Chad, PLEASE PLEASE dont chop this to pieces!! The world has quite enough chopped up old Ford body hot rods! You will get WAY more respect if you restore this one.
He says he only wants to put Chevy headlights on it and take the louvers out of the hood, and chop the windshield but give him a week or two... He just absolutely doesn't get it that the originality of this 90 year old car that has never been owned by a bloke of Chad limited mentality is why it has the perceived value that it does. He doesn't get that any of his usual antics will only detract from it's current value. Wanna do something positive? Find a new guy that has some mechanical knowledge and get it running and operational without updating or changing every thing you touch. 90 years of preservation out the window! Apologies to the previous care takers of the amazing piece of history.
I vote to restore this bad boy. Looks like it doesn't need much. Get engine running good, new paint job and clean up the inside. Thats all i would do to it.
Yes!!!! It is almost there!! Putting a chevy engine in this is a sacrilege! This is not the base for some custom hot rod. You can maintain an era in history. This car can easily revive a bygone era. Certainly a good investment. Better than a gold bar. What can I say? Do you care??
@Davey-Drums if it was your car you can make that comment, plain and simply he can do whatever he likes with it and it will be every bit as special to him. and good for him.
Chad....PLEASE, PLEASE do not chop this up,! The world has enough old Ford hot rods but this car you've just bought is old and RARE. TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE!
Oddly enough, in this instance, I believe it could be cheaper to restore this one than to customise it. Maybe change the engine and electrics and find a nice set of wheels, but stop at that point
Guy asked him if he had someone to help him get the car running mechanically and Chad hesitated and didn’t know how to answer. Makes me wonder if Nate is no longer working with him?
Greetings from America! (Columbus, Ohio)...Beautiful car!.....90 year old car looks great as is. This 70 year old man, is thrilled to see that old gal. Original paint is appealing. I 2nd the vote to keep her original. Best regards.
Chat, Iron Trap Garage in PA has one of these under reconstruction. They also have many spare parts for the Cabralay and they might be someone to establish a relationship with. Iron Trap Garage is an early 1900s machine shop that is on RUclips. Matt is the gentleman's name. I watch them on Sunday mornings and during the week when they have new content to share. Good luck my friend on making this garage find a success for you and Jolene.
Restore It! She’s a bute! What a gorgeous peace of nostalgia. My friend Wayne who was a carriage maker retired the exact same car and colour, Wayne passed away after a very long battle with Cancer. His wife Sharon asked me to buy the car that Wayne would be smiling knowing beauty was in good care with me. My regret even today is that I did not do it!! I had no where to eke it at the time and my own projects on the go! Wayne did an amazing restoration she was bute. Be a great next care giver to this beautiful relic. NMJ Fort Erie ON.
I would love to see Chad restore this one but I am not the one spending money or doing the work. Absolutely beautiful car, such history and you working your ass off gives you the opportunity to get it.
@@garylivingston9052you make a very good point, it's also the loss of people who know how to service them and maintain an original. most people today don't lift the hood unless it won't start.
As far as early Fords go, the 34, especially is one of the car classic works of art...there's not a lot left like this one.I'd strongly suggest ,Chad, don't mess with this one except to a decent level of restoration Think of driving around your area, top down on many beautiful future summers.Something tells me good ol Ron is hoping you respect this car!
Why is everyone screaming restore it?? Do you not watch this channel and know what Chad is famous for? He does not spend the money it takes to restore vehicles nor is he interested. He buys to customize them like he likes for as cheap and fast as he can.
He’s famous for ruining them lol. That old man was warned to basically stay away from Chad when he spoke of selling the car, other builders know that car is doomed now.
I hope this car wibe restored to its original beauty. Some cars need to be preserved as an original for forthcoming generations to admire its appeal. These are rare cars, don't chop it, you will ruin it. Not everything needs to be chopped. I hope you see sense in the many comments posted. Don't give that line it's my car, my way etc. You are a better man than that.
Hey Chad & Jolene- What an awesome find. I'm a kustomizer for sure, but I hope the only cutting that happens on this Cabriolet is patch panel rust repair. Motorboat the stance, slap on skirts and Appletons and drive it. Please reconsider the sbc. It's got a fresh flatmotor in it, Getcha some flattie speed equipment for it and it's a perfectly period-correct early hotrod. Super-legit.
Derek called Paul Sheiin to get his flathead going. Derek is NOT a flathead guy. Steve from Iron Trap Garage could get that flathead running in no time. Of course none of them would waste time helping Chad. They have lots to do already.
48:26 Keep it stock nice car, just clean it up, try polishing, if it shines up, get spots where paint needs fixing and match up. Your a great metel worker but this one needs to stay stock, just a opinion, every one has one. Looks like a keeper.
I would not restore it to undrivable Quality ... Just fix the rust & paint a B or C paint job .... Small Block chevy & make it a fun Driver & enjoy it ... BTW Keep the wheels ... Black with a tan Gut ...
That's a very cool car, Chad. Congrats on the purchase. For what it's worth, though, I also vote "no" on the SBC conversion. I personally believe it would be a nice change for you to revive the car to as original as possible. If it has a '36 flathead in it, no big deal...maybe even dual carbs or whatever to get it up to 100hp to make the car more practical...but a SBC?? You become like a million other car people when you do that. No offense intended, just my opinion. Whatever you decide to do...congrats again on the cool old Ford.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS MAGNIFICENT PURCHASE CHAD WHAT A BEAUT I'M STILL LOOKING FOR A 32 MYSELF BUT GOOD FOR YOU BROTHER YEAH KEEP IT ORIGINAL PLEASE 😢
Make a nice runner out of it Nice minimal restore Is rebuilt over new interior New TOP fix the Paint A nice refresh Car would be worth some serious money then
I'd remove the plugs and squirt some Seafoam in each cylinder and leave it set overnight! Then slowly work it loose! We did that to a 350 Chevy motor and freed it up totally!
That flathead engine has a lot of racing parts available: high compression finned aluminum heads, 3 duece stromberg intake manifold, hotter spark coils, thicker radiator for cooling, get it rebalanced for higher rpm.
Its his car. If it were mine, I'd get the flathead running, update the brakes, exhaust and go over the wiring. It took 90 years to look like that. I would do as little as possible. Fix rust holes, color match and blend the Large missing paint areas. Polish the car and drive it.
I agree with everyone else do not chop it up keep it all original the value will be so much more. Not to mention you will be preserving a piece of history.

Chad will tell you he doesn’t restore vehicles. He buys them to customize like he likes.
@@ericbarlow5508 please Chad not this one
I agree.
@@ericbarlow5508 What about the Porsche 911? and the Corvette? he has some cars to keep its beauty
@@Alex-ku2ff Both of those cars belong to Jolene and she bought them for her personal collection. Chad has nothing to do with or say in those cars.
For the love of car gods, restore it.
Yes!!!! It is almost there!! Putting a chevy engine in this is a sacrilege!

@@philpinkney9238 Chad was asking what he should do with the car, so everybody can write his opinion without getting a lesson
I havent seen anything finished since chadillac. Ii saw it in his shop? Ithought it was for a dealership?
Restore to Original, that's where you will widen the purchase audience
Totally agree.
I hope and Pray that Chad will not Chop this Awesome Ford 1934. This is sweet looking
If you can't respect the original beauty of this Ford, you are not a "car guy".
Please respect the craftsmen that created this beauty. You're lucky to have gotten it
Congrats!
Chad....PLEASE, PLEASE do not chop this up,! The world has enough old Ford hot rods but this car you've just bought is old and RARE. TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE!
Yes,yes!! Artwork!!
How do you chop a fabric top?!?!😜🤷🏿♂️
RESTORE IT!
He doesn't have the talent
@@DavidSmith-zv7oq How do you know that?
Oddly enough, in this instance, I believe it could be cheaper to restore this one than to customise it. Maybe change the engine and electrics and find a nice set of wheels, but stop at that point
@joh5643 Have you ever seen him restore only thing, all he does is chop stuff up and not mechanically incine.
Not talented enough to restore..his talents lie in custom
Nice buy , don’t f with it.
He will
Such a beautiful car the way it is. My suggestion would be to restore it.
Great stuff Chad a nice little car good for you🤠 restore it new paint and keep it😎
He'd be over his head
I vote you restore it to original specs. It's your car though, so it's up to you, obviously.
This car just needs a restoration back to original. Then take it out for a Sunday drivewith the top down and just enjoy the ride.
look in ashtray for keys
The 34 will look real nice cleaned up.
Maybe you can make it look like a Volvo?
Nnnnooooo !!!!! Leeeave it alllloooone!!!!!😂
Guy asked him if he had someone to help him get the car running mechanically and Chad hesitated and didn’t know how to answer. Makes me wonder if Nate is no longer working with him?
Pretty sure he can find a mechanic if Nate's unavailable.
@@howquickHis history keeping people are bad look back to where he started, even his own kid couldn't deal with him.
I noticed the same thing ! Looks like Nate may be history.
Was thinking the same thing.
@@DavidSmith-zv7oq Yes so true your right his own son wants nothing to do with Chad doesn't that sort of tell you something about Chad's character?
Please don't ruin this one.
it will be bare metal and shorter by the weekend... watch n see.
Lol
He will
Destined to be destroyed, shame.
He doesn't ruin anything, you just have a really sad mind.
Sell it to someone who wont destroy it.

Iron Trap is awesome. I don't think this car needs parts, but Steve would have this flathead running in no time.
Paul Sheiin is a flathead guru.
I’m thinking Nate his history also.. Too bad he’s a hell of a wrenches..
Why won’t you mention your buddy’s names anymore? Never turn back on longtime buds man. It’ll bite ya..
Fina is sure enjoying herself .

Restore it, I have seen them go for a hundred thousand restored and custom only about forty thousand and less
What I'd do personally is byild a custom chassis for it and put a more modern engine and just make a killer enjoyable car
The market is fairly soft for these stock cars nowadays. The generation of people who love them are fading fast.
@@garylivingston9052you make a very good point, it's also the loss of people who know how to service them and maintain an original. most people today don't lift the hood unless it won't start.
The love and respect that Chad always displays towards Jolene, and vice versa, makes me envious of such a relationship!!
Called acting
Restore it..from Florida..it’s a beautiful vehicle..much love Chad & Jolene..
It's so beautiful Chad !!! We All love that thing so much !! 🥺. 😍
Congratulations on your new purchase i absolutely love it ❤❤❤
Maritime proud
Fina is the coolest dog in the world ❤
Please respect the car, dont touch it sell it to an enthusiast, we have enough Chad cars in the world.

What a fantastic find! Dream of finds like this one.😊
Just restore no chopping
What a nice find. I'd love to have it.
Has anyone ever seen Chad RESTORE anything back to its ORIGINAL condition?? Unfortunately he thinks everything is better after he messes with it!! 😢
Not always! Did you look how beautiful this is?
Get it on the trailer as fast as you can before a relative shows up and says no!!😂
Do a bad Chad custom on it! Weld the doors shut and get rid of the windshield wipers and heater. Definitely put wacky suspension under it. Can't wait.
Keep up the good work bad Chad love watching your videos
Fina is a great supervisor ❤
Restore only!! If you don't restore it, sell it to someone who will! How often would you find one of these that complete??
THIS is a Museum piece.....treasure it. WOW.
Im happy to-see the old Bad Chad format again just you two and the dog.
Lot's of fun watching Chad do his thing. Thank you.
You don't deserve to have it if you are going to do something bad to it
You won the lottery with that one! You deserve it. Appreciate all your hard work.

Hey Chad & Jolene- What an awesome find. I'm a kustomizer for sure, but I hope the only cutting that happens on this Cabriolet is patch panel rust repair.

That is a beautiful car God I wish I had it
Great buy 👌 enjoy it guys
Man. That is a beautiful car .. lines on it are nuts.
Have vicegrip garage come there and free the engine up. And have it running in No time, no reason to change motors
Derek called Paul Sheiin to get his flathead going. Derek is NOT a flathead guy.
Steve from Iron Trap Garage could get that flathead running in no time.
Of course none of them would waste time helping Chad. They have lots to do already.
THIS is one of your very best videos. Amazing.... I will buy a complete VIDEO of how it progresses.... Guys in Chicago envy you.
Please donate this one to a museum
Whatever you decide too do with the 1934 Ford Cabriolet is upto you guys 👍 Go for it Chad 👁🐅👌
48:26 Keep it stock nice car, just clean it up, try polishing, if it shines up, get spots where paint needs fixing and match up. Your a great metel worker but this one needs to stay stock, just a opinion, every one has one. Looks like a keeper.
Dont put a SBC in it. In out done watching if thats the case
Same here!
I would put some vintage speed gear for flathead V8 on it. Get the brakes working good and roll with it. Beautiful car man.
What an absolutely beautiful car
What a Beautiful Truck you have Sir….
✌️😎👍🇳🇿
Wow what a great piece of automotive history.
It’s so nice to see Chad this excited. Brother, you deserve this car for all the work you do every single day. So happy for you. ✌🏼😎🍻🍻🥇🥇
Check the ash box
Glad you bought it, enjoy it . Thanks for sharing, do what you want with it,
Wonder how much it cost?

What a beautiful car if you restore her back to original it is going to be stunning!!!!!!!

The question of whether or not Chad had someone to help get the motor running was
A bit close to home. Lol
What a beaut!! I don't know how you do it Bad Chad, but this has got to be one best of recent acquisitions !! ❤❤🦁🦁
I'll agree with Perina1948 no chopping this time. Detail this machine out it'll mean money in the bank in a few years.
This doesn't need customization, just restore it so it look like new again. Good move Chad & Jolene, it a beautiful dream car. And its a Ford.

Restore for sure. That's where the value is in this beauty 👍
That’s a beautiful car I’d leave it original, you just don’t find those everyday 👍
She's a beauty. Restore and give to Jolene. Keep the flathead in it.😊
Beautiful old car, please do not destroy a piece of history..this is not a junk find to cut up

Definitely he's going to destroy this bad boy.
There's a picture on the internet of a 34 Ford Cabriolet with the same color and red wheels etc. It's restored and looks very nice!!!
He was talking about putting a small block chevy in it. Are you kidding me?
Love that car. Great buy and look forward to your vision
I think you need to use a WD-40 in your ratchet straps
Truck is gorgeous!
I agree with everyone else do not chop it up keep it all original the value will be so much more. Not to mention you will be preserving a piece of history.
I hope I heard you right, you are going to keep it original. You got plenty of customs this is to nice to customize.
What was the price?
