We're in a dilemma with the chopped windshield posts 🫠

The challenge of fitting the back window went better than we expected but now we need to tackle the A pillar windshield post. Bad Chad really doesn't know how he's going to go about this so it's going to be completely on the fly using the old fashioned trial and error technique 😅

Jolene is really doing Great with the Camera work and managing to get the shots that are important even with Chad occupying the Center of the Shot. Cheers to the Both of you for having such a Fluid relationship in regards to Not Overwhelming each others space...and Great Work Chad on the chop. Peace, from Oslo Norway.

Hey Chad. I want to thank you for entertaining us every day after supper like you do. Your skills for modifying cars are simply amazing. Having said this, I have to say that you look a bit tired since you came back from Australia. You're a grown man and I won't try to tell you what to do but take it from a guy who burned out more than once. It's no fun trying to climb up the hill again after you crashed.

Bad Chad what up man... saw your show last winter i believe and just happened across your youtube channel. Makes me wish i was your neighbor but my farm is in the northeast US instead. U make some beautiful stuff buddy. Was so amazed to see what u build and how u go about the process of reshaping based off rust lines. Love what u do buddy wouldnt mind talking to u one day about building me a old school truck of sorts. It would be a you style truck though not asking for something normal obviously. But u kick butt man love your work and your vision. I took welding 20 years ago in high school so someone knew how to weld on the farm and seeing u cutting and welding makes me want to find a build it myself kinda hotrod. But i know its not as easy as u make it appear. What u do is no joke.

Bad ass I am in my mid 60's and I remember in the 70' s and 80's when chopping the old sedans the roof was cut and a long section or triangular sliver was welded in so that the roof could stretch back to the origional pillars. If not sectioned and stretched, the pillars had to be cut and tipped inwards to meat the top. That also necessitated the cutting of the box section at the top so that the pillars could meet the new angle of the bottom pillar. Some guys cut the pillar off from the top at the height required and raked the whole side of the pillar out to meet the bottom so that the pillar itself was in one piece and it was then easier to mate the top and bottom because its in one piece. Needs a lot of skill to chop a top and you have it. Well done. Keep on keeping on Heads up Eyes open No fear

[@johnmcmahon3436]

Love it . I’m a carpenter and much of what you do Chad in visualizing is similar . The wind shield from face on is really Rad 😂

[@grinchthe8469]

Yo, Chad... To correct angle on front windshield pillars, you might try cutting the roof above the front doors, and make the roof longer with an extension. Insaw that on another chopped car video... 🙄🤔🤔🇨🇦🎯

[@johnboywaltonbeard4699]

Cut across the roof and move it back to align the A pillars and get some rake back in the windshield. Just my opinion.

[@tmacphd7871]

I think you should cut and section the roof. Slide the roof forward and patch in the gap left after you cut the roof. This way, you will retain the design integrity of the roof and the way in which it blends into the front window.

[@FightinAggieFarmer]

That’s how I thought he was going to do it when he first pointed out how far it was off

And how does the relevant Authority see this modification? For instance there must be less vision to see the road and traffic through this smaller and lower Windscreen?

[@danielplummer6385]

A lot of work to make the front posts fit, it does look like Chad is going to get it to work out and look decent when he is done. Jolene gave us some really good close up video so that we could really see the whole situation and understand what Chad needed to do to make things work.

[@darwinfoster7420]

Love everything Chad and Jolene watch them daily. Awesome people

[@johnwade5747]

Hey Chad, I got an idea! To find out where the lip that you’re gonna make for the bottom edge of the windshield needs to be welded on, if you were to take the split rubber and slip it over a piece of glass or metal or something perfectly flat but no wider than the windshield opening and slip it on the top lip and side lip ,then take a sharpie and mark that lip on the inside of the original one with a sharpie, against the glass or metal template,where you plan on putting the new lip, it will make up for the fact that glass won’t flex and it will take the guesswork out of keeping it flat.That way, the rubber won’t have to absorb very much imperfection, since glass can absorb any.

[@waltmarks9720]

Great job went well 😅 for not ever trying to do that before. Really great shot of you welding the gap by Jolene to watch it happen in real time and up close was great.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

I never thought he would try to approach it this way. I would have thought that cutting the roof just forward of the b-pillar and stretch it by adding a few inches so the a-pillars and the windshield matched up would be easier. There's some curvature to the roof that might be tough to match, but at least it's not anywhere near as complex as trying to reshape the entire front of it and get it to match the existing lines. But I'm sure Chad will prove his way is the right way. Also know that I'm all hot air when it comes to things like this. I know a lot, but have done little with it, so I'm not claiming to know what would actually work.

He's not arrogantly teaching or show off show n tell...he keeps pointing out he & Joelene are learning as they go & we get to go along for the ride. He's doing what he can with what he's got & seems to make silk purse outa pigs ears. Having less fear seems to be the key to learning more & more quickly. Hats off to them both.

Big fan and I know it's your car you do it how you want but the correct way would have been to cut the roof across the top and pull it forward you said you're trying to save yourself some work but I mean you just made yourself the same amount of work in my opinion of course

[@deandee8082]

section the roof and move it forward add the 2" it needs to line right up, the door cut offs from the drop would fill the door lengths, all you need is the upper sill filled, you can do that, stretch your boundaries.. I think it would have fit much better interior wise had you stretched the roof or extended it to line up the A pillars.. 6 of 1 I get that, my thought is the side door windows will roll right up if you extend the roof that 2" or so, and to dress the interior all you need to do is drop the door panels some, add a little to the upper trim, perhaps you can you cut the glass to its new shape or?
