On the hunt for the next project so we stopped in at our friend Andrews to check out what he has kicking around his shop. You just never know what youre going to find here. New episode this Monday night on Discovery

Now that all the welded areas have been skimmed with fiberglass reinforcement body filler it's time for automotive body filler. This is how and why filler is applied for show car finish www.youtube.com/c/badchad

There is more value in the process of building something than there is in the actual product itself. www.hiltzautoco.com

Today we are applying a rustproof and waterproof fiberglass reinforcement body filler. It will be applied over all welds for strength and durability. Here are two different ways you can apply fiberglass filler over welded areas www.youtube.com/c/badchad

We used a 1937 Dodge chassis with a 305 engine that had 37 original miles for the 1938 Ford Hotrod from Heaven Get ready for the next episode of BAD CHAD CUSTOMS Monday night on Discovery where HILTZ AUTO CO. builds a bike youve never seen before...

We are getting ready to prep the Bugatti doors for body work. First, we have to scratch up the surface with a D/A sander with 40 grit sand paper. This is to promote adhesion for the body work www.youtube.com/c/badchad

When it comes to welding up a car, it’s just as important to grind it right then it is to weld it right. Here are some tips for grinding off lap welds www.youtube.com/c/badchad

Today we are fabricating a two piece hood into a one piece hood and this is how we're going to do it. This method will give us the perfect gap along the cowl and the hood sides. It's a lot of welding but it will be worth it... here we go www.hiltzautoco.com

Hood sides are smoothed off and look great. Next up, we are going to be welding the two piece butterfly style hood together to make it a one piece hood. We will post a video tomorrow of how we are going to use the car as a 'buck' to manipulate the hood to fit. Stay tuned and thanks for watching www.hiltzautoco.com

We got the fountain sprayed with epoxy, now it’s ready for paint. Any suggestions on what colour it should be? www.hiltzautoco.com

This is a very simple and effective way of 'smoothing' out hood sides. This method will not only accomplish the right shape and design but it will also give the car more structural integrity Watch full video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mTfPUIrPB0&feature=youtu.be

This is what our Saturday night looked like

There's nothing textbook about building custom cars. To build a custom car you have to be able to take everything you've learned inside the box and apply it to what you're creating outside the box. Jolene was asked to 'custom' weld these running boards and this is why www.hiltzautoco.com

It’s Saturday and it’s time to sandblast this antique cast iron water fountain that we picked up last weekend on a trade Watch full video on youtube https://youtu.be/mxRJkvPp-lo

Today we are fabricating a set of running boards for the 1940 Plymouth using exhaust pipe, a cardboard pattern, 18 gauge metal, angle iron, a zip cut and a welder www.hiltzautoco.com

Got the first piece of the fountain sandblasted and the arms welded back on. Would anybody like to watch the sandblasting process on the next video?

To build a bike that stands out means we had to build a bike that stands out #BADCHAD is on tonight at 8p ET on Discovery Canada
