The original body molding was completely rusted out, so we’re recreating it from scratch using a $150 bead roller and a step die. It might not be fancy equipment, but it gets the job done. The key here is precision. The molding needs to match the original perfectly, so we’ll be doing a lot of finessing and fine-tuning to make it look like it was never touched 👌 | Bad Chad

It’s time to lay down the lines for the second color on this three-tone paint job! We’re using fine line tape to create sharp, clean divisions between the colors—this is where precision is key. The roof and hood will be yellow, the middle section will be purple, and the bottom black, giving this Pontiac a bold look that will stand out from the rest 😏 | Bad Chad

It’s time to peel back the tape and see what we’re left with. This paint job, like anything in life, is only going to give back what we put into it. We took shortcuts. We took risks. And now, we can only expect results that mirror that effort. This wasn’t a build that deserved our full effort, so we gave it just enough—and now we’re about to find out if “just enough” was enough. Will there be crisp lines, or will overspray have found its way where it doesn’t belong? No matter the outcome, it’s a

This shortcut is one we’ve developed over time, and it’s saved us hours of labor, product, and thousands of dollars. Instead of applying two-part putty over the entire car like most people do after bodywork, we’re skipping that step completely. We’re using high-build primer to fill only the spots that need it, refining the surface with precision rather than coating the whole thing. Right now, the car looks like it has chicken pox, but trust us, this method works. All those little tape marks on t

Sanding the panel with 40 grit to see if we can clean up the imperfections. Not sure if the tension was too strong on the english wheel or if dirt particles were to blame—but either way, it left some fine lines in the metal that we’re trying to smooth out. | Bad Chad

The car world is packed with perfectly restored classics, some with $250,000 to $500,000 poured into them—every bolt, every panel, flawless. And that’s great for some people. But for us? That’s not the goal. Like Bad Chad always says, “They’ll lean on that car just to look at ours.” What he means is—we’re building something different. Something that grabs attention not because it’s perfect, but because it’s bold, raw, and totally our own. This build was done for under $10,000, and it’ll still st

This is what you call rolling the dice 😬🎲 Painting over multiple surface colors—like the red paint and primer on this ‘60 Pontiac—always comes with a risk. Normally, we’d use a value shade (either black or white) to get everything one uniform color before spraying the final paint. That helps ensure even coverage and a consistent final look. But on this build, we’re skipping that step and going straight to purple, hoping it covers everything smoothly without any issues. Would you risk it or tak

Trying to get the engine unstuck by pushing it in gear... spoiler alert... it worked!!! 👏 ALWAYS try the easiest thing first. If this didn't work, we would have taken the starter off to pry the flywheel back and forth. The only thing we used was diesel fuel in the cylinders and heat from a heat gun ⛽️♨️ | Bad Chad

We’re moving the Hot Wheels-inspired 1940 Ford out of the paint booth so we can throw the ‘60 Pontiac in for its full color change. This Ford is a special one—built after one of Bad Chad’s favorite Hot Wheels cars as a kid. It’s been on the back burner for a while, but one of these days, we’ll get back to it. For now, time to focus on the Pontiac! 😎 | Bad Chad

The secret to painting a car without texture 🤫 Spraying at high pressure can definitely kick a lot of overspray into the air—and yeah, that technically wastes product. But here’s the thing: the end result is a flat, smooth, shiny paint job with no texture. When you spray low and get texture or orange peel, you could spend a week or more sanding and buffing it out just to get that same finish. So what’s better—wasting a little product, or wasting a ton of your time? Where do you stand? 🫠 | Bad

Grinding welds with a cutting wheel is one of those things that looks reckless—but when you know what you’re doing, it’s all about precision. It’s risky, yes—but the cutting wheel lets you take down just the weld without chewing into the surrounding metal. Not for the faint of heart, but in the right hands, it’s a clean and controlled move. | Bad Chad

We turned this old swing set into the perfect parts holder for painting. A bit of wire and you can hang everything from headlights to buckets to fenders — keeps the parts steady, off the ground, and makes spraying a whole lot easier. Work with what you’ve got, right? 🔧 #painting | Bad Chad

We picked up some red vinyl pinstripe that we’re going to lay down between the purple and yellow paint. We chose red to tie in with the red interior, helping the whole build feel more connected and intentional. It’s a small detail, but it really adds that extra bit of personality and style to the car. Plus, it’s super easy to apply—we’ll show you how we do it and how something this simple can make a big impact on the overall look. Sometimes it’s the little things that pull the whole vision toget

This is the car that started it all. The car Bad Chad promised to hand-build when we first got together, as a way to show love, passion, and prove what was possible with nothing but scrap metal and determination. It’s the build that caught the attention of Discovery Channel, brought cameras into our shop, and helped put “Bad Chad” on the map. But as fast as the spotlight came, the Bugatti got pushed aside. Between filming a TV series, growing a full-time YouTube business, and building countless

The interior is getting all-aluminum panels as we stick with the NASCAR-inspired theme for this build. It’s giving the car that raw, race-ready look we’re after, and we’re excited to see it take shape. We’ve hit a small snag with the door glass that we need to figure out before we keep fabricating, but once that’s sorted, it’s full steam ahead. Appreciate everyone who’s been following along—this one’s really starting to come together! 👏 | Bad Chad

We ordered paint… and it’s the wrong color. Instead of that rich burgundy-maroon to match the legendary Indian Motorcycle shade, what showed up is bright, fire-engine red. So, we’re going to mix in some black and see if we can dial it down to the deep tone we actually wanted. | Bad Chad
