I STOLE Parts Off My ROLLS ROYCE To FINISH My 67 Camaro

I bought a 67 Camaro RS for only $6,500 and I'm taking it to LS Fest East in only 5 days. We've got the rebuilt Powerglide transmission and the LS2 from J&J Auto Wrecking in and now the former SAAB engine is getting the complete Holley Terminator EFI treatment. The new windshield is installed thanks to my friends at Blue Collar Collision and Glass. All that's left is tying up odds and ends then we can turn the key.

Imagine how quickly you could build a car if you used both hands :)

[@dazasc3994]

spray the micro switches for the headlights with contact cleaner, i bet that improves them

[@yourgay3226]

Indeed, have fixed window switches in an old jag spraying with just wd40

[@dazasc3994]

@@yourgay3226 wd40 is no good, it eats the carbon contacts over time and will destroy the switch, Deoxit or servisol is actual contact cleaner which wont eat the contacts

[@robsimpson9784]

As a wire man myself (Avionics tech), it’s nice to see an automotive guy that takes the time to properly wire up things rather than hack up the harness.

[@richotero7192]

JR never throws duck tape on anything he fixes.

[@ajw828]

Nice work!! So excited the rear for the Rolls finally made it there.

[@theANGRIERone]

8:05 something looks different. Got it - haircut. Lol

[@pppaybackkk]

I had to rewatch a bit when I noticed too.

[@ElliottAlvis]

I really wish the Amazon scammers wouldn’t have hung up. That would’ve been great lol.

[@canigetahit]

Check out Jim Browning or Kitboga if you want to listen to some really good scam baiting.

[@hthtomcat3]

Rocknroll.so good to see this 67 come back to a new life.great segmentation of updates nice to watch and learn.

[@fbtippmann]

You're getting so good wrenching with one hand!

Incredible, nice catch

Amazing!

[@sylvainleseur1072]

So many interesting vidéos... Great job. Thanks a lot Sy

[@Cargeek88]

Very beautiful car i hope you put some love in with thr paint and underneath it as well .

[@TroubleBKC]

I kinda like that JR posts super late. Its like when the Aussie tubers upload but its great for night owls here in the states.

[@vaggelisdogas]

In my country (across the pond) is super early,like 5-6 am which on the other hand is super convenient because i can watch him before work

[@ImTheJoker4u]

I've seen a lot of hot rods and restomods (and cars with systems) with bad grounds. Its one of the most overlooked things during a build. Glad to see you doing it right. Big 3 ground upgrade: Batt - to frame (if applicable) Batt - to block Batt - to body

[@JakeQ1981]

LOL! The sleeper 3rd gen Sentra shirt is rad! That is exactly how I wanted to mod my XE Coupe, SR20DET out of a JDM front cut, Tsuru front end with the projectors, SE-R trunk lid with the deck lid spoiler and extra SE-R center reflectors and SE-R side skirts. Adjustable suspension, eight spoke Watenabi's topped of with BFG KDWs.

[@robsimpson9784]

Can’t wait to see this thing running! 😎

[@berkeleyislandmarine3881]

Gettting old watching JR rush thru a build only to fail will his driveway be able to fit another LS swapped failed project. LOL! Woul have rather scene a proper build done to this car.

[@robertelee6712]

When doing a LS swap, it's IMO to get the car running the way you want it first, then tear it apart and fix the cosmetics. I put mine together first and decided along the way to put twin turbos on it, I had to prefab everything to make it work, had I painted all the engine bay, it would have been scratched and had holes in it. Jr. Works on a budget just like most people so that could also be a factor.

[@StephenCole1916]

Hmm, something is fishy with your R8. Three months seems to be a very long time for a tuning. (I'm no expert just a thought) Maybe a surprise inspection is in order, just show up at the shop and ask to see the car.

[@vincentdyer8018]

I understand probably 8% of what John says and it’s still the most interesting KZbin channel I watch

[@bearing_aficionado]

Thanks for the R8 update, JR!!!👍

[@KMopar07]

for the clip on wiper GM was doing this until late 90's. Caprice/Impala SS are like that. GMT400(C15/K15 and all up) until 99 in the 2500/3500 truck.

[@ehsan74827]

I hope your channel blows up soon. You deserve so much more subs

[@69Dartman]

Glad the rat rod is coming together enough to go have some fun soon and you can always swap whatever you snagged back to the Rolls as you get the parts you're waiting on.

[@ultramagnushurts]

Hes not keeping it a rat rod forever. He said after LS fest he's gonna do a somewhat cheap/moderate resto

[@69Dartman]

@@ultramagnushurts Yeah, I know but for now it's a rat rod which is fine. When it's finished it's going to be a great looking car. Right now it's a fun car with a great engine.

[@donalddolan7709]

I'm REALLY looking forward to the frame off restore videos on this car. I have always wanted to do a resto-mod on a car like this. Not gonna happen for me so I have to live vicariously through you!

[@dazasc3994]

its nowhere near as easy as it looks in the videos believe me

[@gwick358]

Hahaha. I bought a 67 Camaro in 82 for $500. Wish I still had that car. I have the same serpentine belt tool. Love gear wrench tools. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@sejembalm]

In the mid '80s, I bought a series of $500 cars. Bought a 1953 Cadillac in 1985 (leaf springs suddenly shattered on the rear left wheel, punched a hole in the gas tank, severed the brake line, sold the car to a mechanic). Then I bought a 1974 Cadillac ambulance for an RV in 1988 (got stolen), then a 1973 VW Thing in 1989 (got stolen), then a 1975 VW Beetle (got stolen). I was so sick of my cars getting stolen (I lived in a slum in San Jose, California, with thieves and villains for neighbors), I gave up on cars and rode my Dad's 1970 Schwinn Suburban bicycle around town until that got stolen (1/4" thick chain cut with big bolt cutters) and I moved on in 1993 to Honda 250 and 750cc motorcycles of the late '70s. I would have loved to have a 1967 Camaro in the mid-80s, but the thieves would have just stolen it.

[@TJsVette]

Its over 9000!! Nice DragonBall reference haha

Welcome to the one handed mechanic's show.

[@hansonschmid9548]

Hell yeah JR! Couldn’t be more happy for y’all and your fleet of amazing rides!

How can I not be jealous of someone that can get more done with one hand than I can with two (or four if I had them). Thanks JRGo! 🤦‍♂️

[@charlieb308]

I wanted to LS swap my car but after watching this series hell no.

[@bowlonoodle]

Won't be able to do ls fest this year, hopefully next year though!

[@raymondcaylor6292]

I stopped, rewound, and watched more times than any other WatchJRGo video. And still was lost. Let's watch it again.

[@victorthecarguy3126]

Another great episode. For anyone else out there needing a throttle pedal for a cable it looks like the pedal for a straight six from the first gen camaro or 68-74 straight six nova. I thought they used vacuum for RS's in 67 then electric motors for 68 and 69 oh well guess I was backwards mine is isn't a RS. When you get to the brakes is you go power you might want to consider a hydroboost it would leave a lot of clearance and engine vacuum wouldn't matter.

[@CJLeTeff]

I can’t believe WatchJRGo doesn’t have over 1 million subs, he’s the best auto channel out there!

[@GlycerinZ]

6:46 the car on his shirt reminds me of my first car, '88 Mazda MX-6

[@ebodaman]

I enjoy the cheap car flips rather than these involved builds

[@duanefrancis9769]

Go For A Ride? Agreed. I like that he says “cheap $6500 Camaro is looking like a $20k car” - after spending $25k in parts.

[@0650asanders]

His channel used to be only cheap flips but he got in trouble for dealing without a license. Maybe he should just get a dealers license 🤔 I mean I'd buy a car from JR!

[@MikeG_9]

BOOM‼️ 💥

[@chrisclemons5246]

Hi Jon, Please keep the trunk lid un drilled. If you must run a spoiler buy a repop to modify, I think they sell them pre drilled Keep the nice original lid for later or for me to buy...lol I have a buddy who can bring it back from the LS fest.

[@tima6549]

And to think if you built the original 327 there wouldn't be any wiring hassles, bolt on a carb make a few adjustments and done. Would have been done days ago and for less money.

[@bumpcity9794]

You should drive it to LS Fest.That would be awesome, and make a video of the journey.

[@keitht7546]

That motor is going to shake all the Rust off the car lol. Poor RR it’s loosing it’s parts but for a good cause. Great video

[@charlesscott6154]

Big fan hope to meet you at ls fest in bowling green!

Dope man you still find time to get your sides trimmed up keeping it clean and you change the shirt to stay fresh

8:05 BAM! Haircut! 😂

[@geraldbennett7035]

I like how you just make use of a chair to work on an assembly.

[@diannerumoro9618]

Make sure you have ground straps from body to frame , and engine to fire wall . Or risk melting your wiring. Ask me how I know.

[@anthonyunderwood6122]

I know how you it sucks

You should totally add a sticker of the Kool Aid Guy on the door. I remember in your Kia video you did a Kool Aid guy impersonation lol

[@dailyfilmfix469]

Love the channel and content!! The Camaro is coming along great considering the time crunch you guys are under.. I didn't even know you had a Rolls.. I'd love to have a Rolls but my budget is tight, so it'll have to be Swiss by Little Debbie..

[@davidbragg30]

When are we starting this LS? Been expecting to from the last couple of video's. Really enjoying the content and JR's delivery is always good.

I was thinking something bad happened and you had to send the R8 out to get finished. Its been so long. I don't even remember ever seeing it move under its own power.

[@super_populr]

Jake's Volvo 850 R shirt is epic!

[@muskokamike127]

I'm looking forward to the frame off restoration.....considering the camaro is a unibody vehicle. Lot's of cutting to get that body off the (non-existent) frame!

[@texan01]

It sort of has a frame, but 6 bolts hold the front suspension and cradle to the shell. It’s kind of a bastardized unibody.

[@muskokamike127]

@@texan01 not really, those are called sub frames k members or front clip, most unibody cars are built this way. A "frame off" assembly is typically used to describe a vehicle that has a body on frame construction.

[@Quagmire925]

Haircut at 8:04! Damn that was fast!

I need to find me a sponsor so I can buy some cool stuff for my cars.( or a better paying job). John Ross, you are my idol.

Those alternators default to 13.8v with the internal regulator when you loose the field circuit

Is the Trico a refill or are they the entire wiper? I need some more wipers, I’m running out. My Cadillac has them, my ‘80 Caprice has one, my ‘89 Caprice is missing them completely. I don’t think they fit my Buick, the black looks better

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

In between takes there was a haircut that happened Damn you da man JR

[@jarhead3121usmc]

What trick did you use to get the AN fittings on the fuel line? Looking to do an EFI conversion, and I've heard making those lines is not easy.

[@WatchJRGo]

Put the hose end in your impact, run it down in forward, then install the inner fitting and tighten with wrenches till it stops. If you use nice hose it takes like 1 minute per end 🍻

[@terrylessmann2274]

You're busier than a 1-armed paper hanger. Mainly b/c you film w/ 1 hand & wrench w/ the other. Wonder how you do it, but you get stuff done. Good luck tomorrow. Hope the ignition switch doesn't shoot craps on you.

Why not finish the Rolls for LS fest if the rear end is there? Isnt that all it needed, and would allow you to take your time on the Camaro?

Nonononono YOU PUT THAT BACK 🤣🤣🤣

[@Cartier_specialist]

EXTREME 9000!!

[@muskokamike127]

PWM: Not sure if it is the same but I have a small diode laser that is controlled by PWM. If no wire is hooked up to the PWM pin the laser fires at full power. BTW: a constant 14.2 volts won't boil the battery, it's the amps the alternator puts out that will do that. 14.2 volts at 1 amp won't even charge the battery more than a trickle. 70 amps constant will fry it.

On your way to Kentucky you should swing by Midwest Military in Missouri and pick up M923 then tug of war with your new Ford

[@WireWeHere]

Cambric electrical insulating wrap. A nonstick wrap similar to tape with excellent insulation, mechanical and protection from variations in The Luck and Stuff plus it can be removed quickly and cleanly leaving no resin dudes. Commonly used for electric motor connections to make things easier when The Shit Stopping The Fan. Good general electrical tape is 3M Super 33 and slightly thicker Super 88. Some self vulcanizing rubber splicing tape is great for making damn sure nothing goes pooffft. 3M makes reliable tape, it isn't cheap and if it seems crazy expensive then keep looking they're gouging or were gouged themselves. Wire we here?

[@brokenbirf]

I have never been this early!!!!!!

[@sch-corp]

I'm absolutely staggered that LS Fest is even running. Here I am in Melbourne (Australia) where the whole city is still on "stage 4" lockdown (not allowed more than 5km from our houses) until at least the end of September. Has the US just completely given up on controlling COVID?

[@stevejenks8892]

there’s no national response. It’s state by state and some states are oblivious to the problem. You guys have real leadership. We have the orange faced buffoon.

[@died4us590]

I like the camaro much better than the rolls, glad you stole parts from it instead of taking it to LS fest. Im older and just prefer classic muscle cars, my dad hadba 68 when I was a kid and bought it new, I didn't show up til early 71, he loved that car, but he died in 94 from an aneurysm in his aorta, miss him, and the car. Good luck getting the car ready, God bless.
