Special Guests for our 50th Annual Event
Chad Hiltz aka “Bad Chad”
In a small, hand-built shop in a rural town lives a car artist like no other: Chad Hiltz aka “Bad Chad”. His one-of-a-kind creations spring from his imagination, a mind that never stops. Isolated and without extra spending money, Chad always had to be creative and resourceful. Using only basic tools and his limitless ingenuity, Chad will incorporate literally anything into his car builds, parts from a boat, airplane, even an old locker. Part MacGyver, part Willy Wonka, if Bad Chad can imagine it, he will find a way to build it. Each episode takes viewers into the mad mind of Chad as the team works together to build some of the most outrageous vehicles ever seen. The excitement is in the journey, watching Chad’s creative mind create one of a kind masterpieces on a workingman’s budget.
Jolene Macintyre
Jolene is Chad’s business manager and also his fiancé. As Chad happily points out, she is the brains of the operation and in charge of keeping the builds on schedule and budget. It's never an easy task. And this former college soccer star isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty — she won’t hesitate to jump in and help with the builds.

Joe Martin
