I STOLE Parts Off My ROLLS ROYCE To FINISH My 67 Camaro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- I bought a 67 Camaro RS for only $6,500 and I'm taking it to LS Fest East in only 5 days. We've got the rebuilt Powerglide transmission and the LS2 from J&J Auto Wrecking in and now the former SAAB engine is getting the complete Holley Terminator EFI treatment. The new windshield is installed thanks to my friends at Blue Collar Collision and Glass. All that's left is tying up odds and ends then we can turn the key.

Imagine how quickly you could build a car if you used both hands :)
spray the micro switches for the headlights with contact cleaner, i bet that improves them
Indeed, have fixed window switches in an old jag spraying with just wd40
@@yourgay3226 wd40 is no good, it eats the carbon contacts over time and will destroy the switch, Deoxit or servisol is actual contact cleaner which wont eat the contacts
As a wire man myself (Avionics tech), it’s nice to see an automotive guy that takes the time to properly wire up things rather than hack up the harness.
JR never throws duck tape on anything he fixes.
Nice work!! So excited the rear for the Rolls finally made it there.
In between 8'00" and 8' 08" John Ross has a haircut.
Incredible, nice catch
Amazing!
John Ross ☺️
You are funny!! I thought it was just me. But he did! Ha ha
I really wish the Amazon scammers wouldn’t have hung up. That would’ve been great lol.
Check out Jim Browning or Kitboga if you want to listen to some really good scam baiting.
8:05 something looks different. Got it - haircut. Lol
I had to rewatch a bit when I noticed too.
Rocknroll.so good to see this 67 come back to a new life.great segmentation of updates nice to watch and learn.
I kinda like that JR posts super late. Its like when the Aussie tubers upload but its great for night owls here in the states.
In my country (across the pond) is super early,like 5-6 am which on the other hand is super convenient because i can watch him before work
LOL! The sleeper 3rd gen Sentra shirt is rad! That is exactly how I wanted to mod my XE Coupe, SR20DET out of a JDM front cut, Tsuru front end with the projectors, SE-R trunk lid with the deck lid spoiler and extra SE-R center reflectors and SE-R side skirts. Adjustable suspension, eight spoke Watenabi's topped of with BFG KDWs.
I've seen a lot of hot rods and restomods (and cars with systems) with bad grounds. Its one of the most overlooked things during a build. Glad to see you doing it right.
Big 3 ground upgrade:
Batt - to frame (if applicable)
Batt - to block
Batt - to body
for the clip on wiper GM was doing this until late 90's.
Caprice/Impala SS are like that.
GMT400(C15/K15 and all up) until 99 in the 2500/3500 truck.
I understand probably 8% of what John says and it’s still the most interesting UA-cam channel I watch
Hahaha. I bought a 67 Camaro in 82 for $500. Wish I still had that car. I have the same serpentine belt tool. Love gear wrench tools. Can't wait to see the finished product.
In the mid '80s, I bought a series of $500 cars. Bought a 1953 Cadillac in 1985 (leaf springs suddenly shattered on the rear left wheel, punched a hole in the gas tank, severed the brake line, sold the car to a mechanic). Then I bought a 1974 Cadillac ambulance for an RV in 1988 (got stolen), then a 1973 VW Thing in 1989 (got stolen), then a 1975 VW Beetle (got stolen). I was so sick of my cars getting stolen (I lived in a slum in San Jose, California, with thieves and villains for neighbors), I gave up on cars and rode my Dad's 1970 Schwinn Suburban bicycle around town until that got stolen (1/4" thick chain cut with big bolt cutters) and I moved on in 1993 to Honda 250 and 750cc motorcycles of the late '70s.
I would have loved to have a 1967 Camaro in the mid-80s, but the thieves would have just stolen it.
You're getting so good wrenching with one hand!
Gettting old watching JR rush thru a build only to fail will his driveway be able to fit another LS swapped failed project. LOL! Woul have rather scene a proper build done to this car.
When doing a LS swap, it's IMO to get the car running the way you want it first, then tear it apart and fix the cosmetics. I put mine together first and decided along the way to put twin turbos on it, I had to prefab everything to make it work, had I painted all the engine bay, it would have been scratched and had holes in it. Jr. Works on a budget just like most people so that could also be a factor.
And to think if you built the original 327 there wouldn't be any wiring hassles, bolt on a carb make a few adjustments and done. Would have been done days ago and for less money.
Make sure you have ground straps from body to frame , and engine to fire wall . Or risk melting your wiring. Ask me how I know.
I know how you it sucks
Its over 9000!! Nice DragonBall reference haha
I came down here to comment this
Hmm, something is fishy with your R8. Three months seems to be a very long time for a tuning. (I'm no expert just a thought) Maybe a surprise inspection is in order, just show up at the shop and ask to see the car.
I can’t believe WatchJRGo doesn’t have over 1 million subs, he’s the best auto channel out there!
Very beautiful car i hope you put some love in with thr paint and underneath it as well .
I stopped, rewound, and watched more times than any other WatchJRGo video. And still was lost. Let's watch it again.
Another great episode. For anyone else out there needing a throttle pedal for a cable it looks like the pedal for a straight six from the first gen camaro or 68-74 straight six nova.
I thought they used vacuum for RS's in 67 then electric motors for 68 and 69 oh well guess I was backwards mine is isn't a RS.
When you get to the brakes is you go power you might want to consider a hydroboost it would leave a lot of clearance and engine vacuum wouldn't matter.
8:04 pops out quickly to visit Nancy Polesi's hair stylist.
The next build should definitely be JR’s hair 😂
Hell yeah JR! Couldn’t be more happy for y’all and your fleet of amazing rides!
Glad the rat rod is coming together enough to go have some fun soon and you can always swap whatever you snagged back to the Rolls as you get the parts you're waiting on.
Hes not keeping it a rat rod forever. He said after LS fest he's gonna do a somewhat cheap/moderate resto
@@ultramagnushurts Yeah, I know but for now it's a rat rod which is fine. When it's finished it's going to be a great looking car. Right now it's a fun car with a great engine.
I wanted to LS swap my car but after watching this series hell no.
Hi Jon, Please keep the trunk lid un drilled. If you must run a spoiler buy a repop to modify, I think they sell them pre drilled Keep the nice original lid for later or for me to buy...lol I have a buddy who can bring it back from the LS fest.
6:46 the car on his shirt reminds me of my first car, '88 Mazda MX-6
How can I not be jealous of someone that can get more done with one hand than I can with two (or four if I had them). Thanks JRGo! 🤦♂️
I'm looking forward to the frame off restoration.....considering the camaro is a unibody vehicle. Lot's of cutting to get that body off the (non-existent) frame!
It sort of has a frame, but 6 bolts hold the front suspension and cradle to the shell. It’s kind of a bastardized unibody.
@@texan01 not really, those are called sub frames k members or front clip, most unibody cars are built this way. A "frame off" assembly is typically used to describe a vehicle that has a body on frame construction.
You should drive it to LS Fest.That would be awesome, and make a video of the journey.
I enjoy the cheap car flips rather than these involved builds
Go For A Ride? Agreed. I like that he says “cheap $6500 Camaro is looking like a $20k car” - after spending $25k in parts.
His channel used to be only cheap flips but he got in trouble for dealing without a license. Maybe he should just get a dealers license 🤔 I mean I'd buy a car from JR!
Remind me again why you didn't take the rolls to the ls fest ? I mean the Camaro is an excellent choice but the rolls is simply unique...
Back in the day the tint on your windshield was a option it fits the time period
Welcome to the one handed mechanic's show.
I was thinking something bad happened and you had to send the R8 out to get finished. Its been so long. I don't even remember ever seeing it move under its own power.
I'm REALLY looking forward to the frame off restore videos on this car. I have always wanted to do a resto-mod on a car like this. Not gonna happen for me so I have to live vicariously through you!
its nowhere near as easy as it looks in the videos believe me
PWM: Not sure if it is the same but I have a small diode laser that is controlled by PWM. If no wire is hooked up to the PWM pin the laser fires at full power.
BTW: a constant 14.2 volts won't boil the battery, it's the amps the alternator puts out that will do that. 14.2 volts at 1 amp won't even charge the battery more than a trickle. 70 amps constant will fry it.
You gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done!!! Even if that means robbing Peter to pay Paul!!!
Dope man you still find time to get your sides trimmed up keeping it clean and you change the shirt to stay fresh
I need to find me a sponsor so I can buy some cool stuff for my cars.( or a better paying job). John Ross, you are my idol.
Hopefully the axle doesn't break under all that POWA
Single leaf spring = Axle wrap= wheelhop
Entertainment factor is pretty much on par with shows that have gone behind paywalls.
Watch JR blow more money!! Excited to see it done!!
Those alternators default to 13.8v with the internal regulator when you loose the field circuit
When you loose field circuit control
That motor is going to shake all the Rust off the car lol. Poor RR it’s loosing it’s parts but for a good cause. Great video
Jake's Volvo 850 R shirt is epic!
Seems like you guys have single handedly populated that square mile of plastic in the ocean with the packaging for your parts.
I like how you just make use of a chair to work on an assembly.
Can’t wait to see this thing running! 😎
Thumbs up for the "over 9000!"
On your way to Kentucky you should swing by Midwest Military in Missouri and pick up M923 then tug of war with your new Ford
Thanks for the R8 update, JR!!!👍
Cambric electrical insulating wrap. A nonstick wrap similar to tape with excellent insulation, mechanical and protection from variations in The Luck and Stuff plus it can be removed quickly and cleanly leaving no resin dudes. Commonly used for electric motor connections to make things easier when The Shit Stopping The Fan.
Good general electrical tape is 3M Super 33 and slightly thicker Super 88. Some self vulcanizing rubber splicing tape is great for making damn sure nothing goes pooffft. 3M makes reliable tape, it isn't cheap and if it seems crazy expensive then keep looking they're gouging or were gouged themselves.
Wire we here?
There's company's that sell pcm bypass when car audio guys are upgrading to a bigger alt and need higher voltage
I hope your channel blows up soon. You deserve so much more subs
If I were you I would request a picture of the R8 with a current edition of the daily newspaper.
Black spark plug wires matter
I’m a Fraud Support Specialist at Amazon. These types of scam calls are OFF THE HOOK right now with everything that is going on! It was hilarious that you guys got one. Probably would have had you buy them some gift cards lol.
So many interesting vidéos... Great job. Thanks a lot Sy
LS fest, perhaps we’ll see you there
I'm absolutely staggered that LS Fest is even running. Here I am in Melbourne (Australia) where the whole city is still on "stage 4" lockdown (not allowed more than 5km from our houses) until at least the end of September. Has the US just completely given up on controlling COVID?
there’s no national response. It’s state by state and some states are oblivious to the problem. You guys have real leadership. We have the orange faced buffoon.
Won't be able to do ls fest this year, hopefully next year though!
I'd say JR cursed this build by calling it 'turn key' lol...but hopefully the last keys are getting turned.
JR I love this series dude!! You know what would be awesome? A 4th gen Celica build
Shirt: big bold text 3 lines
NOT
LIKE
THIS
JR logo on back
You should totally add a sticker of the Kool Aid Guy on the door. I remember in your Kia video you did a Kool Aid guy impersonation lol
Maybe their taking your R8 for a joy ride like the valet guys did in the Ferris Bueller movie.
Those pwm alt run at 13v without a signal
People say they’re iffy... but I agree, it should just charge all the time. The mechman is cranking out 14.7 on start so it’s working perfectly! 🔋
Been a fan with jr since the beginning, his video popped out from youtube , and always watched his video since . Eastvan hooligans passing by, come check us out.
Nice job but I hate robbing Peter to pay Paul. Put the Rolls back together!
8:05 BAM! Haircut! 😂
Hi From Vermont
Make it go!
Good haircut.
You're busier than a 1-armed paper hanger. Mainly b/c you film w/ 1 hand & wrench w/ the other. Wonder how you do it, but you get stuff done. Good luck tomorrow. Hope the ignition switch doesn't shoot craps on you.
So why didn't you finish the rolls royce for this LS thing?
He didn't know where or when the axle was going to show up for the Rolls . It was stuck in somewhere land. And already has too much time in the Camaro to start messing with the Rolls.
@@robertsturtevant6185 that would make sense. I was more asking why he didn't start this whole saga of LS fest prep with the rolls in the first place. Its way more interesting to me than the camaro.
Don't askmewhy but theneg side. Of battery needs a 12 gauge wire screwed to the sheet metal. To make everything charge and work right
take those headlight motors apart clean them and lube them well and they most likely will come back to life.
I prefer Tesa tape on wiring harnesses.
Big fan hope to meet you at ls fest in bowling green!
Haircut at 8:04! Damn that was fast!
Spam calls are fun, I work security, and some sites I cover have a company issued phone. It's really funny to answer "Security Officer (My name here) speaking, (site name here), how may I help you?" *android hang up noise*. Occasionally I will get a "Uhhhh..." or "Oh..."
So you know, the foam on the jack handle has a purpose.
Love the channel and content!! The Camaro is coming along great considering the time crunch you guys are under.. I didn't even know you had a Rolls.. I'd love to have a Rolls but my budget is tight, so it'll have to be Swiss by Little Debbie..
Dear JR. Please don't put your amazing videos on after midnight! Disturbing my sleep pattern.
Lol In my country This video pop up at 5am in the morning
..wait a day 🤣
If I could help Watch JR Goes work on the 67 Camero I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and puff on the Cannabis Cigars and get all schmoked up.
Wow, you found a gen 1 camaro roller for $6500, nice score dude
I love the Camaro but would it have been easier to send the rolls instead of the Camaro?
maybe but he said he didn't know when the rear end was going to show up. It just showed up with 3 or 4 days left before he has to leave. He couldn't take the chance, plus he got offered the car he wanted so he was gonna buy it anyway.
You should make the Rolls-Royce a daily driver hot rod would be a sick hot rod cruiser
You think those plugs are nice, you should see the Extreme 10k's.
I like the camaro much better than the rolls, glad you stole parts from it instead of taking it to LS fest. Im older and just prefer classic muscle cars, my dad hadba 68 when I was a kid and bought it new, I didn't show up til early 71, he loved that car, but he died in 94 from an aneurysm in his aorta, miss him, and the car. Good luck getting the car ready, God bless.
CAN WE GET SOME INFO ON JOSH’S GAMING CABINET?!? Just like 10 seconds?
"It's over 9,000" classic. showing our age if we know what that means.
When you get the R8 back it will have 10k more miles and need rebuilt
20:12 Was gonna say that car's probably long gone from a chop shop lol
It's over 9000!
Maybe the Camaro parts will fix the Rolls someday......
The Rolls does it's own thing 😁
When are we starting this LS? Been expecting to from the last couple of video's. Really enjoying the content and JR's delivery is always good.
