My brother was a body man, got lung cancer at 48,for the next 16 years he would cought 200 times a day,then he died RIP bob .k

I've been a autobody tech for 35 years now and I have sinusitis from dust and chemicals so if I do any dirty work with out a mask its outside with a breeze but inside I wear a mask or I get a serious headache that lasts a day from reaction to the dust. I thought I was invincible too! You'll see when the time comes Chad! Give em shit Joleen!

Some channels make things look easy, Chad and Jolene show the dedication and hard work you need to put into these dream cars. Thanks for the reality

I've got terminal cancer it's now in my lymph nodes and God knows where else! I'm on hospice now and watching Chad and Jolene and Fina brings me joy!

CHAD !! Brother from another mother. During this video I HAVE TO HAVE TO SAY how much I appreciate your honesty. I’m 64 years old April 4th. During my life I’ve seen so many adjust prices on repairs that fit their WANTS ;was gonna say need bit THATS not it here) When you said video and not even to prove to the customer just for yourself so you would know WHAR needed to be done in the first place. BRO, THAT KIND OF HONESTY HOPEFULLY IS COMING BACK.. Greed has been a part of the game for so long it’s left emotional scars.. Your honesty goes above and beyond the call of duty to your fellow human beings. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY AND LOVE OF MANKIND. I use to be the other way in younger years for a short time however knowing door gaps and doing things the right way, hopefully is an art that’s coming back. At least I can say as a man, God is watching you, & the real true lovers of lost art and Jesus will Prevail.. You Son are setting one of the greatest examples of HOW TO BE ON PLANET EARTH TODAY than we have seen in quite a while.. THANK YOU, FOR YOUR HONESTY MY GOOD MAN.. In Jesus name.. Amen...😊🎤🙏🏻 _____... ______ ______ PENCIL ✏️ DROP THE MIC 🎤

I don’t know maybe you wouldn’t have the sinus and drainage problems if you wore a mask, Just looking out for you man you do what you Gotta do

What I really enjoy is that you use rather ”simple” tools. It’s so easy to think you cannot do the job unless you have the latest in tools. Thanks for Your effort and videos.

My Parents bought the first MK 10 in 1961, they bought it through a friend who had some connections in England and it arrived before our local dealer had one. It was BRG with forest green leather- what a luxury ride. My dad bought an 8 track tape deck, but the Jag was positive ground, so we had to insulate the entire housing of the tape deck and hook the positive to the case and the negative to the power wire. They drove it until the Borg Warner transmission went out in 1968 and I bought it from them. I changed the transmission with the car on jackstands from a creeper- that thing weighed a ton. I drove it until 1972 and sold it to buy an Aston Martin DB5. Still remember cruising in the Jag with Creedence playing on the 8 track.

my dad was a bodyman from nova scotia ,he didnt use a mask eather,RIP dad.

Chad, this episode helped me strip paint from my 1966 C10 roof. Bought a 6" electric DA polisher/sander and using 40 grit, then 80 grit I got it stripped much faster than using wire wheel with less damage to metal. Thanks for your videos. Brian Wilkenson

For stripping fast use a buffer with a foam mop and stick 36 grit ( sticky back) eats paint doesn't hurt the panel , then finish with the orbital sander

Chads old school I love it he motivates me to get working on my projects . Thanks chad

Happy st paddys day family, from northern Ireland ☘☘☘

Wow, I can’t thank you enough for the videos. I am learning a lot. Paint and body have alway been my weakness. I feel very confident about the project I’m working on now. Thanks again, Mark.

Awesome video! Cool that you have all these car guys come to your shop.

Chad, if you want to keep your filters really clean, instead of relying only on tapping your upper chest, please wear a mask when sanding ;)

Loved how you gave us a good ball part tips on how to bill properly for paid restoration. Including the logic behind material and hours. Alot of beginners under charge alot of others over charge. I like the way you think

I want to say i enjoy your painting process it help me paint some bike i had so thank you chad

I’ve been painting and restoring cars for about 30 years and I still picked up some tricks from you much respect my friend

dull sand paper will warp metal because you end up pushing harder . you have to keep your sander flat so you don't gouge in. The better quality of maaterials to sand makes all the difference in the over all job. you don't save money with cheap materials

Love the vids Chad ... new to your vids explained really good really enjoy thank you

Back in 1972, I said to my stepdad I was going to buy one of these cars when I am older. He said I would have to start saving now. I never saved and I am 59 now and had over 70 cars but never had a jaguar 429G or mk10. I still love these cars. I know I will never get one myself.

Here in New Zealand we have shot blasters using baking soda sodium bicarbonate takes paint and rust off in one hit, no heat transfer or residue,no scratching of the steel surface, take a couple of hours to do the top half. Google nz soda blast.

I know you're going to tell me to take a long walk off a short pier, buuuttt, no mask and no hearing protection. Your lungs and your ears are big part of living a happy life. Then you start showing lead, that's worse than paint!! Jolene I hope you are wearing some protection from all the crap floating around in the air and the loud sounds.

You’re keeping it real Man, respect. 😎

Wow that guy has some cool cars thank you for sharing

Chad you do amazing work.

Hey Chad, I'm retired glass man, Jaguar had problems with the paint when brand new back then, I used to take the glass out of them from dealer when brand new so the dealer had to repaint the whole car.....Bill

Great work and videos as usual! Another light that is similar to the ones you were looking at ,were fitted on the Uk version of mk2 Jaguar/Daimler worth a look.

Chad I really like the way you explain the sand paper . Time is money . Faster makes perfect sense . Thank you so much . I watch every night . Friend for Florida

Yes I agree wear a mask. But they do get uncomfortable after awhile. And after years of breathing in paint dust it could cause problems. If you have a big fan blowing on you and a window open that would help a bunch! Just looking out for you! I love your channel and showing your viewers how its done!

G'DAY Chad,two gems for today1= especially since you're starting the day,needing to drain you lungs,please consider your health & wear a mask or respirator, especially while sanding( likely old paint, containing LEAD),2= starting from early 60' s, JAGUAR during assembly,prior to painting,ALL gaps,door, Bonnett ,boot gaps were set in bare metal at one quarter of an inch(1/4=6.5 mm),thus achieving post paint an uniform gapping of 4.5_5.5 mm,a tapered timber or plastic guage is a handy tool for achieving this, As always, Kindest Regards, Dave McLaughlin, Queensland Australia

I would mask off 2" above the silver paint and do all the large areas with a chemical stripper which is faster and less dust and do the rest with a sander.

Chad Harbor Freight sells those black disks for the 4 inch grinder and they really work great, they strip mill scale off hot rolled steel very good too.

Years ago, I had a very good older friend (now deceased) who was a national restored classic car winner. He restored classics like Maxwell, Essex, Packard, LaSalle, Cadillac, Buick, Mercer, Pierce Arrow, Chrysler and more mostly from the Post WW-1 teens and 20's to pre- WW-2 1940's (He did restore a 1948 Town & Country woody convertible that was gorgeous) . In all he'd owned over 40 assorted cars in his lifetime which he'd restored. He'd take a paint stripper instead of a sander to remove all of the paint. He'd then wash the car with a mild alkalide, solution then hand rub another liquid chemical after the car was dry to slow the rusting process. He'd repair the dent's, dings and creases. He was old school and used lead. He would then scuff the metal then paint a primer. He would then paint three, four, five or even six coats of paint. He'd hand sand between each layer after the second layer. **** Chad , Why do you prefer sanding off paint over chemically stripping it? I'd like to know? Thanks ****

Clears his lymph nodes so he doesn't get sick, then sands car paint without eye and respiratory protection......

Keep on Rockin’ & sanding! 😎👍🇨🇦

Should of gone over the the black with 120 then 240 grit just to take the shine of then primer would be a lot faster

Hey CHAD! Great video!

Interesting stuff!

I’m surprised you would tape it instead of taking the chrome off. Could it not start to lift around the edges of the chrome if the paint below is that bad? Just asking? Love your work!

Your so modest Jolene

I Just ordered the same electric DA great work sir

I like that new control arm/radius arm. I think that will give better suspension travel. IMHO

Hi Chad,what sand paper grit do you finish with to prepare for a metallic paint?

Looks like a classic case of solvent evaporation/micro blistering. Could be due to poor primer adhesion to the substrate, primer applied in damp conditions or top coat was applied on top of primer that wasn’t sanded down. The best solution is strip the lot off. There used to be products back in the 70’s that were supposed to seal the surface before re-priming & top coating. They didn’t work in the long term and by applying high tack tape, you could peel everything off, just as Chad did at the beginning of the video. I was a paint refinishing technician from the mid sixties until I retired a few years ago. I have a feeling that there’s a lot of nasty secrets hiding underneath that top coat.

Another tums up byi looking good eh!

I like using my Makita polisher with a 9 inch pad and #80 grit. I dial down the speed on the polisher and its extremely fast and efficient.

Great paint removing tips👍

great to witness Roger engage with you n the build love chad n joline more each time i see what the do

I love the energy Chad has

Интересно посмотреть на готовый результат автомобиля✌️

Like your tool box

Do they have a paint remover you brush on then wipe off

SHES A GREAT CAMERA LADY. DON'T EVEN KNOW SHES THERE!

So, what's the idea for this Jag? Just a paint job or how far is the owner going to customize this car? My family used to have one of these! A great design! On my bucket list to have another one of these!

I watched the playlist for "Elvas" all the way through. I wonder if it ever got finished or what happened to it

Two Questions if I may. How do you get a registration on a home made car? And is it legal to call your car a model name that used to be, (Bugatti) when you built it all with not even a donner part from factory.

Defiantly see grey under the black and on top of metal. Ha ha yup in my life I was only on one project where the manpower wages ended less cost than the material and structure built

I use Velcro discs and pad so you can take them off and on as much as you want, very little waste. Might be slightly more expensive but well worth it in the long run.

Can one use a wire wheel for stripping paint also?? Thanks

I think Them signal lights would look amazing on the front of the car jolene and chad

Mask! Doug you need a mask.....Think smart, Think smart!

Hey chad,,why didnt you use paint remover for striping the paint?

I thought you were using paper to only remove the black. For stripping back to metal, I prefer to use scourer type stripping discs, way quicker than paper.

Single edge razor blades would strip the black right down to the primer. Fingers will be a little sore but it goes fast once you get the technique down. Stripped my 79 monte in four hours, no bare metal...wet sand with 320 and move forward..

My immune system went crazy when I was 45 because of the chemicals in the body shops , started attacking my kidneys , been on dialysis for 3 years , mk 10 jag big old beasts .

I can't believe he yanked that tape off of Doug's car like that!!! It took the paint clean off! 🤣 Lmao.

PLEASE USE MASK AND EYE PROTECTION JOLENE!!! ACTUALLY A FACE SHIELD SO YOU DON'T GET FLYING MATERIAL STUCK IN YOUR PRETTY FACE!!! NICE CAMERA WORK AS WELL, YOU DO A FINE JOB ON ALL THE VIDEOS. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF AS THE REST OF US ARE PROUD OF YOU! CHEERS!

how about baking soda dust blasting?

Love the videos, but I would have taken hood off then you don’t have to worry about scratching the other paint.

Chat I know u are very talent and smart to explain about cars but the best way to wear the mask and eyes protection that is very important for your health your wife is caring about u think about it

I've stripped many cars with my killer and 80 grit run it nice and slow so as not to heat the metal I would get that car stripped in 1/4 of the time it takes him with a DA. And that's easy paint some times you have to use 40 grit as long as you go slow it won't get hot like it will with a DA than switch to 80 than 100 on a DA.

Sweet ride

Is it not better to use a steal brush on a grinder ? If u know what i mean

what make and model is the electric DA?

9000 for strip and repaint? is it going to Riddler? Annnd you are breathing lead dust? Would a chemical stripper not work for these parts?

I wonder why Chad doesnt use that liquid yellow paint stripper.,,, is there a problem using it?

Could you not put the chrome lights they were showing a picture of, on top of the wings above the wheels? I have been a postman for 17 years. I spent ten of those carrying too much weight on my back. Now I am suffering with it. I learnt the hard way. Now I wouldnt for a million pounds. If you catch my drift. Stay safe!

I'm worried about the bottom half of that car.i heard the would guy say the bottom was recently painted, if they went over that black we will see it back in Chad's shop soon .

Rock on, you are the man and of course Lady Jolene!

for lymph use a rebounder; a small trampoline or go for a five mile run each day. Been there, got the teeshirt eh.

You need to tell Jolene to order more sandpaper, buddy you just got started on this bad boy ! It's going to eat a couple hundred dollars of the gritty stuff.

Gangs all here !!!!

Soooo, the top is supposed to match the bottom ?? If so, I know you want to just paint it all?

The dash is amazing thanks for that little peek ..

what kind of paint is that?

Never use duck tape either

Loving the earlier vids in UK!

You got to be as dear as a post... bad chad! good chad!

Going to bare metal, I'm torn ? Mechanical or chemical ? Maybe in cold weather, you sand, but with good ventilation, a layer of chemical has some appeal, as messy as it is...

I Showed my Doctor that Trick , I tapped my Shoulders , He Said if it makes You Feel better , I Said Now Watch This , I Covered my Left Nostril With my Thumb and Blew My Nose ,. He Won't Take My Phone Calls Anymore , Just an Auto Trimmer's Joke , Don't blow your nose on your Doctor.

Great episodes hope you can show us ricks collection would be greatly appreciated cheers

I hope young people don't follow Chads terrible philosophy of not wearing a mask. Shame, otherwise its a good channel.

Chad, take the trim off the windows. If you dont it will be pealing there before long

Please use masks, folks.

Why don’t you put the strutt arms in the front so you have more room for the steering linkage

Maybe consider putting in an exhaust hood on your ceiling there that blows the shit out of your 🫁

We love when Chad is being silly

for some of the things you said... THANK YOU!!!!!
