I have never even looked at that chrome because I thought it was just for door edges and stuff like that. My mind is blown, you guys are both amazing people, wish nothing but the best for you both
That dash is absolutely gorgeous !!! I am so inspired by your videos, please keep more videos coming .
The paint, the chrome the total design is amazing! Creativity is in your blood! Another enjoyable time spent watching your RUclips Channel!
Congrats Jolene and all the voters for getting back to 1st place in the Miss Jet Set standings!
Don't forget to vote everyone!!
Another creative idea, looks stunning and is a real throw back to the 50's era, can't wait for the side pieces to be added and painted/chromed. Great work as always BOTH of you

Bad chad
Lol
The color of the cluster is perfect ! Ties everything together . So cool . The eye on the budget is how i was raised . Thank you Both & Fina too .
Nice how its comming together. That dash already looks like a masterpiece of Chad! Cant wait to see when its done.
I used this on the outside of my new Yorker and it worked well as long as long as i I sealed the edges with clear finger nail polish to keep moister from getting into it
Amazing the look Chad gets using inexpensive materials and some good know how!
the dash chroming turned out beautifull love it cant wait till the car is done ,color choice is great
Chad did a great job with the dash yesterday. jolene was able to do a very excellent video of the untaping process. Keep on with it. Joene i hope your back is getting better.
You are the1 Chad keep it up you 2 Jolene
"Anybody can be creative. All you have to do is use your own brain." Great quote.
looking forward to another outstanding installment of the Chad and Jolene show!
For over a year and a half 2 o'clock in the afternoon has been my time with Chad and Jolene it's been a great run and hopefully it will keep going, He never ceases to amaze me
I have to say no to the plastic chromeish strips. Sorry, just me saying.
No one asked for your opinion.
It’s funny, when I was around 12 in 1969. I had a cousin that lived in Buffalo NY and he loved as he called them “hot rods”. Listening to you talk reminds me of how he sounded with the accent. I know he would have loved your channel! But unfortunately he passed in the late 70’s after an accident in a 6 wheel amphibian at 32 years of age. The reminder is sad, but happy at the same time. Thank you!
Really wonderful! I am curious how well the chrome trim holds up to heat. Just love your work Chad!
I put this chrome tape on the grille of my '77 Shorty Dodge Van almost a year ago. Still looks great.
Absolutely amazing how something so cheap can make something look like a million dollars. Well done Chad. Voting time for Jolene now. Cheers everyone
you're an artist!!! Teaching other on "who to" is a gift
I have been using chrome strips for many years. Saved money and it comes out better then factory. Good show Chad 👍
You know, not everyone needs to agree all of the time. That's what makes this world interesting. Sometimes I don't agree with the styling you do, we're different in some ways. BUT MAN THAT DASHBOARD IS AMAZING! And that Buddy, is why I watch your channel. Carry on.
most reasonable products+ talent, and crreativity... priceless, great job chad.
Here is what we did in the van conversion industry for moldings. We made a wood box 2'x2'x2' with a lid hinged. Then we put a 60 watt bulb set up on the inside of the lid, centered. We would then put the molding in the box. Turn on the light and leave the molding in the box for 30 to 45 min. This will make the molding pliable to go around corners and odd or different shapes. Then when the molding cooled. It would keep it's shape. Plus it helps with activating the adhesive to help stick better. Hope this might help you out on applying molding to what ever. Peace and love......
Chad, try cutting your air bag tubing with a single-sided razor blade at a perfect 90 degree angle using a clean metal backing to guarantee a nice clean trouble-free connection ... also, always blow out the brass fittings before using them to make sure they are perfectly free of any "junk" particles ! ... Another "A+" for all your videos ... You two are the very bestest !!!
There are millions of videos that tell how to do stuff. You showing us technique in real time explaining what you are doing and why is top notch. Thanks. It is said, "behind every good man is a good woman", in this case I say Joleen is standing right next to you, not behind.
Very creative and a smart way of adding the BLING back to this beautiful piece!
You continue to break the sides of "the box".... thank you Sir! Love it !!
That dash looks amazing. I have used that chrome for years.
It's your car to do what pleases you.
Never was a big fan of chrome but you have made a custom look using the chrome tape, I can dig that. :)
Brad, you're so very right. You don't give your ball cap to a collector give it to someone that is going to wear it. At my old shop, we would products like this. Just because of the cost of sending something out to get it re-chromed, and the wait time. We couldn't meet their budget or the time they wanted it back by. 🤔
The Dash-pod is quite stunning. It is finely crafted. Creativity is your specialty. It's an area you are gifted in. Both you and Jolene are quite talented in your video and car production. Thanks so much for your hard work, time and dedication! A fantastic video adventure.
With those colors and that crome it really has that fifties fill and look. Looks amazing
"Chroming" without the absurd cost and nasty chemicals. That's a win-win!!! Looks terrific.
You have amazing vision and are truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talents!
I love what you are doing with the dash, stunning..and suits the car body!
What you're doing besides creating beautiful rolling art, is demonstrating to people that if they want to they can do the same. You very inspiring 👍👍👍👍👍
Enjoyed your creativity and showing an alternative method of placing a chrome accent to your vehicle.
thanks for brining us along for this great build... Love to watch the way you work
Looks great, I recommend using 3m 94 primer it comes in a nail polish style bottle we use it on motorcycles to help with vibration and heat..another awesome video
The colors look amazing together.
That's a cool looking dash to look at cruising down the road 👍👍
I first used that chrome about 20 years ago! And I took it one step further! I used Blue-Red-Purple-green-&-gold anodized spray paint! Over the chrome in ginger light coats! Then I striped out my Harley gas tank.
The chrome tape looks great, I've Been using it for years to add to and dress up striping packages as a 3M Trim-Line distributor there were 150 distributors across Canada up until 1992 when 3M withdraw the name from use and we became independents. Thanks Mark Dutka Oakville Ontario Canada
Looks awesome. I have used this "Flex Chrome" before and I love it. I have a Very high-end Deuce Roadster and I used this adhesive Flex chrome for the center strip on the 3 piece hood because it is the hot rod hood with no center hinge, unlike the 4-piece stock style "Butterfly" hood .
I am looking at the picture of the dash before the video has even started and it looks really nice!! Well done.
Love watching Bad Chad & Queen Joleene. Thanks for all you do to teach skills that no one else does. I'm greatfull and know many others are as well . Many thanks to you and Joleene. This info is so valuble to gear heads .
This is got to in my opinion one of the best if not the best build so far
Beautiful job Chad and joline it's going to be a dream car
The dash is looking SPECTACULAR!!! I am very partial to satin black and chrome. They always look "rich" together!!
The dash turned out amazing!!! Elvis is coming alive infront of our very eyes!!!
Great job, Have learned a great deal for my 72 GMC short bed Pro street ,Thanks for all the time you both take to do all of the videos !!!!
I wrapped mine with mirror chrome after sanding and filling the pits. 3M ORACAL and it's made in Canada, hey what about that. this is my 43 year doing interior on automobiles . It a must to learn how to find alternative ways to create a different way to make it happen. really like seeing you perform .
Back in the day are used to work for a chrome plating company. And you’re right on your prices. I was able to chrome all of my stuff for free when I worked there. It was awesome I loved it. But anyway I love the stick on chrome.
That chrome Speedo looks great. Creativity is what started hot rodding
Nice work chad , do what you do and don’t listen to the negative feedback , the proof is in the finished product and you always deliver ,
Hi Chad and Joline !
What a great job on the dash , i like the philosophy about doing things your way no matter what anybody says!
speak of creative! I worked on a 66 Falcon dash panel. The chrome on the bezels always rubs off over time!!! SOOOOO I took a look at the CHROME MODEL AIRBRUSH PAINT! Valehjp chrome actually, must be used same as you have done here over the black base, allow it to dry well 24hrs then I cLEARED OVER THE TOP, STILL LOOKS GOOD AFTER MANY YEARS! HEY IT WORKED FOR ME!
That's the thing about this channel that appeals to me, you find a way of using your talent to make what it takes to get the job done, the essence of hot-rodding
Started Looking at your work, and I love it. being in body work myself for years I totally agree with you. because this is how I work. and great video
The satin black and chrome look amazing!
Coming along beautifully....another vote for Jolene today
This show is the best car building show on youtube
I did this on my grille of my SUV, never really thought about using it anywhere else. Oh the possibilities😆
Man that is the best color for Elvis! Well done you and Jolene!.
Elvis is going to be a stunner the dash is beautiful enjoying the builds watching from Kenai Alaska
Man. I'm loving that I found your videos. Your attitude and drive to be doing something you want to do, has me doing it on off time.
I've used the 3/4" plastic chrome to replace the missing stainless steel "bang rail" on an old wooden boat. This boat was on public display at numerous boat shows and, after at least 7 years , only one person ever asked about the attachment screws that weren't there !!!
That end cap looks good plain,. Just saying.!!
I know your chrome works , will pull paint primer all off if you just pull it off without heating it
Chad stick a piece of 3m tape on the chrome backing then pull that off brings the red plastic off with it.
Try two or three wider pieces with a thinner piece in the valley between them, looks great too.
Hopefully the chrome wont fade over time, you have done such a good paint job.
That dash turned out amazing , love the use of the stick on chrome . Turned out so cool
I like your attitude, Bad Chad. Your style and creativity is unique. Keep it up, Sir.
That crome looks awesome again the colours of the paint Chad and jolene. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏
Not only is it innovative it also looks great. It also has depth doing it with the 1/8 wide and not something like s1/4 inch.
I used sum of this stuff 1/4 inch on my camaro's console,,looks absolutely gorgeous,,
The dash looks awesome, the chrome is genius !!! Nice move !!
Great minds think alike? Great idea which is right in line with the major automobile manufacturers who've been using more and more plastics for years.
Love how that dash is coming together.
thanks for letting us watch how you make these great vehicles
You gotta the right ideas. Great looking and creative and budget friendly
Elvis always did like his jewelry. I hope Jolene is feeling better. Keep up the great work.
great inspirational words Chad ! I`m on the road to work on antique cars and always watch positive people like you, I hope to visit your shop one day to meet you and same way if you ever come to Florida
You did a Chad, putting a little vertical piece in there really finished it off good idea.
that's amazing how great that chrome looks..
What a beautiful dash, I could spend many hours behind the wheel of that Merc! Great job Chad & Jolene!
I never thought of that! Inspiration for my project! Thank you!
Hangin on the wall behind the front door is a set of hubcaps to match your mldg on your dash 👍.
"Become CREATIVE"!! Great advice to live by!!!!!!
Love the way you keep it simplistic for people to see an awesome creation being made without all the high dollar stigma
Killer job....the white and coral looked awesome but the chrome made it pop that car is going to kick ass
Spoken like a true individual.Thanks Chad.Keep on trucking
The Chrome Striping You Are Using Is Awesome!!
Your dash is so bright, I gotta wear shades! Thanks for another great video 👍
