This always seems to upset people... applying plastic chrome 🙃

[@Jpearson75]

Jolene, I know your mom's spirit will forever be with you. I know she was so proud of the woman you have become. Just remember you are not alone, hold God's spirit close to your heart so he can slowy start healing you day by day. Grab on tight and hold on to those precious memories. Take each day to think of the wonderful blessing she was to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are still with you and the family. Love, from your youtube family. 🙏❤️

he is going to take it off before painting , its just a practice to try stuff and see what he likes best, and getting inspired.

​@@howquicklol I just told someone the same thing they keep saying plastic chrome looks cheep ...really go out and look at your car if it has any chrome on it it's plastic

[@KevinFiddler]

For a very easy to do and affordable cost the grill looks great, will be even better when you've got the paint on. Off course chrome would be better, but it would cost a lot more, depends what end result your after, looking good for a price or no expense spared concourse quality. Keep showing us other ways of doing things, love it

Please, watch the WHOLE VIDEO before commenting, and you would have all the answers you were critizising... And btw, it's his/their project. - If you prefer something else, why don't YOU MAKE your own project, and videos on it? 🤔

[@faucetman]

I guess Chad is just going for "the visual" as you certainly MUST paint the car/grill before you put on the final plastic chrome.

[@howquick]

Which is EXACTLY what he said

[@tomrob36]

I love how many comment without actually watching and listening to the video.

[@oldredchevy-hh6de]

Looks good. As Chad mentioned, he intends to take the chrome on the grille off later. Just a thought of mine - It might look good if he paints the entire grille a vivid contrasting color. Such as red or yellow or orange. Or maybe the color of the engine block. Then put the chrome back on the front. The color would look nice all along the insides of all the grille bars.

[@bluepov]

I had the same thought.

[@anthonymilton]

Didn't expect to see a video up, But would it of been better to put the plastic chrome on after you finished and painted the thing?????

[@johnmaclachlan6818]

Same thing I thought. Jumping the gun (imo)

[@TOMJACOBS-b2m]

Yes my thoughts to

[@VintageFordChannel]

I was hoping he'd cut the grill out and make it bolt on for maintenance and then actually get the grille chromed, for real, because it would look super sharp. Small grille probably cost $700 to chrome.

[@beekeeper213]

Yes but he's a millionaire and his channel is not to make 50k cars it's to show us the inspiring backyard hardly any tools person they can fabricate on a smaller budget and still make something kewl ..plus all the negative comments are just more revenue for the channel.. he's doing it his way and he clearly says tale what ya like and toss away what ya don't.. pretty simple if ya ask me...just saying​@@VintageFordChannel

[@mikepeters4916]

He said he was putting it on to get it right, taking it off, painting it, using what he took off to use for reference in cutting new flex for the finished grill

[@GOPETSCOOTER]

It’s his playground but I would not do this

[@RobertImhoff-qb5ol]

Looking Awesome brotha

[@howquick]

It’s pretty funny. All the whiners carrying on about the plastic chrome. It’s been used on cars since the 70’s…without issue. That grille would cost $1000+ to get chromed. It would also have to be made removable.

[@Justwatching746]

Like Chad said at the end he has ZERO into this car and its not like its going to semi he knows how to build a car from nothing .....can you do it because i can't ..if Gene Winfield likes what Chad can do that's OK in my book. Never stop doing what your doing Chad and Jolene.

[@gregpanek523]

My condolences to Jolene and you, Chad. I know her mother must have been a very special person and passed away much too young. Chad, you went over the top this time. You took that mundane front on that Volvo and turned into a graceful work of art, and those chrome strips look just fine. One alternative thing you can do is put a strip on one crossbar, leave two painted then put another chrome strip, ann the way down, a common art deco trick back in the '30s and '40s. also that hood really needs to lengthened, tapered towards the frontand brought to a point to blend with the front mods you already have done to complement your work. It can sit over the existing metal and you could just leave the latch where it is. I can't believe how graceful, low and sleak you made that stubby little car! Keep up the good work!

I like the looks of this car. If you look at some of the older cars in the must have got a lot of criticism from the public. But today, we appreciate the quickyness of the designers of the past.

Keep up the good work. We love your quickyness.

[@alpeach9480]

To Jolene, Tim, and Chad, My deepest condolences for your sad loss. Chad Hiltz, the dignity, compassion, and respect with which you delivered your little dedication to Jackie will long resonate among the family, the community, and your loyal followers. If the rest of your viewers had half the decency and humanity that you display ( daily ! ), the world would be a much happier place. Jolene McIntyre, the fortitude it must have taken for you to film today is beyond estimation. You are exceptional, and deserve all our love. Tim, Kia Kaha. ( Stay Strong !! ) Don't anyone lose sight of the fact that, whilst five weeks from diagnosis is an alarmingly short time for the family to absorb and prepare for the inevitable, it is a blessing that Jackie's suffering was not prolonged. It is soul-destroying to nurse a terminal patient to their end. BTDT. My thoughts and prayers are with you. KiaOra and Aroha.

[@jamesmcilvain7626]

Sorry for your loss. If you cut a V in the chrome you can wrap the corners so you see no cut ends.

[@JohnDisque]

This strategy is a whole like like making traditional stained glass. And to cut the lead that separates the glass these guys use what's known as a came-knife and they keep them dangerously sharp so they go through the lead like butter. Ya might want to look into it Chad. Anyway - I love your work and your creativity needs to be applauded.

Chad, Jolene, & Fina, I hope everyone is holding up okay. Chad I have a Gates hose cutter that I use to cut the molding.

Jolene I am so sorry again for the loss of your mom it is so hard to lose a parent. I will be praying for you and your family.

[@raystine1055]

How permanent is the chrome? Is it pretty sticky?

[@danielplummer6385]

If you put it on a clean surface it will not come off but eventually if it sits outside the top layer of clear plastic disintegrates in 10 years or so. They use it these days at the factory for chrome body side moldings.
