Who else really wants a slide truck? Lol

[@jacobrev6567]

Me i want to slide truck

[@reecewatson773]

I do need to see the hydraulics to the floor...

[@wisitrojin]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@lynchscustomauto8427]

I really really want a slide truck so when you come back to the usa bring me one to Bristol Tennessee and we'll play with my bagged minitruck bagged minivan and do some hopping in my pathfinder with 4 pump hydraulics and then break out the 64 impala and cruise... but definitely need some a slide truck

[@marklester1106]

yes hilux slide truck

[@Alsinsin]

Thailand has always got an interesting car/truck/bike scene. First time I went there back in 1993 it was impressive how they modified things with most people on a budget. A lot of smart stuff. One of my friend was driving a Peugeot 505 with a crazy mitsubishi turbo swap engine. I drove an old Isuzu pickup. Lost the whole exhaust line out of the manifold and a small shop on the road side mandrel bent tube and rolled sheets to make a new line. I believe many of the US cars were owned by American officers posted in Thailand as Thailand used to be an outpost during the Vietnam and cold war. It is so nice to see so many of them. I should be flying to Bangkok this Sunday if all the paperwork works all right. Looking forward to be there again!

[@alexyoung8983]

How old are you now?

[@SwingEzzZZ]

Yes, most of these cars were brought into Thailand by American GI's stationed here during the Vietnam war.

[@uncommonlogic1698]

Suspension is called "cantilever", when there is an arm redirecting up down motion to linear in/out. My plate I paid 8 bucks for 1971, I just had to wait for the number to come up in the series they where issuing ( letters are random)

[@TheRam273]

The craftsmanship and artistry is awesome to see! Bro it’s been very cool to be part of your journey in building this channel 👊 it seems like yesterday you had just a few thousand subs and now over 350k.

[@wadedown6353]

What made Datsun??? What made nissan?

[@lensrc7460]

This is the Thai version of the shop I made my career at. It followed the same progression. Got started building street rods, today all resto's and restomods. Mostly musclecar stuff.

[@Grutefruh1]

Amazing garage. I'm a aircooled vw fan. I know there is an interresting vw scene in Thailand. Could you maybe once find some cool v dubs in thailand? For me most interresting vw's are pre-67 buses and beetles. I own a 64 beetle. Thanks for sharing all those amazing cars with us .

[@robbie123robbie123]

Fun fact: Licence plate number 4 sold for 2.45 million dollars (approximately $1.9M USD) in NSW Australia in 2017. Great content as always Chad. 😁

[@NeverMetTheGuy]

You've gone SO DEEP into the car scene over there, and you give me a feeling that I haven't felt since Top Gear back in the day. It's so cool, and it's dope as shit that you're doing all this.

[@rcautoparts1]

Awesome shop! Check out the Australian made XP Falcon in the back ground. Spotto a P510, KE70 Corolla , Datsun 1200 coupe and looks to be a Holden front fender. That RX7 is an SA22C S2/3 model. So far in your video's i've spotto a couple Australian cars. The other was a HQ Holden Premier . We also have a version of those slide trucks here in Aussie. We call them "Tilt Trays" and are usually Hino , Isuzu or similar Japanese trucks. I would really like to see more ol skool JDM content in your videos. Keep up the good work. You have inspired me to travel to Thailand through watching these.

[@andyrbush]

Traveling around Thailand you can come upon all sorts of unusual vehicles. There are a few places with old US military trucks and jeeps. One place I see is full of old expensive Mercedes. With highly skilled but great labor rate value techs available it isn't surprising to see restoration shops taking on huge amounts of work on a car, that would be uneconomical in the US or UK.

[@jeffcanyafixiy]

Amazing how cars translate across languages, cultures. GREAT vid‼️ 👍👍 Man that Camaro is FREAKIN gorgeous

[@TwistedTriggerEnduro]

Epic video!! Rare to see those type of perfectly restored cars anywhere, let alone Thailand. 💪🔥

[@grotesmurf1]

Awesome Vid again Chad, but please visit the shop again and highlight some more cars, they really deserve a re-visit from you. Love the 2 alfa's that you casually walked by......

[@Markevans63]

The paint on that Mustang looked epic! Like it was still wet or something

[@HeyVernTravels]

Cool Chad! Thanks for sharing this great shop. I almost visited a few shops when I was in Bangkok but didn't know they were this large!! I restored cars professionally for 25 years for show , having my own restoration shop in Portland Oregon area 20 years. Love to see American tin overseas!

[@tonydownunder5703]

Having been to a lot of Auto body shops around the world 🌎 just like you do. I am quite impressed in the workmanship they do in Thailand 🇹🇭 If I still had my Auto body shop in Australia I would have Thails working for me 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@SwingEzzZZ]

In terms of quality, craftsmanship, price and equipment I think some of the bigger Thailand's auto paintshops are ones of the best. We have quite a number of big auto paintshops like this one. Most of these workshops possess frame straightening machines, paint mixing room, baking ovens, etc. and their work thruputs per month are huge.

[@tonydownunder5703]

SwingEzzZZ Yes I've spent a full day in a very very big Honda Panel shop in Thailand 🇹🇭And let me tell you the workmanship is right up there with the best 👍👍 And I've been in the trade for 50 years. I'm 63 now.

[@SwingEzzZZ]

@@tonydownunder5703 I guess that one is in Udomsuk area on Sukhumvit. We have 4 frame straightening benches and 8 Baking ovens and around 100+ work bays. That's National Service Headquarter. My old place and I'm 65 now. Toyota did follow the same strategy they now have similar facility. Most brands now have similar workshops in Bangkok. Bigger upcountry province also have big body and paint shops depending on the market demand. Apart from the Big Brand's workshop, there are also a lot of similar big body and paint shops of independent owners around the country as well. I have seen in the U.S., Germany, England, Japan, Hongkong, Singapore, Malaysia so I can tell. It's because it's cheaper to repair than those countries due to low labour cost so there are demand. That keeps the business running and preserve the skilled craftsmen.

[@tonydownunder5703]

SwingEzzZZ somewhere in Phuket and is 1/2 owned by Honda and 1/2 By Thai business man

[@SwingEzzZZ]

@@tonydownunder5703 Oh yes, like I mentioned province like Phuket must have one. By the way the one in Udomsuk now owned by the dealer. During my time Honda needed to setup an example when the project ran successfully they let the dealers do it and they turn the focus on wholesales, policy and support. I never been to Australia. Just flied over to NZ to visit Beacham Jaguar. I know Australia and NZ have a lot of classic car restoration experts.

[@lonniet.2816]

They really do some awesome work in Thailand. That Z28 was BEAUTIFUL!

[@randorecumbent]

Nice one! I'm amazed at the passion in the Thailand car scene and you cover it well. Slide trucks are great. We have rollback tow trucks in the states. I guess it wouldn't take too much to modify one to be a full slide truck. Rollbacks are halfway there already.

[@DESSLOK17327]

Crazy Thailand. Never even knew there was a 572. Love it, thanks Chad

[@akshayraj6197]

After getting to know this channel, Thailand is in my go to bucket list (just for the car culture)

[@gregcleeve6810]

The interior suspension is called "Cantilever" meaning it uses a series of joints to change the direction in confined spaces.

[@johnmellyn2700]

Chad , I’m surprised you didn’t point out the “ suicide doors “ on the Lincoln continental ( 0:23 and again at 8:19 ) when I was a kid my fathers friend had one , I thought it was so cool the way the back doors opened up the opposite way .

[@southgacustoms]

Badass episode!!! I'm an old car enthusiast and I find it awesome how American cars are treated in other countries

[@cdestes1914]

Yet another great video Chad…. A lot of American muscle in that shop…. Awesome! Keep up the great work

[@jimmoore8891]

You've taken us to some really cool places the last couple of years, but this might be one of the coolest. There seems to be no end to Thailand's car culture! Are you taking CreamPai to Buriram this weekend for the Classic Revival?

[@boblarsen5385]

This is an awesome video, Chad! As a fan of muscle cars, this is a candy shop. Please make more videos of such shops. I think you should export those slider bed transporter to the US as a sideline. I always see them around carrying cool cars but never seen car uploaded onto it.

[@nuttsrisukplung1318]

Something that you may not have seen in Thailand yet is the meeting of the American car group in Thailand. But each car in this group has both beauty and rarity, such as the 1970 Pontiac GTO The judge Convertible with only 108 cars in the world. The story of this car is The uncle sold this car to his grandson (current owner of GTO) for only 1 baht 🤣🤣🤣

Dude! Those Corvettes were awesome! Not to mention all the awesome Mustangs! This kinda reminded me of the Sarasota Classic Car Museum that I went to down in Florida back in April. They had a great mix of classic American muscle and an exhibit of classic Porsche and Ferraris as well as some Iso Rivoltas.

[@jeffhuntley2921]

Great video. I remember the golden days of great photography in car magazines. I had subscription to most of them

[@brianhittepole259]

Back in 2012 just walking around a random street near Nana I saw what had to be a 80s Brabus Mercedes with 4 flat tires. I went back a few days later thinking maybe if I could find the owner I could pick it cheap but it was already gone.

[@SaintNyx]

You're killing me walking right past that '75 Cadillac. It's the same color as mine back in the states. I couldn't believe it when I saw one looking that clean in Bangkok. Interestingly, that looks like they took a 1974 grille at put it on a 75/76. I'd love to know the story on it.

[@K-Effect]

You are completely right. Out of all the cars I was shocked to see that big blue Cadillac sitting there, I think it’s a Sedan, i’ve always wanted a coop. Imagine all of the Thai girls you could fit in that Caddy!

[@SaintNyx]

@@K-Effect I have one that’s very similar. Taking her through the streets of Thailand would be an absolute dream. I’d say at least 9 girls could fit comfortably.

We got Jerr dan tilting trucks in Canada but I don't think they s.lide to the ground, I think they slideback but not down.

[@edghisalberti6237]

Nice work shop Chad, good collection of different cars. Plenty of right hand drive Mustangs and Camaros in Australia.

[@W96NZ]

Slide truck is a great idea. At first I was we do have those trucks, it's a rollback..🤣🤣 but then I continue to watch and was like ohhh I see now.. Now I wanna build one and sell to all tow truck companies. Save alot on front bumper complaints.. Great channel brother, be safe!!

[@johnmellyn2700]

(5:12) Chad when you mentioned how to tell what year the old muscle cars were by looking at the license plate, I thought you were gonna say ….” By looking at the tail lights “, when I was in jr high and high school when I first started getting interested in 1960’s and 1970’s muscle cars, we could look at the rear tail lights, if you looked close the year would be towards the bottom of the red lense .

I dated my wife in a 1965 GT 350 Shelby Mustang. That was 1968-t969. While I was in the Army Ford released the 1969 Boss 302 Mustang. I had to have one. I got out of the Army in April 1969. There was one dealer in Arizona: (Bill Watkins Ford in Scottsdale. They didn't have any yet (April 1969). We put a deposit on the Mustang and got first pick when they first 6 came in. My wife drove in to teach school for 2+ years. By then the engine was starting to go. It got traded for a BMW 2002. We always missed the Boss and working with a sympathetic Motor Vehicle employee the car was located. It was 18 miles from where we lived. It was rolling junk, but it was THE car. I spent a year collecting correct parts. The engine in the car was a 351 Windsor. I located a 1970 Boss 302 engine. The car had been painted from Yellow to white, back to yellow and the final insult was a rattle can paint job in red. With the car 90 % restored It was the center piece of our 20th anniversary party. I applied for an Illinois personalized plant and the Boss 302 had the Illinois license plate..... HER BOSS We drive is sporadically. We now live in Santa Fe, NM and I applied for the same personalized plate. The MVD turned it down. Some pin head had the brilliant idea that it was a derogatory remark. I don't take no for an answer and working with a very nice lady at the New Mexico MVD the issue was resolved. Several times a year Sant Fe Vintage Car Club dose a car show on the Plaza in Santa Fe. We always have ithe Boss 302 on display. People love the Mustang and the story behind the HER BOSS
