Driving the 1936 Hudson Terraplane for the first time in 50+ years!!! 🙌

Nathan has officially got the 1936 Hudson to the point of firing it up and driving it out of the shop. It doesn't have brakes yet but we're excited to see it move under it's own power 🙌 Watch the BONUS episode here: • We made a Bad Chad bil...

Bonus episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3zYeaCrfr-hbqc

[@alexrowe4251]

Lower the front end...will look more gangsta!

[@kajuncourier]

Leave the white one as is and clean it up,put a shine on it,tinker with the engine to give it good performance and enjoy the ride. A good wipe down inside with known good products and spiff it up. Even a exterior shine will produce good results. Enjoy the nostalgia of the car. There are probably that many cars of that model on the road, give onlookers something to talk about as you and Chad take it for a spin to town and back. Need to get some BAD CHAD license plates designed to put on the front of the cars as you and Chad test drive and sport around. A rear sign on the back glass that says " Jolene On Board ".😉

[@nboldrini]

Thank you Rooster for fixing that light!

[@AndyH-13]

Nate has taken a shine to the Terraplane.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Chad, Jolene and Nate, It was so great to see the 1936 Hudson Terra Plane dusted off and the 305 cu. in. V8 fired up and moving under its own power. If some individual wanted to buy the 1961 Volvo 544 after Nate gets it running and driving . As long it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to male her run down the road . Instead of chopping and modifying the Volvo .I would consider moving on to a new owner . For great cruiser. A rare car like the Volvo running and driving and stopping is worth $ 10,000 all day long . No I wouldn't interested in it . Because I had my time with 2 1950 trucks.

[@cristianabarsuglia629]

That Hudson has tons of character, and a great look! In fact I think it might be my favorite Bad Chad kustom ever. Love the patina, and everything about it.

[@combinedtaxi4692]

Let Nate have it he deserves it

[@silkyrobertson5675]

totally

[@matthewfoster8331]

Idea!....For the Volvo. Either keep it original and put some paint on it and clean the interior (Floor looks to be the only real issue) or just customize the ugly front end then throw some paint on it. I would say the target is to take an old car and turn it into a driver for a younger adult for cheap. The front end just looks terrible. It looks like someone stuck a old milk truck front end on a PT Cruiser. See if you can leave the roof alone for once, only mess with front door seam forward, paint (I like the white or blue inside), clean the interior and just replace flooring. Fix necessary items.

[@Low760]

The front predates both those vehicles.

[@toddbartels2866]

Chad, I think you should surprise Nate by giving him the Hudson when you are finished with the build. He adores that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Aaronlewis8846]

Man this car is Gangster. Great job Nate getting it running and all tge mechanicals on it. Dude you are a beast. I remember when Chad chopped this car and did all the work he did on it. Id see if someone wants to buy the volvo and if not id do a really cool paint job on it and let Nate do some mechanical work on it and make it a cool driver

[@SirGregg]

Sell the Volvo. They are only original once. Someone will pay you $8K for it. Polish the paint and steam clean the engine bay will make it pop. If you want to burn energy hook into the Hot Wheels.

[@rsw9480]

It would be a shame to cut the Volvo, It is a nice classic car that appears to be complete and worth alot as it is if running good.IMHO

[@patrickscanlon1631]

Great to see this running

[@robertlipscomb9741]

Nate, you look good in that car. It fits you nice!

[@pmann70]

On the Hudson ...... Due to the reduced view through the front window from the chopped roof, I'd lower front springs for better forward visibility. For the Volvo .... Had a '60 544 back in the day. Loved that little car, it was a blast to drive. Wish I still had it.

[@tonymarshall5033]

I think you should give Nathan the Hudson

[@user-lj1hi4xh6o]

That was my thought when I saw Nathan put so much work to make it run.

[@TheInfamousHotRodFarm]

No HAHAHAHAH THATS HIS JOB

[@Nathan-mw8bv]

Thank you

[@Nathan-mw8bv]

@@martyc5466 lol, no

[@Nathan-mw8bv]

@martyc5466 I would never take another man's work. They did well on this car. That is my name but not the guy on screen.

[@carlingtonroberts6262]

I think you guys should give Nate this car as a surprise. He works long and hard on it so that’s my opinion. I love it. I would rock it myself.❤

[@fonhollohan2908]

It's called Shine Juice, It's not just linseed oil, it's also mineral spirits Its a 1:1 mix. What you should really do, is clean it really well, then spray clear on the whole car, that's what I would do, If I were you Chad. That way you can really protect the patina, without it rusting any further! Natan has become very fond of that car, You should surprise the heck out of Natan and give him or at a least sell it to him for what you put into it. Btw leave the volvo original. Although it would look good chopped. It's your car your decision Chad. Chad, what I really want to see is you continuing on your dream car... don't start a new project. keep going...

[@ivoman7]

I think just a beige (broken-white) paintjob on the Volvo would look great. It would compliment the interior.

[@rooster5726]

🐔 Kuckelikuuuu 😎👍

[@davidsimpkin1213]

Hope you had a great time with Team Hiltz… I enjoyed watching you interact and having fun 👍🇨🇦

[@Gas_n_Gears]

Yo Rooster!

[@dannysunay4386]

Nice job brother!😊😊😊❤

[@Jack-mr8zl]

Id get the ol Volve running and driving brakes working try to flip it

[@peterwasson6667]

I feel that Chad has the same quality of staff as when he was on discovery. Saying that -- he needs to do a Bad Chad original build. Make something amazing from nothing like before. With Nate and Doug, Jo and Chad you could do it again.

[@richardnelson7098]

Awesome good to see that old car running again

[@jparish2469]

that looks awesome totally nailed the look as nate said gangster .think nate wants this build .thanks as always guys .qj .seemed strange without the rooster in the roost until next time have a good one

[@davidraya9468]

Lucky you have Nathan he saves you money 💰💰

[@peterland7388]

When everyone expects you to ZIG you should ZAG. I’m thinking of your Volvo 544. All agree, it’s beautiful as is... but you’re a custom builder, so that’s a dilemma. How about a ‘custom restoration’? It will look the same only better and you won’t need to cut it up at all. Take off the tacky chrome strips, fill in the holes and paint. Add sexy wheels and tires. Let Nate do a gentle upgrade on the engine and tart-up the dash! You’re done!

[@joeyb.9858]

Looks AWESOME!!! Congratulations on the work Hiltz Auto Co accomplished

[@KevinJStoll]

As a Volvo owner. Please, please keep that classic the way it is. Get it in good running condition and enjoy it as it is. Or sell it. It's a classic and should stay like it is. Just my belly button......

[@mikehidiroglou9699]

I agree

[@WestsideCritters]

Show him the money 💰, otherwise move on and be happy 😊

[@donaldhalls2189]

You could always buy it, or isn't it worth you buying it, all the best to you all

[@timmorel79]

Volvo lower the side panils 2"& cut raise side panil 2" total of 4" if nothing else❤(leave the hood exactiy where it is)

[@Teramydog]

custom the fuck out of it - stock sucks

[@randyhorton8369]

Absolutely outstanding!

[@kyledolan7897]

I absolutely love the 36!!! Just a sweet looking ride!!! Great Job

[@jonoffensend7519]

Don’t mess with the Volvo 😁🎩

[@Knightryder628]

Happy Wednesday Bad Chad Nation. And thank goodness for Rooster 🐓.

[@1944chevytruck]

good job!

[@JosephChick-ce6zx]

Love that Hudson!!!!! Keep the paint the way it is!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!

[@davidriccitiello6421]

Chad, they have a temp control for that fan. It will open the circuit when it hits like 180 or 190 and allow the fan to come on. It goes into a water jacket.

[@larszenthio1012]

A Volvo PV 544 sport from 1961 in original condition and low miles, are quite rare even in Sweden. Don't do anything like ceiling lowering on it, because all value is lost.

[@danc99]

My late father's 1st car was a blue 4 door 1936 Hudson Terraplane, straight six, I believe. Somewhere, I have a black and white pic of him with the car. Very cool. I've looked for one for years that I can afford, to restore, so far still looking. Looking forward to see the build.

[@rickbrooks194]

That is a cool looking rig . Nate is such a great part of the team . Dude knows his stuff . Blessed to have him on board . Nice to see it rolling under it's own power . Awesome !

[@mikeross5820]

Nathan would love to have it,Nice job guys looks good will look better when get fenders on.

[@hoytdenniston4349]

Love to see nate in that hudson, think it would be an awesome thing to do

[@ronaldritter5509]

Another great build by the Hiltz Co team, keep on keeping on

[@joeyb.9858]

Hudson looks AWESOME, fine job HILTZ Auto....

[@ricklucero8878]

I love this car

[@johnthomas6745]

I was also thinking Nathan deserves the Hudson. It's all him anyway!

[@daveparnell4044]

Glad that obnoxious loudmouth Avery has gone.

[@davidowen888]

Terraplane would be sweet all painted up nice 👍the Volvo is a strong car as is, the Swedish had a good thing going

[@charlielemmons5525]

This one runs and drives is a good thing. Now would be a good time to clean the shop up some.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Very cool sedan! That will stand out at the shows!

[@jerryharper2217]

Don't just cut to be cutting, it's only original once. It looks like a nice survivor. Rather see the hot wheels car come to life

[@sprintcarsandguitars959]

survivor's don't survive there,nope. he feels like cutting something!

[@janmorse8777]

Yay! Go for it Team Hiltz 👁🐅👌

[@johnpaulson9700]

The Hudson is gonna be so cool

[@ScottyToaster]

I'll watch today's episode.......as long as Avery isn't on it!

[@rhysgilbert5942]

I agree.

[@daw349]

This is the car that got me hooked on the channel. Now I watch every day. I still think this is the best-looking car you've done yet.

[@jim-cu9yp]

That Chad is like a little boy with his first toy car ,Stay young for ever !

[@williamerentfro9543]

As I live in Modesto California. Tomorrow morning starts American Graffiti! There will be a cruise after 4pm. Rolling Kustomz down McHenry Blvd. Over 2k cars just to start!!

[@coilnbird7944]

Good job boys well done

[@HeyJer]

. We need another wild one like the Bugatti Hauler. Talk about doing the important work no one else would do. Something only Bad Chad's imagination would make. Speaking of Bugatti - Dig this - the back end lines of this car reminded me of a Chiron. 21:57 Widen the roof or whatever and build the backend out like a Chiron! Search, Profile Bugatti Chiron Image and compare to this car. Just sayin'. It'd be fun to see Chad scare everybody with his creativity again whether on this car or whatever car he does next - I like when he dances on that creative tight rope!

[@joeyb.9858]

Cooler than DANG IT!!

[@user-do5ht2lo4q]

That Hudson looks great, love it. One thing I wouldn't do is chop up that original Volvo, it,s a Beauty as is.

[@DarthParkerCustoms]

Next to the Bugatti the Hudson is probably the coolest car he’s built. The style of that car with just a little chop is awesome

[@oldgrizz8720]

Looks great without hood and front fenders. Its Bad Ass for sure.

[@EricClark-io7rf]

Boiled linseed will help bring the paint back to life

[@Wheel_Horse]

PLEASE somebody buy that 544 and rescue it from "Chad's Chopping Block"!

[@tomebel7149]

move the alternator to the other side of the motor and you won't have to mount an idler pulley

[@larrybailey43]

I think That body style Volvo is best left alone and kept up. I always wanted one but never saw any at those times. A buddy of mine at the time had one in 1962 and I fell in love with um .

[@WarDogs_Dad]

The Hudson sounds awesome. As a Hudson Hornet owner I approve of you keeping g this old girl alive and kicking

[@AJ29430]

The Terraplane is just a great looking car. Props for the fabrication, a little work on the interior would make it a going into town rig, nice

[@laurensmith1828]

The hudson is awesome! Nice work guys!

[@laurensmith1828]

As far s the volvo its ugly af ,it wouldnt hurt to customize it . Kinda like them humpback fords itl only make It better.

[@user-qs2bt7fl7g]

Great to see the Hudson moving, under it's own power

[@shanewoods2271]

Love the Hudson please leave that gorgeous old Volvo the way it is sell it and make a few grand Goofy Australia

[@MrBrianbusch]

Hudson sounds really Nice!

[@jodycopeland1]

Love this Hudson she’s a looker

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Chad, there's a guy in Massachusetts that put two million miles on one of those Volvos! Leave it stock! It'd make a great daily for anyone!

[@rickerty444]

great work Nate ,

[@JethroMerica]

So happy to hear and see the Hudson in action. I think the Volvo should be lowered and have the stock drive train built crazy. Nice fat tires with old school slot mags.😎

[@GregoryBamber]

Looks like the car out of Dick Tracy.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Chad, Jolene + Nathan, that Hudson has a badass gasser stance! Right on! Mega Cheers!

[@marysambrizendine1012]

The Hudson looks outstanding Chad and Jolene and Nate 👍👍

[@Gas_n_Gears]

The Hudson chop was awesome to watch, I've seen it five times just watching the back come together. $15 on eBay, temp adjustable fan controller. Looks like the trans cooler is on the wrong side of the radiator.

[@phillipragsdale3382]

Sweet ride ya'll

[@Telephony954]

That Terraplane is like this channel, badass. I love that thing, Be well.

[@MaximumDogHerder]

Love the speedometer and lighting!

Give it to nate he deserves it you take care of your people andbthey will be loyal till the end thanks chad nomadder what your one hell of a guy a nd. Jolene

[@David_Stee]

Looks and sounds great!

[@DroooooopDead]

I absolutely love the Teraplane. I love my little PV544. It’s like driving a go cart. I would love to see you chop it. I want to do it to mine.

[@waltmarks9720]

Hi Nate and Fina

[@pasha12343]

I like this car , it is gangster especially with the rough paint 😎 I think a car for Nate 👍

[@cinemafx1]

What a cool dash!

[@mikaelgideryd]

Waow. Nice to see this old Volvo 544. My first car was a 1965 544 Sport. And the colour5 to

[@samesryals6952]

That is a sweet ride

[@ricklucero8878]

Hello everyone can’t wait to hear it run woo woo

[@richardburro770]

I Happy that you at least showed all the HARD GENIOUS WORK NATE put into this car before it's stored in your garage & never seen again. 💯

[@bmw19877]

This Hudson is AWESOME - just like Jolene.

[@mattjanzen86]

Bad Chad that Volvo thing... that's your thing man! That Hudson is kickass!!!

[@joedinazarino]

Havnt watched the channel in a bit, but that Hudson brought me back. Well Good to see the Progress Fellas.

[@donlandenberg8126]

Thanks for sharing with us today

[@scottbarham8455]

terra plane Dash .... very groovy

[@jondelaney2977]

Nate should get the honors to drive it first .without Nate the car would just be a thought go Nate your the man

[@christopherpeterson1400]

The 50 ford,, really. Jumped the channel to a new level.. so cool so impressive.. you have built a good team.. i would enjoy seeing you push forward with 50 ford complete car concept. I guy always can go forward why go backward ?
