@@alfredolopez777 a couple hundred thousand? you have 0 clue.. you could not turn that machine on.. you know why you are on the internet? because of the same people you are putting down..
Employees like that are the worst, they have a desired skill set and likely talent but always want the most money and look down at everyone in the same field, notice the owner walked away as he knew what was going down, owner should show him the shop rules on the wall about being positive 🎉
Your on - how much we talking ? It does it correct the first time to perfect tolerance - no mistakes , little wasted metal once they have the computer file - they can make them all day to order . It’s brilliant technology .
Ask ten people what the best engine oil is, I bet you get ten different answers. who is to say what is right or wrong? that is all a matter of opinion.
you couldn't have said it better. maybe. but you could try? if you have a 25k budget to build a complete car, then blowing it all on paint is not going to do the trick. the shop owner said they were 19 thousand hours into the build of the Divco. do the math what the total build cost will be.
@uliwehner 19 thousand hours at say $80/ hour is 1.5 million 😅 shop rate there is probably at least double that. This is wow factor but not practical for anyone except the good ol 1%'ers
The conversation with the body guy is exactly what chad needs more of, someone to put him in his place and show him he's not what he thinks he is. He doesn't even realize that the guy just told him that he's wrong and he doesn't understand.
I disagree. Perfection is great but not everyone can afford that, but everyone should get a chance to have a cool car and not looked down upon because of it.
@@-0909 I agree with you. I had a 50cc engine motorbike around 1987, and I built it to look a "dirt-bike" with using accessories what anybody could buy in shops. And then in a winter I built it to look like a racing-bike, and only the headlight spoiler was made by a shop, and I made the rest by myself from trashed alu-sheet. It wasn't perfect because the lack of money, and tools, etc but some friends, guys remembered on it even even decades later, some even asked what happened with it, they even named it like it was a special. And when I mentioned them it was dirt bike too once, then they didn't care that.. And I honestly like perfect, I like this shop and the guy is lucky to make perfect, but as they say "a design is done when the designer says it's ready", otherwise is just wasting time and money.
OUCH!!! Damn man!! Each of us have different takes/versions of,,good enuf!! This shop and Chads shop is like peanut butter to Caviar!! Chad likes to be DIFFERENT and good enuf while these fellas build to be DIFFERENT AND DONE CORRECT for a very exclusive clientele!! Chad likes to experiment and play,,,so,,carry on people and enjoy!!
I have seen that machine in action somewhere. That machine is a gamechanger for high dollar builds. Their knowledge is quite rare today from my perspective. It only took them over 20 years of hard work, not an overnight company. If I understand they had 19000 hours on that one car in aluminum. If the shop rate is $100 an hour that would be $1,900.000. All I can think is fantastic job. Thank you for taking us on this tour. Great job.
Yes there is a difference between doing it 'right' and doing the best you can do. As long as we are doing the best we can do, in anything in life, nobody should knock that, because by doing the best we can do, eventually we get it 'right.' That is Chad's journey that we share... This is the elite, high end. Seemingly unlimited finances. Where did these guys start from? How many Chads end up here? No doubt they stood out for doing the best they could do. Now they are paid to get it right...
To me, this was an amazing exposé on how creativity buts heads with conformity. People who feel the need to conform (do it right, or as expected) always create hotrods that look similar to each other. Their own inner conforming dogma limits them from breaking the rules or acting truly freely. Chad understands this and tries to treat them fairly but they will not respect his views because it threatens their sense of inner value. To them he is just "wrong". Still somehow, they see what he does, how obviously different it is, and secretly wish they could be so unrestrained and creative. (Hats off to the owner for giving Chad a guided tour when there's obviously big money clients to entertain.) And yes, this is the future of metal shaping. Suddenly unobtainable parts can be manufactured at affordable cost, and eventually those costs will drop as more makers appear. Thank for the tour Chad! VERY entertaining!
Good evening Chad - Just watched the latest four videos and was quite impressed with your presentation of two amazing shops. As a NS resident I was amazed to see the presentation of Wayne’s shop. Some cool projects going on there. Who knew such an amazing place was just an hour from my location. I was really blown away by the operation at Salt Works. An aluminum Divco Wow! Enjoying your show immensely. Keep up the great work.
WOW...what a great video! I live in the Sarasota area and have an '09 Avalanche that's ALMOST perfect despite 160K miles. I'm 78 with a 17 year old attitude. Hope to meet the owner one day to see if Saltworks can help me preserve my custom ride into the sunset. Thank you, Chad and Jolene, for bringing this business to my attention. You and the owner of Saltworks are ARTISTS and brothers from other mothers. It was so satisfying to witness your interaction. You speak the same language only in a different dialect.
Hard to think of what to say about Saltworks - its so so good . The tech they developed and the quality is stunning. Those people could build anything with their tech . Thanks Chad and Jolene for two great vids and a big thanks to the Saltwork crew - amazing. If I lived there I would work for them for free just doing the cleanup work.
@@ShawnSherrill-q4q you’re just a very straightforward feller which I can respect 👍🏻 you had me when you told Chad he wouldn’t last two weeks. That’s what sealed it for me 😂
Chad has been a success ..Bootstrapped himself and Jolene into an international act ...The master @ Saltworks respects Chad and was very nice to him while explaining his state of art shop ....Two choppers speaking their unique shop talk ...
Body guy definitely looked like he knew who Chad was. He was gearing up for that encounter in the background. Be humble Chad and listen though, he gave you some really great advice. Keep an open mind and you will grow a ton from this visit
hah, do you really think that Chad listen some guy? he doing hes way and thats it and it is nothing wrong about it. Everybody do what they want. Chad makes low end cars with no money, is this so friking hard to understand. Everybody is wining and whiping low balling, this show is build cars for no money to spend. so sick of people bashing for nothing, so sick of it!
@@hth405productions cry me a river! I didn’t bash your hero, I said he actually was given good advice. Did you make sure your hands were on your hips when you said you were sick of it over and over Karen?
Chad I love you dedication and enthusiasm toward your work. But to be honest this is a different level. i do not think that it is fair to compare you wit them. They are in a complete different league. They represent the elite. I respect that you realize where you stand. Keep up the good work.
Too many idiots comparing Chad's work with high end work.chads work is what about anybody can do if they try and afford. The high tech shop is awesome but the majority of watchers would probably never have anything made there,I'm sure you'd have to dig deep in your pockets
There are Craftsman and there are parts changers. Craftsman manipulate metal with a hammer and dolly. Parts changers use million dollar machines to make the parts and a parts changer changes them. Chad is a Craftsman.
Tell that to the guy raising three kids and working 14 hours a day trying to get a cheap hot rod done in his spare time and on 25 dollars a week and basic tools in his driveway.
This shop is super epic thank you Chad and Jolene this place is Awsome seeing all there tools and the experience in the parts they make it’s like wow hope your both having fun getting away from the shop a little helps every one needs a little time away and you guys are always here for us true fans every day so god bless you both
Chad you sure know how to treat people right. You genuinely ask people their names and ask about them with interest. I also like how you looked at all the cars and DO NOT TOUCH THEM! With the utmost respect.
Noticed (havent searched the most but) that its hard to get a metal steering wheel with airbag cut out so can install airbag. either that and welding or cnc there and looks like they could do it !!!
Thanks for taking us on these 2 tours Chad and Jolene. This has been very educational and interesting. It also shows us the direction of this industry going forward.
Love that guy...just pure transparency through and through. Im not surprised about the new technology with sheet metal these days...Tech is definitely moving forward at lightning speed. Thut e owner of the shop is no small fry either, those machines are hundreds of thousands of dollars if not in the low millions. But just Chads genuine personality and creativity is second to none.
@@marioncobaretti2280 the idea of “flooding” a low spot with paint or “putty” is absurd. I found his confusion about tension in a part as embarrassing… Chad builds load multipliers into structures which is a sin! Work the part until it fits into place. Take a few weeks off and watch a few episodes of Classic Car Studio for pointers.
Less metal work means less fill means longer durability and quality. Over the years if it is just flooded with fill, higher chances of flex and shrink to degrade larger areas vs smaller areas where less fill is used. Hence perfecting the metal work. By hand, or by the machines shown in the video for the best outcome. ~The Buff Guy
@1022SLB Why? Another how to do body work right my way, dude? Really? Do You know how many ways there are to do body work? I HAVE WATCHED FIGHTS ON HOTROD Cĥanels ON THE SO CALLED RIGHT WAY! OLD SCHOOL WORKING WITH LEADING A WHOLE CAR LIKE THEY DID BUILDing CARS ON THE ASSMBLE LINES. The list of the right way is a long one. It boils down to the method one want to use! Sense new method and product change all the time. I recommend you not be so but hurt on how someone does there work. Clearly you prefer a different process good for you. Put you work on you tube and we will see how you like criticizim hey?
What a high end shop love it yes I've seen this shop on line never seen the inside...how frickin cool.. 😎...thanks Chad and Jolene..for the tour that was just awesome...high tech definitely and gives you a insight of the future of this industry wow...❤🎉😊😮😅❤❤
I've used like a wet jet to make parts but holy crap the roll form that makes panels wow very interesting 🧐🤔..makes a fender in 45 min.. impressive..❤..over the top I must say.. technology people way above my days I mean I've worked with presses ex for steelcase Inc making office furniture..with all the dies .ex...but this now is some thing isn't it 😲😊
Amen brother, I would love to see that too. Thanks to bad Chad getting me motivated. I do push-ups every single day with him and at the end of the show when he can’t do them, I still do them. There’s nothing wrong with trying to get healthier at any age of your life.
Quit your hating already !!! Does your life suck that bad that you just cannot say something positive or even say anything that is not hateful and negative. Wow, get back behind your keyboard and show us how tough you are. Big talk, hiding behind his keyboard….
@@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh Wow...pot calling the kettle black I think @brucey...Read over what you just typed. It's you to a tee. To funny....U just hate when people have a different opinion than yours....
@ you just make sure you keep on commenting even if it’s about me, that’s all that matters here to me !! that’s built bad Chad’s bank account because every comment helps sucker !!! It’s so easy to set you off. Like taking candy from a baby. 😝😝😝
Hey Chad and Jolene, this was a great video, those machines are amazing. Thanks for bringing us along to see this. I note some negative like comments which I believe are unwarranted. I am watching and listening while my imagination is racing with ideas about the things they could make, mind blowing. Thanks you.
Thanks Chad for showing people that's not millionaire how to build cars. This shop is out reach of common people that like to go and work on old cars .and yes if it's good enough for you than thats all that matters
After reading all the negative comments surrounding the one guy shutting him down, I was expecting to see that. What I saw was one man with an unlimited budget to strive for perfection claim that’s the only way to build and another man point out that time and money is an object. Both men were respectful, just firm in their opinions. Which is fine. Maybe too many people haven’t seen two men disagree before.
Chad has traveled to another planet in a galaxy far-far away. No harm done seeing how things are done in the whirrled of computers. Nice tour, and the blonde from the front office is CUTE.
Thanks for the wonderful tour. 😎👍 This innovative digital technology for sheet metal forming seems interesting. However, I also find it very fascinating to be able to customize cars and build hot rods by hand and without spending too much.
Im sooo glad Chad is getting a tour of first class shops..It should change his mind on alot of the building he does..There is always someone that does it different and seeing these shops is priceless..Now to talk Jolene into getting off of the billfold..lol...
@@hotrodsales Jolene understood what she was seeing, I think she is the brains of the outfit! Chad seemed flabbergasted at the notion of an inventory system and they never even discussed “Min/Max” levels.
how many people would watch a RUclips channel an hour a day building the same car for 18 months, I think they are doing just fine for their target audience its just as shame all the people that have to run the guy down because he they don't customize the channel to suit somebody else's taste
@ynotthekiwi8429 i agree. Its a shame really. The amount of hate Chad gets is unbelievable. I think he does a fine job at what he does. Many dont agree and thats fine but why comment hateful and negative shit just to try and tear someone down? Most of the haters don't even know how to do what Chad does or even know what tools he's even using they just can't help themselves. They do it to make themselves seem that they are better. Bunch of clowns is what they are!!!
Great idea! Get off your billfold and start RUclips channel and show us what you can do, or have done. Show us what you could do in an hour a day. Uncut
and then chad it's hard to take when someone tells you things that you're not doing right you were looking for a way to get out of it I'm not the only one to have seen it I hope you won't say that these ub heiter as you can see you are not always right listen and look at all these places where you go you have lessons to learn from them and by the way I am not a heiter I notice these all
This is pretty common in the custom builder space; these guys could have metal formed that Volvo roof so DOT would have approved… might have been in 2-3 pieces tho.
I grew up with my dad always telling me "theres the right way, the wrong way, or the highway". So I've lived my whole life always making sure that it's perfect not just sufficient.
Thats real good for you! I don't live my life seeking perfection in everything I do, good enough is good enough for me in my life.. too bad you don't like my good enough..
I am sorry Chad but you obviously cannot tell this guy anything never mind teach him anything because he is definitely extremely successful in his own right. And Chad you were quickly shut down when you queried about one guy being the boss over another and being told that they would be equal. Just the same as arguing that if a thing is good enough for you is not necessarily the same attitude of others.
That panel shaper is brilliant and will revolutionise the vehicle repair/manufacturing industry.
This is what a high-end shop should be. Cutting edge technology at the finest.
Nice tour, and thank you for taking us along. I'm glad the last hurricane didn't do much damage since most of that area had a lot of damage.
Chad is doing great by visiting these shops because they deserve exposure!
custom cars are literally works of Art. these artisans are so underrated

If I could build any car in their facility, it would be an Alfa Romeo 6c 2500 SS Villa d'Este Coupe. In my view, the most beautiful car ever.
19,000 hrs in that vehicle times $100/hr = $1,900,000 so far. Wow 😯
Merry Christmas
Very cool man
Great video. Thank you very well done.
Before this ends i want this guy do push ups with chad
Amen brother, I would love to see that too. Thanks to bad Chad getting me motivated. I do push-ups every single day with him and at the end of the show when he can’t do them, I still do them. There’s nothing wrong with trying to get healthier at any age of your life.
Are you forest gumps best friend ?@@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh
Merry Christmas
What a great place. Having cutting edge equipment and employees that do great work as well as a great boss.
Incredible technology,Very inspiring,I hope this new technology of making body panels continues to grow
I'm so surprised this shop didn't toss Sheetmetal on a concrete floor and cut it with a whiz wheel.
@@johnx6020 Chad did not know what most of those tools were… poor guy was so out of his element that he looked dumbstruck.
Merry Christmas
Ya, The floor really hurts the sheet metal!!
Stunning shop for sure, amazing machines,an operator, all high end,no corners cut here.
An absolutely fabulous shop. Thanks for sharing!
Theres the right way and Chad's way
Quit your hating already !!! Does your life suck that bad that you just cannot say something positive or even say anything that is not hateful and negative. Wow, get back behind your keyboard and show us how tough you are. Big talk, hiding behind his keyboard….
That was funny as hell….
@@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh Wow...pot calling the kettle black I think @brucey...Read over what you just typed. It's you to a tee. To funny....U just hate when people have a different opinion than yours....
@ you just make sure you keep on commenting even if it’s about me, that’s all that matters here to me !! that’s built bad Chad’s bank account because every comment helps sucker !!! It’s so easy to set you off. Like taking candy from a baby. 😝😝😝
And what may I ask, is your way? Or do you even have one?
You can tell. A mile away. Chads ground wire is off.😅
Rob have a Merry Christmas
Awesome field trip Chad, thanks!
Hey Chad and Jolene, this was a great video, those machines are amazing. Thanks for bringing us along to see this. I note some negative like comments which I believe are unwarranted. I am watching and listening while my imagination is racing with ideas about the things they could make, mind blowing. Thanks you.
definitely metal wizardry , totally next level design WOW !
I wonder why I dont see any plastic chrome.. maybe because they want to be proud of their work? Just a wild guess..
Maybe they can spell chrome
Merry Christmas
Body man told the truth !!
Thanks Chad for showing people that's not millionaire how to build cars. This shop is out reach of common people that like to go and work on old cars .and yes if it's good enough for you than thats all that matters
Agree, but even if I was a millionaire I probably would not want a guy like that arrogant body and fender guy to lay his hands on my car.
Its humbling but thats how we learn. I'm as blown away as Chad is.
Can I get steel flares for a 2001 F350?
Thanks!❤
That's awesome!!
Amazing car shop
3D shaping?
After reading all the negative comments surrounding the one guy shutting him down, I was expecting to see that.
What I saw was one man with an unlimited budget to strive for perfection claim that’s the only way to build and another man point out that time and money is an object.
Both men were respectful, just firm in their opinions. Which is fine.
Maybe too many people haven’t seen two men disagree before.
Chad has traveled to another planet in a galaxy far-far away. No harm done seeing how things are done in the whirrled of computers. Nice tour, and the blonde from the front office is CUTE.
Bad ass!
Now thats a professional way to build a panel.
every project i have ever done woodworking or metal i always have a some area that i wish i spent another half hour on
Wow what a neat shop.
Great episode. Thanks for sharing. 👍
The painter just shut him down royally
You know it
The painter was very condescending, Chad was very polite and respectful cannot compare his shop with Chad workplace
@@Dominic650syour clueless dude
Merry Christmas
@@Dominic650s 💯
NOW YOU HAVE IT GUYS DOING " METAL WORK"
Insane! Much less machinery than stamping. Man this is incredible.
I enjoyed the tour and I loved the 1957 Ford
Genuinely fascinating amazing use technology to restore classic vehicles
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 awesome
Wow, it truly is a brave new world! A dream machine!
Thanks for the wonderful tour. 😎👍
This innovative digital technology for sheet metal forming seems interesting. However, I also find it very fascinating to be able to customize cars and build hot rods by hand and without spending too much.
Im sooo glad Chad is getting a tour of first class shops..It should change his mind on alot of the building he does..There is always someone that does it different and seeing these shops is priceless..Now to talk Jolene into getting off of the billfold..lol...
Maybe they don't want to spend all that kind of money and happy where their at. Ever think of that?
@@hotrodsales Jolene understood what she was seeing, I think she is the brains of the outfit! Chad seemed flabbergasted at the notion of an inventory system and they never even discussed “Min/Max” levels.
how many people would watch a RUclips channel an hour a day building the same car for 18 months, I think they are doing just fine for their target audience its just as shame all the people that have to run the guy down because he they don't customize the channel to suit somebody else's taste
@ynotthekiwi8429 i agree. Its a shame really. The amount of hate Chad gets is unbelievable. I think he does a fine job at what he does. Many dont agree and thats fine but why comment hateful and negative shit just to try and tear someone down? Most of the haters don't even know how to do what Chad does or even know what tools he's even using they just can't help themselves. They do it to make themselves seem that they are better. Bunch of clowns is what they are!!!
Great idea! Get off your billfold and start RUclips channel and show us what you can do, or have done. Show us what you could do in an hour a day. Uncut
and then chad it's hard to take when someone tells you things that you're not doing right you were looking for a way to get out of it I'm not the only one to have seen it I hope you won't say that these ub heiter as you can see you are not always right listen and look at all these places where you go you have lessons to learn from them and by the way I am not a heiter I notice these all
Hater NOT Heiter
Merry Christmas Dan
Chad, the body man has your number. I hope you learned something on this trip
What’s his number? Dude never claims to be anything other than he is.
A really great business to be proud of, well done!
This is pretty incredible
This is pretty common in the custom builder space; these guys could have metal formed that Volvo roof so DOT would have approved… might have been in 2-3 pieces tho.
This stuff is absolutely amazing. Lots of really smart people doing really smart stuff.
I grew up with my dad always telling me "theres the right way, the wrong way, or the highway". So I've lived my whole life always making sure that it's perfect not just sufficient.
Thats real good for you! I don't live my life seeking perfection in everything I do, good enough is good enough for me in my life.. too bad you don't like my good enough..
I am sorry Chad but you obviously cannot tell this guy anything never mind teach him anything because he is definitely extremely successful in his own right. And Chad you were quickly shut down when you queried about one guy being the boss over another and being told that they would be equal. Just the same as arguing that if a thing is good enough for you is not necessarily the same attitude of others.
Merry Christmas
You again , sorry ?
Is this machine made in the US, or by whom?, What is the price? Than you.
You know the saying if you have to ask the price you prob cant afford it..
Incredible
Nice Build...!!!
