    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

      I put this chrome tape on the grille of my '77 Shorty Dodge Van almost a year ago. Still looks great.

  • @joetallon4968
    @joetallon4968 2 года назад

    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!

  • @jimw.4205
    @jimw.4205 2 года назад

    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 !!!

    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 .
