Swapping out the 1959 Jaguar front suspension with a Jaguar XJ6 IFS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- The beauty of an IFS swap is that it upgrades the suspension, steering, and brakes all in one. The XJ6 front suspension is strong, compact, elegant, and has modern components (like rack & pinion steering and disc brakes with big 4-piston calipers). It's a nicely engineered front end that is going to be a big improvement for the 1959 Jaguar 🚨

Joleen, I think the editing you did on this video, using the 2x speed is great. Sometimes the cutting,grinding and spot welding can seem like watching grass grow. I also would love to see you film thru a welders lens during a welding process. I really enjoy
all your vids. Hi Chad
It's great how you keep everything straight in your head and flow from one project to the next.
Hello Chad & Jolene and Aidyn. I hope that you all are having a great day. The new front suspension is going to work very well for this build. The 59 Jaguar is going to work great. Thank you for showing all of us this can be done at a cost that we can afford to do.
When you build your building to house the cars, you should make it like a museum so people can come see your cars and you could make money showing them, along with a gift shop. I'm sure a lot of people would love to see your cars in person. You also could put your cars in various stages of their build in the museum, as they would be very interesting to see too. Just a thought. Love your videos.
good surgeston
Filming him looking constantly around the shop for tools is my most favorite part.
I am not tired of watching you turn four doors into 2 door coups. Seriously, that is the best build and I can't get enough of it. Maybe you could give it different flair, but still a 2 door coup.
Congratulations Harley on your graduation.
Chad & Jolene, remember that: Haters Hate, That's what they do, That is their power.. Ignoring them Steals their power, That's what we do. That is our power. I enjoy your builds. The best one is always the next one. Thank You for Sharing.
Looks like changing the front end is the right thing to do . Keep up the great work Chad , Aiden , Jolene & Fina . Free paint jobs are never free , It's a lot of work to get a nice paint job !
Hope this works out for you. Thanks for sharing your progress on your cars. Always a great job on the video Jolene
I painted a fiero many many years ago and hot water pressure washed it . Took every bit of paint off down to the bare plastic quite easily. Made my life a lot of easier ,
Done the same with a transam nose cone and worked well too.
Might be worth giving it a go if you have access to one .
Living the dream with Chad and Jolene.
Please don't just cut the torsion bar,follow it back to under the car around the driver's seat,should have an adjustment there,use an air gun with socket take all tension off the rod,then can remove safely.
It's great to see a young man like Aiden wanting to learn about the old cars to keep it going.
To release the torsion bar you need to free it from the pressure plate side at the start of the tunnel.
That would be the safe and smart way to do it!
I have to say I take Jolene's camera work for granted , I get so tired up in the build thank I forget if it wasn`t for you we would have nothing to watch . So thank you Jolene for the excellent camera work you do .
They are a great team Without Jolenes camera work there would be no show
Saturday evening with Bad Chad and Jolene...woop woop 🍿
Nice high speed jolene got it done fast
Appreciate everyone nice comments on here and the rest you all who comments weird things please stop and grow up and enjoy the videos that they do and they will do other cars back and forth it keep the mind and art fresher with new ideas 💡 and it called automotive arts. Fina such a good girl she a happy girl good work Aiden and Jolene and Chad even fina for barking at the door to come in like a human knocking the door let me in mom n dad to Jolene and Chad lol
These two work very well together I am glad they found each other
Pretty exciting you are going to expand with a new shop and display area for all your builds. I can't wait to see it as it's coming along. PS, I'm sure you know, no matter how large your building will be but there still is never enough room lol.
I appreciate your work on your cars. I would however love to see one project to completion: I may not understand all the jobs that you took in and their due dates, I just want to see the complete Jolene car. Hope your all well and see you work again soon
I am quadriplegic and was shot in 2012 I haven't really seen very many wheelchair vans made out of really cool cars I think it would be cool to see you build something like that then donated to a family in need of a vehicle it's very hard to obtain one and there's not a lot of resources out there for people to get one I was lucky enough to get mine through a educational program I think that would be something cool to do with the old Dodge you have in the background
Great idea,let's hope some sponsors support this idea,so costs will be covered for Chad.
So I’m watching you remove the front end on the Jag so that the new one can be fitted. My question is, why are you not putting the vehicle on the lift? With it being on the lift, getting down on the ground to remove things wouldn’t have to happen. Also, once the old suspension is removed, placing the new one would be a lot easier to install. Plus the vehicle would be far enough out of the door way that if the the project stalled out for the night closing up would be easier. Unloading the torsion bars before removing is needed. There is an adjustment in place for height adjustment.
Chad, have you considered sandblasting that wing with walnut shell blasting media? I have used that technique many times on plastic and fiberglass as it is pretty gentle. If you control your pressure and distance, you could quickly fix that wing without making it wavy. It is worth a try as it only takes a few minutes.
The Fiero is a good lesson that shows what you have been teaching all along about proper prep work
That sawsall blade you got there is outlastin any of the ones I get 🔪😂
Love the projects you guys create from whats in the brain. Brilliant works of mechanical art. The people that are complaining or hating id love to see what they have created
I like the fast forward through the tedious stuff. The rest is great.
Chad, for suggestion on your old 4 door grey dodge sitting in your yard, I would make it into a family friendly hot rod gasser, where you can take 6 or more people for a ride, most custom hot rods you cant just a suggestion. Love watching your hard work and results on You Tube and great filming from Jolene.
When you were talking about turning that 1935 Dodge sedan into a truck, at that moment I thought to myself if a guy turned it into a backwards driving car where the back is actually the front, maybe it could be made to look kind of like an old cab over engine style truck, or an old Ford Econoline style truck. That may be a major stretch but it popped into my head so I'm laying it out there.
You should take all the old parts and weld them together to form a piece of art . You are a artist and metal is your easel.
Chad, you do such a great job explaining what you are doing! I really enjoy watching your channel. I have learned a lot from you!
"007 Batmobile" progress!!! Thanks for showing this process.
Nice upgrade for this project!
I would totally donate any amount of money so you could build your building. Out of all the car build tv shows on all the TV channels, your guys is the best and most like just regular people working on projects. Tis a beautiful thing!!❤❤💪💪💪💪💪
The donor Jaguar also has a very nice rear suspension. Thanks for the great vids.
Alot of cutting on the beast of a car...definitely got plenty of car content...got a great worker in Aidyn..your right about the phone..too many people busy with their phones and real life is passing them by..I think some people would die without their phone...when without it ..it would set you free...thanks for the episode...cya tomorrow
This will be a good lesson. Thanks for showing us how it gets done Chad. Jolene's video is always amazing.
That is Chads personality. You can never predict his interests. After 2 years his artistry takes precedent.
Was looking forward to see more work on bugatti but never mind any thing chad dose is good to see
I understand you do this work for the love of the job . I have seen you paint everyone else's car and build other cars . Why not just nickel down and get the Bugatti done . I guess you do need to keep in on the side to keep everyone waiting and watching . I would love to see it finally done you had made so much progress .
Can wait to see how this work out
A wonderful build! I love the overall roof lines with the body. The front-end replacement really updates the steering and suspension. Thank you for sharing Chad and
Jolene.
Hm.
looking forward to this one
4th of July Holiday, so 4 days off to have fun....which means out to the garage at 7:30 so i can put in about 8 hours or so on the current job. Normally work in garage after putting in my factory time.
What's my point? Why am I talking about what I'm doing?
Here's my point:
I can understand how the bad Chad can be happy pretty much every day. When you have time and freedom and passion and live what you are doing....every day is great! Every day is something to accomplish. I hope to garage work daily when I retire from the day job
Sitting around not an option. It's maintaining a passion/interest and drive that keeps you young and alive and moving thru life with contentment (if you are That type of person, I mean. Some are,some are not)
From heavy luxury English cruiser to a BAD CHAD creation....keep on rocking on.
paint jobs can be tricky for sure.good thinking
re the red paint pulling off on body panels..what we used to do if its obviously a touchy one is ,for NEW masking,pull off tape roll to a little more than needed.put your hands both ends of tape then rub hglue side of tape across tour shirt or trouser led [material] which removes the harsh glue.. but still sticky to hold in place..might take a couple of wipes to get the feel for it.. but we called if soft masking..ty Sirs and Jolene for great viewing .
Coming together nicely 😎
The the adjusting bolt should be on the back end of the bar.
The Jaguar roof is Wrong. Start over with Curves that follow the body lines. (See Garroway Phantom.)
I believe that it is a concept type car so who are you to say it is right or wrong are you the one funding and or building the car lol
This build just keeps getting better. Thanks for sharing.
Interested to see how much modification will be needed to fit up this front suspension.
Love you work, Aiyden put on some safety glasses with all the grinding that’s going on
Awesome, Thanks
Jolene,s Bugatti goes on the backburner again?🤔
Y’all are so crude
Yeah, he should work on what YOU tell him!!! But he's too busy seeing how....................different he can make this one.
It didn't take long.
Multiple projects
Minimal boredom
Too much video on one car, views
Go down. Views go down, revenue goes down...
@Hello Kitteh trollin' down the river....🥴
The build content a process is great but it would be good to see one finished now and then. The COE build I’m looking forward to see the finished product
Thanks for sharing and the hard work
So many different things on the go...love it.
Variety is the spice of life 🙂👍
That's how I feel about my women.
@@xmo552 haha…that could get you in trouble 🤣🤣
@@howquick
Yup
I really like your new fast forward portions without sound...well done Jolene !
I'm excited to see how the suspension works of the '59. Should drop it down substantially.
Its probably too late but taking a pressure washer to that flaky clear coat would remove it really well and then sand it down instead of using the air hose. I hope that helps 👍🏼
Bad Chad makes it look easy great work as always thanks for sharing
Would be a great time to thoroughly clean the shop floor. I would have taken the engine back out to do the front suspension to get weight off. Hopefully the Fiero gets painted soon and the other projects get some attention. Great job Chad, Jolene and Aiden.
Fina the wonder dog. She wonders what the heck is going on. Lol Aiden is certainly the dream apprentice, no attitude, no pretence, and no phone.👍👍🇨🇦
The chop on the 40 is so beautiful. I wonder why that didn't get suspension and an engine.
In paint and super low, the Jag is going to look crazy. Big body tiny panorama in pale blue or a bright colour in flat will look crazy
I think the Dodge would look nice if made into a pickup. Get extreme and lift it!
Good job Jolene
Did you get the new fan installed in the paint room
Good thing Tim has a bunch of Fiero parts cars.
The Jag would look sweet with a boat tail.
For the wing, I would try peint srtipper. I use that on guitars.
Nice to have a helper
The 35 Dodge I would keep completely stock and use it for going to town car and to go on on trips to look at other projects. It is to cool as it is to cut up. It would really be a fun car to drive. Bill
GM , along with many others manufacturers, had major problems with clear coats in the 80s..and well the 90s too. I always suspected there wasnt enough, or any, UV protection in the clear back then.
Fina doing a great job of security. Nothing gets buy Fina. Excellent job Fina Your number one fan, Bill
Joleen did you edit out the part where Chad measures the wheel base of the old suspension ,so he knows where to put the new one?
We got to know what's up ? Why the swap ? If your doing it let's get this puppy started ! I'm good on jobs not much talking about it ! Cool Chad I'm just read for the swap it's going to be epic folks 😎 if we could turn a wrench for ya we'd do it ! Thumbs-up Jolene 👍 Chad and 👍 Aidyn and Jim!
Putting the other subframe under the jag has definitely lowered the front end Chad and jolene and it looks like it's going to fit fairly easily. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏
Going to look great with the sub frame front end in the jag
New front susp looks great
Aiden working on a Saturday ,nice one . Keep up the good work chad & Jolene
When I look at the Dodge Sedan I can see it converted to a Hispano-Suiza, it would be interesting to see it widened and the engine bay/hood extended etc, a nice complement to the Bugatti build
With the waviness of the plastic car, Chad bit more than he wanted to chew on! Well he is learning along with the rest of us. Painting the Fiero is a nightmare!
Chad there is an adjustment bolt for torsion bar take the bolt out to relieve pressure on bar . Do it safely
Looks great you are moving ahead on your many projects
The plasma torch is far faster at demolition than the zip cuts.
Chad and jolene you should really cover jolene engine over if you having rain cause the last thing you need is water getting into the engine. The water will ruin your engine fairly fast. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏
Hi Fina how's your day ? The whole gang at work today? Let's swap it out . We can do Jolenes car any day . It'll get done people it's Chad's shop and I'm in no hurry . This is my fun channel . And I want it all !Thumbs-up guys and be safe always 🙏 ❤
Great to see you working again
Aren't you worried though that without taking all the paint off that the new paint will just lift eventually, aren't you just doing what has been done before hand??
Greatings from Germany 🇩🇪. Your work is great.
Love the work including the camera work
beautiful 300zx nissan at the background
Cool
Nice job
Looking good
Great video and the car is looking good
Plasma torch is the go those old Jags were built tough
