The bead rolling doesn’t need to be perfect as long as the floor gets stiffened. If you don’t own a bead roller, you can make a die out of a piece of hardwood , carve out a half round groove slightly larger than the bead you want to account for the thickness of the sheet metal, then use a piece of metal rod and hammer the rod into the sheet metal placing another piece of hardwood over the steel rod so you don’t bend the rod. Diagonal bead rolls can be made.

If the body drops 4" - what happens to the rear-end stance you wanted to keep? Not to mention, the 4" over your head is from sitting at floor level - 4" seat bottom ?

What happened to the match car build? The one with the hood that tipped forward.

Why’s everyone getting so riled? It’s his project, he’ll build it his way. Allot of times, I kind of get lost on what he’s doing, but I sit back and watch the progress. As far as mistakes, if you never make mistakes, you never do anything. At least he doesn’t edit them out like some other builder videos.

Hey! Chad, Jolene ! Thanks for helping me fill my Fun Sunday, Enjoy your videos and even though I'm to old to Fabricate anything if I were younger I would use some of your techniques; find them interesting and the basics of what everyone should know! Jolene , watch when you peep through windows with your cam, never know what some on here might think! lol. hey Fina girl!

I would have put 4" sells on each side of the car that way it would cover the frame i think it would be much easier and less work and time an it would look better and you would have more head room an it wount look out of place because he going to race the floor 4" so that's 4" up long the bottom of the doors not only that it's going to throw the wheel wells off. Thats funny he is saying he build a car in 30 days its not going to be finished so if the car is not all the way finished then the car it not built in 30 days.

Cool, by dropping it 4 inches, we can see the trans channel through the side window.

Go for it bad Chad if you don’t like it, you know what to do. Just love the build. roll on Jolene!!!!!

If you drop it 4" the back tires won't fit in the wheel wells. The way the body sits is part of what made it so cool. Sure looks like the tires will rub the body in the back, and it also reduces the interior space even more. I think the tunnel is bigger than it needs to be too. Love the chop and the car, but I think this is a mistake to channel it. I also think you should try to make a bench seat work if possible.

You do an excellent job of teaching/explaning your process. Thank you for the content

I’m pretty sure when you measure something to fit the way you want it to.. You have to measure it the right way.. I love watching what they build and I don’t like too say he’s doing something wrong, because I don’t know what’s in his head.. But if you want 4” and nothing more than that, then you should measure from underneath the floor section, not from the top of the floor.. But what do I know, I’m just a ex contractor who measured for a living..

Need to do a 4 inch drop on the seats

Watching whilst on a train from Penang to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Ill have to watch again later as i have the volume off out of respect for other passengers on the train

Thanks for the Sunday episode Jolene! It works real nice for my fix🤩

People complain about what they are doing but try to put a video out every day and see how it works for you all. You still watch every episode. Give them a break 😊

I like what you are doing with the car. It would be nice to see what it looks on the frame first. Then to see what it looks like after it is channeled.

Nice work. Floor looks super

I like how it is turning into a cool ride. Nice work.

I would of went all the way up to bottom of windows with that steel you put in just for extra strength and hold the door hinges better with only four points on that old body you want to stiffen her up as much as possible rember there are bumps on the road way

I really don't know if this cars well gets done, but let's see what happens.

Sounds like a plan 👍 Go for it Team Hiltz 👁 🐅 👌

I think the one main ingredient that you forgot was the seat unless your going to sit on the floor , think about it I seen you take the measurements for head height

What about the height of the car seat?

🌴 Channeling it will keep it from looking like a Hi boy , getting the Karrr, down lower gives it a more desirable look , I really wanna see it set on the frame to see the stance .🤔 did you allow for any rubber mounts between the frame and body ?

Are you allowing for the seat,they are 4 to 6 inches high.?

Awesome, thanks

It would be easy to install the hockey tape now everything is opened up

OK, so, I'm watching this right now. Chad, slow down a bit, where all watching, fast or slow, you'll enjoy it more if you slow down. It's all good, sectioning that thing adds to the interest, which is a good thing, there's nothing negative going on I restore cars/hot rod them. It takes time, it can't be rushed. Maybe extend the production time a little, I like the chat/what you say/talk about. Gazzer uk over n out.

Drop the front 2inch leve the rear fill the holes in the frame job done. But thats my opinion.

I guess I’m just lost on this one, if you chopped the top and now you are going to drop the body to cover the frame your seats are going to hit the roof of the car and there’s no room to sit in the car to drive it… ??

going to loose to much head room with a 4" channel with that chop take half 2" from the frame between the two pillars, and channel the difference. or put that car on top of the frame and add the 4" to the bottom of the car under the doors, or go in the yard and find some fenders

I say some negative things about Chad but I really think that nobody and I mean nobody can build as fast as him and I truly believe that the floors he does is very smart because he obviously knows that he's working with twisted up junk so when he builds the floors like he does means it will always come out perfect to whatever twisted frame he's working with.
