I'm Troy from Pro Fab Performance and I'm friends with Cleetus. I've also done work on Leroy, Ruby and the rest of his projects. I totally approve of your build and I subscribed so I can follow along on the journey, good luck!
I just saw this it's 10/17/19 and I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier. You hydro dip wheel were so cool bummer they wouldn't work. I look at you doing this and remember the days years ago when I could do this stay up all night working on cool shit then sleep for one hour get up go to work all day. Then start the whole thing over again do that for weeks. These days I am lucky to stay up til 10 and then pass out til 6 and be proud of myself. You guys are killing it with what you are doing and you have it on video. You have proof you did it. Congrats
@@GARAGEIdiotS but its still so great, for a three week build its awesome, if i were you, then maybe i would've managed to just disassemble the car in three weeks, leave apart cut, welding and fabricating stuff...😁😁😁
@@GARAGEIdiotS I have a 73 Corvette frame with completeperformance suspension from front to rear and was going to attach a Wrangler and modified LS, but I just bought a POS Gazelle that I plan to redesign from the firewall back. I'm gonna have to cut it in half from front to rear and across from side to side. I've already bought a 48 inch frame rail that I can cut in half to stretch it a little more than a foot. Your video has inspired me to get busy .
I just subscribed from where you did the wheels for PFI. When I see you’re doing the JEEP ROD I was in to watch this project. I’ve thought about doing a Jeep Roadster before. But not this route the way you are doing it this is awesome approach and got me to rethink it another way. Keep up the good work.
Hey everyone! Wanted to apologize for the poor film / video quality in this episode. This was one of our very early videos and we sucked at filming haha we’ve gotten better, I think...
I love this idea people always turning vets camaros mustangs trans ams into 4x4 I have always wanted to do the opposite and haven't seen it done until now and your doing a dam great job im surprised chip foose or someone on that level hasn't already offered you a job
I would love to see this vs the LS swapped jeep that has been on 1320 heaps, as would be engine swap vs resto mod. Big question i always have is how legal are these vehicles (as where i live getting this through compliance would be hell to use on street)
I love it I know this build was a while ago I just found this video, I think with the boxy square jeep body the original square front headlights from the yj woulda looked better imo. Awesome build looks great!
Right on!! This video was very poorly made haha it was one of our first, but check out some of our other videos! We’ll be getting back into the Jeep Vette soon!
Thought about it, the vw is significantly shorter so you’d have to pick which wheel wells you want to line up and then extend the body to fit the other one
So the problem I’m running into is the Jeep headlights poke out like 3-4” towards the radiator so I’m going to try to find a radiator that fits between the headlights and then move the grill back
They've been modding jeeps in the Philippines for decades but im sure they don't have access to any corvettes like that but the LOOK is very similar to what you built. Search "Tikya" or "Tamiya Jeep" on youtube.
You must be in Florida they will let you register anything put a motor on your barbecue grill here is your temp tag but you got to put the windshield on it you know chop it in half maybe lean it back a little bit
I really like how you re-bodied your Corvette and I’ve thrown around the idea of doing a body sort of like that but maybe an 80s hatchback or something like that. But something wierd like a yugo lol
I dont know why this is popping up in my reccomended just now, but i love the content! Where did you get the idea to build this? Wish we had people crazy enough to do awesome stuff like this over here in the Netherlands!
When I heard "we're going to take everything off from this Corvette and put this jeep stuff on it..." I said outloud "why would anyone ever do that?" Then I saw the Finney county (Garden City) Kansas license plate and said..."oh ok...that explains it."
@@GARAGEIdiotS it's definitely not done yet thats got a lot more to go to look like anything but a salvage Corvette with Jeep parts welded on here and there... Hope you can pull it off but there alot more work before you can really say you accomplished something.
Johnny the fact that what you’ve seen in this video was done in 30 days basically by myself while working a full time job and then driving it to a racing event and parking with Cleetus and watching him smile when it pulled up is an accomplishment to me. But the end result I have in my head is a clean Jeep rod look. So yea tons of work let but we’ll keep going
SELL ALL THE TAKE OFFS TO CLEETUS FOR LEROY HE NEEDS A BIT OF AERO-DYNAMICS *IE* BODY PANELS. HOPE YOU DECIDED TO AD METAL BEHIND THE DOOR OPENINGS AND IN FRONT OF THE WHEEL OPENINGS . TO MAKE IT LOOK NICER AND MORE LIKE A REAL VEHICLE INSTEAD OF A JAZZED UP MESS.
@@GARAGEIdiotS : I just started watching the videos in order yesterday and I have to say you're pretty good at figuring shit out on a whim. Keep up the good work.
I hate to be "that guy" but man at least try to get your face in the frame and all that. it makes the videos look better and more professional. Overall it's cool as hell though man. Keep building.
I like calling it Jevette haha We fixed the misfire, we have a few newer videos of it, just started working on it again today so we’ll have a new video up soon!
Because everyone has a corvette, I’m not a fan of the C5 bodies and it had tons of cracks on the body, ls1 blew up and a 5.3 was swapped in it. Lots of little things that made it a good corvette to choose for this project.
So at 7:40 why didn’t you just lay the body down before you made the final cut lol. It wouldn’t of fell. Anyways cool video I will check out the rest of the channel.
***Put fender flares for a big chevy or dodge something real aggressive and put some American Forces with a clean bad a$$ off set my friend. Check out what i build with wood on Instagram @joeyturnerdetails stay blessed keep up the good work but you put those rims with an off set and window and hood and flares then do othe videos of LS enginge builds in your mini lifted but slammed jeep... Meaning those rims are not just for lifted trucks plus the LS enginge swaps are big right now you need to take that the hoonigan there channel wow your channel will blow up my friend. I dont charge alot for ideas that work hit me up but trust me GN my friend.*** P.S. Remember life doesn't happen you make life happen. Always give him the credit and your good.
Good video fellas! I only just discovered it. I use this sort of show to keep motivated with my own project. Keep it simple. There will be pressure to dumb it down and make your videos short and shiny, but the steps in the process are universal to all projects. Try to plan, set milestones, finish one thing at a time if possible, don't panic. It gives garage guys the first and second steps on their own journey. How many people say "I wouldn't know where to start" I say buy an angle grinder. Wolseley2850project.
I saw a picture of an old Willy’s Jeep hot rod I fell in love with. And then thought “man it’d be cool for it to look like a slammed Jeep but handle like a corvette” and then light bulb, then we bought a vette and started cutting
you cut up a jeep body and put it on a corvette chassis, but you expect it to look like a $20K roadster? not sure what reality your living in, but Cletus's Leroy still looks better.
I'm Troy from Pro Fab Performance and I'm friends with Cleetus. I've also done work on Leroy, Ruby and the rest of his projects. I totally approve of your build and I subscribed so I can follow along on the journey, good luck!
No way!!!! I know who you guys are!!! Absolutely love your work and am honored to hear that coming from you!! Thanks man!
Thanks, it's what I do... and I play bass in an all original metal band. Lol
Troyrockstar nice!!
Tag Cleetus he may want some parts for Leroy!!!
I'm so glad this was in my recommendations
This video was poorly filmed haha but thanks for watching! We’ll be getting back into our remount compound turbo set up soon!
I love it you r such a artist .... I absolutely believe u r creating the coolist shit by far keep it up dude !!!!
Thanks! That’s quite a compliment!
One of my favorite new channels. The GSR Bug is a big factor for me but this is very cool as well.
Hey Nathan's garage, i love your fat betty build
I just saw this it's 10/17/19 and I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier. You hydro dip wheel were so cool bummer they wouldn't work. I look at you doing this and remember the days years ago when I could do this stay up all night working on cool shit then sleep for one hour get up go to work all day.

You guys are killing it with what you are doing and you have it on video. You have proof you did it. Congrats
Thanks man!!! Your comment made my day!! Keep watching! We’re only going to get more creative and more idiotic haha
This is so ridiculous. I'm so glad someone did it. Can't wait to see what you do next.
Thanks man, sorry the film quality was so bad, this was one of our early videos. Thanks for watching!
You finished it in three weeks start to finish...😲😲😲😲 wow that's awesome...
I mean it’s still ugly but yea haha
@@GARAGEIdiotS but its still so great, for a three week build its awesome, if i were you, then maybe i would've managed to just disassemble the car in three weeks, leave apart cut, welding and fabricating stuff...😁😁😁
Subscribing after watching the jeep vette build. Look forward to what else you do.
Right on! That was such a poorly done video haha thanks for giving us another shot!
GARAGE IdiotS Video was good actually. Didn’t have all the extra youtube nonsense. Straight work and results! Keep it up man.
Thanks man!!
Ugh, the lean breakup and popping is just nails on a chalkboard to me!
Nice. Reminds me of owner type jeeps from the Philippines. Hot-rodded old jeeps from WWII.
Looking good.
I've already watched this but TH-cam kept Recommending it so I watched it again.. still entering.
Well thank you sir!
@@GARAGEIdiotS I have a 73 Corvette frame with completeperformance suspension from front to rear and was going to attach a Wrangler and modified LS, but I just bought a POS Gazelle that I plan to redesign from the firewall back.

Turned out way better than I expected! Looks like it rips!
It’s a blast to drive! Still tons of work to do on it!
The name of this channel is perfect for this build!!! WTF!!!
gotta say that looked like so much fun, and doable, very cool indeed bud. !
Thanks man!
Check out some of the newer videos! We’re about to get crazy!
@@GARAGEIdiotS i absolutely will ! i have a feeling im gonna like what i see lol (reminds me of what goes on in my mind )lol
Hahah right on!!
I just subscribed from where you did the wheels for PFI. When I see you’re doing the JEEP ROD I was in to watch this project. I’ve thought about doing a Jeep Roadster before. But not this route the way you are doing it this is awesome approach and got me to rethink it another way. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Eddie!!
I love it... I must have one, my uncle used to own one in the Philippines but his Willy’s got jacked
Ah that sucks!! They are too much fun!
The Corvette is the only American car I like.
It is definitely one of the best
Man a c4 is soooo much harder to tear apart..... Took me days with a grinder and sawzall to clean the chassis
you were able to register this as a jeep(s)?!?! lmao! figured it'd have to go off the frame/engine, not the body(s)!
Nice build!
Thanks! Check out the newer videos of it!!
Cool I just subscribed.
I was going to do this with a camaro and jeep cheerokee. Seems I've been beat to the idea some what....
cec4video do it!! I wanna do a Cherokee on a Silverado next haha
very cool
This is really cool subscribing!!! Jeep+chevy=bald eagles
Thanks!
Hey everyone! Wanted to apologize for the poor film / video quality in this episode. This was one of our very early videos and we sucked at filming haha we’ve gotten better, I think...
Man sorry I'm late. This thing's epic.
Thanks man haha
Doesn't matter the build is already very inpressive
I liked and subscribed soon as I saw the video title....and oh yeah your channel name...lol ....I liked where it was going! Keep on keepin on Bro👍🏼
Thanks man!!!
Awesome!!! I love it!!!
Thanks! Check out the newest video of it with the rear compound turbos mocked up!
Fukn awesome!!
Thanks!!
@@GARAGEIdiotS I always wanted to do a Jeep on the track just never figured what frame was best to use. You deff nailed that!! Too cool!
I love this idea people always turning vets camaros mustangs trans ams into 4x4 I have always wanted to do the opposite and haven't seen it done until now and your doing a dam great job im surprised chip foose or someone on that level hasn't already offered you a job
Haha that was a very nice compliment! Thanks man!!
Great idea can’t wait to see this bad boy complete pitter patter let’s get at er
Check out some of the new videos of it!
I would love to see this vs the LS swapped jeep that has been on 1320 heaps, as would be engine swap vs resto mod.
Big question i always have is how legal are these vehicles (as where i live getting this through compliance would be hell to use on street)
That Vette seems rare because it's my 1st time I see a C5 with that rear fascia
Yea it was aftermarket. It was called a shark tail? Or shark something style bumper
@@GARAGEIdiotS fucking ugly...that's what it was!
I do t like vette’s but I like that back end that was on it
This sounds fun!
I love it I know this build was a while ago I just found this video, I think with the boxy square jeep body the original square front headlights from the yj woulda looked better imo. Awesome build looks great!
I’m not a fan of the square head lights :/ but thanks for watching man!! We’ll be getting back into it soon!
I love everything about this!
Thanks!!!
I'm new to the channel ...I flipping love it lol
Right on!!
We're did u get the Corvette at
Craigslist
At 4:40 "now it's no turning back" lol
west monroe joe hahaha
super happy this popped up
Right on!! This video was very poorly made haha it was one of our first, but check out some of our other videos! We’ll be getting back into the Jeep Vette soon!
Would this be possible on the vw shell bug?
Thought about it, the vw is significantly shorter so you’d have to pick which wheel wells you want to line up and then extend the body to fit the other one
it looks like you can move the radiator back 5 or so inches, which could probably help getting a hood on there right?
So the problem I’m running into is the Jeep headlights poke out like 3-4” towards the radiator so I’m going to try to find a radiator that fits between the headlights and then move the grill back
wait... 4 YEARS??? LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
This is amazing
Haha thanks!!
They've been modding jeeps in the Philippines for decades but im sure they don't have access to any corvettes like that but the LOOK is very similar to what you built. Search "Tikya" or "Tamiya Jeep" on youtube.
sort of feels like a tamya
Love it
Lengthen the wheel base of Jeep using the extra body you have it will look awesome
Keep made a extended version go for that look
Great proyect How much does it weight?
If I remember right it was 2840ish with me in it
This is respectable
Check out the newer video! We’re moving right along!
Congratulations. You just built an airport tug that sounds like a Proctor Silex hot air corn popper.
Oh come on now. You’d change your mind if you went for a ride!! It’s so fun to drive!
@@GARAGEIdiotS Of that I have not doubt!
Wow ... 🤣🤣🤣 Like it
Haha thanks man
You must be in Florida they will let you register anything put a motor on your barbecue grill here is your temp tag but you got to put the windshield on it you know chop it in half maybe lean it back a little bit
Dude it's been over 2 years! Is it ready yet??? 😜👍
Mannn but spacers and 37 inches tires after that you will come a monster
Haha it’s look awesome but don’t like the safety aspect of it
Yeah, it was misfiring bad haha pop pop Good start though. Can only get better!
SO COOL! Subbed! Im going a kart build as well and this has given me an idea lol
Right on!! What are you thinking?
I really like how you re-bodied your Corvette and I’ve thrown around the idea of doing a body sort of like that but maybe an 80s hatchback or something like that. But something wierd like a yugo lol
Haha right on!
This thing is siiiick!!
Thanks!!
I like the idea of this project. In my opinion it would have looked better if it was stretched behind the door opening .
That’s a fair point! There are several things I would’ve done differently haha
Excelente saludos desde Cali Colombia
I dont know why this is popping up in my reccomended just now, but i love the content! Where did you get the idea to build this? Wish we had people crazy enough to do awesome stuff like this over here in the Netherlands!
Dude why didnt you buy a compleat running chassis of the net no disasembly
ah, the good ole corveep
TOP 💯👏👏👏
I remember seeing that corvette around garden city ks
Really?
@@GARAGEIdiotS yea thats were that car is from it was a badass corvette I thought so
Crazyyyyyyy
When I heard "we're going to take everything off from this Corvette and put this jeep stuff on it..." I said outloud "why would anyone ever do that?" Then I saw the Finney county (Garden City) Kansas license plate and said..."oh ok...that explains it."
Lol we’re in Colorado, I bought it from Kansas
Why ! The vet looked nice !
I wanted to try it!!
get some fenders on it, make it look as much like an actual jeep as possible, then go smoke some hot rods. Blow their minds.
Haha sounds like a plan!
Napa sucks that’s cold bros 😂. It’s Cesar From Napa Arvada 😂
Hey what happened to the miata
It’ll be back soon
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should
And yet, we did.
@@GARAGEIdiotS it's definitely not done yet thats got a lot more to go to look like anything but a salvage Corvette with Jeep parts welded on here and there... Hope you can pull it off but there alot more work before you can really say you accomplished something.

How could you do that to corvettes
It has multiple cracked body panels, ABS box leaked, ls1 was blown and replaced with a 5.3 and everyone has a C5 corvette lol
@@GARAGEIdiotS I see I like C5
So what you're saying is that you should have used a Scrambler body ;-)
Didn't your mom told you not to take drugs?😂
not one has done it here in the Philippines
SELL ALL THE TAKE OFFS TO CLEETUS FOR LEROY HE NEEDS A BIT OF AERO-DYNAMICS *IE* BODY PANELS. HOPE YOU DECIDED TO AD METAL BEHIND THE DOOR OPENINGS AND IN FRONT OF THE WHEEL OPENINGS . TO MAKE IT LOOK NICER AND MORE LIKE A REAL VEHICLE INSTEAD OF A JAZZED UP MESS.
Lol
Interesting...
It’s different for sure, it’s amazingly fun to drive
@@GARAGEIdiotS : I just started watching the videos in order yesterday and I have to say you're pretty good at figuring shit out on a whim. Keep up the good work.
Ok, so...its registered, but as what? A red vette or ???
VIN would say Corvette and the look would make a cop think jeep. LOL
Philippine style😝
If you shorten the front it will look killer
That’s the plan!! We’ll have some more videos of it out soon!
We’re are u located ?
Denver Colorado
What with scrap metal and spare parts the project should pay for itself!
It came pretty close!! With the Jeep and the corvette we’re only in the whole project $2200 after selling all the corvette parts
Are you a Filipino?
Negative
got it.
I hate to be "that guy" but man at least try to get your face in the frame and all that. it makes the videos look better and more professional. Overall it's cool as hell though man. Keep building.
This was one of our first videos haha the quality isn’t good, I appreciate you being honest! We’ve gotten better haha
63 inches...no dont cut that jeep.
Hahaha it's a Corveep
Hey, for the misfire, Hoonigan just fixed this issue for their Corvette. Could be the same fix for you?
I like calling it Jevette haha
We fixed the misfire, we have a few newer videos of it, just started working on it again today so we’ll have a new video up soon!
jeevette
Y would u ever do that to a perfectly good corvette for a jeep
Because everyone has a corvette, I’m not a fan of the C5 bodies and it had tons of cracks on the body, ls1 blew up and a 5.3 was swapped in it. Lots of little things that made it a good corvette to choose for this project.
Ya to each his own ig I bet it would be fun to drive tho
So at 7:40 why didn’t you just lay the body down before you made the final cut lol. It wouldn’t of fell. Anyways cool video I will check out the rest of the channel.
I had no idea you could make a C5 look good, too bad for the jeep though.
Haha if it makes you feel better I saved the Jeep tub from the scrap yard

Thats my dreem , to modify a jeep ,
But sad news 😢 is ,. Not registered on RC , illegal activities in INDIA (DELHI CITY )
Im all for hacking shit up I love it, but holy shit this poor poor c5 looks disgusting

Not yet haha I’m not sure what I’m doing for a windshield yet
There weather where I live ruined my frame and they are hard to find
This looks dope though love the CJ grill
Ah man! Sorry to hear that! And thanks! We’ll be making some more content on it soon!
Good deal
muy bueno el trabajo, pero los videos largos y aburridos
Thanks!!
Hi
why are you doing this ?
For fun?
I saw a picture of an old Willy’s Jeep hot rod I fell in love with. And then thought “man it’d be cool for it to look like a slammed Jeep but handle like a corvette” and then light bulb, then we bought a vette and started cutting
But why!!!!!!!!!!!!
you cut up a jeep body and put it on a corvette chassis, but you expect it to look like a $20K roadster? not sure what reality your living in, but Cletus's Leroy still looks better.
Lol you missed some parts of the video apparently
Fix your intake. That's why she running like shit. That pip is crushed
That was not the reason it ran bad lol but we did fix the misfire, this video is over a year old
@@GARAGEIdiotS so what does the beast look like now
Joshua Hobby go through our videos, we have 2 from a month ago or so. Well have a new video up this week!
