Thread: New Discovery show

Tweet

Have any of you guys watched any episodes of the new Discovery Show, Bad Chad Customs? There isn't much drama and he does build some neat stuff from scratch/junkyard parts. He uses unorthodox ways to work with sheet metal but I can relate and his end results are sweet!

Saw the ads but haven't watched it.
Not sure I will. His ideas are to extreme for my tastes.
Building 60's style cartoon cars. Whatever.

His build time must be short being up north. That shop don't look like its well insulated. I know I'd like to meet him

saw the green thing and the chopped up 36. no need to look further. i wish him well but just not my cup of tea .

Watched 5 minutes of it, there 5 minutes of my life I wasted. What a hack.

The object, I guess, is he see's it in his head, and goes for it. Parts I saw, where pretty cool to see. Not that I plan on changing my truck structure like that, but, ideals on inside, and outside, are not the same as the next guys. That is what I got from it. Everyone usually runs a small block chevy engine. What's so different in that to the other guy that has a small block chevy ? He even runs the old Flathead engines, 6's and 8's. Lots of things to pick from where he lives. Hell, nothing left where I live to pick... Just my own opinion of course. It was -29º below here where I live, all re-runs on the shows, so I had nothing else to do... Hahaha

Yep 5 minutes was plenty. Been @ this game (In business) for over 45 years and I can spot a butcher in less than 5 minutes. Doesn't have a clue how to do it the right way, Just cuz ya can mig weld and bend metal doesn't make any 1 a custom car builder.

But, he is trying. I wouldn't buy one because it's not my style of what I see.

Oh he's makin it all right, Discovery channel is writin a big check. Just don't need to waste my time. He's probably be better off just takin all the junk he's got and sell to a scrap yard, plow his fields and plant.Sit on his ass and watch it grow.

I guess some people may go for what he does. Not me.

I didn't really care for a few of the things he has built but he has done some pretty cool stuff. Especially the last car he did for the country club. It turned out pretty slick and has an early hemi too.

is it still on ? i watched about 3 minutes of the first episode .. could`nt get past that accent and the nail and hammer build techniques .. " gunna beeld sum nice cares " we are ....

Pass all the way.

Great show, I really like the weird and bizarre stuff.

Only car show I bother watching is Graveyard Carz. No drama and Mark Worman seems to be a pretty nice guy

I just watched the graveyard carz. It was ok, a better reality TV than the others. The guy is a bit of an ass though.

I like Graveyard cars too but you say there's no drama there? Uh, IDK about that. Have you watched all of their seasons? I haven't watched the last 2. I am trying to not get hooked back into thinking I need to work on a mopar until I get some other stuff done. Haha
