    You might be into for 50 days but I would love to see it completed . Once you stop you never come back to your projects . Please complete this it has kept a lot of viewers coming back . Maybe bring in one of the other half finished projects and use it as a break from this one when needed .

    To all doubters out there.This is a marketing strategy, to promote the channel and his fabrication skills, it’s more than likely it’s never gonna be on the road. This is chad’s dream, and he makes his dream come true. He’s just practicing what he preaches to all youngsters and the young at heart out there, and maybe few people in this world should take notice

    Good luck gaining engineering certification and therefore on-road registration for this vehicle, the only parts that conform to the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations are the original chassis and undercarriage. Considerable automotive engineering expertise is required to connect the front chassis members to a substantial front bumper to reduce injury in the event of a frontal collision.

  • @HUGHEHEATON

    Hi Chad… I sent you a message about two weeks ago pointing out the fact you’re creating a “Widow/Widower Maker”. I specified this idiom because there isn’t any structural steel reinforcement in the front end of the Bugatti Hauler. There is only one-inch square tubing and 18-gauge steel plate. Because there is not a “Crumple Zone” built in, any collision involving the front end may result in severe injury to the unfortunate occupants. If you choose not to add any structural steel, I suggest you add gussets and/or angular supports at every junction of the square tubing. All those triangles will strengthen the front end. In addition, the wood floor will not provide any protection either. In fact, that area where a bench seat or bucket seats are anchored to the wood may disintegrate during a high-speed frontal impact. The wood will collapse and splinter, causing additional, preventable, injuries. Now let’s exam the exit path from this vehicle. Only one door? And… it is located up and behind the passenger cabin. You must rethink this engineering decision. In an emergency, you must be able to egress the vehicle quickly. Please observe on the photo of the original “Doodle Bug”. There are doors on either side of the passenger compartment. If you don’t correct these design flaws, the Bugatti Hauler will not pass the Canadian Safety Inspection. Please give my suggestions your immediate consideration. Thank you. JOLENE, thank you for your MAGNIFICENT CAMERAWORK!!

      I agree with this statement. This vehicle should be a static display only. If you want to drive this yourself, fine but don’t endanger anyone else. I don’t think you will follow this advice.

    • @scottvanaken929

    • @dral9657
      @dral9657 Год назад +8

      I was thinking this first day on the front overhang , the front crash area is you very little till your legs and front body momentum take it . I’m sure Chad has considered this and going the way of if an accident happens then it will be bad . The extra actuation will be in the hands of the driver and those on the road in front of you. Kinda thinking this vehicle will never see an icy road, not because of the climate ,because it just won’t leave the garage first sight winter weather .

      @stubstub8092 Год назад +1

      This may sound like a dis but I don’t mean it that way.
      Chad is an artist that welds and has plenty of practice. He’s NOT a pro welder. RUclips has lots of welding tutorials from pro welders that I expect would give you better advise.
      He’s also not that great of a sheet metal fabricator. He’s just driven and has a talent for balancing his lack of skill with his artistic visions.

    • @stubstub8092
      @stubstub8092 Год назад

      I wanted to add to that because although true, it sounds worse than I intend. He has more energy and drive than anyone I’ve ever seen. I enjoy watching because he inspires me to get off my butt and work On my own projects. His skill is mostly artistic and work ethic. He enjoys what he does.
      The lack of skill comment is because I never seen him do any panel beating, hammer forming etc. he has an English wheel but never uses it. His creations are on a budget I’m sure so time is part of it as well but don’t look at him as a skilled coach builder.

The fumes from the engine are going to be very bad without having some type of air flow out of the in side
