Fabricating a two-piece butterfly style hood into a one-piece hood 🔥 1940 PLYMOUTH COUPE

We are getting starting on the hood fabrication today. We want this two-piece butterfly style hood to be a one-piece hood and this is how we're going to do it. This method will give us the perfect gap along the cowl and the hood sides. It's a lot of welding but it will be worth it... here we go 🔥 www.hiltzautoc...

Hey Chad, it's been fun watching you progress as a builder. I love how you use basic tools and make it work... and save time ! The 40 Plymouth reminds me of my best friend "Rebel" in Jr high and high school. He was a brilliant mechanic and fabricator. We started rebuilding cars and engines when we were 14. His first build was a 40 Plymouth with a 361 Plymouth engine and 4 speed....many more to follow including a 72 pinto with 351W. We knocked a day off of school and rented a pipe bender from a muffler shop for the day and made a set of headers for it. Sadly he was killed in a motorcycle accident at age 28. So the 40 is a great reminder of him for me.

The world really needed Chad in 2020 and Chad will never steer you wrong

Your teaching the next generation of fabricators with these tutorials. The tips and tricks you explain are years of experience/fails that will save time and money. College is expensive you have to pay attention if not your just paying. 👍👍from this guy

[@richardmorris7063]

Don't think you all celebrate Thanksgiving but happy holidays from the sunshine state.chad appears to be self taught,with a little training could be great.He works off the floor & is a little disorganised but the end result is usually very good.

[@jasongibbens4309]

Hey Chad I'm a big fan of your work you got me fired up to get my projects going thanks

[@willjones4279]

I love the way you teach ..and learn ing some great tips. Thanks

[@Romanm1957]

What a Great video! This is Hot Roding at its best.

[@buffdelcampo]

Thank you once again!

[@bobbyoz8251]

THANKYOU for a fascinating insight into building a custom car!

[@cristremblay6392]

Great video

[@dansautorestoration]

Its a great idea to hinge the hood, but I was thinking another way that would have been cool is to made slide rails for the hood and fender meeting points so you could slide the hood straight forward and remove it like a dresser drawer.

[@cyberpunk4622]

The center hood seam would look good going over the roof and down the back, creating a nice accent. Just a thought, I'm channeling my inner BadChad. Great video, look forward to the next one!

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for another great video Chad and Jolene. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@tomsawyer247]

Good interesting stuff guys makes me want to go and pick up the old Merc I have been looking at and try my hand at this.

[@Emazingridez10000]

Hey chad love your videos old school car building at it’s finest. Have you ever thought about using cordless power tools they make life so much easier

[@ZonDog]

Chad, your technic is amazing!👍🆒🚘

[@jerrycrotty3194]

Love this guy

[@boneal4942]

Awesome and Thankyou for the inspiration 👍

[@gregworkshop5713]

hi like the car going to look very cool

[@billybowbob2071]

How about a custom designed hinge setup that allows the hood to pivot up, forward and then down so it stands verticle in front of the grill?.....

[@glavina01]

What are the hood brackets and hinges going to be like?❤️

[@travismanley4448]

👍

[@peterprevost4908]

you r the man

[@ronclewell799]

How difficult is it to make a flip front end ??

[@WOWTODAZ]

Hey Chad can you do a hood hinge video?

[@briankinnear7461]

Great video. Very informative and great dialogue. I'd say a side hinge. Just something different. As you say, not text book...it's custom/

[@wcgwgarage]

whoever is running the camera should just hold on to a pencil and pliers... would make this so much smoother to watch. Great info love watching these.

[@drewpierce2273]

I like the different angles and the zoom ins. I thought observing the hood edge weld through the windshield opening was pretty clever.

[@wcgwgarage]

@RebelDeuce nah.. Just someone to pass him stuff when he is struggling to locate them. It makes it authentic, lord knows we all do it.. "where the hell are my glasses?!"

[@glennminnis2201]

It’s looking good .... I’m looking forward to all these new videos..... cooler then dogshit

[@drewpierce2273]

I hope it's a side hinge because that won't ruin the lines of the body from.any angle as opposed to a typical vertical rear hinged hood. My opinion for what it's worth.

[@harleytwincam2]

I love the look so far, except for the grille. I hope that you are going to change the grille to something better looking.

[@musashinagatsubo9574]

Much better audio!

Купить машину которого сделал Крутой Чед это само гордость! 👍В гараже стоит допустим Форд кастом 30-х годов которого сделал Чед, и ко мне допустим пришли друзья смотреть мои автомобили и я им сказал бы дружище смотри у меня есть тачка которого сделал сам Крутой Чед!!! И это круто👍!!!

[@dragontattooee]

Are you going to run a peak through the middle of the hood

[@moyadapne968]

21:36 I heard him say he was gonna (try to) get a peak on the hood.

[@briansargeant1949]

Just my opinion but that chopped Plymouth is way cooler than the Bugatti. Be careful Jolene my change her mind on which she wants.

[@scotmartin4460]

Man, you are Amazing, but you talk too much! :D
