I like the overall shape but have always thought the doors needed to be extended 4 to 6". They just look far too short to me and it throws the proportions out.
I agree 👍 just saying
And as bad Chad always says you take what you like and throw away what you don’t like and make it your own !! I for one absolutely love the way this car looks Especially putting on them fender flares or whatever they’re called. Bad Chad always pulls off every thing he builds for some reason I always end up loving them. 🍺🍺🤗✌🏼😎😎
I love the over all look of this car. Old cars are sooo big! Great work Chad!!
I agree with you about the doors. The 2 Dr coupe doors are longer than the 4 dr sedans. It would have made it look better if he would have put the doors off of a coupe on it.
@@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUSWhere’s your build? This car is ridiculous, the ass end of this car is HUGE!! But it all blends nicely in my opinion. The changes that Steve would make, might look better… and it might totally wrong. Chad likes what Chad likes… also like it!
Chad, this car deserves to be finished, filled and painted nicely. It is beautiful!
I agree the car should be finished.
Probably never be finished like everything else he starts lol
I'm torn. It's a 'you get it or you don't situation'. The Frankenstein aesthetic is part of the charm.
Kinda like how some folks like preserving patina, and others can't paint it over fast enough.
(the interior should be done up to the nines though.)
Check the space on the rear wheels fit in the 1/4 panels openings.. One side looks a little off. Not complaining, just an observation. Great job.
Wow !! You had a vision and you built it! Beautiful just beautiful, the artistry , shaping, bending metal into the peace’s you need. And creating a vision, a work of art. You guys are amazing. We enjoyed watching and we love it just like that no paint ! No color would justify this awesome car. Just her raw silver Beauty. Well done, Well done Chad and Jolene ❤
Love the Pontiac, especially the new grille, front end and Fenders..great build!!!
If you put exhaust tailpipes out where the taillights are and put the tail lights on the back of car . Just a thought . Thumbs up 👍 Jolene and Chad 👍
I love the end result. As always, Chad has done his magic with this Pontiac.
Chad, I’m sure you already know it but when you get to driving the old flat head around, especially if you get up around 50 mph or go long distances, be sure and add lead substitute to your gas so the valves won’t stick to the valve seats and pull little microscopic pieces of metal away from the seats. Those valves were made for an era when gas had lead added to it and I’m not sure what you all have a Nova Scotia, but here in Louisville Kentucky we have to run lead substitute in old vehicles. it’s looking really good you’ve got a good eye for what looks good in home job custom, for sure.
As coupes go this one's a great build ! From the chopping to the fender fades ,
The new grill the wide rear end everything epitomizes the hot rod world ! It's awesome . It really does shine and it's not from lack of paint . Thumbs up 👍 Jolene and Chad 👍
I don't see any Rego Plates on it. So is it stictly egal to drive it on a public Road in Nova Scotia?
Short doors give it the early airplane vibe, I like it. Great job 👌
That car looks like it was meant to be designed exactly this way. Detroit could not have done any better or they would have done so . Good job Chad and Jolene Fantastic build.
Looks beautiful Chad and Jolene. I would love to see it after the welds are all ground down.
Should make it look like an old bomber
Love your work on this car but please radious the rear wheel opening to match the shape of the tire it looks so odd. Thanks
In the sunlight the shape of the car is very beautiful. 🌞👍
Great job guys.
With a matte black paint and yellow front lights it would look great!
I remember when you first got the Pontiac and you asked everyone if you should cut it up and so many thought you should leave it alone, boy were they wrong. Great job, you have some incredible skills Chad. Great job with the videos Jolene, the best on you tube!!
I wouldn't say they were wrong at all! He asked everyone and they told him their opinions, there's nothing wrong about that. His fabrication skills are remarkable and the car looks great. I wish he would have made the top a tiny bit longer and put on coupe doors, but the car looks good either way.
Check the end of your drip edges, they are not finished the same
The coupe looks great coming down the road. Looks like a streamliner! I look forward to tomorrow as I need to repair my cab corners for inspection too. You all have a good day.
Excellent series, I have learned so much after watching this series plus the 40 ford series. You two are a great team, really enjoy watching your work! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I've been wondering about all that extra
Trunk space? What do you do with it
Just leave it like that or what ?
How about a Custom Visor for the back glass? That would be unique and make the window look smaller.
Hello Chad and Jolene, Nice seeing your videos all the time either on FB or RUclips. I love when you have shots outside showing the mountain behind you and some times you catch a glimpse of the look off. It feels like home for me. I am lucky enough to call both the valley and here in PEI home. When I talk to people about "Bad Chad" and having met you both several times they always ask is that what Chad's really like? The simple and honest truth is yes, 100% what you see is the real Chad Hiltz, he doesn't pretend to be something else. A friend from the Island stopped by your place and seems to have either not seen the signs telling people to stay out if nobody is there or ignored but Chad was quick to enlighten them on what the signs meant. Don't blame you at all it is private property and we all don't want strangers wandering around on ours so it goes for use wandering on someone else's. The first time I stopped in I don't know if you remember or not but you were so kind and even gave me a long tour of the shops and tools you had made. You have good reason to be proud of what you accomplished. People should know how giving of your time you are but when you take the time for yourself and family people need to respect that and not bulldoze in. I hope to get back over to the valley sometime next spring. I hope to see what you have going on if its possible, if not you still have a very happy fan and friend here from PEI, take care you guys.
Car has a great look to it nice job!!!!!!
Not to sure about the plastic chrome bumper though...
No two people will ever agree on style, but this car looks pretty sharp to me. I (just my opinion, not necessarily yours) would sure love to see it in paint someday.
When you frist chopped the car I thought it looked to long but after you put the put the door flares on and the head light and grill this car is one of my most liked chops
I was fixing up an older dump truck, and in the course of sanding, I noticed the cab corners felt a lot different than the rest. Come to find out they had fixed holes with concrete! They did a really good job, and I left it that way, and after I painted over it, you couldn't tell.
🤯
One of the nicer cars you have done. It's Iconic great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do the Austin Martin.
Looks awesome, can’t wait to see it lowered, and the interior, windows back in, Jolene you are amazing in all that you do, you make it all come true right before our eyes
That car is amazing, Jolene edit some before and after RUclips shorts and y'all's channel will go nuts. Best hot rod builds on RUclips bar none!
You did a great job on the old Pontiac. I really like the coupe aspect of the build.
I bought cab corners and rocker panels ( what you referred to as sills) for less than $75 for 1978 F350 Ford. Cheaper and easier than trying to fabricate and perfect shape and fit
I really like how this one turned out. I would like to see this one finished. Great job Chad and Jolene.
See this one finished? Has he ever finished one? Lol
@@howardt1317I don’t think he knows how he just chops them and weld’s them up
Looks like Frankenstein.
I am normally a 32 - 34 guy. But the big look of these cars, high front end and fenders and big body does something for me! It’s not enough to say I love it!
Chad you are a true Hot Rodder . That car looks like it's going fast sitting still. Awesome job.
I love the lines of this car, but from quite early on there has been an odd lump in the top of the body in line with the front or the rear arch. Whenever something has seemed odd in the past Chad has come back and fixed it, I've been waiting for this one, but maybe it doesn't look the same in reality?
I love that thing just the way it looks with no paint something that would protect the metal or clear coat over it would look very nice don't even do nothing more to it that thing is very nice
Seeing the car outside and standing back from it is a real game changer. The cabin is definitely in proportion after all. Not by a lot but it definitely is. She's a grand old classic with big hips and it screams Bad Chad. Its his signature look for sure and its home run! Fantastic work Chad, thank you for sharing your knowledge and for putting up with the arm chair car builders.
Can't wait to see it completed with a great paint job and chrome trim!
Personally, this has been my favourite design of all your builds. It would have been nice to see it completed to a top show car calibre although I realize you build cars in a way that's possible for the majority of us with limited time and money. I would have liked to see how the grill would have looked if it tapered in slightly toward the bottom. Great design, one of your best!
A friend worked on the floor I gave him a bench with vise which he still uses
That car looks so good going down the road bare metal. Also the fall scenery added to the experience. You need to get the front window in and take Jolene out to enjoy the fall colors
I was so discussed that you were chopping that pristine old original Poncho that I didn't follow this build. When I look at it now .... Awesome job!!!!
It looks really good. Will look hell of a lot better with paint on it
Poor Jolene had to do some running to make the this vid, lol. She does a great job!!! Nice to see the Pontiac from a distance.
That's one huge wing window.
I have a photo on my fridge of my grandfather and myself in front of his '48 Pontiac. He was a real car guy, he would've loved seeing what you've done with this one!
In '48 Pontiac engines still had cast iron pistons. From what I can see, Nova Scotia is a scenic place
BTW, It's 'Gary' not 'Mary' but I'm not tech savvy enough to know how this happened or how to change it. I actually like the coupe better than I thought I would. Quite skeptical at first but nice job. As far as the critics go I may not like the outcome of some things but I watch to learn techniques and have never been disappointed. It's HIS vehicle to create what he wants and who among us ever builds anything other than what WE want as opposed to what somebody else thinks it should be? Keep on keepin' on, Chad!
Won't the car get surfs rust being that its bear metal at night with the dew an the moisture
G day, just wondering what you have done to stop the metal from flash rusting. I might have missed that part.
Thanks 😊
I actually like the small short doors because it makes it look like a huge coup and that is awesome.
The coupe looks awesome. Would look great painted candy apple 🍎red and white 😋
I can't wait to see it when it's all sanded filled and painted. Just a suggestion but I'd paint it concord purple, that's what my Harley was and every show I went to I won first place from Dayton to Sturgis and ocean city md. And every where in between.
The work ethic from chad is unseen, ive never finished a car project yet 😂 he builds a full car in 3weeks ❤
Bad Chad , finger lakes new York here ! Thanks for showing your work ! You have a good team ! Cool ideals ,crazy fun ! Great work ethics ,inspirational! Ddt
Have you ever considered backing Jolene’s race car onto the transporter. I wonder if that changes the look of the pair.
The Plymouth looks and sounds a dream rolling on the road. Damn fine job. Thank you, take care and peace out.
Should paint it a nice two tone red and white with the chrome...looks amazing
I think it might need a good tuneup.
And away we go, it hard to believe just a month ago she was a black four door 😅look how smooth and cool 😎 great job bad Chad and Queen Jolene.
Beautiful car my friend good job,watching from Cebu Philippines every day!
It really looks good going down the road,,a fine job agin you guys,,👍👍😀
Looks great. It will be even better when it is lowered. Great job Chad and Jolene!
I love the way the car looks 😍 it's awesome! I watch every video you on utube, an facebook don't miss any !
Great job! I restore too, sometimes, from Michigan to you guys, best of luck! I will be watching more for sure. Thanks
It brought a big smile to my face when you headed down the highway!
Looks great Chad and Jolene! If I could change anything would be to move the tail lights.
If you leave it as it is, good on you. It's your build! I appreciate all your hard work!
Remember folks anything done during the hour videos, is with the pedal to the metal! The quality of work while racing to get it done as quick as possible is something to watch!
Chad ignore the haters, there's plenty of us who enjoy the content! 👍😎
Hey chad add some fender skirts on the back fenders and lower the girl! Just a thought
Rumble Seat the beast. Is? it possible to center the rear wheels to the W/O ? Color or Clear Coat?
I like the front end the most, great overall job, love your work
It’s interesting The more I look at the car the more I like it!
Great Job!!!
Another project almost done. It looks good to me. Chad and Jolene rock.
Wow this man has style! What a artist!
Chad has skills.i dig his creations , his cars are unique.
I admire your resilience & tenacity. The negative comments, mostly on Facebook, do not deter your dedication to the job. More strength to you. Car is looking great.
Chad/Jolene I will not miss an episode. Truly enjoy your channel. Stay safe and well and build them the way that makes vou both 😊happy
I own exactly same hood ornament as you have on the Pontiac have had it for 57 years :) I´m 61 now hahaha . Never seen another one until now .
Looks absolutely beautiful I love it
The car is looking good & the camera work showing it is fantastic.
My favorite thing about this one is the Frankenstein welds I would leave It like that
good looking old car, i didnt see you build it, saw the old six in there, looks nice on the road, next time, take us for a ride, love the way those old drivetrains sound.
Headlights look great ! But it needs parking lights/turn signals . Did you ever get taillights on the car hauler ? It looks terrific .
Greetings from the other side of de nation, '48 is looking great! Engine sounds solid, body is classy, art deco/cartoon, art, so needs to be finished a bit! Love your visions and dedication man, I have learned tonnes from you from welding to fabrication, body work to engines, its always an adventure and I'm glad I subbed ya a bit back. Stay safe and warm folks!
the car looks great out on the road!
Magnificent vehicle, so well designed and built. You must be so proud. stay safe J.
Always good to have a friend with skills
The car looks great and I vote to clear coat it and blackout glass, would be the beast of the neighborhood. Thank you
Good morning Chad ,I love watching your vids , I am heading to Windsor in a few weeks I need to tow a trailer down there for a family friend i see your not to far from there I would love to maybe buy a T or Cap if the timing is good on our way home could we stop by and meet you guys and get some merchandise
Looks good. I like the way you are keeping it but two tone--. Gallery blue with a mother of pearl whit top.
Looks good ! Great camera work Jolene !
Chad, i see the Spray Nine on the table and it reminded I need to commend you. You showed us how to clean white walls using that product. It came out awesome. I was going to buy new tires but no need.
Wow! You all hit a honerun on this project!
Loving the car.. Are the rear wheels gonna get centered in the wheel openings??
Car looks awesome Chad
That thing looked good on the road. Right on! And yes the front end looks good too.
Chad you do amazing fabrication! Great job the car looks stunning!
Seams are smoothed out and it is looking good Chad. Great job by you and Jolene.
I really like how this car turned out the body is beautiful ❤
Man Chad and Jolene you are one bad ”Chaleam” ( team) you guys rock at 8:35 you driving past those two cars on the road if I was one of those I'd of thought you were an antique spaceship driving down the road that car is awesome amazing job thank you
Hi Fina !
