[@jamesdillon7293]

I love that you have so much confidence in Aiden that makes him work smarter and harder the sign of a great teacher that's nice buddy

[@neilbrown3556]

Congrats on the Lincoln sponsorship. 100,000 viewers soon and you are finally getting the notice you deserve. well done

[@seanfarley1307]

Just got to throw this out to Chad, my brother if you need a really good home for your older welder, I promise you I would take care of it as my first born! 🙏 I would personally drive from Christiansburg Virginia, to take it off your hands! I am more then willing to make if fair someway or another. Financially isn't an option for me at this time in my life, Dr. Has not allowed to work for 7 months, and I have a family of 4, so if I could help you do sanding, sweeping, hell I'll clean windows! Sorry not to bug, but I've never experienced a machine to that quality, best I've used was a $50 flea market purchase. Just food for thought, I have other tools I could trade?? Love you and your wonderful family!!! BAD CHAD TO THE TOP

[@captainnag]

Another awesome video only thing I think needs changing is Jolene needs to be in FRONT of the camera at least a couple minutes on every video! She does an extraordinary job filming and Chad always talks about how lovely she looks but she is always the unseen hero. It just feels more personal when you see everyone involved and mic her up wouldn't hurt either it would be nice to hear her opinions as well! My beautiful wife and I work well together also and when we talk about projects a lot of time we come up with some pretty great ideas by her adding her opinion to my ideas and vice versa! Would just love to see and hear more from her I think would make the channel even more popular! Have a great day, watching from a small town named Uniontown that is about 50 miles southwest of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania!

[@johnboudreau6810]

Chad and Jolene , You got a good man there for a apprentice He listens well and is also has great work ethics.

[@aabartu3]

One of the main reasons I like Chad so much is Taking the time to greet and shake hands with fans even in the middle of filming. Solid human being!

[@josephpilosky4775]

Started watching this build and can't wait for the next day. It looks very good

[@jackbrydges7673]

I used to have a hobby taking wedding photography.know I see. Jolene’s picture taking how much advanced it is she has a great eve for recording a true artist yes you are one.

[@susanparody5152]

It's nice to see that Aidyn can be left to do a job without being pampered or constantly watched over.

[@andyhiskett3797]

So a friend of mine Lee was there to visit you today. He got and autograph for me!! Thanks so much. I watch you every night. You do amazing work that many can't appreciate. Andy

[@neuromanglers]

Please consider adding an "Aiden day" to your program once a week. Sponsor Aiden to build whatever he wishes, his design ideas and you ....Chad, reverse rolls and become his assistant just for the days focused on his build. Give him a budget, maybe ask for donations and lets see what this fellow wants to do. We all wished for such a chance, most never get it but here is your chance to enable something very inspiring to watch, you are perfectly positioned to lend a hand up and show the world what happens when you do. These young folks have skills we never knew existed and they must have ideas we never dreamed possible

[@nikog4071]

So true Chad a lot of people don't understand what and how long it takes to build a custom ride and to do all of the cool Fabrication I know this I'm on 12 YR BUILD ON ONE OF MY RIDES I'm praying and hoping I can have the two done buy then end of this year or next would be awesome then I can go back to my full size build I'm doing keep up the awesome job an believe me brotha I know how you feel and look about being tired but the end of the project will speak it all for you my friend have a great blessed day my Canadian Brotha......Niko.... Peoria,Arizona

[@ronc6249]

Thanks Chad and Jolene for the bonus video today, it was nice to see the '37 again. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to Chad getting this truck completed and all one color. Thanks Jolene for your amazing camera skills!

[@bobglaid3737]

You’re not kidding. Jolene is really doing a good job on these videos. She is so steady and good at zooming in and out.

[@mikebahhneman6379]

Every night before bed I find myself watching Chad and Jolene to relax and calm down for the day. Awesome job on the hood, its really coming together. I got the shirt today that I won, thank you very much.

[@jamesgroves4346]

You have great patients working with the paper to make templates I use vinyl roof flashing material to make templates it’s a little more rigid and I taped the pieces together to make big templates It comes in a roll about 12” x 30 feet very easy to cut with Scissors

[@alancroft4231]

Lot of work but coming along nicely, can't keep away from watching it now.....

[@kevinfox6220]

For your marker, could try a clickable Sharpie. I didn't know they existed until just now. That package delivery and the gifts people send you shows the love people have for what you're doing. I check in every day, and appreciate the creativity and effort - very inspirational.

[@stephenmorrissey8217]

Chad is like a well oiled machine... he does more in an hour than most of us get done in a day. Hats off to you brother!

[@i8ntnuts]

You should get a hat for that comment.

[@apx36]

Another great show ahead of us, I love watching you build something different every day

[@bryonhartley9718]

Thanks Chad! Was stumped on how to start on my firewall, little thinking and some templates, welding tomorrow. Thanks for the filming Jolene

[@antoniocovarrubias7831]

Chad I think you should leave that firewall open till you drop in your motor that way you will have plenty of space for the motor to go in, makes the job easier. Greetings from LA California!

[@leejansma6662]

Another great day with two of my favorite people.

[@andreaadrianwilliams8843]

Do you need to add a little bit onto the firewall each side to go under the old hood?

[@TheBillmax]

Lincoln electric awesome for supplying Chad with equipment.

[@jimcoplan9502]

Looking forward to this on. it will help define access to the engine and other components. Chad will also be working on the bracing he started yesterday I think.

[@c.d.england8217]

Instead of coming straight out would it leave you more room if you angled up to the top firewall? In case you get big block or anything. Looking good man

[@kennethlotzgesell4903]

Keep up the great work. Like all you do to show everyone what it takes to do a build like this.

[@alexbetteridge8200]

Nice to see your little helper in. He’s a quick learner and you are a good instructor. You work well together. Good filming Jolene.

[@susankimbal4304]

Chad, you do such great work on putting together the sheet metal! But I have been very concerned about the position of those hood hinges. could you just put a bock of wood and piece of sheet on top of the hing with a clamp as if it were the hood and then left it and see what it does. Geometry is telling me the hinges need to be at least as far back from the edge of the hood as they are lower and they look 1.5" lower and only a half inch back... You are doing so much work... just to ease my mind could you check this? Thanks!

[@davesweet4856]

I've been wondering the same thing. Wouldn't be hard to check.

[@robertdehaes9329]

great show, love the life lessons and raw talent. reminds me of ed roth. keep up the dreams, and treat jolene like a queen and aiden as growing talent. vision, focus and effort bring rewards.

[@YYChinook]

Jolene....I would like to commend you on the outstanding camera work you do. you are very focused and do a great job of keeping your subject in focus and only with a cell phone, great job young lady.

[@billyblack4985]

Congratulations on the new presents 🎁 Shows you are doing something right when companies want you to be seen using their tools 🛠 and equipment. Well done.

[@mr.wondergem1426]

I love checking in every day and seeing the progress. I’m looking forward to the finished product. Great work and God Bless!

[@peterland7388]

Great to see a company like Lincoln recognize what Bad Chad brings to the real hot rod culture! Also, Jolene's camera work is beautiful as usual. The camera loves that shop..so do the rest of us. Cheers, Pete

[@darrylway4910]

Another great lesson for me in the art of fabrication,i would've stuffed up cutting the extra metal off not thinking just to score it then break it off ,i could see myself having to weld little slip offs where I've gone through to the good metal. Lesson learned

[@StaplesandVine]

Firewall looks great. Ho about teardrop fairing for the door hinges? Front from 2 inch bent tube, rear from 2 inch tube sliced. Awesome build.

[@rijobaabojir2779]

I was thinking the same thing, make the hinges an accent. Or perhaps longer hinge straps along the door that are designed and shaped to look like intended trim pieces.

[@MadMazdawg69]

I love that you guys try to give all us fans something everyday. It’s inspiring. THANK YOU

[@ohdesignYT]

Perhaps the most sincere and hardest workers on KZbin. Appreciate both your efforts! UK

[@johnjames2496]

Chad is teaching that boy to weld and before it's over he will be able to weld anything from a broken heart to the crack of dawn .

[@laurencesteers9648]

Good to see Chad and Jolene stepping back and chilling ,but there ain’t no stopping them! They are back on the job and getting things moving forward again on the cab over. Positive enthusiasm and hard work, great ethics and an inspiration to all that take time to view their channel. Help them by hitting the like button.

[@markglenn4929]

Looks good. Can't wait to see it finished. Think a walk up door at rear would have been cool. Could use semi air ride seats in it for height. Could also add a small bench like a sleeper behind the seats. So many possibilities

[@dennisbarnett1995]

waitng for anothr exciting segment on the 36-49 build. Thank you chad and thank you jolene for your awesome filming

[@FCspecial]

You know Chad, to watch you is to learn from what you do which is great. Just the make sense tips like using the cut off wheel helps anyone who want to build their own project. Great show! I love the X-Ray comment, very cool.

[@paulegan1296]

This build is badass in every way..dig how you just get things done. Jolene your camera work also compels me to watch...Subtle shifts from small details to the whole design, all the while keeping focused on your man.

[@jamesnuttall9494]

Would love to see you build a custom trailer from made from a car to pull behind this custom ride. Great job so far. Keep up the excellent work.

[@geoffjohnson30]

Look forward to watching you every night keep up the good work! Awesome build!

[@ele97735]

I enjoy coming on at 4 o’clock every day and watching you build this truck or whatever you are working on!

[@ronlynch7744]

Great show here, but I think with all the visitors you should build a Bad Chad Car Museum for the people to check out the awesome creations. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@inksliger96]

Very nice Chad. Maybe you have a tig. If you do it’s the same as using a coat hanger. The tig moves metal by in self. You use you hanger for fill. When needed. Nice job

[@ronkpaws1]

Most people don't realize how much time it takes to do pattern work, but you make it look so easy Chad.

[@gregorystroud6119]

You could strengthen the firewall by adding a few shapes with your bead roller. Also make it look more than just a flat dull piece of steel.

[@ronaldcolonna3721]

That firewall looks like an easel for some beading work.

[@tonycarter669]

You're doing great work teaching this young man he's very talented for just learning

[@jessiejames2155]

Awesome . Every little piece adds up that's not needed..in unwanted weight . ANY weight removed, really helps . Looking sharp Chad !

[@DroTrebor]

I can’t believe how much room is in that engine compartment!

[@willwade1101]

I've been using Lincoln welding equipment since the 70s staring with their "Tombstone" arc welder. When my grandson graduated welding school I presented him with a Lincoln mig welder, cart and argon bottle as well as an extra spool of .30 wire.

[@gregpanek523]

Another day of layout and designing panels and making cardboard templates. Time consuming but it's part of the job!

[@stacykemp7566]

Man that firewall is some work. It is really coming together. Can’t wait for you to get the engine in. Appreciate all your hard work

[@jgross9619]

The firewall would look cool with some designs embossed into it, but that’s a lot of extra work. As always enjoyed the video and keep up the work

[@joesivnarain7682]

Not a bit of disappointment.....another world class workshop lesson by our world

[@joesivnarain7682]

I meant world class car builder

[@ronniebald5267]

because of this channel ive ordered my new lincoln welder,,,thank you .

[@jrogers1809]

I’d do that firewall extension to the 19” with a 1/4 round radius across the bottom. Nothing else on the car has a sharp 90* right angle, smooth it around….👍🏼

[@davidwalters4014]

I gotta give it to Jolene! All around woman taking charge of filming and editing,! Very supporting in Chad's build!

[@MF-rn5os]

Two videos today. You might think I died and went to heave. LOL. Thanks for a second upload you guys are great with giving us videos.

[@kevinfonseca3917]

I would probably get more done at home if I didn't watch you two everyday. Have you thought about moving the top door hinge higher? It would look nice if it ran into the top door molding. Not sure what it is called. GREAT JOB YOU TWO!!!!

[@TheKustomBeardoh]

Gonna be a nice looking firewall. Loving this project more and more each day!

[@frankavellino6659]

Hard work and determination pays off congrats Chad and Jolene. Good for Lincoln Electric

[@fagustini]

Sometimes I have to look and see where the hr went it goes by so fast... but we will just wait for tomorrow to see more... great job to all and great camera work Jolene...

[@johnnygarrett6055]

Getting quite a pile of cuttings from the pattern making today really getting into his work today. Build is taking shape better every day.

[@ronaldplatts2011]

The use of the templates is very kool, saves time and gives a quick look at what it maybe like, keep up the great work!!

[@leosimon9463]

You might have to figure something out for lowering the floor pan and maybe set the seat farther back to make it more comfortable to drive. Looks great so far. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see what Lincoln sent to you.😁

[@ausubo50]

​This morning video was refreshing. Reminder of the best days that aren't necessary gone. A Deja Vu.

[@joedurning3275]

Looks like the firewall wont be "hinged" to open from inside the cab like Chad said 2 weeks ago. Keep 'em guessing Brother! Love the channel!

[@billpage2828]

Loved seeing the 37 chevy today but more excited to see what Chad has planned for the truck and what all Ayden gets done . Thanks Jolene for the excellent work you do making the video and making all this happen .

[@i8ntnuts]

I saw a 38 Chevy hood in Chad’s yard. I hope the guy with the 37 was paying attention when Chad told him he had some parts. Most 37/ 38 Chevy parts interchange.

[@carldavies4314]

Great looking c.o.e. chad .. what are your thoughts on putting a roll to the bottom of the firewall rather than having a 90* return .. in keeping with the curves of the rest of the build 👍

[@tonymosca6591]

Your plan in your brain is coming together! How about using the current headlight openings to duct air into the engine and place 30’s era external headlights mounted on top of the flat part of the front fenders?

[@crittercraig9445]

Enjoy watching & learning. Chad & Jolene Aidyn and Fina do great work. But I'm still waiting to see if you brought the 3 wheeler home.

[@bigjobford1956]

Great to see you got acknowledged from Lincoln,Great way to promote their equipment and help the little guys in life

[@stevemartin9670]

I can't wait to see all these builds finished, and believe me, if you keep the videos coming I'll be watching! Just think of the amount of storage space you'll have under the floor when it's finished. Love it and Jolene does an awesome job as usual

[@drewgonzales4224]

Your making that project your working on nice .you do a good job and your a cool funny guy Chad .like watching your videos. Keep up the good work chad

[@MIKEH.777]

Another great video by Jolene, that firewall is going to be beautiful after you get done with it . And Aden is on fire welding all of the hood together. He's going to have that done in no time. I think you should make a waterfall design dashboard, with all the gauges going down the middle right to the shifter. Keep up the great work and God Bless you guys. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

[@kentmckean6795]

Good thing there isn't much welding on this build!

[@upclass7179]

These videos are not long at all, heck most people put in 8 hours and Chad you do enough work in a hour than most do in 2 days. Keep up the Great work and I will be watching.

[@tomsarver2855]

Build is looking great!! To be honest I was skeptical at first but you have won me over!! I've watched you guys from the beginning and love the love you show each other!!

[@flatheadronsgarage7345]

Coming along nicely Chad. This is how customs are made , like it 👍👍👍. Thanks for the excellent camera work Jolene, cheers from sunny and hot California 🍻🍻

[@danielb8901]

Very interesting build congratulations to you all. Jolene does the best photography on KZbin love this channel.

[@30coupe]

When using a level you must make sure the car remains level. If someone is leaning or standing on the car when the frame is not supported it can mess you up. Watch your channel all the time and enjoy seeing what you are doing.

[@tommypayton2713]

Loving the build.look.forward to your videos everyday keep up the good work guys

[@carolyndewstow8787]

Love your daily show like the way you show n explain to Aden everything you do with patience n care great way for Aden to have a good experience in a work place 🌞 have a happy day

[@garylamb4777]

Dinner and Hiltz auto show !!! It looks so ooo good metal work enjoying the the craftsmanship

[@jessiejames2155]

I've seen a few old cabs, with the rear scaffolding removed.. and a hand-built truck bed, put back on.. to match the cab...wow ! It's a cab..turned into a Truck ! It's a new trend for sure !!

[@jagnuts1]

amazing progress, Great show Chad & Jolene just watch your video on doing door gaps helped me lots on my karmann thank you guys very much love from Dartmoor

[@lancemorgan7422]

love watching you work !! you are a true artist my friend keep the good work

[@benitovaladez7596]

God bless you and the way you think, it's true you sleep so good when you accomplish something, hard work pays off in so many ways.🙏👍 PS. Your project is looking Good!

[@confuscious6273]

2 runs today,,,your little trips out are as entertaining and informative as your builds...have a great week Jolene..Chad

[@tomfortson2684]

Great idea, Jolene, Aiden's mic coverage is much better today! Chad can hold a mic nearby when needed. Aiden's getting such a good education from Chad!

[@kennethwilder9266]

what about a roll from the new firewall to the existing bottom firewall ? enjoy watching each night to catch up on the progress.

[@kenanderson9331]

Put gas struts on the hood then you won’t have to stick it way up in the air when it’s open and it will make it safer to close at the same time while adding a bit more stability too.

[@christinebornstein8239]

Your always thinking ahead. Great job on this project so far. Enjoy your show for a couple of years.

[@davidbyrd6154]

Nice to see that Aiden can be so much help because everything still needs so much work and I know you enjoy doing it but it is nice to have some of the load lightened

[@vwcoco]

Well deserved having the Lincoln welder donated.Good tips on cardboard patterns Chad. Jolene thanks for the awesome camerawork . Hi to Fina 👍
