a shelf or cabinet on that wall so you can still see the entire sign. Take care

[@rjw8840]

Keep it up Brother, we all get ya, just showing us how you do things your way with the same final results. 👌🏻

[@buckndoe1193]

Chad and Time Warp Custom Paint recently made a believer outta me with household products for paint prep. 🤯

Not all that often you find an engine in your yard. If I know anything about Chad he'll have it running and in something cool. Get it bro. Get it while you can!

[@waynevan4195]

So on the spot that got to hot,will you use the same stuff to fix it. Just wandering.

[@paulwoods5195]

Been following you both for a few months Chad and Jolene , been ‘binge watching’, ha ha. Really enjoy your work and tips. The only thing is that I can’t get the materials that you use here in Liverpool, England, can’t believe how long your sandpaper lasts haha. Keep up the great work and keep smiling.

Cool 😎 you have Doug coming by and helping out too ✅🛠👊

[@stevewilliams8143]

Why didn't u use a spreader to put on smoother than your finger? Still fills pinholes

I’ll never block my body filler in anything but 80 again! Thanks bud!!

[@jamescon55]

Yes sir! IF you are tackling larger areas? Even 40 grit just to get the shape, and then 80 grit for blocking to/for STRAIGHTNESS! It took me a bit too (and I even went to Vo-Tech, had a dad in career collision work) and I USED to FIGHT ALL THAT -"Ohhh, ya gotta 150, 220 grit even maybe for primer, blah blah blah"... Yeah, IN COLLISION or? But in ACTUAL old car restoration? ALL those "fiiner grits" are just for BLOCKING, AFTER PRIMED, SAT ASIDE AND CURED OUT. EVEN later, lol. my ol man was like "Ya need to SKIM THE WHOLE CAR IF you want a car to take to the car shows!" and yeah, 80 grit IS YOUR tool ta get it there. 👍

[@tonybastien3692]

Thank you Chad and Jolene.

[@futureliner]

After the jag engine was sneezing trans oil all over the Bugatti...primer is porus and is contaminated. Finish issues will appear in the future..or it's not a problem at all

[@alanstackhouse2939]

Not a problem at all the motor was far enough away..lol Chad does know what he is doing..Give the man some credit.

[@DIGGER19860]

You can fix that cracked transmission with lock n stitch. Jay leno uses it all the time

[@downdirty8543]

Then 57SC Atlantic is one of my favorite cars to ever roll on four wheels. Did you know that it was originally made from a metal that was 1/3 the weight of aluminum and that metal was so flammable that Jean B had to rivet the body? Very sleek and sexy! Your done a fabulous job recreating such an iconic auto, the Bugatti family would have likely killed to have you on their payroll way back when. Imagine the possibilities!

[@randabuffer6562]

This man is an artist 😎😁

[@shaungreen3949]

I’ve used putty once and never again will I use it it’s softer than any filler you put in the body panels and soon as you start rubbing it back you leave as we call it here in uk tram lines with your fingers

[@geofo60]

Easy way to use paint spirit wipe/degreaser is to decant it into a spray bottle, spray it onto the cloth (as you’re doing with the kitchen cleaner). Then wipe it off with a clean dry cloth, not use the one used to apply it. That’s just pushing the contamination into the primer. That’s going to resurface at some point in the future & cause micro blistering. Then again I’ve only been a paint technician for almost fifty years here in the U.K., so I’m probably going to be told that I don’t know what I’m talking about.

[@jamescon55]

Yes sir... You ARE ohhhh sooo correct on the actual "cleaning process". That's just typical rookie sh.t he's doing there (on the cleaning part). Right TH ON! Agreed. 👍 😏

[@DanWalterTradeview]

I put pre-wash in a spray bottle. Not a problem. Windex has additives that are not good for paint. Wax remover is for removing wax and grease only. Clean a window then look good at it. See that residue? It will be on your car when you go to paint it. That causes funny stuff to happen in the paint.

[@robertbarkey3194]

If it's Cast iron trans case. Than you can repair it with Copper Bracing Rod n Heat it with torch n than Brace it n better than JB weld

[@jamescon55]

"Ohhh no. WHY do (THOSE guys) waste ALL that mud on the car when it obviously doesn't NEED it!"..... Ummm, lemme guess? YOU have NEVER body worked a show car (OR owned that car) that HAS won awards at the shows either. 😏 Great work! Carry on...(Don't mind my deja vu of so many "experts" that I am obviously SICK of hearing)

Dolphin glaze sands a whole lot easier than body fill I don’t care what you say👍

[@stevebarrow5154]

not watched video yet but dolphin glaze good if used correctly but panel beaters tend to put it on like body filler and then it will look like an aero bar when primered over.....basically 100s of pin holes. 44 years painting cars from cellulose / acrylic/ synthetic / solvent basecoat and 2k clear / waterbase base and 2k clear and 3 stage pearls and tinted clearcoat......and i still get runs lol

Only do 40, 80 & prime if and only if you use his ployester primer. Because you cant use other primers, they wont fill 80 grit scratches with out sinking after painting

[@philipmiller1030]

Chad, Chad, Chad you have to play the game, you want us to subscribe and like but in return you should answer some questions. If someone wants to know what size of wire you use in the welder or the size of tip on your gun when priming, take a few minutes of your busy day to answer. This will get you more viewers and keep us viewers watching and maybe get our questions answered. I get tuned in every night at 10pm, I think that you and Jolene are doing a fantastic job and I've learned a lot. So if could take it one step further and answer some questions it would be brilliant. Jus say'in 😁😁

are those pin holes going to rust from the bottom ??

Use the ATF/ acetone to free up the rings. Works great for penetrating fluid too.

what color are you going to paint it when you are finished with body work ?

No compression could be a valve not fully seating also if they are still a little sticky.

[@MrCbell57]

Pin holes in the hundreds? Not acceptable. Oh hello Chad. As an ex-body man I find it hard to believe Chad has so many pin holes in this car. A few tiny ones sure, but these are craters! And hundreds of holes. Just Priming don’t leave pin holes, only using filler on the car before priming it does. What does create the pin holes that he never mentions is...mixing auto body filler, fast, and spreading it fast. But since the car is primed someone has previously primed over some extensive body work or filler work on this car. He says it’s only been primer put down? Nothing else? I question that as primer does not leave pin holes...ever. How do pin holes get there? Let me tell you. As a professional I do know this. Hah. If you mix filler up fast and you pull it back and forth quickly By mixing it on your board in rapid fashion as you see him do, and flip it back and forth as he does here in this episode...that is how you trap air in your filler mix. That is the cause of air bubbles or pockets of air in the filler. Since the filler is solvent based and chemically reacts when curing, the bubbles come to the surface. Creating a hole. A pin hole or crater. And that is exactly why these pin holes are here today. He put them here working at break neck speeds 3 years ago trying to smooth this body out. Rapid mixing of filler causes the air in the filler which becomes pin holes on surface of car. When air comes to surface the bubble pops. Leaving pin holes as well as these huge craters you cannot really call Pin Holes. Drag filler back and forth at break neck speed while mixing it and slamming it back down onto more filler as you mix that and then drag that back and forth, and you do this twenty times at speed, you are going to get lots of air in your filler mix which turns into these pin holes you see here. All this time being spent repairing them is due to mixing filler too fast and spreading it too fast. Just like he does here to repair the holes. He mixes the filler way to fast and it grabs air which he then spreads back onto the car. A second time. Otherwise and generally you would need a very little bit of spot filler or what he calls putty. To cover maybe a dozen minimum pin holes, total. I don’t work this fast when applying filler and I take more time to mix filler before spreading it. So that I don’t create these pin holes. This is the reason why I take my time. And I also don’t get more than a dozen tiny pin holes in an entire car where I’ve applied filler. Seriously I could apply an 1/8 inch to an entire cars surface and only have a dozen tiny holes. Sometimes no pin holes show up. Bad news? Reapplying filler to cover pin holes can lead to more pin holes being created! So not really cheaper to use filler. Only if you have hundreds of craters like you see here. That is why a more dense spot filler is recommended for repairing them. Or covering them. Not more filler. And spot filler is twenty times more expensive than filler. But will save you time as long as you don’t have very many pin holes. Chad has many things correct. And he has come a long way for sure. But as far as hundreds of these pinholes needing attention? No. There should never be that many pin holes in one car, ever. Especially that it takes someone hours to fix them. Other than that I’m loving the enthusiasm. I watch auto restoration shows daily, because they inspire me to get out there in my own shop and work on my 1970 Mustang everyday. Thank you Chad! Keep up the effort. Keep the videos coming. You are helping lots of people for sure. And I really like you!
