All credit to Jolene on these builds, she surely does know how to drive a camera well. So steady and in exactly the right place to get the action whilst keeping clear of chad as he works.Well done Mi'Dear you do an excellent job.

[@jerrybaldwin6955]

Enjoy the program, watch everyday, learn so much.

[@allensquire4507]

Using the English wheel to create the compound curve may have made this job easier. Wondering why he doesn't use it. Maybe he could enlighten us.

[@tedbyus6914]

My thought exactly.

[@chrisfromnz3038]

I don't think he is very confident on it and it often takes two people and he tries to do everything without help

[@markkeen5091]

More progress in three days than most make in three months. Love the build.

[@jeffhillyer1972]

I enjoy watching the fabrication because that is always the fun part

[@robodenbach7373]

I think it's about time I get back in my garage and get my 2 project's going again. Chad and Jolene you guys inspire me to want get back at it.

[@texastomeh3077]

Having watched a LOT of KZbin videos, I have to say that Jolene's camera work is some of the best, if not THE BEST on the website!! GOOD JOB!!!

[@eltonnoway5692]

Chad is a artist when it comes to cars and making his visions a reality... and Jolene is one of the very best videographers on KZbin!

[@rodmacleod2994]

I loved Chads answer yesterday about not finishing projects. He said “If you don’t like it, keep watching” haha brilliant answer! 🤣

[@charlescurtis1042]

This man has vision in another time zone bravo he has earned his Jolene for sure

[@blane-cox]

Jolene, you do very fine video work. But I do have a nit. Chad's occasional loud outbursts and grinder noise has me quickly tuning down the volume button when those things occur. I know little about video programs but assume they have volume controls. In audio recording, there is a compressor that acts as an automatic volume control. You set the highs and lows. It keeps the audio between those boundaries. It would be neat if you tame the audio a bit. The compressor can help immensely. If a compressor is not available, I'll still listen as the videos are so well done.

[@markallison8854]

My favorite trunk fabrication

[@michealfigueroa6325]

Accepting what the metal gives the builder is one way to build Mastering the metal is another way.

[@kambacktransam4840]

I think "Bad Chad" should change the name of his show to. "Builds With No Ends" or "Builds With No CLOSURES". A normal viewer likes CLOSURE, if you guys think THIS car will get finished think again. He started 6 builds, you see that number and none of them are finished Jolene's Bugatti was started 6 years ago and the car is side lined once again.

[@idlabi]

Stifel Edith!

[@idlabi]

@@jarheadbobmax192 Obviously you don’t like the show… So Why stick around?

[@glassblastcollision]

English wheel would make a good job of that lid! It will be interesting!

[@grc3029]

Coming along awesome , thanks folks!

[@gregstocky5092]

You give me inspiration.....I'm a wood worker by trade did panel work on my 69 Buick skylark...stuff that most panel shops would shy away from.....I'm inspired to build a rat rid again...your a breath of fresh air..love your work...Greg new Zealand

[@ZonDog]

Chad your enthusiasm is very appreciated!!

[@olsonsspeedshop1875]

It’s great to see how you work through problems when they arise and even change tactics midstream when needed. Great work!

[@darrylway4910]

Another very helpful fabrication lesson for me,thanks heaps guys👍👍

[@davidtutor6763]

Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two!

[@MartinMcMartin]

I wonder if this will be a real car, or maybe art for the door yard.

[@eltonnoway5692]

Yep... Chad has a habit of taking a new build or idea to a certain point then moving it to the door yard when he gets bored with it and moves on to another project. The good news is he eventually brings each of them back into the shop from time to time and does a little more. Like Jolenes Bugatti... which has been in process for many years now.

[@garyfairman2805]

@@eltonnoway5692 I can relate to bad chad, I have a very bad case of ADHD I probably will get bored and not finish my comment Lol, anyways I like the way he uses his skills on every level even if he doesn't finish anything he starts right away but, it keeps us coming back for more just to see what he's up to in his brain of thoughts and he is a damn good likeable person for sure he's Artistik, honest, smart, talented, caring, and giving, and a dang hard worker.. he's my favorite for sure he keeps cost way down.. then sells projects for big money that's the way you have to be in building unique cars if you want to make a ton of money... someone will pay whatever for one of his cars just because Bad Chad Hiltz built it with his bare hand and pretty much old school equipment. That's what makes his car even better totally hand made Art.. I differently want to see him make a Eddie munster T-Bucket roadster 🏎 and of course with a 440 magnum.. and hope he uses Raffle Tickets for the give away car that would be awesome plus I think it would charge up his youtubes followers...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@duchonhd9368]

You make this look so easy, great work and thank you for sharing!

[@markdutka3774]

It's Saturday and the trunk is looking great so far, it's amazing how well you finished the square tubing around the back. Let's see how great the trunk looks once you have the cover on it. I think you are right not having the trunk as a usable spot being that you would have to climb over the lower body just open it, have it as a non opening design feature not a usable trunk. Thanks Mark Dutka

[@darrelldyer6681]

Absolutely amazing metalworking skills. Hats off to you.

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

One word comes to mind when I watch you do your thing…. Remarkable !! Enough said 🤗🤗

[@pbcummins58]

Going Back to revisited. Great Ideas! Thanks Chad.

[@bobfendrick7819]

So much Fun to get to watch the Magic ! Thank You Both !

[@rijobaabojir2779]

Chad often provides us with words of wisdom and life lessons. “Finish what you started” should be included. Many of us find it frustrating when tasks are performed rapidly but the projects progress slowly.

[@i8ntnuts]

I think we would all like to see the Bugatti on the road. Or most of us anyway. Personally I like to paint and build engines. It would be fun to know what engine is in the 62 galaxy along with a dyno session.

[@swanie_6448]

I can only imagine this beast driving down the road... it is one heck of a build so far...!! Cheers...!!

[@hitnmiss49]

I'm sure enjoying this build. Chad and Jolene never disappoint me.

[@DT99race]

It's amazing what Chad gets accomplished in just an hour! 👍😁

[@MF-rn5os]

I cant wait to see this put on the merc

[@ronlynch7744]

That’s how you get a rear end into shape people. Jolene does another excellent video. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@bakerrv]

I can see how that makes you happy when you can make the metal move and conform to your ideas. And Jolene is right there with you watching the magic happen!

[@JohnSmith-gr8kh]

Wonderful creations

[@lencsalovszki9194]

Nice idea

[@russupsidedowntopbottom955]

you sir are an inspiration, thank you many times over for sharing your talent and philosophy with us

[@clifc6351]

Thank You for including us on your build. No controversy from us. Its s Hiltz Build were just along for the ride. COOL! Thanks to the Mrs. for partnering with Chad on these builds!

[@jeffmcknight2961]

Love it so far.. coming along nicely! Thanks to you both for sharing it all with us

[@darylmorgan9887]

Great fabrication work Chad it,s stating to look the goods along with awesome video footage thanks to Jolene getting up and close.

[@stevemiller1212]

76..great channel and a great job both of you are doing 👏 👍

[@fredhoman6101]

Great work again,seeing how to get everything in place and welded on,also great work of Jolene filming,thumbs up for you guys!!

[@i8ntnuts]

Jolene really is amazing on the camera I think. I believe she could do a “how to” video, on “how to video”. Maybe she went to school, or maybe she’s just a natural. I would think there is some sort of opportunity to make some money teaching people her talent. Also every video seems to be better than the last. Seems that way to me anyway

[@chrissoto6331]

Interesting build so far

[@zaneg8870]

This thing is gonna look awesome, great job

[@michaelbooth1109]

Chad and Jolene. I like everything you do. Gives me lots of ideas. going to build a pedal car for my grandchildren’s useing your floor design in Jim car. great show 🇬🇧👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@vwcoco]

Rear end taking shape very nice , excellent work 👍

[@benjiehoffard9323]

Amazing job by both of you

[@billgreene5351]

If you can dream it ! Bad chad can build it or better yet make that dream come true ✅❤️👍

A pleasure to watch Chad. Impressed.

[@DefaultName-vh3lo]

Fantastic work. I admire your guts and capabilities in all your work! Thank you! John from Paso Robles CA! Brothers all!

[@c50ge]

A small roll around cart wit some hooks to hold tools works great. Then when job is done one trip around the shop and everything is put away

[@Angus_McGyver]

Its nice to see some good ol hammer n dolly work intead of your usual slap and slather work.

[@hknjue]

Nicely done!

[@markdeno6583]

Enjoyed this one very much

[@thekraftyguy8246]

Loving your work......I’m actually learning as you are welding.... good job

[@lincolnstovall9471]

What hand dolly was that. Touch grinding top weld. Good work!!! Card board to start quarter inch add around to hole outside to the lip of the trunk. The folded joints makes for more mudd. Prefer to center each side and center of the sheet. You do good work. I’m not a body man. Done a little fab over the years. Cut three inch section from the lip, center points the then tack away from. Every is index from centers weather you use measurement or not. Just trying to understand how you think as you go. We all have are ways. But the processes is educating, THANKS!!!

[@brettdavenport8910]

That trunk opening with a nice cover would make a great tool storage compartment if you made the vehicle into a cabover pickup.

[@brentfellers9632]

Love the shoulder press when welding!👍

[@notbadforaraglesvilleboysm7634]

That is looking great, straight and solid. Best videos on the air, and excellent camera work !

[@moudyblue]

I like the result of the roof - good job chad & jolene 👍🏻

[@misterbe34]

You do great work you have really helped me with my welding I’ve learned a lot from your vids

Fantastic Chaddy great job.

[@colleenbulger5350]

Fabulous stuff!!!!!

[@RobertWilliams-mk8pl]

Beautiful camera control following the action.

[@johnm.washbush591]

Chad, regarding the trunk cover ... you do have an english wheel, don't you? That is the answer to the complex curves on that piece.

[@geofo60]

Yes, or use a dolly that conforms with the shape you’re aiming to create. I noticed Chad was using a slab dolly. I’d have reached for a comma dolly and used the curved profile to bring up the low areas & preferably used a “flipper/slapper” instead of a panel hammer. I’m a retired panel beater from the U.K. and served my apprenticeship on high end vehicles. We didn’t have new fangled shrinking & stretching machines back then, just dollies, hammers, body files, sandbags and a flame. Not forgetting lead & tallow.

[@MIKEH.777]

Wow that looks great at first I didn't know what it was going to look like but you moved that metal around and it turned out great, plus I love how Jolene was showing the outside and the inside of the project so that we would understand what you was talking about, thank you guys very much and God Bless happy 4th of July 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

[@bubbavines]

It's great to watch you read the mettle and how it needs to be cut or tacked to fit tight and right.

[@ThomasSmith-rp6xv]

You made my day man! Awesome job!

[@1944chevytruck]

awesome job u2!... thanks 4 video. be kind.

[@westonward735]

It's really coming together.

[@TheKustomBeardoh]

The cool thing about watching Chad and Jolene is I usually learn something new, or at least a different way to do something. Great little learning moments. This car coe is gonna be rad!

[@g1boy2]

The sheet metal work by Chad is on a speed that takes not breaks and with his once cut to fit style is impressive

[@michaelmarusic8499]

👍🏻Weld on Bad Chad!!! Thanks again for the video.

First in no metal man. But that back wasn't looking right. But then you started zipping it and working the metal you brought it together. You are the man👍
