- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- I bought a 67 Camaro RS for only $6,500 and I'm taking it to LS Fest East. There isn't a lot of time to get ready so we're swapping in an LS2 from J&J Auto Wrecking bit.ly/GoJnJOH
The LS2 is getting the complete Holley EFI treatment and some BRAND NEW HK Wheels as well. I love the way the wheels and tires came out, can't wait for the body work to match the drivetrain!

I rebuilt this just for the numbers matching crowd... Hope this appeases you 😛
Eh? Ten years ago numbers matching meant something. Restomods are selling for more $$. I've bought a few classics over the years with a trunk load of OG parts. I like to keep some cars stock only because everyone molests them. Normal is mainstream lol
meh should have put a built t400 in it

JR
get yourself a unit of RVS....
it will make the transmission shift like brand new
It's truly magic in a bottle.
Builds up friction surfaces to factory spec while you drive.
My 1993 Honda vtr250 had a SERIOUS rod knock and slipping clutch.
60 bucks of RVS and the knock was gone, compression restored and clutch grabbed great for 10 years before it finally died.
Got about 40k miles on a virtually dead machine.
Why¿???????????
Red Rider7 you have 2 moms instead?
Shout out to the older generation and their vast knowledge of all things mechanical
It is too bad we are losing most of them and there is nobody to fill the void.
@@mexicanspec just have to soak the knowledge up while we have them around
My Grandpa died at 89. He was actually a Aircraft engine mechanic during the time of the Korean war, actually went over. Then he worked for 45 years as a pipe fitter and precision machinist for PPG. Swear to god he could rebuild a Ford 351 in his sleep, could probably build you a damn helicopter out of a ham sammich and a coke can. That old generation knew their stuff
Thank you varry mush, Thank you varry mush!
true will soon be a forgotten art, like plumbing , history, and anything technical
Your dad rocks. You should have him on your channel more
Love this old school engineer. "I gotta start the jet engine up but I have something cooler" Big two stroke diesel. Legend.
I’m sorry how does a dad help his son fix a car without cussing at his son constantly and telling him to hold the flashlight where he is working?!
"You are in my light!"
I wish that i coud work so good with my dad.
Or beating him with a pair of old jumper cables 🇦🇺🦘
That's hilarious! I hated working on cars with Dad. He wasn't patient at ALL!
Wait, we have the same father? :D
Anybody else get super stoked to see JR's dad?
The senior Ross should have a fan club -- he's like a walking encyclopedia of mechanical/electrical knowledge, It was a true pleasure and privilege to watch him work and see the way the two of you get along!
Better than Scotty Kilmer for sure!
@@tyson4739 -- AFAICT Kilmer is a decent mechanic and an hilarious U-Toober who's correct more often than not. The impression I get is that Ross Sr. is an engineering-level expert who I'm sure would never indulge in Kilmer-style exaggeration and click-baiting.
His dad reminds me of mine. They broke the mold after that generation.
Very cool that you and your dad can work together on this! These memories will be with you (and all of us) forever. Great work fellas!
What a gift to have your Dad with his years of experience to learn from. Also, that 2 stroke disel at 300 rpm.... Wow.
With Josh, your dad, and the Ninja you have a kick-ass team
I think Josh, JR, and Gabe should get a 40'x40' metal building with a two post lift to clean out their respective garages and not have to borrow other people's garages
I love watching you work with your Dad! He’s still teaching and correcting you . Priceless. ❤️
I like your dad: "I rebuilt one of these in 38 minutes, once...."!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s hear it for Dad pockets , everything you need , to hand
Get him on more , he’s a mine of info and do humble 🙏🙏🙏
You know this man is serious business when he fills up both shirt pockets.
Your Dad is amazing. You need to do more father and son projects. I like to see what other things he can do. Your Dad is amazing.
Your dad, his skills and the accent are awesome, more vid's with him please! 😎
Your dad needs to make videos. He reminds me of an older mechanic that i knew that i just used to pump for information all the time.
Dang, your dad is like a machine on the transmission rebuild.
Love to see the old school approach from a seasoned vet. Another great video.
About to go to bed and JR posts a video. I guess sleep can wait!
Super late tonight... takes a while to render and upload the longer videos 😢
Yep same 😂
@@WatchJRGo Build a ryzen7 desktop for your renders :D
Your Dad's a natural. He needs his own channel JR.
When your dad is so cool he rebuilds your transmission. Damn I wish my dad was that cool
Nothin like workin on something with your Dad 👍
JR, your Dad rocks! What a wealth of knowledge. So lucky to have him!! Cherish everyday!
Now not only is the '67 Camaro your dream car, but now you can say your dad helped & that's a memory you'll have forever.
I just came in here to comment about how much I enjoy listening to your Dad but it looks like I wasn't the only one! Dude is a wealth of knowledge. Even him talking about restoring tractors was fascinating. Keep it up man, really enjoy your content!
ScubaSteveGTR thanks bro!! 💯
This video is everything I loved about Kansas. Good hard working people that love getting things done. Always wanted to go back.
Nothing like starting the day with a new watchJRgo video! Yes it's morning here, I live in Sweden 🇸🇪
DAD!!! love when you make an appearance!
So cool that you're rebuilding Powerglides just like your grandpa! Always love seeing these videos and all the knowledge and wisdom your dad has. Keep up the great work.
JR is one fortunate guy! With a dad like he has, it’s easy to see where he inherited is love of mechanical things.
What a blessing to have a father like that. I wish mine would of spent an 1/8 of the time with me.
Thanks JRGo, your dad is such an amazing trooper. Knowledge, patients, and skill all good stuff to have. Old school is the best school (if you live through it). And thanks to Dad for the mini powerglide course. ✔✔✔
I just hope you realise just how blessed and lucky you are JR. I never had any Father and Son time...My Dad died when I was just 4, and my only son died at just 10 days old. I had great fun and times with my 2 daughers now in their 30's but I never had the Father and son experience!!
It makes me smile to see you two enjoying life and sharing knowledge together.
Cheers, Bob
I love when JR works with his father. He is one serious guy. No playing around when dad is involved. 👍👍
I am convinced that the population of Kansas could conquer the world with what they have laying around in their scrap piles.......amazing feat of home-grown engineering/up-cycling
That generator is bad ass! Your Dad needs a UA-cam channel has so much knowledge! Like seeing father and son doing projects together, good stuff.
Shout out to your dad. Love watching experienced folk make things look easy.
JR- you’ve got a lot in life to be grateful for... but, to be able to do projects with you your Dad... and, to be able to continue to learn from him is an extraordinary blessing. ☺️
It is so cool that you and your Dad can do a project like this together. Don't take that for granted it's a great experience that you can look back on years from now and cherish.
I absolutely love the old those old 2 stroke Detroit diesels the sound is music to my ears
John Ross, enjoy these times with your Dad they are precious moments 👍 I loved watching the two of you working together. More please 😀
"Thanks Dad!" Enjoy spending time like this with your dad... there'll come a day when it won't be possible anymore. (you guys must live near me... I'm in Independence, Mo)
Just watched the ending... your Dad is a lot like my Dad was... a vast library of mechanical knowledge, and a LOT of COMMON SENSE!! Even re-wiring a generator for higher voltage... awesome genset!! Try to absorb as much of his wisdom and knowledge as possible... better than college... in the long run.
Your Dad is brilliant! Glad to see him getting the appreciation in the comments he deserves.
Enjoy and cherish the opportunities you have to work & learn with your dad. This video reminded me of when I was in my teens & twenties rebuilding wrecked cars with my dad. I was 27 and he was 65 when he left us forever. That was 33 yrs ago. I learned so much from him. Spend as much time as you can with your dad. You'll be glad you did.
I love that your dad saved that monster from scrap.
When a friend comes in clutch... Lol no pun intended 😅😉😜🤣
Your dad seems really chill and full of knowledge,cool dude all around
I lost my dad a year ago. This video just warms my heart! Enjoyed watching.
I will gladly sacrifice sleep for yet another epic video of you and your dad working on anything... Having never rebuilt a transmission or disassembled one, found this incredibly insightful. Thanks JR!!!
You can see a healthy respect and a lot of knowledge has been passed down! That was really great to watch!
Awesome video, love that bonus footage with your dad and the generator
I enjoyed the education from dad. I wish that all younger generation would learn these type of things. Your dad is awesome! Keep up the good work!
Wow, you really *glided* your way through that rebuild!
Kinda feel like this episode should be called "watchJR hold the flashlight"
John Ross it's real nice seeing you work with your Dad
You're Dad reminds me of mine (who I lost to cancer a few years ago) that will save anything that's useful. Both engineers that have the know how and skill to save and rebuild old equipment and save $$$$. That generator is impressive!
The amount of knowledge between these 2 guys could fill a library. Nice work.
Being a dad myself, I can only hope that I can pass on half the knowledge your dad passes on to you and in such a humble manor.
How is it that you don't have a drawl like your dad?
I' like to see more of him. Maybe he and you do a channel together.
I learned a great deal about cars from my late Father . I still use alot of that information and his tools to this day . Passing the torch is important .
Father and son team. How cool! My youngest son and I are rebuilding the engine on my old '86 Mustang GT that is now his. Lot of fun for an old man pushing 70. Thanks for the video. Your dad is awesome!
I love that you worked with your Dad on this transmission rebuild...WOW that man sure has a lot of experience and knowledge!! Plus, the fact that your Grandfather worked for GM building powerglide transmissions is awesome knowledge! Carrying on that generation with that kind of experience will be a tough one.
Years ago I rebuilt a PG on top of the dryer in my garage. They can be fiddly, but they are amazingly strong and serviceable.
After watching a ton of your videos, it’s so wild to see the dynamic between you and your dad!
I used to work at a church that was in an old AT&T building, and it had a generator just like that was "stuck" in it as well. When we finally found someone willing to haul it off for free, we had a room big enough for a children's class. It was cool to hear your dad's running...
Seeing you work with your dad was GREAT! It also explains a lot on how you do what you do. A+!
It’s awesome to see a great father son relationship it is something I have been blessed with as well but others don’t.
Love the montage music. Modern Vintage Gamer uses it a lot and I always appreciate it.
A great workshop there, and with backup power all ready for the next Zombie Apocalypse, Snowstorm, Twister whatever. I loved my dad (R.I.P.) now long gone. Can I please have your dad ? The workshop he comes installed in, would be an extra bonus. Your dad is great. You're so lucky. I can see where your love for cars and skills to repair them came from. cheers and all the best xx
Thanks JR. It brought back memories of rebuilding Chevy transmissions with my dad, many moons ago. He is gone now, but I still hear him talking to me when I work on things.
Cool Dad. Really knows transmissions. You two work well together.
This makes me miss my grandpa and hanging out in the shop. He knew all these little tricks and was patient enough to let an 8 use the drill press or welder.
What a great video with your Dad, keep them coming! That dude has obviously built a bunch of these, work with him every chance you get and remember every minute. Now we know why you are a mechanical guru, you were taught by a mechanical guru. Loved his tech tips throughout the rebuild. Just watched it a second time, I never do that. I spent every weekend of my youth in the garage with my Dad, damn I miss him.
Thats cool time spent with your dad, priceless.
Any video with your dad is excellent.
Your Dad is a real hoss. I'm amazed at all the fine people who help you.
This brings back memories. In about 8 years time at the largest transmission remanufacturing co. In the world I've personally rebuilt in the neighborhood of about 35,000 transmissions. It's been awhile and I still have part numbers for components floating around in my head. Btw we called them Output shafts and Extension housings lol
J.R your dad is my freaking hero. It's no wonder you're so mechanically talented. He's a wizard!
Hey JR Pop makes a cameo! Good to see another senior mechanic still active! Love the RS project JR. 👍👍
Love seeing you work with your Dad!
Love the old 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engines. When I first started working on generators I used to work on a lot of them. There are les and les of them everyday. Totally stoked your dad saved that one. Looked like. 6-71 series. Or is it a 53 series.
Based on age it could easily be a 53. If the model number is on the placard first digit 5 is 53 series and 1 would be 71. 7 is also see for 71, but only in the V config. That’s either an in-line 6 or 4....hard to tell with all the gen bits added.
mike demaret check out bus grease monkey on YT. He is a Detroit diesel specialist
Scott Williford it’s a 6-71. Very easy to tell the difference between 53s and 71s because 53s have small valve cover bolts on the outside and 71s and up have bigger bolts in the center of the valve covers. Also to my knowledge they never made a 6-53 only 6V53 and 4-53, 3-53, and 2-53.
Well, we see that the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Love seeing you and your Dad working together... reminds me of my dad and me. One summer, we rebuilt three automatic transmissions (2 TH400s and a TH350 out of 2 Buicks and a Pontiac) working in our carport with jackstands and a lot of muscle!
On this episode of WatchJRGo, I show you why my Dad is cooler than your Dad!
Your Dad is immensely COOL. Respect given for what he knows and does. 👍🏽
Again, a full size aluminum restaurant sheet pan is a wonderful thing to have on your work bench. Catches the fluids. I use them all the time. Under the round drain pan, to sort and clean parts, and of course the rare times I'm rebuilding a transmission
What a great group of Americans. Jr & friends you make us proud. God bless you all
Wow, your dad is like an old school mechanical genius, please have him in videos more often!👍
Your Dad rocks, John. Give him a big hug from all of us.
I'm actually glad to use that transmission but not because of the numbers but because of the sheer beauty of that transmission a lot of racers actually use that transmission or they used to there are a lot of parts that you can acquire for those like different valve bodies and better clutches larger front pumps and of course the ubiquitous stall speed but who knows how hard they are to come by right now at this time so hats off to you guys for what you're doing hopefully it'll work just fine. Stay safe stay well and as always God bless
they are easy to find stock but very expensive to prep to stand up to large horsepower numbers
Thank you so much for the reply I would imagine they are pretty expensive to find the exact right parts to build one for some high horsepower these days there are so many other transmissions now that can be used hardly anyone uses them. I remember when I did a Chevy swap to a 67 International Scout we used a 2-speed Powerglide and I loved it it was a really good transmission never had a problem with it. But then again we're talking quite a few years ago. Stay safe stay well and as always God bless
i need a friend like that airforce josh you are lucky to have a supporting friend like him resourceful and talented .
Your dad should have his own channel. He is very knowledgeable
I love it when your dad or brother is in the videos
JR’s Dad: “it was 240 but I hacked it to 480”
Just tie the two 240 lines together and . . . bam, 408v.
@@leonarddaneman810 Not necessarily. Tying two voltage lines together doesn't put them in series, i.e. additive.
@@Boss_Scaggz yes . . . or, maybe there were two transformers he had to deal with . . . 480 volts is enough to power a small hi-rise.
@@leonarddaneman810 Yes, he probably used a transformer, which was my point. To your second point, to "power" something, you have to think in terms of power. Voltage doesn't mean anything without current, but it's probably pretty powerful.
@@Boss_Scaggz No telling without the schematic . . . could be it had an output panel for multiple lines . . . Nice generator though. 2-stroke diesel . . .
Great video, enjoy the time with your dad. I sure do miss working with my dad.
Lol, commented before I finished video... I know your dad, GREAT guy, has helped me in the past!
22 year phone guy here. Just thought I would share those Diesel engines come from the central offices. When outside power goes out the Diesel engines kick on to provide power for services. Depending on the size of the city you can have rooms full of them. That’s the smallest one I’ve seen. Where I work the Diesel engines are housed in tractor trailer containers outside the central office. Cool, seeing yours dad keep one alive.
I have that exact generator that came out of an AT&T switching building in Memphis TN, got it free just to remove it.
We got that one for $500 lol
Your old man's a beast with that impact, guess the fruit does'nt fall far from the tree.
Love seeing your dad and his knowledge in the videos.
Your dad is quite the technician. Kudos on his ingenuity.
Ok, we need a channel where dad barely talks and just gets shit done. No offense JR 🤣
