    Everyday I'm "HAPPY" seeing this Kick-Ass car has a focus to get finished. It is the BEST BUILD on You Tube. There is no other Hand Built car, made from scratch .
    There is my favorite builder RUNGE ,but he just makes Aluminum Bodies for existing chassis. Still a very talented Builder.
    I'm seeing it all ,together painted, upholstered
    The wood trim , the Immaculate Chariot, it will be.
    No denying, That's Jolene of Bad Chad Customs, going down the road. Absolutely a great summer of driving smiles for miles!!!
    EXCITING !

    The firewall looks awesome being on the car. I would use rivets to mount the aluminum. That way it would blend much better.

    • @philipspencer1834
      @philipspencer1834 Год назад +1

      I agree and that would help to reduce corrosion that might be caused by the brass / aluminium interface (dissimilar metals) 😎👍
      Bloody amazing skill.

    Before going further, make a removable brace going down the center from firewall to rad support. Will give extra body rigidity. Then, make the sides of the engine bay temporarily removable as well. For access to the area while working on it. Then you'll always be able to get to the plugs, air filter, carbs, oil filter, etc.

      The removable strut is a great idea. And yes. Now is the time to make mods for serviceability. I also wondered if he could create clearance recesses if he does not want removeable panels.

      @@garyd907 Stainless will look nice, but I think Chad is right. Brass against aluminum avoids the galvanic corrosion. You would be amazed how quickly the aluminum will 'rot' away from the contact with stainless given the right conditions for that chemistry.

    When I ask this question I am really interested to know. Please don't take this as negative criticism on what you do ,i think you are very talented in your field of car building/modifying. This is not hyperbolic this is true. My question is why did you not make foot wells on each side of the fire wall to accommodate the pedals on the drivers side and allowing the steering wheel to be closer to the dash and giving more leg and arm room .Please don't be upset at me for this question it not that I don.t like the project I am just wondering the reason .Haters please don't hate on me for honest dialogue and being interested in the thought process.

Your words of encouragement goes straight to my heart .. today as with time past there's been some awesome progress on my build .. even though it's been small victories .. like you said every little thing done is something I won't have to visit over & over again as things move how ever so slowly forward ! At the end of the day it feels great just to be able to accomplish something no matter how small it was .. Taking the time to put some thought into it has been beneficial to me .. I have used material others have thrown away that saved me a lot of money & has worked out great ! I have been admiring my work as it starting to take shape which motivates me as I go ... Hand built has character & I am so glad it's that way ! Can't wait to actually drive it everyday & enjoy it .. Got a ways to go .. but it will get there ! Thanks Chad & Jolene !

    What is so great about Jolene's camera work is how smoothly, slowly and steadily she moves. Her work is very professional and a pleasure to watch. Everybody else's camera moving and panning is fast and jerky and that just creates a blurry, unprofessional, irritating video. She must have been very focused on watching and learning camera techniques when the Discovery Channel's people were working on their show.

The center cut is so good I don't even know if you need to cover it, if you do Bad Chad Chrome of course! I know that the car is tremendous work but, it will be so worth it. Jolene are you getting really excited yet or do you need it to get a bit closer to done before the real excitement kicks in?

  • @chas1355
    @chas1355 Год назад

    That firewall is beautiful. Not sure about using brass screws to attach it. Need to check about brass and aluminum possibly reacting and causing corrosion. Might think on polished stainless screws or bolts. It you can get to them from the back side might do small stainless bolts that have rounded heads without slots or maybe button heads with the hex center. Those would look very correct for that time period. If you wanted something very exotic you could use gold plated stainless or titanium in plain or some color. Might need to order in some samples to see what looks good. Also, have you thought about some protection for the firewall and cam covers. Aluminum will oxidize over time and get dull. You could have the parts anodized. Would want to do a sample to see what effect that may have on the look. Wouldn't want anything to take away from the appearance. This car can have all kinds of ideas for eye candy.
