Chad and Jolene hello, I have seen better concrete patching than they did on that but, with time it will hopefully blend in better. I did notice that you have a motor sitting outside. If that is a good motor then I would suggest covering it up, with no air cleaner on it if it rains or snows you will end up with water filling the cylinders. I had that happen on a boat that I had and the water that got in the cylinders froze and cracked the block. The Bugatti body is really looking good can't wait to see it with a fresh coat of primer on it. I will tune in tomorrow as always!
its nice to have a slower day and organize everything for the next steps! For my first two paint booths, I used two old(1960s) gas-forced air blowers that had a 3 speed switch. Im cheap. Lol I built two boxes one on each side, and where i could install filters on the intake, one before the blower and a few after. It kept the neighbors from complaining about paint dusting blowing on everything outside. Then when i built my third and final shop, i did it proper. Built a building/booth attached to the end of my main shop so we didnt have to take the cars outside to the spray booth, it had those nasty sticky filters. Then I used the old furnace blower setup at my home garage workshop. Those damn blowers last forever, and it was really nice to have 3 speeds. Have a great weekend guys!
How can anyone not get excited when your on the threshold of completion of a beautiful automobile ? Jolene you and Chad just have to go on a road trip wit this car ! You got to show her off to everyone. 👍 THUMBS-UP ALL THE WAY ON A JOB BEAUTIFULLY DONE ,!
I don't ever feel bad about a short video. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Concrete repairs happen. Concrete is Concrete. It takes 28 days to cure. It's obvious that the floor has been polished. It will be a few days until that can be done. It will always be a patch hopefully not so obvious forever.
What was the reason for concrete repair? Seems like they would have at least cut them square - and in line with each other… Did you go with a heated floor?
Why did the concrete need repair? Also I don't know why that concrete has all those dark swirls all over it... I wonder if they are going to be polishing it or even epoxy coating it in t he future.
So Chad asked the question about what we think of the concrete repair. My initial reaction was that it didn't look too good. It would be interesting to know what the reason for the repairs was. Square "plugs" of repair kinda ruins the look of a large pour. But actually, I'm more concerned about the light and dark swirl patterns on the concrete as if it is wet which seems to be throughout the new building.
Getting closer to primer on the Bugatti. As far as the repairs to the floor I would be more concerned about the in-floor heating that is there as well.
Very interested why does a new concrete need that many repairs what happened glad to see you're finally able to separate the projects that is very nice can't wait to see it all complete
From David here in the States, you and Jolene are doing a great job at things Chad. You guys keep doing what your doing and everything will work out fine. Much love and respect to you both❤️🙏👍😊
Yeah I would agree repair on concrete is not so great but I’m no expert myself beautiful building sir !! Your hard work is paying off sir thanks for the videos
Every day it is getting closer to paint.... I can't wait until that day.... This is were it all started for me watching you and Jolene.... 2 years and counting!!! thanks for sharing and I hope to meet you both in the near future.....
WOW that's my dream shop BC! I totally enjoy watching you 2 create what you make with the basics.If you ever need a custom hand made gas hit me up because Crafty B has your gas hole covered! I'm cranking up my channel after a break with my how to build a cheap foundry series if you want to start sand casting.
Chad, plastic car covers can trap moisture and cause rust. I use cloth car covers. You concrete repairs are probably the best you'll get. Yes they look like shit.
I say I hope that the pachisi on the cement are not finished to me they look like crap 💩 . the exhaust pipe should go over the rear end. It be nice if you had in the paint area on the walls 4 x 8 sheets waterproof bathroom panels up so you cud use the garden how's to rince the walls with water and the floor on the selling use air to get the dust off that way you would have a clean no dust . Just before you paint you wet the floor that way when you are moving an walking when painting you don't stir up dust that maybe in the paint area it would be so so horrible an upsetting to fine dust in your paint job after all that time and work you put into the car
I have some questions. :) Is that tiny fuel tank anything like the original cars had? If not, why couldn't Chad make it like the original. I understand you saying this is going to be a "nice day car" but still....you don't want to be stopping at every corner to put gas in. What kind of fuel mileage are you expecting? Also, and this has nothing to do with the Bugatti. I Hot Rodded 1957 Chevys in my day, and I modified my favorite one to have a tilt front end. I used the original front cap, with the original huge front bumper that tilted with the cap. I mounted the radiator on the frame horns, and the battery on the firewall. One person could open and close it in about a half a minute, did not have to cut the lower back part of the fenders by the cowl like most people do, and it could be opened to about a 45 degrees tilt, or over a 90 degree tilt with a quick on-the-spot modification. When closed, you could not tell it was a tilt. At the 45 Degree tilt you could perform about any work you can imagine on the engine in comfort. And, in about 5 minutes by unplugging two harnesses at the firewall, and removing two large nuts on the front frame horns, two people could easily lift off the whole front cap. A lot of people don't like the idea of not having inner fender wells, but I never had any problems with rocks causing dents or anything, and it was a daily driver. If Chad would be interested in doing this to one of his cars, I can send him some diagrams of the way I made the brackets and mounts. Chad is the best at metal working I have ever seen. And Jolene handles the camera like a pro. (Which I guess she is!)
Chad, I think you pulled the chain a bit too quick on moving your cars into that new building. You should have painted the floor with Cloverdale Epoxy Sealer for a number of reasons. The sealer would give you an impervious layer that would not allow grease, oil, gasoline, or fluids to penetrate the surface. Tire marks erase easier. It's easier to sweep up, and it's brighter and you can put designs on the surface, or put lane markers to help you park cars correctly making efficient use of the space you created. (Colouring inside the lines, so to speak.). Also, those surface repairs would be hidden under the epoxy coating and not bother you so much.
