My experience with Plexiglas or Acrylic panels is you must always tape a band wider than your jig saw to keep nibs from scratching the material. Use a metal blade with a medium tooth so it sheds the cuttings. Use a variable speed saw and clamp the sheet down to keep it from dancing up and down with the blade action.
So much is happening with the shop! This car is rad for sure! I really enjoy when you guys are out talking with people like the 95 y/o who owned the suburban. Kisses to Fina! Like watching Doug and Nate work too. Also try to catch Jims videos when I can...If he gets his lights figured out he can stop scratching the new paint...Cheers!
The only thing I don't like about this build honestly is how high the engine is and the funky angle of the driveshaft to the rear end differential that's really not the best angle and can cause problems down the road other then that this thing has been a cool build so far
At the risk of being labeled a hater, I cannot understand what he was trying to accomplish by mounting the engine so high in the frame, just a 4" drop would have certainly helped avoid a lot of problems. Those u joints are going to be under a lot of stress at that angle.
Car without legal document (car registration card)could be rework and put on road for use.That I observed the practice in Canada. Very lucky . In Malaysia if car document is missing and rightful owner has passed away or cant trace the owner the car will be scraped as scrap metal tq
I think it would have looked better to reattach the bottom of the grill after getting it cut down to size. You could have welded plate metal vertically from the front cross member and just inside both sides of the grill to support your grill there and at the bottom. The vertical plate steel then would have given you a robust mounting point for your headlights. The grill would have still looked complete and not looking like a raggedy sawed off mess. Just my opinion of course.
Enjoyed yesterdays vid as much as this one with the update on the 50's interior going in, remember that build the real haters said would never drive even though it came ready to run & stop!! Then some folks said Chad was invading Floyd's privacy filming him as he started the interior, those types who will comment that the properties grass needs cutting just to feel good for a bit on their sofa.........The HILTZ crew should get paided for some kind of thanks so your partners do no to have to suffer & pay for therapy.
Just want to say hi to Jolene and everyone and Chad you Nathan and Doug will figure everything out and do it right. Hope you all are having a blessed day. God bless and have a blessed evening and night
From the Netherlands, love to look and enjoy what i see. It all is some kind off beautifull workmanshift... all the total team.chad, Joline, Doug and Nate..
I love the headlights. Perfect look for the front end. I think they really make the look pop. The breather is too tall and plain. It maybe would look better lower profile or maybe higher, with one of those 3 red flap aluminum breathers. Love the flathead too. This is turning into a nice little rod! Please get glass for the windows, at least the front window.
Benefit of plexi is you can polish any scratch right back out of that bad boy, I cut plexi, lexan, acrylic with a 3” cutoff tool meant for anything really it’s like a mini circular saw and it’s handy as hell , rotozip is too messy and big teeth with light push helps a lot . You can cut that shit with a circular saw and sand the rounds out quick
Where the straight brace across the back of grille is that you want to attach the headlights to you can put in a v piece that follows the back of the grille.
Hey all! Front end is looking kool and I like the lights. Nice to see Fina girl getting some loving(Way to go Nate). Good job Doug and as alway's cute Jolene on the cam! hagd!
With the way you have the cooling system hooked up you may want to use a temp gauge on each bank to insure the left bank isn't overheating, or at least put the temp on the left bank if you only use 1 because my fear is the left bank will starve for coolant.
I enjoy watching the creativity with all builds. I love the look of this build for its end purpose. I can’t wait to see more work on other Bugatti sitting outside shop. Hoping to see future work on Plymouth car/truck, Cabover & Elvis also.
Absolutly love every part of this car except for the size of console and those crappy lil coil springs in the rear suspension. Outside of the rear springs you guys did a good job on rear suspension.
Chad if cutting plexiglass with a jigsaw use a metal cutting blade not the wood blade your using. It’s less aggressive and does not melt the plexiglass anywhere near as quickly. But better still use a dremil with the plastic cutting wheel. It’s like a knife through butter. GREAT JOB GUYS LOOKING AMAZING.
I wish Jolene had a device that allowed her to turn on/off each person's mic depending on who was explaining/discussing the work being done. I absolutely hate the cross-talk at times...
you should have notched the grille on the side and slid it 0n the front of the frame so you can use the whole grille. Lot cleaner look and could get that lean you wanted
Have you ever heard of a drill bit?? That would make things a lot easier at times.. I know you don’t like using a bunch of different tools, but making your life easier at times, can be worth it lol
@@jessasto947 You don’t know what a drillbit is?? I’m pretty sure that everyone knows what it is.. But you ALWAYS gotta have at least one smart ass in the group, and I’m guessing, that’s you…
@@edwardkeefer5471 So here you are calling him a smart a$$, and you ask do you know what a drill bit is? how strange that is.. actually you are the smart a$$.
@@marykay9188 No missy I’m not the smart ass, I was just suggestion for him to use a drill bit.. Which he should’ve already known that.. And I’m sure he did, but he doesn’t like to pull a bunch of tools out, even if it would make things easier for him.. So you can’t say that I was being a smart ass, when you don’t know how I meant it.. But by him making that comment to me, he was being a smart ass.. Just like you calling me the smart ass.. I didn’t mean it in a negative way.. Stay in your lane ma’am…
The only thing I don’t like about this build! I don’t own it! My absolute favorite Pair is the Bugatti and the Bugatti Hauler! I want to see the hauler run under its own power! Most unique build in my opinion! Love all the work! Thanks for keeping the Hobby Great!
You do amazing work Chad. And you are an awesome designer. And we really Love all the car's you build and Design Chad. And we really hope all of you would come back to TV again Chad. And we really miss seeing all of you on TV so very much. And we really wish Discovery would bring all of you back again
What kind of fenders are you going to put on it in the front or are you just going to leave them off. Because if I put fenders on it I would make it turn with the wheels.

I'm blown away by the transformation! This vintage car looks absolutely stunning after the restoration.
I really like to watch the whole team going at it, they get along very well and it seems like they are all lovin what they're doin
I'd leave the grill on an angle. It matches the body line on the front of the cab. Personal opinion only...
I personally prefer the original front end radiator shroud !
Hey Chad and crew, Chad Bosh makes a jig saw blade especially made for cutting plexiglass,I bought mine at Home Hardware in Ontario
Doug, just remember and think, Chad use to do all that stuff your doing by himself for years. Ur a worthy helper !
Use a cutoff disc on a small Dremel tool and you can cut a windshieid out in 3 or 4 minutes.
Just curious, is there enough space around the radiator to accommodate the electrical fan that Chad is planning to use?
I thought you were putting an electric fan in front of radiator

It'll never be driven on the road anyway
@@Bobsteven881Correct not a road car, its for Pinetree, a race car for 1 time a year for Jolene, so you are right.
@@marykay9188
i read the rules for pine tree drag race cars this car has several things that need to be changed
if you keep pushing the radiator cover back towards the radiator, where will the electric fans fit???
Every electric fan on radiators I’ve ordered come with the fans mounted on the back side not the front
On the inside!
Chad you seem to forget that you need room between the grille and the radiator for the thermofan.
He can't think mote then one step ahead .. that's why he didn't channel it when he realized the eng. Was to high ..
Electric fans get mounted on the back side of the radiator. Order a new radiator with pre mounted fans and I’ll bet you they come mounted on the back
Car without legal document (car registration card)could be rework and put on road for use.That I observed the practice in Canada.
Very lucky .
In Malaysia if car document is missing and rightful owner has passed away or cant trace the owner the car will be scraped as scrap metal tq
Love all your guys hard work! Special thanks to Dougles and Nate dog.
When cutting perspex with a jigsaw, always use a metal cutting blade.

I understand it’s all about content for CZcams, but seems a lot of time spent on a paddock basher/garden art🤯
Its Jolenes race car it makes her Happy
Dude, the build is moving along. I truly admire your talent. Your friends and co workers make a great combination to work with.
That grill and headlights looked really good
Chad you had a good looking hot rod going untill you butchard that grill ...... The grill is the jewelary of a hot rod.... wow

Just want to say hi to Jolene and everyone and Chad you Nathan and Doug will figure everything out and do it right. Hope you all are having a blessed day. God bless and have a blessed evening and night
If you slope the radiator back to be parallel with that firewall seam body line, it gives the car a more '34 look.
Man you all are having too much fun building this hot rod!
Harry from NFLD, I enjoy watching this build ,the boy’s are great at what they do.keep them in line Joelene!
I would say if Jolene is going to drive it, you should have her sit in it to see how she fits.
From the Netherlands, love to look and enjoy what i see. It all is some kind off beautifull workmanshift... all the total team.chad, Joline, Doug and Nate..
Use an oil luricant while cutting plexiglass and aliminium.and use blade just a tad finer than that one .oil lube is the trick
Those headlights look amazing, nice match!❤❤
I love the headlights. Perfect look for the front end. I think they really make the look pop. The breather is too tall and plain.

One heck of a crew they can do it all, great build
the Grill should have been shortened not cut off.
The front cross bar could have been relocated so the grill fit between the rails
Doug had lots of fun cutting the plexiglass today. Nate is good at making things work out and functional. The grill is coming along also.
Nice to see everyone just going ham and getting stuff done
Great team work. 😎👍
The front grill looks good, the big headlights look very good
Oh boy...are you gonna cop some anger, outrage and hate for cutting up that old grille 🤣👍.
Car is looking like an awesome 'old school' hotrod 👌
Where the straight brace across the back of grille is that you want to attach the headlights to you can put in a v piece that follows the back of the grille.
Poor Doug I sure as hell hope you bought him some cold ones after that nightmare 🍻🍻 way to go Doug
W I'll you please make up a couple of roller benches to work on
Quality work will be easier to achieve
Makes everything so much easier
Hey, guys use oil on the Plexi and use the finest tooth blades! It'll cut like butter!
Put the.... DUAL MASTER CYLINDER ... on it!
Yeah I think the radiator grill leaning against the wall is ten million times better looking than the one you're trying to put in there. Oh yeah.
I did a search; they do make jigsaw blades for cutting plexiglass
Wrong blade and wrong spead, for that pelexi, glass

What about the electric fan for the front of the radiator another issue
Chad, ya have a remarkable group of guys working with ya.
Put a shroud behind the radiator to hide the Mickey mouse hose hook ups. Please and thank you.
By the way you guys are doing a steller job on this build. Keep on keeping on.
They make jigsaw blades design to cut plexiglass
I enjoy watching the creativity with all builds. I love the look of this build for its end purpose. I can’t wait to see more work on other Bugatti sitting outside shop. Hoping to see future work on Plymouth car/truck, Cabover & Elvis also.
I don't know what blade Doug is using but I've found coarse blades work best.. fine tooth seem to melt the plastic
Needs to have custom bumpers I'm sure bad chad or Nate could rigg up some flat plate or something.
I can't believe you don't have a bucket of old bolts or a selection of new bolts every time you need one you gotta go to the fucking store
you should check your blood pressure seems a bit high
You need a skill saw 7.blade carbide to cut lean and sand edge
Thumbs up, everyone! 👍
That view from the front with the grill and lights is bad ass!!!
I use a router with a 1/4" bit to cut acrylic or Plexiglas.
I think you should drag that ol body you swapped Nathan back in and build him a Nat-Rod and build the one outside for the Doug-man
Absolutly love every part of this car except for the size of console and those crappy lil coil springs in the rear suspension. Outside of the rear springs you guys did a good job on rear suspension.
Just one antique tail light. Would be cool.
Somebody get him a work table!!!!!

And the Plexi glass experts dont leave them out they will throw a tantrum

The heads on that engine look golden color. I really like that look !
Is that Plexiglas for a windshield... really?? Oh well, "anything goes for "art cars".?
The majority of your custom cars through out history use plexiglass or pecan windows.😂😂 thanks for watching though 😂😂
@@scottnorman5057 some here have severe comprehension issues. they hear its a race car for Jolene for 1 time a year, it don't sink in..
It's Jolene's racer and she is a lot smaller than Nate so there will be plenty of room for her.
I’d drive that car around, and I’m 81 yrs old ! Neat car
Chad, I’m suprised you never take the Cadillac to some shows yet. Remarkable creation.

i would not have thought of the air hose on the jig saw. good idea.
I know you build cars for the looks, but I'd hope you would reconsider the single pot master cylinder. No one uses them anymore for safety reasons
Why are u cutting plexiglass with that coarse of a blade. No wonder it’s taking so long. Good way to ruin it. Buy some blades. Wow.
I like the headlights location
Chad invest in a dye set.
Cheap
Tell Chad that he’s trying to put a lock nut on it’s and not the right one to use !!!!!!
I've seen alot of cars we like to call 50 footers your stuff would definitely qualify as 200 footers
Why of course. The "we", are they your Prius club buddies?
Doug and Nate are very good help Chad and Jolene 👍👍
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 go rooster 🐓
Go Doug go go Nate go!!!😆🤘🤘🤘
LOOKING GOOD!
You should use 1/2" LAXAN!
That plexiglass doesn't look very clear. Luckily it's not legal for windscreens in Australia.
Not legal in Canada either
Nice work team longer video was nice, Love build thanks for sharing.
It's Thursday. Go for it Bad Chad Nation ❤
It’s so much easier if you use the proper tools.
And of course Jolene is good with filming it all. Would be nice to get at least a wave from her at the beginning of each production.
What kind of fenders are you going to put on it in the front or are you just going to leave them off. Because if I put fenders on it I would make it turn with the wheels.
Great filming Jolene, shouldn't you be getting the fit for the seat as its your race car....good work guys!
MAKE THAT COMMENT & HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON...HELP THE CHANNEL GROW
Motor is just setting to high up in the chassis.
Bad chad and company should take the auto body class at Okanagan college try to catch up on industrie standards
What industry? body work is done all over the world in driveways, backyards. he is not building 500k show cars. actually there is no "standard"
