Modifying The Fuel Tank I built Last Week. 40 Chevy Coupe

Last week I built a gas tank but didn't like how it fit in the car so I decided to modify it.

Hey Chad. Greetings from Australia. Please remember to put some rubber isolators between the tank and the straps. This is a good budget build and love your “work with what I have got” attitude.

[@amerritt261]

A bicycle tube will do the trick.

[@waynecap5960]

Thank you Chad for taking us along with you step by step. So happy you have a great shop to work in. No weather worries 👍🥶🥵

[@glentucker4250]

It still blows my mind that these businesses coups had the gas tank in the back seat area. Great progress! Looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you Mr Chad and God bless!

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

I kept stuff too, but when i needed it, i couldn't find it. I'd go to town to get it, and then sometime down the road, I'd accidentally find it.

[@HI74IH]

Ditto hord stuff and still have to run to town. Story of my life. Hi from Livermore California

[@waynedavis7245]

Same here . Lol

[@jamesmccoy6901]

Just keep plugging along old buddy then one day you set down in that seat and enjoy i appreciate you and see you on next one

[@stevenmenary2862]

Thank you for mentioning my name and where I live on the back woods bug spray. I have sent many packages to .my favorite KZbin channels and never an acknowledgement but somehow I knew you would. Even pronounced my last name correctly which so many don't. You not only made my day, but an entire week. Will send link to all my friends to watch. You just made me celrebrity. Many thanks Chad!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Preshate it! 👍

[@barryruss4042]

Thanks Chad doesn’t matter whether it takes week after week after week for the build absolutely enjoying every moment, thank you for the effort you put in I’m sure everyone appreciates what you doing , take care from little old New Zealand 👍👍

[@leekidwell8795]

Like my granddad use to say. We’ll do something, even if it’s wrong. 😂 The old fourty is coming along nice. Thanks for all the videos.

[@stuartfletcher5407]

Once again Chad faces the problems of the garage , and in no time has them under his control . I cant get enough of this show , I'm always ready for more. Thank you for a most entertaining show which is always straight up and honest . Waiting !!! . Stuart in Canada ..

Bout fell off the chair when you disposed of the defective tool😅😅

Chinese junk!

[@rickydonahue1586]

You grab a holt of one piece of hot steel plate yell it's HOT and chuck it then you grabbed the other one two seconds later!!! I was rolling! 😂😂😂 I would have done the exact same thing myself!😂

[@1776_Garage]

A holt. That's funny! Lol

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I'm kinda dumb if you ain't figured it out yet! 🤣

[@1776_Garage]

@@ThisNThatGarage You're not dumb, you just make bad decisions sometimes like the rest of us! Lol

If those fender braces get bent. The whole fenders gone!! lol

[@stephenmalone1673]

You always leave me with a smile. Thanks, Chad.

[@scottmmagby7057]

Hey Mr. Chad, Enjoyed another video. Boy-O-Boy there is a lot of details to think about when fixin' up an old car. But you are making it interesting when you have to make your parts and pieces!! Great job!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Sure is!

[@rickgaine3476]

@@ThisNThatGarage Stacy David is building the same car on his show. I would really like to see him have to accomplish the same task working in the same conditions you are. I think he could learn a lot from you. Even though he's a famous television star. his 1940 business coupe is getting an entirely different frame suspension and engine donated by sponsors. Would probably be an easy job for anybody if all that stuff or just give them to you

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 if it's not one thing it's another, I'm glad you sorted out the leaking carburetor, now on to that damn power steering. You're doing a great job. Keep plugging away buddy, your father would be proud. 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@walterrobbins4470]

I think I would have used some thin rubber between the tank straps and the tank. Like maybe bicycle inner tube to make it snug and reduce vibration.

[@davidwitts3887]

That plasma cutter is useful, much better than a large hacksaw or disc wheel, I am sure I could make large amounts of scrap with one of those! Thanks for the excellent video

[@georgejude3827]

Enjoyed the video your desire to get things done is a inspiration

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@teresawoodruff1170]

Chad. Let this old fella give you a little suggestion. I went to harbor freight and bought me one of those two inch magnet and bolted it to the ground on my welder. It works great. Sure beats the clamp. For me anyway 😊

[@walterrobbins4470]

Good work on blacksmithing the fender braces

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Thanks, Chad. Every step is a step forward. Central California watching

[@bigfoot6311]

Thanks Chad for your hard work and posting the videos. I would like to see more videos and more of the "Extra". Hope your knee is better and keep up the good work.

[@dwaynecoomber6610]

Great work 👏 well done .. loving the build .. cant wait to see it going down the road.

[@richardcobb2852]

I like Chad’s style on fabrications. I even learn a few things here. I might be wrong, but l think we’re from the same engineering school. 👍👍

[@baxojayz]

Nice progress! Getting closer to getting her on the road!

[@daleh645]

Another awesome video! 💪🏼 Maybe put some old inner tube rubber between the gas tank and the hold down straps for wear and noise reduction? 🐿️ God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇮🇱

[@jasonhagan3170]

I’m enjoying the series on the 40 god bless

[@rudyrivera7426]

You did good this week! Chad, Thanks for sharing! 👌👍

[@josephcarino5829]

I put a q tip in my drill. Put any kind of metal polish on it. And spin it up. Even on new seats

[@ShilohShepheard]

The 40 is really coming along well. Fuel tank looks great. It is a shame that power steering shaft started leaking.. Hopeful it won't be a big deal... Thanks for another entertaining/educational video.

[@user-lr8ch1og6z]

Keep plugging along Chad! I like your fabrication skills.

[@paulweigle6872]

Progress is progress, no matter the amount. Great video.

[@jangles1839]

Hey hey y'all! Hope everyone's doing well and having a great week! Mr Chad it's awesome how the ol' '40 is coming along! Although it's turned into 700 gazillion parts with probably at least a bazillion or more to come, I've been enjoying every one & certainly look forward to seeing what's next! Remember to like and share to help out Mr Chad's channel so he can keep bringing us these wonderful videos! Much love guys! 💙🙏🏼 Lil Milwaukee vacuum came in clutch I noticed 😂 You know you've made an impact on people when they send you things that they believe will help you with your everyday journey with your work here (and beyond)! 💙💙💙 Also, just outta my own curiosity, if you were to make both fender brackets the same length, would that not push the passenger side out to where it's even on both sides? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@phila3543]

Ooo the progress on this coupe is fricking awesome .

[@brianhayes7618]

Hey Chad always entertaining to see you at work no matter what your working on it is always fun and educational. Keep them coming my friend

Preshate it. 👍

[@laurensmith1828]

Im always keeping stuff myself in fact i got a pegboard wall about 10ft by 15 ft in my shop that i hang stuff up on. i call it my hardware store . It comes in real handy when looking for odds and ends.

[@user-rw8fy4cf3d]

Yeah bet your liken the new shop were you can fine handy work! You never siese to amaze me your ability to tackle any job! Great Video as always!

[@ron19199]

Hi Chad, another good show I really enjoy your videos. I look forward to the next one, maybe this spring I can some to your shop and be your handy dandy assistance. I would a day out from my wood shop.

[@corydriver7634]

Glad you got the carb figured out, seems like it’s always the 10 cent part that’ll shut you down.

[@tobyhamblin1340]

watching you bend the straps it reminded me of a homemade portable metal brake my dad built me that I use on material up to 10 gauge, I can showcase it if you are interested as it takes up nearly no space (for a metal brake).

[@keithhughes2936]

It's oming along 👍

[@geoffreymills9932]

I think that carb kept you busy enough so I'd call it progress, just hope you remember to vent that gas tank so it doesn't vapor lock on ya, a simple tube from the top of the tank to the filler neck works pretty good but that rack leak is a first for me, I've never seen that before, I knew I go manual for a reason and that just reminded me why, nice work Chad I dig it

[@surindersandhi3924]

I hate cheap Chinese tools! My wife used to buy them for me until she seen me throw them with a beautiful curve right out the shop! She only buys the good tools from then on another great video thanks

[@user-mi2wg9sh6c]

chad ive had plenty of exon valdeze oil consumers. one was my brother had a 1980 caddy sedan deville , it burned more oil than gas the car was light mettalic blue and the blue smoke was the same color as the car.that gas tank is increadible!awesome i think you need a bigger toolbox that flaring tool set and pipe expander set are gold in my book. cant wait to see you a rollin down the road with it. awesome,awesome!!

It's early 2024 and already we have good blooper candidates 🤣. 🔩 Bolt bin is a luxury 👍🏻 Shore is. Augh-Yeh Thanx for the video‼

Hey Chad. Your forgetting one thing on that gas tank - Vent Pipe outlet. Might spit back at you at the fill station.

[@josephegon6058]

Should have used your new pipe expanding tool on the gas filler neck. Lol

[@DenisEdwards-ls2de]

Mr Chad. I really think you should have paid for a racing gas tank with bladder. You get side swiped with that tank. Those welds will pop and your car will be a molotov cocktail. Great engineering you did. Do the rite thing buy a safety tank. Good luck. Thanks for video weekly. 👍💪

[@zimmlock]

Absolutly enjoyed and enjoy your videos Chad, there is something i am concerned about and thats is your health, may i advice you to use some kind of ventilation in your shop. You heat it by burning diesel or petroleum and all the exhaust fumes stay in your shop, also using the plasma cutter aint that good to aspirate the fumes as well. Best regards from Belgium.

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Good Job ! Chad Get Er Done / Use what ya got !

Yup!!

[@charlielowe5258]

Awesome 😎👍👍👍

[@nique1944]

There's a '39 Chevrolet "El Camino" on display sometimes at the Savoy Museum in Cartersville. I want to look for the tank the next time I see it. I assumed th tank was under the car/truck. I wonder if Ralph Nader would have approved of tanks being located in truck and car cabins. 😂
