Insane AWD Body Swap: Honda Cr-V Meets El Camino!

[@nofinancehere4058]

Please keep those wheels shave the caliper down alittle to get the clearance 🙏🙏🙏🙏 those wheels look so good on the mino

[@stevewhite9522]

Agreed, those wheels look great! Very American muscle. Maybe flare out the fenders a bit and fix that camber on the ass end?

[@stevelozano9523]

I would also keep them, but maybe with narrower up front with beefy in rears.

[@jack002tuber]

Yeah, make them work if you can. Love that look

[@eloy2926]

Make a table with the hood

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

Bruh,man could run a few millimeter of a spacer on the front and just roll the guards a little in the rear

Welcome to BodeVision the only channel on KZbin where there's always room for more head and busting out holes on the side of a bed.

[@jack002tuber]

I like that fuel filler door, nice work installing it. And the wheels are cool ,but don't seem to fit the car well. This has been a cool build to see. I rang the bell so I don't miss any of these

[@larryhall6416]

There's always a but somewhere in the comments . I can't wait for the color before i make judgement on the tires

[@willscott85]

I put some late model jeep cherokee wheels on my modified crv and had too shave down the calipers a touch. Worked really well.

That gas cap is just so smooth. It’s ridiculous.👏🏿👍🏿

[@GoldenEraHondaProduceGarage]

If you do keep the set of five Wheels.... You should get the spare tire holder off the back of the original CRV tailgate.... Either graph that into the El Camino or mount it into the bed flat mounted so you have a little original CRv touch in the El Camino bed

[@fast97z24]

The spare tire well is already there. He covered it up with the bed. I feel like a hinge of some type for the bed section above it for access to a spare tire would be cool

[@GoldenEraHondaProduceGarage]

No bro you're wrong, on an rd1 CRV the spare tire is mounted on the swing out trunk gate... It's four bolts that go through the tailgate and it extends off of the tailgate to hold the spare tire... You can drill out those four bolts and I thought it would be sick for him to mount that five lug spare tire holder in the bed kind of like the Baja trucks do with their spare tires

[@fast97z24]

@@GoldenEraHondaProduceGarage im telling you it's there. I have watched every video. The stock crv spare tire well in directly underneath the el camino rear bed floor.

[@GoldenEraHondaProduceGarage]

@@fast97z24 bro I own three 5 speed manual all-wheel drive CRVs... I know there's a spare tire well in the back it's under a factory Honda CRV table... But you're not listening to the comment the spare tire is actually mounted tailgate Honda never put a spare tire on the inside... It's actually a waterproof tub and if you watch the JDM marketing videos put out by Honda they actually tell you you can put a bag of ice and a case of drinks in there and it's waterproof it won't leak... I know there's a spare tire well but again you're not listening or reading my comments on a Honda CRV 95 to 01 rd1 the spare tire is bolted to the tailgate and that particular spare tire bracket can be removed.... Just Google a pic of a stock CRV and look at the backside...shesssh my guy

[@frankbradleyjr]

So awesome to see your daughter helping you. Its cool that she's showing a interest in what you do. Love the build

[@richcaseaxon]

Fully agree Adam, everyone loves head...room. Enjoying the build, thanks for the continued videos.

There's no way that my father's brother's only nephew could come close to doing a build as ambitious as your 'Hondamino'. 👍👍

[@jonathonburke7009]

The scream at 8:01 got me 😂😂😂

[@buddylee19082]

Brody! Them old American Racing Equipment wheels are SO PERFECT for this build!!! As soon as you put the first test wheel on you could see they were gonna nail the "look" of this build! Great choice man.

[@ryancurnock3951]

I love that filler cap. Looks amazing

[@seanthompson6720]

I love this project and I'm sure you already picked a color, but gloss black will really show your skills as a body and paint guy and the chrome accents will always look good on black.

[@Bert114]

Great progress brother. Trust the process and the outcome is always good

[@nathanhall4415]

I kid like the wheel/tire combo. Gives it the late 80s or early 90s vibe imo

[@VipersCave1]

Love your intro brother 😅 And I really like your content. The skills you bring to the table amazes me time and time again. 💯❤👍 From Norway

[@BodeVision]

I appreciate that!

[@Joshuamorris81]

Wheels look great 👍 also nice choice with the gas tank filler door

[@Wagz103]

Wheels look great! Add a little height in the rear & roll the fender lip to help eliminate camber. As far as the fronts, that is almost no contact. Shave a little off the caliper bracket & call it a day!

[@tonyestvik7969]

Keep the wheels! Looking good, fits the style! Good job!

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

Awesome amount of progress !! And these wheels... they look great, it's the look that fits. Hopefully you can find something similar to replace these. Great job, man!!

[@martinm4961]

Yeah, those are the wheels for this build. Maybe a slightly smaller tire wall, but if you're going for that sleeper look, these wheels and maybe a cover for the bed. Gonna be slick when it's done.

[@iwikeu]

Those wheels go hard especially if you paint the inners to match the body color and then shine up the chrome beauty rings.

[@v4yt126]

superb quality content

[@johncarella1836]

Definitely looking good! I can’t wait to see this thing painted with a turbo Ripping burnouts!!! Great Job Bud!

The wheels are dope asf

[@KevRalph]

First time watching your channel, I will definitely be back. The only channels I really know that does bodies swaps are Casey's customs & Tom's refurbs.. But as soon as I'm done typing this I will be subscribing to your channel as well.

[@mechanicundercontract7752]

Shave the caliper a few millimeters…had to do the same to run prelude, tsx, accord, and tl wheels on my CRV. Remember Mustang wheels work also…nothing too big as axles will disintegrate. New paint? Roll the lips all the way around and no rubbing…love the camber on bigger tires flush with the rear quarter…one Kickass ride!!

[@fast97z24]

I can't believe those wheels had the same bolt pattern as the CRV. 😂

[@trunk8d]

You need 90's triangles _wheels that is. love the seats.

[@562frankrivers2]

I’m not feeling the wheels as a JDM enthusiast…but keep up the great work man lovin the build

[@Kapil-Patel]

(Hayashi's / RS Watanabe maybe ?) Amazing progress man !! Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

[@chinky1269]

Looks good!

[@alanq64]

Definitely need a 16 or larger dia for the wheels. You can always roll the fender lip to give more space also.

[@thestreets5206]

The wheel look good , just to much wall . Perhaps a thinner profile tyre but that's spending unnecessary money . Love the fuel filler cap 👌👌👍👍👍

[@WaRn00b85]

Coming along nicely bro. Just not so keen on the rear wheel arches in the cargo bed area, but I reckon some form of Tonneau Cover or similar would make the rear end look clean. Keep up the hard work man!

[@Yuyuz_deecifai]

The best out there

[@michaelg97]

You should look into doing a layer of MLV under the carpet as well, it will really kill a ton of noise

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

What was cooler the relocation of the filler or the free seat mod? Your Killin' it, The wheels need to go! Maybe 17s with your own custom paint work on them? to match our color scheme

[@firebomb13b]

I would go with a JDM style wheel, mainly due to fitment. Something like a set of Wantanabe wheels would look good on it and keep with the vintage.

[@robertdawdy2041]

Absolutely awesome build. Be mindful of the g body squat at hard launch... that's how they used to get all the traction at the strip.

[@BodeVision]

With this one being awd it should be decent

[@robertdawdy2041]

​@@BodeVisionfor sure. I've driven 3 g bodies and 2 different 1st gen crv's. Both squatted hard at launch. If angles on rear half shafts become too extreme, it would shake bad. With weight transfer and AWD, that thing will be great.

[@MrDannyd9]

Why do the seats look better than the original CR-V?! Good job.

[@Tyler97GSX]

I really like those wheels on the el Camino body. If you could mill down the mounting face of the front wheel to suck it in a bit and clearance the caliper that would be a great option. As it sits not the right fit.

[@jamesroy4584]

Grind the calipers tire and wheels look mint brotha

[@blakeerdmann]

Look into a set of like 91 civic si seats. Not super new looking, but still great support.

[@Mquin02]

Some old school Watanabes are the same style as those wheels with a few more spokes. Those might look good.

I was really hoping for the jdm wheel agressive fitment super low stance boi build ...there is still hope lol ..but badass man i love it either way

[@Baysidebangerz]

Bro ..I bought some seats off marketplace this weekend they looked awesome but smelled my wifes car up on the way home ..went out to the garage the next day to mount them and there was a roach chillin on one ...straight to the dumpster 😂

[@Trump_Won_AGAIN]

so glad roaches don't exist where i live ... too cold

[@Trump_Won_AGAIN]

we also don't have poisonous snakes (or really any except for garden snakes) poisonous spiders, hurricanes tornadoes earthquakes, high crime , expensive homes any highways , much homelessness, basically the only downfall is it's a little boring (but i'm old so who cares ) and it gets cold for a few months in the winter and we get snow , but you just buy a snowmobile and dress warm and go have FUN!

[@brentthomas712]

Taught me something with the welded drop seat. 😮 always a lot you learn watching Bodevision. Sucks about the wheels though 😢

[@1993kawasaki]

LOL at the Market place intro!!!!!

[@nocoasthero1204]

You should just grind the caliper down to clear. You can also pull the fenders, I think it would look rad/kinda wide body

[@StaredownGames]

We know Cheapo Depot Seat so neat though!

[@Thinginator]

I say keep the awesome AR rims but space them out a little and install fender flares for clearance.

[@gt1man931]

The wheel are a great style. But to get everything in the right place, looks like a lot of work. Spacers are kind of hoopty, and it looks like some surgery on the wheel wells to make it look okay and not some kind of slammer ugly. Fuel filler door was trick AF. That kind of detail is what makes a car build come across as pro.

[@polatroyed8677]

Camber is all good!

[@2STATIC_4LYFE]

Yo the entry did it for me 😂😂😂😂 ⏪ it like 5x

[@dominicbustamante730]

The wheels look so good on that car. It is too bad it doesn't really clear the brakes. Maybe you could grind the calipers just a hair so it clears.

[@mattewiegand9896]

If we're throwing a poll up, JDM wheels would be rad.

[@jaxsgarage]

Keep the wheels g. Shave the bracket a bit and maybe raise the back up a tad and a rear camber kit so front and back have the same fitment. 🤙

[@01FozzyS]

You should have put Lola to work too,Adam. lol Hope you can figure out those AR wheels to fit though. They look just right on an ElCam body. Or else like you said, go JDM.

Rally’s would look good on it.

Looking good

[@ericcouture96]

A set of wantanabe's would probably fit the overall look while keeping the jdm style to the chassis??

[@khass110]

Not trying to poo-poo the gas door... I've used that Hagan cap on dozens of projects over the years (I've never used their full filler door kit like you're using, as I was always doing something where those didn't quite work... but I really like the cap for the very reason you used it here). Having said that, the cap WILL NOT pass emissions testing in any of the 16 states that do testing. If the car ends up living in a 'scrutinizing' region, it will need a traditional cap to pass. Also, in case the CR-V starts throwing emissions/fuel system related codes, it may be the cap's trap door opening slightly as the tank vacuum goes up. Keep on welding.

[@willmatic84]

Damn man it sucks that the wheels didn't work but if you can get something that looks like these but in a Japanese fit mint 👌 cuz these wheels match the mino perfect #bodesqaud #projectcrmino

[@LJenkinsEsqIII]

Some spoon sw/rega Evo copies would be dope

[@taylorbosse5684]

I like the look of those wheels. Yes its a little off, but its just off enough for people who know anything about cars to say "wait a minute, whats up with that thing thats not normal"

[@Gedden]

Those og wheels aren't too bad. It's an interesting problem.

[@Phil-b3z]

Check your offset/ back space on the crv wheels before looking for another set of wheels if you're not going with those ones

[@dominicbustamante1600]

That would look good on a set of te37v. Or works emmotions type 3. Or ssr mk2, or 3. Or panasports or watanabe rs8.

[@bigmikepimp2003]

That's the perfect wheel for an elco... do some fender work on it widen it

[@fast97z24]

Why not make the rear floor of the bed on a hinge so you can have access to the CRV spare tire well?

[@TimotoRacing]

A little wider fenders would solve the problem and look damn good.

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

Hey Adam...Not sure if you knew this already or not BUT Honda lugnuts are special because they use a "Ball Seat" style lugnut vs. an Acorn Seat style lugnut....Do Not use Honda OEM Lugnuts on Aftermarket wheels!...they will not sit properly, will be dangerous to ride on.
