How should we customize the headlights? 🤔

[@richardfry8959]

Nate is a very quiet man who has the ability to just work along and come up with great solutions and just gets her done . A real bonus to the operation .

[@Wheel_Horse]

@@rolfbrunner3016 It does get a little tedious watching Chad run back and forth like a chicken with his head cut off, doesn't it? I too would like to see more of what Nate does.

[@Wheel_Horse]

@@donaldhalls2189 Of course. It's Chad's channel, right? Still... why are we here? To watch Chad scurry about, or to watch the progress of the build? If Chad were sitting in a rocker knitting, would we watch? No. Whether or not it's his channel, the focus should be on the build itself. I'm here to learn stuff, not to be a 'fan boy' and watch Chad. Aren't you?

[@RonnieLeslie-cj1yj]

Nathan needs to start his own channel. He is a real knowledgeable fabricator. It would be interesting. I would watch. Chad talked a little about what Nathan was building and said he liked to go fast. Ronnie.

Hi and happy new year from Australia 🇦🇺, I so glad you two don’t listen too much too the negativity by a few, and do your own thing. It’s educational, entertaining and an always watch daily. And great with Douglass and Nathan doing interesting and entertaining works an interaction with all 4 of you. I have a Red Healer the same size as Fina, a fabulous addition to your family and show. See you in Aus ❤✌️🇨🇦

[@George-dy3pt]

Exactly

[@gasNmudtv]

The haters probably can't even tack weld, let alone build a fully custom sled.

[@paulhiscock6790]

I am in the uk and I don’t drive because of a medical issue but I love cars. I have seen many car building programs but I like watching what you do the most. I feel like you really live and breathe what you do and have genuine talent for working on the cars and design. I love this car so far. And great to see Jolene really engaging in what you do too. Keep it up

[@911hillclimber]

I'm a bit lost for words. The chop was very well done in my opinion (built hot rods in the '70s), but these extensions are taking the look towards bizarre? Never ever did I think Triumph GT6 bonnet parts would be used on any car like this. I hope all you joint efforts will work out, but it is hard to see for me at the moment.

[@garypenne8114]

Since you’re customizing the tail lights and headlights I would cut the center raised section out of the green hood and graft it into the center of the ford hood. Looks like it would blend in fine. You could it out and lay it on the ford to see how it looked before grafting it on.

[@grantscrimgeour1848]

Less is usually more.... Personally I prefer the shoebox shape and in my opinion, adding doodahs like extended tail lights and headlights is going to do nothing for this build. I have ended up liking the roof chop (despite my earlier misgivings) and if it were me I would have stopped there and concentrated on getting the body ready for a really nice paint job.

[@Estabanjuan]

I totally agree with you. I'm still reeling from the extended tail lights, which look like add-ons. Frenched headlights with eye brows, or just eyebrows.

[@maxyearwood1085]

Big Daddy Ed Roth built unusual vehicles that were one of a kind, that showcased his talent. Chad's makeovers look like Add-Ons with no purpose to enhance the cars he works on. Kind of like Johnny Cash's Cadillac with all the mismatched parts in his song.

[@Estabanjuan]

@@maxyearwood1085 Well, I'm not saying what you are saying. I'm only addressing the taillights. And it's just my belly button opinion. Overall, I think Chad has amazing vision and a great sense of converting his vision into reality. Like it or not.

[@jeffpoisson4054]

How many custom cars have you created?

[@craigmay8713]

Shoebox where dowdy to start with..but a good platform to customise. In my humble opinion.

[@fishkeeper4199]

This car is turning out badass! Before you chopped it, I didn't think it would look this "mean". It's sick! I respect the hell out of your style of building. Ive learned a shitload watching your troubleshooting! Kentucky, USA.

[@fishkeeper4199]

I quite like the art deco idea for the taillights. Freaking radd

[@fishkeeper4199]

Fabricate a cool grill for it.

[@CarlTeskey]

To all, keep up all the fantastic video, designs, repairs and builds. Having fun is important in every show. It is great to see chad using items around for parts, keeping the purchasing down to a minimal, so Don't let it come to a grinding halt.

[@maryharrill621]

Love it when Jolene shifts the camera slightly away from the action to see what Fina is doing. Very sweet.

Yup French them in. Smooth rounded look.

[@richardburro770]

Chad is trying to make what his belly button says. THAT'S a good thing!!! Some of you are criticizing him for doing unusual things that to cars. Well, that's what CHAD is known for so leave him alone. Other customize-rs can do what you guys are suggesting. CHAD is SPECIAL creating something different out of Scrape parts with at very little to build. KEEP UP YOUR ORIGINALITY CHAD....YOUR ONE OF A KIND❣💯

[@russgould7458]

I watched a video, “51 Ford, Jay Leno Garage.” Two things struck me about the $100,000+ build: They used the same interior shifter linkage Nate made for the T-bird, and they pancaked the hood and the roof, to give it longer, sleek look. Very nice!

[@mattellis1283]

Amazed at your vision and that you can see the result before you start!

[@MikeHeiman-x9x]

I usually like most of what Chad does and when I don't I at least can see what he was thinking. Unfortunately the headlights will look ridiculous. Once chopped and dropped the front of the car looked cool. Adding those bug eyed headlights makes it look clownish to me. A cool grill with a low profile bumper would be awesome. Oh well, like Chad says, it only has to look good to him.

[@ionutmircea1103]

I see those headlights being cool,love them

[@dougcoolidge9713]

Hey bad chad….it’s just me ! Just another dude with a belly button. I can’t turn my head away from this show. The work you do is mesmerizing to watch. Even when it hurts. Am I a fan? Why hell yes!… I watch the vids for comic relief. I love the way you began this build with that fancy chalkboard design drawing. By then I knew this shoebox was going to be a keeper… along with your other collector custom cars. (ie the bike hauler with the strange louvers on the deck lid. ) But you are the man who owns the garage, the car, and all of the grinders and cut off wheels! It’s your show. And you can do whatever you want to deplete the dwindling supply of good usable custom car material out there. So let the haters moan and grown. It’s obvious you don’t listen to them anyway! So Happy New Year to you all up there in the Great Frozen North East.! No cars were destroyed making these comments.

[@eduardoquintana2885]

Man a simple chop, lowered, nice set of wheels and a nice clean paintjob is all you needed 🤦🏻‍♂️ lol

[@tonymosca6591]

The small details make custom cars

[@janevandemark3394]

Just looked at the backend line and tails. One thing for sure the car is stretching out. So I like the head light idea. With the front of the cars hood coming forward to a point. Six inches like Jolene said looks good to counter the front end. I could speculate but no less than six. Could be slightly more and it wouldn't hurt. The headlight itself should add a little more length. I understand about the chrome and all I would really like to see is that you repair and restore the chrome as much as possible. With a new paint job this car really does demand the chrome to be as good as you can get it. ** My husband who has done mill and factory work says you really should get a work bench so you're not struggling on the floor so much. I think it is a good idea. Take good care.

[@TopQGuy]

Really needs eyelashes added to the headlights

[@georgecosta1241]

Great work Jolene,Chad ,Nathan, Doug, love the show, very educational and easy to follow for beginners like my self, 💯🤙

[@AndyH-13]

Good to see Doug back with the team, although he’s lost his sence of humour so maybe not feeling 100% yet. Nate’s doing a killer job on the windows. Headlights are going to tie in with the taillights and look cool.

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Thanks for all the work team

Love the tail lights but the headlight extension is just not doing it for me. Love it just the way they are.

Thinking the raised center portion of the GT6 hood transfered to the center of hood on the 50, would be a addition to the look of car.

[@notfallingforit8886]

Don’t let your headlights DROOP! Keep a straight line from tail light to headlight

What about a doubled taillight? You got all you need at your neighbours place in the woods. Parallel or at an angle of 90° underneath the extended one.

[@DeonUys]

Hi Chad. Just a thought. The donor hood has a good looking buldge on it. How about considering fitting it on the 50's hood. Won't be that much work and could give a more aggressive look. Maybe worth a try to test fit it.

[@Yesshur]

[@darwinfoster7420]

Extending the headlights to hood point reminds me of the ugly Studebaker front end .

[@Da1nOnlyPigsta]

I would have pulled the Headlights back 2 or 3 inches and fitted Jaguar Recessed Rims. Pull the look of the front back swooping down to a longer rear end, Sled style. Like a Mullet, Business in the Front, Party in the Back. Sorter fronts and longer rears have always worked on iconic Muscle Cars and I feel also works well on Sleds. Overhanging fronts are akin to the ugly head on a Carp! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP the Bullet in the Grille! Do something with it, Spotlight, Fog light, Mascot/Emblem etc. The Bullet is ICONIC on a Shoebox/ Single Spinner Ford retaining its original ties to the iconic Studebaker's of the era...

[@AGELLOVERS]

Really loving the build be nice to get a hold of or customize a rear bumper similar to 57 Cadillac you can buy just the ends with the exhaust ports coming out the larger oval ports 55-56 smaller round but with the taillights I think would be killer look and go great with the rear styling something to think about build it but the ends whatever but would go great on this beauty

[@markharris3785]

I feel it might be nice to build the tails lights in to the bottom of the car so the don't stick out so much! You could taper them in to the body at the bottom so they look like they are part of the car body just a thought take it or leave it!!

[@johnfarney5328]

Your VISION is awesome. I wish I could see it that way.
