HEADING To LS Fest With My UNTESTED 67 Camaro *After I Fix The TRAILER*

I bought a 67 Camaro RS for only $6,500 and we LS swapped it to take to LS Fest East 2020. J&J Auto Wrecking pulled an LS2 out of a SAAB 9-7 Aero, and it's managed by a Holley Terminator X. We rebuilt the original Powerglide transmission, and installed a Posi-Trac differential to send power to both wheels. It hasn't been tested, tuned, or even driven so we're just gonna send it!

The moving blanket interior looks fantastic.

Josh came up with that... I wasn't expecting it to be amazing 🔥

[@snowyowl7042]

Was that an original option?

[@terrylessmann2274]

5am and JR's firing up the race car. I bet the neighbors loved it or are they 'Meh, it's just Josh & JR'? All this time JR's been obsessing about windshield wipers and I'm thinking why bother? Guess JR can predict weather wks in advance. I use a trick knee, but that's only for hrs in advance, not days. I bow to the expert.

Jon Ross is so chill around crunch time

When you walked out of o’reilley’s that last time, I guess you already had the black ice tree air freshener. 😁

[@sentranizzy]

Anyone notice the OCD at 3:00 with the gas cap 😳 I felt that lmao

[@FirstNameLastName-ev3jk]

No, but I had to go back and watch it. I have to line up my air vents. It’s not a good use of life.

[@Sebastian_Dinwiddie]

So proud of the expensive fancy hitch, then eyeballs the cars position 😉

[@BIsForBudget]

I love this series! I have my dads old 1968 Firebird in the garage. It's in similar condition. One day, when I have the time and resources, I plan on doing the same!

[@garys9694]

In '68 I got home from Nam and bought a bright red '68 Firebird HO 350 with Muncie 4 speed Hurst shifter. Loved it and drove it up until about 1988. Sold it for a grand, worst thing I could have done, damn I wish I still had that car, and hell, I'm 77 years old. It was still in really nice shape, no rust , ran like a bear.

[@BIsForBudget]

@@garys9694 I actually got the chills reading your comment. My father also bought the Firebird after serving and returning from Vietnam! Blue 350 with a 2 barrel carb. I have fond memories riding in it as a kid. (waiting in line at the gas station during the gas crisis)

[@garys9694]

@@BIsForBudget Bought mine from my combat pay. My wife & I used to go street racing with it. The family that races together stays together, and we did. The gas crunch did hurt, I did all kinds of stuff to get gas to go to and from work.

I know right? lol....Priorities haha (But I bet they were mandatory with some of the sponsored parts supplied for the build).

Hell yeah! Can't wait to see it really finished in a few (insert months, weeks, years)!

This is my first project of yours that i've watched from start to finish with the release of videos. You do awesome work JR! I'm sorry I caught the wave so late. One of these days i'll take some time off of work to meet your car in the making

[@TheRealBleach]

Your neighbours were pissed 100% 😂

[@gregorycasterline6060]

I’ve been checking my feed the last 2 days for your update. So cool got the cheapest original Camaro in the USA.

[@andrewhillman9632]

Josh has some awesome neighbors, LS firing up at 5am........no problem.

[@dellstudio10]

Bought a few of those moving blankets myself while they we're on sale. They work great to lie down on while working on the ground or under the car. They also do a good job at soaking up large oil spill's when you accidentally tip the drain pan over.

[@One_Bar]

Honestly I don’t care about much else besides getting the headlight covers working 😂 As many Camaros as I’ve seen and been around, I never actually knew how they worked and have never seen a set that did. It’s baffling but awesome.

[@WatchJRGo]

I’ll upgrade to the new motors 💯

[@unstablebobgable]

If I could go to the LS Fest with Watch JR Goes I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.

[@carlmcrobcustomgoldsmith11]

Car looks awesome as is...Don’t go changing. Those taillights in the early morning...stoked to see it driving. I understand the tight schedule...can’t help feeling we missed a lot of the actual build. I hope this event helps build your channel. Don’t forget we are here to hang out in the garage...watch the ups and the downs of car repairs, upgrades, and builds.

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

Hello John Ross you know most balls know what the tongue weight is. I can't believe you had to make your own vinyl for your wheels you think as much as they cost they would send you any size sticker you wanted??? I am telling you I am glad that factory fuel pumps are not that loud. Oh, that would definitely make me lose my mind. Good luck at LS Fest man I hope you do a great burn out for us all I'm sure it will you're running a featherweight there. Stay safe stay well and as always God bless

[@gregisdivorced]

You should of got two tarps that one will shread for sure. I’m sure HF has a store in KY. BTW that hitch & straps are badass got to pick up those two myself. Have a safe trip and don’t forget to say Hi 👋 to Garrett (Cleetus) for me. I really would love to race my Code 3 Charger at the FF.

[@muskokamike127]

speaking of shredding tarps. There's a company up here in Canuckistan called Lee Valley (Kind of like Garrett Wade) and they have they cinch clips for tarping. What they do is allow you to clip onto a tarp anywhere, you're not stuck where the eyelets are.

[@waltervasconcelos3441]

Great work Dude!! You made it happen!

[@matthewroot3939]

Judging by the decals and the constant mention of o'reilly's that everything was comp/ free. Otherwise why the rush and putting them on a car you will later remove from the frame and redo/ paint. Living the dream.

[@caseymiklosh5537]

I have the same hitch for my Silverado 2500hd. Make sure and use some lube on the inside of the hitch pin lock. It will get junk in it and lock up. Then you will have to put the key in and turn it with pliers. Ask me how I know. So every so often spray the inside of the lock to keep it in good shape.

[@Bicketybam68]

You need to custom design and build your own trailer. The WatchJRGo trailer. Anyway, as always, cheers for such great content mate.

[@d4ve587]

Jr has a two inch ball and strap on's..... Oh the single life 😭joy 😂

[@TheKiltedYaksman1]

I'm a firm believer in a person building their car the way they want, but I still don't get using an LS in anything but a drag car or a numbers-matching resto. Especially not backing something like a computer controlled LS... Anyway, looking great!

I'll be at home rooting for you, 4.8 miles away, would love to say hey but just not possible, highly recommend Smokey pig BBQ and is close to beech bend (just take a left at the road coming out of beech bend it'll be the first traffic light then the very next traffic light on the right before you get to Corvette, is smoky pig and it is in the caddy corner If you like barbecue it's the best in town) be safe bro!

Fill your def tank at the truck stop at the pump at the pump is the freshest def and keep it topped off dont let it run low when you do this it dry and crystallizes the float for your def will stick to the bottom of the tank 🤙🤟👍🤝🙏 peace

[@greathornedowl3644]

WOW, great project, but doesn't seem nearly ready. Keep up the good work, on your way to Kentucky (land of Lincoln's birth 1809) you could stop at a couple interesting places, Duncan Imports & Classics (pickup and Nissan Skyline GTR) - Nashville TN, and Midwest Military (pickup an M923A1) - Washington, MO. and the George Patton Museum (King Tiger Tank) - Fort Knox KY

[@ImTheJoker4u]

Pro tip: Tire Slime those trailer tires, BEFORE you get a flat, and you'll never have a problem again 😉👍 Trailer tires are prone to flats because the tow vehicle kicks up debris, which end up in the trailer tires. They also take more abuse from curbing, and get into more debris on the inside of corners, and the road shoulder.

[@susanjspaulding]

*WOW* !! *It BREATHES* !! *Glad to see the Camaro will start* !! #WatchJRGo

[@Uathankicks]

Pops has those ratchet straps for our track weekends. Don’t think we got the pro premium pack though 🤣

[@joedingman4181]

No repeats of the Rolls Royce we all want to see some LS burn outs Jr....

[@poopsmcgee2k6]

I would be pretty embarrassed to show up to LS Fest with a half built car but you do you bro.

[@SteeringWheelHolder1]

You gotta retain the factory AC when you properly restomod this thing!!

[@CarswithNash]

I’m highly disappointed there was no test burn out in the church parking lot before loading it on the trailer.😉

[@WatchJRGo]

That’s the key to braking it 😂

[@charleshenshaw9099]

That means nothing.... The Rolls could have easily pulled out of the garage and onto the trailer. It was the burnout that did it in. 🤣

[@GGarduchi]

[@brandonsanders9674]

I’m impressed that they got this car together so quickly!!!☀️😎👌🏻

[@tkskagen]

Good Luck!

[@TimoLahti]

Do you know what that looked like when you fueled Diesel from the green pistol to your truck? I was.. OH NO!! since in here, green pistols hold gasoline and black ones hold Diesel. Blue ones hold AdBlue additive for new Diesels.. and we all know what gasoline does to Diesel engine..

[@dellstudio10]

In GA it's madness. Always gotta check the pump first before filling. Any color can be any fuel. I learned that hard way when I filled my car up with diesel after a long night with no sleep. Green was diesel that time but I've also seen diesel be black and yellow as well here. Luckily the gas stations have been more consistent and green is diesel more times than not lately.

[@sh1pp]

Neighbors must be loving the 5am engine rumble outside!

[@TheRoadGlideRider]

Hitch information was great!

[@69Dartman]

I use old wool army blankets to protect my seats, and protect me from my seats depending on the car I'm driving. They're strong, easy to find, and cheap or free. My Dart was mostly down to springs so protected my clothes, my 95 Neon the seats used to be ok so it protected them, and my new to me charger has leather seats and I'll need some actual covers.

[@DJStrikeItUp]

That has got to be the loudest fuel pump ever!

[@LeserOne]

Safe travels man

[@trueadrn]

Intros FTW!!

[@JennMikkyD]

So uhhh from experience, definitely take that hitch off whenever you aren't using it. I left mine on through the winter (I did use it fairly often) and my locking pins completely seized and I couldn't get them off... Somehow the pin holding the ball onto the hitch got rusty and it actually snapped in half (thankfully I wasn't towing anything)

[@weighsafe]

Hey Jen, those dust lock covers do a pretty good job at keep debris out so that your lock functions properly, however if it does seize up, we will cover that under warranty and get you new locks! We do recommend keeping your hitch clean and maintained to ensure the best functionality and performance!

[@enjoylife7030]

Holy sponsorships JR. They are just rolling in. Did I miss the exhaust being installed? Have a blast at LS Fest.

[@panteleon1]

[@blaakrose]

When you are in Bowling Green, visit the Corvette Museum. 350 Corvette Dr, Bowling Green, KY 42101 The Corvette assembly plant is just up the road. If you are short on time, please at least drive by and film the outside. Have a safe trip to Kentucky.

[@andy-in-indy]

I love the sound of the car! I think it's funny that everything heading there has a temp tag except the trailer. It would be fun to go down to Bowling Green to see this in real life (It's not too far from Indianapolis) but I have a work thing Saturday afternoon (The high school Football team at Lawrence North has a car show from 2-5:30 and our company is one of the team sponsors).
