That Didn't Go According To Plan!!

[@Warcity777]

It takes a smart man to walk away and come back to get it done. You are one smart cookie Chad give yourself a bit more credit you really are great at what you do. With your family by your side you can accomplish anything!

[@moparman1962]

It takes a smart man to walk away, and an even smarter man to head to Cabela's during the break to pick up some pop-pops for the fam. ;)

[@rockercover]

2:49 - So accurate. Walking away and returning does wonders for some types of work.

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

Does wonders to do that. We should teach our kids to do something that simple. Instead of us getting mad and doing something ourselves.

[@kenmurray4232]

Sometimes, you need to walk away for a bit. Come back with a fresh outlook or an inspiration while you were away. Good job. Nice to hear Gonzo running again. Thanks for sharing

[@Westerntraveler]

Good to see Chad's human side. He has way more patience than I do

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

You and the kids are wiring experts..most people it just blows their minds so your way ahead in the game...great video thanks

[@wiresmith2398]

@24:37 Gonzo fires off and the closed captions says "Applause"! Yes Sir!

[@jaredgreen502]

Great job walking away & figuring it out.

[@landiesgentlemen3902]

Sweet dash. I’m always impressed with your crazy good wiring skills.

[@moparman1962]

What a great family, good friends and awesome crew these people all are. And Chad is the bedrock, he rocks.

[@charleswelch249]

I'm so amazed at how you all keep it real and when things go wrong instead of throwing a fit. You always step back and regroup and figure it out. Love you guys and your work.

[@brucejr.5833]

You think maybe you could find a small spot in the rust you could scratch Dave's name before Gonzo's finished? Prayers to Dave's family. This channel is so honest and pure that we all kind of feel like family when we watch it. And that's why we watch it.

[@papatomsthoughts]

Prayers to you all. God bless. 😢😢😢😢

[@chrisnorcross618]

Great idea.

[@johnnykirkland611]

Good morning Chad's FAB'ulous family 👍👍

[@arnildflowers1444]

Can't wait to see Gonzo painted your the go to guy for making your projects look sweet.

[@johneisnor]

Chad, you are the MAN! love how calm you are in adversity, know when to walk away, and then keep trying until you succeed. Have a good one

[@robinredman5192]

24:57 The Smith Brothers 😁(cough drop box). Thanks for your encouraging words and patience. Be blessed y'all. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

[@DennisMcGrew]

great as always like your honesty great family

[@keithalbrecht4785]

Sometimes it's best to walk away for a problem & the answer will come to you!!! Nice Job Guys!!!

[@coryorafferty2854]

Chad your family is the exact example of what I hope my family is like when the kids have grown up more !! Cheers !! You are my idol 100%

[@dalegereaux1863]

Glad to see you got that truck runnin'. Sometimes all it takes is taking a little break to figure things out. 👍

[@brucescott4753]

Back in the 80's when I had my 4X4 shop. When I got to that point. I didn't walk around the shop. I took a Dr. Pepper break. Can't remember ever having to do a double though. Keep up the good work! Vehicles and Family!

[@richis65]

Sometimes you just have to walk away, do something totally different, think it through and happiness can happen. Great project.

[@Jeff_369]

I've done that so many times. Chad is one humble guy, even when he's mad he's not annoying. :)

[@davidbreaux5989]

It's always good to know when to walk away and take your mind off the problem, then the answer will magically appear. And once again I like your tid bit of wisdom at the end. Love Gonzo, love the crew, love what you do.

[@chrischristenson4547]

It is great to see maturity of a man who knows when it's time to take a short break let his brain work come back and demonstrate he understood well done

[@joebesko5592]

glad to see you walk away from the frustration... that's usually enough to open your eyes/mind to what the problem might be. lots of things are solved easily when you do that. thanks as always for sharing your work, wisdom, and insight

[@markbutler6634]

I had the same issue just this week. I went to start a motorbike that has been sitting for a couple of years. I replaced the rear axle and rebuilt the brakes, went to start it and it would not fire. I ran the batter down twice, and then decided to let be for a couple of hours, thinking I probably flooded it. When I came back to much later it fired right up and I was down the road. I enjoy your family and friends and the light hearted shenanigans, it’s always fun and entertaining plus some of us get to learning through your experiences and knowledge.

[@michaeltablet8577]

Walking away is much cheaper than pushing your project off a cliff. Great people making excellent videos!!

[@ryanmccarthy1215]

I think chad and family need a holiday! You've been soo busy recently

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Glad you persevered, Chad. Nobody wants you to have to put Gonzo down! 😂

[@pestcontrolguys]

Love that truck! We wish we could look that good when we are mad.

[@stellarpod]

I watch all of you guys, Matt, Paul, Rory. But CHADS FAB is where I come to find some solace. You guys always work diligently, with good minds and hearts (and strong backs) to bring a project to proper fruition. It settles my soul. Don't get me wrong, as I love the unique content brought forth by everyone. But I truly enjoy the level of integrity you follks exude. And for that, I am in your debt. As always, thanks so much for sharing. Steve

[@chrisnorcross618]

I feel the same way.

[@MrJmattr3]

Calm and cool Chad! Love this channel!

[@tonypatrick9362]

The truck sounds amazing Chad

[@Krunkle78]

I just did the knock sensors on my 06 silverado and they are not fun lol I mean easy once you get half the motor torn apart haha Another great vid! and you did the right thing walking away and clearing your head! and glad you didn't have to shoot it haha !

[@user-vx4ts8vm1l]

Mountains from mohills. A daily task to learn to be gracious to be mindful., And grateful for all we can do

[@user-vx4ts8vm1l]

Love you brother

[@OpieDogie]

It’s nice to see Gonzo running again! (Even though it did try the patience a little) I would have been doing the one legged hop dance after kicking the side of it and hurting my foot. 😂 GREAT VIDEO

[@Kristof-Kay]

nice to see Gonzo coming to life at the end, i was getting worried for a minute when you said you bought some guns 🤣 thank for sharing

[@jimmypeters6171]

Love watching. Glad you didn't unload any rounds in that great old truck 😂 Keep it up!

[@johnpappas2060]

Good pursuit. Fight & don't give up. Thanks 😊

[@jefftabor595]

That truck knew to start after the trip to Cabelas.

[@chadsfab]

😂🤣😂

[@kimetherington2252]

We all have them moments when we need to walk away, regroup if you will! It can do wonders for your thought process! The end result, we got to see Gonzo fire-up! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

[@davewright6990]

22 minutes in is the only time I've ever seen a hint of frustration with Chad lol wild . He's kind of human after all 😅

[@dankreoger611]

Get one of those deck boxes, (like you keep chair cushions in), to put in back of the truck for stuff.

[@TGSamantha091]

I am reminded of when I was rebuilding the front brake caliper on my Mustang . I was struggling to get the piston in.. So my Friend/Boss/Roommate brought me a beer, and said to take a break. After taking a couple of drinks, the caliper magically went back together. LOL

[@uoobwatcher]

You guys never cease to make me smile…thanks

[@susiedoney7080]

Great job you guys, love watching

[@RachelleO-xm2ln]

C ~ You handled the situation well - stepping away for bit helped rethink things.

[@Zekespeaks]

You displayed a lesson that I learned a long time ago. When things aren't going right and you're getting frustrated, walk away and do something else for a while and the answer usually comes to you.

[@MarkoMygun]

Love that truck,good job guy's thanks for the video.

[@kennethevangelista3039]

All I can say is that chad u and family are so awesome 👌 💯💯🤙

[@stephenpoe2037]

It lives ! Thanks for sharing !

[@mickbaker2483]

Hi Chad my goodness Gonzo sounds one very mean machine, the only V8's I have heard like Gonzo have been on the track but not as strong as this, you and everyone that has worked on Gonzo have done one fantastic job and thank's for another great video.

[@richvitale3831]

Always a great day with Chad and crew.

[@robertreese5650]

Holley wants to spend quality time with you Chad!🤣

[@georgevindo]

Yes and who knows who they get to put together those harnesses.

[@skyepilotte11]

Nice work...stepping back for a new and fresh analysis of a problem...sounds really good.

[@QuidproMoto]

I so enjoy my Mondays now with the work and wit of you guys. Love it!

[@skippyjones4195]

I’m so glad you got her going love it ❤️👍☮️💪🏻✌️

[@robtalbot4594]

Gonzo is such a cool truck! Great video, keep 'em comin'!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Chad and crew for the update on Gonzo ! Chad don't feel bad for having to walk away at times ! I've had to do that a few times in my 69 years ! So far I haven't had to go buy a gun yet to something to work out ! 😅😅😅

[@mattc.310]

Flooding on setting fuel press seems to be a common issue, but I can see how it is missed when checking all the boxes on one of these computerized monsters. It's just not something one would think about. It's nice to have a project that you can take a break from to clear the brain. A great problem solving and nerve settling move that many could learn. BTW, that dash is pretty sick. It's a good look.

[@chadsfab]

Thank you!!

[@tdawgnok]

Glad you got it running!

[@jsharp1776]

Glad to see you have the ability of knowing when to take a break from your project. Sometimes it seems like nothing is working out for you. This is the time to go have some fun with someone or something else. You guys have a wonderful day! Glad to see you support the 2nd amendment too!

[@bobbywatts7472]

Chad you got good kids good and team you are truly blessed love watch your videos

[@TheGrateful55]

Love the dash! Makes it funner (sp) to drive at night. 😂

[@mikeanderson9922]

Chad it's always a pleasure to watch your videos the struggles are sometimes the pain in the behind

[@utahyork3338]

Patience - I need some of that. This is why I like being in my garage. Nice video.

[@steveclark4291]

Praying for the family and friends of the young man that passed away !

[@_Merica_USA]

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

[@moabwheeling1305]

I feel your frustration Chad . I have had to walk away from many projects when they were supposed to run but didn't .A little cool down time and walla it , they run and it was always something really dumb. I knew you would figure it out and I'm glad you didn't have to shoot it ha ha . Take care sir and catch you on your next video.

[@ElwoodHarpazo]

Just thought I'd ask buuuuut would you consider doing a segment on 'looming' a harness? I've done it a few times buuuuut im certain there is better(ie correct) way. Love the family atmosphere a setting sadly activity being lost.

[@Ralph94967]

sometimes you have to walk away and think on it before you get to the right place and the right reason chad love the vids of all you and the team Stacy your a star young lady

[@phatfarmer3248]

I would never have that exhaust set to church mode!

[@randytravis3998]

at least you did not hit the truck with a hammer .. it's good just to walk away and think ..great video 👍

[@davidjanzen1665]

Unfortunately there are those days, l wouldn't have been able to be filmed. Always great watching all of you.

[@craigschultz3409]

Good Morning Lucky 😊

[@randyc4959]

Getting (wrench throwing) mad never solved a problem for me, sometimes it created more! Some times you have to step back, acknowledge that you are missing something ... likely something obvious ... and that you are just not seeing what it is. An old Cat pony motor taught me that. It had spark, fuel, compression, but would only power on one cylinder. Turns out the rotation of the mag rotor reversed inside of the magneto. If the magneto is installed 180 degrees out and the plug wires are switched, it will run, but only on #1 cylinder. It was a problem that had haunted them for at least 5 years before I started trying to figure out what was wrong. The second lesson I learned was just because you find something a certain way, that doesn't mean it is supposed to be that way. Something to keep in mind when following someone else's work (just don't be hyper-critical over what you find. Bruising the previous mechanic's ego won't win you any favors!).

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

Another great content filled video Bish. Here is an original idea. Run all the wiring on the underside of the hood, loomed and ran with precise (like a computer board) directional and color coded design and just have all the connectors at the cowl.

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Chad you are a Very Smart Man 😮

[@StanEugene]

When you got to the point you became frustrated and decided to take a break I was amazed at the view of the snow covered mountains in the distance as you pulled from the driveway. That in itself could make the day go better, just get a lawn chair sit in the front yard and enjoy the view. Beautiful country, you are lucky to have such an incredibly view. Buying guns would be the next best thing to that incredible view. BE SAFE!

[@kjflyte5088]

Great video guys!

[@chadsfab]

Thanks for watching

[@JayJay-y4p7f]

Nice🎉😂 keep up good work

[@Bigjimcowboy]

Great video

[@littleacorn98]

Always Top Notch !✨️

[@michaeldunn150]

sounds great!!

[@danielstevens3372]

Like the extreme close up mom camera hug

[@doughaven-rf8id]

When my mechanic friend would get frustrated with a project he would take a drive to his land out of town and Punch Paper for an hour or so. Returned refreshed and ready to get after it. I find doing burnouts and donuts on the edge of town also works. (even at 70 yrs)

[@birddog435]

Seeing you struggle with a project is quite refreshing sometimes for us amateurs watching new professionals work we can fill the same way so it’s nice to know even somebody is talented as yourself has a struggle they need to step away from occasionally. What guns did you get? Winchester 300 just in case you really needed to put it down? Haha 🤣

[@rickymcintosh1152]

Great job

[@peabej]

Looks great. Where did you get the digital dash from?

[@gregb76]

Chad you needed that now maybe you can get it going.

[@sandkworkshop]

Walking away is so powerful at times.

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Great Video Chad

[@joedavis569]

I have had to walk away a few times to figure some of them out. Sounds good Chad

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Gonzo 😮❤ it

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

It’s okay Mr. Chad, sometimes you just gotta step back and take a moment to reflect and get clear. Then try it again. A clear mind is a horrible thing to waste. Knew you’d get it. God Bless you 😊

[@57WillysCJ]

Some times you just have to walk away and leave it for another day.

[@donanything6816]

Even if! 😊👍

[@josephpuou96]

Awesome job just walk away and reset relax and buy guns lol😅 I usually sit on the potty and think 😆 😮😇Aloha from Hawaii 😎🤙🏽🌴
