More controversy... fabricating side mounts for 1936 Hudson Terraplane

It's been decided... we want to add dual side mounts on the front fenders to give the car more style and class. Since the doors are suicide style we need to be strategic in where we cut the hole in the fender so that the door is still able to function. Like always - there's no set plan, just go with the flow 🛠

Chad does your mind get any rest ? Your mind is crazy artistic ! This concept of that Hudson now more appealing to the world ! Jolene thanks for your time and effort on filming editing and all sorts of work ! Chad couldn't do this without you you give him balance !Thumbs-up Jolene and Chad great build and content !

[@marianovon]

Hi there, I'm a Carpentier but once in a while i do work with metal and what really worked for me it's first paint the metal with muriatic acid, let It for a few minutes, then paint it with hydrogen peroxide, the Rust Will show immediately. Me and my son watch the show every day for a long time. You guys aré the real deal. Cheers from Patagonia Argentina.

Man I love your content, The Chat though has too much negativity. You would think by now that the followers would know that you are a professional and can think things through on the fly. You are an inspiration to all of us who watch to learn new things. I am 71 and still building Rods . Plan on starting another this spring if the wife don't object to much. You and Jolene are the best, keep it up and never give up. As always great camera work Jolene. I hope Chad finishes the Bugatti soon, you deserve it. Thanks for reading.

[@Domtune89]

Hey Chad, really like your work. I recently painted a bike tank to look old and used. If you don't mind, I would like to give you a tip for worn, distressed patina paint. Use some carpet foam cleaner to cover a few spots before painting. After that wipe it away and take some rags or towels soaked in vinegar. Put some salt over a few spots, cover them with the vinegar towels and let them sit for a couple of hours to days. When the rust is to your liking, take a brass or steel brush and have some fun in different spots. Randomly Cover it with some carpet cleaner foam and paint again. The finished piece will look distressed. Keep that artistic work going. Best regards from Germany. Have a good one 🤙🏼

[@samadamms3432]

Would have been better to make a tire sized cardboard circle, and trim that to the profile of the fender. You’d get to see exactly where the slot should be positioned before cutting.

[@garryleeworthy3004]

Keep in mind that the tire will be wider when mounted and inflated. It's going to look fantastic!

[@brettwilkinson8904]

You're right.

[@messylaura]

there was a time when they were just the tires without being mounted on a rim, probably going back a decade or two from this cars life

[@gillesdessureault2210]

that's exactly what i was thinking too

[@davidhalldavidray6928]

Chad you can always sand the paint by hand with 400 to 600 grit until you get back to the floor then add the vinager to get the rusty look you are looking for!! 🥹😁👍

[@i8ntnuts]

Perfect the air will hold the tire in place. Or maybe just tack weld the wheel to the fender.

[@johnnytruck2009]

😂 I’m afraid to cut it as I grab the cutter. I know I will never be able to find a fender like this…. Knowing he can build one out of scrap metal. Brilliant creative craftsmanship!

[@ricksimmons347]

Hey Chad you would really enjoy a big bench and especially if it was level for welding. I use a 8 ft by 16 ft bench for upholstery . You will wonder why you waited so long to build it . Rick

[@brewstar58]

& his back will thank him later in life

[@robertdehaes7572]

The trim piece you had taped to the fender skirts looked nice. Maybe the round feature of it could be in line with center of tire under the skirt. Just to break up the large surface and add a little bling.

[@ddocderry]

Oh, this is a nice touch, Chad & Jolene. Might want to mount & inflate the tire before buttoning it up and welding the inside pan. It will be a little wider, yes? This will look beautiful!

[@robertgriffin7569]

Going to be the nicest Hudson 4 door terraplane out there... IMHO..already is stylistically. Everyone has an opinion, myself included. However, if you listened to what the chopnotzi,s suggest, it wouldn,t exist at all. Thank,s for the smiles, chadnjo...keep up the good work..l look forward to your vids everyday. Thanx again.

[@leblanckerry4826]

The color match looks good to me Chad, not bad for a fabricator 😂 But I’m half blind so🤷🏻‍♂️ Great job as always Jolene putting us right there 👍 Hey Fina❣️

[@MartyZinNYC]

Boy would that car look unbelievable if the whole car was painted that color. MartyZ in NYC

[@joshuabuxton7502]

Hey Chad, a good reference to go by is, always add about 1in for the sake of a tire on a wheel with air..Beautiful work!! I'm getting ready to start working on a 65 Buick Skylark 2dr hdtp sports coupe.. Going with a blown big block buick on 29-10.50r15s. Custom paint and audio. Haven't decided yet on suspension kit. But it is definitely going to be a sweet machine when it gets done..

[@sundown...7718]

Looks good Chad just go over the paint with a scotch pad and dull it down and it will look perfect !

[@jimcoplan9502]

Interesting mod that should work. GO for it Chad. Jolene continues to amaze with the camera.

[@hyundia1]

Chad your vision of this car is on going .your talent is tremendous.your explanation of everything you do is spot on .the love of what you do is insurmountable can't wait to see this going down the road one day .and Jolene thank you for all your work videoing and editing the transition of this beautiful Hudson Terraplane watching your every move from eastern ontario

[@cristianabarsuglia629]

Normally, the tops of the sidemounts should be no higher than the beltline mouldings. If you make them level with the top of the hood, they will be too high and will look odd.

[@JoshB-jt7xe]

That's the problem with the Terraplane compared to the Hudson Eight, the sidemounts were too high due to the shorter front guards not leaving space for the sidemounts to be mounted lower down because they'd get too close to the front tire.

[@cristianabarsuglia629]

@@JoshB-jt7xe In the '30s, sidemounts, and even most rear mounted spares, were under metal coverings that were painted body color. What if Chad got a set of old covers, cut them down some so there would be adequate clearance, and just mounted them as dummy sidemounts?

[@JoshB-jt7xe]

@@cristianabarsuglia629 that is s great idea actually.

[@dennisrockwell7834]

CHAD YOU ARE A ARTIST, CARS ARE YOUR CANVAS, AND EVERYTHING YOU DO TURNS OUT FANTASTIC! THANK YOU AND THE CAMERA PERSON FOR POSTING SUCH WONDERFUL THINGS! A PERSON COULD LEARN A LOT FROM JUST WATCHING YOU BOTH! THANKS AGAIN

[@genesimons8368]

Always nice to see Mz Jolene's handiwork while filming. She inserted the photo showing the side mounted tire at just the right moment. She has become such a consummate pro. Kudos, Mz Jolene!

[@markmckeeman223]

Side mount would look better a little lower in the fender. Fender well will need to be wider to fit the inflated tire. Nothing has been so badly altered that it can't be "fixed." If you don't like the look that's fine. Remember they are out there making content for folks to enjoy. If you're really that offended then turn off the computer and go out to the shop and work on your own car. As always, Jolene is doing an awesome job on the camera.

[@bruceg7204]

That tire will get a little bigger when you put it on the rim and put some air in it, don’t make the hole to tight, width wise

[@bolwarracolt1]

As your harshest judge Chad 😉 I can see where your going with this.. I like it . Must look at you coming back to OZ and doing some KZbin builds. Costings wages would need to be looked at. But I know you have a massive Aussie fan base that would support it Dreamtime stuff. This project started with... What the hell is Chad doing... Now it looks the goods... Cheers. Dougo.

[@bondseye66]

Hey chad, for the vinegar next time, use a spray bottlle, put on enough to wet it, let that dry, and repeat til ya get the desired effect. And maybe steel wool or scotch brite, you could dull that skirt, and then polish it more to remove whatever paint ya want, to make the more realistic edge and the spray bottle the vinegar there. dig the skirt shape tho, after ya put on the tails, to match the body lines.

[@kevinfonseca3917]

There shouldn’t be any controversy because it becomes to them. They are entitled to do what makes them happy. Watch if you like their creativity, don’t watch if you don’t. It is that simple people.

[@chrisquinlan3012]

Chad been watching this progress and was wondering whats next!! I was imagining this and moving the headlamps into the guards too but kept my yap shut coz theres a lot more perspiration than inspiration and you got both in spades mate

[@brianjohnston5139]

sand the skirt in places,,, brush the bare metal with MURIATIC ACID,, rinse with water after 5-10 minutes and it'll rust... i do hardware for my old motorcycles when i want old patina.. good work both you and jolene

[@vonbuzz9009]

I painted some flames with muratic acid on a bare metal Caddy hood a few years ago ,, it was cool ....

[@kent-kt6fw]

Need to mount & air up tire. It will get wider.also need to drop it down where the top of the tire is even with TOP of hood side panel. Everyone to their own ideas though. You & Jolene do great work.

[@garyruark9506]

The color of the Hudson was called Ocean Blue. You can find the different color mix info on the color charts. Most Hudsons used 4 different color paints to make the final color including Ocean Blue. Sidemounts are a great addition. Most sidemounts sit with the exposed part of the wheel a few inches above the centerline of the wheel. So a little less than half the wheel is inside the fender but it depends on how deep the fender is. Also to achieve this they mount them close to the door opening so door can still open and have them sit back in fender to stay clear of front wheels. Your opening width is not enough to clear the tire with air in it.

[@ampatriot]

Freakin Mr. Wizard over here.

[@TCW-hw6iw]

Spare wheel looks great. I'm a big fan of a balanced look, a spare on each fender is a going to look wonderful. I know it was an optical illusion, but the car looked stretched when you dropped the tire in the pocket. Going to be a high rollers ride for sure. Move over Bonnie and Clyde, Jolene and Chad are taking over.

[@jeffreyprineschoolproject2921]

Chad, don't forget the drill weep holes in the spare tire holder. And if you spot Prime the welds with your finger where you did the chop and some of the paint will stay on with the primer and the other paint will Rust in the other areas where there will be bare metal. If you put the blue over that where you primed it the paint will stay and where you don't prime it it will Rust that way it won't look like line of rust where you chopped it. You're doing a great job just my suggestion. You and Jolene go

[@therealbikerman]

it's your car does as you like

[@jamesray3292]

Won't it have to be a little wider after the tire is mounted and aired up?

[@thaisnowman1]

Don’t forget a drain-hole at the bottom of the tire mount for rain and washing…

Still waiting to see the 10,000 dollar windshield in place😊

You can buy new windshield rubber for these cars. Or why not just glue some clear plastic in place? It would look like a windshield

[@ashleydubbeld9236]

I am not a big fan of fender skirts on from 30’s and 40s cars like this, but can you put the paint on?

[@Billyblueheart]

I think this is my favorite project so far. I know it’s a four door, but I think it looks better long and low.

[@camsherro3097]

I think it's just a little too high still, especially considering this old beauty's got a chopped roof. If the top of the tyre was level with the beltline or mid-way between the belt line and the top of the bonnet (hood) it would be far more pleasing to the eye and look like it's going fast while sitting still :P Love ya work still Chad, keep up the great cinematography Jolene 11/10 :P

[@tonymoat9825]

Looking to do side mounts to my MK3 Humber Super Snipe, watching this one very closely, good on you for giving it a go. As for adding patina I always put yogurt on bare metal to make it rust faster.

[@markevans7217]

Looking great Chad, I think if you use a scotch brite pad on your skirts it would dull them and blend the new paint, in fact i would do the whole car and flat clear it, i also think if you add peroxide to the vinegar it will rust like now, good luck..

[@PaulEglinton]

Don't forget to factor in the wheel in full lock, plus articulation of the suspention in those positions.

[@stephenbonin3049]

The rim of the spare wheel should be almost slightly imbedded in the fender.

[@hervetherrien6012]

Would love to see Chad starting the paint job Bugatti!

[@DonPerry-nx4sr]

same here!! although I must admit to enjoying this build as it progresses...we just have to be patient😂😂

Very interesting video. Throw some dirt on the fender skirts and they will be a better match to rest of the car that is dirty. They are way to shiny seeing them on the video.

[@earlsmithson4749]

Chad, I got to give it to you. When you said skirts I thought “uck” but boy does it give that old gal class. The fender mounts are going to an even higher level. Enjoy watching you create.

great job as always Chad, could you not leave then long n put like a buckle laches on them to attach another one to go over the top to incase the hole wheel like in the picture?

[@crushingvanessa3277]

The aerodynamics of these cars amaze me. I'd like to see wind tunnel comparins with today's cars. Take a car like this, give it a good drive train, seatbelts and drive it daily.

[@stevenmiller8986]

I would add the spare on one side only... at least for a time. You can always add a second later down the road.

[@solohour]

Agreed

[@i8ntnuts]

Or maybe add a spare on the trunk lid? And a roof rack! Dual antennas for sure. And some sort of way cool homemade hood ornament!

[@peterrobins3708]

Controversy? Good go for it, its art, sometimes controversy happens. Keep on keeping on. If we're really honest the only wrong is doing nothing Yes, they no longer make 1936 Hudsons anymore but he great news is... It's a car, its made of steel & paint. They still make that stuff. 20 years time Chad & Joelene might want to radically change the car & new art starts again. Go for it, go hard. Bring the art because I wouldn't want you to do it my way, I'd be bored. I want to see how other people do things, what styles they like or what style they've developed. Y'know if you're not sure how to do it, it just means doing it right takes a little longer & who hasn't enjoyed trying, re-trying, learning & eventually creating something you really really like, you look at yourself & go wow, that worked out ok. Think its wise to listen to critics for technical advice but otherwise remember... NO ONE EVER ERECTED A STATUE TO A CRICTIC (and with that I'm going to think up with a statue to a critic might look like hahaha) Let the painter paint, its his canvas

[@chriswilgus4752]

Idk about the spares. One on the back maybey. Too late now.

[@robertdehaes7572]

Spare tire inflation may make tire slightly wider. Be careful!

[@midgetrace]

I like the skirts, patina painted on is OK too, but living in the Rust Belt, I hate rust, real rust, I spend my whole life removing rust I would not have subjected those nice skirts to the elements. I get itchy every time we see the Bugatti outside rusting up again. I wanted to see something put on the 4 door pick up conversion.

[@Zen-sl7de]

Car is looking good. Reminds me of a car you would see in an old time movie. One with a tuxedo and a woman with one of those cigarette’s with the holder thing. Good looking car man.

[@DougJarvis-xb5ed]

Just watched you cutting the hole in the fender for the spare. I noticed the tire seems to be a tight fit. If you mount it on a rim won't the tire be a little wider when you air it up making harder to place in the hole. Hope this was a helpful comment.

[@rosspage6097]

If you put an straight edge across from the front of the cut to the back of the cut and measure at the center of the arch of the fender you get the height of the arch.

[@ate-updesigns9186]

This is goin to be a cruiser....definitely liking it better and better...its the total package....looks good Chad and Jolene..cya tomorrow 👍

[@warlockborn1031]

Years back when i painted, I would but a drop or two of gasoline in my paint to flatten out the color, now i understand they make flatteners to dull up the paint a bit. To get a nice wear on the paint, tie the shirt to a ATV or some field vehicle and drag it around for a bit in the grass and dirt!

[@craigmensforth1073]

When you wanted to clamp the fender to the tire you should consider using a tie down strap around the tire, over the fender end to end, to hold it down for you. Just a thought

[@d.p.9005]

Mr Bad Chad ,how l which you would paint this beautiful classic car . That would really bring out its awesome Beauty, and the fender skirts looks great,thanks

[@harmankardon478]

Lightly Mist the skirts with some matt black and then wipe it with some rags before it dries... it will blend the fresh paint in with the gritty look of the rest of the car.

[@shirmike]

I think you were right when you said it needs to come a bit towards the door - say an inch, or a half, off the rear of the slot would take it down and back. But what do I know !

Chad have you any thought to access to the motor? The butterfly bonnet may be a major annoyance to everyday type maintenance. Good luck. P.S. Consider fitting 52/53 Cadillac rear tailight mounts on the guards , The very small fins would suit the body style.

[@twohandsworking896]

wheel skirts look good-just a little sanding and rusting would help

Will be a very unique Hudson, don't forget once the tires is on the rim and inflated probably will grow some on the width.

[@r1lark]

Be careful Chad, the tire will change dimensions somewhat when installed on a wheel and inflated...........

[@JoshB-jt7xe]

TBH the sidemounts are a lot of work for not much of an improvement because they will sit too high due to the short guard length. That's why they went out of favour on the short bonnet cars of the late '30's. It hurt me to see you slicing up that original front guard. Sometimes less is more you know.

[@jasonwestmoreland7632]

The car looks rad as. When you started the chop I thought slam it dummy lights splats and side spares. And you do it. The car looks awesome.

[@norryone]

You could get the skirts looking a bit more weathered if you flatten down with 1200 grit . If you random very light spray with red oxide primer and then flatten that down on top of the blue you would start getting the patina. I do patina work all the time and I use a combination of different colour oversprays and just keep flattening down, comes out good, ok you are never going to recreate the original !

[@thomasaschenberg9809]

The top came out very good and I think the tire mounts are a great idea.

[@samegnn]

with a black sharpie draw the rust pattern you would like to see on the rear fender. use a hand held sandblaster on your pattern. sandblast until grey metal... no shine.... spray vinegar. this will give you the look your after.

[@tractortinkerer11]

Watching with anticipation on your vision. Going to look great when you are done. Thanks.

[@MrDaan]

Just an idea where the bare metal on the post from the chop maybe paint that gold or another color and say it is a gold ( or other color) stripe special edition that has the added features that you are doing with the car. Might be easy way around trying to match the blue paint.
