These sort of repairs are my day to day - I've gone good at doing them through endless repetition. I no longer give them any thought. Pal came in today - I had the back axle off a big sprinter van where the mounts had all corroded away - I was rebuilding the mounts in order to re-fit the axle. No other place would even touch it. Sprinter will go out with that back axle solid as a rock. He was amazed that it was even possible - to me it was just another day at work. I see the same vibe here - just another job, no biggie - that only comes from long experience. People see it & think it is amazing - Chads going "Well this is a doddle... todays a Holiday Day!"
Isn't it fun when your skills flow after daily practice. It becomes like second nature. Congrats on achieving that with this type of work, if only so I don't have to.
Great explanation. Can't believe no one has sponsored you with some cordless tools. It's a game changer. So many new tools out. Hardly ever plug in a sander, grinder, saw any more. Pretty reasonable if you shop around, in US at least.
Hi Chad, Jolene, Doug, and Fina, this was a very educational day on dealing with sill plates and rust. Some states in the US have inspections however, we do not here in Wisconsin and even the states that do I believe are just mechanical inspections. Nice job everybody as usual!
finally you went with 'store bought'. I mentioned that last truck rocker repair and got chastised for the even considering that. Actually addressed as negative comment on following video
Chad, nice to see you helping out and that you’re not “too good” to just help with a rust repair on a relatives truck. Kind of like having Picasso paint your bathroom.
The master at work! Thnx Chad and Jolene! I'm about to do my 2011 GMC and you answered every question I had. Your channel is by far the best! I'd say Chad was a hard ticket back in the day! With that said, I wouldn't want to get on the "BAD" side of Chad now lol.
i just put home made rocker panels on my 57 chevy wagon and i painted the insides of everything before i welded them on. i also used a Lenco panel spot welder to weld them on. it makes it EZ but everything has to be clean for the welder to work.
Look what this man does in one hour !! Bad Chad, you are amazing and queen Jolene you’re the other half of the team !! I’ll bet you there’s a whole lot of people who are going to do this by themselves now or at least try. Thank you bad Chad and queen Jolene for sharing your knowledge. 👍🏽👏✌🏼😎🥇🥇🥇
Chad, you're a very generous man. The explanations and tips are mind blowing. I love watching you work in real time with zero BS. I fervently observe every move Thanks for the great job you are doing and the inspiration you visit on our young people Most others try to impress them with how impossible it is and all the expensive and unobtainable tools they need to do what you do with a zip wheel and a mig welder.
Chad in my experience welding on a car I always disconnect the battery ground side. As welding on the car the ground current travels through the whole car, there is a chance it might travel through the alternator or even worse the cpu { computer }. Good luck as always. Bob from Fresno, calif
Yep we always disconnect the battery dont want to be blowing wiring, batteries or on board computers, if he got a bad earth and fried the computer he is up for a lot of money, not sure how much over there as people trash vehicles after a few years, here they are expensive, even jump starting or charging batteries is a risk, Doug should know that being a mechanic and all.
@@jamesmatheson5115 oh wow are you being critical against bad Chad?🤔🤔 that’s a first.🙄🙄 it’s just amazing me how jealous you are that bad Chad make millions and you don’t !! You must stay awake at night Thinking about bad Chad. 😝😝😝😝😝
I did some rockers on an 02 Cavalier that no body shop would touch. I just followed what I thought made sense. Remarkably the steps were almost identical to how you did it. I was pretty proud of how it turned out.
Hats off to Chad for not only doing the work, but being a patient teacher and effortlessly changing gears and welcoming random visitors without huff, puff or attitude.
I really appreciate Chad’s explanation that these repairs are not a restoration but just “good enough” to pass inspection.I would like to see the final product.
Great video. I have a Chevy S10 that has some rust starting to come through on the front of the rockers. Solid for now, but this will be needed in a few years.
I spray all the internal nook and crannies with Fluid Film rust prevention. Seems to provide excellent protection for lower body panels, hood and trunk seams, etc. this truck really could have used it.
Hi chad, I enjoyed todays presentation quite a bit,,it’s something a lot of guys can use,I have done it here at hone myself,,hi to Jolene an Doug an Tim an fina too, luv you guys,,👍👍😀
Gotta appreciate a good shop hand, someone who will keep things organized, and learn the tricks and eventually be able to know the next tool needed before it’s a thought! Good job tho, I call grinders Tasmanian devils haha
that flange tool you got from harbor freight has a hole punch that i have used when overlapping the flange and weld through the holes-worked real nice for me.
if i was the truck owner,i would not have doug who is working alongside chad on the truck replace the old door handle. the truck is old,and he is helping on it,just the right thing. should of said don't worry about it,truck is old.
I see a z Bart undercoat plug in the rocker panel. when they sprayed inside the rockers the drain clogged the drain hole.. common problem ever vehicle. Great job guys doggele what channel those cheap gm handle. There worse today..
Enjoy watching your builds, but on the late model stuff, never do rockers (you call them sills) without doing the cab corners. The price is negligible. And , although I like your idea of using be excess rocker to patch over the bottom of the cab corners. It's not enough. If you don't think so, mark this day on the calendar and in 2 years look for rust boils just above the repair. I'd go with cab corners and cut them down so the weld seam is about 8 inches above where the rust hole is, or just below the belt line. Great content. Thank you.
Your should start your own channel Doug, of doing mechanical work or anything along those lines. I'd follow your channel no problem, I bet lots of others would as well.
Good help is hard to find, Doug learnt quick that the biggest issue is organization of tools. Makes a huge difference when tools can be used, abused and still organized
I have this sill repair to do on my classic Hillman its had cover plates tacked over the holes so it gets thru the 6 monthly inspections but I want it done right so that will be me doing it, More stick out at the torch lowers the amperage for welding thin metal without blowing holes
Hello are you guys beautiful day today rise and shine I see where you're putting the rocker panels on and no undercoating underneath but you could put some I believe it's like a rust converter they got it where it's clear it's almost like a reducer type material or should I say like water but it would help from a trusting anymore they got several different names I cannot think of it right off hand just thought I'd throw that out there
Chad you mentioned that you are repairing to pass inspection🤔we don’t have this kind of inspection in mi if at least half the car on our roads would not pass inspections are Canada vehicle laws sound really strict ! Now my question is when you build a custom car does it pass the same inspection when you and Jolene were Australia and some of people were talking about their cars what takes to have the hot rods & custom cars the things have to get them on road and them on the road great video once again 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👨🏭awesome welding job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My rant for today🤔🤔 bad Chad explained this job is to just pass inspection, and not anything else but to save Timbo money. But yet there is a handful of people who are saying he should’ve did this and he should’ve did that etc. etc. etc.. !!! You either don’t watch the whole video and listen to what he has to say or just can’t stand bad Chad showing you up !! bad, Chad has one of the most successful UA-cam channels about this kind of work, but yet you try to run him in the ground. Y’all must be really really living a very sad life that you have to try to criticize other people !!!!!
They don’t care about rust in New York! I can’t believe how strict they are there! If I had my way I would outlaw salt and calcium chloride! And anything else they use that make vehicles rust. I have a 2000 F350 Ford pickup truck I don’t drive in the winter that doesn’t have a bit of rust anywhere on it! I’m an old retired disabled mechanic that can fix many things. But I’m no body man! Your videos inspire me to try and fix some rust spots on my cars. I tell others about your channel because it amazes me!
Chad, I’m thinking about repairing a small half dollar sized rust hole in my truck bed by cutting the rust out and welding in a new piece. I’ve never done it before. What kind of welder should I be using?
Hi Chad your Canadian inspection is not as strict as ours in the UK as you would have to fully weld that panel all the way around to pass a UK Ministry of Transport test cheers Vic
Awesome video but man, help these people out for the future , I mean if you are gonna take the time to cut the old metal out, what about spending another few minutes with a wire wheel and get the loose crap out, and then spray in some simple rust convertor, not undercoat, it chemically stops the rusting process, a lil prevention while ya are there fella.. even a qwikie can plan for the future just cause ya ar e there.
using dually wheel on single wheel front spindles currently on frame will completely change steering geometry. Your stock steering geometry is designed for single wheel that centers on spindle / axle and bearings. Dually wheel move wheel / tire centerline out like 8-10" beyond where it's designed to be putting load centerline of wheel / tire same 8-10" out from where it is with stock single wheel rim it has now. I have a drawing of front axle ball joints showing wheel stud backing plate and how it is off-set out so dually rim tire is centered same place on front spindle as single rim tire on steering axles. Problem is I can't attach it here in UA-cam. :(
I think it's important to realize the Texaco doodlebug was not a road vehicle and never exceeded 35-40 MPH. It spent its life on an airport tarmac refueling planes.
ha there han whats ur take on using ospho to clean the rust i was long haul trucker for years but i did body work n used acid to clean rust [ospho[ sure save on all that grindin
Inspection/collision repair usually look to just be safe & last typical life of car. Longer than it was with 60's & 70's cars. Those @ +100k miles were often ready to crush and become Jap imports.

Rocker was hand bent on a brake
@@robclawson2931 i know that. The rocker is made by the guy that sold Chad that big body machine (?)
Chaddy….you need to give Doug some Hiltz swag….no doubt in my mind he needs it….Steve
Chad, nice to see you helping out and that you’re not “too good” to just help with a rust repair on a relatives truck. Kind of like having Picasso paint your bathroom.

Not necessary with MIG. Exhaust shops ‘never’ disconnect the battery.
@@howquick Isnt most exhausts isolated with OEM fittings? Plus its a clean material, so guarantee a good ground and strike, just asking.

Great job for no money. Lenghty video but necessary. Not a lot of unnecessary stuff we don't need to know. Good job sir.
Excellent content for teaching how to do these jobs correctly every vehicle needs the sills eventually .
@ChickenFarmer-ep2bp so what's so wrong about it?
As chad says, this just for inspection/mot if it lasts 5 years the rest of the truck will be dead. It’s not a restoration, it’s a repair
I really appreciate Chad’s explanation that these repairs are not a restoration but just “good enough” to pass inspection.I would like to see the final product.
Must be trying to decide the next step on the doodlebug. I would say figuring the engine to install as well as getting the metal to cover it with.
Another great lesson on repairing sill plates and keeping the cost down!!!👍🇨🇦
Still waiting to see Joleene's Jaguar engine running !
Give it time it will happen. Not everything comes together overnight
Bad, Chad’ world don’t revolve around you. It’s all about content that the majority wants to see and that’s a good business move.
The most important time to wear a respirator not just a dusk mass is when you’re grinding rust
Timmy is lucky to have you for his rust fixer upper GR8 camera work Jo 😍😍😍😍😍
Way to go guys. Still think you and Jolene are the best on u-tube. A real down east treasure. Cheers
AMEN TO THAT !!😊
Chad the first few minutes of this video I saw a body mount for your 46 coupe.
Great video. Hard to believe the rust and old sill was removed and new sill fitted in less than an hour while recording a video.
Great video. I have a Chevy S10 that has some rust starting to come through on the front of the rockers. Solid for now, but this will be needed in a few years.
Time for a new project!
I spray all the internal nook and crannies with Fluid Film rust prevention. Seems to provide excellent protection for lower body panels, hood and trunk seams, etc. this truck really could have used it.
I hope this gets finished Tim 😉. Looking forward to it...
Another jerk, but yet he tuned in to watch bad Chad
@@brucewitcpalek5120 Yes and Bad Chad ask for comments and opinion! So there jerk!
@@roypowell3450 yes, comments but not insults. There’s a big difference jerk
Doug is definately a keeper..top bloke.
He needs more rope, he's clearly good at this stuff😎👍
Nice job Chad and Doug and Jolene on Tim truck THATS WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE WHEEL THE OTHER DAY
Hi chad, I enjoyed todays presentation quite a bit,,it’s something a lot of guys can use,I have done it here at hone myself,,hi to Jolene an Doug an Tim an fina too, luv you guys,,👍👍😀
Gotta appreciate a good shop hand, someone who will keep things organized, and learn the tricks and eventually be able to know the next tool needed before it’s a thought! Good job tho, I call grinders Tasmanian devils haha
Great Job. Cover the rusty inner sill with bare metal rocker 🤦♂
Im surprised you didn't wire wheel the rust off the inner sills and zinc prime before fitting the new sill. Just my opinion.
Better check out those running board mounts
that flange tool you got from harbor freight has a hole punch that i have used when overlapping the flange and weld through the holes-worked real nice for me.
i spent 2 days last year working on the rocker panels had bad rusr on the bottom but the sides under the plastic were amazin still but i got it done
im glad you made this video ,reason being,ineed to to do basically same thing to my truck-thanks
Good stuff in this video. Remember, Doug needs a pair of them nice Brunt boots....
would like to see the whole job, enjoy what you all do thank you

Soooooo cooool!

great job Chad & Doug & we can't forget Jolene
Wow! sparks on the seat! LOL!

An important repair as many cars suffer from this problem. Chad shows us how. Jolene makes a great video of it.

Are the dual front tires on the front of the Doodlebug going to hit the framing when you turn?

Hi Chad and Jolene, Doug from Trois-Rivieres Quebec
No inspections where I live, but for how much longer? 20min north has inspections. Many plp just register to a relative down here, then no inspection
Love Chad's t-shirt
Figure he’d at least say “ hey we’re doing something else today. “ No mention of the Doodlebug
He mentioned that he pulled it outside for the day
@@DavidParnell-cz4pk ....and that he may show it later.
starting to be annoying

good idea with the mirror
good job men ,, remember it is Nova Scotia ,, not hollywood , cheers

Don't ya just love those self tappers? Sianora to you guy's too !! .. Doug liked it also. 1:10:23
