Ran into a dilemma that made Bad Chad rethink it 🤔

While applying the driveshaft/transmission panels, we ran into a dilemma... these types of situations happen when you build things. The faster you can make decisions, the faster the job will go.

Mr Chad. Love watching your videos. I have a question for you sir. Im going to be restoring my truck. Im looking at purchasing a good but budget friendly Corded DA Sander. What are your thoughts and what would you recommend.

[@carysteinbacher9796]

Chad you are so right. You are a great teacher!

[@Aaronlewis8846]

Happy birthday Doug!! The floor looks awesome Chad. Nate did an awesome job helping you bead roll them panels. This car deserves to be painted to be honest. Awesome video Jolene!!!

Crazy angle on the driveshaft

[@martinheppenstall2986]

needs to drop the rear of the gearbox down

[@user-vz7xf9iv3k]

It will change after the body weight and rest of parts are put on

[@tommywilliams5135]

Motor and trans should have been lower in the frame that drive shaft tunnel would have been lot smaller more room for seats and better drive shaft angle

[@marknilsson5782]

Its being made for Jolene to drag race it. I’ll be fine!

Would the driver line tunnel be strong enough to hold up if the drive line was to break?

Chad if you clamp a piece of square stock behind those panels you could just push it up tight weld it then take out the square stock

What a transformation it looks awesome

[@sherrygillis]

My husband and I bought the exact same model and year coupe about 33 years ago. It had a few more parts, but looked much the same. We always wondered whether we should chop it, but hesitated because we didn't know what it would like like, but now we know we will chop it because we can see exactly how it will look. We have loved every episode of the build on this car, because we can use this as a guideline to do the rebuild on our car. Hopefully we can retire out soon so we can get the time! GREAT JOB on this, Chad and Jolene.

No doubt in my mind ​@@stephenk79-rc1il

Don't listen to idiots like Stephen. It will be fine. Some people just like to pretend they know everything. If it's what you would like, chop away and enjoy

[@paulhindson7123]

Check your driveshaft angle to transmission and rear diff. Generally less than 3 degrees provides recommended angle. Just a quick check

[@virginiaman1960]

It's past checking now needs to add a CV joint to make up for the angle just like on a lifted 4x4

[@atmorebrimus4920]

Happy birthday Doug !

[@edrhodes8227]

I would get that drive line balanced

[@johnhazard5231]

Floor looks awesome

[@biglakehotrods381]

You could cut a 2 inch strip of that steel sheet, brake it at a 90 and half a 1” flange on each side. Plug weld em together and no need for square stock along that bottom between the “studs” or leave a bit of excess on that flat panel next time and bend a flange on it.

[@jake-hy2zb]

Happy Birthday, Doug. And many, many more!

[@stevenlitkey9354]

I didn’t realize that your square tube skeleton wasn’t fully welded to the frame. That it will be cut free from frame and floor will go with the body. It’s not ingenious, simply the RIGHT way to do it !!! Great job Chad 👍🏽

To be clear, love the channel, content is awesome, love Chad, the Queen and the crew. But when Chad stops welding to inspect every single individual spot weld when clearly the panel is flat it seriously screws my ocd..🤣 just weld the sucker !!! 🤣 you are good sir !!

Chad & Jolene, I hope you enjoy your Saturday evening! Chad I noticed that Rooster said the same thing as I was thinking. Which is that I would screw the top down on the console in case you need to get at the shifter without getting under the car. Also, I have already said that for Jolene's safety you should make a drive shaft hoop! It is easy for you to make in 15-20 minutes and it is made of heavier metal than the floor and it will stop the driveshaft from coming through the floor and hurting someone racing the car! Jolene great work as always, you do such a good job with the camera, the video, and the production of it all!

Yes make a driveshaft loop, sanctioned tracks say it is a must with slicks.
