I really enjoyed this video series with the Vett !! I did similar back in the day with a 77'......all red.......paid 2200 for it and slightly swamped by Daytona Beach........pulled engine and trans.......rebuilt both but mostly just needed cleaned out...........drove her to pick up a stunning beauty I met on spring break, from New Paris , Ohio.......finally sold her for 10k...!!! Really wish I kept both the Lady and the car........both were wonderful !!!!
Can confirm all of these costs as real. Literally just did a very similar thing with a c4. Always better to just buy a sorted car, albeit with none of the fixing fun.
@10:45 wonder if you could use one of the cheap capacitive touch pens you can use with smart phones that dont have pen input (they have a metal body and conductive foam tip that emulates your finger touching something).
Cool build. I learned a lot watching this. About half the time I realize I could do what you're doing and the other half (like this build) I realize I am nowhere close to being able to do that. :)
Great great video, you should do more breakdown cost on these repairs, rebuilds, flips or turns on your cars. It shows us that it can cost more than we think we can actually afford
If course but honestly for someone to take on such a build you must have some kind of free resources.. I wouldn’t be spending money on a welder for 4 hours but he knew he had his brother so yup as long as you know you hav es one help the cost goes down
That is a pretty sweet daily for 10 grand that you can have fun driving and not be afraid to put some miles on. Park it anywhere and eat in it. It will still be worth what you have in it in year or two. Nice work. Keep us updated once the tune is tweaked.
Nice job on the Vette. For these cost videos. To me at least, what I'd like to see is almost a spreadsheet: Actual, Freebie vs if-I-had-to-buy, and Optional. I think that would be more exciting to see: "wow, it should've cost 25,000, without our optionals it would still have been 18,000, but with our wheelin'-dealin' and freebies it was 8,000 isn't that cool....."
The rear fender would be cheaper/easier to replace. Takes 45min to swap. I found a used rear fender in the correct color on evil-bay for about $150 shipped.
6 qts of oil, 1 qt of multi ATF for P/S and trans, 2 gallons of coolant, and a partial bottle of RBF660. Right at $100-110, I didn’t completely drain anything except coolant 🍻
I love cars but I am a DJ, I can't help notice the full lighting and speaker rig above behind you. Is this a mechanic shop or an underground club? lol can't wait to see the final build.
But how many shop hours is in the build? Some of us are not mechanics and need to know this amount to see if really feasible for the average shade tree mechanic. Thx. JG
As a teacher and faithful follower, can I make a suggestion on your educational technology? Haha…. iPad + Pencil + Note App+ Apple TV/AirPlay into your big screen. #gamechanger #lovetheC5
What does an average C5 go for in decent shape? Here in Canada, west coast, I rarely see them below $20k CDN (15.5-16k USD). I had silly hopes of picking up a C5 for low-mid teens some day
Well, I'm definitely interested in purchasing this cool C5. What was the HP & Torque numbers? Is she auto or manual? This was an awesome series to watch. Thanks JR!!
Problably, changing the background of the board to black and the writing tool to white would help seeing whatever you are writing. Thanks for the video. 👍
For everyone who says it's not 3500 any more ,,,, yup get used to it he says the original price on every vehicle for every video and dose a price reveal at the end ....
So much for the myth of the "Corvette tax" on parts. I was thinking if this were something like a BMW/AMG Benz/Audi your parts prices would've been double or triple.
JR - Okay, about $10,000 so far, but that's just parts. If I bought a $3,500 Vette, though, I'd have to hire people who know what they're doing and have the tools and a place to work on the car. If you add the labor which went into this thing, it would be at least double the amount. Interesting to watch, but the numbers wouldn't work for me.
He didn’t put wheel costs, didn’t put his brothers fab, etc. He wasn’t saying this is what it would cost to do, he was saying what this particular project has costs him out of pocket.
Its a bullshit build cost.. You need to cost in. All his labour cost insurance and running the building costs. I laugh every time he self serves at oriellys...product placement equalls cheaper parts
@@rayseal1099 That would mean he had to account for things down to how much the fuel his parts runs costs him, or how much these videos may have made relative to other content he would have put out instead, so no, he is at the right level of granularity.
I was with the previous owner of this car at a game last evening. He's glad to know it was brought back to life and for another person to enjoy.
Lol preciate the shout out…I could’ve done it a lot faster but I was just bored lol
What’s the sale price?😂😂
Tavarish is calling you.

Super stoked to see you turn those wheels. Not much documentation online of the process to do that - at least not in a hacky half-assed way.
Can confirm all of these costs as real. Literally just did a very similar thing with a c4. Always better to just buy a sorted car, albeit with none of the fixing fun.
It’s still a good deal because you could buy one for the 13k and it could end up needing half that same work. I like the white and red combo , a lot.
Good deal, especially a car upgraded to your personal specifications. I am looking forward to seeing the other vettes. Thanks for the updates.
Totally worth it. I’ve loved following along on this one.

He is the fastest mechanic around.
This Vette is racking up the views for JR. What a great series.
Great great video, you should do more breakdown cost on these repairs, rebuilds, flips or turns on your cars. It shows us that it can cost more than we think we can actually afford
Great video from JR.
If you counted all the free labor, you would be far under-water. But that not the point because you made several great videos out of it. Well done!

Such a great job man, enjoyed watching. Keep ‘em rolling.
Thanks for the break down JR. I was guessing $7000, glad to see I was right.
You need to buy your brother some beers to say thank you for his hard work 🧐
Loved watching The build and can’t wait to see the next Corvette build if you do one…Good Work…
You check the fuel filter condition of the pump and fuel filter? Wonder if it's got pressure drop at WOT from a weak pump or clogged filter
Nice job on the Vette. For these cost videos. To me at least, what I'd like to see is almost a spreadsheet: Actual, Freebie vs if-I-had-to-buy, and Optional.

Great job on the vet ,it looks and sounds great
looking forward to the detail on this! I like this type of Project
The rear fender would be cheaper/easier to replace. Takes 45min to swap. I found a used rear fender in the correct color on evil-bay for about $150 shipped.
Try using a silicone tipped stylus on the screen. They work really well.
Good addition to the vette fleet
What about the oversized injectors and the lack of power? Isnt this thing not really done yet?
Great build and doing it right JR!
Enjoyed the build
Taking apart a Rally Fighter would be SSSSSSOOOOOOO AWESOME LOL
Great deal, Like the white color on a vette, Like Video
There's satisfaction that you did this all (or mostly) yourself. As the old saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself.
Jorts, white Polo, Corvette hat! LOL, yes!
This is a great deal!! Great build!!
Where are you picking up fluids and tires? I can't replace all fluids on a 4 banger for $100.
6 qts of oil, 1 qt of multi ATF for P/S and trans, 2 gallons of coolant, and a partial bottle of RBF660. Right at $100-110, I didn’t completely drain anything except coolant 🍻
I wish you would include all labor at the average shop charges. That’s representative of the real cost.
$100 an hour straight up,probably a minimum 20 hours labour to do what was done....im sure im underestimating
That thing has a nice sound with the new exhaust.
I love cars but I am a DJ, I can't help notice the full lighting and speaker rig above behind you. Is this a mechanic shop or an underground club? lol can't wait to see the final build.
JR, as you know, this is a Corvette and it can be as mid or wild as you want to take it to. I would just fix the paint at the gas cap and enjoy it.
One of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition: "Exploitation begins at home." (RE: Gabe's labor lol)
more Corvette, yeah! damn the budget!

Still a steal of a price in my opinion.
One of the few times it's ok to come early
I'm all about me. I'm a busy man. She has to understand lol
What's the plan with the performance issues you mentioned in the test drive? Dyno tune?
What does an average C5 go for in decent shape? Here in Canada, west coast, I rarely see them below $20k CDN (15.5-16k USD). I had silly hopes of picking up a C5 for low-mid teens some day
Hard to answer. I've been looking and it really depends on mileage first, and options second. You're in the same ballpark though between 15k and 30k.
Pretty sure they make a calc app for that whiteboard, or maybe just go to a Chrome spreadsheet that’ll add up the numbers for you. Jussayin’.
Doesn't your Interactive Whiteboard have character recognition to snap what you draw into standard text? I thought it was a standard.
It’s OneNote in drawing mode 🍻
To write on that 'whiteboard' all you need is a touchscreen stylus. They are like 5 bucks all day on eBay.
It needs a red stripe over the side from front to back! Makes you face from the A-team!
You may have answered this before but what was the screen thing you was writing on?
Well, I'm definitely interested in purchasing this cool C5.
What was the HP & Torque numbers? Is she auto or manual? This was an awesome series to watch. Thanks JR!!
(It's an automatic transmission.)
Is the ebcm bad? A lot of corvette guys would like to see you address that one
Nice work on the car, white board was a failure however!!!!!
JR, want to help me do a front hub seal/ bearings replace on a 93 Landcruiser?
That is a great deal and good video. What are your thoughts on the best cold air intake for the C5? Just curious, trying to make a decision for mine.
I was guessing 10k, was not too far off. Now, keep it and enjoy it.
Problably, changing the background of the board to black and the writing tool to white would help seeing whatever you are writing. Thanks for the video. 👍
ah, as Matt of Schrodingers Box calls it "The whiteboard of knowledge" lol
Great investment on the C5. Now if I could find a cheap C5 or C6. 🤣
how much to register with the dmv and to insure?
Nice job. Where are you going to put your car for sale?
As a Submariner I felt let down. ;) and my OCD kept me from looking at your whiteboard. But you made out pretty good math wise and looks nice.
Sounds really good.
what are the sheet metal screws where the quarter panel and door meet
Rear fenders are removable. A dozen screws and it comes off. Easier to replace than repair.
@WatchJRGo
Where are you sending your new C8 wheels go get shaved/milled?!
When are you going to get a Land Cruiser?
@UCDGJABAZFrhi0faqgYtIzbA how much did you get it for?
fun build interesting how you did it.
Remember when I said "How many thousands in might as wells?
4k-ish. Not too bad. 😂🤣
Can you using a computer use excel and type the costs on the screen?
Snag a Porsche up and do some refurb on it.. I really enjoy your videos 1! HooAh !!
I enjoyed the rebuild,,,,Very entertaining,,,,
For everyone who says it's not 3500 any more ,,,, yup get used to it he says the original price on every vehicle for every video and dose a price reveal at the end ....
Where are You going to Get 4 tires for the Corvette for only $600?
Falken, sumitomo… whatever is cheap and new is better than what’s on it 🍻
It's gonna make "LOUD NOISES" when it's done. Nice.
Anyone feel some nostalgia seeing the screen come out, like movie day in elementary school.
I'm still having trouble ordering merch.
So much for the myth of the "Corvette tax" on parts. I was thinking if this were something like a BMW/AMG Benz/Audi your parts prices would've been double or triple.
You probably made it more reliable than factory
uhhhhh,no
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 Corvette just been named in the top10 most unreliable cars on the market 😂
You can't put a price tag on all the hours you put into it but on the other hand your getting video footage and that is how it pays.
If I about $14K I would buy that beast!! But one problem I Don't like that color white!! 😅
not knowing the cam is kinda shitty for tuning. but im sure it can be done :)
If ever plan on selling it I feel like you could sell it on cars and bids probably get a cool video out of the process.
I need the wheels you're taking off !?!?
I’ll sell them, probably $400. 🍻
@@WatchJRGo that's a good deal. I'll get back with ya.
10k for a car of that calibre is nothing nowadays, well done
Check out 11 foot 8.
I just watched the vid with your mom. It was nice, it gave a lot of credibilty to your channel
be nice to see u do a real cheap fix 9. a daily driver... ie Honda, Chevy caviler
How many hours of labor? If you did this for profit, How much would labor cost?
Considering what it's worth you still did more than fine and you can sell it for a profit when you're done with it.
For that price, Id just buy one used with a clear title. Love your work though.
I'm assuming the title on this one is clear.
a used c5 isnt 8 grand with the current build level...more like $15,000-$25,000
You forgot the zo6 shocks
C8 rims? 18 back 17 front stock
Needs to have the windows tinted!
OneNote will do math automatically - you should experiment with that.
Very cool car.
$600 in tires JR? You getting some Uniroyals on there from the Dollar Genital?
I would still be thrilled if all in to make this car right cost 15K.
JR - Okay, about $10,000 so far, but that's just parts. If I bought a $3,500 Vette, though, I'd have to hire people who know what they're doing and have the tools and a place to work on the car.
