LOWERING THE 1949 MERCURY CABOVER TO A 5.5" RIDE HEIGHT: PART 2

[@markdutka3774]

It's Monday a great start on another week in the shop at the Hiltz Auto Co. garage, I'm sure we will see some amazing things done on this 49 Mercury cabover project. Let see what's in Chad's brain this week I'm sure it will be an great week. Im looking forward to how the lower panel ends up looking once Chad puts things together down there. Also i would like to say the quality of the videos has improved greatly and that's because of the skill of Jolene, give yourself a pat on the back. Thanks Mark Dutka

The step, or steps, should probably be directly under the door, not further back. You have to think about climbing back out as well, not just getting in.

[@roncoles6802]

chad , you can put step in the side under the door like fighter plane have with a closer after remove your foot .

[@mattcasoni]

I was thinking the same thing but I couldn’t figure out why it would be so far back but then again I never built a truck.

[@Full_48]

Old Cab over big rigs are frenchd in behind the door so you can get on step and still swing door open and closed.

[@mattcasoni]

@@Full_48 ahh ok that makes sense.

[@davidvansickle563]

Thanks Jolene for your exceptional photography skills.👍👍👍

[@bradgates7067]

Surround yourself with positive vibes, happy people, and that won't make you happy - but it helps. Only you can make you happy. Only you can let the negativity get under your skin, learn from the negative, but don't live by it. Shit happens, and you can't change that. Sometimes it happens and happens. It's not that it happens, it's how you react that makes or develops who you are. ...Chad, you're obviously too nice. You don't have to say anything about negative stuff they say in your comments. Love your show! / Love the places and people you surround yourself with. Keep focusing on the positive and we can only hope it rubs off on us too.

BEST AND ONLY REAL REALITY SHOW ON KZbin, CUSTOM ART DECO SUPER CAB OVER METAL HAULER . BRILLIANT.

[@kalnieminen65]

I've really learned a lot of techniques you've employed. Also at first when I saw your project I was like ugh, but now that I've been watching you develop this vehicle, I find it to be very cool and interesting. Its really coming along. At the 1:05 mark I could see the vehicle in its more finished form, great job.

[@johnholmes183]

The rocker sills really make the profile complete. Great job guys,

[@serenityseeker396]

👍🏼😎👍🏼Love watching your fabrication skills

[@darrelldunaway928]

Jolene walked in the paint room filming her Bugatti! Chad, that was a subliminal message to you to get her car done! I could almost hear her crying as she filmed it LOL

[@mattcasoni]

I like this Bugatti better

[@rexdrabble4988]

May be Jolene can finish it.

[@dereksimon3437]

I think the tank idea would look awesome!

[@gordmacdonald9711]

A spectacular gift! "Making due" is essential to succeeding at professions that require manual skill. I think if someone persists, at some point someone else recognises and appreciates the effort with a gift like the one you got. ( Yes, I know The company is marketing). This happened to me this year. These tools/gifts plant our feet and make us look back and forward with more certainty and pride that were on the right track.

[@jamesgoucher862]

God bless the Hiltz crew on the build of the Hiltz truck. What an amazing piece of automotive art work.

[@tommccartney9472]

There is bodywork and there is art. You are absolutely an artist. Keep up the amazing creativity.

[@DroTrebor]

Loving the hood and the added piece on the bottom of the side panels.

[@michaelgray8986]

Love watching Chad! I've learned a lot from you so I'm going to repair my '94 F150 4x4 myself. I've already got a new front cap for it and I'm going to do everything from the body work to paint! Gotta start somewhere... Thanks for showing everything in detail, you don't know how much it helps! Hi Joline, keep him in line🤣

[@A-BONEpickup]

bad chad, the billy idol of custom cars, great work keep it up

[@regharnish202]

You make shaping the metal look easy , keep up the good work.

[@fredricandersson7161]

Exciting as usual to follow your progress day by day you make it look so easy.

[@RaverRst]

Looks so much better with the lower line 👌👍

[@davidzalik4574]

It is not an old car, it is an art project. Describes old cars perfectly. Art in each owners eyes.

[@MIKEH.777]

The ground effect is looking fantastic, I love how it gives a way better look to the bottom of the Mercury. The way you have the hood cut gives a better outlook of the grill and that is going to be a beautiful grill .keep up the great work and God Bless the both of you. Jolene your videoing is 2nd to none your work is outstanding. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

[@jerryvikla3925]

I love the idea of the tank with steps. When you look at semi tractors, the steps are directly below the door. Maybe the tank should be moved below the door instead of to the rear? Or perhaps have two tanks, one below and one where you held it in the video. However you decide, I know it will look and function great cause you are a genius!

[@beverlyhuff4277]

Watching from Rocky Ridge, Maryland Like the work keep up with the good work

[@kenphillips1491]

Love this build. And I love how you talk your way through the build.

Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two

[@herbertvestal9593]

i enjoy watching you every day build the cab over

[@ronaldplatts2011]

Using the valance to make the cabover look lower is a great idea, looking terrific.

[@ate-updesigns9186]

You have such a great philosophy of life and things....very good speaker buddy...inspiring...appreciate the learning experience on everything 👏😀👌

[@shotfirer-yf7ub]

Always makes my mornings a bit better watching you guys before work Keep up the greatness 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 🇦🇺

[@herraman2244]

The one thing that would make this build even better - A big bad ass blower, with a set of stainless headers. There's more than enough room in that engine compartment for that. I'm lovin this build.

[@davehickey4936]

You work so hard I get tired just watching you. Keep up the amazing show!

[@roymazac2532]

Glad to see your thinking. I like where you are going with it

[@kristiankristiansen133]

Good job again. Been split all along in regards to the “trunk”. For some reason I think the bed is too short. But also think it would be a shame to remove it. Not sure if it’s possible but how about “reversing” the “arse end” 🤓 of the trunk. Only an idea - it’s your truck after all🦾🦾

[@ronnielester2933]

Great work Mr.Chad! I was watching you on the fender and thought how it would look with the bright work from a 53,54,55 Ford,Merc. I can't remember the models but right were your working they had this kick ass bright work that fit just about were your working. Just tossing you a ideal you might have a look at, I know you could make it yourself and put a little bad Chad twist on it.

[@colleenbulger5350]

Chad your tenacity is inspiring. Thanks!

[@jlefoote4774]

Amazing build. Good job.

[@ronaldschmuck3901]

The beast is shaping up, enjoy your day, God bless.

[@alexandriawootton1742]

I am really liking how your tying in the chev truck panels on the bottom, looking great. The tank mounted on the side may take away from all the beautiful rolling body lines you’ve been creating this whole time. I’d keep the tank in the rear and just have a frenched in step instead.

[@mattsbidnuz11]

Excited to see the body work on this to see it all in one color and see it smoothed out. I can see the frenched fuel tank steps. Cool idea

[@garyp1533]

The ground effect lower valance looks great, going to love the hood also

[@percylangille4220]

Chad you are an inspiration to others as Gene Winfield was to you. Your creations are masterpieces. Keep up the good work. Keep on, keeping on.

Enjoying The Build

[@garyhewett5720]

Good lesson to not let people get to you. You'll know when the welding is done when the muddling begins and for sure when the painting is done. Frenching the steps in i think would be cool. even two of those tanks wouldn't hold enough gas to get to town. just my opinion it's your build. great production!

Awesome job guys!

[@man_on_wheels]

Making it look easy! Keep it up you two.

[@kevinfox6220]

You just made that hood look super cool.

[@allanimalstaxi]

I know you are going to build it your way, but I would recess two 9" wide steps on top of each other spaced evenly about and add a long vertical chrome hand rail like on semi-trucks. This would make it easer and more comfortable for every one getting in and out. Just look at some semi-truck under their doors for ideas. Great show, keep them coming.

[@millboss1372]

Loving the hood!
