What should we build a drive shaft out of next? My mullet?
Mountain Dew cans!
Hallowed by the mullet
Mullet 😂. Wonder how conduit would fare 🤔
Small fans on car charging batteries ??
3D print one!
4” pvc pipe filled with cement
Might work but 4 in is way to big 3 in but cement would brake the car may expandable foam
Sced 40
Harder wood with hose clamps/zipties
@@Silvia388S no they should do it in cpvc schedule 80 that should hold up nicely
@@nyvinchenz9430 no dude, schedule 80 is thinwall need to try that super thin septic pipe
Would have been EPIC if you would have pulled into a shop and just said “it’s got a little vibration” then the reaction would have been AMAZING lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Great content idea
That would be funny.
@ Cleetus please do this 😂
That would be awesome...do it lol
Rewatching old cleet vids to get a fix 😂
Try different type wood like oak and a good lathe.
plywood cut in circles and stacked
yea i'd say find a wood channel to custom make this driveshaft so that it's completely ballanced and make it out of quality wood, there's gotta be a grain thing that can improve the strength.
Truthfully using pine or cedar on this wasn’t smart...bet you a good cherry or hardwood spun on a lathe would have been stronger. Also maybe treated/stained.
Hickory is my recommendation
Yes hickory would be about the best if you can find it also have it done on a path by a wood turning channel would be a great idea never seen a calab between car channel and a wood channel think of the cross ratings.
*You Drive it to ford... With Hidden Cameras...*
Say it broke down on side of the road out of town.. Small Shop Fixed it...
But now Car is shaking a lot...
Yes
Omg lol
Hell yes!!!
LMFAO! YES!
that would be fucking hilarious
Rob: Here are the most expensive carbon fiber driveshafts and axles for the awd 4 rotor.
Cleetus: Hold my wooden driveshaft.
Rob: closes eyes in panic when he launches in a drag race
Cleetus: Eyes on the prize
well that 4 rotor has a lot of sponsors i give Cleetus a lot of credit with his builds and if he was into the car builder scene I'm sure the guys couldn't make something real cool
This episode sponsored by Garage 54.
Ayyyyy
Voice over and translation by b.m.i cleetus 😂
"We did NAIL IT, that's how its supPOST to be"
Viktor Samuylik nah man, its SCREWed
Lol what’s up Sam
Nah
Imagine buying an auction car and finding something like this.
Frig off
@Dion Diova ahh hahaha
@Dion Diova it's so perfect
Trailer park boys ftw
Don't listen to them, Randy.
Rob Dahm: full carbon fiber drivetrain
Cleetus: hold my Mountain Dew
picklesthegreatest it is with that attitude
@@picklesthegreatest there's a difference between drivetrain and powertrain
@@picklesthegreatest you're kidding right? The engine and trans are the powertrain. The drivetrain is the axles, diff, and the driveshaft.
Carbon driveshafts actually exist...
It's funny James is still as completely serious and thoughtful as when he's getting Leroy ready for their races.
"You got a bit of brake cleaner to put it out"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hell yeah brother👌
Use a grinder to round it down while it’s in gear, then add hose clamps every 6” to keep it from splitting.
and maybe stagger the fasteners on the hose clamps for expert balancing
Gettin somewhere now. Idk about trying to turn the car into a lathe but maybe another shop could help them get one as round and straight as possible.
Truing it up with a grinder would make it run much smoother but wood is pretty weak when it comes to torque transfer along the grain, it's going to disintegrate no matter how many hose clamps you put on it. Pine power is no match for pony power.
Way too much thinking 👍 lol
I reckon they need to try it again as U said now they have their own track for shit to go wrong 🤙🤙
Should of taken it to a local shop for an oil change and film their reaction LOL!
Take it to Walmart for an oil change. lol
This!!!
@@gcomfx lol walmart probably wouldnt even notice.
Ryan Bitter yes!!!!!! Lol
Should have*
I actually like the look of this car, would make a cool streeter with a decent power-train setup.
14:33 if you have other things to do today
Thanks
Thanks
@Andrey Angere thanks
@Andrey Angere thank you kind sir
Words Home Depot and straight wood have never gone together in history
Lumber at Home Depot is like men who work in theatre. None of the good ones are straight.
Homo Depot
@@jaregg - sure is when you're there. Heard you pick em up by the truckload. Every Tuesday night.
That is a pretty warped perception, Joseph! ;-)
Truthh
Cleetus “Guys, we’re going to get serious with Leroy and get him deep into the 7s. The plan is ..... wait, is that a chunk of wood?”
Mount a flag rocket to the front crashbar and shoot it 4 seconds into the run to to trip the beam
@@guganotubo you need to put this under cleets comment lol
You do realize this is a pre-filmed episode used to fill a content gap right?
Need to make more money, speed=money
You're the kind of viewer everyone wishes would just go away.
And here’s me thinking you were going to turn it down on a lathe...
pressure treated wood is weaker and just cause glue says it works on metal doesn't mean well
they should lathe a stronger wood with 2 part epoxy for glue
@@ihatecrackhead With the special additive for metal bonding available from West Systems Epoxy
For sure. Thos could actually work if you took the time to engineer it properly.
A lathe? What, you think they’re made of money? 😜🤣
@@Nevir202 they could've turned it first thing after installing it =D
Very underrated for the “scientific” projects you do :)
Imagine buying a bargain stang you hear the driveshaft break after driving it for a few days on the highway and see a piece of wood dangling from under your car LOL.
Lol id probably just laugh
Imagine buying a car without lookin underneath it😂
I'd laugh so dam hard just thinking how high the previous owner was when he made that.
The open flame next to James had me sweatin. Classic.
Lol me too
Him leaning over and waving his arms right in front of it
They have brake cleaner, no danger at all 😂
"Yeah, I'm sure they get could a deal", aaahahaha. Love you guys! Maybe my favorite channel.
Doc spray em all 😂😂😂😂got me dead
What we learned: Gorilla glue is rated for at least 140hp
The Weapon Collection that’s what he is saying. Since the glue worked it is rated for AT LEAST 140 hp
@Real Donald Trump I don't doubt it but it doesn't make it any less impressive that store bought glue can still handle a significant load.
ya goAt
@Real Donald Trump true
@@ZZ-os4nb also true
You should of gotten a hardwood like hickory and then used a lathe to turn it to the exact diameter of the inside of the shaft. And attach with pins.
Forget the pins altogether... We don't NEED no steenking 'slipper clutch'... We built it into the driveshaft!
Ironbark gum mate but you guys probably don't import it to america then again I don't know. I thought exactly the same thing as you.
Had a great idea go to farm supply store and buy a fence post or 2
What a bunch of goobers! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
I so don’t miss the old shop! So crazy how far cleeter has come in the last 4 years!
"Did about as well as the V1 stock driveshaft..." Cooper killed me with that, still laughing. :'-)
You should use a much harder wood. And you should have it machined on a lathe the so it is perfectly balanced
Cypress would be a good thing to try.
I was going to comment this but you beat me to it
@@cajunspike ash or hickory (baseball bat wood)
Ipe also known as iron wood
Even on harder woods it would not work. Wood has poor torque resistance, where it really excels at is withstanding compression.
Awesome, great for weight reduction. Good work guys!
Here in 2024❤ Cletus looks so different
Somewhere in a 3rd world country someone has absolutely done this.
Rock crawlers often run square tube driveshafts
Do it in Guyana. Make them out of greenheart
Definitely!! Forsure
Soon America will be a 3rd world country
Cuba
Why don’t you stick the car in gear an use it as a lathe to “finish” the driveshaft 😂
What Mr Rpalm said...it would least get a few more RPMs out of it...
They should make the driveshaft out of same material cut end open slide the wood in the driveshaft fill the entire driveshaft with wood weld it shut and take it for a drive
Wasnt that an episode of macgyver haha
@@kevinhibbard320 I think so
They could use the flap disc and the grinder and make it happen forsure
THIS IS CONTENT BABY
You guys are freaking hilarious.
you should have tried a more stronger wood ive heard that morning wood is one of the hardest woods available still dont know if it would survive a clutch drop?..
Yeah you might need Adam LZ to help with that
Just tested. It didn't survive a clutch drop. Wait, you said MORNING wood! I'll get back to ya in 10 hours.
Real talk Ipe might work
Mine would😊
Ya u do 😆
I can guarantee you that this is the fastest "Stick" shift Mustang in existence!
These science videos are a pretty decent competition for the Beyond the Press channel :)
Just watched the diesel as oil science episode. Had to come back to the first video I watched from the trending page. Hell yeah brother. Been watching for 3 years now
Hoonigan: Hey we made wooden wheels!!!
Cleeter: Hold my bardle Skeet!!!
“Whatever dude, this is just science.” T shirt time
try wood driveshaft but find someone with a lathe to get rid of as much run out and then you may have more success
I'd love to see a episode using large rocks as wheels and tires
always wanted a wheel that's unimaginably heavy and very poorly balanced
@@bradleymorgan8223 Yeah me to..... Oh wait a minute, they have the Galaxy wheels. Fucking heavy pieces of shit!! Haha!!
The grain of the wood matters!
The first piece you showed that had concentric rings would probably hold up better!
Imagine twisting a whole onion, then imagine twisting an onion sliced in half. Which one is harder to break?
Yeah, I think galvanized banding in a torque tightening spiral over the wood would take a few more hp
"Ogers are like onions..." Wait, wrong movie.
@@guganotubo I like the idea of banding it. Maybe soak it in a gel clear stain and let it harden first then band it and duct tape it!
Just commenting so this thread gets more attention. Thats right Algorithm I know what you're doing
Actually you're wrong. Core wood is often checked and full of cracks and imperfections. You want a good section of straight grain with no core and no knots.
Now, a piece of straight grain hard wood, turn it round in a lathe. Proper industrial epoxy with some holes for the epoxy. Will work and let you drive the car, burnout near certainly not.
Turn the wood using the drivetrain
Do a wood post then get it sprayed with line-x
“Wooooow, too sketchy guys” as he walks closer and gets a close up shot 😂💀
really you used one of the softest woods. try oak. that was damn funny.
Or hickory
Black walnut would be a cheap alternative.
We need everyone to like this so he can see it
Ironwood.
Leave it to the boys down south to be real clever
Get a PVC PIPE and fill it with different stuff and RIP it and when it breaks it's like a Piñata
Ruan Venter pvc pipe with concrete inside with steel reo 🤔
@@saulprokopavicius3628 too heavy at that point
@@Hbzprojects fuck, it doesnt matter if its heavy, it just needs to work, point a to b end world type shit... this is fascinating
Concrete will not handle that type of load very well at all. It has absolutely zero tensile strength
Spray foam... But I'd just use wood but soak it in water for a day and dry it out, make it round and smooth and balanced and it'd last a while...edit, I would jam it into the ends with no glue and a little loose then add water, let it expand, dry, and then instead of glue I would make some mounts or a bracket or something else for support and connect it better, glue was stupid because this thing has no balance... Without balance it's not gonna last at all... I'd also research wood types and try to find something that has some flex to it maybe not hardwood but idk.
You guys are crazy fun
Put the wood drive shaft and take it to carmax for a check up it well be epic
"You guys remember that list of priorities we came up with? Well, we just chucked it like we did this wooden drive shaft." 😁
Forget wood, PVC pipe is the way to go.
What could they fill it with? Flex seal?
@@monkeybuttdevinlane Expanding foam!
JustiBoy filled with jb weld
@@monkeybuttdevinlane Cement lol
maybe pvc pipes fitted into each other and glued togheter so its a mix of glue and pvc and make it full
Winter is coming, time to chop the wood :)
OMG this was 4 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday.
You guys are now certified “CAR”penters. Adept in working on vehicles AND wood.
Why did i scroll way too long to find this? lol
I rolled my eyes so hard that it made me sea sick. 👍
@@tylert69goat you turned my laugh into a wheeze
LOL,, perfect! Soo,, can we conclude when asked if a 4x4 and Gorilla Glue can suffice as a temporary drive line,, "And there you have it,,"
To make it true center it’s should have been put on a wood turning lathe.
Just do it on the car. Its like i lathe. Cut the wood into a triangle
You don't say!
Wow! You're smart! 😂
Or maybe they should have used like a steel tube for the driveshaft? Hmm, I think i'm onto something...
Wow this guy is so smart. I never knew a lathe could be used to do that sort of thing.
This made Me laugh 😂
Go for distance on the next homemade wood driveshaft. Avoid the harsh take offs (and burnouts) and shifting. I’d bet you could get pretty far keeping the speeds lower. Awesome experiment. Great video.
3" wood core (could start with a 4x4 and toss it on a lathe) with a good healthy fiberglass wrap thick enough to bring it up to 4"
Most of the load would be on the outside diameter, a styrofoam core glass fiber shaft would basically be the same, but lighter.
Ash or hickory. Both should be plentiful in Florida and both should have good characteristics for the application. There is a reason most quality tools are handled with hickory and ash. Osage orange should be plentiful there too and I hear it is a good bow material. The springiness and strength might help make it a good driveshaft material.
“That’s how it’s su-POST to be” James with the pun game
I actually didn't even pick up on that!
"Cut twice, measure once"😂 @ 6:18
needs to be laminated boards, with the grains crossed.
RCPro Driver agree. Much stronger if you laminate wood.
I was think the same thing. It would probably take a burn out.
Cement with rebar inside. You could easily make a cylindrical mold from a 3-4" PVC pipe or something.
You cold also just do a PVC pipe filled with cement.
Way to heavy lol
All that weight will snap the ujoints
“Cut 2wice measure 1nce” Cleeter McSkeeter
CUT! I SAID CUUUUUUT!
Cleetus, that's nice and straight, Dr Sprayemall " that's a nice peace of wood there".
This video is 🔥
It would have been funny to take it to a drive shaft shop to get balanced.
That's all I could think during the entire video. Just like;
"Hey, I just bought this car and it's got a little bit of vibration. Can you check it out?" 😆
"Churched up" is now my go to phrase 😂
Lowrider Bug joe dirt
When I saw the grain on the end of the post I knew it would fail. Use a post made from the center of the tree. Use a hardwood like oak. Turn it on a wood lathe. Or maybe use a metal post from the Freedom Factory chain link fence that needs to be replaced.
THAT'S SOME NICE WOOD RIGHT THERE
James: we are officially wood wigglers!

Thats actually pretty straight lumber for home depot standards! lol
Use 8 or 9 dowels epoxied in. Like cable, one dowel surrounded by the rest.
This is a damn good idea.
Great idea
Excellent idea
I think their next drive line should be made out of nachos
Rachet Extension drive shaft, get a 36" extension , weld 1/2 drive adapter to a plate to driveshaft end, weld a socket to a plate on otherend.
1" drive 36" extension
comedy haha you should keep trying!! stronger wood better measurements?!
I have the same exact car they used, A 1995 although mine is cherry red and the interior is completely custom and miss matched looks really nice. The best car I’ve ever driven to date probably always will be personally
I’m really digging that color on the Mustang.
Me too the body and color look pretty nice
Is that a 98?
Ford offers that color on their aluminum f150s
@@MarkCantu-jj1yu it has the 94-96 tailights so it might be a 96 since it has the 4.6 v8 and not the 94-95's 5.0 v8.

Everyone: “...”

Guys who actually go 7 seconds: “We’re building a driveshaft out of wood!”
🍻🐈🔥
This year it was actually called SUPRA
@@ArKritz84 and go kart and power wheel build off...
Seriously though, most car shows are mainly an industry circle-jerk. SEMA have just taken it a step further by being closed to the general public.
And strangely the wooden driveshaft is better fabbed than a LOT of the stuff at SEMA.
Cleetus: we ran 7s and won stickshift at world cup
Also Cleetus: Wooden driveshaft!
That lil stick was sure shifting.... ergo StickShift
I wouldn't have it any other way

HELL YEAH BROTHER!! BALD EAGLES FOREVER!!
Hell yeah brothers that was a great idea! I think if you took multiple pieces of plywood and glued them together to make a 4x4 it would be WAY stronger due to the alternating grain of the plywood. It might even handle a burnout. Maybe even wrap it in flex tape for extra stiffness. Bog deep and let 'er eat!
Cleetus: Cuts drive shaft with a whoopdido ‘’Whatever dude it’ll work this is just science” lmao I found this so hilarious.
