We changed our mind on the design of the cab 😬

We decided to change the design of the c-cab itself so we're going to draw a new shape on the sheet metal, shape a piece of round rod, weld it on the side of the cab then cut out the shape... are you still following? 😬

[@redmike7911]

I agree it will make getting in and out easier. I also think the back of the door should follow the seat bar in shape. Nice work by both of you!

[@nboldrini]

I agree.

[@bob1117]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@jerryolson4870]

Red mike has a good idea about the back of the door. It would look good following the seat bar.

[@jimmykwikstop86]

I think you should cut the whole bottom off of the door it will make it look more uniform

[@williamdenny891]

It looks to small and out of of proportion to me

[@robf.3271]

Maybe follow the curve of the seat handle/bar, might be an all around better visual. Enjoying the channel, thanks.

[@somebodysomebody2055]

Looking good👍...I wonder what it would look like if the opening was curved like the metal arm rest on the seat..🤔

[@jeannettewaldron8556]

I just did the same 😊.

[@55peterf]

Great stuff chad though i feel the shape at the rear of the opening should follow the arched tubing handles,. The same radius as the tubular handles. Loving what you do👍

[@Tanman-lk1hk]

Yes, i agree.. follow the handle curve on down.

[@roywaite5793]

Door opening was a great idea. I think it needs to be a bit wider. As someone suggested, maybe follow the seat bar?

[@FixItScotty]

As you look at the seat bars, maybe it would look more natural to cut the curve by following the seat bar line downward for the foot opening. Good on you for catching this problem now rather than after the bodywork and paint.

[@SmokeyBlueDude]

Excellent suggestion. As an artist I think this would be more pleasing to the eye.

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

I think it would look cool if it followed the arm rest/arm bar around and down, but that's just me. I'm sure it will look great when you're done. 🙂

[@TCW-hw6iw]

Great progress. I agree with many others, take the line of the seat rail and cut the step thru to match. I had a thought, maybe you could weld the mounting nuts for the running boards and fender assembly right to the frame, and before you take them off, it would make the remounting process quicker, just put lock washers under the bolt heads to keep everything right and tight. Jolene is doing a great job on camera. I'm glad she asks questions and offers suggestions, it probably is what some folks are thinking. Your a good teacher Chad, keep on showing and explaining!!

[@davidhuber2679]

Why not follow where the bar by the seat, your opening would even give your more room and it would look good. But what ever you do Chad I know it will be nice! Thank you Bad Chad and Jolene.

[@ronatkinson8472]

Hey Chad please put the gas can back on driver's side it really set the truck off and was cooler than dang it

[@Fed72]

Agreed!! More original looking.

[@daveandkathynagoda6359]

I agree too

[@charlieboudreau9026]

Yes it would, the could go to passenger side, a safety concern for a real situation

[@tienierabie7127]

Agreed..

[@luisquezada6698]

[@markpaxton5739]

Watching another wonderful video from. Woodbridge Virginia, USA. Looking forward to watching the redesign of the Cab of this truck.

[@allanblundell497]

Definitely needs the seat bar to follow the opening 😅

[@bizeerog2281]

Build is coming along real nice. Just an idea on the door. A half door (nothing on the upper half) that hinges like a suicide door and the latch is on the inside would work perfectly. You would not see any door handle and it would be easy to reach in and open. Also opens up wide to easily get in.

[@charlieboudreau9026]

True I was going to comment on the same thing. L do believe that you is what you did on the Bugatti and the change.(Chad)

[@mariohernandez6521]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@davidsolloway9349]

Wow, a show everyday...you must be the hardest working team on You Tube!

[@christopherdavis5959]

Taper off / Round off the squared off area at the top of where your knee / calf will run into every time you try to get out. Make it loosely follow the shape of the seat rail.

[@jeannettewaldron8556]

I know the space is limited but I think the foot cutout would look better if curved to blend to the armrest

[@jimwhittemore1610]

Endless options, enjoy the build!

[@VWT25badvan]

Hi Chad and Queen Jolene, This pair never cease to amaze me .Chad sees it in his mind and bosh it’s done so easy. MASTER CRAFTSMAN 👍

[@randymyers3719]

I love your show and watch it every day! I normally agree and like what your doing on this truck however on the door cutout I think it looks cheap. If I have a vote…I would have liked to see you make a suicide door. I know that’s easy for me to say because in not doing the work!!! Also, something I’ve wondered from the start…..why haven’t you removed the seat?? With all the grinding I would now think it’s full of grinding and rust dust ! Also the chance of it catching fire. Keep up the good work.

[@mattcasoni]

I don’t know much about C cab trucks so I looked at everything in could online… I realized these are cool as heck but not my thing, however, I’m riveted by any fabrication. i hope this doesn’t come off negative. After looking I see it’s actually it’s own genre and people do so many cool things with them. Either way this is a great build

[@screamingscarinzi1540]

When you cut it out you should have followed the seat rail all the way down and I think it would look better. I agree with Red Mike

[@danielplummer6385]

Hi Chad & Jolene, great work both of you as always! I think that it was the right move to cut out the opening to make it easier to get in and out of the cab. I also think that it actually looks better with the cut out as well. I am looking forward to seeing the cutouts when they are completely finished too.

[@chadseibel5105]

I love this build. Have you thought of following the bar beside the seat to the floor to keep some continuity in the looks. It would use a line that the truck already has and will help with the looks of the foot opening. Again, great build.

[@jimcoplan9502]

This is a positive change Chad. Go for it. Jolene is amazing as always!

[@plank407]

Nice work. What about following the curve of the bar on the side of the seat all the way down?

[@xm1gzx286]

Everything chad does is with tools most of us have or are able to afford. Love to see you don’t need all these fancy tools to modify or fab up a car/truck the way you want it. I’ve learned so much from these videos as I’m sure others have.THANK YOU CHAD AND JOLENE for all that you do!!!

[@roypowell3450]

Defiantly far more easier to get in and out. You two will love Australia, we have just had 3 great months out there travelled the east coast to west coast, fantastic! Cheers for now (UK) . Great camera work by the way...🎥

[@allboutbirds4964]

Heh Chad, follow the line to the seat rail for your step thru. you should cap off exhaust trumpet and run an extension underneath, just a thought. Great piece of work!!! Very cool...

[@jerrylgray6500]

MAKE a litte Foot Door with Hinges

[@derangedhermit2879]

Jolene is awesome, she has often brings up the common sense and reason behind the issues that I’m also wondering about, like with her logic of welding on the other side of the round rod, from where the opening is gonna get cut out from. Jolene has seen it all enough times over, from behind the lens, she has the foresight to see around the corners to the obstacle and is usually right is on it. I watch Bad Chad so much, that I can kinda see right when he veers off and gets tangled up in the weeds and Jolene grabs the wheel…LoL, in defense of Chad’s logic and experience he took us on the more scenic route and utilized the weld braising discoloration marks on the other side as a guideline for where to make a jagged cut just out from the round rod, feathered the edges back up to the round rod cut off the welds, and repositioned them, before Chad smoothed it all out with a cut off, then a flapper wheel, welded up and ground back edge triple flip trick, and stuck a perfectly executed vaulted landing with flourish, before wrapping it all up with a bow and curtsy then dipping out real quick…LoL…8)

[@sherylcramp2326]

Nice work Chad and Jolene. Will be watching to see the finished product before having an opinion, I can see that it is easier to get in and out, however I think there will be a few hip and leg bruises with the square back. Can't wait to see you in Australia

[@robertdehaes7572]

I think this will look and work much better for people to get in and out.

[@keddy6live]

Roll the back of the cutout with the seat bar and I think it would flow well

[@melisachard6208]

The sides would look good if you exstended them up to the armrests 👍

[@Isadore123L]

Jolene does great at keeping focus and frame to see so much of Chad's technique on this. Chad walks thru an efficient way he's learned to preserve shape while adding an organic cutout shape that could have removed a serious amount of stiffness from those panels unless done right. Reminds me of a very, very old article in Hot Rod magazine where electrical conduit was used to put WIDE, outward flares on rear wheel wells of a Mustang. Love the character and practicality this puts into the cab.

[@mikestorey6242]

Here we are again in the presence of these 2 masters of what they do for us

[@dennyrichards937]

You need a pair of those auto darkening sunglasses for welding, for when your spot welding or tacking.

[@ronatkinson8472]

Can't wait to see how this thing turns out today for bad Chad God bless you and I love you

[@coilnbird7944]

No they don't both of them are brilliant at what they do I can not stop watching them

[@manuelvega8863]

I think you should design it to seat rails.Make it a little wider on top

[@fraserpewarchuk8360]

Australia is great guys. My wife and I are here from Alberta for a month . You will enjoy !!!!!

[@waltmarks9720]

Looks good 👍 another job taken care of and Jolene is on top of what's going on!!!!!

[@daveandkathynagoda6359]

I would have put the back of the opening you made to tie into the tubing on side of seat, I think it would have looked better, just my opinion.

[@robertdehaes7572]

Armrest level with hood gap would be sweet.

[@garybarry4446]

Great job Chad you have done such an excellent job on this truck , the learning for all watching is immense .

[@josemena9118]

Truck looking good you doing a great job like always....nice work you both are doing

[@robertrabhudsonhornet5869]

Your 💯% right Jolene it should be welded on the other side of the round stock and pipe next to the seat I would have had the round stock covered to that pipe it would look better and it won't scrap the back side of your lag. I would have got a towel and got it wet ring it out put it on the site to keep the sparks from starting the site on fire

[@richardalexander8264]

The camera work is outstanding. Thanks Jolene.

[@chrisdaniels9381]

Rocking and Rolling!! Looking good! Great job guys!

[@petersemple9278]

On this one, I just get the feelin' that Bad Chad is going to change it up again. I personally just think that his sense of style will overtake the ease of climbing in and out of a rarely driven rig. Was a closer call than that in my mind till we stood back and took a look. It's gonna be nice, I'm sure.

[@larryjohnson9539]

On the truck, maybe you could follow the curve on the armrest of the seat for the door opening to blend with the curve design of the cab. This is not criticism , you are a great fabricator and I am amazed at what you can do with just hand tools.

[@coilnbird7944]

That looks fantastic from inside

[@rodneynikora358]

Personally I would have flowed the shape of the arm rest looking thing, taking into account the spare wheel placement too find a u shaped form for the bottom part,

[@bobglaid3737]

Another day and another improvement Chad. I hope this makes it to paint and lettering this summer. After Jolene’s Bugatti is painted of course.

[@jerrymason6027]

Hi chad an Jolene,it’s good to be here with y’all,I enjoy what your doing with the truck,,saying hi to fina too, luv you guys,👍👍😀

[@charliewelch8592]

Thanks for another great episode ☺️👍

[@greggthompson7]

Shout out to those seat covers for not catching on fire 🔥 😂

[@randylenart9674]

I like the shifter nobs, and you're doing a good job

[@altanasilvestri8483]

I also liked the gas can on the drivers side. It looked period correct. “The reason being is”…..

[@charlielemmons5525]

Sometimes you have to improvise and adapt to make it work. This was a nice way to make it easier to get in and out of the truck. Chad and Jolene rock.

[@davidlanigan1722]

Chad and Joline have a good trip down under I will be stopping in to see you when you get back

[@scothansen9274]

Please find another place for the spare tyre. I believe this will not enhance the look of the truck you are building. great work and video content once again guys.

[@Sully_media]

What about continuing the line of the handle along it would soften the transition of the bit right by the front of the seat. Just a suggestion, I love your work, never miss a morning of Bad Chad, it's my favorite part of thd day. I am hoping to see you in Australia soon.

[@TheRatzNest]

I had the exact same thought

[@donlandenberg8126]

Nice job! Please consider putting the fuel can back on the driver's side. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jasonbarton4035]

It's all looking good!! Nice work!! 🍻

[@scottvanaken929]

I very much enjoy watching you work on your projects. It seems that you work more 'stream of consciousness' than going through the efforts of building blueprints and I very much like the results.

[@fredhoman6101]

Honestly the cut should of been little more wider don’t you think !! Don’t look right

[@pz5232]

I agree, lowing that door opening will make it easier to get in and out, and exhaust Go into the cab, may have to put some turned down exhaust pipes, looks like there is room

[@kellycraig4627]

Joline nice camera work on this one. I want to say that the way it was done I could really see what he is doing and having some experience with a angle grinders I could absolutely relate to what was happening every step of the way. Nicely done both of you

[@leonardhill1218]

Wow you can use a grinder.

[@arthurfoss3692]

way to go Chad the truck is coming out great.

[@norbertruthel8590]

[@DavidMartinez-wz7be]

Great Video and Hello from Ontario , California.... Restoring a 1954 Cadillac myself. I enjoy your videos...

[@michaelanderson3771]

Great work Chad. It might be an idea to make a small rod bending mandrel like the one Wray Schelin made for bending rod for wire bucks on his Proshaper YT. A metal block with 2 pins drilled through and then welded from rear, then put in the vice and then you have more access to bend and straighten .

[@danhanson6577]

Awesome that your change ing the door opening

[@boduke2746]

👍

[@terrykallmann4146]

Cutout makes sense but not sure if i like it. But love you and your work ethic!!!!

[@johnkranz4004]

Very nice job Chad and Jolene great Close-ups with the video very nice the back of the opening I would round it off a little bit more so you don’t get your skirt caught on it

[@jodycopeland1]

Awesome view out the windshield

[@willhorting5317]

I love the fact that the shifter knobs are pieces of antler!! Until today's video, I had not paid attention to the shifter knobs. As an outdoorsman my entire life, and someone who sometimes uses antler to create some of the custom predator calls that I sell, I think that using those antler bases as shifter knobs is extremely cool!!

[@alanwoolley4749]

It might look better if it followed the bend on the seat.

[@shaunhable]

I think that corner would look better and safer if it was a lot more rounded. I think the lines would look better too. Just a suggestion :)

[@atoyotpromod]

I like whatcha did with the step-out notch..great idea,trucks looking awesome!!! Only thing I don't think flows is the angles on the front of the REAR fender... But that's just My 2 cents..... Keep up the great vids you two!!!!!

[@smurph1153]

Not meaning it to be a sh**y comment but I think you should have left it alone. The cut out looks just like what it is, an after thought. Granted it was harder to get in and out, but your cars are art work and often times style has to take precedence over function. This truck is all about looks and I don't think it will ever be a daily driver. My opinion, put the sheet metal back in and don't cut the other side. I hope you will take a long hard look at it before going any farther. Other than this glitch the truck is looking great!!

[@davidcarroll8533]

Im glad you made the cab changes

[@JeffGlaser]

I like the openings. I was thinking you would follow the line of the side of the seat frame and continue that right into the line of the back side of the openings.

[@kenhines9604]

Back of the opening is to vertical. Needs to be rounded towards the back. Just my opinion.

[@marysambrizendine1012]

The opening are looking great Chad and Jolene 👍

[@ZefDurgen]

I would follow the line of the bar of the seat and continue the arc at the rear side of the opening, this would tie in better with the beautiful curves of the cab and hood.

[@peterhobart795]

Looking forward to Chad lifting the fenders of the truck to weld them up going to weigh a ton

[@willhorting5317]

True, but he can always use the jack to move/lower the unit... while having Jolene assist, by holding onto the front of the fender to help keep the universe balanced on the jack.

[@jeffpontius50]

That opening might be a little small for a size 13

[@tonymosca6591]

Glad to see that you’re changing the door opening. I wasn’t a big fan of the old style and thought it didn’t flow with the fenders and running board. Chad always improves the look!
