Hi CHAD, please don't be offended in anyway, I have been a hot rod builder in the England since 1976, I don't agree with your method of welding the brackets in the position that you have chosen. You see you must jack the axle up to the half way position so that when you weld the the bracket on the rod is straight, when it is down lower the rod is longer, so that when it comes up level it pushes the axle over slightly, probably a quarter of an inch, I think that you will understand what I am saying. I love the way you work you are a very clever man, I watch everyday you remind me exactly of myself when I was your age. Take care Pete.
I am a little confused why you mounted the trailing arms, pan hard bar and shocks with a single tab? A tab on both sides so it would have double shear would be the way to go on this.
Hey Chad, You had said, a few videos ago, that you were thinking of teaching 6 teens to build a car. I think that's a hell of an idea. You would be a great teacher. Your teaching a lot of us now in your videos. Everything that I have watched was very helpful. Thank you for your time and knowledge. Love your work and videos.
Oh yeah back on the Bugatti...Elvis getting done....love how jolene gets right in there close to the action...Chad just explains things so well..ive learned so much in the whole time I've followed the channel..stuff I always had questions on...so appreciative of you both and your friends...my only regret is I don't live nearby..thanks to you chad and jolene and Zack
Zach I do not know what level body and frame technician you are .. I've been doing body and frame for 41 years. You are one blessed young man to be working under someone like brad .. . The only way I could explain it for the viewers who watch you guys videos ..would be like hitting the lottery. To have brad as your teacher like Just a knowledge he's going to be able to teach you ...you couldn't put a price on it..... The word i of the day is ( priceless )
Your panhard bar vs Watts linkage. With watts linkage the rear end would have virtually no movement side to side from full extend to full compress. Your panhard bar will cause the rearend to move slightly toward the drivers side when at full extend or compress. The longer the bar, the less movement. In your case, if the bar was only 2 feet long, the movement would be about a 1/3 of an inch, and if the bar was 3 feet long, the movement is about 1/4 of an inch.
I agree with "65 CJ5" on the placement he mentioned. I also agree with "custom creations" comment that single tabs are not going to be strong enough. Two tabs should be used for the top mounts, one placed on each side of shock bushings. The bottom mount appears to be good, it's thick metal and has bends in its structure that give it more strength. If this setup is not changed from the way it is all tacked into place now, the mount that is on the driver's side is more inwards than the passenger side shock mounts. The same distance the passenger side shock tab is from the housing was used. The shock tabs should have been located away at the same distance as the passenger side tabs are from the airbag mounts or from the wheels.
This episode shows the multi talent sides of Chad. He is not only expert at body work, but also his talents in fabrication as to figuring out the rear suspension. He is also a very good teacher for Zach and all of us. He is also a very good shop foreman to explain what he wants and how he whats if done. Keep it real Jolene, Chad, Zach. and Fina. Bill
the shock absorbers are more effective when they are as close to the wheel as possible and they should tilt inwards a little which means they come upright when cornering nice project
Yes but I think the important thing is that we are learning this is work that we can do ourselves. A lot of this mechanical work is new to Chad so we are all learning together.
@65 CJ5 No, it’s not acceptable at all. Hopefully anyone thinking they can follow all of Chads advice will also listen to him when he says he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Personally I think a disclaimer and a short speech should be at the beginning of every video. I think he should mention these are not “how to” videos, and also stress that people understand he doesn’t follow safety rules. His shop would not be allowed to operate legally here in the states. I’ve been fortunate to learn and work with some of the best craftsman in the world. There’s no way I could retain everything I was taught, and at my age it doesn’t matter much anymore. I tend to take things for granted sometimes. At first I thought it was odd he didn’t know how cars operate. My guess is that he got a very late start. I could be wrong but I think people would appreciate his honesty.
@@i8ntnuts you are right man.. been building cars since i could remember with my brothers in our shop since the early 90s . but alot of chads work is questionable.
I'm confused about the placement of the shocks. Why not put them on the outside of the air ride since the square tube brace will come off? Also, the current placement of the shocks are off center since the differential is off center. Shouldn't they both have been up next to the inside of the air ride to keep the the same distance from the outer edge?
I think this channel is more about trying to inspire people to try and do things on their own. Chad mentions from time to time that he doesn’t always know what he’s doing. As a kid I remember a journeyman telling me “when I was your age I couldn’t even spell welder, and now I are one”. There are lots of good tips etc. on these videos but it’s up to each of us to use our own common sense. I see “car guys” as one big giant family. Chad has also mentioned several times that he appreciates the viewers tips and comments.
I don’t know maybe. It’s probably too late for him to learn by looking. I’m not even sure if they have automotive classes anymore for this type of basic stuff. Surely there must be some local hot rodders in his area. You would think one of them would come and bail him out
I made a little expensive mistake yesterday.. I had a driveline cut down 1 inch to short.. I needed a 57 inch for my short bed chevy but ordered 56 inch yoke to yoke. So I'm down 182 bucks. But I woke up healthy so I'm happy! Thanks Chad and Jolene. Stay happy and keep truckin. If we ain't learning we ain't living I guess.
Shocks should be as far apart on the axle , slightly inclined inwards to compensate for the axle swing on the panhard rod . I think that it would be better to put them just inboard of the chassis on the axle and inclined inwards at the top. Could be talking out of my ass but having built and modified a few cars it has always worked for me. Most vehicles have the shocks mounted where the springs are fitted to the axle , it makes them give a better ride . Just saying !
Panhard rods are generally level with the weight of the complete car on its wheels. Because you have a diff with a removable rear cover, it would be difficult (but not impossible) to use a watts link, which would be my choice. Watts links are generally centred on a pivot welded to the rear of the diff.
Chad I was taught to weld in the direction that the torch is aimed. You weld backhand which gives a neat weld but less penetration. Also the short radius rods which are solidly located at the axle will not work. Try jacking one wheel when you can and you'll find the whole chassis moving up as you lift. The rear end is now like a giant sway bar except it will not twist. Handling will be dangerous. IT WILL NOT WORK. PLEASE BELIEVE ME. You also need a plate on both sides of the heim joints as the pushing and pulling of the sway bay will either bend the bolt or loosen the nuts. Make sure they are high tensile bolts. Just because something looks neat doesn't mean it's correct.
I've given up with trying to help this train wreck from going off the rails in every episode. The real dangerous part is all these people that are learning to do everything....EVERYTHING wrong. Chad should state up front on each episode a disclaimer that he is an ARTIST, not a mechanic, bodyman or engineer! If this beautiful wannabe Bugatti ever gets up to freeway speeds it will be accident waiting to happen on the first pothole.
For a tv and youtube show that is so popular someone with engineering ability and qualifications should be overseeing what he does. I don't think any of us want to see his beautiful lady involved In an accident .
Great video Hiltz Team. Engineering the rear end has a lot more going on with it than the average people really think it has. Growing up I use to tear the rear end gears out of my 1962 Chevy Impala convertible 4 speed 327 engine every other weekend. So I was always dropping the drive shaft and pulling the aisle and then the broken ring and pinion gear, go find another one and see how long it would last. I got so fast at changing the ring ang pinion rears, I had it down to about an hour and 15 minutes in my dad's garage by in the 1970's, taking it out and putting the new one in and drive ready. Anyways, great job on the camera. Jolene
@Rich A. Parker The good old days rich. Just two days ago I tripped over an axle puller I made probably at least 50 years ago. I was going to toss it out but changed my mind. 61-62 Chev still great looking. I worked at the GM assembly plant in Van Nuys. I actually still have an nos t-10 for 61-2 409 bench car. So my guess is you had Castlers on the rear to keep stripping the pinion/ring. The 57 olds rear was a bolt in for some of the earlier leafspring cars. It was close enough anyway ha ha. They were darn heavy but sure were strong
Use the grinder the other way round so the spa rks aren't in your face, and put the guard back on- save your hands and fingers. That suspension is a bit of a lash up, the tabs and square stock will tear apart under load
Hi folks whoop, whoop. Back on the Bugatti. Look a Zack's face man like he hasn't been waiting for this moment to work on this beautiful beast. And Jolene on the 📷📸 itching to get in the driver seat to power up this incredible creation. Good on you guys and lady.
@65 CJ5 I think so too. Something like a late model Chevelle would have been a perfect donor car for this Bugatti project. Even the wiring harness could have been bought over the counter
Zack is definitely an asset to your shop. Seems to be an ambitious fast learner!!! Rock and roll and hot rods go hand in hand. I too have been playing guitar and hot rodding now for 45 years!!!
Glad to see the Bugatti move forward. This is why I started watching this channel four years ago. You have done a lot of great projects since. Can't wait to see this one on the road. Keep up the great work!
The Bugatti is coming along nicely. Time to get it ready for paint and assembly. Go for it Chad and Zack. Jolene is amazing with her camera work every day.
Right? That body style has so much potential! I wouldn’t be surprised if Chad doesn’t have some seamless tubing laying around in his yard. 1-1/2” might slide right over 1” sq tubing.
Looks great, dunno much about air ride.. but the bag is 8 inches.. will it collapse the whole 8 or will material still be bunched up ?.. just a thought. but again, the shock will only let you go so far...... keep on keeping on Chad
All right Itsssssss Friday and Back on the Bugatti sure is nice to see you back on Jolene's car and bet she is happy Too .. great job you 2 do bringing us these videos . Hats off to both of you
The shocks will be more effective further out towards the hub great stuff Chad and Zach Jolene 👍 keep it up looks like you have a busy winter on your hands
Seems to me if the mushroom is not central, then one of the shocks is not in the right place. Should have measured from the side of the chassis. Just a thought
Another Great Video!! Chad Explains Every Step! .. How Could We NOT LEARN!! ... Jolene Gives Us Excellent Camera Work! ... Zack Stays Focused On Grinding The Merc Dash! .. I Just Love You Guys!!!.
Love the imagination and uniqueness as usual... just curious if you ever considered tig welding to save labor and materials, or is there other factors? Your shortened Caddy is my favorite. That would be the perfect car for a Godzilla movie!
Chad and jolene the build is coming along great but you said that the pumpkin is over to one side and you welded the shocks a quarter inch to the pumpkin surely one of the shocks is welded in the wrong place you should have measured from the wheels each side . Hopefully it doesn't matter cause they are only dampers .keep up the great work all of you 👍
That rear end could use some walnut shell blasting, or baking soda, something that will clean it up without removing any material.., just found this channel recently, kind of trying to figure out their deal, Chad seems to be an awesome builder, I’d love to see their car collection, or pictures of their recent builds..,
I look forward when go back to working on the Bugatti. I cant wait to see it finished, Jolene is probably thinking the same thing. I do like the different projects you work on and the differant peices of equipment you show us. Keep up the good work you do.
Dang Chad those are some nice welds for a mig while bent over and under the chassis. Shows the years of experience you’ve had with that torch in your hand.
I'm always impressed at how much you accomplish by yourself so It's good to see you have help again and watch how much more you get done...Zach is doing a great job helping!
Yes and the farther from the wheel they are, the less effective they become. All in all I think if the car can be driven down the road it will be good enough for them.
@65 CJ5 It might be just as easy or as fast for you or I, but I don’t think it’s quite as easy for Chad. He needs to spend some time working around some good people with lots of experience. I don’t know why someone in the area hasnt offered to give him a hand. Surely there must be some local car builders
I usually see the pan hard bar is put on behind the axle so there is no interference with the third member when it goes up and down. Just sayin. Good luck Chad I know you'll get it.
Hi CHAD, please don't be offended in anyway, I have been a hot rod builder in the England since 1976, I don't agree with your method of welding the brackets in the position that you have chosen.

I set my panhard bar level at highway ride height where I want to cruise not necessarily half travel of airbag

Even though I'm an old guy I still learn new things while watching you. Zack is lucky to work along with you and seems to be a quick study.
It would be fun to work with Chad for a week or two. :)
Another great video thanks guys
Have seen shockers mounted one pointing forward and the other side pointing rearward. I'm not sure why, but food for thought.
i'm anxious to see this car finished and Jolene driving it down the highway.
That’s all I’m waiting for
This will be a good show with Chad, Jolene, Fina & Zack. Good to see work on the Bugatti again.
Jolene is probably happy. Love the show.
Panhard rods are generally level with the weight of the complete car on its wheels. Because you have a diff with a removable rear cover, it would be difficult (but not impossible) to use a watts link, which would be my choice. Watts links are generally centred on a pivot welded to the rear of the diff.
That crossmember looks a little light for the forces of the shocks and air ride. shocks would be better outboard of the air ride.
Is the square tubing on top of the rear suspension really strong enough.Just wondering??
Thank you for taking the time to help me understand Better welding techniques

There is welding then there is what chad calls welding they are worlds apart
@@Danny-2218 I like watching but it's hard not to comment when he is teaching dangerous methods.
Well said I completely agree

Never let those "Never use a cutting disk as a grinder " warnings from every disc manufacturer get in the way of a hurried job!
Hopefully Zach is lucky. Pop said there is a tool for every job.
@merckxamillian
This is the one car I was hoping would receive a decent suspension and running gear.
I think it would have been worth the investment.
@65 CJ5
I think so too. Something like a late model Chevelle would have been a perfect donor car for this Bugatti project. Even the wiring harness could have been bought over the counter
@merckxamillian
Maybe money is more of an issue than I realize. Still a donor car seems like a good choice. Probably the best choice really
Zack is definitely an asset to your shop. Seems to be an ambitious fast learner!!! Rock and roll and hot rods go hand in hand. I too have been playing guitar and hot rodding now for 45 years!!!
Another Chad master class in operation
Nice coverage, Jolene !
Glad to see the Bugatti move forward. This is why I started watching this channel four years ago. You have done a lot of great projects since. Can't wait to see this one on the road. Keep up the great work!
The Bugatti is coming along nicely. Time to get it ready for paint and assembly. Go for it Chad and Zack. Jolene is amazing with her camera work every day.
The Bugatti is sick! I have 4 links in both my cars 1300hp and 300hp cars. the 1by1 square tube will snap off 100% 1 1/2 dom tube
Right? That body style has so much potential!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Chad doesn’t have some seamless tubing laying around in his yard.
1-1/2” might slide right over 1” sq tubing.
I think you made a boo boo buddy. The bottom shock studs go in the other way. I believe that’s why you had to enlarge the holes
Oh wait, looks like it worked out nice. Nice job Chad!
You need to put the Pan-hard bar on at ride height. If you do it at full lift height, when it goes to ride high it’s going to push the axle over.
Jolenes bugatti will be awesome. The second bugatti I really like the look of as well
Looks great, dunno much about air ride.. but the bag is 8 inches.. will it collapse the whole 8 or will material still be bunched up ?.. just a thought. but again, the shock will only let you go so far...... keep on keeping on Chad
Fun.day of Bugatti time.
You need a mount on the inside of the shock so it’s in double shear.
All right Itsssssss Friday and Back on the Bugatti sure is nice to see you back on Jolene's car and bet she is happy Too .. great job you 2 do bringing us these videos . Hats off to both of you
The shocks will be more effective further out towards the hub great stuff Chad and Zach Jolene 👍 keep it up looks like you have a busy winter on your hands
I agree. Almost no damping effect in the middle. Just weld some flat plate to the back of the ladder bar brackets and hang the shocks off that.
Seems to me if the mushroom is not central, then one of the shocks is not in the right place. Should have measured from the side of the chassis. Just a thought
A lot of engineering in installing those suspension parts on the Bugatti - Chad !!!!
The Bugatti is coming along nicely
Great content ,always leaving us to wonder what tomorrows episode will be about.
Love the way your showing the progress of several projects
You are right. Chad put them on same distance from the diff housing but that is offset. Not much though, so may not affect it too much.!
I like your show and you build your cars your way and they are very cool looking.Your an artist Chad!!!🇨🇦🔥🔥
Looking forward to see the Bugatti painted… it’s getting closer!
Another Great Video!! Chad Explains Every Step! .. How Could We NOT LEARN!! ... Jolene Gives Us Excellent Camera Work! ... Zack Stays Focused On Grinding The Merc Dash! .. I Just Love You Guys!!!.

I love these Bugatti's that you are building, great job!
all the projects are coming along great!
I learn new things all the time watching your video's with Jolene's expert camera work! Thanks to the both of you for allowing us to watch and learn.
Dominating smashing it great job mate your an awsome teacher
Chad and jolene the build is coming along great but you said that the pumpkin is over to one side and you welded the shocks a quarter inch to the pumpkin surely one of the shocks is welded in the wrong place you should have measured from the wheels each side . Hopefully it doesn't matter cause they are only dampers .keep up the great work all of you 👍
This is a beautiful car. The workmanship is beyond fantastic!
Glad to see you working on the Bugatti again!
I love the way he goes from one car to another and back to the other one that away it keeps it interesting
Awesome job guys just Awesome 👌
She's taking shape and looking great!
That vehicle is a thing of beauty!
Lots of work getting done, looking good
Love it ☺️
Love the videos, keep them coming...👍
Love seeing the progress on this car. A truly hand built work of art. :)
Zach is lucky to have such a patient mentor passing on your knowledge. Watching your videos gives me great ideas working on my project cars
Inspiring people and giving them ideas for their own projects I think is exactly what Chad wants to do
It's nice to see you're back to the Bugatti builder
glad to see work on the bugatti
That rear end could use some walnut shell blasting, or baking soda, something that will clean it up without removing any material.., just found this channel recently, kind of trying to figure out their deal, Chad seems to be an awesome builder, I’d love to see their car collection, or pictures of their recent builds..,
For real, not a single person hit “dislike” today. Finally! Yay! So cool to see all the stuff going on.
Great work! Suspension is coming along nicely!
Great job on the shocks and panhard bar. Thanks for sharing your time with us again today.😁
Rockin and rollin on the chassis. 👍
Bugatti time!
Nice job great work. Keep on pushing yourself is my motto try my best at everything I do.
So many on the go. Lots of variety. Love it 👍
I look forward when go back to working on the Bugatti. I cant wait to see it finished, Jolene is probably thinking the same thing. I do like the different projects you work on and the differant peices of equipment you show us. Keep up the good work you do.
Dang Chad those are some nice welds for a mig while bent over and under the chassis. Shows the years of experience you’ve had with that torch in your hand.
I'm always impressed at how much you accomplish by yourself so It's good to see you have help again and watch how much more you get done...Zach is doing a great job helping!
Chad thank you for the close up detailing of how you move the welding tip as you weld the thicker pieces of metal .
Jolene has a special talent. She always seems to be at the right place at the right time with excellent close-up work
one step closer to seeing jolene driving it. great job
Should be called
Hiltz Custom Coach Builder
Great job guys and kudos to Jolene for great camera work..
👋😎👍
Hi Jolene and Chad, glad to be here. Your both awesome people. I love your channel. Thank you
Onto the Bugatti again !parts are in yeah !
its good to see work on the Bugatti again every bit is a step closer .
Shock mountings should be equal distance from edge of frame not offset rearend, I think.
Yes and the farther from the wheel they are, the less effective they become. All in all I think if the car can be driven down the road it will be good enough for them.

It might be just as easy or as fast for you or I, but I don’t think it’s quite as easy for Chad. He needs to spend some time working around some good people with lots of experience. I don’t know why someone in the area hasnt offered to give him a hand. Surely there must be some local car builders
Great welding vid ... excellent camera work
glad to see the bugatti on
the move
I've learned more from watching your videos that's watching full welding tutorials online. Great content
Good welding tips today. Thanks
Glad to see you working on Jolene's car. You are a real multi-tasker 5 cars in progress
The panard bar should be level at ride height.
Loving all the hard work well worth it 👍
Chad that is a crazy looking car it's definitely one-of-a-kind can't wait to see some top coat Rock on
I usually see the pan hard bar is put on behind the axle so there is no interference with the third member when it goes up and down. Just sayin. Good luck Chad I know you'll get it.
I enjoy watching your program every day awesome progress on both vehicles can't wait to see them finished
looking good chad getting it done
nice work keep it up guys
