Chad Hiltz, know as Bad Chad is the founder of Hiltz Auto Company and he is the star of the Discovery Channel’s new show, Bad Chad Customs. He runs a hand-built automotive customs shop in Nova Scotia and he is an artist like no other. Chad’s one-of-a-kind creations spring from his imagination using skills and resourcefulness to build cars using parts from boats, airplanes, and even an old locker. Part MacGyver, part Willy Wonka; if Chad can imagine it, he will find a way to build it. His neighbor once said, “Chad could build a Bugatti out of a chicken coup!” His new TV show, Bad Chad Customs will debut today, January 1, 2019, on the Discovery Channel.

Found Chad about a year ago, learned a lot from his Friday videos, don’t let the success of this show change you. Don’t become a cookie cutter car show,keep teaching and passing on the hot rod fabrication art.
I’m an absolute bad chad #1 fan. Chad is doing what body men in the buisness imagine they could do. I recorded every episode and I’m waiting for season 2. I would like to see more on the wiring of his creations from starting the motor to the brake lights. What do you actually use? Old harnesses , new, make your own? Love every minute of you and what your doing! I think your pretty funny too sometimes being a little goofy loving what you do. Love the show! Thankyou!
Chad is one of a kind for sure. Thank you for writing.
