We appreciate everyone’s concern regarding the race car we’re building but let’s keep everything in perspective here. We’re not building the race car for the road, we’re building it to the requirements of TROG - The Race of Gentleman - pre war racing, flathead engines, bias ply tires, etc. We encourage you to do some research on the event, watch some UA-cam videos of the actual races, read the rules and requirements and it might start making sense to some of you who think we’re out of our mind 😆 (click link for photo reference - facebook.com/559300744084172/posts/5082129781801223/?d=n)
you do you we enjoy and appreciate the videos
Sorry Chad but have to disagree. You are still building a race car. This 2021 not 1951. Be real.
My only concern is something holding hot fluids let’s loose I do get wanting to see the motor love all the builds I enjoy seeing how peoples minds work and thought process when doing something also appreciate you explaining your thoughts why you do something the way do have great day look forward to the next live
having looked at the site you reference I see cars that have bodies also have a proper firewall and the bodyless rails are open and just like a motorcycle a fire is not contained inside the car and it also very easy to exit said vehicle
@@mrbill6594 I agree with you not fire more like coolant wich is close to 200 degrees like I said no problem with the build at all that is why they are called custom
Now! The purpose of a fire wall is to slow or stop flames from entering the cabin. With a perforated metal wall you do not have adequate protection from flames 🔥.
Don't forget about fuel or oil getting past a perforated wall. It wont pass tech inspection at the track.
I am unsure about beautiful Jolene’s protection with a firewall full of holes. If fire strikes under the hood, it will definitely come inside the cabin
Hmmm perforated metal firewall ? Won’t that let lots of Heat in on Jolene ?
When you’re done you’ll have a nice pattern to make a real firewall that will keep your girl friend safe.
How many people think that Chad should race his creation himself instead of putting a clueless (to what can go wrong) Joleen behind the wheel?
@@trevor5929 you're only seeing an hour of the day. So you're the one that's Clueless. You have no clue how it's going to be used and in what situation. This car is being built period correct. Most of its life it will be sitting on the custom trailer behind the tow vehicle he's building, meaning it's built for show.
I'm afraid Chad I'm with the last commenter. You should never have a firewall with holes in it . It is called a firewall for a reason
CHAD, I am a “Total” fan of your show! I hate to challenge your choices! But, having some experience (I am 77 years young) with old dirt track “stock cars” (welding was expensive so we chained the doors shut) of the 40’s and 50’s era, you have made the driver a lot less safe by using perforated metal for firewall. Exhaust fumes, Un-burnt gas from carburetor, burning belts/coolant and tires - is ALL going to be going straight into the driver’s compartment - and that is very dangerous. I know your obsessed with “extra weight” …….. but this is a mistake! Carbon monoxide makes a driver firms sleepy - then they pass out.mJust saying ………..
You got that right!
I didn’t even bother. I think these videos are made prior to these comments. You have to ask yourself, why is it called a “firewall”
I agree. A lot of heat, danger of road and God forbid engine failure debris along with dust and road dirt could endanger the driver too. Please reconsider firewall with sheet metal. It would only be a few pounds. Love the show. Safety first. Kind regards.
not to worry,, the pitman arm will probably break before a fire
22g steel would be a better fit. Light and tight! He could add a window if he wants to see in!
A firewall that lets fire thru, what will they think of next! I would rethink this one!
Name ANY car that has a perforated firewall. The idea is to stop hot or burning fluids and amazingly flames, from coming in contact with the occupants. What do you think will happen if a fuel line or water line lets go? Sometimes your ideas make no sense what so ever
One more time for emphasis. The firewall is a safety device to keep bad stuff from the engine out of the driver’s compartment. A rod through the cylinder wall could easily result in hot burning oil spraying all over the engine compartment. Without a solidly sealed firewall, that oil, flame, smoke, etc. can find its way to the driver's compartment. With a perforated-metal firewall, that still could easily spray all over the driver. I doubt you plan to get a Top/Fuel-type fire suit for Jolene. If she’s racing in street clothes, she would have no protection from that fire. Please don’t make the firewall from perforated metal.
Fire wall ,means exactly that! I agree. Cutting down on weight is not allways rhe best answer.
@@65cj55 you can call it a bulkhead -- the rest of the world will call it a firewall
Weather u call it a firewall or a bulkhead it still does the same thing, protection from the engine compartment, blowing a coolant hose is enough to wish u had a solid one
@@krisharris18
How many cars has he built or repaired for customers in the past year?
UA-cam would be his primary source of income.
Too many haters on here , this is pure entertainment people, Chad knows what he's doing, he's a car building expert and he's perfecting the click bait button lol.
Well, I hope you change your mind on the material used for the "Fire Wall" since it supposed to be a barrier between the fire and the driver. It cant be that if its full of holes. Even steam, or Oil can injure a person.
Jolene please refuse to drive that car until it has a proper firewall, one that will stop fire, hot liquids (water or oil) and parts from entering he drivers area. Would hate for you to be injured or disfigured by Chads choice of using a perforated fire?wall.
Not to mention the steering column that will impale the driver if it comes in contact with anything. The old VW dune buggies were good for that
I don’t think we have much to worry about, they may never run under their own power.
Yeah, I'm not too keen on the perforated fire wall either. Why not close it off from fire, fumes and smoke?
Hot water, fuel, oil leaks, hot air could come in on Jolene now. Just saying…
This is a death trap lost my subscription bodgy hair pin front bbq fire wall who in there right mind would line up on a drag strip next to this I hope they have tech cert at track so no one gets hurt with rubbish like this can't belive a skilled fabricator built this
I am hopeful that you will be lining this perforated 'firewall' !! Drag race track regulations and Jolene's safety are to be considered.
@doberfag doesn’t look like a tractor 🤔
Can’t believe you are putting perforated metal in as a “fire” wall. Any engine fire and so much for a good looking girlfriend.
I agree, I’m starting to get irritated with some of his very questionable fabrication.
Hopefully they won’t pass tech and he won’t put Jolines life in jeopardy!
@@larrydavis1648 🤣
@doberfag how quick can you unbuckle and open doors on a motorcycle?
@doberfag - no body on a motorcycle - to hold in the engine fumes/fire - if it occurs. Totally different situation.
It's very unsafe. Chad needs to use that brain more for safety.
I would think that you would make the firewall out of a solid piece of sheet metal to reflect the heat from the motor also in case you would blow a motor and keep that hot oil and coolant spraying all over your beautiful lady.
What’s the top speed gonna be? 35-40 mph? Gasser my ass-sir
Not much fire protection from a perf metal firewall. Kinda like a perf metal roll cage!
@@tobygathergood4990 he did mention a roll cage and harness when he was building the seat.
@@65cj55 bad assumption on your part. That'd be like assuming everyone who wears a seatbelt expects to be in an accident.
@@65cj55 one of the disadvantages of text is that it's very difficult to interpret tone. I'm not outraged by Chad's choice of material for what he refers to as a firewall. Just very surprised, knowing how deeply he adores Jolene. I also hope none of us fans never has to deal with one.
Nope, my first cars were pre-seatbelt , and my BSA never had one either. I always buckle up, myself. A High school buddy was ejected from the back seat of another friend's CJ. He didn't survive the crash. Other belted passengers did survive it. I wish you all the best!
Holes in firewall will not stop fire ,fuel or oil from coming thru to driver ! U might want to rethink this Chad
I’m gonna stop being nice, this car is getting more dangerous by the minute. I hope you read all the comments and come to your senses.
That "racecar " is gonna be a DEATHTRAP !!!
Chad my man you are seriously the best at what you do but holes in the firewall you and your brain need to rethink this one . Just looking out for Jolene.... Keep up the good work guys.
It’s time to roll this heap back out to the scrap pile.
Chad just wondering does the sanctioning body at the track you will run this at require a solid fire wall. This is to prevent any engine fire to reach the driver. As well do you not have to put a bullet proof blanket or 1/4 in steal around the trans in case of it exploding.
They would surely require a firewall but I don’t know about a scattershield. Even though this old six would probably never see the northside of 4K RPM a nearly hundred year old cast-iron flywheel coming apart could do a ton of damage. It may already have several cracks in it and just waiting to come apart the first time the engine is revved high enough. We have to give this man credit for his effort though. Don’t forget he’s just another guy trying to make his way through the short time we have on this planet. They won’t let him get hurt at a sanctioned track/race
Just not digging that fire wall, radiator hose blow or oil or gas comes back on her! I just don’t think it will pass tech
Chad you might want to rethink the fire wall there is no protection from fire or hot water or oil that might spray from the engine safety first
I like to see the welds as well. Check out Rat Rod Bob builds and see how he does weld stitching and paint. Very cool style! There is always something new to learn!
Please reconsider what you are doing, they call it a Firewall for a reason.
Chad I think you are doing some great things but you should not use perferated metal for a firewall because it is called a firewall for a reason, to stop fire from geeting inside the carr . So if you value your ladies life it should be made of solid metal and sealed between the engine and inside the car .
I’m thinking that you might want to rethink the material used in the fabrication of firewall . The idea is to stop fire from burning your beautiful girlfriend. Not hating but thinking of your gals safety . Keep up the good work
Hello Chad! I don't know what kind of rules that someone needs to follow for racing but you should think SAFETY when you are building a race car! I think a perforated metal firewall is not the way to go! If there were a engine fire a solid fire wall would be safer for Jolene!
Chad they call it a FIRE WALL because it is supposed to stop fire or any debris from coming into the cabin area . I just don't think it's safe , but you know more than me when it comes to cars , but I wouldn't put my wife in that predicament . But great video, keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families. 💯🤔🔥 ✌😁👍🙏🙏
Hahaha, I bet manny yelling right now , No No … to a perforated firewall…. Sorry Chad !
THERE IS NO WAY THEY WILL LET YOU RACE THAT CAR GOOD LUCK TRYING MATE.
STOP RIGHT THERE! DANGER! Jolene is hot but If you dump a piston out the side of that block she's going to be covered in hot flaming oil. or if gas leaks and ignites. Hot coolant Isn't going to be fun either. What you've made there isn't a firewall but a blast furnace!
Firewall making looks like FUN to make.
If ever there is a time to reconsider something that you are doing is right now. Let's see if Chad will listen to pretty much all of is viewers. I hope so. With much love to you two.
What is gonna happen when the motor over heats and coolant starts spraying , will that not go through the holey fire wall and get the driver Jolene.
chad, holes don't stop fire
all fire walls should have holes in it , it will allow warm air to blow on the driver on a cold winter day. great build.
Its like putting a screen door on a submarine. :)
Watch every day.
Don't blame Chad. Like he says "His brain told him what to do!"
The Angry Hup. Jolene drives Angry. That's how Jolene is gonna be, when the steering breaks, hits the wall, radiator blows out steam, carburetor fire starts an oil fire, and hurts the gorgeous girl. Bad Chad better be gone when she gets out of the burn center.
One benefit of having to climb over the top the getting in and out of the car so much, is the paint in that spot is getting buffed pretty shiny.
Are you friggin kidding me? A FIREWALL Full of holes, I’ve seen it all now. He definitely has a big life insurance policy on Jolene, no doubt.
This just might be Mad Max Art build
FIRERWALL MEANS TO PROTECT YOU FROM HOT OIL , WATER , FIRER
Happy Thanksgiving day in Canada 🇨🇦.
Great videos , love your style and enthusiasm , you get er done with what you have and not out of the box like so many that say they are building cars . Keep up the videos ,I enjoy your teaching methods and how you talk as your thought process is in the works ,I have built a few in the same method , I wish I was closer to your shop ,I would come work with you for the complete enjoyment of the process. Building and fabricating is more then half the enjoyment of the build ,driving the finished product to me is a small part of the fun. Thanks again keep up the great work I’m learning all the time
Never get that on any certified track Never pass safety inspection.
This firewall makes as much sense as a pine tree roll bar🔥🔥🔥🎄🎄🎄🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two
Chad, I don't think they will let the car race with a firewall like that.
Fabulous job lady and gent. Keep it going.
just wondering if the heat of the engine will come through the holes and get hot
I have never built a vintage race car . If i was to do one i would fine the regulations. Hopefully Chad has done that. Love all the unedited content . Keep up the great work
Nice work today, but I do worry about the perforated metal firewall being effective in the event of a fire.
I going to have to agree with Scotty walker about what you are making the firewall out of.
3 videos in one day. Awesome!
Can't wait to get home so I can relax and sit down to watch my two favorite people! Awesome job guys!
Won't pass tech.....
Got to protect Jolene !!
Mechanical brakes and perforated fire wall, what can’t go wrong wise up spend some money to make it safe it won’t pass a safety inspection at the race track
Hey don't you care about Jolene? Fire wall definition: a wall or partition designed to inhibit or prevent the spread of fire. I have watched you do some crazy stiff but you need to think about this one. Think real hard
No. thats not a good ideal. I see everyone has brought up fire, so I will skip that, but what if It blows a hose at 55 mph and Jolene is getting hot water all over her till she can get stopped.
Chad gives his girl so many complaints everyone should follow in his foot steps the world would be such a great place Hey from NC
The best part of fabrication is fitting things in a hundred times lol
Hot rod coming together nicely. Hope u paint it
Worried about the perforated fire wall.
No one works harder than Bad Chad
I really hope this lifethreatening build never leave his property.
A perforated firewall defeats the purpose of “firewall”. It’ll offer not protection from fire or fluid lines that might break This is very dangerous to driver
Looks pretty cool. It would be awesome to continue with some of your other projects so we can see one of them get completed.
Everyday a new adventure. Learning day to day.
Seems an awful lot of concern having a firewall full of holes …
I have to agree since a firewall should be solid … just Google how John Forces weekend went 🔥
Gonna look mint
Great to see Chad be able to Fab up anything he puts his mind Too ! Thank you Both !
He knows what he is doing. Its in mock up stage.
Your Perforated firewall gives a new meaning to a firewall. All good ! What possible could go wrong.?
lots of videos this long weekend in Canada , happy thanksgiving
Please tell me that you’re not gonna use perforated for firewall. God for bid you blow a hose or had a gas leak it’s gonna blow right into the passenger compartment I really would think you need a solid firewall
CHAD YOU NEED TO GO CORDLESS ON YOUR POWER TOOLS! IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE SO MUCH EASIER! LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL!!!!
nice work.
Tomorrow’s show is gonna be interesting after Chad reads these comments. Hopefully he will agree. For Jolene’s sake.
Fire wall is for stopping fire in car to protect driver
Please please please, listen to all of the smart people watching and wanting you to replace the perforated firewall with solid steel, for beautiful Jolenes safety. Also what is the key switch contraption on the steering column, get rid of this too.
what a great idea for a firewall, i think all cars should have one ,but we need to call it something else ,like suicide wall
Great to see things moving along
After the eighth thing in a row goes wrong, Chad just smiles and laughs. Nice reset.
You know Chad holly fire wall kinda defeats the purpose
Awesome !!!
Love the way you work through issues on the fly. I have done this some on the 27 T Rusty Rat I’m building. Keep up the spontaneous work. 👍
I hope it doesn't over heat. Still an AWESOME Build. 👌
Gonna be exciting seeing this car run down the track, hoping for the best!
hey Chad isn't the firewall for safety to seperate the engine bay from the passenger compartment in case of fire?
Nice firewall, built in heater/cooler, light weight version :)
🔥 Hi Chad, what about a hat? Nice firefence bye the way 🔥
Fade in to that panel with good thoughts!!!! Y’all are killing it
Outstanding creative juices always flowing through your veins Chad!
