Can the interior of the 1936 Hudson Terraplane be revived?

[@williammaronsr8033]

I wish everyone would film like you Jolene,you are slow and steady and give us time to see what you see. Most people move so fast and all over the place you won’t know what they are trying to show you. Your and pro and we all thank you, you are our Queen.

[@supermansuperman9066]

What is a "Cair" ?

[@supermansuperman9066]

" We was not looking for" .

[@supermansuperman9066]

This car needs perhaps 15,000 dollars of rechromeing , so what are you saying about doing the cheap way.

[@bdtoel]

This is FANTASTIC BUILD!. Thanks for what you do, I am learning a lot to help my vintage car plans.

[@larrybailey43]

Well, I’m impressed with how good the car looks now !

[@n_y_o_o_m]

always trust the process 😏

[@tractortinkerer11]

I have to admit. I like the style of it at this point. I was skeptical but the chop is just right and the spare tires set it off. The skirts add to it as well. Might try Painless Wiring to see if they could help you with the rewire to get the lights, ignition etc. going on it. Actually love it. Thanks for the ride to see it get this far.

[@williamcarey6592]

Screw Painless, but a fuse block some rolls of wire etc and have at it. You have a very simple car to wire.

1936 roaly rice same desibg up town girl like this like rial riyce

[@boris1932]

Great job Chad! Love this so much. I am a sucker for the patina, as I create and paint vintage looking signs with rust. The roof chop and lower stance in the rear really add to the lines of the car.

[@safeteyvalve]

Typically (I’ve done several interiors professionally) a pattern is nice to have to lower labor costs. Sometimes, you’re right, it’s too far gone. However, climbing around inside to pattern out a good fit can take several more passes to get it just right- or right enough depending. Save the stuff and let the interior person decide.

[@cristianabarsuglia629]

Absolutely right! Words to live by.

[@roypowell3450]

I like how Chad carried the seats outside blastered them with the air line and they blew back in particle form! Car looks very good...nice camera work again Jolene...

[@immrnoidall]

That car is so cool looking. People are going to love it at shows if you bring it.

[@eugenewebber4887]

I LOVE how Joline floats through the air. Can’t tell she’s walking while recording…

[@johncarella1836]

Lol… A little Creepy….!!!😳

[@mattblack9069]

My thoughts too.

[@americanmademachines]

Man, that roof chop really improved the look of this thing... the side mount tires as well. Very nice!

[@tommellen8151]

Looks great outside. Nice job covering all the welds. You made a great head turner.

[@RamblinAround]

I think you've done an amazing job with it. It looks great!

[@heaven-is-real]

Yes Chad the interior guy would want those door panels to trace patterns definitely.

[@bradleymckay365]

I would love to see you take some sos pads on the grill and bumpers because that grill would look awesome shined up. Awesome job so far.

[@daver6564]

I agree, the cleaned up chrome would look great against the old patina.

[@fasteddyskil]

Bright shiny things... are they in Chad's wheelhouse???

[@louissigouin1247]

SOS pads will scratch chrome. The best is 0000 steel wool with mag wheel polish. Makes it clean and shiny with no scratches.

[@ingrobny4111]

Sound good Chad, get it driveable, because it looks so cool now! 😀

[@markyaz901]

This Hudson is bad ass. If they looked like this from the factory, they would have sold like hot cakes.

[@jamesbuck6623]

That car is beautiful Now!! Awesome ideas to make it look like it should of from the factory really enjoyed watching the transformation !!

[@travis3437]

That is a awesome looking car. That is what the car should have looked like from the factory. Great job!

[@tcrwild8422]

Car looks nice man 👍 myself i like the retractable ceiling mounted ext cords that u can just drop down quiick.. Got 3 in my shop love them no cord messes stagger them around the shop imo they are time saver an keeps it neat vs cords all over etc

[@trudo97]

Been there with mice in the seats, I suggest taking off the upholstery, blowing out the springs and get them blasted powder coated. Get an upholsterer to reupholster the seats. Provide the old upholstery so they can use it as a template.

[@i8ntnuts]

Sometimes I wonder where everybody goes. It’s like they watch one video and decide it’s not what they like. I love the entertainment value and also the ideas I get from Chad once in a while. Either way, he gets an A+ for effort. Jolene definitely gets 10 gold stars for making this all possible

[@chensonsaccount]

Great job on the Hudson Chad. Do you have any thoughts of maybe a light brushing on the grill! It's such an awesome grill, that it would be cool to highlight it.

[@tday99music]

Incredible car, wasnt sure about the look you were going for, but seeing it out in the daylight... nailed it. Thanks for teaching us, and was cool to see the what could be used from the original interior staying in

[@brentvonaschen7407]

I absolutely love this build! Kudos y'all from Texas!

[@tim_g3478]

A man with vision that can execute it! Jolene is there to guide, support and help create! Keep it coming!

[@antbarath]

I would like to see this car completely restored, well painted and with good upholstery. It deserved that it was improved aesthetically

[@leonardgore7948]

Your be lucky

[@howquick]

Would look awesome…but it’d cost $100k.

[@i8ntnuts]

I’m afraid that boat has sailed. The car was beautiful when they got it, and would have been a relatively inexpensive, mechanical restoration. It falls into the survivor category. A mild cosmetic restoration might be reasonable. I don’t think it would be feasible to try and restore the roof and get those windows working again.

[@howquick]

@George hey…Kindig, Gas Monkey, Iron Resurrection do it…surely it doesn’t cost that much 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@graemeatkinson8411]

I appreciated this content, six hours with a heat gun and white spirit removing spiteful decals this Easter weekend. No thumbnails left but mtb wheels now looking much nicer. Chad and Jolene on in the shop spurring me on😅

[@bobbreissinger418]

Hello Chad and Jolene, I love this car, your vision and talent and ease in the video! I have only commented once before as I feel you are always above par on the creative side! This car just strikes me to the core! My one suggestion would be to pull the front bumper in closer to the front fenders and/or possibly contour the bumper to the front of the car or maybe change it to two small bumpers contoured to each fender. Then maybe repeat the idea to the back bumper. Just to sleek it out a little more. LOVE this car!!! Love the rustic original but not feel. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS!!

[@curtismills5567]

Just a suggestion but keep seat frames and reupholster them no fuss no muss then you can bolt them back in no fab. Needed awesome project keep them going thanks Bad Chad &Queen Jolene😊

[@i8ntnuts]

It was a perfect candidate for restoration

[@garyziegler1099]

Chad said, "the struggle is real". I appreciate you dealing with the good, the bad and the ugly. Rodent pee and insulation are a definite struggle after an 86-year-old car is in storage for 50 years.

[@stevenhayes3241]

Chad at first I was hoping it would remain stock but now I love it!! Good on ya😃

[@RAL13Y]

Congratulations Chad and Jolene, the car looks awesome

[@larrytaylor5236]

Going to be a awesome looking ride. Great camera work like always

[@larrybailey43]

That’s better now than just Dang It ! Now put a plush seat and nice interior in it so Jolene rides comphy !

[@morrisitnit8344]

Superb work, both of you. The car looks fantastic, imposing and elegant.. looking forward to see you driving it.

[@stevedavis2751]

I love to hear Chad say "No doubt in my mind!" He always delivers

[@JTTTTx]

Also, I just got my 1940 4 door out from storage and went for a drive. At just over 6’, it was a little tight when I sat up straight and imagined a 4” drop.

[@johnbriand5361]

A fast burn, with a fire extinguisher handy would make quick removal of that crudd.

[@fredhoman6101]

Nice to see it out in the daylight ,it looks awesome ,colour is way better now ,next thing just get it driveable I would say,great job so far, thanks for sharing

[@hdvette64]

I’m really diggin this build. What a cool driver that is👍

[@stevewright9658]

Really a good job on the car.Thanks for sharing every day.

[@SR-gt350]

Looks fantastic! Love the suicide 4 doors with the hair cut. Great add one with the spare tires and Fender covers.

[@tjedds872]

Hey Chad, Jolene & Sweet Fina (snuggled in below the "On Air" sign) In 30 hrs your squirrely plans & ideas have had a good size following, good, bad or other.. Your vision and work is...truly...unparalleled sir! You have created a visually superior car, one that Bonnie & Clyde woulda' loved most certainly. I'm feeling that if you set the Ol' Hudson outside (with windows) and let Mother nature's Nova Scotia sister have at it.. to help with the patina progression....

[@i8ntnuts]

Yeah, I don’t understand that either. 40 K views, and only 3K likes. Come on people it only takes A minute to hit the like button. We need to support her business or she might start looking for something better.

[@cannabisticannabisticino2718]

It looks really good in the sunlight. ✅ Damn! Those seats are practically like new 😁

[@jerrymason6027]

It’s comeing along relly good chad,,it looks awesome with the paint you put on it,,thank you too Jolene for all you do also and to fina too for makeing the Sean daily,,luv ya’s,,👍👍😀

[@joelg7551]

Wow your work in incredible that car looks like it was made that way from the factory it’s beautiful one of a kind your is amazing mr Bad Chad. Hello to you both from the west Lubbock Texas . Love your work 😎👍🏽

[@patrickjameskorfman5161]

I think that the roof chop made the car look much better, good job

[@shotgun283]

Very tastefully done. I think the original owner would agree and be proud that his car is going to live on 👍👌

[@phillcantrell9060]

Great things you have done to the old Hudson. How about using one of your Jaguar XJ6's fot an interior and you could also use the running gear

[@donaldscheer5206]

PERFECT ROOF CHOP! Makes The Car Flow! Awesome Job Chad & Jolene! AWESOME JOB! WELL DONE!!

[@paulgrimm]

Glad you left the windows . Looks great!The chop looks natural

[@michaelbalzano2366]

I would be SURE to have them re upholstered > WITHOUT QUESTION.

[@davidhuber2679]

Love it, Love it!! I hope you let us see it when the front window shield is put in. Then the guy that was smart about the wind shield can PAY UP. I got a laugh out of Chad when he talked about the seats. and how the squirrels had more nuts than a Snickers. I want to thank Bad Chad and Queen Jolene for sharing this whole piece of art. See you guys tomorrow.

[@kenmyers9372]

car looks awesome, really like the side mounts

[@randymartin2396]

Thankyou Chad and Jolene for your hard work on this old car

[@billbong156]

The chop looks really good. Looks factory only better

[@60chevyjim]

the car looks great . i love what you did. it has the look i like . everything flows perfectly the chop with the rear panel laid forward . the skirts with the emblems and the twin Sidemount's also the spotlights. the patina matching looks really cool on it too. great job Chad and Jolene 😁😁👍👍

[@tonywoody5696]

Your right Chad, it does look more desirable. Great eye! You and Jolene do great work and I enjoy watching every afternoon. Keep up the great work! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@tomday7309]

It's looking bad ass. Bad Chad does it again.

[@LEADxx]

Nice build. Great job Chad & Joline!

[@rickhettwer854]

The old girl is looking awesome. You actually got the paint matching pretty well, when it get some clear sprayed on, it will look pretty sweet. The chop, skirts, tire mounts, spotlights, etc. fits it very well. I'd love to cruise her around anytime.

[@stevewasson7508]

It looks awesome nice job 👍

[@johnmacintosh1343]

I really enjoyed this build thank you for showing us 👍👍👍 Maritime proud

[@Ratrod_38]

You can fix the patina on it with a SOS pad and water. The sos pad will even the paint out.. old school trick 👍🏻

[@1fordtrimotor]

I would make metal door panels and paint them blue. I would make plain army blanket seat covers front and rear, I would go to Wall Mart and get some rubber mats for the flours.

[@georgemenge3327]

She actually came out fantastic Chad. Very nice!

[@mikeowen5400]

Hudson Terraplane Looking good guys well done !, get that thunderbird modified 😃 looking forward for the next’s results 👍

[@wilpeck8338]

Wow awesome love it have a soft spot for straight 8s nice cruisers wait till you get it running you won't believe how smooth they run

[@marysambrizendine1012]

You two have done a great job on this car 👍

[@nelsonmattoon150]

I worked in a body shop and I was the one that always took the interior out and clean it up. It was a pain in the butt

[@richardrumplik7023]

I missed commenting on your Australia Car Show . I was so impressed with your Following there . And you and Jolene were so NiceTo Everyone. Your a good soul and many Blessings for your heart and love you shared! 😎😎 retired Auto Body from 13 . Collision for a way to pay the bills . Custom Bikes from the ground up .

I love watching You work I am a 80 yr old man that built hot rods started when I was 20 built 3 record Race Cars

[@johnkranz4004]

Looks Great Chad and Jolene I hope when you take all the interior stuff to the DUMP I hope you keep the Headliner bows

[@randyelston7063]

I love how your doing that one, its an awesome hot rod, job well done my good man

[@classactkirk]

Car looks great outside..I think flexible chrome across bottom of the rear front fender and bottom of skirt would look great.

[@jackalbatross9486]

thank you for not turning it into a 2 door. looks great. great job

[@richardbaltazar6808]

I like this car. Looks like a what I would say a lowrider. This is a nice build... Bring that to California. This is what they would call a badass car 👍👍👍

[@daleblakemore9821]

Looks like a gangster car. Love it.

[@FightinAggieFarmer]

Man it turned out looking good. Can’t wait to see her on the road!

[@kyleworkman7877]

Dude, I'm pretty sure folks on this channel know exactly who you are and of course Jolene is on the camera. You make a great two person crew.

[@rickclark4112]

Tear of the seat coverings and save the metal spring part the interior guy will need that. It might be easier to clean that way as well.... then put it back over the frame and put a blanket over the whole thing for temporary use. The car looks fantastic guys

[@weswhitlinger1706]

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it with the glass in. I still have reservations on those skirts, but that's just one man's opinion. It still looks awesome. You and Joline are fantastic. You are keeping our automotive history alive. When these cars are gone, they are gone forever.

[@i8ntnuts]

Yeah, I hear ya. The car was beautiful when he got it. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Chad is an artist (and part time comedians). He says he enjoys chopping them up and making something that nobody else has made, but he could care less about driving them. Also, he says you can’t drive six cars at once. Plus, this is a full-time job and there’s not much time left over

[@Zooooom01]

I was a little worried about this one, but it came out GREAT!!!

[@annettebogle4252]

Hey, been watching this build for a couple of days now.... love it... but, I believe if you mix a little black or charcoal color in with the clear coat.... ONLY FOR NEW PAINTED areas... it will solve the "color matching" problem so it doesn't scream... "I've been sorta matched with my paint.... " and it won't hurt anything, just like one drop of black in the clear coat... maybe 2 drops... but if you do 2 coats... LOL 2 drops it was... but only on "the new paint" an just regular clear on everything else... unless you like the clear going dark... LOL let me know... I hope you can use this info... cuz I'm full of info... LOL I'm a crafter... and sometimes... you really need a stencil for the "rust" look... it is what it is... stay you!

[@annehiggins3559]

Looks awesome nice job thanks for sharing chad and jolene

[@terrykallmann4146]

Car looks great especially the side mounts. I have to say she would look awesome with a beautiful paint job now that I see it outside. Awesome job!! from Pennsylvania!!!😎

[@loren1610]

Very cool looking car I enjoy your vision on these cars

[@johnhoward7875]

Initially I preferred it to be kept original but seeing what you have done has made me turn a 180. It is a beautiful looking car. But I would like a paint job because it would look so good finished. Having said that I would have it any day as it is Great job!!!

[@alexandriawootton1742]

Chad try Meguiars quick detailer spay and the green scotch brite pads, it will remove rusty areas and not remove a lot of paint. Once’s it’s all smooth then it can be clear coated or just polished

[@i8ntnuts]

Yes, rub it out for sure. Polish it to perfection then put on some of that whatever kind of sealant that is the new rage in order to protect the paint.

[@PoplarvilleMan]

Personally, if I were doing the interior, I would like to have any wood or metal as a pattern because obviously it fit and it would be much easier to use the old door panels than make a new pattern. Just my opinion.

[@i8ntnuts]

Yep, you’re absolutely right

[@stevewright9658]

The car looks great. I’m thinking out loud but the car deserves a little paint smoothing and some clear sprayed on it. Maybe matte. Like you say “ opinions are like belly buttons, every body has one.

[@twohandsworking896]

nice job on the car-its turned out nice

[@RobertKing-zj7wj]

Hudson looks good. On some of the side mounts there's a metal cover. In my opion you might consider that option. I think it would really complete the look.

[@brycechessum4684]

This car looks great it really does and at least youve got everything bagged and tagged, thats a reason why the Thunder burd isnt a good thing to try to restore its completely apart and mixed up.

[@matthewhutchins4284]

This car turned out to be bad ass. It’s like a car you’d see back in the day being driven by a business man with a black suit on with a cane and a top hat. I like it man. I’d drive the wheels off it like it is

[@vluggejaapie7286]

Thats a beautiful car 😎 looks good 👊 nice done! 👍🍀😉 Greetzz from Holland Chad & Jolene 🇱🇺

[@mykec.selene8302]

[@darylhomegren2943]

Turned out pretty awesome! After it's got clear it will be even better 👌👍good job

[@jessiejames2155]

It looks like you found a real close match to that blue paint color..👍🏻😁

[@mattjanzen86]

That is one kickass project! Now all you need is another donor car that you chop off the front and turn into a "matching" tow behind camper.

[@butziporsche8646]

I'd wear a respirator. Deer mice = HPS Looks really cool Chad!

[@i8ntnuts]

Animal poop that dries out and becomes airborne, is easily inhaled. It can be very bad yes even deadly. I try to stay away from it. A good vacuum, and a big fan can help some but there’s no guarantee.
