Brother, I have never asked you to leave a car alone before and I hate to say it! It pains me to say, but this car does not require customization! Just appreciation Congratulations guys she is a beauty
To echo what many others in the comments have said, this car deserves to be preserved. I love to cut up, chop, customize, hot rod, and personalize cars just as much as the next guy, but some cars just aren't the one. Ford did a beautiful job on this car. I would paint the door, and color match and blend the paint to make it look like it never happened. I'd touch up a few spots, and get the flathead running whatever the cost. There's nothing wrong with doing some fixing up on it and parking it next to that custom car collection, and simply enjoying it's original beauty. It doesn't need a SBC or hubcaps, it's already a work of art.
Speaking of an "investment": you are not the only one who appreciates how original the car is. "Customizing" in this case is more like vandalizing - it will cut value.
Chad, the 34 cabriolet is one of the best looking and rarest Fords ever to be made. This one has survived 90 years so well and devserves to be preserved. it may be the very last original one!! Please restore it as it is. This one shouldnt customised, it is too inique and special.
Don't waste your time telling them not to chop the car! He just said he won't promise anything because promises get him in trouble. He has no real feelings for the car except for the RUclips content he can create.
Beautiful car..definitely something to treasure and enjoy..cars like this don't come along very often at all..wouldn't change a thing..drive and enjoy😊
I'm astonished at the condition that Ford came out after a clean up! The top, chrome and even paint. We already know the upholstery is beautiful. Awesome score!
I put a 283 in a 34 5 window in 1969. The worst part is you have to cut the firewall for distributor clearance! Bad Bad Bad for this car. Use a 38 or 39 transmission(stronger.) A mercury pressure plate will bolt to the Chevy flywheel. Ford will not. Adapter and pilot bushing are needed to bolt up trans. Hurstptor mounts bolt to the front of the block & the stock mounts. That car is too nice to cut! Chad said if you need it more thane- let me know. I called- Hope he got my message 😊
What a find! And you deserve it. You keep on the lookout for nice old cars. And you do have an appreciation for special old cars, such as that nice Oldsmobile classic. I would like that one. How amazing was that, when cleaning off the "cracks" like magic. You don't need to "restore" this car any more than providing basic repair and maintenance. Before you even think about changing out that engine, get the flathead running! I'm pretty sure a LOT of your viewers would love to watch that project. Engine locked up? Probably a bit of rust holding the piston rings in the cylinders. Not like that engine was out in the rain, filled with rusting water. There will plenty advice on all the things you can start pouring in through the spark plug holes to free up the pistons. Start with the rust penetrating oils. Get a long funnel into the spark plug holes and fill the cylinders up. Then, let them soak for days. Keep 'em filled up. Maybe some occasional small/moderate hammer taps on the breaker bar you have on the crankshaft. And if after several days of that, well, you can go up ta acid. This may necessitate at least new rings and a cylinder honing, but you have to get the engine to turn, even for a full rebuild (which would be very cool too). Certainly interesting "content"! Once you get the engine turning, then you can clean the carburetor (as well as the basic gas tank cleansing), put in new plugs AND wires (those old insulators may not insulate too well any more.). Your engine guy can deal with the basic starting needs. Fun to see it fire up, and take it our for a spin, "as is". One nice thing about not "restoring" the car, is it can be a useable, running car! Take it to the store. That is really enjoying it.
The world of automobiles has witnessed countless creations that transcend the mere concept of transportation to become true works of art. These machines, designed with care, precision, and profound technical expertise, reflect a perfect blend of engineering and design. However, not all of these gems find a destiny worthy of their historical and cultural value. Such is the case of this coupé, whose arrival in the hands of a craftsman without the necessary skills to appreciate its significance is a true affront to automotive heritage. Each line of its design, each curve and each component were meticulously crafted not only to convey speed and performance but also elegance and sophistication. Vehicles of this caliber are not mere products; they are the culmination of decades of innovation, tradition, and an unwavering pursuit of perfection. To see such a masterpiece subjected to interventions that disregard its original essence is, in itself, an act of cultural negligence.
OFF ALL THE CARS EVER BUILT THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT THAT WAS BUILT . THERES NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO IMPROVE A PERFECT BUILT ONE LIKE THIS ONE . THIS IS ONE TOO BE BROUGHT BACK TOO ITS GLORY . WHAT A RIDE .
I heard him say he was going to change the hood panels, put on Torpedo headlights and fender skirts. He then said he would not promise to cut it up because making him promises gets him in trouble. Despite being a beautiful car the only feelings he has for it is what he can do to it for RUclips content and the money!
It looks great cleaned up. Touch ups, paint repairs and a running flat head, it will truly be improved and hold value. So glad that you were able to get it.
Chad, Jolene, & Fina, the Cabriolet looks 200% better just from the little bit of cleaning! I believe that you guys indicated that his garage was heated and if so I would not think the engine would be badly stuck. I would pull the plugs and as I said dump a little Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders or even some regular oil. If that does not work then go with a penetrant and lubricant like oil and trans fluid. I totally agree with you just paint the door, the decklid, and the spot on the left 1/4 panel. Chad I am surprised that you don't care for the louvers in the hood, but I think they might be necessary for engine cooling. Jolene great job on everything that you do you are definitely a hard worker! Say hi to Fina for me!
Wow! You’ve got yourself a real beauty right there. As much as I appreciate the customizations you build I really think it would be a shame to modify that car one bit. I’ve seen a few others commenting similarly too. I don’t have the money to buy or restore that car but you certainly do. I hope someone is willing to buy it from you or you restore it back to original. That car is a real piece of automotive history and I personally think it would be almost sacrilege to customize or alter in any way. I would try to retain the old flathead engine too. I’ve said my thoughts but obviously the choice is yours and Jolene’s. 👍👍🇨🇦
Here in the states I was able to have hand held gun that matches existing paint, then prints out the exact mixture for the paint. It really worked for me.
Chad im agreeing with alot of people in the comments brother to not chop or customize it. Do like you said clean it up, repaint door and what little rust spots, get engine running and clean the inside up and enjoy it like it is. Or give it a whole new paint job on the whole car. But wow it looked 100 times better getting it cleaned up. Please brother dont chop this one. And i dont say this much. But this one does deserve not to be chopped!! And get a paint specialist at paint store to match the paint up for you. Awesome purchase guys!!!
What an awesome find, Chad. I love 34 Fords, I have a chopped Tudor sedan. I have only seen a handful of 34 Cabriolets, and for those, the original sheet metal was left original, but the drive train and stance were updated. Which increases their value! That's what I would do. But it's your car......have fun with it.
You know that Chad isn’t going to get it running himself he doesn’t know the first thing about how a engine works or what to do to get it working he’ll find some other sucker to do it for him.
@@1pysco I doubt that ever happens.. not sure what transpired but it musta been bad, Not Really OUR business so I don't think he will share anything about it..
I've never seen a Bad Chad episode where the subject car was restored. It is a different kind of process than making a chopped/channeled radical custom. This '34 Cabriolet Roadster would be a excellent candidate. As mentioned by others, these are somewhat rarer and now harder to fine, especially as complete as this one is. You could update the mechanicals and then apply a concours quality paint job. It would make a very handsome cruiser.
One of the beautifulest cars ford ever made Jolene and Chad what a true gem indeed when I seen this car my heart started pounding with excitement for you both this is Not a car that needs anything but some cosmetics this is truly a very beautiful classic STAY WELL
Good evening Chad and Jolene. The car is beautiful. The only thing that I'd do to it is keep the flat head and upgrade it a little and touch up the paint on the body or repaint the whole thing with the same color. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing. It's your car so you need to do what makes you and Jolene happy. Just one old man's opinion. God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂 P.S. Prayers for Jolene's Mom. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This car is beautiful, It deserves to stay an original, I'm guessing it is worth more original than a chopped 34 ford. I'd have Nathan pull his magic on the flathead engine and enjoy it as it is. I know you're more than capable of restoring or chopping I'd love to see it stay as it was built.
My oldies bug hit when they started electronic ignition and OBD systems! Oldies, when something went out, you knew exactly what was wrong! Nowadays, mechanics are just certified parts changers! Went front Sun engine analyzers and timing lights, to IBM computers and dozens of codes to hope you have the right area!

I can not help, but agree with the guys that says, just restore it.
Anyone that cuts that car up would loose my respect for sure. It needs to go to a better home. NO RESPECT FOR THIS CHANNEL.
Chad & Jolene, Please restore this beauty and keep it as original as possible, to rare to customize

34 is a winner. Keep it original, including the flat head.
Absolutely !
The flat head is a 36 so not original.

Rebuild the motor!!

Chad and Jolene are polishing the facets of this Diamond in the rough . Thank you both for the entertainment and tips . ✌
It's looking fantastic i think just restore and repaint the rough looking door. Man the patina is so genuine it's priceless
Good luck to Jolene's mom. Hope everything turns out well

I usually stop at the car wash on the way home. it doesn't take to long to spray it off with pressure vs wiping it down by hand.
Good thing he didn’t he wouldn’t have any paint left .
That is one stunning !934 Ford that you guys pick up,I just Love it !!!!!

You would be crazy to customize that car it's a gem just the way she is, all she needs is tender loving care.
