The planning is the most important part. Nice job!
Cool video ... this car looks almost the same as my 37 plymouth ... down to the color ... lookin forward to the next one ...
I Got a few things in the works
Good start on the chop. Proper planning makes the project go well. Going slow and thinking ahead. Having done a few before watch the slope of the back window. Sitting back 20 ft to the side after mock up really helps.
"Wherever applicable"...
If you have to take out wood, or have nothing....a good and cheap sub-structure medium is steel electrical conduit.
It comes in several sizes. And it bends and welds good, you just have to grind off the coating where you weld.
Not a big fan of welding galvanized. I usually go with 1X1
Nice work you make it look easy but I know it’s not😊
My 2 cents
Once done I would draw custom moldings from front to rear
Hire a carpenter or pro molding guy
They mostly work with straight molding tell them pie cuts is ok it will be painted and wood paddy
Then cast it use old spoons forks and butter knives weld bolts under them
Send to polish shop
Or could use brass stock?
That Nash looked like it had a mild chop already. Was that stock? Very cool, made even cooler by you.
Yes, the body was totally stock
@@Theoldironworkshop Very sexy design from the bullet headlights back!😀
Oh wow. That is a sweet looking car without doing anything to body. Keep it stock! Oh well. :(
Whoops
Love your videos, the details, the explanations, the sly humor and the effort you put into them. Sucks me right in. I've got a 51 buick rustbucket I wanna chop (admittedly, it's not as rad as the nash). I've not done any metal work, so your videos are greatly helping me envision this project. I've also got a 51 belair that the previous owner chopped but left half of the original sail panel next to the new sail panel and used it as a channel for electrical to the rear. The issue with that is it's in the way of finishing the interior, so I've gotta figure out what to do with that.
Question, though, what do you do with the glass now that the lines/curves have changed?
All of the glass in this car is flat so it’s easy to just re-cut. That’ll be an episode three well, possibly
Thanks for sharing your awesome content. The Nash is a stunning hey. Waiting for the next video.
ohman my buddy has one of those, 4 door, suicides, has a lot of parts for em, has a second newer one, 40 or something as well... way cool cars
Very nice job so far
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Crazy fab skills
Nice cut!
Wow I just found a real car chop shop that understands the word quality .
You are a welcome relief.
Yes I follow Bobby Waldron 's advice too .
And Mike bello (hommie)😊
Yes, Mike is my number one Vato
Subscription done! I like your style and the way you get things done. Wish I could come work for you! Awesome stuff👌👌👌
Thank you
Do you sell the vice-grip razor blade kit?
I had one just like it but I can’t seem to find it in my disaster-area garage…
That’s a patented design. Working on mass production
I just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to watching your build, i hope you have a great day and weekend,. Brian..
Thank you sir
1:48 Fun Fact: you dont get tetanus from rust. besides the fact you have rust literally in your blood... iron oxide is not deadly and can never in any way cause tetanus... The rust myth comes from the fact that most people got tetanus after stepping on a nail in the yard, which was usually rusty... but what happens is, since you are bare foot, you have dirt all over your feet, the nail pushes some into your foot, which causes cellulitis (a skin infection from a foreign body being trapped in the skin. and in that dirt is bacteria that when combined with cellulitis is able to run amuck and cause tetanus...
That is interesting. Makes sense Reminds me I probably need to update mine
@@Theoldironworkshop not if you dont plan on getting any dirt jammed into an open infected wound...
REALLY BAD VIDEO---GETOFF RUclips !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m trying.
A air ride bring it to the top tie it bring it down
I love it ..
I always wanted one of these. Cool cars. Chop is looking good.👍
Thanks 👍
Where can you find the window seals?
Apparently none exist. I’m not 100% sure when I’m going to do at this point.
@@Theoldironworkshop There is a place called "Pat Walsh Restorations" He will have most if not all of the rubber you will need. It is not cheap and it takes a long time to get it. I ordered some for my '37 Nash and it took about 6 months to get it but it seemed to be good quality. Hope this helps.
I'm working on a mercury that was chopped without being braced. Do you have any advice? Doors line up but are pushed into the quarter panels, would a portapower open the door opening?
A potapower will probably cause other problems. Probably best to cut the back apart and Jack it up in the middle and realign
@@Theoldironworkshop do you mean cut the c piller roof loose? The package tray and quarter window supports have been cut loose. Looks like someone just wanted to trash this car
did a great job
I liked, I subscribed < I commented.
Thank you
10sec in the video .. f off from a canadian subscriber😂
I’m from Michigan originally so there was always that sibling rivalry. I guess you would call it with the Canadians. Nothing personal.
I've literally laugh , no worries !! keep on grinding bud!
You have any up date video's pretty curious how it's turning out? Your planning is well done seems like you done a few of them. I have a 1947 Chevy Stylemaster coupe I wouldn't mind having it chop only because it's not a oringal car a whole lot has been changed on it. If it was a all oringal car then I wouldn't mess with it.
I am currently about 80% done with the chop. Hope to have another video drop shortly. I don’t wanna break it up too much. I really would be a three video series.
That is going to look very nic! Those cars look bad ass chopped. ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
Yes it does
What was used to lower the car?
It has a sub frame and 4 link
You ruined that car
The name of the show is how to ruin a perfectly good car.
Laser Level.
What’s the plan for the wood / structure?
Well, all of the wood in there is for the upholstery. It all needs to be replaced so I will probably leave that job to the owner or the upholstery guy. It’s not needed for any type of structure.
you should watch bad chad chop a roof much easier on the job
Well, I guess it depends on the type of vehicle
Bad Chad has a much more quick and dirty build style. He's a great artist, but I don't really see quality in his work. That dump truck he built a few years ago already has cracking bondo and I fear his other cars aren't far behind. Don't get me wrong, I love what Chad Hiltz does and I love watching him work, but his cars are made to look pretty on display. I wouldn't actually want to drive one.
Bad chad is a clown 🤡
The coat hanger kid , structural integrity is what springs to mind 💀💀💀💀💀,
Death trap if you actually took it on the road
Bad Chad doesn't think through the chops he does. Neither does he plan ahead. THIS is how it's done.
@@nasserally2313 that's why it's always a crappy result 🙄
