Since you'll have storage tank of air , I think the Galaxie needs a set of Train Horns !!!!
YES!!!!
Thoroughly agree
Offroad Addict I hate train horns but I can't look at 13 likes without making it 14 lol
@@donneal5062 I mean come on....it would be fun
Offroad Addict lol ok fine you talked me into it
James never fails to impress me with his knowledge and skills. Feel like he can do anything car related.
same. dudes a sleeper genius
Certainly knows his stuff. Doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty either.
The Calias King Ausland the guy loves what he is doing
He’s the man.. if he had his own shop he’d be raking it in.
@@JSonder143 ahhhh but how do you know he's not raking it in? Cleetus loves his boys
James. So much respect for dude. He has genuine knowledge about EVERYTHING but is still a chill and humble cat.
James is a working machine with the best attitude. Give that man a raise.
How much does he make?
14 a hour only.
@@Jn58298 where do you find this info?
@@msg4lifesucka he didnt. He guessed. I promise you.
We lowered the Galaxie to exactly 0.8 Baja blasts off the ground
You live a dangerous life my man! ;)
Looks like 0.95 to me.
Michael Capurso
, what do you mean 'we'? I didn't see you in the video.
Hollywood sure knows his stuff...great video as always.
Guys, you can mount the controller anywhere, just use equal length tube and coil it up to run shorter distances. Just like speaker wire.
Exactly
Wtf is James background before you. He knows such a wide range of car in depth car knowledge. Make a small segment of a video of him explaining please?
Hands on experience mixed with some common sense
Also, it’s pretty easy to look up shit on the Internet if you know what task you need to do. I’m not saying he just looks everything up on the Internet, but a smart guy like James can pretty much build the space shuttle if they have a TH-cam video on it.
@@BikingVikingHH haha totaly agree. I always see comments on how amazed they are about James... well with some pretty basic knowledge and the internet its not really that hard to know everything... especially when you know what your job is going to be... its called research. Not saying hes not a smart guy, just apparently everyone else isnt 😂
Check out The Skid Factory, Al has a big background in fab work and mechanics plus common sense. But he has said he'll spend countless hours researching prior and during a project.
@bobwatters I have a uncle named Bob waters
Hey guys, if you haven't figured it out the reason the compressors run and turn off is because of the min voltage setting in the controller. Drop it to 11 and they'll run without cutting out.
That or there's a leak and cut in pressure is too high. Either way I'm sure they will figure it out, seems like this isn't James's first rodeo.
+1 I have airlift 3P and the cutting in out will show up on the controller as " low voltage" I changed mine from 12 volts to 10 and never had that issue again
@@disgruntledegghead6923 idk man he did say that line length mattered..... 10 psi in 30' of line is the same psi as 10 psi in 5' of line.... 10 psi is 10 psi. LUL Once pressurized the travel would be the same regardless with a manifold equalizing said pressures.... volumes even don't come into play with a manifold doing its intended job in a properly sealed unit.
@@510Redneck More drag in the longer lines. It's not about the pressures not being equal it's about the flow rate. Easier to push air through the shorter line so the flow rate is higher and the closer bags fill up first.
@@510Redneck I agree with you on the pressures, but the difference is that it would take 6 times as much air (and 6 times as much time) to put 10psi in a 30' line as it would a 5' line.
I don't want to blow anyone's mind, but just make the air lines equidistant no matter where the module is 🤣
that's what I was thinking, just run equal length lines no matter where you put it
Yup ^^^^ that
Yeah thats a way but the idea was to use the least amount of line possible. Mounting in the back means really long front lines and compensation in the rear. Putting it centerally means all the lines are half the length they would be mounting at front or rear. Half the length = half the time to fill
Yes you put a loop or two more tubing where you need it.
actually you dont need to do that with digital management. it has a calibration that you do on the first start up and it will pulse psi in slowly and memorize how much it take for each bag individually. then when you do your preset it knows how much to do.
I’d love a full video on James. I’d like to know about him and how he’s so incredibly knowledgeable to be such a young guy.
I agree, would be interested in hearing his story. Lets move to this the top guys.
"Lowrider" should start playing when the Galaxie squats down😁😁👍👍
m.th-cam.com/video/WeKw6c9aTJ0/w-d-xo.html
That's not an air tank that James is thinking of mounting behind the rear seat, he secretly disguised a NOS bottle to replace it🤣🤣🤣
Or saving space for two NOS bottles, one on each side of the fuelcell!
I wouldn't put it past him!!!
Propane
Does NOS even work with Diesel?
@@SIXPACFISH it works especially well with diesel
Hell yea! I got my Dad Bod shirt today. I wore it while cruising on my mower and drinking a Busch. 'Murica!
I think you meant to say Buschhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
*cha-cha real smooth*
Still think you should call the Galaxie “DIRTBAG”. Especially now that it’s ‘bagged’ 👍
bag-o-smokes
Bag o weed
Shout out to James, working hard for all of us.
U should get a little Groot for the dash to guard the galaxy
Guardian of the galaxy
James is always so technical I have to check my bank account to make sure he didn't sell me anything😲🤘
RAISE HELL PRAISE DALE!
My wife watches me watch your videos and asks me everyday! Have they cross the pond yet? I say no not yet. She says k let me know when they post the video of it. Any time frame on that? I know your very busy with everything going on!
DEAD BROKE GAMER dude my wife does the exact same thing😂😂 I laughed pretty hard when I read this
My wife is also as keen on Cleetus as me, anytime i am watching youtube and a new video drops, she says turn it up i wanna see what they are up to lol
I can’t be the only minitrucker that’s wondering what else James has bagged previously 🤔
Maple Media was thinking the same thing hahaha
Hello from Melbourne🇦🇺
When are we going to hear James get the toolbox we're off to Australia
worb radar g’day I’m from Melbourne as well 🤜🏻🤛🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@whilethecitysleeps4928 ayyye same!!
Kramer Cuolahan we gotta do a Cleetus cruise hahahahaha
Billy J...…. Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia where if Beautiful one day & Perfect the next.
Gotta wait till Summernats maybe I don't know :)
Dynamat will eliminate much of that rattle from the compressors
They also make isolator mounts that cut down on vibration
It's a diesel. You'll never hear anything other than glubglubglubglub.
DAMN i think James just diagnosed why my car raises up unevenly... the control box is mounted to one side!
HELL YEAH BROTHER
Liam Flaherty Absolutely incorrect. The amount of air contained in 1/8 inch nylon lines is completely insignificant in relationship to the volume within the airbag. Also, just like speaker wire, your lines should all be the length of the longest line required, and then coiled for the shorter distances.
?? Yh im saying they're unequal lengths you fucking shaft. And 1/8 lines 😂 didnt know they went that small
Omg it just hit me. We need to name the Galaxie Florence. As in Flo for short because this girl smooth af.
Yeah, Heavy Flo. (Family Guy.)
I Love this car. you guys are awesome! Keep these cool projects coming! I can't speak for everyone but a video with the tracker would make my day 😃
Abe Hemry I was literally just thinking about this. I want to see something cross that pond!
I don’t often get jealous of other people’s cars, but that galaxy is amazing
Jamie Huff needs a paint job
Gotta finish drilling holes in it first before you paint it.
The galaxy is my new favorite. Love the unpainted body.
roverdad well maybe like a fake rust wrap would be cool
E Rock true ig lol
James deserves a raise. He always seems to be the brains, Cleetus is the star, and Cooper..... we'll find something for you too Coop
I really like how much James has opened up over the past few months, and is being a bit more interactive with the camera. It's nice to see that perspective.
Reminds me a bit of the lowered Cadillac in ''Gone in 60 seconds'' from 1974...
Happy 4:20 from the Netherlands.
Paul ter Haar happy smoking !
Haha! They should name the galaxie “Billy” like the owner of that Cadillac in the movie and with that smoke stack the quote “billy you gonna get a ticket like this man, polluting the air”
@@andyamezcua7976 That would be far out man! LOL
I thought 420 day was 20th of April?
@@jamesmcivor340 I had to check what day it as because I never miss that day.
Just got my Pistons, Rods, and Dad Bods shirt. Hell yeah brother!!!
Brett Brumley damn! I need mine for Father’s Day hasn’t even shipped yet
Got mine on now!
Dang glad you guys said that! I was starting to loose hope on mine getting here.
Mines shipped
I’ve got mine as well 😎
James is a beast, but I wanted you to know I have put a cold air intake on a Chevy cobalt all by myself and I think my top end boosted to 72 1/2mph my 1/4 is still at 23.5sec.. I'm killing Yugos & stock 1930s military 3ton vehicles. Thanks for the inspiration & I was hoping to come see you while your at your shop & distract you from making an honest/happy living by bringing you Cheetos and wasting your time by talking about things I have no clue about.. I will see you soon (14hrs away if this compass works like a GPS)
Cleeter, I think this is one of my favorite cars on the channel. Next to Leroy of course. I just LOVE the way it looks
James Reynolds with the knowledge 💪🏼
That isn't his last name
James compared to Hollywoods Burt Renolds in a previous draggin ruby video posing w fans. Please review then ‘polergize Pandora’s
I see, my bad👍
I have seen the vid, just didn't make the connection to Burt.
you make all of days better and we forget about the world around us when we're watching !!!!!
Add a quick disconnect to one of the ports on your tank so you can add air from an air hose in your shop. That way your compressors won't have to work so hard while you're testing it in the shop. I had one on my set up to run a nitrogen bottle or for a shop compressor in case my compressors in my truck stopped working. Good job so far guys!👍
The best part about rubber washers, is the metal screws going through the metal floor will still resonate with the pumps running, i may or may not have learned that with subwoofer boxes and mounting amps to them years ago
Last time I was this early Leroy ran a 7
Hell yeah brother! A Cleetus video on my birthday. I couldn't be happier!
Happy bday CVNT 👍🍻
James is a boss at explaining things without making someone feel dumb
Its amazing How much james knows about cars..doesn't matter what car it or What year it is ...great work guys...
Hell yeah brother love all your videos man keep up the great work all of you there at the shop :) love from the uk
should make a shirt that says "I DID IT FOR DALE" and have all your cars on it.
I would flip the compressors around so the filters are faced outwards so they are easier to service, also puts less stress on the compressor lead line to the air tank. Just my .02, loving the progress!!!!!
James is the man, he's really getting it done at the shop and doing such a great job in Ruby - excellent driving and great feedback. You need to get rid of the panhard rod and put a watts linkage in, IMO
Can't wait to see what you guy go in store for the Engine.
Triple turbskies!
I was drinking a bottle of Baja blast when you you used one for perspective. lol.
Good spots for the compressor and tank, make sure you run the hoses and electronics in clean. You need a good check valve too
If that is a airlift it is self leveling and you can actually control the system off of your phone with the free airlift app because I have the same system on my bagged truck and I love it
Bag Deep Ferd!!
You should switch to bigger lines for quicker action.
No need; they are not trying to make it hop like some of those crazy cars in the movies.
Notification squad!! Hell yeah brother , do it for Dale!!!!
I bought a bottle of shampoo today because it had dale jr. On it
Do it for dale
James is is so smart. Love hearing him explain stuff.
If you want to shut the noise down buy some rubber matting you can cut. I worked at a marine boating place and when installing pumps we used to cut strips for the mounting brackets and drill holes for the bolts to run through. Makes a huge difference and also because it vibrates you will want to use spring washers on the nut side or a nylock nut to prevent it from rattling itself loose
Or you could put the control box wherever and just make each line exactly the same length 🤷🏻♀️
John Lichtenstein exactly
Perfect timing for once. Dinner was finished 2 minutes ago.
If looking for some suspension upgrades for a 1965/66 Galaxie 500 you should go view Jay Leno's garages video on the build up of his 66 Galaxie 500 7 liter! Also i tried to look at prior videos but i hope you have converted the Master Cylinder from a single pot system to a dual pot Master Cylinder! Even better would be to haul this heavy beast to a stop would be upgrading to at the minnimum of front disc brakes! Ideally would be up grading to 4 wheel disc brakes. Even hooking up an additional set of calipers on the rear with Hydro hand brake.
Massive body roll incoming. Wothouth split valves/regulators the air will roll side to side filling the bag with less resistance and promote body roll. If you isolate the bags it will maintain pressure equally and reduce roll. This will of course with a simple set up require split gauges for each corner and independent switches. Good luck. Did this on a suped up Chevy s10.
Instead of "James, get the toolbox", airbagging is now "Cleetus, get that dang toobox"
(Carlove from 🇦🇺Australia🇦🇺)
If it feels slow you can use the compressed air as “nitrous”
Y'all finally have something I'm excited for. I was never a diesel guy, but I am digging the DEW out of this car!!!!
Galaxie needs some curb feelers on all 4 corners with titanium tips for sparks when you lie low :D
Go ahead and order some titanium. you know its gonna happen
“Hitting switches in the galaxy” sounds so right 😂
James is the man, he makes this channel, you better give him a big big raise or a part the channel.
You can get longer bags for more travel.
And use one of the ports on your tank for an aux fill. Just in case your compressors crap out
YOOOOO PLZ READ
You should crush cans with the frame rails. On the galaxy
Yes at least one Mountain Dew needs to be sacrificed to the frame, how else to welcome the Galaxy to the shop and air ride life
I know I was right about that rear right wheel shaking in dyno 😂😂🤦🏿♂️
You and about 10 thousand others.
Lol the centers were cut out on a plasma table and welded into some rims. I don't think they supposed to be a permanent solution. We called them the pizza wheels because of the simple design.
Rob Tavares 😂😂
I have the same setup in my truck. You can download the app and raise and lift it out of the car. You can also take the little purge valve out of the box that says airlift that the airline runs into I think.
wasnt too short of a vid, it was a great vid i love watching this type of thing!
Looks good.. now you guys NEED new wheels! Those damn 100lbs per wheel are robin HP !!
Diesels are all about torque. Who cares about HP?
@@halofreak1990 when i say robbing HP... of course that includes TQ... it surely doesn't help the tq...🙄
Jay Leno already design a whole new front end for these cars get ahold of him
All kinds of gains for the Galaxie! Watching all the vids way up in New Hampshire!!
Now ad a set of proportional valves to the rear bags so you can pre-load one side to keep it from twisting when you finally launch it at the strip!
Couldn't you just cut your longest line and make them all that length?
Corneliu Codreanu Yeah but then you got extra line all over.
Also boys a 90 degree fitting simulates 7 feet of air line fyi
Yep. I had a 12 valve 3/4" line Nissan hard body that would hop and lay body. Those were some good times. Titanium spark plates and all. Scraping off road reflectors. Lol
Love the video. Hell yeah!! Bagging made easy, lol. Not like my laying frame, step notched, triangulated 4 link, SMC 1/2” valved, 10 switch minitruck. The Galaxie would fit right in at Slamology show in Indianapolis this weekend.
Second Skin Damplifier will help quieting it down. Also now I want to bag my Galaxie. Good job!
Seeing "views=0" on a cleetus vid just feels weird
Grady Farrer same! Haha
For real!
But it’s normal for the dislikes to equal 0
So far 111 people are jeff gordon fans
That’s when u know your doin damn good 1.2k likes and only 9 dislikes I’m sure by jus haters with them 9 lmao hell yaaaaa brother !!!!!! Keep up the Mercia bald eagles 🦅 goin
FatGuyTV the dislikes are cuz its another video with the bogger not making it across the pond let alone making the video.. 😑
Steven Polychronopolis that’s not how likes and dislikes work man !! The likes and dislikes are for the video your watching only .. not any other one of the videos they have put out
Bag on axle isn't usually a good idea if you want it to lay frame and handle nice. You need to do bag on bar with at least a 2 link. Or build a mount off the axle to lower the bag mount and position it in front of or behind the axle.
Hell yeah brother! Can't wait to see it all the way aired out! Shout out to Ole James for being a Air ride technician
I pulled over on the side of the road to watch this
why did the compressors keep turning on after it was aired out?
Whenever the system has power and pressure is more than 10% below the max setting (150psi is setting it comes with) the compressors will turn on. But it also has a low voltage cutoff, so when it detects the battery voltage dropping it cuts them off. When battery volts stabilize they turn back on. Only happens since car isnt running, usually they fill the tank then turn off until it drops below threshold again.
Just saw a Bartel Skeet comm. with THE “Cletus” bald eagle making that sweet sound flying across the screen .
Would love to see more of that ZL1 in the background. You should do some stuff on the cars you guys coming in and out of the shop. Keep up the amazing work!
John Peterson The cars that come in and out are part of Jeremy and his tuning business, they share a shop.
Hell yeah brother !! The ghetto sled is coming along...
After Air-ride install and crazy mode. Just saying brother Big Train Horn Time. Merica 🤘
Horn blasters 👍
Put some rubber grommets on the air pumps. It will make it so much quieter. Great job as always guys. Shout out from Fort Myers, FL.
Not only will adding rubber grommetts quiet the compressors down. It will also extend their life span due to less vibration. One should always use them when mounting electriacal motors, CD ignition boxes.
Make the Galaxie your new daily! Full Mountain dew themed interior! Green leather and yellow stitching!
You still need a hemi in the garage. I'll give you the Cummins but where's the dodge with a dodge motor in mcfarand fab.
Rusting in the lot with a few broken valve springs
Wow. Smash on coopers supra before bald eagles.
The cops probably think you guys are ridin' dirty now lol...Officer: "Anything suspicious in this vehicle I should know about?" Cleetus: "Uh yeah Officer I got a Cummins under the hood." Officer: "Get outta the car!"
🤘Takes me back to being a teenager. Me & my friends cutting up our trucks crushing cans with are back bumpers. A Baja blast not fitting underneath the body is good enough for me👍 can't wait to see it laid out on all 4's. 🦅🇺🇸
Looks awesome I love the diesel build . Put some rubber strips or blocks under those pumps to quiet it down a little. Looking forward to this build and seeing it lol 👍🏼
07:30
is that a light wedged up in the quarter panel behind Cleetus's head?
Stance and rolling coal. All in one package.
This should be Cletus first street show car. Body work n paint. Clean the motor n engine bay. the car has Potential
KILLER DOWEL PIN!! Make sure it’s fixed in the timings gears
Can also mount the controller in the trunk but make sure the lines are all equal length and won’t have the front/rear lift issue at different times
This car would be fun to use for spectator drags on a oval, with that air suspension you can set a counter lean in the corners :) Seems like a great event for you guys to change things up.
You should use the same exact length of lines to each airbag from the manifold, no matter where you mount the manifold. You can coil up any excess.
Put some foam or brick of padding under the pumps and bolt it down THROUGH the material. That'll help quiet it down a decent amount. The bare metal shell that it's bolted to is just sending vibrations throughout the car and amplifying the noise. Can't look as cool when it turns on and sounds like someones deepfreezer from the 50's just turned on in the basement.
