ChadFab family has some Mad talent going on! You all are so meticulous in all of your projects! Can’t wait to see the finished Blazer!
Love the Blazer, but I have to say that my heart almost stopped as I saw Crusty sliding over towards that Mustang during the mini-burnout.
I wasn't all that excited about his choice myself.
😁
I was thinking the exact same thing. I'll be a male Karen and say that I'm not a big fan of burnouts on street vehicle. I guess I'm always thinking "Shit, tires are too damn expensive to be doing that vshit" 😆😆😆
New subscriber here. Great content. Thank you!
That big blazer is a gem! Worth more than money.. congrats on that build. Wish you had video of that build
Keep posting Chad and family and together we will have our lives enriched.
Stay safe healthy and happy 👍
Thank you!! Our goal with our videos is to be uplifting, entertaining and informative.
I’m enjoying your channel more and more. You are obviously getting more comfortable and there is a lot of good info for those of us who have little projects of our own.
Thank you!!
I love your positive comments at the end of your videos! Thanks for sharing your talent and your family with the world! :)
Thank you!
Build finally re-started and making progress. Thanks for sharing the sage advice at the end.
You have a great family unit and your demeanor/character shows through w/ your kids attitudes - or lack thereof. Kudos to Mom and Pop for a job well done. Watching Chad persevere through all of the projects he undertakes helps motivate me to get back on my restoration project - '65 Corvair. Its been over ten years for this project and lots of creative financing to collect all of the necessary parts/pieces to accomplish this job, but I feel closer to a finish date, thanks to a little good fortune in the form of a small inheritence that allowed me to get all of the engine rebuild parts I've needed. Organizing my new-to-me garage (just moved) is the next big task, then I can actually start on the Vair. Yea, me!
Thank you for the kind words!!............now get out there and go to work!😁
@@chadsfab Yessir! Or Ma'am, if this is Chad's wife replying.
Dude your content just gets better and better clean family entertainment and i notice you getting more confident in front of the camera well done chad and family
I appreciate your comments and feedback!!
It has been a long haul to find my groove with the camera for sure.
I love how precise and meticulous Chad is. No offense Paul.
These videos are just plane awesome you guys showing the love and passion for these Trucks is great, thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy watching.
I found your channel through the Nugget build and enjoy your style! Thank you for all you and your family share with us.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video Chad. I remember as a kid my dad had a red 78 Chevy Blazer. Always wanted it as my first car but he didn’t let me have it. Wasn’t sure if it was cause it was his baby or that by the time I was old enough to drive it had things that needed to be fixed and since he wasn’t a mechanic or so inclined had me get a little car. Also remember after we first got it brand new, when we took it out for the first drive at the stop light I bumped the four wheel drive shifter in to neutral, and for the life of my dad and friend could workout why we couldn’t move. Ended up call the dealership to come help. Dad wasn’t impressed with me and was the last time I sat on the center consul with my swing feet. 😂 Bye the way love the orange colour.
🤣😂🤣
Momma knows best ! The Crusty looks good with the camper shell & the rumble sounds awesome . Love CHADS saying at the end. I let my good friend fix anything that goes wrong on my 2005 Xtra ranger . I'm not good with vehicles . I'm the goffer & clean tools. Put it this way years & years ago bought valve cover & oil pan gasket everyone laughed oil all over the ground over tighted the bolts. Plus here's the best id walk into Car Quest & Robert the owner would tell everyone in the store if they see me working on any vehicle to call the cops ! Its a crime if I had a tool in my hand. So from then all my freinds say put that down. But love your knowledge & you share with your viewers. I see vehicles as art .keep on sharing prayers are always with you all
Thank you!!
I hope you still at least try to learn new things. If I can learn to be in front of a camera you can learn to fix stuff. 😉
Crusty didn’t even break a sweat with that burnout. Awesome……. And you have great reason to be proud Chad. Body work, at that age, and commitment, is something to be very proud of.
Thank you!! Crusty still has a lot left, have a super conservative tune in it right now.
Love the family involvement with the projects or at least presence of the peanut gallery.
Nice burnout and outside keeps the clean up easy
things are way more fun with the family involved.
A friend of mine had a black 1972 K5 with a white convertible top in 76-77 they are awesome vehicles, we enjoy your wife’s smile and laugh and humor on the videos, good burnout 😎
Forgot to mention you on Paul's Golden Nugget video - great job helping out there as well. This looks like a cool project!
Videos are awesome and get better and better! Great personality, great,content, great camera work and editing! Thank for keeping it family friendly! Already looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much!!
one of the best channels on RUclips! Love your work and attention to detail. Always be yourself & #DontEverChange
I appreciate that!
Every time a new video comes out you seem to loosen up more and more in front of the camera. Good work my guy. Keep up the awesome work and trust the process.
It has been a long haul trying to get more comfortable in front of the camera. I have always been a behind the scenes kind of guy so this was almost a deal killer for me.
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback.
100% agree. Chad a has a ton of skill and knowledge and I like that he is loosening up more. (I would be tense myself ) I do like to see the actual process of him doing the install and explanation of things as well.
Agree! Before you know it Chad will be a natural in front of the camera!
Chad will have no problem getting this done 👌
I'm happy to see you looking at the instructions first, not like some fabricators we know.
I was mostly looking for the pictures.🙂
"Murica! nice burnout with Krusty and Old Glory Flying!
Man, I had a 72 Blazer when I was in High School back in the late 80's. If i only knew how much I would miss it and the price they would get to in the future, I never would have sold it. You're making me want to build another one.
My uncle purchased the first blue blazer in Houston Texas I think 1968 r 69. We used for deer hunting in one of the rocky area of Texas the city of Comstock look it up. Tk for ur videos. Blazer r the best 4x4 I’m a fan
You and your crew are definitely the detailcrew! like art work
Thank you very much!
The young bloke is a good camera operator.
Kudos to you and your family, your work ethic seems above reproach. Great channel.
God bless.
Thank you kindly
Exactly what I've been waiting on: The '72 Orange Blazer Project!!!🤙
Really enjoy both your mellow approach to life. Cheering for you.
Thanks so much!
Chad and crew, this looks to be a very cool build. Looking foward to this. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. P.s a nice first burnout 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
A competent auto tech can take buckets 🪣 of parts and reassemble it almost as fast as whoever disassembled it!
Yes and no, some cars are more difficult than others. Restoring one also means cleaning all the parts and bolts which can take a ridiculous amount of time.
@@chadsfab my first 4 cars were disassembled Basket Cases. I was a teenager. Of course 1950s were the vehicle's I bought.
Chad's intro comment Bob & Blob lol Kaden's K5 is comming along, I love old Chevy's we have 3 K5's that run 67'(Lucy Goosy), 69'(Betsy the Beast) & a 80' my late Dad's rig named after my late mama (Bonnie), great burout by Dusty & Crusty, great video thank's for sharing ❤😉👍
These blazers definitely have a way of getting in your blood.
Love watching your projects and the work you have done on the Golden nugget. You are a man of many talents. It's always good to see the family involved and Stacy you are a very good camera person. If you ever need a fill in hit me up. I think it would be fun to hang out in the shop behind the camera. Maybe I'd even learn some things. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!! feel free to drop in and visit any time.
Looking good Chad and y'all doing a Awesome job and I wish I could afford to come out there and have you and Paul help me with my truck. But this past Thursday I had surgery on my left shoulder
Yeah Chad.... that old 'fear' is a killer 🤜💥🤛
That is a sweet blazer your son is very talented at sheet metal. Was the floor cut behind the trans tunnel to fit the 241 and get the engine at the correct angle for drivelines.
Time to get back on Kaden's project!
That is a badass build guys and gal looks amazing can't wait to see it done
Thank you!!
thats awesome. i have an 85 shortbox i sent to a shop to install a new engine and instead they installed a used one , burnt up my wiring and the half ass re-wired it. had it for 9 months. The new engine haha uses oil so i know it's not new and when i asked for the warrenty papers they said new engines don't come with one. Funny i said all GM motors new come with warranty.. so what they did was bought a new engine took the paperwork made a copy sent copy to me and sent engine back. I don't understand do people really think other people are that dumb? apparently yes. So it runs kinda. so now i use my pride and joy just in my yard because i can't trust it anywhere else. To bad you wearn't closer i would love to have you go through mine. take care Chad may the good Lord bless you in all your endeavors.
I'm sorry you spent so much money just to have them ruin your truck.
That K5 is going to look nice !
👍
Hope so!
Wild little cruster, I wasn't to happy with the first one he nearly got the stang😡 nice rigs, the lot of them, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I wasn't very excited about his choice of the driveway either.
Thanks!!
When the workbench is full of debris. and you pull out the top drawer and use it as a workbench. recognize myself !!
continuous problem in my shop.
I had a 73 K5 with positive traction front and rear but it seemed shorter than the 71 in your video. The only thing that I disliked about mine was the 308 gears and when I have the top off then get caught in a rainstorm lol.
Loved that utility truck. I wish I had not sold it in 2003.
By the way it was the same color as yours.
I love Smokey burnouts!
This is going to be a Nice Project ! Thanks for Sharing !
Luv the old squarebodies
OMG I'd luv to watch this but apparently it makes me cry too much. Dad and I had near identical truck we were going to build but I lost them both 5 years ago and honestly I had no idea just seeing a video like this would bring back feelings so so hard.. all the best I'm sure it's amazing!! I'll be back for the next one.
I am so sorry for your loss.
@@chadsfab thanks my friend much appreciated, please know your posts helps many in many different ways. Thanks for all you do..
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Thanks for the visit
I love those K/5 Blazers, looking forward to more of these videos.
As much as I like the big blazer I can only imagine his nice this will turn out!
Nice, good luck with the project.
Looking forward to seeing this build, I had a high school buddy who’s parents had an orange 71, gawd it was so cool.
My dad always had a truck or blazer from about '74 on. I have a huge love for them and will likely have at least one until I die.
Hey Chad and Momma great channel very nice Build nice burnout and pretty pretty pictures 😂👍✌️🇺🇸❤️
Thanks 👍
Thank goodness you have a supervisor Chad ! LOL
I need ALL of the adult supervision.
Love that BBC sound in a vintage truck!!!
Always wanted one of these in high school.
Yeah, was hoping for 2nd on the limiter too. Another project starts taking shape.
I can't wait to go try out the rev limiter myself
Chad I can't wait to see what this project is going to going to turn n to
The truck sounds awesome, the Blazer is going to Rock! brother
Chad was reading the instructions? I thought for a minute that he was on his knees praying for pictures 😂
I was praying for the ability to read. 😁
I've worked under the dash a few times and I should've taken the front seat out, just four bolts and pull that seat out.
Your videos are getting better and better, Chad. Keep 'em up!
I appreciate that!
Oh yeah, that Crusty is right on!
Thanks Chad!
Love the vibes Chad and fear is a liar awesome burn out your a gifted man I used be like you and your friends now I'm disabled and watch I think about it but that's all now I vicariously live through your videos and Paul ,merlin etc keep turning those wrenches and living those dreams remember the world has a love problem so love all around you
Thanks for watching! I am truly sorry you can't do this anymore.
Awesome and you're very right
Thanks for watching!
Those old blazers are awesome. Here's me thinking is was a bronco. Lol
Can't wait to see how this build progresses. Came over from fab rats.
Thanks for coming over and subscribing!
i have always loved thatstylr of truck and original suv
wow art at work.
I bought a 72' Blazer in 1985 in Denver CO for $5200. It was Mint.
That was a lot of money in 1985. I'll bet it was super nice.
@@chadsfab It sure was. Then I moved back to MN and winter salt killed the body. Now a nice 72' Blazer can bring in $50,000.
@@Z-Bart Pretty standard to see them go for $150,000 plus at Barret Jackson.
Fun video, thanks…
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice to have a tad more room then when you were in the nugget LOL
Or way more room. 😁
WOW, AWESOME BLAZER!
Thank you!!
It's the Knee brake, for when you knee'd brakes
😁👍
I stripped my q jet down to a 2 bbl and went in the service for 4 years when I got home dad was all kinds of wanting to know what happened to my carburetor I told him nothing I just disconnected the secondaries and locked them off from working. Because a farm truck dont need a 380 horse 327 hp vet motor cracking the 4 bbls every minute I figured he had 292 horse with the 2 bbls and the drive train was for a 250 inline 6
That's going to be an awesome Chevy..
I hope so!
I haven't seen one p.o.s come out that garage... So I'm sure it
@@johnhornback7878 Thanks!
so do you wire in controls to keep the truck under control .. like a brick under the gas pedal so they can't floor it lol .. lots of little things in a project like this ..keep the videos coming .. don't realize how much wire go's into a project till you start laying it out ..
The only controls this truck has is the gray matter between the driver's ears.
Nice facility. I’m trying to get my two car garage to this point in paint and lighting. WI garage facilities aren’t much, but Boy the kitchen and bedrooms are nicer. We bought a DIY ranch here last year. Sick garage. Fear stopping things? I’d be upset if I had a US flag like that on the back of my pickup or Wrangler and I’m a disabled vet.
Stinkin L. S.
Didn't come with one.
What a way to spoil a kingdom. 427 small block with ? He is young!
Super nice blazer. Full marks for all the work. 👍
✌🏻🧡 🇨🇦 😎.
I know the LSs are overdone and everything has one. In this case it was the cheapest easiest way to get 400hp, get fuel injection, serpentine belt etc. The original plan was a big block but it was waaaaayyy out of Kaden's budget to put one together and fuel inject it.
My Dad use to call us kids crumb snatchers.
Love it. Great content.
Much appreciated!
Chad you're looking good on the blazer good job 👍
Thanks 👍
It's like a BIG golden (ORANGE) nugget!!!
🙂👍
It's working on the Nugget LOL
That thing is sweet man
Thanks!
👍👍
Hot dang 🤠👍
Let’s see that custom faded gmc in the back ground.
That one is a customer's truck.
You seem to have the patience of Jobe.
Some days are better than others.....
So funny. No matter the level of socio-economic level of the car enthusiast, if the bench top is full and there is even the smallest of a drawer that can be opened be used as a bench, then so be it, it gets opened.
🤣😁🤣
👍
Good looking truck!!!
Thanks 👍
Another great video Sir
Thanks again!
Sounds like that truck is Missing!! You need to turn that truck up !!
The idle air control motor didn't want to work (fixed now) so it idled terrible. Once we get a few more things done on it I will put some good numbers in the spark table, clean up the fuel map and really let it eat.
great video
Thanks!
@@chadsfab you’re welcome. I enjoy the building videos
great channel
Thank You!!
Give it 2k HP and HUGE thick mud tires
Bet your neighbors love the burn outs. LoL
they seem to like them ok.😁
Me gots a big orange twuck
