Love the Blazer, but I have to say that my heart almost stopped as I saw Crusty sliding over towards that Mustang during the mini-burnout.

[@chadsfab]

I wasn't all that excited about his choice myself.

[@darkpassenger65]

I love how precise and meticulous Chad is. No offense Paul.

[@assocrec]

ChadFab family has some Mad talent going on! You all are so meticulous in all of your projects! Can’t wait to see the finished Blazer!

[@louieleon79]

That big blazer is a gem! Worth more than money.. congrats on that build. Wish you had video of that build

[@radnamar]

I love your positive comments at the end of your videos! Thanks for sharing your talent and your family with the world! :)

Thank you!

Build finally re-started and making progress. Thanks for sharing the sage advice at the end.

I’m enjoying your channel more and more. You are obviously getting more comfortable and there is a lot of good info for those of us who have little projects of our own.

[@chadsfab]

Thank you!!

[@charlesalden9167]

Momma knows best ! The Crusty looks good with the camper shell & the rumble sounds awesome . Love CHADS saying at the end. I let my good friend fix anything that goes wrong on my 2005 Xtra ranger . I'm not good with vehicles . I'm the goffer & clean tools. Put it this way years & years ago bought valve cover & oil pan gasket everyone laughed oil all over the ground over tighted the bolts. Plus here's the best id walk into Car Quest & Robert the owner would tell everyone in the store if they see me working on any vehicle to call the cops ! Its a crime if I had a tool in my hand. So from then all my freinds say put that down. But love your knowledge & you share with your viewers. I see vehicles as art .keep on sharing prayers are always with you all

[@chadsfab]

Thank you!! I hope you still at least try to learn new things. If I can learn to be in front of a camera you can learn to fix stuff. 😉

[@edwinschlee8374]

Time to get back on Kaden's project!

[@hell_inc5853]

Every time a new video comes out you seem to loosen up more and more in front of the camera. Good work my guy. Keep up the awesome work and trust the process.

[@chadsfab]

It has been a long haul trying to get more comfortable in front of the camera. I have always been a behind the scenes kind of guy so this was almost a deal killer for me. Thanks for the kind words and the feedback.

[@timhurst1813]

100% agree. Chad a has a ton of skill and knowledge and I like that he is loosening up more. (I would be tense myself ) I do like to see the actual process of him doing the install and explanation of things as well.

[@assocrec]

Agree! Before you know it Chad will be a natural in front of the camera!

[@v.e.7236]

You have a great family unit and your demeanor/character shows through w/ your kids attitudes - or lack thereof. Kudos to Mom and Pop for a job well done. Watching Chad persevere through all of the projects he undertakes helps motivate me to get back on my restoration project - '65 Corvair. Its been over ten years for this project and lots of creative financing to collect all of the necessary parts/pieces to accomplish this job, but I feel closer to a finish date, thanks to a little good fortune in the form of a small inheritence that allowed me to get all of the engine rebuild parts I've needed. Organizing my new-to-me garage (just moved) is the next big task, then I can actually start on the Vair. Yea, me!

[@chadsfab]

Thank you for the kind words!!............now get out there and go to work!😁

[@aarongeorge3989]

Great video Chad. I remember as a kid my dad had a red 78 Chevy Blazer. Always wanted it as my first car but he didn’t let me have it. Wasn’t sure if it was cause it was his baby or that by the time I was old enough to drive it had things that needed to be fixed and since he wasn’t a mechanic or so inclined had me get a little car. Also remember after we first got it brand new, when we took it out for the first drive at the stop light I bumped the four wheel drive shifter in to neutral, and for the life of my dad and friend could workout why we couldn’t move. Ended up call the dealership to come help. Dad wasn’t impressed with me and was the last time I sat on the center consul with my swing feet. 😂 Bye the way love the orange colour.

[@chadsfab]

🤣😂🤣

[@garrydurfey9700]

Crusty didn’t even break a sweat with that burnout. Awesome……. And you have great reason to be proud Chad. Body work, at that age, and commitment, is something to be very proud of.

[@chadsfab]

Thank you!! Crusty still has a lot left, have a super conservative tune in it right now.

[@billgraves8584]

Forgot to mention you on Paul's Golden Nugget video - great job helping out there as well. This looks like a cool project!

A competent auto tech can take buckets 🪣 of parts and reassemble it almost as fast as whoever disassembled it!

Yes and no, some cars are more difficult than others. Restoring one also means cleaning all the parts and bolts which can take a ridiculous amount of time.

[@garyfrederick7607]

thats awesome. i have an 85 shortbox i sent to a shop to install a new engine and instead they installed a used one , burnt up my wiring and the half ass re-wired it. had it for 9 months. The new engine haha uses oil so i know it's not new and when i asked for the warrenty papers they said new engines don't come with one. Funny i said all GM motors new come with warranty.. so what they did was bought a new engine took the paperwork made a copy sent copy to me and sent engine back. I don't understand do people really think other people are that dumb? apparently yes. So it runs kinda. so now i use my pride and joy just in my yard because i can't trust it anywhere else. To bad you wearn't closer i would love to have you go through mine. take care Chad may the good Lord bless you in all your endeavors.

[@chadsfab]

I'm sorry you spent so much money just to have them ruin your truck.

[@chadsfab]

I know the LSs are overdone and everything has one. In this case it was the cheapest easiest way to get 400hp, get fuel injection, serpentine belt etc. The original plan was a big block but it was waaaaayyy out of Kaden's budget to put one together and fuel inject it.
