Yup all of the above, I have watched a little of a couple of his videos on the COE build, the one that got me was when he inventoried the fiberglass filler and bonded for the project I think it was 3 gallons fiberglass ahd either 4 or 6 bondo. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
 
I don't really care for a lot of his builds mainly due to the fact that like the COE he's onto now, they aren't really driveable except for him it would seem.:eek:
Credit where credit is due though.....
He living his dream and that's more then most people can say.
Peace out......

I'm with Torchie. I'm not a fan of most of his builds either. The cars are more art than something you would put much mileage on. As we all know, art is a very personal taste. His Bugattis's are cool. I find it amazing that he can see the beginnings of one in the car bodies he starts with. His personality is such he can't spend hours on a single panel on the English wheel or whatever. He gets his results with a minimum of specialized equipment. He keeps talking about getting things done quickly. I'm glad he is willing to display his techniques.
I could be wrong but I believe the radical customizers of the past didn't do much fine panel shaping and fitting. Not like the custom coach builder's did. Torchie would know better than me but I think they bent the metal to get it close and leaded or Bondo'd to sculpt the desired shape.
Anyhoo, I watch most every night even though his repetitiveness gets to me. I do learn from him. But I'm sure I'm a better chassis builder than Bad Chad.:D

Agreed. Sometimes I am scratching my head trying to figure out what in the **** he is doing, then it all makes sense after he does it. He has a way to keep me coming back.
 
There was a kids cartoon way back when my kids were young. Hercules and there was character on there that repeated everything thing a few times just like Chad, and they both really get under my skin.
 
Thereā€™s no end to it :eek
Must be the dry air[S

Yeah, anything tri-five here is crazy. A few months back there was a 55 210 2-door post for sale for $4,500. It needed new doors, rockers, fenders, bumpers, floors, trunk floor, trunk lid, grill, hood, and quarters. The seats weren't present and the glass was toast. It was a pile of rust sitting on a frame, you were buying a serial number and a roof, and everything else needed replacing.
 
You guys are in for a treat. I saw this on a local Facebook car sales group and had to share...

See the gas door? With that awesome looking metal work, I wonder how much bondo is hidden under the flat black...

The number of the same angles he posted is actually hilarious. I have seen guys advertising sweet hot rods for $100K that don't have a quarter as many photos [cl

Plus, you guys just had to see the "beauty" of this thing from every angle.
