Have to admire Chad for his willingness to teach and tutor Aden. That is the sign of a decent man.

You can’t help but like the guy. He’s a regular guy that grinds it out. As an added bonus, he shares his techniques with the rest of us and I know it has motivated myself and others to tackle projects that we might not have otherwise.

Everybody starts somewhere and behind every successful ,man is a great woman ! Chad's said it before he'd not be where he is without Jolene so the story is truly about them both ! Love what each brings to the show and I respect and appreciate them both ! Thumbs-up Jolene and Chad on hard work does pay off !

We need more people in the hobby like you and Jolene !!!! Helping young people getting inspired to keep the hobby going. It just goes to show what kind of people you and Jolene are. Both of you keep up the GREAT work !!!

Chad and Jolene are very humble and down to earth, good honest and hard working people who have made their mark in the industry. They unselfishly give their knowledge, the good, bad and ugly to others, and are not struck on themselves like so many others in their profession. They really do deserve all the success that comes their way.

Been watching Chad for years…..Chad is very talented…..he amazes me with his ways to get it done……I’ve seen Chad make a 1/4 panel for a 65-66 full size Ford…..I thought that was talent…..then I started watching everyday…..I’m 64 and I learn stuff from Chad everyday. I’m a backyard mechanic body guy……it takes me 2-3 years to get a car or truck done…..I do everything at my house….can’t afford to send anything out…..Chad has shown me some very cool short cuts and ways to go about it……Chad is a true artist…..Thank you Chad and Queen Jolene…… Jolene is great on the camera and super easy on the eyes ! They make a great team !

Great sharing of your journey. There's a saying "God will help those who help themselves". That doesn't mean he's going to show up and pick up a sanding block, but he'll send someone alone who's willing to do that. When I stopped living my life to please others and started living for me, my life also turned. Like you I had a lot of low paying crappy jobs but each new job was just a little better than the last. What I have in life I earned. Believe in yourself Aiden, and so will the world. Men and women like Chad and Jolene don't flatter people, they tell them the truth, and if that truth is that you are a good person, that is the reward of a life well lived. No matter how well you do in life, always remember the humble beginnings.

Ohh GOOD he’s Still Part of the Show 🎉❤

Simple and honest is how Chad and Jolene go about their business

Their whole Enterprise just seems so amazing. Honest hard-working people doing fun and creative work.😊

I just wanted to say I started out warehousing,delivering, and janitorial for the same company. I will say I hand vacuumed the entire warehouse myself,the owner gave me cudo's and it felt real good he noticed. Then I pushed harder and washed and cleaned the delivery truck back to new.He noticed again. Then I was in the bathroom and just got sone scrubbing the toilets.I say down to do what we all do and comes in right after me,and says Jon is that you and I said yes of course so he says these are the cleanest toilets I have ever seen. Bottom line I quit for more money and didnt like what I was doing so they took me back and trained me as a serviceman. It goes on and on and when I left again for more cash I realized the next day I screwed up. So I ended up at Eastman Kodak in rochester,ny. That was my dream all along to get in on an important team. Film died but now I had experience so I could pretty much go anywhere.

Chad don't buy expensive doner cars he use other ppl cast off scrap etc I recon he could build any type of car he wanted and make it as good as any one he's a humble guy very humble loved by many

I worked as a Ferrari mechanic as a young man. Restorations etc.builylt race cars, boats back, in the day and raced..but I am in music business last 35+ years..creativity is the Message. Put in the work, learn, but anything you do..your own stamp on it. Pay the knowledge forward and just support those brave enough to risk their own visions. Love your vids and message bro..and let's not forget Jolene !!! Hugss to you both

Good Words Chad! This Video should be played to all of the vocational schools teaching autobody.

You two are very hard working ,and deserve everything you have and more. You inspire me!

I would love Chad's story on how a rebellious boy turns himself into a respectable man.

He is definitely a talented artist and has built several very cool unique cars

I admire his drive and passion to succeed. His ability to see something from nothing is inspiring.

Today's show really touched me and motivated me.

You have built a legacy to be proud of. Your very humble for what you have endured and accomplished. Well done Chad.

Times are tough today! I remember working 18-20 hrs a day, 7 days a week for a couple decades! But I loved building/restoring stuff, even when it was for someone else. I loved making $ it was never about that. I was lucky to be able to retire way early in 2010. But watching Chad's videos , I might have to come out of retirement for another build or two. Lol Man, you have definately motorvated me! 👍

I've watched you every single day since u started youtube,I watched all of your bad chad episodes before hand. You've inspired me since I started watching. I'm always doing stuff already but you give me a push I don't get anywhere else,especially if I'm down or feeling lazy,I watch your daily video and I'm off and running. Thank you so much for what you do for the common working man and woman without a krazy garage,that's what your showing us,don't need all that to build..I just want to thank you and I'm sure Aiden knows how lucky he is.

If there were a lot more people in this world like you and Jolene the world would be a place. I admire your words of wisdom especially guiding a young man. As I have been watching you both for a long time I feel that your philosophy's are the same as mine, and in saying that my door is open to you both if you ever decided to come back to Australia need somewhere to stay, you are both very welcome. God bless you both.

Use are great teachers for the young thanks to the two of you

You have worked hard for it all. I work everyday same as you and love it. Working on my next project towards my next dream

Brilliant motivational episode. When I started work, some 49 years ago, I had a guy not too dissimilar to Chad sitting me down like this. The guy gave me a very, very similar talk, just like this. I did take notice of him & I've had an amazing career working in mechanical engineering. Won't bore you with all the details, suffice to say Chad is spot on with his advice. I'm coming to the end of my career shortly after working for the same company I started in June 1974 & I've never looked back! When I hang up my tools early next year, I'll be the longest serving employee of 50 years & I've enjoyed every single year of it! So, be loyal, be creative, stand out & don't follow the sheep!

Nothing wrong with good conversation. Very enlightening.

Chad should know that by watching him build, I have learned so much about how to do repairs & build on my own vehicle. That's why I keep watching.

Being poor and having no money is just so inconvenient. I really enjoy and look forward to 5 o clock to watch your video each day.

Chad's topic about 'hard work' is very true! Regardless of the format or platform of the work he does he works very hard. I apologize for fussing about the car projects being on a time limit. People always want to see everything happen fast with quick results...this is what causes time constraints. People have short attention spans and impatient impulses..subsequently this forces Chad to move onto new projects without every single time consuming phase being recorded. He busts his back and works his butt off to teach us everything he knows...this benefits us. Thank you Chad and Jolene ❤.

Mate very inspirational. Really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Great video today. Love Chad's story. He is a very kind sole.

28 minutes that should be mandatory in all schools across America and Canada !

One of the most genuine and inspiring person I know. Well done chad and Jolene..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thanks for always giving your wisdom and time and sharing your talents

Well, For Me! What Makes Bad Chad & Jolene Special & Very Different!? It's Your Transparency! Your Work Ethic! And Your Ability To Describe/Video What You Are Doing & Why, While Actually Doing The Work! A Great Story Teller! & A Sense Of Humor! (And Of Course The Tallent Of An Artest!). All This And Have Fun Too! A Savvy Beautiful Business Woman With An Artest.

kudos to you both Chad and Jolene, I don't always watch every episode as some are of less interest, but you guys keep forging ahead...you are an inspiration to those who wish to follow their dreams😃😃 from the Gold Coast Australia

Jolene always looks amazing and doing a great job on the camera.❤

Chad inspires so many with his honesty and hard work. Thanks for sharing with Aidyn and us. Jolene is always amazing.

Yes sir chad you are good at what you do .and it's not shity work. Its impressive. 😅

You would be wrong in what you say as you are a fantastic welder awesome body man and a fantastic painter. Besides that you have Jolene by your side who is a wonderful person in her own right ✅ ❤. Aden is a wonderful worker as well listens and digs right in he will do well in life 😀 👍.

I have been watching awhile now and I admire this guys work ethic, personality but mainly his character as a man.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, your work ethic is beyond reproach. Ther cars are wonderful!

Behind every successful man is a strong supportive woman. Great job Chad and Jolene 👍 Hey Fina❣️

I was just looking at the Google streetview of Hiltz Auto and lord behold there are Chad and Jolene out front ! Excellent timing you two. I wear your t shirts all the time. Thanks

I love how Chad is just a normal guy. That's why I watch his videos he's always in a good mood and seems like the a guy you could have a beer with and have a normal conversation.

YOU'RE ONLY GONNA GET OUT OF SOMETHING, WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT !! 💪💪🚀🚀

I also think that Shirlene behind you has made you successful as well she is a very talented person Miss helps you grow from a fabricator to what you are today hats off to you Jolene

👍👍👍👍 Yes we definitely need to inspire younger people great job.

Gotta admire Chads creativity he doesnt build what others do and thats the key to his success

Great video. You’re story is inspiring for all young people. Seeing the exiting builds you have created, I’m wondering if there is another outrageous project in your head that you could show the world. Always waiting for the next video. Thanks Chad and Jolene. Every day’s a fun day 👍🏻.

I love Chad because he doesn't have to have money to build those amazing automobiles. He just dreams them up and builds them with whatever he has

Great job at telling Aiden your thoughts. Aiden do the best you can there is good shops out there.And some that do bad work.

I enjoy watching your craftsmanship everyday I'm tuned in

this is why l enjoy watching Chad & Jolene they are so willing too help so many people & like Chad always saids if l can do it you also can do it

Follow your dreams, thank you for sharing and planting seeds in people’s minds.

I had a very similar experience. The car I own which you can see in my profile picture is a 2005 Subaru Outback 30R. I had a vision when I bought the car was to lower it and change the driveline and suspension. Every time I went to a show I got told I was wasting my time, Your wasting your money. Those negative comments just fuel my creative side and I kept pushing the limits of the art and vision I had for the car. At the cars final evolution It ended up on air ride suspensions a fully worked flat 6 motor had 2 magazine features (Speedhunters being one) and 8 trophy's. Chad your knowledge and educations you a forwarding to Aden is 100% right. My story isn't as big as yours but you need to be a individual in this form of art.

With you and Jolene in his corner Aiden will do well! Congrats. Great episode.

Chad and Jolene you guys are so blessed! Your passion and Jolene’s filming skills have taught many of us so much and not to mention the motivation! I would love for you guys to come to Texas again and help me work in my shop on my hot rod!! Keep up the awesome work!

Thinking, you need to adopt Aiden and push him forward. He's getting better by the day. 🎉🎉

Aden I really really hope you are paying attention to Chad... he's inspired thousands of people.

Chad is a modern day Renaissance Man. Jolene is the master of video and keeping Chad business organized and out of trouble, as needed. 😊. Great team who love each other very much. We are lucky to be able to be along on the journey. Thank you, take care and stay safe. Peace out.

Well said, Chad, you hit the nail on the head.

Thank you Jolene for that bit of advise about what you can do for the company etc. JFK

Chad you are a very good teacher. You have a good life story. Thank you and Jolene for sharing.

Chad & Jolene I think if I was Adene or anyone else take Chad's advice working all day everyday shows you now what kind of dedication it' showes Chad keep up the good work and Jolene too. It's friday.

Well Chad its a good job you don't have to earn a living from driving a tractor! 😉. You and Jolene have a good day..(UK)

I’m sure this will be a great story

"I am who I am" thats half the battle of life really.. knowing who are and ignoring the haters. Great vid 👌

You deserve every single pat on the back, good gesture, complement, praiseworthy indeed.

Chad is on point. Keep preaching brother. Ignore any hate and keep moving forward.

Love the story. Art is subjective but your right like it or not it gets attention. I don’t love all the cars but love some but admire the work and the problem solving that goes into these build. Love the channel and you a Jolene for keeping it real. Also loving seeing you be able to enjoy some of the fruits of your labor. Keep up the good work.

If your doing what you love, the work is much easier. But I still believe it's hard work. The labor of love is work.

Love the everyday self made man and his Dearest

Well done Chad and Jolene... great people get great treasure ... and old tin sign makes you smile more than money in the bank .. ... good luck Aiden

Good advice.

You are right. No one but your family will help when your down. But someone you don’t know will help once you make something of yourself.

When I was a kid my grandma told me when you work for somebody you'll have nothing and be nobody, when you work for yourself you'll be somebody and have things.

A good guy and respectful. ❤❤❤

It absolutely blows my mind what you’ve accomplished in 10 years. You’ve put in some serious work and the success is well deserved

Really enjoyed this video! Down to earth with a lot of good direction for the incoming beginners. Some times I don’t agree with how you approach things but in the end I learn something new. Thanks for all your efforts. You and Jolene are the perfect receipt for success.

I have a feeling that in bad Chad and queen Jolene’s future there will be a memoir or a bad Chad rag to riches story. It will make a great book in my opinion !! Thank you bad Chad and queen Jolene for putting a positive spin on my outlook of life !!❤✌🏼😎🍻

It's time to build another Award winning car, Chad ...We your fans would love to see it happen..

Bad Chad the Mr. Rogers of the custom car builds!😂

Recently learning a lot about Gord Lightfoot, whose incredible work ethic is what saved his life a few times... ...he & Chad share the same love-of-life for what they do. That's the irrepressible inner-child's thirst for life & value generation in action! That's where our genius lies, & we all know there's no such thing as a lazy six-yr old. "Adulthood" is a scam...lol Gord said to Anne Murray once, "We're supposed to keep going until the end, aren't we Anne?", honestly puzzled over how she could quit the bizz that was evrything to him & his peers at only 64... 🏹🧡 from Hali...

Your creations are just amazing👍👍👍

👍🏻Thanks for the story time and the inspiration to others!

Good evening jolene and chad hope you had a wonderful week

Bless you Chad. And Jolene too!

Your car and work ethic inspired me to go for it. thx man
