Chroming the 1955 Mercury dash for $40 - (Universal Method)

[@Darrin_Wyatt]

I have never even looked at that chrome because I thought it was just for door edges and stuff like that. My mind is blown, you guys are both amazing people, wish nothing but the best for you both

[@upyourass.101]

That dash is absolutely gorgeous !!! I am so inspired by your videos, please keep more videos coming .

[@bobfendrick7819]

The color of the cluster is perfect ! Ties everything together . So cool . The eye on the budget is how i was raised . Thank you Both & Fina too .

[@blairmorais]

The paint, the chrome the total design is amazing! Creativity is in your blood! Another enjoyable time spent watching your KZbin Channel! Congrats Jolene and all the voters for getting back to 1st place in the Miss Jet Set standings! Don't forget to vote everyone!!

[@mark110101]

Another creative idea, looks stunning and is a real throw back to the 50's era, can't wait for the side pieces to be added and painted/chromed. Great work as always BOTH of you

[@leekingsland9292]

The colour’s on the dash look great I can’t wait to see the car painted it’s going to look amazing. I hope jolene is feeling better today you can’t keep a good woman down well done jolene and look after her Chad ❤️👍

[@richardbodford9572]

Awesome

[@mikekerezsi9672]

Bad chad

[@mikekerezsi9672]

Lol

[@davemurray8825]

you're an artist!!! Teaching other on "who to" is a gift

[@classicwheelsunited]

Nice how its comming together. That dash already looks like a masterpiece of Chad! Cant wait to see when its done.

[@joetallon4968]

It’s funny, when I was around 12 in 1969. I had a cousin that lived in Buffalo NY and he loved as he called them “hot rods”. Listening to you talk reminds me of how he sounded with the accent. I know he would have loved your channel! But unfortunately he passed in the late 70’s after an accident in a 6 wheel amphibian at 32 years of age. The reminder is sad, but happy at the same time. Thank you!

[@davidelack8809]

looking forward to another outstanding installment of the Chad and Jolene show!

[@leopoldocuevas319]

most reasonable products+ talent, and crreativity... priceless, great job chad.

[@tonymosca6591]

Amazing the look Chad gets using inexpensive materials and some good know how!

[@jimw.4205]

Chad, try cutting your air bag tubing with a single-sided razor blade at a perfect 90 degree angle using a clean metal backing to guarantee a nice clean trouble-free connection ... also, always blow out the brass fittings before using them to make sure they are perfectly free of any "junk" particles ! ... Another "A+" for all your videos ... You two are the very bestest !!!

[@jimcoplan9502]

Chad did a great job with the dash yesterday. jolene was able to do a very excellent video of the untaping process. Keep on with it. Joene i hope your back is getting better.

[@sheldonkleeman759]

You are the1 Chad keep it up you 2 Jolene

[@paulg7031]

I have been using chrome strips for many years. Saved money and it comes out better then factory. Good show Chad 👍

[@johnpatterson2984]

Really wonderful! I am curious how well the chrome trim holds up to heat. Just love your work Chad!

[@guitarnoise]

I put this chrome tape on the grille of my '77 Shorty Dodge Van almost a year ago. Still looks great.

[@dawparra4832]

the dash chroming turned out beautifull love it cant wait till the car is done ,color choice is great

[@kentmckean6795]

I have to say no to the plastic chromeish strips. Sorry, just me saying.

[@chrisr4815]

No one asked for your opinion.

[@darylmorgan9887]

Absolutely amazing how something so cheap can make something look like a million dollars. Well done Chad. Voting time for Jolene now. Cheers everyone

[@markscarbrough7015]

For over a year and a half 2 o'clock in the afternoon has been my time with Chad and Jolene it's been a great run and hopefully it will keep going, He never ceases to amaze me

[@joerussell5241]

You know, not everyone needs to agree all of the time. That's what makes this world interesting. Sometimes I don't agree with the styling you do, we're different in some ways. BUT MAN THAT DASHBOARD IS AMAZING! And that Buddy, is why I watch your channel. Carry on.

[@trailermeat9963]

This show is the best car building show on youtube

[@williamdenny891]

What you're doing besides creating beautiful rolling art, is demonstrating to people that if they want to they can do the same. You very inspiring 👍👍👍👍👍

[@matthewfocke5360]

The Dash-pod is quite stunning. It is finely crafted. Creativity is your specialty. It's an area you are gifted in. Both you and Jolene are quite talented in your video and car production. Thanks so much for your hard work, time and dedication! A fantastic video adventure.

[@KoalityofLife]

Never was a big fan of chrome but you have made a custom look using the chrome tape, I can dig that. :)

[@timbo2ssrs]

Man. I'm loving that I found your videos. Your attitude and drive to be doing something you want to do, has me doing it on off time.

[@texastomeh3077]

The dash is looking SPECTACULAR!!! I am very partial to satin black and chrome. They always look "rich" together!!

[@hharvo]

There are millions of videos that tell how to do stuff. You showing us technique in real time explaining what you are doing and why is top notch. Thanks. It is said, "behind every good man is a good woman", in this case I say Joleen is standing right next to you, not behind.

[@ronhonig]

I am looking at the picture of the dash before the video has even started and it looks really nice!! Well done.

[@lewispaine4589]

That's the thing about this channel that appeals to me, you find a way of using your talent to make what it takes to get the job done, the essence of hot-rodding

[@marktelin7259]

That dash looks amazing. I have used that chrome for years. It's your car to do what pleases you.

[@randyrhine9896]

Very creative and a smart way of adding the BLING back to this beautiful piece!

[@vettemaniac2237]

"Chroming" without the absurd cost and nasty chemicals. That's a win-win!!! Looks terrific.

[@pentastarpride]

You continue to break the sides of "the box".... thank you Sir! Love it !!

[@BadChad]

VOTE HERE: miss.jetsetmag.com/2022/jolene-macintyre

[@larrycrandell7493]

thanks for brining us along for this great build... Love to watch the way you work

[@OutBoardTink62]

Looks real nice. Like you said its being creative. I was thinking maybe two or three rows chrome leave some red paint show and two or three rows on bottom would look nice also. I guess its really endless in what you can do,,Great video.. I have a 55 Chevy maybe ill try to mimic the overly priced repro chrome strips that go on the door panels. My door panels are plain flat black ........

[@randallbarfield821]

I used this on the outside of my new Yorker and it worked well as long as long as i I sealed the edges with clear finger nail polish to keep moister from getting into it

[@johnjackett3138]

Coming along beautifully....another vote for Jolene today

[@KevinJStoll]

Here is what we did in the van conversion industry for moldings. We made a wood box 2'x2'x2' with a lid hinged. Then we put a 60 watt bulb set up on the inside of the lid, centered. We would then put the molding in the box. Turn on the light and leave the molding in the box for 30 to 45 min. This will make the molding pliable to go around corners and odd or different shapes. Then when the molding cooled. It would keep it's shape. Plus it helps with activating the adhesive to help stick better. Hope this might help you out on applying molding to what ever. Peace and love......

[@TheDan2973]

The colors look amazing together.

[@erikvanvliet5764]

Hi Chad and Joline ! What a great job on the dash , i like the philosophy about doing things your way no matter what anybody says!

[@williamerickson4045]

Love the way you keep it simplistic for people to see an awesome creation being made without all the high dollar stigma

[@HOTHUDSON54]

Enjoyed your creativity and showing an alternative method of placing a chrome accent to your vehicle.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

Love how that dash is coming together.

[@galenbritt2094]

With those colors and that crome it really has that fifties fill and look. Looks amazing

[@joelmacleod17]

And just like that, plastic chrome is sold out everywhere, awesome job!

[@shotgun283]

That chrome Speedo looks great. Creativity is what started hot rodding

[@williamhall749]

I wrapped mine with mirror chrome after sanding and filling the pits. 3M ORACAL and it's made in Canada, hey what about that. this is my 43 year doing interior on automobiles . It a must to learn how to find alternative ways to create a different way to make it happen. really like seeing you perform .

[@wrecklessracing23]

That dash turned out amazing , love the use of the stick on chrome . Turned out so cool

[@c.d.england8217]

That's a cool looking dash to look at cruising down the road 👍👍

[@brettshields6283]

I love what you are doing with the dash, stunning..and suits the car body!

[@kevinbrown1549]

The dash turned out amazing!!! Elvis is coming alive infront of our very eyes!!!

[@edwardbroyles9738]

I love your color scheme on the dash. Years ago, I restored a 1962 Ford Falcon Futura. The dash had a similar instrument pod to your car. This feels like a little validation of my thought process. I painted it. I won't claim it looked as good as your work, but it makes me feel good that it tried something similar to your work.

[@christinebornstein8239]

Hi Jolene, hope your feeling better. Enjoy the show daily. Great creativity going on today! Keep up the great work. Do what you enjoy daily.

[@benjaminmann7241]

Wow that dash is something else. Can't wait to see the car painted with triple colors.

[@ionedave]

WOW THAT DASH LOOKS AMAZING

[@Viva_la_combustion_interna]

great inspirational words Chad ! I`m on the road to work on antique cars and always watch positive people like you, I hope to visit your shop one day to meet you and same way if you ever come to Florida

[@ungarlinski7965]

"Anybody can be creative. All you have to do is use your own brain." Great quote.

[@buckhondo644]

That dash looks awesome. Can’t wait to see the whole car painted.

[@glennhall767]

Love watching Bad Chad & Queen Joleene. Thanks for all you do to teach skills that no one else does. I'm greatfull and know many others are as well . Many thanks to you and Joleene. This info is so valuble to gear heads .

[@ShopKatIndustries]

What a beautiful dash, I could spend many hours behind the wheel of that Merc! Great job Chad & Jolene!

[@xstocker3407]

You have amazing vision and are truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@themaster6407]

Very impressed with the stick on chrome and the way you did the dash and cluster!!!

[@Centurion785]

The dash looks absolutely phenomenal. Amazing job Chad.

[@kamilohrberg407]

The satin black and chrome look amazing!

[@greggmoorman5985]

The dash looks awesome, the chrome is genius !!! Nice move !!

[@barriecollins6838]

That crome looks awesome again the colours of the paint Chad and jolene. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

Brad, you're so very right. You don't give your ball cap to a collector give it to someone that is going to wear it. At my old shop, we would products like this. Just because of the cost of sending something out to get it re-chromed, and the wait time. We couldn't meet their budget or the time they wanted it back by. 🤔

[@AnthonyVeith]

Nice work chad , do what you do and don’t listen to the negative feedback , the proof is in the finished product and you always deliver ,

[@barryreevej9159]

Can’t believe how bad chad can be as patient with the artistic stuff an artist with a grinder and cutting wheel

[@michaelfarrell1084]

The colour is amazing, beautifully done, great contrast. This car will be awesome. Great work, and the chrome wow wow. Bless your hands.

[@ryanmighells1626]

You guys inspire me everyday .it's always a joy to watch. Even if it was a bad day. I sit and watch bad Chad and his lovely camera lady makes the bad day go away. Keep em coming chaddy boy and camera girl aka her joleanness

[@markdutka3774]

The chrome tape looks great, I've Been using it for years to add to and dress up striping packages as a 3M Trim-Line distributor there were 150 distributors across Canada up until 1992 when 3M withdraw the name from use and we became independents. Thanks Mark Dutka Oakville Ontario Canada

[@louiswauben7185]

Wow, that dash looks awesome. Good job Chad!!!

[@alexandriawootton1742]

Dash looks nice 👍

[@perrydegonia5755]

I can’t say enough about how awesome your work is in your creativity

[@eugeneemery1140]

The Dash looks amazing! Very Creative! Hope Jolene is feeling better! Great Job Chad and Jolene!

[@paultrombatore3587]

Looks great, I recommend using 3m 94 primer it comes in a nail polish style bottle we use it on motorcycles to help with vibration and heat..another awesome video

[@bobbyelee6549]

Great job, Have learned a great deal for my 72 GMC short bed Pro street ,Thanks for all the time you both take to do all of the videos !!!!

[@kamilohrberg407]

Your dash is so bright, I gotta wear shades! Thanks for another great video 👍

[@patmendiola5466]

I like your attitude, Bad Chad. Your style and creativity is unique. Keep it up, Sir.

[@artofeddysara]

Creativity is king! Bravo Chad!

[@kevinhall2266]

That dash looks so much better than original. Enjoying your chrome. Looks fantastic!

[@charlielemmons5525]

Elvis always did like his jewelry. I hope Jolene is feeling better. Keep up the great work.

[@ADN1971]

I think that chrome job you’ve done is awesome. That car is going to look amazing when it’s all back together.

[@timothymcfarland1307]

Awesome solution. Looks stupendous!!!!

[@gerardwhite8581]

WOW that dash looks awesome.

[@dalesimpson6268]

Chad, The dash is gorgeous!! Very creative.

[@donaldscheer5206]

The Chrome Striping You Are Using Is Awesome!!

[@billybullfrog]

I did this on my grille of my SUV, never really thought about using it anywhere else. Oh the possibilities😆

[@classicwheelsunited]

You did a great job on that dash!! Congratulation! Keep up Chad and Jolene!!

[@michaelbryant1671]

Man that is the best color for Elvis! Well done you and Jolene!.

[@weswhitlinger1706]

Looks awesome. I have used this "Flex Chrome" before and I love it. I have a Very high-end Deuce Roadster and I used this adhesive Flex chrome for the center strip on the 3 piece hood because it is the hot rod hood with no center hinge, unlike the 4-piece stock style "Butterfly" hood .

[@daleblankenship2242]

Awesome color choices,can't wait to see the car when it's done

[@coennemans]

I love thé looks on the dash!!! Great work!

[@johanmeijberg1834]

What an amazing solution to yet another challenge

[@michaelbennett9643]

Hopefully the chrome wont fade over time, you have done such a good paint job.

[@gavinhaig2547]

The dash looks amazing

[@chuckk212]

The dash looks fantastic - great job !!!

[@br927]

Chad, Love the dash and the way you're chroming it!! There's a difference between cheap & inexpensive!
