Would definitely like to see more of this after Leroy is done. Don't just let the channel die off now that Cleetus' work is complete.

[@Shakeysmoker1]

Agreed. Imagine getting to see freaking Gravedigger, El Toro all the trucks we(maybe just I lol) grew up with.

Can't wait to see it on Leroy, unbelievable amount of work that appears to go into making this!

Cleetus always Inspires me....Thank you Guys for Actually Building this!!! Leroy will Perform way better now!!

[@jasonhovey815]

You guys did an amazing job on this body

[@StarrCreations]

Thank you

[@JelliedInfant]

Finding the balance between a fun place to work and out of control is not an easy task. It looks like you have found the balance based on the final product. Well done!

[@--_DJ_--]

The boys are definitely hamming it up for the camera too.

[@alexnorman9630]

My thoughts exactly! But you know for SURE them boys are having more fun off camera without the pressure of 100ks of people watching

[@AIM54A]

PVA, Gel coat, Mold release wax, fiber glass.. Great to see things haven't changed in 30 years. Great job on the molds.

[@wobblysauce]

Stuff works.

[@JamesTK]

Same pretty much for carbon work. Just laying carbon fiber instead of glass

[@bradley3549]

Beautiful. Now the next obvious question is... Carbon Fiber when?!?!?

[@chookchook5600]

Vacuum bagged. Now were talking....lol

[@bradley3549]

@@chookchook5600 Almost looked hot enough in that booth that they could use pre-preg and just shut the door to autoclave it!

Carbon fibre weighs more surely?

[@burgboy2459]

@@SAMWHO1Not typically it doesn’t.

[@SAMWHO1]

Apparently not, carbon fibre can be 15% lighter, madness!

It’s so cool to learn about a process that I have zero knowledge of, explained by a pro that is good at explaining. Good stuff ✊🏾

[@tomlanore4283]

Even if Leroy doesn't go as fast as predicted with the new body. Damn he is going to look awesome doing it. You guy's killed it.

[@TheXrossfade]

Leroy should roll out with the body, I think cleet said Leroy is using like 400-600 horses to just move through the air

[@floydthemechanic]

Everytime I see that thing it gets better lookin....I swear that is one of the most beautiful, badass, car bodies I've ever seen. It will be one of the best looking cars ever built.....period. great job and great work guys

[@chrisvise9374]

I've worked blue collar jobs all my life in shipyards and steel mills as an industrial electrician. The comradery and general guy shenanigans that go on while building awesome stuff is probably the single best part of this kind of work. You guys have an awesome team that seems like it does daily "team building exercises" that office nerds could only dream of 😂😂.

I will never look at a fibreglass body the same. Thanks for process videos 😎 from Westcoast 🇨🇦☮️.

What an amazing video the step-by-step process was badass I tip my hat to Star Creations in the whole crew you guys rock I can't wait to see Leroy going down the track with the new body hell yeah brother

Insane process…have done ‘glass repair and body work for a couple decades, but this gives me a great appreciation for what happens at the beginning…

[@dwaynesullivan-qo2iz]

You guys do some awesome work. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@usefulemptiness2410]

Nice! You know Cleetus will ask if that mold will be good for a carbon fiber Leroy, so you can just as well make one already!

[@adriane7841]

Farbon Ciber all the things

[@buiItnotbought]

Carbon the world

[@TheJomoe1]

🤣🤣🤣 sure cus he wudnt have them do it already if they were capable of it. carbon is similar to fiberglass but its not the same. especially not spray chopped fiberglass. they would need a huge autoclave. idk if they have it but i suspect we would have seen it before now if they did.

[@gregoryh4601]

Should look At Carbon/Kevlar Fabric with the Kevlar Fabric color Blue

[@testarossagzb5582]

I mean, it's not the biggest leap in the world for a shop like this, especially if this opens up a new door for them to make racecar parts. It might be worth the investment and an oven would be a lot cheaper than an autoclave and would do the job just as well with a bit more work ​@@TheJomoe1

[@nickmendez5546]

Not only do you guys do great work, but it seems like you all are able to have fun at the same time.

[@bwalker4194]

Great behind-the-scenes look at the effort needed to create custom fiberglass parts!

[@Rebar77_real]

Now the flange pieces make sense compared to, "Here we are in the booth upside down and inside out, lets spray!" 😎 Millions in the minutiae!

[@AZBADBOYz]

Gonna be interesting seeing what old Leroy can do with a full eagle body.

[@Dan_the_Great_]

Leroy and eagle

[@nu2this_stuff]

She gonna soar!!

[@naufalkusumah2192]

could pick up 10-12 mph on the big end

Such a metric butt ton of freakin work!!! I love it.

[@H3110NU]

Is this the same amount of effort for all the monster truck bodies? Like huge amount of time up front to build Molds and then you can pump out the bodies fairly quickly afterwards…

[@gavincline209]

Plug wise 90% yes. Mold body wise…probably less. Monster truck body’s need to be basic level strength and not so refined. They can be more bumpy so to speak, not for aerodynamic use and there guaranteed to be destroyed quickly lol no point in making it perfect just to be destroyed in possibly 7 days time frame and have to get another 1 layed up.

[@moparman0314]

New subscriber here but I’ve been watching this build. You guys do incredible work and it’s cool to see the process and effort it takes to do what the guys do. I’ve definitely been learning some things I didn’t know I wanted to learn, lol. Great job fellas.

I’m very impressed with what you guys do and glad cleetus introduced you guys to the channel! Can’t wait to see it set in cleetus for the first time!

[@lowerdfool]

Are these bodies vacuum bagged at all? Seems like a significant weight to strength advantage could be added by pulling out extra resin from the body. Looks beautiful, nice job!

[@joeymerrell8585]

Cleet is about to have a busy end of the year. Leeroy is going to need a lot of testing and dealing in, and eagle will be rolling in October sometime. Going to be exciting

[@TheRetiredBullhandAK989]

So probably a dumb question, but why the primer on this mold? Does it hold the foam together along with the screws? Or? Just curious! I know nothing about what yall do, butnit sure is interesting and cool to see! Glad yall are posting cleetus’ stuff! Get to watch how it’s all done by professionals!

[@sedg666]

Been following the whole time and I just can't get excited about this. The go kart look is one of the best things about Leroy. The only upside is that Leroy should be faster other that that I don't like the look of the front, the back, or the sides. But not my car so let's hope it looks good in the end.

[@ACatKrom]

You guys know a lot more about this than I do, but it seems like you'd want to put the mold, on the plug and build a steel frame around it to make sure it doesn't change shape

[@AaronLatimer]

Now that the mold is complete.... couldn't you make it out of carbon fiber now? 👀

[@TheJomoe1]

doubt they are skilled enough to risk that.

[@philsheridan6759]

It could be structural carbon. But most times carbon is built in vacuum mold and resin sucked in. So bit different work need to go into mold work with vacuum.

[@grady92]

Yeah they should be able to

[@AaronLatimer]

@@philsheridan6759 Wouldnt it lay the same way though? And then wrapped in layers for the vacuum process? Thatd be a massive unit lol

[@Jay-og7ld]

I have to admit I was confused on the process, is that the body or the mold? but man it did turn out better than I thought it would. I thought it was going to be bigger, toy like and not as tight and aerodynamic. Leroy is going to be kicking! I think it's safe to say you'd better start making another body right now. 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
