BUGATTI: FABRICATING THE SEATS TO FIT JOLENE

[@altatton9653]

David Grainger of the guild made an exact replica of the Bugatti Aerolith using an army of techs an unlimited budget and several years of work. His ended up in a private collection where it will never be seen by the general public, and probably rarely driven. What you have accomplished with your limited resources is truly amazing. Looks like we can count on you to show the rest of the world how resourceful Maritimers are.

[@donellmuniz590]

Considering that the Guild is somewhere up in Ontario, maybe Dave oughta pay Chad a visit and check out his handiwork! Chad's way might not be the "Old World CRAFTSMAN" way, but it works!

[@problemchildprojects7694]

I don't mean ro sound rude, but the 2 Bugattis aren't even in the same league, but good build though!

[@kennethcrotts7870]

He's does not have limited resources. He's a millionaire. He just does this to show people to do things on a budget. They build stuff for other people in another building and he's building another one right now.

[@rogerwhiting9310]

The Guild one was made of magnesium too...like the original. Too bad Chad couldnt have used their buck. Chad is a patient talented guy.

[@svenmarksven]

We need to see more of the lovely joleene ,

[@donellmuniz590]

Yeah, in Playboy 😛

[@PeBoVision]

I think what impresses me most is how I can spend several minutes measuring and re-measuring and still screw-up measurements, whereas Chad eyeballs most things to perfection. That is a skill for the ages.

[@JustinPaul1st]

I'd reckon Ol Doug deserves a mic of his own as he has great stories to tell and we would love to hear of them too☝☝☝

[@rogerfleury9759]

Your building philosophy is very refreshing! And with the results from your car and bike collection show it works in the end! Sometimes I don’t understand what you’re doing, but as you always say, “I see the final product in my mind”, so we all should stand back and watch the process. Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA

[@kevinbanning2264]

Absolutely enjoy watching Chad work daily on your KZbin videos! Excellent quality filming as well! Well done!

[@russellr1677]

Great to see Doug back in the house sharing the wisdom

[@Kranknau]

I'm not big on car building these days as I have tonnes of other projects on the go but I love watching you fabricate as I learn so much.

[@peterland7388]

Love the camera work. Very quick and deft to stay up with the Tasmanian Devil. Every once in a while we cut away to the dog as a respite from some rant or other. Then quick as a wink, we're back to the action. Nicely done! Cheers Pete

[@TroubadourJuggernaut]

Doug is 100% correct, he just wasn't really saying it too loudly ........ the seat is dead on BUT the upholstery guy really needs to thicken up the top part by the very upper back / shoulder blades, not a bit, alot .. it will look awesome but it needs to really be double the thickness by the upper back / head, no head rest needed.... amazing work !

[@iantanner9258]

Hi ,Chad ,Jolene and Doug ,and whoever else drops in ( magic stuff) from Australia. Love all the fabrication “ on the fly”. And the guess work “ cos I can “ sayings. You are such an inspiration - I had to say that! It was in my brain! Good job Chad . Please don’t loose that unique artists talent you possess. Love your seat ideas

[@rodneyjweltham150]

So amazing...Chad's from down the street...I grew up in Kentville...but, wow...his EYES...his TATTOOS...but, you know...Jolene knew a gem when she found 'im...Love the videos...stuff I wish I had the chance to do!

[@jmikronis7376]

And, Chad knows the gem he has in her!

[@jrogers1809]

Was good to hear Joline’s voice mic’d up. When she told where the gasoline was. Whoever gave you that advice is a genius. (-> was me

[@thepetersons2805]

I like the idea of making your own seat. Fits the look and style of the car much better. Well done.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I miss the rest of the crew but I love having Doug around. The "SEASONED " adults have so much to teach...so many stories, that need to be told ! The tips and tricks that they can teach are abundant!

[@blaisesudderth6711]

It is fun to have Doug on the show.

[@sheldonbenson4510]

I love watching you fabricate each part of the car ,the seats are going to look awesome when they are done

[@rcastillon1]

I know the feeling. . .it seems I spend more time moving tools and equipment to work. If I cleaned up and put things away I'd be looking for them and spending the same amount of time. Do what you gotta do Chad, I appreciate your passion!!

[@pkd4697]

Love the shape of that seat. The wide top will be good for shoulders. The slope on the back is a bit extreme. I would take a couple of degrees off of it so you have proper support on your upper back. Fatigue will set in quite quickly! Great fab work Chad!!

[@oldshovelhead]

Great stuff as always! Have a suggestion on that very cool V8 sign - I do a lot of forced patina copper and sheet metal signage for client's - I'd use some gun bluing with a rag and wipe that sign down, heavier in some spots than others. You'd be surprised how unique of a finish you can achieve using this technique - sometimes I'll clear coat, sometimes not. But I'd guess with a good artistic hand with a rag and gun bluing you can get a great aged look and then let the elements take over from there. Thanks for all the work you two do to share what you do! 😁

[@virtuestreams2616]

That seat design is genius-a work of art.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@idratherberiding3456]

I love these Bugattis. They, with these body style where it appears to purposefully make it very clear that function follows form, are one of the most iconic symbols of extravagance in the auto history. How not to love it.

[@RogerJG21]

Great Job Chad, can't wait to see that car all done. its nice to see your Beautiful lady on camera.

[@southernacho]

Hey Chad, I have deep admiration for your work and creativity!! Your team is a plus, keep going and I keep looking for more of your work.

[@shaungreen3949]

I like the way the seats flow with the car awesome job Chad and jolene. Big Doug in the house haha 😆 I like Doug seams a character 👌👍

[@clutch6654]

Not sure if I was the "guy", but that was my comment about making the bottom of the seat match the shape of the bottom of the door. May have been someone else said it also. But in my mind it was me! Just said what my brain was thinking while watching you. Today while watching, I wanted to say put a 21and 1/4 in spreader on the top of the seat, then you did! Loving this build!

[@donellmuniz590]

Shouldn't ya make the bottom of the seat match the bottom of the DRIVER? 🤔😁

[@rickeh100]

When you upholstery the seats think about multiple densities of foam. It will help with shape and comfort.

[@kevinmcleod3741]

Nice fit . The seat fabrication is really good 👍 👌

[@johnshowcarbuildershowcarb6217]

That Shir is a deal of a lifetime and the man that gave it to you remember him for the rest of your life every time you use it

[@garygrissom1031]

I love the fact that you do everything by eye

[@timhatfield9924]

I think you're awesome I think Joel he's cute as a speckled pup and I enjoy watching you build this car. And I'm just going to say don't listen to what nobody says you're doing a fine job all the way around

[@micdarj]

For what it is worth - I find your ingenuity in this free form arena truly amazing; vision only your brain sees created from scrap. As for this specific installment I think what Doug was trying to demonstrate with the seat is for practical driving purposes the back is seated too low. I cannot really see what Jolene would see from the driver’s seat in terms of can or will she be able to see over the steering wheel/dash and through the windshield sitting that far back. Having the seat sit that way on the passenger side would be a non-issue, their just over there for the ride. For what it is worth.

[@nathanmorris4294]

Chad the seat you made looks absolutely amazing in the Bugatti!

[@dwartfarquart9590]

Trading work with a guy like Doug is one of the finer things in life.

Do the V8 sign in hammerschlag paint👍🏽 But first put 2 holes in the 8 and weld a tube/pipe in it... Nice to see doug again

[@EricBanner571]

Jolene's shyness is very attractive. She know what and what not to say and does not take the limelight away from Chad.. Many wife's and Girlfriends can learn a lot by just watching this girl.

[@donellmuniz590]

She is demure, a word you never hear anymore.

[@andrewst.michael5179]

cool sign for sure. Nice to see Doug

[@douglasnicholls1366]

Great acquisition with the shear. You might want to run a whetstone over the cutter bar, I suspect it's been rusting in place for awhile. Should make a big difference in the number of jumps to make a cut.

Great day at work is there a reason you make your videos as long as you do? Have you got in touch with Miller and Lincoln? Tell em,you can have their plasma cutter, welder, the whole kit and caboodle or the other companies...but half a million people looking at you videos 4/5 times a week is good air time for em. You could have people on your show to talk about the stuff their giving you. I've been around custom car's &bikes my whole life and know how hard it is to make $ ... This KZbin is a godsend.

[@cjwallow]

Doug talking of people he looks up to made me think of Gene Winfield & his legacy he's still writing , amazing people are all around us, in years to come BadChad & Jolene will be amongst that hall of fame for sure, this is how it starts 👌😎👍✔️

[@jeffro70]

let it rust the clear or youll never appreciate the metal work and welds..good to see doug hes a good addition to the show....

[@christoschristos1159]

Nice polished sides with wood grain straight through the centure and cream leather inserts .

[@douglasnicholls1366]

My Lotus seats are 19" wide at the bend, top of the upholstered bolsters which flare out a bit. They are tiny seats that keep me from any lateral motion. Joline'll be fine, but you're going to have to watch those cinnamon buns.

[@hvac42long1]

Poor Doug trying to get comfort as opposed to shape of art. I thought the same thing when first seeing the shape of the seat back. Then I remembered the dump truck seat and the last seats you made in the two door car. I don’t imagine you guys will be going cross country with any of these cars and you can always throw a pillow in for added support if you want.

Hi Chad. Looks like making a custom seat is much more than conecting point a to b. And fitting outter dinension. It's going to take some study and thought.
