Power Tour 2024 - Did We Make It All The Way????

[@timmoore7643]

Mr. Chad, I just wanted to say thank you for your video. I watch your show every week. It doesn't matter what you are doing or working on, I like it all. You keep your show clean and I can tell you are a Christian. I'm just an old man from Alabama, retired and enjoy working on old cars and trucks. I just got a 1960 Chevy C10 that has been sitting since 1998. Again, thank you and God bless.

[@ozhoo]

Your daddy would be proud and we are as well. Thanks for taking us along.

[@terrystines2536]

[@RobertMcCulloch-ww8vq]

Glad to see you made it through the whole week without anything major go wrong.

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

So glad you have arrived at this juncture! I wish nothing but love, happiness and even less aggravation to you both on this exciting event!

[@backAtCha9132]

Thanks for taking us along! Truly enjoyed cruising with you. There are no problems with old cars... just opportunities to turn wrenches.

[@MultiKelly85]

Dude is what we call a "neck-snapper". Killer torque number. I'd be tickled pink!

[@charleskeziah4810]

Glad you made through the Power Tour. See you next time.

[@JJDFN]

Ole Dude is definitely a sleeper ! Both Dude and the 40 have come a long way. I really enjoyed the bazillion videos chronicling the build of both . As always great content Chad!!!

[@NastyCustoms5150]

I don’t think I’ll ever get to do the tour of power so I thank you for taking us along in the 40! Congratulations on making it all the way that car has come along way from being half a car in the intro! Cheers and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures in the future!

[@Vikes-hw1re]

Absolutely loved being able to tag along on your journey. Thank you so much for perseverance and taking the less traveled route!

[@keysangler247]

Homemade cornbread cooking in the cast-iron skillet and another episode of “This N That Garage” I’m happy!

[@jasonstarnes3838]

Thanks for taking us along. Throughly enjoyed it. You're my #1 channel on you tube!

[@garyhewett5720]

It was amazing seeing the old 40 go from daddy's dream car to running and driving. However don't stop there. you got some bugs to workout before power tour 2025. would enjoy seeing that progress.

[@Vince-m2m]

Those are some cool old vehicles Chad,a testament to your hard work and determination

[@kande6916]

The old Fortay did a great job !!! Congrats to you completing the Powertour with literally an untested build!!

[@braddokken9191]

It was so good seeing Dude and the 40 on the road and completing Power Tour. You should be proud of yourself! We know how hard you have been working to make this happen. I hope next time you can do Power Tour with a passenger and a couple other cars/friends. Take a break and recharge the old batteries!

[@joeydube2195]

Dude looks absolutely amazing with that wheel combo!

[@chrisbayly6612]

Three cheers ,like the back roads my self great farming Country keep those City folk feed

[@82randyacman]

Heck yeah been seeing them pictures on facebook couldn’t wait. Hey Mr Chad.

[@BenjaminKuso-op6ob]

Appreciate you Chad for your patience and effort in putting this two cars back on the road and giving them a new life cheers bro 👍

[@dmindi1773]

That was a huge achievement! You are so calm when issues come up on the road. You just shake it off and push on, thats awesome! Your engines and mechanicals held up great. You deserve a vacation. Thanks!

[@AZVIDS]

What a great way to finish up these two vehicles with Power Tour and the dyno! Looking forward to some new projects👍

[@scottnyc6572]

Thoroughly enjoyed your Power Tour journey.Theres no better people than the classic car community.Im sure alot of fans recognized you.Thanks

[@matthewbrowder2625]

Sir you whooped it congrats on making it the whole way. I’ve been watching from the beginning and I appreciate all the free education you’ve provided me. I respect the backyard butchery and I’m so glad I came across your channel when searching how to use waste oil. As for the rattles in those windows, in a pinch, you can use the loop side of Velcro to pad against rattles. I’m glad the 40 treated you right because you sure treated her right. Ole Dude is a beast. As for the 6-700HP build, I’d like to see that white firebird in the background up and going. Praying for your knees brother. I’m glad life is treating you well and you’re blessed to be able to do what you love.

[@afarley17]

I'm sure that your old man is looking down with a big smile on his face. You did a great job on that old 40. A few more odds and ends taken care of and I would trust that old 40 to drive clear across the country 😎

[@murvisstribling4035]

Thanks for the ride in that beautiful country

[@stevehurley5408]

I enjoy watching you work on anything Chad! I understand about taking the break, God bless you take care of yourself. Health and safety number 1! 🙏🙏🙏

[@leekidwell8795]

Congrats on making your goal! Both vehicles look amazing. Now get some rest and take care of yourself and your homestead. We’ll still be here when you get back at it.

[@TRS-80Fanclub]

Glad to see your dad smiling with you. I know he has to be proud.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Congratulations on doing the Power Tour!

[@jangles1839]

Hey hey y'all! Prayers that everyone is doing well having a blessed week! Mr Chad so sorry you had the mishaps you encountered but happy you were able to attend Power Tour 2024! I've always loved the C2 'Vettes myself and my favorite is a '63 split-window. I understand why it was an only a one year design but boy was it cool! Til next week guys! God bless!~ Scott 💙🙏🏼

[@grinch1963]

Chad, thanks for taking all of us on one hell of a ride. I'm sure your father would be proud of you and the 40. Take care of things at the house, we'll be here when you get caught up. Thanks again !!!!

[@outandaboutadventures2123]

What a awesome tribute to your dad taking the old 40 that’s awesome

[@rudyrivera7426]

Thanks! Chad! For the ride along! Beautiful, Country! You made close to a miracle with those two! (40 and Dude) thanks again for sharing! 👌👍

[@larrylong6268]

I was way ahead of the times, 50 years ago I was driving crappy old cars before it was considered cool.

[@6t5bad]

Made your DADDY proud . Love to see you make junk back to being something really cool . Let build another one. 37:31

[@DarkFlamage]

I've never been to any of these events, mainly b/c I'm not that fond of traffic jams or huge crowds of people either. But, that's just me, how-ever, one of the other channels I susbscribe to showed how he used his GPS to search out alternate entrance/exit gates to every venue for the entire run of HRPT. He proved it worked cuz he was able to leave & return to even the most jammed up places several times while avoiding lines every time. So if you go again, that info might prove helpful to keep your rides from overheating, & be able to hit the road sooner atfer the day is done. I hope you enjoyed it, cuz I agree, you worked damn hard to drag those two rigs there! They look great.

[@cari-joanjameson2989]

You are not alone with exhaust leaks. Absolutely cannot stand them. Thanks for sharing Chad.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Hate em!

[@jeremybuchan8060]

Chad, so happy you did the tour. It was an amazing experience to watch your tour video. I'm so sorry you had the issues you had, but I know you learned from them just like the rest of us do. Pipe dream, I wish you could do power tour west this year! I'd love to meet you! Take care sir, and again thank you as always!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Maybe one day!

[@kendalledwards5546]

that old car is sharp your dad would be proud bub 👍

[@waynecap5960]

I love the big red wire nut on dude. Now, that's a good connection.😅👍🤣🫡

[@ericdanielson1138]

It was awesome seeing the 40 make the trip after being rescued from the yard. Awesome job.

[@marctorigiani4558]

The old fortay sure sounds nice Mr Chad you did an excellent job on that engine rebuild

[@geoffreymills9932]

Well that was a great ride and you know your dad is smiling from ear to ear when that 40 hit the tour, you made his dreams come true, awesome video and we understand that you need a break, till next time we'll be here

[@ricardolandsman9465]

Chad thanks for taking me an this journey loved it. From the start of the 40 till its coming home from power tour. I totally agree with you it's not where you going it's about the journey ❤

[@Darylatlarge]

Enjoyed your trip 😁 Was fun to ride along very pretty country driving.

[@DixieCustoms]

Sorry we missed meeting you while we were on The Power Tour! We saw the 40 when we were leaving the hotel parking lot! It has been a little hectic since we've been back! Hope to meet up with you at another show! Thanks for the shout out on your video!

[@terrywebb8636]

Hi Mr. Chad, you've got 2 beautiful vehicles, i wouldn't be afraid to drive either 1 on a coast to coast road trip, congratulations job well done.

[@kirk467]

I think ole dude and the 40 looked good and did pretty good too! I think you should put some of those self adhesive insulation pads on the ceiling of the 40 , that should keep it a little cooler inside the ole girl! And cut down on some of the noise a little! Thanks for sharing Chad, good video brother! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 You’ve done a great job on both vehicles, Chad! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Truckman1980]

Old dude putting out some good numbers on the dyno! I thought that rear was whining on the 40 then you mentioned it.

[@corydriver7634]

Glad you got Dude on the dyno, that was cool. Almost 480 Lbs of torque is impressive 340 hp ain’t nothin to sneeze at neither.

[@thewaterg12]

best lookig vehicle you have....... love all your videos keep them coming

[@plumbucket65]

Love the look of both vehicles

[@macho4x4warlock98]

Rochester 2V idle circuit; Common problem with that carburetor is the heat passage in the cast iron base. The base gasket to manifold is very thin around that heat passage. When you back fire (like when your ignition wire Came off the coil) it blows that gasket. Probably why you had a high idle when entering the Speedway......Fix; Fill the passage with epoxy

[@rm25088]

I love the tire and rim choice on dude. Reminds me of 70s plymouths. Great choice.

[@willhoggard645]

Good job you had a lot less problems than I thought you'd have!! I'm proud of you and Dude & the Forte!!

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

Sure is a beautiful country we've got. I'm glad you had some fun. 45-minute mark. I spoke too soon. I'll say I hope you had fun.

[@LarryBunch-q7j]

Took a 210 Mile round trip to a Car Show in Couer d'Alene Idaho this last weekend in my 1969 Olds 442. Had a great time and the Car ran flawless. Hope you can maybe take Dude next year or when you go again.

[@scottp7600]

Sweet hot rods. Nothing better

[@dannysettles5646]

Thanks for letting me ride with you on power tour I really enjoyed it ...great video

[@MidwestCowboys4life]

Appreciate ya takin us all along to Power tour with ya Chad. 4tay and Dude lookin good. Hope the knee gets better.

[@keithhughes2936]

Congratulations on making it all the way. They both looked good rolling down the road. Take care and take a couple weeks away from the camera and relax and do what you need to do. Piss on all the problem people. But over all Congratulations and good job....

[@wa6gxq]

Thanks for bringing us along! now.....get some rest!

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Glad you made it through PowerTour 2024

[@laserbeam002]

Congrats on getting these two beauties up and running. Honestly, watching you I am worn out haha. Keep up the good work.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Chad :) you got Power Tour in 1940 Chevrolet car and Dude too very nice on Dyno tester readings ! I was happy hear got reading to for each vechiles too! Hopefully you do next year too and years ahead to put something else in your vechiles too!

[@kirk467]

Going to miss you Chad but I understand that you can’t neglect your home chores brother!

[@samuellashbrook6353]

Amazing job. Seeing the ole fortay going from abandoned in the yard to what it is now has got to feel good

[@unit11k9]

I still love dude!!! Brings back so many good times with my dad and pop. My 53 was in a shop fire and I lost it. Every time I see dude takes me back,, Thak you..

[@runningfree1969]

Thanks for the ride. Great video both car's look great

[@robertbennett9243]

Chad, congrats on completing the power tour. That plaque will be in a place of honor in your garage. There is some beautiful country there. And flat. If you want to to drive some mountains, come to Oregon.

[@madmodifier]

Man, y'alls corn is tall already. Ours here in MN/WI is under a foot tall. Congrats on power tour!

[@perryrose8315]

Hey Chad, I have been a subscriber for some time now. I watched this week's power tour video and at the end you mentioned that you would like to build a 600 to 700 hp engine and see if it makes it thru power tour. Every week I see the Trans Am sitting there, which I love by the way. Why not build that engine ( the 600 to 700 hp one) and put it in the TA. Just a thought. Have a great day. Perry

[@Atomshamradio]

Your dad is waching in heaven with a big smile😊

[@garyinman5400]

I watched several folks Power Tour trips last year, yours is the only one I have seen this year and the best of all. Watching the 40 and Dude get ready has been a blast, would not have missed an episode. The way you filmed made it seen I was along for the ride LOVED it. You deserve a break so take it if you want. we will be here when you get another show on line.

[@wolfhound4010]

I think you did amazing job on both builds!!

[@rafaelramirez4371]

Glad to see you made it through Power Tour both vehicles did great 👍 👌 now you need to take a small break from everything to recover looking forward to the next video 👍

[@bobbymac1100]

Credit to you Chad well done ! Mate ok worth the journey thanks.🇦🇺😎👍

[@dannybenfield1164]

Very cool trip to the country side and Power tour I'm happy the car do great on the trip and can't wait for the next video

[@shanewhite4227]

Love the video glad you got to Go on power tour and thanks for taking us with you buddy

[@stevelangston2359]

Got a different perspective watching you! I said man you along way from home in the 40! Hats off to your skills and adventure attitude! 41:50

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for the ride brother !!

[@philiphereford5657]

Very good video. Good for you taking older vehicles and on a budget made a serviceable car.

[@rickydonahue1586]

Thank you for taking us with you sir that was fun. Hopefully some day I can do it myself! 😁

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Do it!

[@woodwerkman1]

Chad, glad you made the whole trip. As for me and mine we will never do power tour again. We only planned to do the first 2 venues.. We got to BG about 10:30 am. The line to get in was 4 miles long. My 40 was having some temp problems also. I decided to go to the hotel and try to make the midway at Nashville. Tuesday morning we joined about the front 1/3 of cars on the official route. Made it about 1 1/2 in and overheated pulled into a parking lot and watched everyone go through while the car cooled. After the last car I started to work on the fan and fixed it in about 20 mins. Tried to catch the pack and was near catching them when we took a wrong turn due to bad route directions. 18 miles round-trip detour by that time we were about 45 mins behind and still couldn't find the correct route. We were 2 1/2 hrs from home and decided to cut our losses and go home. Best drive was Hwy 70 from Nashville back home. Too many on the tour,venues too small, routes poorly planned, won't do it again.

[@jamesoliver896]

Glad you made it safe and sound . I am sure your dad was riding with you

[@titansville1]

I watch your show every episode thank you for Sherry power tour me and my son went one day at Nashville motor speedway I look for you but thanks so much

[@Phil71Monte]

Thanks for taking us along on your trip! Love the views of the country!

[@davidgardner262]

I’ve watched a lot of KZbinrs on power tour, but your video was one of the most entertaining!! Wished I could’ve rode along with ya’all! The backroads are so beautiful in different parts of the country, and maybe I’ll get lucky enough to travel them one day 👍 The Ol’ 4taaaah did your Daddy proud and was a great testament to his dream, along with your own influence!!! Love your channel and the way you look at life👍👍👍

[@amerritt261]

I wish you well and hope you have a ton of fun.

[@bigospig]

Nothing like a looooong road trip to find what needs fixin. 😁

[@AmericanmadeKustomz]

I noticed the 40 and Dude both were tracking nice so you did great job on the 4 link install. Enjoyed the video and thanks for taking us along on Power Tour. Hate that you had trouble and hope you enjoyed the adventure.

[@livinglikarockstar]

Job well done! So glad you made it, never know what tomorrow brings!

[@abelardocastillo6683]

I live in the desert, what's all that green stuff. Beautifull country

[@motorman8198]
