Just wanted to thank you for your videos. You will never know the help you've been. My son and I just chopped truck. No clue what we were doing. Cutting and adding to door windows. Really intimidating, without a clue. Success brings such Joy and fulfillment. You give useful information, but inspiration to just try!!! Windshield was a big concern on this project. And here you come with help. Lol to anyone else inspired watching a video, feeling prepared. Watching Chad pull that burned up window out of his box..... I know the feeling!!! But keep going and get the feeling he had pulling the next one out. I know that one to. Thank you Bad Chad!!!
Awesome !!! This reminds me when Gene blew his bubble top ! Wonder how many Grills will be cut up. I also found all of your TV episodes on Demand KEEP all the GOOD stuff coming . Jim USA.
Nice work. I have allready built a curve windshield in Polycarbonate. There is 3 cool products, "Lexan", "Macrolon", but the best for me is "Margard", no scratch about 6 years on chop top 50's car, clear like the first day. Great idea to BBQ conversion. Thanks from France for sharing your great videos.
Today I finally have a windshield installed in my chopped 1955 F100 thanks to chad, I made a sheet metal form similar to what chad did and also made a similar looking box but used the heating element out of a electric oven I probably made 12 or so tests with scrap plexi and a couple ruined windshield attempts before I got it down pat, the procedure that I ended up with is inserting a thermometer through the box running the temperature up to 250F and holding it there for 10 minutes, then because one end of the box was hotter than the other I would flip the form around and repeat, ended up not even needing to use any clamps, the plexi would just form on its own but it was not so pliable that it formed to every imperfection in my form, very happy with the result
plexiglass is fun to maintain. I had boat windshields with plexiglas. I learned to never, never, never wipe dirt or dust off. Blow off the dust and soapy water with soft washcloths
Chad: polish the plex inside and out, clean with acetone and put clear film in and out! You will never regret it and the film will NOT SCRATCH as easily. If the film gets damaged just cut it off and install another piece. Been doing this for years. Please try it here, you will be amazed. And happy
Chad this is coming along pretty good now! The fact that you are so determined to succeed is awesome. You show the fans everything good or bad, so people can see what really happens instead of editing all the mistakes out. You are very fortunate to have Jolene supporting you through everything, she's not afraid to help out and get her hands dirty. Jolene you always do so well with the video's.
Isn't easier to just buy one then go thru all this, I don't see this being the revolutionary idea of the chopped car window problem, I do see how once again you make what you need happen as always, pretty cool
Amazing mind of dreamer, don't ever give up on yourself. Dream on Chad, Jolene and Fina. Love the work you do and will continue watching to learn more.
Chad and Jolene - Love you guys and admire your tenacity. Your confidence and humility are a great example to all of us. Being creative comes naturally to many of us, but combining that with your persistence, patience, imagination, skill humility are very rare. I've not missed an episode since you started your daily schedule. Thank you!
Someone on the chat rely had a good idea for future plexi work. He said he worked a lot with plexi and said you could just leave the protective plastic on tell after it is done. It will help to keep dirt and dust off during process. Sounds good to me. Hi Fina. Bill
Great idea using the first success as a mock up and test the fitting with the windscreen rubber. Always look forward to seeing the next episode on your channel Chad and Jolene. Brilliant work and thank you.
Chad have you thought about putting in a thermometer to help out on how hot the inside temp is in the box? Maybe a meat thermometer would work for you. Just a thought. You do great work.
Hats off to you sir, anyone that’s willing to try new things and humble enough to keep trying with out making excuses has my respect. Great video thanks
Chad & Jolene, you two are inspirational on so many levels...as DIY teachers, as entrepreneurs, and as a couple. Wishing you continued success on your creations, business, and life in general. Will continue to be a dedicated fan as long as you choose to share.
Thank you so much for this content! Wow you are really showing us that determination is the key to success. Dream it, believe it build it...don't take no for an answer and make it happen.
Wow what an amazing outcome. Who would have thought you could do something like that and seeing it come to life exactly how you wanted it, i had no idea. Congratulations.
Chad you both did a great job on something you have not done before, from otter failure to beautiful success. It's amazing how a little trust in your self and a lot of patience can go a long way. Thanks Mark Dutka Oakville Ontario Canada
You guys have no boundaries, you give everything a go and throw all your energy at it all the while showing you follower's it can be done with imagination and tenacity, a credit to you both and thanks for sharing.
Your skillsets are so inspiring! I just replaced all the window seals in my Westfalia (after fixing rust issues), and my confidence comes, in part, from witnessing your courageous attempts at anything you put your mind to! Thanks fellow Canuck👍
Well done and meticulous work worth pursuing. This car is one of your good deeds and I am sure if you continue to do this like this, you will be like Jesse the legend. Thank you, you and the beautiful Julien
Awesome job👍👍👍preparation makes for a good outcome! It's cool to see you make a car as you want it to be, I love the (love) you show to the vehicles you work on. I too restore old cars and trucks and such just to factory standards but so deeply aspire to build a shop in my back yard and (BUILD) MY dream transport!!! keep up the great work
Your never happy until it's perfect that's what is so good about your work. Great job as always both carnt wait to see the vinyl wrap experiment. Catch ya tomorrow chad and jolene
Wow you have some of the most extraordinary techniques that anyone has had the guts to share with anyone and everyone. I have to say I been around for quite a long time and you take the guess work out of any fabrication on cars that I’ve ever had the great pleasure to witness. You are an amazing person and I am so glad I stumbled upon your videos. You make me want to find some old cars and turn them out you should be a very proud individual and your girl of what you’ve accomplished in such a short time it’s a fresh way for me to look at making parts and fabricating parts for anything that I want to make it’s been a great help thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge that you so readily share. You are one of the best I’ve ever seen in any venue and I appreciate you thoughtful insight on everything you put out it’s always entertaining and I enjoy the way you present your projects and the way you explain every detail even if it’s not perfect you admit that it isn’t perfect but when you are doing what you do there is no manual you are the manual I’m in awe at the transformations you come up with and the finished products you come up with with out having to buy or pay some huge cost to make the impossible absolutely possible to do thank you very much and you are amazing and I’m can’t say it enough I can’t you and Jolene are inspiring and entertaining and you can’t help but learn and be inspired but your way of presenting and fabricating some of the baddest ass cars I’ve ever seen 👍🏼👍🏼
Your videos make me to loose all the ghost about failures, making to seeing the tasks easier. You, Jolene and yours friends, makes a perfect combination for a new way to learn and having fun at the same time. I never missed any videos, thanks for being always with your humble personality and great sense of humor. 👍
You can always pay $$$ to get what you want... Love when people figure out a way to do it themselves and save $$$. Even if the first time doesn't save money the experience will save money over the years. Not all of us can just write a check for everything. And even if you can, there is a feeling of accomplishment to be able say "I made that". hats off to you. I always found it funny when I walked around a car show that I had my car at and found out that no one else actually painted their own car. Nothing against people that pay for it, It just made me feel better about my project and less interested in their story. probably because I was never rich enough to just pay for stuff to get done. BTW your bodywork and paint work techniques are not for the first timer... You definitely know what you are doing. Keep up the great work!!!
Glad to see you happy with the outcome,just don’t get to stressed out,I know that’s hard for you,but that’s when mistakes happen,just sometimes slow is the just the way to go.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
I love watching this channel because I learn something every time I watch it bad Chad is a bad ass it’s nice to see somebody make something out of nothing God bless you
Love it uncle MEF, this one is perfect like you after a 3 day bender on the hillbilly quack..we love how you do everything in moderation now..still learning aye son like just a couple chuffs on the glass BBQ now so you don't burn the place down again! Uncle Kevin says he is proud of you..and you have like mind like a snow globe all shaken up..love you uncle MEF x
Chad, I understand your disappointments and your victories. Forming is a lot different than blowing a bubble and you are putting forth the effort, money and time to help the hobby. Thanks very much to you and Jolene!!
Chad I'm excited for you. Success here means success in future builds since front windshields are probably the biggest hurdle of most custom roof modifications. Thanks to Jolene for keeping us close to everything you are doing.
Chad!! This was such a helpful video! Brother, you are a very go to person and a make it happen guy. The COE is looking really good with those peaked headlights. Man I'm only to 20 minutes on the video and you've already got my brain going on what I can now do and not be stalled out on glass! Thankyou
Chad you're engineering skills are impressive. Your awareness of what's going on with materials and processes is very high. Going from the 1st attempt to the third and final is awesome sir. Creativity needed to develop the makeshift oven from a gas grill is brilliant. Really impressive. Beyond genetics, you have a lot to offer your son.
Nice work Chad. You are showing the viewers that it is not a failure unless you give up. It is only a chance to improve your process. Cheers from Alaska.

Great job on getting all the clamps ready. The window turned out great. Looking forward to "It's Friday" show tomorrow.

Fina gets the shop dog of the year award!!
Chad is like having a good creative buddy giving you a hand with your project. All for the love of the end goal.
Today I finally have a windshield installed in my chopped 1955 F100 thanks to chad, I made a sheet metal form similar to what chad did and also made a similar looking box but used the heating element out of a electric oven I probably made 12 or so tests with scrap plexi and a couple ruined windshield attempts before I got it down pat, the procedure that I ended up with is inserting a thermometer through the box running the temperature up to 250F and holding it there for 10 minutes, then because one end of the box was hotter than the other I would flip the form around and repeat, ended up not even needing to use any clamps, the plexi would just form on its own but it was not so pliable that it formed to every imperfection in my form, very happy with the result
I do this process often, put in my oven at 200 degrees for 20 mins on wood slats. I like the parchment paper idea.
Whoop Whoop! Great job Chaddy. It might be a good idea to put a smoke alarm in the garage.
plexiglass is fun to maintain. I had boat windshields with plexiglas. I learned to never, never, never wipe dirt or dust off.
Blow off the dust and soapy water with soft washcloths
Yes, you are a lucky duck you still have your shop. Live and learn.
Chad: polish the plex inside and out, clean with acetone and put clear film in and out! You will never regret it and the film will NOT SCRATCH as easily. If the film gets damaged just cut it off and install another piece. Been doing this for years. Please try it here, you will be amazed. And happy

I've not missed an episode since you started your daily schedule. Thank you!
Nice job guys. Good to see you made your own “tools” to make the glass.
You have to start somewhere, I am glad you are showing the good and bad about making a plexiglass window.
The bad part would be almost burning down your shop. Hopefully Fina has a dog door
Someone on the chat rely had a good idea for future plexi work. He said he worked a lot with plexi and said you could just leave the protective plastic on tell after it is done. It will help to keep dirt and dust off during process. Sounds good to me. Hi Fina. Bill
#2 came out well overall. The use of spring clamps is the way to go. Great job Chad. Jolene's videos has been spectacular.
So helpful videos and very inspiring thank you
Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two
Great job!! it's so nice to see someone take their time and patiently work on perfection!!
This is amazing work!! Thank you for taking the time to share your craftmanship.
Chad, I’m a bluenoser from Cape Breton. Now living near Boston. That Tbird is spot on, very cool. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Yep Great Job and man I love chopped Hot Rods. Now I know how the windows are done. Thanks
Great idea using the first success as a mock up and test the fitting with the windscreen rubber. Always look forward to seeing the next episode on your channel Chad and Jolene. Brilliant work and thank you.
Great Jon Chad! Tip: Use Sign Vinyl Transfer Tape to cover any substrates you want to keep clean, once you install it you can just peel it off.
Loving the window building, Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your time
Chad, you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
“Respect” is all I have for! Cause every video you teach and it’s real! Thank you for what you two do for us!
Great job! I love that it worked out and like that we saw it in real time! Y'all always stay real. You inspire me daily!
Chad have you thought about putting in a thermometer to help out on how hot the inside temp is in the box? Maybe a meat thermometer would work for you. Just a thought. You do great work.
Well done guys and thanks for shearing your skills. This will be useful for many customizer around the world. I watch you from Norway. 👌
You certainly know how to troubleshoot issues. Keep up the great work Chad and Jolene.
