Car

The engine is officially mounted in the car 🙌



Yesterday we fabricated motor mounts out of some scrap metal. Today we’re going to level up the engine to where we want it …

  1. Why does this coupe sit up so high?
    Also that heavy chop took the car out of proportions.
    If you like it and it’s yours I guess that makes it cool to you.

  2. This build is giving me lots of ideas for my 50 dodge business man Coupe it has the same front suspension i want to see what happened when all the weight is on it . For my 440

  3. Just one slip away from losing a finger or two for goodness sake Chad build a steel top bench with a vice on it …… I paid the price doing what you do now…..it’s only a matter of time.

  4. You can separate the wishbone tailing arms and make brackets so they attach to the outer frame rails. Or better yet incorporate them in to the the transmission mount cross member with bushings. Having them split on each side of the transmission will provide a little more diagonal support as well as keeping the front and rear axles square to each other.. Be mindful of where you are going to run your headers and exhaust pipes.. Cheers!!

  5. Love the 50.. those interior colours are so 50’s.. and those tail lights look amazing….The chop is awesome too…. As for the 40, can’t wait to see it painted like the Hot wheels car and see you guys driving them both together, what a video that’ll be ….🤙😎

  6. I like the T shirt that Nate has on, be cool to have one, except my T shirts have to have a pocket. The work is coming along. The only thing I would do is and a support to the motor mounts.

  7. ****I really like the approach from experience by Chad, and he knows when to not take prisoners, even if it means executing all of them. Though it's an unconventional project but focused on in a bullseye idea it is coming along with many viewers anticipation to see it succeed. I recently acquired a 72' Opel Rallye car that's unibody, but the problem it that its such a small car and I want it to haul arse! Beit German, maybe a b29 block with turbo. If I go with 21 inch width tires it would look like a one tire car in the back….
    This production shows a good share of work, I like that, kinda had issues with some recently but this one is back on track. Nice
    Love Jolene, really like Chad, Nathan is …. okay, but I don't see him staying.
    If I gave a future it would be; Nathan and Chad butt heads again, and again, and they depart ways.
    Jolene has her car built but also gets diagnosed having cancer, she and Chad do fight through this getting closer than ever with eventually after some years Jolene passes away, Chad has a huge memorial made for her that is just insane and her death effects Chads work to practically imploding as if his entire world has collapsed sinking into the darkest despair and as many considers suicide but to the hardcore fans he give his smile and says everything is, "fine" when its not.
    I'm not sure when but somebody that does Custom Airbrushing steps in at sometime doing like a mural of Jolene and Chad as a 2gthr4vr thing or something similar.

    There is a cross at play in this, for all people must die, it's knowing of their salvation, not by good works but by the blood of the Lamb of God. Somebody shares what is called, "The Gospel" and it is what keeps Chad and brings him back to succeed though its after having to go through Hell on Earth
    Nathan needs to think of a car accident either reflection or coming.
    I keep seeing a little girl, not sure why, anyway. Just take it all like if I was writing a book.

    Kinda like Chad would say, "Shoo Fly"

  8. I said that all the time. Chad needs to work off a table and not the floor. Take a whole foods advice 20 years from now you're going to wish you worked off a table keep up the good work my brother.

  9. just think about what is done in a garage with what you have the way it was done for years . yes everything in a modern speed shop is not done the same way. this is old school just like a lot of cars where done for a long time. that has lead us to todays cars the evolution of cars comes from modifying them from the first cars to today , thank you all for letting see how you do things your way

  10. I have no idea why the engine is that far back (7:49 is where it goes). It doesn't make sense. It's pushing way into the interior and it'll create more heat on what's left of the firewall. I must have missed where you're trying to match the Matchbox car, but Matchbox isn't a real car builder. LOL

  11. This build really shows Chad's coomitment to his dream car and Nate ability to design and engineer on the fly. Working with high hp engines in boats I would borrow from ther engine mounting practices…fabricate some mounts from bell housing to frame and additionly mounts on front of engine off the timing cover area

  12. wow the monster 460 is in well done guys awsome job okay chad i know u have a lot on your plate but u ever thought of doing a rat rod but with left over parts from your yard
