Let's see if we can make this roof fit... but as a removable hardtop? 🤔

[@LloydWatling-g3h]

The roof looks good the way you have it now.

[@Rob1970s]

Personally I don't like the roof . The hole idea from the start was the convertible !!! It's looking good just like the photo shown , please Chad stand back and take a look at how close the car is now to the original idea !!! It's beautiful , it's so close to being finished... Why waist time and effort on the roof.. ? It's a Roadster Chad remember !!! 😢

[@joseguerrero9641]

Personal, I love the look it's yours and therefore go with you feelings. Nobody should try and tell you how to do your work. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 I like how the tops of the doors came out. I'm taking notes for my 27 Ford. Hopefully, I'll be able to do something like that. The roof looks like it's got the right shape so far. We'll have to wait and see the finished job. Like how you explain what you think as you go. Very helpful for others. Thanks for your time making your videos.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Ya know kids”” don’t ya think it’s time to let JOLEEN have a shot at 100% build a car.. She has pretty great visions & visuals of a hot rod.. good eye Miss Queen..

[@Aaronlewis8846]

I loved how you gave us all the vision by putting the paper in so we can see the vision as well. Not sure if id go with a permanent roof or if anything make it removable. I like the roadster look of it without the roof. But i can see your vision. Like you said if you dont try and see what it will look like with roof on it you'll never know. And that is so awesome you giving props to Doug And his new channel. I seen in some comments that you will get mad or whatever cause he has one now and might not work with you anymore cause he has a channel now. Thats ridiculous. i know you're not mad and it shows. These guys have been friends for what 30 years. ? So enough of that noise. Glad to see Doug with his channel. Hes an awesome guy. A long with Nate. Awesome video tonight!!!

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Hey Chad and Jolene, a great brainstorming on the removable roof concept. I personally prefer the roadster look .

[@robertstuehrenberg5719]

Seeing your brainstorming session is great! I like the idea of the top. I’m sure it would be run without out it most of the time, but being able to drive it with a chance of rain would make it more functional. I have a vehicle with a removable hard top and it’s great. It definitely needs to be lowered a bit.

Chad, love the ideas. Very creative. Thanks for the video Jolene.

[@taylorpetersen72]

Looks awesome buddy I liked the bigger window openings better and think it would keep it simple stoked to see how you do it

[@larszenthio1012]

It's easy to see where the front seats were before. The part you're holding in your hand at 17:14 you see the ends of the beams that you cut off and they go up to the torpedo wall. On the gimbal tunnel, you have a hole that was probably for the buckle for the seat belts.

[@MrSeptcarr]

The trunk is too high

[@rudiwendt5278]

LOL. No. The roof in back is too low now.

[@TerryLee-ni4iv]

You should keep to designing and building dump trucks, you have a real knack for that

[@Mgreen0104]

It’s actually giving Fastback-Roadster Vibes! I’m never against staying out the rain! Many cars were prototypes before production. Funny how we don’t critique those builds as much as Chads. Just saying. Great work as always. I love something different!

[@coryvader2133]

Chad, I envisioned a corvette sugar scoop back styling on the roof before you cut it. You could put flat glass and add mini flowing side panels from the roofline like on the c3 vettes.

If you are going to put the roof back on then shorten the length of it and re-install the rear window . Blend and fade the roof smoothly into the deck ( kind of like chopped Ford and Mercurys from '41 to '51 ) .

[@danielplummer6385]

Chad, Jolene, & Fina, it is hump day for us! Chad as long as it is removable I am good with it. What if on the section in the back that you need to extend instead of making it from sheet metal you formed it from plexiglass? That would give you a little more light in the back and you might be able to see a little bit out of it. A glass window in the back would add to much weight to the top. Jolene great job helping with the car and of course great job on the video as well as the production work! I saw Fina sneaking away when Chad was doing the push ups maybe she thought she was going to have to do them too!

[@jco1610]

The roof would make a great sled for the winter time.

[@jacquesouellette4928]

Like the roof on , cool !

[@michaelwalsh98]

Before you cut that last piece off the roof, it looked better to me, but just an opinion its your car, so cut as you see fit.

[@willwade1101]

That exhaust pipe you used at the top of the doors would work great below the drip rail of the roof. Just cut away most of the metal below the drip rail except maybe a half inch to weld to and replace it with a single length of exhaust pipe. Maybe a bit smaller (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch) exhaust pipe instead of the 2 inch you used on the doors. With the pipe you could make it mate up to where you cut the door so that the door doesn't look like it suddenly ends but when you pull the roof off it goes back to the original look you had.

[@kajuncourier]

Could you cut a piece of exhaust pipe for each side and lay the back of the roof on it to give you enough height to see out back glass. Not Sure how Canada's car restrictions would affect the build. Slope the pipes at a 45 degree angle towards the front. The slope will tie everything together. Just my opinion,take it or dismiss it all together. The pipes will give the back more support.

[@neilmunro555]

You could make a flat rollbar and lift it a little and make roof attach with pins. Curve the the flat bar to fit inside of roof if the roll bar is to high for car put a spacer on inside of roof. You could make roll bar slid in a pocket to make removeable

[@RennieBruno]

[@peterandersson7877]

Nice job! I think it will be a hot car!

[@RobertYeing-x4d]

Hope your elbow is better today...... I think it needs to remain a convertible as originally envisioned.... however it might be nice to have the removable hardtop for wet weather...... if you simply cut the bottom of the roof at the guards and then leave the window the way it is, it would give it an ever so slight rear leaning window that I think would look effective... the back pillars will line up nicely with the cross bracing of the trunk

[@scottloughnan1358]

Not sure if guys read these comments, but with roof on car looks to short, so I would recommend removing those drapes over rear tires. With roof off’ I’m still not sure about the drapes.,car looses something, can we look at car with those removed?

[@larszenthio1012]

How high you have to sit is determined by the chopped windshield, as the roof becomes a little higher and considering the position of the front seats, the position itself is the same as the original except for the height of the frame of the chair.

[@JackRoberts-pi5dt]

It won’t need a back seat with that roof. They won’t fit

I believe if you go with the roof, the slope of the rear should match, or at least emulate, the downward radius of the rear side window opening. "If ya know what I'm tryin' to tell ya..."
