$400 In WHEELS Made The Rat Infested Corvette Look INCREDIBLE

- I bought a 2000 Chevy Corvette convertible that sat in a barn, got ate up by rats, then sat outside for years at a shop. It runs and drives (barely) and was only $5,000. In the last video we changed it over to ZO6 suspension and deleted the old real time damping setup. Now it's time to lower the car as far as it will go on stock bolts, and install a set of cheap C6 wheels. The silver painted wheels make the car look a bit newer, and they came with Continental tires on them that are far better than the old Sceptors. This cheap upgrade makes huge difference in the looks department.

You are one hard working dude, fixing all these cars, handling a shop and making youtube videos on the daily
Yes he is, but I think he's doing quite well just off TH-cam. I know I watch all his videos.
@@bigjohnson7415 I don't know how he manages to cram so much into a day
@@davidcohen4237 Indeed. Definitely a hard working young man! Too bad we didn't have TH-cam 30+ years ago when I was his age. But, I'd probably still have been to lazy to utilize it.
jon ross is definitely about that action, mans get shit done!
@@justswippin2693 that’s what I like about JR. He gets things done! 💪
I think this Vette deserves a Maaco paint job video.
And be sure that you let a child pick the color :-)
Lets not put a foot through a Rembrandt. First quality paint job is required. Not MAACO (latter day Earl Scheib)
Im always impressed how you manage to do one full video almost every day and still keep the production value on a steady lvl! Awesome!
Appreciate the hustle dude! You are definitely one busy guy! Enjoy the daily videos
All my diesel trucks I installed Fumoto Valves. No mess, no stripped pan bolts. Then again I change oil about every 6 weeks.
I have put those on my last 2 vehicles and if you have the room and the correct positioning for them they are the only way to go......I sure love mine.
Everything looks good for a price. But that spec green over tan, stick shift is priceless. Love that car.
It's just a matter of time before Junior get 1 million subs. Great videos dude.
Makes my day when he starts with his usual Intro! LOVE IT
New game like where's Waldo, Where's "The Golden Ratchet"! 9:49! Feel like you need to add a "Bring Me The Golden Ratchet" Shirt on the store. :D
"That's not gonna look right, so I bought them for $400 and they're gonna look incredible"😂😂😂🤔
Don’t forget to ceramic coat your wheels. LOL
I did 😃
Maybe you need to look at adding a waste oil heater to one of the shops to help take some of the load from the HVAC during the winter and put that dead oil to good use seeing how you have a fleet to maintain and lots of space to heat.
Yep the Car Wizard mentioned it one of his videos, and said it's more, or less paid for itself.
9:47 THE GOLDEN RACHET
Follow Vice Grip and wear a mask when you go into O'Reilly. Show some respect to the family and folks in the store. I know it’s Kansas but y’all aren’t all that stupid. Love the content. I’m just buying every car you buy. Got the Abarth now a C30 not sure about a C5.
No masks in KS anymore, he might live in a mask state 🍻
the one dislike is the rotted out soft-top
Hahah, that top has to go! 😬
You know you are the dislike guy.. it's so covert that it's overt
@@westonmickey3890 i liked the video! ask JR!
I love the new alloys! I'm so glad they're silver and not chrome, or black, anyhting but black! Be different and keep them silver, they look awesome!
That perpetual check engine light on the F250 would drive me nuts.
As this video started I thought about volunteering as tribute to play camera operator for a week with you.
But as much Taco Bell you guys eat you would send me packing the first day. I said "You don't have enough exhaust fans on the back wall for me and Taco Bell. And my wife agreed.
The vette looks like it smells bad. Still fun to watch though.
4:41 music by Ballpoint, here's "Whatchya." Thanks for hitting me with that.
Can’t be bespoke without some poke! Looks awesome!
glad to see more videos on the vette!
Maybe respray the Corvette - OEM colour at Macco Paint Shop
I went on a factory tour with my dad when these were getting built. I have wanted one ever since.
I put chrome C-6 rims on my C-5, as well. I too put wheel spacers on the rear. Looked great...last long time.
Thanks for keeping your videos consistent event hough you have a ginormous shop!
C5 wheels are nice. I have had them on my c4 and c5 for many year but I also picked up some c6 rims for my c4 because so many have c5 rims on there c4 now. Time for a change. You can’t spray clear over that you need to repaint it, base coat and clear coat.
When ard you going to put out the Aztek interior clean-up?!!
That's nice of the detail dude to help you so much
My c5 rides on c6 polished wheels with 20mm adapters, looms perfect. Good call on those for 400 bucks!
Macco paint job ftw
Just a heads up buddy anytime you lift a vet on a lift you should open the doors and open the hood and trunk because the fiberglass will flex and can crack the body panels if you don't open them all up. I worked at a tire shop here in South Florida for many years and that's the first thing they taught us!
Is that a big chunk of tread missing on the front tyre?
The WEEZARD has one upped you
I had a transport service moving A TRX from Fond Du Lac to Texas stop in here the other day. That thin is a beast.
Killin it as usual JR
I am intrigued by the Nissan Cube in the shop! Another side project? 😀
Yeah, when I saw it, I was like why does he have a Nissan Cube?
I didn’t know you actually had two hands...
_Have seen more C5s with the same clear coat issues, especially on the upper part of the doors. Overall, this 'RatVette' is coming together JR. Sure hope you freshen the color, and or do a cool wrap. Decent find.(That said, with your knowledge and mechanical expertise, you'll make this 80,000 mile 'bow-tie' someone's baby again). Totally here for it._
lol you bought the Cube??
When are you getting the new body for the Camaro?
Gold Harbor Freight ratchet for the win on the Ford pickup oil change!!!
When it comes to forex investment it is the king of the jungle especially when one knows how to trade as for those of us that has no knowledge in trading there are tons of brilliant investors you could invest with that would yield good results
i totally agree with you on this that there are good forex brokers that one can invest with and get back huge returns because ever since I started *investing with Brittni Glazer reluctantly and its unbelievable how my life has changed since then
@@marlenecortez2002 Wow it feels really nice to find people also profiting because trading had been a lot more easier with Brittni glazer i invested $1000 and got a profit of $9,500 after 7 days of trade her accountability has always been the best
@@julianberner9978 I and my family have greatly benefited from trading with Brittni Glazer this year, we've moved into our new house which we got the money to acquire it from by investing with her
@@marlenecortez2002 I've actually heard about her, but I don't know how to get in touch with her.
@@ethanclarkson8046 You can contact her on Telegram
All those lifts and changing the truck oil on the floor... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if there is a hard top that could be put on the vette?
Was gonna sleep but this sounds better !!
Have you gotten in touch with motion raceworks for a wiring harness?
Man I love this corvette. If you do a give away (or dollar sale) count me in.
I just got a Yellow 03 back in Jan of this year. Wish I had that 2 tone interior instead of the plain black.
Part of the fun of changing oil on a diesel is getting covered in oil. lol
when you drop car do you need alignment
The ‘vette is starting to look good.👍 Sweet TRX just crying out for some KC Daylighters on the roll bar 😎.
Nice CUBE in the background. I just bought one and I love it. It’s so weird it’s cool. 😎
Had mine since 2010. I'm 6'4" its the first car I've ever had to pull the seat forward to drive. I could wear a hat while driving. Only problem I've ever had was an ignition coil went bad. Love mine. 😁
@@eldonerc2524 yeah I guess only people who have one get each other. Fine by me 😎
Wheels look good. Maaco paint job.
Bright orange !
Engine light on truck still on ?
Great video from everardo Martinez first cut landscaping in Houston Texas
I got I have C6 Wheels all the way around 19 in 305 in the back 275 for the front convertible black
The only C5 we have over here was made by a company called Sinclair which is also a cabriolet but I doubt it’s quite as quick as the US version.
My '00 had 275/40's on the rear, I think. What's the story with the C6 I keep seeing?
I had a lot of issues with my extreme contacts wearing within 5-10k miles, they were aligned properly and balanced. Also thought it could be suspension related so I to replaced my suspension realigned and did brake calipers, pads and rotors. Still wore out all 4 within 10k with no burnouts just normal daily driving. So just keep an eye on em
I had 2 sets and both cupped. Wondered if there was something wrong with my suspension but quick google showed it's common problem with these Contis. The Yokos I have on now aren't cupping. Other than that, I liked them.
I finally got to watch JR Funnel.
Most people: Banana for scale
JR: iPHONE 12 FOR SCALE
It is really tough to watch Levi walking, but probably is good to keep moving👍👍 keep up with the great videos.
It’s got a bit of the ‘Memento’ XK8 vibe about it with the 5 spokes and tan interior / hood.... get it resprayed in that Jaguar green ?
Hi JR, love your work. How many miles has the F250 done since the last oil change? As a European I can’t help but feel that America has been gaslighted into changing oil every third Tuesday by the Jiffy Lube manta whereas Europeans often go 20,000mi between oil changes and still enjoy high mileage vehicles.
Much better looking on the corvette 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍and for the record factory chrome wheels they peel just as bad I had a 2000 navigator and the chrome was peeling coming off the wheels every time you cleaned them !!! 😤 they are just not worth the extra money if you drive car year around .
Looks like the old mufflers still on in this vid?
Fram ultra filters on my Duramax FTW!
Could the vette be wrapped?
Loving the videos man!
When you get to paint, please do it right. Bumpers and detachable panels removed, sand paint to factory primer, paint jambs with all hardware removed. three base coats and three clear coats followed by a full cut and buff. You can show your audience how a repaint is done to a very high standard. And please keep it Polo Green
Turning the stock bolt out will raise the car ?
What kind of corvette is that in the back it’s beautiful
What a great video.
Are those authentic C6 wheels? I was under the impression the wheels could just be bolted on to a C5 without the need for spacers.
They are and they do actually fit without rubbing... but they're tucked to far back in the wheel well 🍻
The Ratvette build is 👍🏼
Bro your refrigerator is nicer than the car and building 😂
Is it more weight per wheel?
Can the car be wrapped and look OK?
I would like to see if someone could correct the clear coat on the vet. It is a pretty color. I have the same clear coat pell on my vet. Just not as bad.
JR is the stabilization turned “on” on the camera it’s really shaky.
What in the Nissan Cube is that doing in the shop?
I have Continentals on My Pantera and My Infiniti! Love them, Great Tires!
What's with the Corvette with the New York State window tags in the background?
Sooooo are the old wheels for sale?
When I first saw the wheels I went Nup, but now their on the car they look great.
Time to get it to Maaco and get the Hoovie special.
Forget the Trex tell me about that CUBE! 🤓
So....$6300 in the car? That is awesome. I'm at the point of doing a brake upgrade for my Porsche 981 for about $2500.
Didn't hoonigan get a 5k c5?
You could do a video on eating at taco bell and get a full butt load of videos. I think you are now TH-cam Royalty. Way to go man
🤔”C6 wheels…hmm…it’s not gonna look right”…….”400 dollars? They’re gonna look incredible!!”😂
JR in the early shot that one, I think rear tire looks almost bald. Just say'n.
John whats happening with the roof we need some updates on the workshop.
Did you get a recall on your F250?
At first i thought the TRX had some crazy Charger bro banana treatment.
That TRX is unbelievable!
Not bad but JR needs to work on his "Corvette guy" look. 😅
Jorts and New Balance. And maybe a t-shirt that either looks like an American flag or at least has one on it somewhere.
Maaco paint job maybe? 🤔
If I could help Watch JR Goes install the new wheels and tires on the Corvette and do the oil change on the truck I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the Number and get all schmoked up
Cinco de mayo no Taco Bell? Great project. First time I've seen a funnel. Right in time 11:30pm not am
