Chopping the roof... the simple, clean, and easy way 😎

We're ready to chop the roof on the 1933 Plymouth. The goal is to do a clean chop with the least amount of cuts as possible. We're also going to simplify it by not using a measuring tape - the masking tape will be the measurement 🪚

That back window will be essentially non functional after you cut it! 😢

[@user-wf6es1gx8j]

i hope its not so low that a person needs a periscope to drive it .

[@tedpetsinis5183]

I believe the chop should have been 1 tape width

[@David-cs9qx]

Not Chad's style.

[@TheOzarkExplorer]

I think the front is too low, but I didn't watch the entire video, I just did a quick look at the progress and what he had at the end. Thing about custom cars is the guy building it (or the customer paying for it) get to decide. When I worked at Barris Kustom we made what I thought were some really ugly cars. I mentioned that to Jay Orberg one day and he told me "There's an ass for every seat" and that made sense to me because those who were paying us got what they wanted.

Shame to loose that shape, seems to me to be great as it was, but his car! Hope it all looks good in the end. From a Sunny England.

It's also a shame that you can't spell lose.

[@TerryLee-ni4iv]

Dolly out the dents on the roof when you have the top off instead of waiting until the top is back on and hard to reach

[@user-wf6es1gx8j]

why ??? that would be to easy.

[@user-yp8ky8us3s]

You always take the dents out first before you cut anything.

[@snoopu2601]

I think he said he wasn't going for the clean look? He said he was going to leave the rust look because it would be more work than what it's worth. I could be wrong I thought I heard say that when it was still on the trailer.

I have noticed that the subscriber count has slowed somewhat. I have always been excited to see our hometown boys' channel grow. Back just yonder when they were really going at the finishing touches on the brown car, the numbers really grew. I get the feeling that Chad is going through all his junk heaps and bringing them up to a point of...good inventory....i see the benefits to that, and I think it gives him satisfaction. Maybe bringing one of the many in the waiting lane back in for the same finishing touch would put you well on the way to 500k.

[@lukeandjilljelsma654]

The 40 Ford was brought back in.

[@Frontireadventures]

@lukeandjilljelsma654 only for a flash....I think they need a steady progress session. I watch Diesel Creek...and that's what he does or DD Speed Shop.

I like a reciprocating saw that is variable speed so it doesn’t burn up the blades. But I will say that I do move mine back-and-forth like Chad does ,slowly so it won’t be wearing on the same six or seven teeth over and over and over. it will split the load up over the length of at least 2/3 of the blade, always being careful not to let the end of the blade come back inside of the pocket and break off.I think it’s going great. I can visualize how it’s going to be

[@WilliamGuess-ns6th]

Think most of those comments are from people who have never done it before? I agree, do whatever it takes to keep from binding!

[@hoochgiese4735]

Finally some one who actually used a reciprocating saw! Jeez some people need a life!

[@junie1955]

When welded back all the under structure not welded only outsides where its seen never as strong.See the toughness in front posts cant get that back in middle.

[@DavidFrieswick]

Please only do 1 tape width !!!! Too squat if double tape. You don't make salt flat cars.

[@dlux703]

I'm pretty sure the sawing motions/Kabuki with the 'sawzall' are actually a disadvantage. Just plant the foot of the saw against the most solid surface at the cut and let the saw do it's work. All tha motion and twisting/bending just breaks blades and messes up the teeth that are trying to get a bite on the pillar.

[@oro_mar6753]

Wrong type of saw blade?

[@josecanyousee56]

@@oro_mar6753 That's a Diablo and one of the best in the market.

[@snoopu2601]

I don't use the sawzall ofter but I learn that after breaking some blades to rest it against the fence and let the blade do the work. If you don't rest it against the fence the teeth will grab and pull it's hard to control it if you don't

[@snoopu2601]

Plus he needs to add a body saw to his arsonal made just for that it's a small hand held saw foe sheet metal.

[@mikecox1895]

Leave the damn dents in it.

Hinge pin alignment is critical to this chop.

You must have gone to college to figure that fact out

[@deansmetak1785]

I'm watching every you do during the chop. Your giving me more confidence in attempting to chop a 1934 Chevy truck. I've watched every episode of my Dream Team and now Doug and Nathan have joined your team. Keep up the great content. Hope to meet you both someday

[@robinlester7302]

I watch every night, amazed at how you put your vision to reality without difficulty. I just wonder why people make negative comments when all they have to do is go watch something else. Please just keep doing what you do and know that most of us enjoy what you do. I look forward to this show everyday.

Great photography and thank you Chad for being a great teacher. I’m at home out in my driveway doing stuff I never would’ve attempted. Had it not been for you.

I admit that I loved this vehicle greatly standard.!!! But I have to admit that I'm kinda likeing it more after the chop ,Chad this has been my favorite clip so far.. Chad showed us a very detailed and accurate roof chop.. I was surprised with the placement of each cut, But it became apparent this is valuable knowledge ,A skill Chad taught so well. I'm looking forward to seeing the next part.. excellent content Jollieen and Chad That was enjoyable from beginning to end "what a great Peace of knowledge you have sheared today !!!! " Thank you sincerely "👈🤪👍

[@zeuzlida]

You have inspired me to go for it! I now have a truck thats not going to break now because i went for it. Between you and Making mistakes with Greg , i can now weld. Im am not good at it but im learning an going for it at the same time! thanks Team Hiltz!

[@mikesautomaintenance5780]

I love when people don't no how to use a sawzall it's not a hacksaw u don't move it back and forth put the peace your cutting right up to the stop on the saw and let it cut the saw is made to do the work 😂

[@Aaronlewis8846]

I know how to use one sort of a master if I may say so myself but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make the cut. I have done the exact same thing that he's was doing pal. So don't come on here to hate.

[@mikesautomaintenance5780]

@@Aaronlewis8846 lmao not hating at all just find it funny they are not made to be used that way and then people wonder why it won't cut like it should I have mush respect for Chad and what he does he does great work and support what he does and watch all the time it was no disrespect to him by no means just maybe a little education to him if we was to read this is all

[@Aaronlewis8846]

@mikesautomaintenance5780 well I'm glad you're not hating. But sometimes in situations you may have to do something like that just to get the blade to work again. Done it many times. Now if he was doing that with out pulling the trigger on the saw saw I'd be cracking the hell up and yelling at the screen at the same time. Lol

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Just do it your way

[@johnwade5747]

I found that if you stay up against the stop like you’re saying, you’re only wearing on one part of a longer blade that has a lot of good teeth farther out that aren’t getting use so I kind of moved back-and-forth a little bit, but still hold a good firm grip on it so I’m not losing my cutting strength but in some instances you have to be against the stop. it’s all in whatever predicament you’re in at the time

[@davidburton3583]

Sometimes Chad will take a restorable, nearly complete beautiful classic car and chop it up. It's difficult to watch and i wouldn't do it yet he often has great results. In this case it's a bare shell with tons of potential. I say go for it. It's going to be great.

think those notches you plasmased at the rear window needed to be deeper to straighten up the door posts which will raise the front window up some but still have some rake in the rooof line

If the dash is centered it's a 33 , if it has a instrument panel and glove box it's a 34

The only good answer ;)

Looks to be a 33 dodge, the instrument panel is not oval as in the plymouth s ,but flat sided but curved top and bottom
