Fitment issues with the flip front end? 😐

The fabrication for the flip front end isn't over... we need to put it back on and continue fabricating the fender caps. We're worried that we're going to run into fitment issues due to all the welding that was done while it was off the car 😐

Chad, when you welded the two pieces on the fender to but together when you close the hood, you could add two guide pins so when you close the hood, the pins would go into the holes in the fender and line itself up. It would not only line it up, it would hold it in place. Just a thought. - John

[@raydenney6986]

Great idea. The fender edges need to be flanged. (thought the same thing myself)

[@laurnanewlands3790]

Nate is worth his weight in gold and a great team player

[@peterland7388]

A friend who’s an excellent painter (landscapes) is often asked the same question: “ how long did it take you to paint that? His honest answer is “don’t really know...maybe three hours” The questioner starts to calculate the hourly rate - when he adds “plus forty years to Learn how!”

[@brewstar58]

It makes good sense,imho.

[@peterland7388]

Thanks, I’ll take that as you agree that creative work needs to take in experience and know-how into the value. Chad seems to value speed over everything, but in his case, why?

[@cannabisticannabisticino2718]

That flip-up front end is wonderful. 😎👍 Great work guys, even with the other car

[@oatman6640]

hello everyone from FRANCE , good work on the flip front and the car.

[@richardwoody9928]

I love the flip front end and it looks great.....a little tricky to get things square but so much worth the extra effort to get that look. Nate is a great asset and luxury to have in your shop. He's very well rounded in automotive knowledge and very practical in his work. Great job handling the camera Jolene.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Well done Chad, Jolene and Nate, progress is being made on both projects. The hood flip on the 1940 Ford Coupe with hood aligning to the body looks great . Nate is a mechanical wizard in making strides in wiring up the starter switch , headlights , gas gauge and oil , pressure , voltage gauges and etc. Not everybody has the aptitude to totally rewire a 1936 Hudson Terra Plane.

[@Michael-dh1xr]

Amazing visions and the work that it requires…. Your shop is an incredible inspiration to those of us who LOVE OUR PASSION FOR BUILDING CARS… THANK YOU

[@shake-the-earth1]

Chad, thanks for the tips and tricks. Looks great. Thanks for the video Jolene.

[@PhillipWilliamson-sp5ct]

Why didnt you get the shape before spot welding it together? You would have got the shape much easier and closer than guessing by slipping the paper between the divided fender. And the bottom of the cut piece of metal should mirror the top curve. You make things more difficult than need be. Just my observation.

[@michaelhamm6805]

Everybody has there own way to get there...as long as we get there.

[@kbschulze]

I think Chad’ way works fine. Better than a wobbling fender. He has built dozens of cars, he has his way and you have your. Everyone thinks their way is best lol

[@jasonp7769]

All these keyboard warriors guaranteed he's got a desk job he's probably got to call AAA when he gets a flat tire or needs air in there tires😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adammartin7040]

I've like all your builds, but I love how the hotwheels car is turning out.

[@johnkranz4004]

Very Nice Chad. And Nate Jolene good video

[@charlielemmons5525]

Nice to see the flip front end back on the car. Getting closer to pulling the body off to strengthen the frame.

[@markkuahlamaa770]

Good Work ! Hello From Finland !

[@johnweeks5614]

It's awesome to see the tilt front end going back on and getting all adjusted to look perfect again

[@gilbertdavies1182]

Unbelievable camera work yet again 👌🏻💫🥇🥇🥇

[@iskabibbledudad1991]

Fantastic work Chad like everything you do thanks for the video Jolene

[@dankniseley9486]

Mak8ng a flip front with original sheet metal is a tough go at times but yours is fitting nice great job. It actually is fitting better than some of the fiberglass kits looking great

[@mikebroszczak5767]

Looking good big job way over my skill level 👌

[@clivefisher2335]

Chad will sort it out he ALWAYS does

[@SteveOverman-ou3my]

You Mr Nate will 😊

[@robertyeing9666]

I made a suggestion earlier in the videos about possibly adding a slide feature to the flip hinge, not sure if you saw it.... this waould allow you to slide it forward say 4" and then flip it.... this would allow you to get the exact gap between the fenders/firewall etc and then slide into locking pins to hold it all perfect...... again just a suggestion you may want to consider

[@Michael-dh1xr]

Very good suggestion

[@rosspage9516]

I said the same thing. I used actuators to control my front clip on my 67 C10 custom.

[@frankducatelli2572]

CHAD WOW GREAT JOB I ENJOYED TO WATCHED VIDEO FROM JOLE FROM DEAF GUY THANKS FOR CLOSED CAPTION,

[@marysambrizendine1012]

I know you and Nate will make it work 👍👍

[@ronniependell9117]

Flip front is super cool , nice to watch Chad slow down a wee bit , carry on brother

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB!

[@laurensmith1828]

That thing is gunna be great!

[@1unaffiliated1]

Look at a Big Rig Flip type hood...Look at the guides, slides and cable and springs contraption..That will give you some ideas...

[@brewstar58]

Gotta Love Nathan ! ~~. He needs his own merch. ~> A bigger piece of the pie, IMHO :)

[@Michael-dh1xr]

Nate is a very self-direct hand…. A great Comrade who is cooperative and a steady guy! Good crew folks!!

[@kbschulze]

Great job chad, step at a time. You are extremely talented and patient

[@henryallisonsr8318]

Hi Jolene Chad and Nathan. Hope you all had a blessed day. I will say keep up the good work. God bless and have a blessed evening and night.

[@janmorse8777]

It's a shame we didn't get too see the '59 Ford Retractable in yesterday's auction video also I was wondering why the comments got turned off 😕 You will make it fit Chad 👍 Go for it Team Hiltz 👁🐅👌

[@davida877]

👍

[@neilwalsh9637]

am I dreaming….when I watched yesterday I saw the 59 Ford sell for $4,000.00……I’m sure I did but it’s not on yesterdays video now…….

[@lukeandjilljelsma654]

I wonder what he came home with.

[@user-ki3wh8eo6b]

When we make a shape; we take a piece 0f 1/4 in. copper tubing and bend it right around the fender and we have our shape

[@roywalden2306]

Nate should bring that alternator down a little and flip the bracket on top where it goes but over all good job 👍

[@SonnyMadden-ds8nu]

Looking good

[@claudeperron8197]

Love this car, wish is was my street car( as is)! Nice job you guys and Miss Jolene and Fina girl.

[@howquick]

Looks great guys. Well done Chad

[@markplant2184]

Awesome, Thanks

[@vwcoco]

Cool to have bonnet /hood strapped down also Chad . Thanks jolene for filming 👍 hope Fina ok

[@shanewoods2271]

Yep I watched some other shows but jolene's work with the camera is exceptional beautiful and talented not just saying that but her camera work is really good

[@piranha79velasq62]

Love the hot rod muscle car coupe build looking awsome cant wait see it all done 😎🤘👍

[@petjamsto9058]

Very impressive 👍

[@janjan1638]

I love de 🚙 Car!!

[@claytgibbons2089]

Another great show .Y F.😊

[@Joe-fu8mw]

Nice work Chad

[@joeblast81]

Nice 👍

[@stephenfularz7573]

Fantastic vidio.

[@howdoyoudo80]

Progressing well Chad, like your problem solving skills and patience, looking great!

[@user-qs2bt7fl7g]

Hot Wheels car is coming right along, looking forward to see the Hudson running

[@gordonmcveigh5302]

NATH is a super star , CAR guy love watching the hard work ,jolene on the ball again chad not so bad lol

[@Santafefrank]

Thanks Shad 😊

[@James-qr6rp]

good work on the Hudson nate.. good work on the toy Chad and great filming Jolene..

[@andyd.1793]

Looking forward to seeing what you all are up to tomorrow🍀

[@mikehammel1091]

You should get some struts to help lift the hood and also keep it from opening to far. Also some hood prop strut clamps.

[@doncortazzojr2960]

Yes that's a good idea

[@gregnorton5776]

FINA!!!

[@tomebel7149]

That form tool you have is what you needed to start with.

[@roymilton426]

Watching the comedy paper template episode thought for a minute I had tuned into a Laurel and Hardy film........hard boiled eggs and nuts Mmmmmm.....

[@russgould7458]

Put self tightening clamps on the underside of the “meeting “ fenders

[@robertbriggs1968]

You guys need a awesome hood ornament that you can grab the hood to open and close the hood, good show you guys 🎉

[@kodiak2005]

Love it Chad. Reminds me, of me. Talking to yourself... "Stop it", should I tack it?" Your show, is top five, WAY better, than when it was on TV... Keep grinding, you and miss Jolene Rock!!!

[@patrickscanlon1631]

Nothing the great bad chad can't fix

[@quantumreality8844]

Fun fun fun 👍

[@howdoyoudo80]

I also can see you putting buckles connecting the joints with guides beneath like you suggested,

[@Bamabuggin256]

Maybe a couple line up pins 1 at the edge of the fender and 1 at the 45° angle at the top.. kind of like you do on the fender skirts... just bouncing an idea.. looks good

[@timbrown2579]

Everybody loves Fina

[@wesleydiguistino5801]

Where the fender matches up together you should weld a piece of metal to both sides and have a alignment pin installed..

[@rosspage9516]

Going to do that on my 67 C10 custom flip front end.

[@purplerain55]

Who ever got the 59 ford got the deal of this century.5 thousand worth 20 thousand...lucky dog.

[@gildayton3566]

They did not sell it the bid was two low move it down the road

[@81carrerasc]

I tried to get in touch with these people and offered the $8k he asked for the 40 Plymouth Coupe immediately on posting of the video, via their so called website. Silence, nothing, nada ........ also asked if he would build a project car for me. Same ........ crickets. I honestly don't believe he wants to build cars for clients. I am fast losing interest in this channel.

[@johnwade5747]

Those stretchy rubber straps that they use on semi’s to hold the doghouse on, and I think some jeeps use them as well might be in your favor out on the fender itself. If you found some small ones that wouldn’t look too bad and would give it a little rigidity and cushion at the same time. I sure like the way the car is coming along it’s going to make one hell of a ride when it’s all said and done👍

[@MikeHerring-xc7qt]

There's Fina ❤

[@user-qq4sk8ec2b]

Looks good I love it

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Comeing on nice

[@user-lj1hi4xh6o]

You all do a fantastic job.

[@johnwade5747]

I just had a thought… If a person straightened out a coat hanger and then took their thumbs and tweaked it little by little until it matched the curvature of the seam in the fender pieces you could transfer it over to the paper or skip the paper all together and use a coat hanger as your ‘template’, so to speak

[@gilbertboulanger8536]

Hi all from Trois-Rivieres Quebec

[@gerrycomfort7027]

A IT JUST A SHOW A

[@gerrycomfort7027]

AND CHAD WEN ALL THE THIM. HE IS VERY GOOD Y NO

[@user-wf3nv7jg1r]

Usually flip ups only include hood section first time I've seen half of fender included I don't know about fender being split well have to see when it is finished how it looks.

[@dbabb2484]

Flip front ends are extremely common on drag cars, always have been

[@johnwade5747]

Those hoods come in so close and narrow in the front and with the enormous engine, the whole flip doghouse like he has it will be a big plus. Especially when it needs some attention to adjusting and such.

[@aabartu3]

👍

[@marktheriault434]

Hello from fredericton NB

[@user-eu3ei9rv5e]

Bad Chad, you make this old man a little nervous using the "wheel of death" so close to your toes! Be careful and keep on keeping on!!! Cudamartin from South Carolina!!

[@owps663]

Back when you made the cuts to separate the hoods from the fenders, i was wondering if a thin strip taked on each side on the outside, might maintain some rigidity and integrety to keep thm from flexing once you seperated them. Im thinking now with what you're dealing with, it may have been a good idea.

[@gregc4270]

👌

[@David-rx5eo]

If Chad would have used the first piece for the fender as a pattern for the second one they would have been much closer to the same.

[@andrelane37]

Hey Chad it's looking really good. Just wondering about the weatherstripping along the top of the hood under the windshield, that's definitely going to change the height of the hood side of the fenders as well.

[@pauljochims2215]

You guys are Cooler Than Dang It!

[@howardmarshall5713]

Chad I am thinking this is where you make the fender fit the piece instead of making the piece fit the fender. you got this 🙂👍

[@johnmcdonald4098]

Add couple hatch struts to front clip to slow down / soften opening and closing

[@jamesbennett8135]

What size zip disk do you use I watch you every day I look forward to it 😊

[@gildayton3566]

He tells us to comment will do it good or bad no one is perfect comment it may help we will never know he dose it his way we do it to but some times a out sider helps. so do it comment, subscribe, like , it help's his channel

[@gmc.joesousa4360]

Monday

[@ezranobles1528]

I'm thinking if you split a rubber hose like a 3/8 and line the edges of the hood

[@jerromedrakejr9332]

Hood fenders need to have pins or claws that will go into the slots on the back half of the fender, and on the top would be nice few quick couplers...

[@user-vf9sg8zh5v]

You are a artist 🤯👍

[@01givy]

They do make a 20 inch contour gauge .

[@williamwatkins1264]

If you had went to the other side and place the paper in the gap and push the sides together then draw the shape with the pin it would have been the easiest. maybe!

[@jeffthorson625]

i wonder is you could take some tubing bandit to the contour of the fenders on the vehicle cut it in half i do not know it can use both pieces or you have to make two then take some round bar, bend it and weld it to the hood and use it merry clamp and lock you will still need a top clamp lock

[@junie1955]

Electric lifts for front clip would be cool.

[@rosspage9516]

I'm using electric actuators on my 67C10

[@cherrycrawford4865]

What's going to happen when you remove the hood brace?

[@horaciogaticaa]

YOU NEED A WORK TABLE!!!!!!!.....

[@81carrerasc]

It'll never happen, fast beginning to see what others see ........ amateur, not professional ....... who uses the floor ???????

[@rosspage9516]

Didn't like the angle cut that everyone uses. So on my 67 C10 I'm using 10 inch push pull actuators to push the front clip forward before raising up to access the engine. No angle cut.

[@johnwade5747]

I felt kind of sad for the family or owner of the auctioned off stuff in Yesterdays video. Someday that will be me having my stuff gotten rid of though I don’t have anything super worthy of commanding big money mainly just old antique engines from yard machinery and a bunch of antique toys. And my homemade motorbikes. People will say once you’re gone it doesn’t matter what happens to your stuff, but if you leave a spouse behind, it does matter because of the monetary side of things.

[@rickyrosenbauer3541]

shut the paper in the seam between it will hold i for you pull on fender line up seam same pat for both sides
