What a kick...I'm 77 years old and my first car when I was 17 was my aunts 39 Studebaker Commander that she bought new...flathead six lost a bearing on the way home from gas leaking into the crankcase from a hole in the fuel pump. Bearings are poured and the two rods I scored at a junkyard were undersized..motor would not turn over...added shims and knocked like crazy...used old rings and carried a gallon of cheap oil in the back seat. My first "Hot Rod"
Outstanding build by Chad and his men and of course not forgetting Jolene 👏 👍 😉
to get a compliment from the master of custom cars, Gene Winfield is probably the highest praise a custom car fabricator can get.
That is one of my favourite cars every one wants to own a bit of chads work
Omg CHAD. YOU TRUELY ARE A KING OF KINGS OF CAR BUILDERS You and the team built that car all from your imagination you truely leave me speechless Sir please keep doing what your doing. Can you give me a shout out one day 😁 Oh and say hello to Jimbo for me 😁 Dave from Uk
Chad is a great guy, the 'regular man'. Wish he lived in America.

Be honest.. would you ever drive a car he built? Safety wise and all? Dude uses ram Rods to build his frames...😮
People on here having a dig at chads workmanship, all i can say is that i wish i had his energy and dedication. By the way, he's never claimed to be another chip foose or boyd coddington, he works to a budget with what he has available. Good luck to the man
Just Beautiful !!! Great job !!! Great work !!!
Wau! der Typ hat wirklich Vision. Respekt! Hut ab!!
First time seeing this video and I have to say totally awesome you the man bad Chad. Can't wait to see another build 🙌
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL OLD CAR! EXCELLENT JOB GUYS!
I’m watching these videos backwards evidently. I’ve been watching Bad Chad and Jolene’s current videos and now discovered they had a TV series. Pretty cool👍
Excellent Episode
I don't have a lot of money but I can tell you one thing Chad. I love your work

Chad did not sell this car. He still owns it. His daughter took it to prom. There’s a recent video of that. Many of the cars on this show or represented as sold when in actuality Chad and Jolene still on them.

Really hope the stupid war is over soon and you can get back to doing something practical and fulfilling like building a rod. Good luck to you all
I think it is sad you just did Restore the Car. I can't watch you guy cut up such a Rare car, in that good of Shape.
Paid 48 gotta flirt 😅
I thought you still owned that car?
It's not 1930.maybe 1940
✌🏻😊
👍🏻👍✌
I was prepared to hate this thing but..i don't..
I love this Studebaker but for one thing. The p.o.s. Ford engine. I would have put a L.S. in it.
I should have giving Him 2000... Blacksmith Theo harlingen holland He.s living like me Although harlingen Here is tocrowded I have to move also Know an old smitty..? Greetings theo...
I worked in high end body shops fixing expensive wrecked European luxury and sports cars. There is a right way to build a car and there is Chad's way. Chad's way, in the shops I worked in, would get him fired before lunch on his first day. The job recommendation coming from that would black ball him all over the area. There is it looks good and it is built right, and you have it looks good but it's built all wrong done Chad's way. Take rear windows for example. You find a roof section with a real glass windows and you cut, section, pie cut, make panels and fit every thing just right, inside bracing and outside. Plastic windows say you did it crappy. Fiberglass puddy covered with bondo, and then multiple primer coats of polyester primer and primer sealer is really bad. Yes it can look good, but it was built all wrong. Clearly you guys fawning over the hack work have never worked in a "real" body shop and you can't tell good work quality from really bad quality work. If you want to see what quality work looks like go watch Fitzee or Slyvester. See how they fit each piece just so making very little filler required. That is quality work, real craftsmanship.
ALL THINGS UN CREATION STARTED WITH IMAGINATION EVEN IN THE MIND OF GOD.
