Protecting Cleetus McFarland from SHRAPNEL!

[@CJRaceCars]

Let’s gooo! This thing is starting to really take shape! Engine should be in next week and on to some big progress.

[@Ole_CornPop]

The best in the business ladies and gentlemen.

[@TheNovaist]

ABSOLUTELY love the the detail and dedication yall show. Cleetus known for destruction has to change his ways for this build if he wants beautiful works of art like this on his channel. Dan and everyone else show how much they love this work and how much it lets it create beautiful works of art for their cars!

[@outdoorsdream]

These updates are awesome! Keep em pumping out 🙌🏼 great fab team and camera work

[@SteveMacdaddy]

Absolutely killing it. Let's freaking go!!

[@s3quattro10]

What did you say the engine was again? 😬

[@simpleman2004]

I like how the cameraman asks questions and the guys answer with a good attitude.

[@jlett24]

I love this aspect

[@alexdillon5348]

I feel like they have really taken him under their wing and are so willing to educate, almost like he is their apprentice and just HAPPENS to be the one filming the videos too

[@dertmatyui]

Alotta guys hate when you ask questions like that, love that aspect

[@Andrew_AWMEDIA]

beside filming, cars are my passion, being able to learn this aspect of racing from this crew has been nothing short of a blessing! im glad everyone is not only enjoying the content but learning as well!!🏁

[@xXSlickNickXx757]

Thats called proffesionalism 👌these guys are top notch. Ocd is good for a race car thats for sure

[@markdepriest418]

Cant compliment the videographer enough...his questions at the right time gives extra explanation in the process. Your feed is probably the most anticipated of all the car related content.

[@Andrew_AWMEDIA]

🏁

[@BensRamblings]

Each video they put out is better than the last one and I agree the questions are well timed and informative.

[@shroom9033]

Never loose that camera man. These are professional fabricators that are used to putting their heads down and working. They have made a lot of progress on this car in a very short time but the camera man being inquisitive and making these fabricators explain what they are doing and why is making the channel. The camera man seems very interested too and will just gain more knowledge to make the filming better as time goes on

[@1dickycat]

Agreed!

[@Kenny-1958]

Cleetus has a reputation for producing shrapnel, so more shields the better.

[@CJRaceCars]

😳

[@davidtappe5337]

I’ve seen other builds, but this one is special. Can’t wait to see the power plant…… before Cleetus grenades it. Bahahaha Bahahaha

[@shroom9033]

He just adds power, pushes the drive train and neglects some things just being inexperienced. So far he hasn't wrecked anything but it will happen one day as long as he keeps racing. That young man is a wheel man for sure. He has natural skills and made a buisness about him racing, so he also gets plenty of wheel time too. His fastest cars hopefully have enough safety to keep him alive for years to come.

[@Rollin8.0]

​@@shroom9033I think a lot of their issue is they just have so many projects on the go. Most race teams or individuals have one, maybe two cars to worry about, plus a daily or two. He has like 10 cars, a race track, a plane, a helicopter, Jet boat/s and now an airfield to worry about. It would be very hard to keep on top of everything and still get more than 2 hours of sleep each night.

[@shk2564]

The cameraman is asking the questions that a lot of us have and the guys are great at answering them! I love that! ❤

[@Hodge3425]

Mr. Cameron, I think other people would agree that we would love to see A video focused on who you are as a person and your background and what you like and don’t like, basically let people get to know you. I think that’s part of Cleetus’s success formula, we are invested in him and his success!

[@CJRaceCars]

I can do that. As long as it doesn’t bore people to sleep 😂

Thank you camera dude!! Keep asking questions

[@EddNoll]

I've been around race cars my whole life and I'm pushing 60. I have to just tell you and your team how impressed I am! The perfection and rethought into every part, panel and bend is pure art work. Sucks you have to cover it with body panels. I am from now on a fan of this channel. I love how much I've learned and how everyone explains the and why. Great race cars. I find it hard to see how anyone could do better.

[@Selilifts32]

Ik he gets alot of good comments, but shout out to andrew, I went back and looked at some older videos, the camera work and editing is so much better now, everything looks so nice now, super professional work!

​@TheOnlyPenguin i wonder if they have welding glasses?

[@knightsofthehokeypokey8296]

I love that you can see the passion these guys put into their work. It might just look like a simple pannel/bar to anyone else but the cameraman asking about it you can tell just how much thought goes into every aspect of every build

[@chucksherron]

I appreciate how the cameraman is taking on a producer type role and becoming the voice of the viewer. Asking questions that we would all like to ask.

[@thomasvittetoe1930]

On KZbin a great camera man like this is worth there weight in gold, can make or break a channel, this guy is great

Hey Cameron you guys are definitely killing it on the eagle I can't believe how quickly you guys are getting this car done I've heard about cars staying a year or longer in a shop but you guys are definitely moving along can't wait to see it finished

[@DaltonEMain]

I always see people pondering on who Cleet is going with for engines, bodies, tuners, etc., but none of that really matters. What matters is Cleet is living his dream and he's helping a lot of small companies get the exposure that they would otherwise never get. Cleetus likes to compete and he likes to give people a shot when he sees something that impresses him. I'm more excited to see eagle and leroy come to life just as much as I'm excited to see mullet with a big block again winning drag and drives!

[@kc2giw]

Thing about this video series is….i don’t think these cars are that expensive anymore. I came into this understanding you gotta pay to play and that building a race car is tough - but every video continues to point out allll the stuff I never thought about. You guys are real masters.

[@rast4man]

The education aspect is the coolest part. Teaching people how to use machines and do different things shows how the company operates. I'd quit my 6 figure IT job to come sweep the floors if I was taught how to do these things.

[@MarkLohde]

Give the cameraman a raise! Asking knowledable questions that adds to the story is rare for a cinematographer. Keeps their flow and makes them pay attentions to their skills. Keep this guy and the editor good work!

[@BotsWeekendCovers]

Its so sad that the old guys like me that did this stuff are not able to pass it on. The young ones today don't want anything to do with getting their hands dirty :( Your crew is outstanding. Get a couple young ones to teach. Beautiful build.

We have a few thankfully

Watching this process and getting to know your camp through the videos has been so enjoyable! I'll be here after Eagle goes home with Cleet, thanks for the killer content!

[@TurboA4]

I love the attention to detail. I'm sure your clients appreciate it too. The build is looking incredible, I'm here to the end.

[@wideslammer]

I'm a retired high school math teacher with no background in fabrication. Since I have started watching your channel (Cleetus' car), I have found it to be very interesting seeing the kind of work that goes into building a first-class race car. Always looking forward to seeing the next video. Of course, I can go back and look at what you've built and videoed before I joined the channel.

[@Scottholiday13F]

Danny is a national treasure! He’s the grandfather we miss! So meticulous in his work and art! Explains everything better than a checklist or book could! Seeing the methods of madness from these fabricators is fucking awesome! This is way better than anything Netflix did! ( not bashing, just enjoy this style) thanks for the content and knowledge!

[@bobqzzi]

This is a fascinating mix of technology and hand craftsmanship. They have a cnc laser machine that produces parts from a computer file, and also a guy who spends 2 days meticulously bending brake lines to fit. Very cool

[@tylergaudet2827]

This video series show how good of a team you guys have built. The knowledge you have in that shop is what will keep you growing. From the videos it seems like a very high level of moral and positivity.

[@nbk9nbk1]

You can literally show every part of the build and explain how to do it and not be worried about someone else doing it .... priceless in a buiness

[@ToxicBreak13]

Love the commitment to quality and commitment. This is art not just fabrication. And I love the camera guy probing for a more "layman's terms" explanation for people that dont understand the jargon. I'm an industrial maintenance technician and after I fix something in the plant, production needs a report and I often good looked at like I'm speaking albanian trying to explain what a flux capcitor does and struggle to remember to dumb it down for people not familiar with it. I feel it so bad. I laugh every time he does it. Dont stop! You are teaching thousands about an art and career path that the majority of the world doesnt know exists anymore! Love it!

The technology in that shop and these guys that can run it to make parts is pretty impressive. Most people assume that stuff is done by some computerized machine or stamped out of a sheet of metal in some far away land, without the hand of a guy with a passion for fab work and race cars. Be awesome to know you and your buddies hand built a car that milliond of people will watch and be fans of.

17:17 my highly successful executive wife heard him talk about making sure there was what she called “labor redundancy”. Where there was more than one person knowing how to do each job function. She said that hearing him talk for just a few moments gave her the impression that he could be successful anywhere. She is a team builder for the corporate world, and her goal is to make herself redundant and moves on to the next team.
