Will it run after sitting for 3 years? 1935 Hupmobile with a 392 Hemi (Bad Chad Customs TV car)

[@charlielemmons5525]

I would invest in some trickle chargers to put on the cars. That would keep the batteries charged up. Nice collection of cars. I would also try to put a dehumidifier in to keep down on the mold. Great job queen Jolene.

[@markmckeachnie4484]

I would never do that might catch fire and burn all the cars up

[@roadwarrior4813]

if there's any gas left in any of those cars after 3 years it's turned into shellac. hopefully your fuel pump diaphragms aren't hard and brittle. not trying to sound negative or like a pessimist but I've had the problem with things sitting too long.

[@rudolphbondefangerer5513]

Nah, I would place the battery in a space I could reach, and take it out when parking the car. As I do when I set cars aside for the season. I keep the batteries in the house, and no fuel in the tank. Smack.

[@arkangelnorthman]

JIMBO ROCKS!!

[@jonesc00666]

I found that you will eventually evaperate the water out after a few years using a trickle charger and ruin battery.

[@franksgarage8551]

The water on floor, from humidity i hope. De-humidifier will help. Anything is better than nothing. I run one in my garage. 40 gallons in a week. Thats an awesome building,perhaps ventilation is necessary. I felt so bad when you said there was mould on the upholstery. Spray nine, cleans very well! The digital chargers wont start if battery has zero voltage in it. One drawback of that new fangled stuff. Hate to watch you struggle, being a mechanic, wish i was there to help. I would be having fun at the same time saving you the aggrivation.

Cool car! I remember my late grandpa telling me stories, about the first car he bought as a teenager in 1930-ish. And it was a Hupmobile! His was from the early to mid 1920s, so it was a different style. Still, it's fun to see you have a Hupmobile on your content!👍👍

Dear Jolene Sorry im new to Bad Chads chanel hence why im only commenting now!! Im totally shocked and dismayed that anyone could even think anything negative about Chads work, Chad is in my book a total genius, his approach and ethics to what he does is absolutely phenomenal, he has taught me so many ways on how to approach and tackle the most difficult tasks to protection, I love what and how he does his work, its fantastic, i think the negative comments are from people that are just jealous!! So ignore them, as for Chad, wow what a dam decent man he is, hes great, and jimbo!!!:😅 i love that guy😊😊, please please do more videos with jimbo ❤ he's sooo cool, and yourself, well what can i say? You are just stunning and beautiful, just as Chad says, wish yourself, Chad and jimbo were my neighbours 😊😊 Love and be loved ❤ From Hong kong Cookie (yes im in hong kong)

[@maxyearwood1085]

Chad does a good job of designing metal but forgets the functioning and serviceability of cars. Every Auto Museum has attendants that keep the cars serviced in storage. Unused batteries go dead while sitting hooked up and in freezing conditions. I worked in a shop early on that had a Battery Charging rack where customers brought batteries to have them charged. It did it slowly to bring the gravity up gradually. Today we have Batteries that are Dry Cell acid free for longer life.

[@tinkerne-round4079]

Im still watching so I'm not sure if he has it figured out, but those smart chargers need a little feedback voltage just so they know they are hooked up. I usually hook a good battery up with jumpers to let the charger know to start.

[@tinkerne-round4079]

Yep he figured it out. Hooked the noico to give it enough to start the smart charger.

[@JohnBravo925]

Chad leaving gas ⛽️ in a car for long extended periods of time especially 3 years in the tank can cause severe problems to your engine if you try running it. Siphon the old gas out of the car and use new fuel.

[@n_y_o_o_m]

theres a chemical that fixes that.

[@JohnBravo925]

BOGUS FUEL ADDITIVES TO FIX PHASE- SEPARATED GAS If the gas has phase - separated, then it is highly unlikely that you will be able to do anything worthwhile with it. There are some bogus fuel additives out there which claim to “restore” phase - separated gasoline. But what they really mean is that they “might” help gas that may has barley started the process. This isn’t what most people think of when they decide to try something like that. They’re hoping it will magically repair fully-separated gasoline. For gasoline that is as old as you’re likely to find, there is nothing cost - effective that will restore it to its previous homogeneous condition. I hope this will detour you from trying this on your vehicle 🚗.

[@n_y_o_o_m]

@@JohnBravo925 thats not what i was talking about... the additive i was mentioning stops the seperation, or slows it for at least 5 years. i've tried and proven this with a few projects. yes, there is something to start the reversal process, but it doesnt work perfectly

[@JohnBravo925]

@@n_y_o_o_m the problem Chad is having is most or all of his cars that are in storage the fuel in those cars have already gone through the process of separation and he does not have this additive that you speak of that was put into the fuel before storage. My personal opinion I would never trust it and to be on the safe side I would not use any of that fuel that was left in that tank.

[@cathyandgreg4239]

Batteries hate long periods of no action. In the seasonal boat world we disconnect one terminal to put them to sleep mode, if the battery is good it should still have charge in the spring. However lots of times the booster pack comes into play. I use the same booster pack you have there and the same rolling charger. I find using the manual mode on the timer works quicker than the red AUTO mode. But nothing beats a fresh battery and good jump cords. Love seeing all the builds and the bikes, time to build a high and dry display case in your back field for them all, in your spare time...LOL.

The Dump Truck is the one I would have driven, or the Caddy! Hey guys, I was shortening the roll bar to fit in my 82' 911SC yesterday and the cutoff wheel burst and hit me in the right cheek just below the cheekbone and I had to go to the ER and get a few stitches. I couldn't find my faceshield so I was wearing some new goggles and it hit directly below them. I normally wear safety glass and a full faceshield for this very reason because I've had them burst in the past (although not too often). It was a 4.5" x 1/16" and burst just as I started the cut. I am a big proponent of PPE for this reason and never take the risks I took in my youth. Should have worn a welding helmet with the gate up instead of just the goggles. I have all of the Bad Chad TV Show videos and can't remember if both rear axles on the dump truck are driven.

Chad, your collection of cars is quite impressive! However, it's always a good idea to have starting fluid and or fresh gas and a new battery when trying to start a car that's been sitting for a long time. In the future, it might be good idea to add some type of fuel stabilizer to your gas tanks when storing your vehicles.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Fuel stabilizers tend to turn to jelly in ethanol. It's best to drain the tank and run the engine until the carb dries out.
