LET'S FABRICATE THE INNER HOOD HINGE CONSTRUCTION

[@gemballacirrus]

I love how Bad Chad takes the time to mention several times how amazing Jolene looks, takes the time to teach & mentor Aiden & takes the time & custom fabricate the wildest & most amazing pieces of rolling art! He may call it a car, I call it rolling art, because in my heart & eyes, that is what they are! KUDOS!! WOOT WOOT!

[@OlRider6485]

Thanks guys...Awesome job on those hing,es,,Vary cool..They real,y fit that truck...I like now they stick out..A little Mad Max.Stile and CURVY,S..lol..Love it..Jolene that mic. is awesome..Every word clear...Camera work Awesome..If it ain,t broke don,t fix it.Ya had it great first time out of the gate.That,s awesome..Yur do,in a great job..Live and learn...Thanks again!!!You guys rock!...

The door hinges could double as mounts for the side mirrors.

[@june281980]

I was thinking the same thing, not that I can imagine what they would look like, maybe a round mirror on a chrome arm?

[@lapsteeler85]

That is a great idea, something built up off the top of the hinge to complement the shape of the hinge and give that shape more purpose.

[@rocky2615]

They could work as a door vent to if they covered between the hinges. Kinda like the side vents on some of the old trucks had

[@Hazzy238]

@@rocky2615 I like that idea . A large air scoop that joins both of the hinges. The shape could look like a NACA aircraft vent.

There are so many similarities between building a car and building a boat. Making patterns for a bulkhead for example. Flagging off is a term used to describe the process of using a spile stick to generate the irregular shape for the pattern. Or scribing is another method using a compass. Or poking a marker through a washer or bearing to maintain an even offset while tracing the surface. You still need to make the initial rough cut of the pattern to get it close enough to the shape but scribing after that would reduce the amount of “trimming to shape”. You could use a couple of welding triangles and small magnets to keep the bristol board perpendicular to the surface your making the pattern for. Love the show, the live format (heavy breathing included), and your approach to problem solving. Keep it coming.

Bad Chad's door hinges worked out really good ,can't wait to see how he does the hood hinges and the hood off🧢👀👍👍🏻

[@matthewfocke5360]

Great progress...This is a major build. I love it. It's great to see how you work through a concept build...Finding a solution to a design problem, one step at a time. It's great to see you challenge yourself and confront unknown solutions for the first time. You challenge yourself every day...And Jolene is challenged in how she captures activity on video. Love it.

[@jimcoplan9502]

The hood now comes off and the hinge is installed on it. Moving along with the overall build is happening at a good pace.

[@jakeswartout8789]

Fantastic work. That truck would look incredible with that custom grill that you thought about doing. Thanks for everything you've done!

[@sheldonbenson4510]

Chad you and Ayden are doing a great job welding and building the different parts of the truck and so is Jolene on filming your every move.

[@jeffkerr4861]

You have a 4 foot wide hood, Why have the hinges 6 inches apart? Same on the door hinges. Why so close? The more you space them apart the more stable they will hold something. House doors have a hinge at the top and one at the bottom, not two in the middle. If you pick up a dumbbell with weights on it do you put both hands in the middle. or spread your hands out as far as possible? Just because something is easier or faster does not make it better. Your artistic, and body work skills are excellent, engineering and mechanical not so much. Doesn't make you a bad person. Take a little more time and thought with your weaker skills. Or even talk to someone who knows more than you to help. Life lesson, no matter how sharp you think you are, there are many who will amaze you Henry Ford didn't build either of those cars alone, he got smart help to make his ideas work. The car is still called a Ford.

[@davidfickle2687]

This design reminds me of a Disney cartoon from the 1950's, it's a bit Bubbly (if that's a word), kind of a steamboat Willy sort of look. The hood and most of the front fenders remind me of streamlined locomotive also from the 1950's. Very neat so far ... then come the front of the fenders/headlights which seem oddly out of place from the rest of the look. I think they should follow the rest of the 1950's look instead they look to me like a 1960's space ship look. But you're the man!

[@franka2507]

We are all hinged to this build 💪👊👍

[@allanimalstaxi]

Looking good, great camera work Jolene you rock! I hope you have Aidyn is around for several months or more, by then you should be back on Jolene's car and welding it up, so we can see her drive it down the road. We need to get one of these projects finished.

The hinge looks great. Chad, you should use the 'contour gauge' that someone sent you for the pattern inside the hood

Your hinges are too close together. Top hing should be where the factory top hing is . That will stop the sag

The door hinges look like they belong on your truck. A perfect style for sure (IMHO).

[@aserta]

Later on, so the doors don't open more than they need to and wreck the paint (if, that's a concern, of course) you could use a leather strap, bolted to the inside of the door to limit door swing. My grandpa installed one on his truck which had a door mounted tool box (a farm, mostly, truck). It was mounted such that it was perfectly heighted for working on his farming implements with the truck parked right on it and because the box was easily crumpled, he put a leather strap.

I actually like the hinges, I still like the idea of an art deco type chrome portion on the hood that could be extended into the hood hinges pattern.

[@thomasneumann632]

Your creativity at work is sensational. Nice detail solution for the hinge of the door.

[@allenshively6374]

Hi Chad, I think you should probably stand a hinge straight up and measure to see if there will still be enough distance from where you're mounting the hinge on the hood down to the cowl or if the hood will hit on the cowl before the hood can be open as far as you need it to be? I think just to be safe it would be good to know before going much further. I like the way the door hinges are turning out but I've been worried about the shape of the hood hinges and where they are mounted ( below the cowl by some distance) possibly reducing the distance to the cowl when the hood is raised causing it to hit the cowl before it gets to the open position. Not trying to be negative but I'm a retired welder/ fabricator of 35+ years and still do custom fab. as a hobby now. I've got several projects of my own to finish so wishing you the best on yours. P.S. Many hood hinges depend on a pivoting 4 link design that moves the hood forward as it is raised to maintain the needed clearance at the cowl.

[@380.motorsports]

Jolene, You’re doing great at steadily improving the audio and video quality. Go to sites like B&H Audio (and others) that sell sound mixing equipment. There are multiple choices available for small audio mixers that give you 2 or more inputs and have the iPhone lightning connector then they also have a headphone jack to allow you to monitor the sound quality live. You’ll need to do a bit of research for the best device for your needs but they are available. The other day I think the mic gain was just a little too high and with it positioned near Chad’s face you get that breathing noise and I could hear the input level over peak at times when he talked loud. That’s where a mixer will allow you to adjust levels to prevent those issues. Welcome to the world of sound mixing!!! It’s fun but can be frustrating at times but keep up the effort as you are getting better all the time. Today the sound level for both mics seems perfect.
