Dear Chad and JOLENNE. You’re videos mean so much to me! I’m happy to have you take us along with you to Australia. I just want you to know how much it means to my family as we will never afford the chance to go out of the states. I’m medically retired and my son is 36 disabled due to being hit by a car at age 6. The day before his 6th birthday. But we love to watch your show. Also you have given ne the motivation to follow my dream of learning to weld. My wife bought me a yes welder 205 for Christmas and I’ve wanted to learn my entire life. So I turned 54 this year just like you have. I’ve started to learn to weld now. And thanks to your good friend Jim I’ve even started to torch weld. I’ve learned to cut pretty good. But with watching your show it’s given me the experience to feel confident that I can learn this even at my age and with the tools I own. As we are financially limited. So thank you and your wife once again. I hope you enjoy your trip!
It's interesting to see how classic car enthusiasts are all on the same wavelength. Chad easily tunes into that, and gets some great interaction and conversations going. Thank you for giving us these peeks into the Australian side of it!
Chad & Jolene that was quite interesting especially the body man & painter he was quite the character in a nice way. He is really talented and it appears that he has a bit of the artist in him like you Chad except I believe you have quite a bit more artist in you! Jolene thank you once again for taking us along with you guys. I appreciate the fact that you spend the time to do the videos and the up loading and everything else that needs to be done to keep the channel going while traveling & probably trying to vacation at least somewhat!
Chad + Jolene, that body man deserves the Golden Beret Award for his artistry! WOW! As a former NYC resident (lived on East 94th St between 1st and 2nd Ave while working in Exhibition Design at the Metropolitan Museum of Art) the Chrysler Building is a standout favorite of mine! Great video content! Cheers!
Australian's are kings to restore cars like original it's not cheap but results are wonderful ❤😂👌😉😊🇬🇧🤴music beers home made and very sympathetic people's 🎶🍻
Just spoke with Mick on the phone chasing some parts which brought me to this video. What an understated artist & gentleman. Loved everything about this video. Awesome to see such a talented bloke with such passion & obviously more skills than you can imagine. Such an aussie way of downplaying the mad skills you have 🇦🇺
My first registered car was an EK ute with a HR disc brake front end and a HP 179 bored to 192ci with go fast goodies. That was 1976-77 and I had fun blowing off most of the V8s of the day, lol. Glad to see one getting rebuilt.
Great Vid and just awesome having no annoying background music and the way Jolene films is incredible as it makes you as the viewer feel your right next to Brad & Jolene all the time as a buddy and that is where the magic happens. I own 3 x classic 80's vintage V8 cars as a complete DIY in-house backyard guy (engine building, bodywork, painting, interior etc) and always learning more by listening to craftsmen (& women) across the globe via YT sharing ideas to allow the car scene to flourish no matter what country you live in. Awesome down under tour especially visiting these gem tucked away workshops/bodyshops is so damn cool👍
What a terrific tour with 2 talented individuals who compliment each other with the mechanical and autobody fabrication and restoration. the older gentleman is a very talented artist .
Their path is clear; success is not merely a possibility but a certainty. For in a world that often rewards artifice, they thrive as their unadulterated selves. It is not ambition that will carry them forward, but their steadfast commitment to being real and beautiful in a way that the world hungers for. Let us celebrate Chad and Jolene, these rare souls who remind us that to live honestly is to live fully. And in their journey, may we find a little of our own truth.
Chads eye for artistic things in the corner is real , the old panel beater would not have talked about his side hobbies without asking . Very talented man !
The older gentleman remind me of Gene Winfield highly talented looks like you guys are having a great time and you've done the Ocean Road with the 12 Apostles terrific cheers Goofy
those limestone close pins sculptures are cool, the 4 ft ones or he said 6ft ones that are out in the yard are usually put where they can be seen from the road and are positioned so as you drive/walk by them the holes appear closer to each other until there are full circles,,they are really cool to watch as you go by them
Tell ya what Chad, some of the very coolest people ive known in my life are the old school body guys. Your a year younger then me but ive learned so much from the old guys ive known.. like i know you have. Great video kids.
Great video Chad. These Australian guys. Really. Are amazing at there passion and level of craftsmanship. When it comes to the Australian car scene. ., I had a bit to do with them. When I owned blackrock. I didn’t get in with everyone from there. But. I did get on with most. ,, now I sold my company off. To get into a new path In life. Yea. Chad. Bet you enjoyed this trip
When I turned 16 years old in 1972, I had an orange Camaro exactly like that with the white stripes….. rolled it over in my hometown of 2900 people !!! Speed limit 25 mph….. I told the cop a dog ran out in front of me and I swerved to miss it. The cop looked at me and said., right Bruce 😬😉😝😝😝. The cop was not impressed. Either was my dad……
i forgot to say why its great..im so pleased you n chad came here this year to show us backstreet buisnesses . im glad you never showed us big time hotrodders sheds in oz,,we only loke backyard uninterresting stuff...but you made his day and thats better than cabbage roll footage we saw here in oz. when is chad going to chop the truck pkease? only askin cause i think that might go down better that the footage you fed us today lolol. on the non business front i honestly hope ypu love oz hot spots.oz is the best country in the world,,ask harris she'll agree with anyone atm lol.
im sorry for my rudeness. its simple you guys put out great videos daily.we were told chads choppin a truck in oz so i watch daily to see that. only to be shown a one person mechanical shop with couple of cars..thats not on same quality you put out daily n im dissapointed . thats why i keep on asking when the chop is staerting..with no reply that means i have to continue to watch daily n possibly watch other minor one guy shops that you think is entertaining,you must you posted it daily...for my rudeness i apologise..but not for the content.i love gud videos but not desperation ones hoping ppl will love seeing back sreet workshops.
ill just wait over at Ian Rousells videos untill chads chop comes up n ill catchup then.chads and Ians work are equal hi quality but while yoy show one man sheds ill go wartch ian. no offence just poor choices dont make us watch on the edge of our seats sorry..ill be back after you show chads reason for being here.cheers.cul
Does he have at least one Mad Max MFP pursuit vehicles? I live in Ballarat and I’ve seen the MFP pursuit vehicle a few times around town. My wife knows the bloke who is an older gentleman but I don’t know his name. Apparently he has a few nice cars in his collection.
An over heating problem that one cannot solve is sometimes caused by plugged up water passages in the block . I have fixed several ! Best way is to take it apart but I have done a couple by removing the freeze plugs and use anything you have to get inside the plug holes and flush them out . They get really plugged up .
Had good results with CRC product called "Thermocure" for rusted/scaled engine block & head passages. Many over the years have used citric acid but you need to do at least 4-6 flushes with water to get it all out.
Its worth noting that the HT Monaro he was talking about that got $120,000.00 at auction, are few and far between. Many were written off in accidents because they were such beasts for times and the road conditions. They had in many cases a Chev 350 with a two speed auto of a four speed stick shift. Although the spray painter said the one on the hoist had a 350 some had a 327 if I am not mistaken, but stand to be corrected. They get good money for them because there are so few of them still around.
The HK had the 327, the HT replaced the 327 with the 350. Also I believe that later in the run of HTs is when they began releasing them in the 253 & 308 version (Aussie built V8s) replacing the Chevy SBs.
You could buy a basic HK Monaro with a 161 six with three on the tree also 186,186s sixes, 307 & 327 Chevs, HT series similar but 350 replaced 327 & Holden 253. & 308 V8’s were introduced later in series with 307 dropped the smaller engines were far more prevalent than the 350’s and Monaros had a myriad of transmission and engine combos on Monaro with column and floor shift in auto and manual with floor only shift on GTS models
Re: the fan shroud, cut some holes in it and rivet the top of some rubber flaps over them. When parked/stopped, the fan will suck the flaps against the holes so it'll still do its job, and then when the airflow from driving exceeds what the fan can pull, it'll blow through the holes with the flaps. I think the C5 corvettes had that flap setup? Seen a couple of cars with that sort of setup from the factory
❤🇦🇺 Edit: I’m an Aussie living in Queensland, I drive a 2020 mazda 3, 4 cylinder 2.5 litre engine. Goes good, lol!…… love this content, I’m glad I found you!
I am just curious on your comment of 34 chevy. How can you tell the difference between the 34 and 33 chevy? Maybe a strange question since I own a 33. Ironically mine is about the same color as well. Mine was my fathers that he started working on in the 60s It has not been finished but garage kept and never seen rain. Any information about the model is greatly appreciated as I start to learn and should be starting this project in the next year.
Had a 34 ford coupe payed $180.00 in 1968 had a switch on tail light that i always forgot done 80.000 miles wooden floor panels and cost me half a weeks pay in fuel loved it

Your never too old to learn something new.
The Champ is 53 born August 31, 1971....Go for it brother. 😉✌
Thank you Chad and Jolene that tour was marvellous to watch and listen it had it all. Aussie skill, talent, craftmanship and humble pride, loved it.
Best episode in Australia. The old body shop dude was epic. What a wealth of knowledge.
Old-school..

Fantastic skill level from these guys. In Australian style they're humble and laid back punching out some incredible projects.

The older craftsman is much much more than a panel beater. He's truly an artist.
I was going to say that....nice bloke...humble

Awesome to see such a talented bloke with such passion & obviously more skills than you can imagine. Such an aussie way of downplaying the mad skills you have 🇦🇺
We have old guys like him that can hand make rear 1/4 panels too for these old cars .
Who is the mechanic? I have parts he may like alot...
It’s Friday in Australia.. I’m glad you are enjoying out country Chad and Jolene.🥰🥰🥰
Have you ever met a more modest person than your Australian body man thks for the magnificent videos 😊
🇦🇺 It's great to see how much passion Australians have for old cars. 😎👍
That stove is really the bomb 💥
My first registered car was an EK ute with a HR disc brake front end and a HP 179 bored to 192ci with go fast goodies. That was 1976-77 and I had fun blowing off most of the V8s of the day, lol. Glad to see one getting rebuilt.
That's really nice of the body Man to take time out of his day to share with us his stories and his craftsmen ship

hi chad and jolene, the scaffolding they used on the Empire State Building the wood came from Bass River, Nova Scotia.
Hi all from Trois-Rivieres Quebec
What interesting conversations these are, great episode.
If you can find Ray Bell in Ballarat, you will love his collection
Does he have at least one Mad Max MFP pursuit vehicles?
I live in Ballarat and I’ve seen the MFP pursuit vehicle a few times around town. My wife knows the bloke who is an older gentleman but I don’t know his name. Apparently he has a few nice cars in his collection.

WOW GREAT CAR SHOW.
Well done Will on having Chad & his crew through your workshop. It’s your old employee Kyle by the way.
Love our Bad Chad is hear learning or listening to knowledge he didn't think us ole timers had...

Very interesting show.
Chad seems amazed that these dudes can do all these things like install an ls. Wire it yourself do custom mods etc...
Beautiful cars
You guys are Cooler Than Dang It!
The blue '34 Chevy alone is worth a thumbs up.
I am just curious on your comment of 34 chevy. How can you tell the difference between the 34 and 33 chevy? Maybe a strange question since I own a 33. Ironically mine is about the same color as well.

Can you imagine if Chad had to test his cars for "ROAD WORTHINESS" ??? 😢
Keep all the lambos and exotic whips I'll take this scene any day🇳🇿🍺🇭🇲🤘🏝✌️👑
Awesome, Thanks
Best stove Ive ever seen. Great work.
The cowling improves the suction of the fan! 😮No doubt in my mind
You’ve found a shop I haven’t visited yet guys. I’ll make sure I pop by one day and check up on that Chevelle.
The Champ likes that bodyman! Man of many talents. An artist. We're different. Brother from another. 😉✌
It's FRIDAY!!!
Happy Days Yall!!😊etc.etc!!!
Love the vids keep up the great work!!
I'm a Valiant man, but a HT Monaro is top notch 👌
Good evening Jolene and chad
Timber known as Oregon is mainly known as Douglas-fir in North America. Love the Chrysler building, very detailed.🥇
Now off to Adelaide for a weekend at the Dirty devil’s car club 🤪

The silver just makes it ,exquisite craftsmanship ✌️
