I think you should call the camaro FREEDOM FLYER AND THE PAINT SCHEME LIKE THE Radio Flyer WAGON
George had me in tears 😂
"I didn't want to look up her skirt, but lord have mercy!"
Dude that was fucking nuts. "The things I wouldn't do..." 😂😂
@@geoffrey6000 left that list at home
had me laughing so hard! the tone was on point
Respect always to the ladies of course
@@ngrin3209Spot on mate! Respect to the ladies. That was comical genius Squirrel!!!
We all felt the naughty excitement when he had a peep.
Can anyone point me in the direction of how George joined and his first videos please?
"I didn't want to look under her dress, but good lord have mercy. The things I wouldn't do..."
George is on a whole other level 😂🤣
Pure gold😂
He stole Tye from there didnt he?
So he will know just how good their work is from him, or not if it had been crap, but Cleetus will look who has built the big cars that are winning as well, He mentioned someone in a previous video who had their car built by them,
There must be dozens of companies reach out to be part of what Cleetus does, just because he seems a nice guy to be associated with,
Im guessing the Helicopter people dont just let anyone in to film, they will have looked at what he does and how he goes about things, and saw it would be a good look for them.
He's so funny, but what the hell does ' oh my lanta' mean ??

For those who didn't before.....your appreciation for Ty should go way up! You never hear that guy complain and he works as hard as anyone! There is more to welding than just pressing a handle on a gun! We all know Cleet appreciates all his guys! Love this team!
He isn't a welder, he is a fabricator. Welding is just part of it.
AAAND he is at the shop working 22hrs of every day !
@@bdubyah89yep welding is 90 percent prep and fit up,espc on TIG fabrication, industrial pipe welding less, MIG well that is fire and forget, spray it thick
💯 Magic Man
Squirrel: So where do you sit?
Cleet: In the frunk..
Squirrel: What's a FrunK?
Cleet: It's somewhere between the front and the trunk...
Been a follower for about 5 years now, loved every single video. About a month ago I had a seizure behind the wheel of my truck, rear ended somebody, and wrecked my ram 2500. License is currently on hold for 6 months, and has been extremely difficult on myself and my wife finically who I’ve been married to for only 2 months now, being that my job is majority driving. But tell you what, these videos have been such a blessing, giving me a small distraction each day, giving me something to look forward to each day as we get through this. Thank you Cleet for stickin with the videos and giving us the content, and giving us something positive each day to look forward to. Hell yeah brother!
Your account was created a few weeks ago. Stfu. 😂
@@OhNo4Sho I did get a new phone 4 months ago but that don’t got nothin to do with how long I’ve been watching lol, tried to send a positive comment and you gotta hate, tf Is wrong with you
Keep moving forward brother. Tough times don't last, but tough men do.
Quick and complete healing...🙏❤️🔥🙏🕊️🙏 in Christ Jesus
Godspeed in your recovery my man. I completely understand where you're coming from. I was diagnosed with ALL leukemia on May 5, 2020 and would spend nearly 100 days in the hospital in the months that followed, all without a single visitor due to COVID restrictions. I was 39 with a 4 year old girl to raise. It was physically, emotionally, and financially devastating for my family and I. As corny as it sounds, the videos these goons made gave me something to look forward to every couple days in a time when there weren't a lot of positive things happening in between chemotherapy infusions. It's been a little over 4 years now, and I'm in full remission. Still undergoing treatment, but that's better than the alternative I suppose. Anyway, hold your head up, and may God bless you and yours.
The thing I love about CJRC is that every question Cleet had, they had an answer. Like they knew all the concerns, because they've been doing this for so long. Super transparent, excited to see more progress!
ATTENTION IN THE COMMENTS!
Just to be clear!
There will be a LOT of Titanium peppered around this car, lower control arms, 4-link bars, chute mount, steering column, wishbone and on and on.
THE CHASSIS itself IS MADE OUT OF 4130 CHROME MOLY TUBING!!!
It's built to SFI specifications, titanium WILL NOT PASS TECH or meet these specifications.
When you hear the term "everything titanium", it means anything that CAN be made out of titanium will be made out of titanium, but NOT THE CHASSIS!!!
Appreciate the update bro. Thank you!
Can you explain the 2 inch stagger on the drivers side more. I don’t get it.
@@beamsupreme993The front edge of the driver's tyre is further forward than the other side, basically it gives the staging beam a bigger target to hit, so you get more roll out (essentially the car can start moving before it actually breaks the beam)
@@beamsupreme993, reaction timer starts when the light goes green. But the ET timer doesn’t start until the laser beam reconnects after the front tire rolls away. So it effectively gets a 2 more inches of “running start” before the ET timer begins.
Although on paper it will seem his reaction time is slower because of math from green light to start of ET.
@@stick004 That seems like a loophole needing to be fixed. It's basically cheating. You're tricking the timing system into thinking that you are still stationary when in fact you are all-ready moving, so the ET will be less. So when you run a 4.999 the slip will say you ran a 4, when in reality you know you started moving say 0.01 seconds earlier, so you actually ran a 5, but cheated your way into a 4. Kinda not in the spirit of the whole point of drag racing or achieving a benchmark time.
Not saying Cleetus is a cheater, but if I had a car like that, in my heart I would always be thinking about the dishonest hundredths of a second.
Like this comment to force Cleeter to extend the month of freedom into MONTHS of freedom!
YEARS OF FREEDOOOOOOOOM
BROTHER
Dislike! Mother father need a break! But still please produce weekly videos 🙏
Lifetime of freedom!!
Cleet! We demand it brother!
We’re gonna need that famous parking lot reenactment when this is all done cleet. But we’ll need Mr Tom recording.
This!
Nah we need Tom saying " Here's my 10000hp Camaro 😂"
Nah we need Tom reenacting the the parking lot skit
Came to say that@@Corneilus123
Love how Cleet says "correct me if I'm wrong" all the time instead of just blagging away like most people in front of a camera.
I'm for a clear coat over the chassis while retaining the heat marks from the welds. There's a challenge for the powdercoat team!
It's actually same process as powdercoating the chassis any other color. Looks pretty cool when it's done.
It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen, crazy quality coming out of that shop!
If anyone hasnt watch the CJRC videos it is well worth the watch! They are very detailed and you can tell they are putting in a lot of work to make sure they are good videos. Hats off to that team, and awesome to see Troy again on the channel :)
Thanks for the shout out! Super happy to be a part of this build, it's going to be epic!
Especially that video where he explained how much titanium costs and how much a build like this will cost ($400k). I doubt Cleeter would ever say what he paid for the car.
The ornery chassis guy (I can't recall his name atm... Sorry dude) is a hoot to listen to, as well. You can just tell he's earned every bit of knowledge he's got squirreled away.
I just subscribed and can’t wait
Seriously worth the watch
Massive progress! Can not wait to see this thing finished!
OMG yes it's gonna be insane. No little 5.0 ford gonna touch it
When are you starting one? You can do eeeet!
I think y'all know a thing or two about big projects ✓
Just got out of the truck from work and there's a cleeter video. Let's freaking go
Same here brother 👍
Same for me, and my feet hurt. Expanded metal isn't foot friendly.
@@izzyplusplusplus1004 expanded metal? I've never heard of that and now I'm curious lol
Was rippin the Vette on the way home, pull in the driveway and see that glorious notification!
@@logandrummond3067 Same here
BROTHER… You know you have to reenact the original Cleetus McFarland video that started everything, but this time it’s really your Camaro and you have to have Kyle record it! That would be so full circle and it’ll be a record breaking video if you do it as close to the original video as possible 😂 what a dream come true ❤🇺🇸💪🏻
With all the love I can have, NEVER LET Cleeter WELD😳😳😳😳.
Yeah that was freaking painful to watch
The ability to build one of these cars blows my mind. Extremely impressive artwork.
This is engineering. Everything is functional and designed with math.
Don't be a dork, it can be both @@mtms42000
I've been watching @CJRaceCars channel video updates on this project and he is a no nonsense straight up professional that is delivering you a superior product that is going to move you up the next step at the strip and I can't fricking wait! Let's GO brother!
I never would’ve thought to stagger the front wheels so you can get off the button earlier, but keep the second bulb lit longer. Slick.
"In our shop its an 11!!" George always pitches the hot ones.
Hes the ultimate hypeman
“Ain’t gonna make that noise with a procharger in it” 12:15
It really should be a pro mod style, big block procharged deal, like the big boys making more than 4,000 hp. But it just seems like they don't want to step up, and instead stay with the Mullet classes with the twin turbos and such.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 mullet makes what, 3000ish? They just turn it down on 275’s. He said before he was gonna run 275’s on this car but it doesn’t have to move the weight that mullet does. We know he’s going big block, a centrifugal supercharger with a small pulley push’s 9-10lbs of boost and it would probably be a 541 hemi or a 572 based engine so it would be 3000-3500 hp. At the weight they are shooting for it’ll be a mid-high 5 second car regardless. I will be happy if they do procharger, change of pace
Love the use of Streamline 4130 for the top bar above your helmet. It used to blow my mind watching the guys straighten 20ft lengths by hand in a all wood lined straightener.
I love when cleetus asked to weld Cameron with no hesitation said yes almost like he was going to ask him to weld it 😂
Look at the face of Tye when Cameron walks into the shot, its gold, its at 4:39
HES A PROFESSIONAL! He can quietly add the rework to the BILL!
The month of Freedom has been great for my gym sessions. Gonna miss it when it's over.
How do you even focus brother😂
@@Cartier2Shiesty Wait pple actually work out at the gym today?
@@atnotthiolnoy1
Some of us do. If not, we end up looking like Cleet...
@@AB-80X 🤣🤣 no string beans 💪🏻
@@atnotthiolnoy1
Or “Italian shirts”💪
Midnight here, sat in garden smoking a doobie chilling under the stars and what happens next cleetus drops a video lets gooooo....
That’s perfect timing right there! 💪🏻
Really cool to see the other side of this build and Cameron seems chill but all business if that makes sense. No doubt that this is a quality pro build, and shows why Tye was such a great grab for Cleet coming from this shop originally.
As a certified CWB welder . That was extremely hard to watch 👀🫣🤭😂🤣. Awesome job welding that race car Cleeter 👌😝
Cleet: Any tips Ty?
Ty: try not to suck 😂😂😂
This is bringing cleet's program to the next level. CJRC is the absolute best at what they do. To the next chapter! Lets go!
After asking chatGPT about a dozen questions I think I understand advantage of front wheel stagger. Start time is not triggered by first tire breaking the beam, it is triggered when the beam is re-established after the tire(s) exit the beam. Building the chassis with one front spindle further back delays the start (and red light trigger) because the beam is interrupted longer. Side benefit is counteracting the torque at launch with a longer moment arm on one side for less torque steer.
Oh wow cool thanks for this, didn't know that.
I was always told that it helps compensate for the chassis flex on high horsepower drag cars.
sounds alot like cheating, like someone needs to enforce a rule book
@@rdejaynes it already is part of a rules book, drag cars are limited to 2 inches of stagger
Just a shout out, I would love to see Cameron get in on the Cleetus shennanigans and mix it up with the boys more. Such knowledge and dedication, gotta get that boy some spotlight... AND his crew. Danny is a wizard no lie.
having the month of freedom the same month as your birthday is an awesome gift, gotta say🤠
Cleetus, you have been killing it this month! I know that the Month of Freedom has to be hard for you, but you really stepped it up this year. Keep up the great work!
Proud of how far you've come brother. Me and the family have been watching since the beginning.
Cameron Johnson and his Crew...Purely Professionals. Just WOW, Cleetus...!!!!
Incredible race car, incredible model choice, incredible manufacturing, this car is going to be a real 5-second rocket.
Hell yeah brother 🤟🏻
I watch almost all the videos and somehow completely missed this entire build. I had no idea it was even happening! Look sick!
I really enjoy the CJRC channel updates. They deserve the attention.
THEY ARE SO FAST! its only been a month since they started! 😎
They are, but also remember a lot of the chassis work is repetitive so they know what they’re doing, and aren’t having to make custom tubes the whole way.
Look forward to these videos every day. You and the guys are killing the youtube game.
4:39 zero hesitation…I love it
The month of freedom has me talking like cleet! Hell yeah brother!!!! I think I’ve said that no less than 100 times to friends this month
Blessed be the month of freedom. Cleeter slapped that upload button right at dinner time!
CAMERON AND THE GUYS ARE KILLING IT . A WORK OF ART . CANT WAIT !
George- " I didnt wanna look under her dress .... LORD HAVE MERCY " 🤣🤣
Cant wait for him to make a video going to Proline to show the engine! He keeps teasing about the motor but ya kinda know what its gonna be, will be nice to see them running a straight up drag motor, the SMX is a beast of a drag and drive motor but to make it street able they have to have a ton more possible weak points, a straight track motor is gonna be a night and day difference for the crew.
Yeah if it’s not a proline or noonan hemi it will be within a year. The classes the car fits only thing that stays together being pushed that hard is a hemi and with youtube deadlines for stuff proline is the answer over noonan there due to there inventory levels and nothing truly ever actually being out of stock. Not to mention Rumor is noonan has been having supply chain issues (to the extent of people having to source there own parts and send them with the engine when they send it back to be refreshed )
@@54raceman i went nelson for my track car because the vast majority of the parts i can get off the shelf from jegs or a few other suppliers, i talked to SME and Noonan and both will tell you flat out that their wait times are crazy because so many of their parts are custom, a replacement crank or cam for a smx is legit month at best to get, i try to race every weekend during the season amd being able to get ahold of replacement parts is a big deal if you want to race regularly and not miss events because of a broken car, and really for the type of racing i do a 3k HP smx or a 2500 HP nelson engine are both gonna get me about the same ET since its impossible to make a clean run on these crappy midwest tracks with either one turned all the way up anyway.
I think it's going to be an SMX engine.
@@iamarawn that would be a really stupid move, SMX is a drag and drive engine, why would you use a drag and drive setup for a track only car? You can get a better engine for way less money and you dont have the added complexity of a cooling system that you dont need for the application, in the first video on this build Cameron slipped up and mentioned the 481x which is a widely used and well proven setup for this exact application, with the added benefit of coming from a much larger shop where you can actually get replacement parts next day instead of the months it takes to get replacement parts from steve which is the same reason leroy isnt running a SML, when you inevitably trash a crank or cam on one of steves engines with it being such a small shop and steves engines being almost entirely custom parts it can take weeks or even months to get a replacement parts, SME makes great motors for D&D cars but there are much better options for a track only build, its kinda like using a wrench to drive a nail, yeah it will do the job but its far from the best option.
@@Greg1096 it makes a lot of sense what you say. I assumed steve had most of it in stock
“Hey can I weld a bit or this?”
“Absolutely” this guy is awesome!!!
Eagles gonna look absolutely killer once done! CJRC doing a great job 💯🔥
Tye’s face at 4:39 is priceless 😂
came to find this comment👌
He already knew it was gonna be a 6/10 at best lol😂😂
Not gonna lie when I seen “Eagle update” I automatically thought of Leroy. Lol. I love hearing professionals talk about their craft. Cameron is awesome.
I’m so excited for this build honestly
This man is the reason i'm building a race car. Thanks for the constant motivation, and getting us so fired up!
"this isn't the welder with the wire in it?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your humor is on point, always puts a smile on my face!
"I did, you just gotta cut me loose."
Sams so great.
That car is going to be so damn cool. Would love to see a pro charger set up but we know cleet is kinda known for turbo set ups.
Naming this Eagle & then getting Eagle body for Leroy might be confusing.
Not for the real fans, it's ok
Never thought about it being confusing.
That's Leroy, it just happens to have a eagle looking head, nobody will be confused, if they are it doesn't matter.
@@simpleman2004 not saying its a big deal but ya right bro,,, people ask daily what "do it for Dale" means & you say nobody will be confused. Ok bet!
I really like the way Cameron does the cage in his cars.
7:55 “In our shop, its an 11” 😂😂😂
CLEET! Impressive skills, bro! Your team is something else. I know you’re taking good care of them. They CLEARLY are working their absolute tails off. WOW!
The welding sketch is funny..." You want me to put my settings in?.." 😂
Anyone else clenching their teeth or yelling “add the rod” while seeing that arc make an ever growing glowing spot with no movement of his left hand?
I can't even weld and I was starting to get worried! 😅
Iv been excited for the solution for mullet steuggling to go faster for awhile so pumped
Big tire
I knew it was coming right after that short got uploaded. All I can say is Hell Yeah Brother!
buddy was being very generous on awarding you a 5.5 on the weld test.🤣
Love how Cleetus always aims for a 7 out of 10. Keepin it real
Eagle and Leroy have some huge content incoming
Between Eagle and Leroy's new body. Man oh man. Business is picking up.
Hell yea brother! So excited to see this beast when it’s done. You gotta race Tom bailey’s car once eagle is done.
Cameron definitely knows his craft. Started following his channel because of you. This man knows what he is doing along with his guys. Glad to see this build being all in Florida. Mad respect to Cameron and crew there is Lakeland. Here in Minneola loving it.
We cannot keep letting Cleetus get away with this! DO NOT let clet weld! 😂
Best month of freedom by far... HELL YEAH BROTHER 🦅🇺🇸🤘
We Love CJRaceCars.
Professional experience! All I could do was listen! Couldn't be around a better group of individuals! I'm lost for words! I'm just a viewer and a fan but genuinely happy you have a great team around you Garret! That's inspiring!
Thinking that I started to follow the channel when leroy got turbos... 😅
The amount of builds they made since then , and the level...raised so frickin much!!!
Car is Looking great so far
I think the car should be called "Patriot" since Leroy is getting a body with an eagle shape. Either way looking forward to seeing the car put together.
There’s already a patriot small tire 1st gen camaro
Can only come up with so many names that aren't taken lol. But I hear ya
Oh mylanta, that eagle is incredible 🦅
I really can't believe how quickly these guys have built this cage etc. Seems like a week ago they were just getting started. I cant wait to see what motor and Trans you run.
I love that the so much of the team went along to look at eagle 😁 just some friends loving cars and sharing a love and a passion for racing and having fun. 🤘 Thanks for all the love and hard work guys.
HELLLL YEAH BROTHER
Next up, Cleetus gets a welding booth. Just like he got a paint booth after painting a helicopter.
I think Tye was brought in to IMPROVE the quality (or lack there of) from the OG days of garrets welding “skills”.
Cleet and Squirrel Mobile Welding. 1800 YER DONE. Burning holes in it since 2024! No helmet Welds so Hot they will Blind Ya! safety Squinting their way across Florida. DAD BODS AND MELTING RODS! Cleet and Squirrel Mobile Welding
COULD WE GET 2 MONTHS OF FREEDOM.. please🍻🤣
Looking so good. Really excited to see where the build continues. Since the first video concerning Eagle, I've actually started ordering parts for my own 69 Camaro project again. Fuel system now on the way.
Honestly man, congrats on taking this next step in your teaching career. Seeing this progress is motivational.
Cleetus,
You said there will be a shit-ton of foam on the seat. You should comoletely mock up the seat now, before finalizing the position of the steering column and ensure you have appropriate headroom with helmet, camera, etcetera.
I know you guys know what you're doing but just wanted to pass along my suggestion to do it once and do it right.
Looking good brother.
Sam is my Favorite . he always so happy.. that man is living his best life getting to play with all the toys.. watching Cleetus buy toys "old cars" when Sam seen them back in the day.. and now we buy and build old cars like it something new.. lol.
I wish you coukd get that A pillar along the side of the windshield shorter and bring the roof down a couple/few inches to give it a little pep and style.
Same guys that built monza Chevelle so I know your car is going to be a work of art
CAMARO! HELL YEAH BROTHER!!🇺🇸 Cannot wait for the wrap/paint job!
Please stay safe in all your adventures. You bring myself and millions of other people great joy!! HELL YEAH TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES THIS CHANNEL!!!
The Camaro body is so sweet! When you started the build, I thought for sure you would build a Superbird tho!
Please please please! Go the subtle route with the paint scheme like you did for mullet. The outrageous paint schemes are awesome on some stuff but the subtle is where it's at! Maybe reconsider the scheme for the copter to a more matte murdered out scheme like the SOF units have on their little birds. Love the channel guys!
May is my birthday month and I couldn’t be more blessed to have this month of freedom
WoW!, a Proline Engine would fit that Body beautifully. Can't wait to see this thing go down the strip and makes a lick.
Man i would LOVE to see eagle on a 20 inch wide asphalt roller of a tire or however big the promod cars ususaly run, It's time to make the step into the big boy shoes Cleet, you KNOW eagle is gonna go there eventualy to run them low 5s.
Man I love this channel so much I’m excited to see this new ripper I cannot explain how much this month of freedom has helped a brotha in need it’s been a damn long month
14:21 for the colorwave of the car right now, that is the abslotue sickest still image of the car imo
Man cleat and squirrel really did a great job on the eagle!
What a true Blessing Garrett 💯🔥 I just seen an old TikTok video of the first time you got pulled over in the Dale truck hahaha You looked so young ! Haha Come a long ways brother! Super proud for you. Living a dream! Good for you man🤟🏼
Sweetest camaro style of all, may God keep you safe in it!
I remember is 2015 when you went to SEMA trying to get on the top 10 list 😂😂 now you actually have a promod. Hell yeah brother 🦅🇺🇸
