What I love the best about Chad, is he is aware of all the "experts" that make comments. He knows there are endless ways to go at a project, but he clearly is unapologetic to those who think it should be done differently as he should. He's not here to do things your way. It's his channel, his car and he has nothing to apologize for. I am glad he is staying true to who he is and what he knows, which is a shit ton more than most. I like how he gets after it and when he makes a mistake, he admits it and rolls with it. I appreciate that attitude and outlook. What you see here is the real deal. Authenticity is hard to come by these days and it is refreshing to see things raw and real. Keep being you, because it works.
I have noticed that the subscriber count has slowed somewhat. I have always been excited to see our hometown boys' channel grow. Back just yonder when they were really going at the finishing touches on the brown car, the numbers really grew. I get the feeling that Chad is going through all his junk heaps and bringing them up to a point of...good inventory....i see the benefits to that, and I think it gives him satisfaction. Maybe bringing one of the many in the waiting lane back in for the same finishing touch would put you well on the way to 500k.
@lukeandjilljelsma654 only for a flash....I think they need a steady progress session. I watch Diesel Creek...and that's what he does or DD Speed Shop.
I think he said he wasn't going for the clean look? He said he was going to leave the rust look because it would be more work than what it's worth. I could be wrong I thought I heard say that when it was still on the trailer.
I watch every night, amazed at how you put your vision to reality without difficulty. I just wonder why people make negative comments when all they have to do is go watch something else. Please just keep doing what you do and know that most of us enjoy what you do. I look forward to this show everyday.
Chad you are the car communities Bob Ross! Jolene and yourself are amazing people! Thank you both for your hard work and dedication to educate and entertain us gear-heads.
I'm pretty sure the sawing motions/Kabuki with the 'sawzall' are actually a disadvantage. Just plant the foot of the saw against the most solid surface at the cut and let the saw do it's work. All tha motion and twisting/bending just breaks blades and messes up the teeth that are trying to get a bite on the pillar.
I don't use the sawzall ofter but I learn that after breaking some blades to rest it against the fence and let the blade do the work. If you don't rest it against the fence the teeth will grab and pull it's hard to control it if you don't
I'm watching every you do during the chop. Your giving me more confidence in attempting to chop a 1934 Chevy truck. I've watched every episode of my Dream Team and now Doug and Nathan have joined your team. Keep up the great content. Hope to meet you both someday
I think the front is too low, but I didn't watch the entire video, I just did a quick look at the progress and what he had at the end. Thing about custom cars is the guy building it (or the customer paying for it) get to decide. When I worked at Barris Kustom we made what I thought were some really ugly cars. I mentioned that to Jay Orberg one day and he told me "There's an ass for every seat" and that made sense to me because those who were paying us got what they wanted.
When I was a young man I got to spend a couple years learning under a famous hot rodder! He had plans on how to chop any of the old cars right up to the late 60s! All the measurements were laid out! I kept a complete set that have been such a time saver!
Whatever has happened in Chad’s past (is relevant) has lead to his significant success over the past 2 decades. Jolene and he have created the most unique car related show on the internet.
Full Custom Ian, Vice Grip Garage, Caseys Customs, there's many custom car builds from junk on RUclips, so many I've lost count, now back to work on my own 38 Ford Deluxe
Great photography and thank you Chad for being a great teacher. I’m at home out in my driveway doing stuff I never would’ve attempted. Had it not been for you.
I have a 34 Plymouth Coupe, they don't need to be chopped at all, the Windshield is barely 9" tall in the middle, they look awesome stock. A Ford yes, but never a Mopar, don't do it, I'll buy it off you stock.
Jolene you are a very special lady and there is not many that likes to work on cars. God bless you dear and Chad you are a lucky man to have someone as special as Jolene. God bless and have a blessed evening and night
So great to share your knowledge about chopping cars with everyone, you make it look a lot easier than i thought it would be. Awesome video for anyone wanting to give it a go.
One good thing about being an automotive surgeon is our patients never complain or feel any pain 😊 Hey Chad after subscribing and watching multiple video's I've realized you're very skilled and have a lot of old school techniques millennials believe are wrong and obsolete, but working on older vehicles it completely applies, thanks
That was a nice clean easy chop Mr. I especially like how you slid the back of the roof down into the rear cowl, if everything is good back there, that can set a lot of parameters and once you set the legal windshield height, the rest is cut n fill. Nice, I like the Way you go after something like that. Spending more time looking at it and making decisions than the time spent cutting it down. I worked on a 35 once that had the cloth roof panel replaced with steel like that one, if I could have gotten a new drip rail to replace the welded one I would have. Was about 86 and things like that were one off made. I ended up making a double length sanding board 😮 so I could get a decent job done on the giant shrink job and some leaf around the perimeter. I would consider replacing that if it's as warbled up as my job was and put the cloth back in. Classy looks. And Who doesn't love suicide doors. What's the minimum for windshield now ? 5". 7". Be cutting down the blades too! Ha! Cool chit buddy, never seen it done that fast and clean before. Good work. 🎉🎉❤
With Terrible Chad his most of his builds are less than desirable, hate to say it but Chad always look completely tired & worn-out..... I hope he's okay but doesn't appear well rested with those big bags under Chad's eyes 😢 Vacation can do wonders !
Hey Chad..keep up the awesome work..blows my mind when I read through some of the comments..so many arm chair quarter backs with negative comments...you are brilliant and proven to be a master..keep it up!!😁😁😁👍👍👍
I admit that I loved this vehicle greatly standard.!!! But I have to admit that I'm kinda likeing it more after the chop ,Chad this has been my favorite clip so far.. Chad showed us a very detailed and accurate roof chop.. I was surprised with the placement of each cut, But it became apparent this is valuable knowledge ,A skill Chad taught so well. I'm looking forward to seeing the next part.. excellent content Jollieen and Chad That was enjoyable from beginning to end "what a great Peace of knowledge you have sheared today !!!! " Thank you sincerely "👈🤪👍
You have inspired me to go for it! I now have a truck thats not going to break now because i went for it. Between you and Making mistakes with Greg , i can now weld. Im am not good at it but im learning an going for it at the same time! thanks Team Hiltz!
When welded back all the under structure not welded only outsides where its seen never as strong.See the toughness in front posts cant get that back in middle.
To all the negative Nancy's you forget you are watching Chad and Jolene create art. It is a personal vision meant for their own pleasure. Could you imagine if there were a comment section for Noah when he was building the Ark , he would have never gotten it done. Oh well might have been a good thing. To Chad and Jolene you just keep living your dream and thanks for sharing. Signed : The rest of us.😃
Well firstly , there was no Ark . He wouldn’t have got it done in 30 years without a crew of 20 people working none stop , and then 2 years of food storage for EVERY animal on Earth but we get the point . You want no criticism, no matter if there is relative input . I can tell ,you have never touched a wrench or done anything that resembles this alley of work or projects. In short , save it .
The old guys from Haslet Texas are throwing sparks and watching your show. First thing we turn on after the lights. Love the way you guys explain everything. Only one complaint, we want to see more Jolene face time!!! lol Keep up the good work and if you ever find yourself in the great state of Texas you and the family are always welcome here.
Nice and simple! The front windscreen looks cool, but in my opinion, it will be hard to drive any length of time due to visibility. It'll look good at the drags, though!
Sometimes Chad will take a restorable, nearly complete beautiful classic car and chop it up. It's difficult to watch and i wouldn't do it yet he often has great results. In this case it's a bare shell with tons of potential. I say go for it. It's going to be great.
I love when people don't no how to use a sawzall it's not a hacksaw u don't move it back and forth put the peace your cutting right up to the stop on the saw and let it cut the saw is made to do the work 😂
I know how to use one sort of a master if I may say so myself but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make the cut. I have done the exact same thing that he's was doing pal. So don't come on here to hate.
@@Aaronlewis8846 lmao not hating at all just find it funny they are not made to be used that way and then people wonder why it won't cut like it should I have mush respect for Chad and what he does he does great work and support what he does and watch all the time it was no disrespect to him by no means just maybe a little education to him if we was to read this is all
@mikesautomaintenance5780 well I'm glad you're not hating. But sometimes in situations you may have to do something like that just to get the blade to work again. Done it many times. Now if he was doing that with out pulling the trigger on the saw saw I'd be cracking the hell up and yelling at the screen at the same time. Lol
@@johnwade5747 true but that's why they make different length blades for example if he has a 6" on there for that post it would of worked perfectly and would of use the hole blade like it's meant to be used

make sense if you think it's junk.
@@josecanyousee56 😀
Dolly out the dents on the roof when you have the top off instead of waiting until the top is back on and hard to reach
why ??? that would be to easy.
You always take the dents out first before you cut anything.

Plus he needs to add a body saw to his arsonal made just for that it's a small hand held saw foe sheet metal.
Leave the damn dents in it.

I believe the chop should have been 1 tape width

Chad chops, modifies, and welds! If you want to see more body work and paint, subscribe to a channel that does just that. Let the man create!!!

Totally agree, I have a 33 Plymouth five window and was thinking the same….
Hinge pin alignment is critical to this chop.
Jolene you are a very special lady and there is not many that likes to work on cars. God bless you dear and Chad you are a lucky man to have someone as special as Jolene. God bless and have a blessed evening and night
So great to share your knowledge about chopping cars with everyone, you make it look a lot easier than i thought it would be. Awesome video for anyone wanting to give it a go.
Will you make the roof low like every time, or will you replace it with the roof of another car? I prefer that the roof remain as it is originally.
Chad, just subscribed. I love what you are doing; teaching the next generation the old school skills. Keep doing what you’re doing.
after the 4" chop the rear window will only be about 2" tall and after rubber window molding it wont be worth having

It doesn’t matter how you do it. You do your specialty. Chop, chop, chop. Just can’t leave things be.
Shame to loose that shape, seems to me to be great as it was, but his car! Hope it all looks good in the end. From a Sunny England.
It's also a shame that you can't spell lose.

Hey Fellow BIG HEAD BUDDY
It’s always gratifying when electrics come together! Nice job!
you make it so easy love the work
I personally like them chopped. no doubt Chad is going to make it look awesome.
I hated to see that body chopped, but it's your car and apparently the chopped look is the only look Chad likes.
When welded back all the under structure not welded only outsides where its seen never as strong.See the toughness in front posts cant get that back in middle.
Please only do 1 tape width !!!! Too squat if double tape. You don't make salt flat cars.
The Plymouth is going to be a really cool car when it's finished.
Will never br finished
Nice job, keen to see how this turns out! Will be back tomorrow

Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Chad I am a new I am amazed at the super confident way you tackled that and made it look just like second nature to you.Great!!!
❤I know you and Jolene will make the car look great 👍👍
Nice work team!
Thank you Chad and Jolene
The back is perfect but I would bring the front up closer to the rear, that is to much of a rake. Looking cool though 😎
If the dash is centered it's a 33 , if it has a instrument panel and glove box it's a 34
The only good answer ;)
Looks to be a 33 dodge, the instrument panel is not oval as in the plymouth s ,but flat sided but curved top and bottom

Good show, love the running dialog, live camera and Jolene’s occasional tips 🙌
cool vid, always a super fun watch!
Love how you present it as “it’s just metal let’s cut it”. Sometimes we tend to over think things.
Kind of like Bob Ross, no mistakes just happy accidents.
Those Plymouths are nice, all steel!
Thats a cool idea it works
Can't wait to see this. Very nice chop.
Wow that was really the cleanest roof chop. Love the look of the drastic slam in the front. Always doing amazing work. Chad your an artist

i frickin love that heavy rake on the roof ... i know it wont be that way but still looks wicked

No disrespect to Bad Chad,but Mike Bello seems to have an arsenal of tools and equipment to get the job done efficiently.
