I guess Starr Creations video was basically the same as this. You guys all must have watched theirs first a week or two ago. This is the first time I’ve uploaded my footage. Definitely stuff you guys haven’t seen in the second half of the video.
Haha I was like what the hell brother.
All good Cleet. Good content bro. I tend to agree with you on body. Looks sweet but i like the nose a little less pointed. Slightly cartoony. Keep up the awesome content bud.
I was so confused. I was like i remember all of this. lol
Oh, there's actually new stuff here after the 16 minute mark, I almost didn't watch thinking it would be exactly the same video
Shame on those who couldn't wait for your video Cleet 😂
"Rip's gonna be pissed at me" 🤣🤣 I'll admit I had a good laugh at that one😅
The bonding time between George and yourself with the planes got me. I’ve been seeing negative comments about ol George but I love his energy. His work ethic is also second to none in the shop. Much love LS George !!
He is what they call having a kindred spirit
Them negative comments can suck my buenos dias.
Negative comments about LS George? We rally at dawn.
Negative comments? Absolute insolence.
There's literally nothing negative you can say about any of the crew (especially George). They're awesome.
Gotta say the real time modification of the body in AR was killer. Embrace technology and there's little you can't do. Can't wait to see it on Leroy. 🤘
We love Leeroy too dang much to see the front end look like a Fourth of July parade float. We love the creative idea, but Leeroy needs to be a bad ass, not a cartoon 🙌🏻
100%
Who? We? Do you mean as in you? A bald eagle is a symbol of Freedom, not a cartoon. It looks incredible.
Cool thing is it's not your car
This 👌👌
@@FarmerFpv We as in the 134+ people who agree
Whistlin Deisel'd that helicopter right off the bat beginning of the video🤣🤣🤣
😂
Guys look at this
It still flys 🦅
HELL YEAH BROTHER helecopter said nope dont want to end up in the barn!!
@@CleetusM
@CleetusM Good to hear brother! Looks like a nice toy for when it's raining to play with in the shop.
Big thanks to Starr Creations. That was time and a little bit of business expense but that was SO cool having an all-access pass to your lovely shop! Thanks for treating the the boys with such a great tour.
The first time I saw the first rendition of the body I knew it looked like something I'd seen before. The nose is very WS6 trans amesque. Looks good so far, excited to see what ol Leroy can do without fighting all that aerodynamic drag.
I thought the same thing
I thought Daffy Duck for sure
I used to spray fiberglass using that same chopper. Only the hoses were connected to a big boom so you could walk 20 to 30' circles. Fiberglass would be at the center, pallet at a time. I'm pretty sure Saint-Gobain made our fiber glass out of Texas. I worked for Baja boats building the Outlaws & others like the Islander. Only we didnt have any respirators, just safety glasses & paint pants. Shop would always have a mist hue in the air. Its the only time in my life my nose has bled. Still enjoyed being a gunner & knocking out 5 to 8 boats a day. People I worked with were the best to be around. I was 20 years old doing that for 10 to 12 hours a day. After I left I was still finding fiber glass years later. Gets everywhere. Thanks for the memory refresher.
You're talking about some serious permanent damage there buddy. Imo asbestos isn't any worse than fiberglass.
dude you most likely have Lung cancer by now
Similar story, I still find old clothes covered in resin, 25 years later...
Is it true that their beards are actually just fiberglass over spray?
Bruh youre dead like 20 years early, wear your fucking PPE people xD
Omg yes .. I've waited for this day since the wind tunnel when I truly understood what was happening and handicapping my boy Leroy... Lets freaking go 💪
I guess you missed the original upload of this vid😂😂😂
Didn’t this video get uploaded a month ago? Seems like I’ve watched this before…
@@daddys_slow5ohwhat happened?
Can only mean 1 thing. Wind Tunnel vid 2.
There’s a rule for beam tripper. Can only extend 45” forward of the centerline of the front wheel.
You guys are truly my inspiration every day coming home from school and now work I’d be beat completely beat not having any motivation for anything except your videos you guys pulled me out of a really dark time in my life and taught me a lot about manhood me never really having a father was rough but somehow watching you guys just taught me so much about responsibility accountability and so much more thank you guys for being so freakin amazing and inspiring guys like me everyday to just live and chase they’re dreams
Hey, keep up the good, and hard work. Keep working toward those dreams, make us all proud 😎
Love that you're putting a body on Leroy and that company does amazing work. I'm not real crazy about the nose on their design. It to me is way to pointy. To me it doesn't look like a bald eagle. Please don't hate me for this.
I agree it looks stupid.
yeah it's not great
It's really not great
I thought maybe I was the only one. I don’t like it at all, short, long, either way.
I agree. the second rendering looked really goofy. The first one wasn't to bad.
Great video. I worked for the guy(Jay Johnson) that invented the chopper gun for fiberglass. He used it to make a catamaran. He entered into the 1966 Trans-Pontiac Yacht race and won on his first time. He was a very smart man. I had a great learning experience working for him.
Nice you never know when history you were part of comes into the forefront. Sweet.
That invention was so critical in enabling the production boat boom in the mid 70's. So many of those boats are still on the water today!
I believe it. The inventor was super smart and had many other inventions when I worked for him. He definitely loved boats.
That's cool as hell man
Cool story bro
Watching George try to fly that cub was one of the most seat-of-the-pants things I've experienced lately! That thing was SOOOOOOO forgiving!!!!!
Put the rotary from mystery machine in your jetboat!!!!! Imagine him jumping with that thing! Braaapapapapapappappap!!! Shtuuuutuutuutuuu and flames spitting! Sick
I approve this message.
Seconded
Third
Fourth
Wanna see a puerto rico spec Suzuki on mud tires that would be awesome
Got to make sure the nose is within the rules for front overhang in the class you are running. There is a limit on how far the nose can be from the front wheel.
They know that😂
@@-LK34- We can assume they know, but the car never had an actual body before lol, so who knows? I just want to see it done up as a pissed off eagle face and feathers and flames in the rear.
@MultiTravellingman James mentioned it when they were scanning Leroy so I'm sure they're aware
he has like 10 different class cars. he knows the rules lol
He runs all out stick shift in Leroy... Soooo
DANG guys,that is awesome getting amongst the process,walking an hour in your Brõthurrs shoes right there,seeing what those blokes go through on a daily basis to build all those drag car bodies,boats and custom parts & what not. How good. Also,where would the channel be right now without every single being thats came seen and been over the years,and for sure the ones that are still present,keep it up guys and girls.
I had NO clue that laying fiberglass could be done with a sprayer. It was incredibly satisfying to watch it spray on and watch it get rolled down. Cool video!
I only knew because my dad did it in the 80s before I was born and he had told me about it. I had never thought about it really, or bothered to look it up. That was fascinating!
Dad (Cleetus) watching his kid (George) fly his new RC plane reminds me of good times with my sons. Fun stuff! Can't wait to see color on the virtual rendering!
Georges first flight lasted far longer than mine...mine went almost straight up, stalled, then straight back down, 30 seconds, max...started as a flying wing, ended as a bunch of foam bits lol
R.I.P.
Fiberglass fibers give me goosebumps 😂, when I was a kid I played with a roll of that pink panther insulation not knowing any better. Had regrets for days 😂
The forbidden cotton candy!! Yeah...same here
@@dr.jackill2861😂
@@dr.jackill2861the real forbidden cotton candy is from galvanised welding
The forbidden cotton candy I remodeled alot of houses in my time and eventually got immune to them but idk this stuff looks rough
It’s a right of passage into manhood
Over the years there isn't a ton I haven't seen, done, or atleast surprised by, but I honestly knew nothing about how fiberglass panels were made and although it definitely isn't something I would want to do especially in Florida heat 🔥, I have a ton of respect for these guys, and kinda mind blown on that sprayer. That thing is awesome how it chops that quick. Thanks for sharing you big giraffe 🦒. 😉
Hell yes LS I'm 66 been flying RC for 50 plus years now and I'd say that was damn sure a success ! Hell of a sight better than my solo flight. I turned a nice motorized glider into a dirt drill LOL Don't stop its sickness but one of the best kind to have. Old KY Fan Here
Cleetus's vs.Tye's putty technique has a direct and equal correlation to their welding abilities.
Thats the coolest thing I have have ever seen. He literally was adjusting the body in real life. Mind blowing technology.
Just a tip guys, you can absolutely make panels to create low pressure zones around the areas of high drag. That way Leroy has a “body”, but still looks like an exoskeleton car.
My company 3D scans vehicles and wind tunnel tests them on the computer. It lets you test tons of different panel / body configurations in just a few hours.
George has the dream job. Not long ago he was working a 9-5 and now he’s spending weekends in Colorado with Cleet and HeavyD. Think about all the insane trips he’s been on with Cleet.
The funniest part of the video was George trying to stifle his laugh when Cleetus whacked the copter off the shop ceiling, lol.
Cleet freaking out as George was flying is priceless!!
Haven't laughed that hard all week
Every one can land at least once.
Experienced RC pilot Cleet could see things others can't. As an experienced RC pilot myself, I was literally screaming OH F&^K almost the entire time, it was that hairy! Can anyone say tip stall?!!!
The RC plane content here was my favorite. Thanks for good stuff. Amazing what augmented reality can do for concept body reveiews!
Please 🙏 get one modeled off a regular corvette also. I honestly thought the eagle body was just messing with people!! Haha its super cool and good for advertising stuff but a simple corvette fiberglass body would just look so good
They are doing both
@@williamuskoski1385 awesome 👌
From an old guy…. Thanks for showing the “ chopper gun” I’ve always wanted to try it out. Feels like I’m there! Thanks Cleet 🙏
🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
Isn't there a specific front overhang dimension you have to stay within? Same thing the blade accomplishs for the short nosed cars like an early Nova.😊
I love these build episodes. Learning how things are made, flown and modified is outstanding content!
You have no idea how stoked I am to see Leroy get the chance to show what he’s really made off with his new suit.
I worked in a fiberglass shop for a couple years making moving and car hauler truck ramps, you guys have no idea the mess that shit makes when spraying it. It's hard work prepping the molds and stuff.
Oh Im aware brother if you don't know what to do or how to spray forget it your done I sprayed body kit molds and semi truck parts like hoods
StarrCreations holy smokes, that AR model and the ability to quickly edit in front of your clients is INSPIRING.
I really appreciate that he makes the ad reads funny, makes them less skippable and more enjoyable to watch
Cleeter does the best AG1 ads. Sensible solutions to everyday problems. God bless ya Florida!
Watching George fly was the best few minutes of my day.. that and your reactions to him flying! Just got back into RC planes and getting my son involved too, he's a natural. I used to fly with my Dad back in the 90's before cancer took him, feels real good to be airborne again.
BTW that Carbon cub is savage, it's on my wish list.
Its like deja vu all over again
I low key loved watching Cleet fly those RC Airplanes at the end of the vid. Also congrats George on your first flight. 🫡😂
George adds so much greatness to the channel. Without him this channel wouldnt be half as good as it is now
That design program is bad ass. How he was adjusting real time!! Looks really cool!! Technology is pretty sweet.
Nice...seems like yesterday you were rooting thru the junkyard for the 1st block for the then unknown Ruby...I cannot believe how far youve come in such a short time....talk about catching lightning in a bottle!. Congratulations on the capture young man. ✌️
Sweet Honey BBQ, I’m Matt L from Michigan! Yep, big silver lake sand guy. I thought I heard some screeching bald eagles in the distance trying to call me. I left my phone at home, was at work all 6 times you guys called. Thanks for the Promoto and all the great content. I ordered the new squarebody JH shirt too! Hell yeah brother.
I never thought I would be excited to see a body on Leroy! It is going to look so good!
The future of prototyping. Went to school for this. Its REALLY powerful. All the big car manufacturers use it to make sure everything is in reach for the driver and easy to use before they start building with real parts.
Cleetus just did a whistlin diesel with the helicopter in the shop. AG got their moneys worth with this ad because its funny af. 😂
We need more rc plane action! Got my first plane last week, a little foamie bf-109, and ive been having a blast with it lol cant wait till i get onto the bigger ones
I want cleetus and crew to be able to ride with the blue angels! That would be great content!
The AR segments were so cool. I love the vids where you guys visit other shops. Leroy is going to be so cool- and way faster on the top end. Freedom!
Need to watch how long the nose is. Most classes and sanctioning bodies have rules about front over hang length from front spindles
Thats why they're adjusting it to be more like a c7 corvette, the model with the beak is a custom model. He said that they're going to re do it with the c7 model diameters.
They discussed wheel base and length in their first meeting. Should be good but still just not feeling this thing.
Ran a chopper gun for a few years building Bayliner boats ... also was a tooler( mold builder) before I grew up an went to chevy an became a technician.... still do hand lay on occasion
Oh man seeing the chopper gun room bought back some memories lol. Used to spray 9 spa pools a day with that messy ass gun lol.
Cleetus is such a smart business man. I’m sure he’s getting a discount, and their getting the exposure, while also giving us a great and interesting video abt a cool process some of us has never seen or understood. Hell the last video had me wanting to be a pilot😂
I love the implementation of AR in the car world. So cool that you can just whip out concepts like that without wasting fiberglass and many man hours
Wild to have leeroy in the back ground while looking at leeroy with a shell 😮that 3d imagine is insain i couldnt imagine wearing those and seeing that in real life 😮
People thought it looked like a platypus before?! The platypus has been my favorite animal since I was 5 (yes it made for a lot of awkward conversations in school) and never thought it looked like one. I guess people cant think what it will look like with color and only see the orange and not have any imagination? I hope you go with what you and your team likes the best. When it gets color most of the doubters will like it too. Do it for your team and do it for Dale! and Ed!
George and the Respirators, "Who's Paying For Them?" love it!
That was hilarious
RC heli spooling up sounded like the THX intro for movies back in the day 🤣
You should hear the real deal pro 3D RC helis spool up. 4000rpm rotor head speed. They can actually kill you.
i would have loved to see leroy with clear body pannels like an RC car. i dont think there is a thermal forming macine big enough for a whole car. but 1 pannel at a time could have worked
I love how entertaining this channel is. The whole VR Leroy scene was hilarious!
“You can make anything”
George “thats literally what he said”
Lmao that got me
Didn’t Cleetus already do this vid? Is this a re-upload?
I just came here to say that.
It's a dang re-run! Lol
Good I'm not actually going crazy lol
No, it was on their channel. I thought the same thing.
The company put out there own video first
i love OG Leroy,but also can't wait to see how he runs with the new body.
Would love to come out and fly with you guys (RC) been in the hobby for years. Love seeing the rc content as well.
Watching George fly an RC Plane is like watching Garza on anything with 2 wheels. NERVE-RACKING! LOL. Love Ya George.
😂 My thoughts EXACTLY
Saw this on their page weeks ago I think……
Def pulled this one from the ol archive 😂
So I ain’t the only one that thought that
I was excited I thought it was new, I watched this like 3 weeks ago I thought I was in some weird dashavue 😂
I thought I was losing my mind
Thought I was going crazy.
Anyone else enjoying MacFarland Racing visiting their supporters' businesses? I'm loving this series, next Texas Speed or Wiple Superchargers!
Good luck to you with the new body for the car. If you’re ever in the Michigan area let me know! And always keep it in the Green!
is this a reupload?
Yes it is. I watched this before the Sick Week vids.
Yeah def a reupload…
Yep, thought the same thing.
yeah this is i remember watching it weeks ago
The first half is
The MEKP that's used in that resin is really intense stuff. I worked briefly with a guy who had 20 years of vynl-ester resin work and his eyes looked like 2 big milky saucers.
I work with it daily maintaining and repairing these chop rigs, it’s serious stuff and the amount of people I see in here thinking it’s the same stuff as the 2 part epoxy you get at Walmart that sets in 24-48hrs is insane. This stuff will blind you in seconds if it gets in your eyes.
methyl ethyl death
I used to work at a specialty resin adhesive plant, MEK was my favorite smelling stuff, lol. Toluene is the worst.
We made high performance resins from basic things like sandpaper adhesives, to military and aerospace coatings. It was pretty cool, but some of those chemicals were super dangerous. One of the worst was ammonia, we used 33% and just popping the cork on the bottle would damn near knock you out if weren't opening it in the fume hood. And some chemicals had big skull and crossbones warnings of "This will cause cancer or death if exposed". Not the watered down california "May cause cancer".
its nasty crap. not something you want absorbed into your body.
@@anthonyboylan9212You might know the answer here, with proper xylene off the market is there an alternative? Everything else I've tried doesn't seem to clean the spray equipment nearly as well.
As much as I love all of you guys, I'm glad you bring George everywhere. He just has the personality, that gets you excited about everything.
I can’t wait to see the finishing product of that car body done that is gonna be so sick
I build fiberglass Containment Tanks especially for gas and diesel Containment under fuel stations. All the same processes. Very cool watching you learn the trade I've been doing for 8 years!
I'm glad you're happy with the direction the development of the body is going but the eagle front end looks terrible to me. Hopefully I'm wrong and the final product looks great.
I didn’t mind it in the first rendition but the updated version is waaaaay too eagle faced.
@@Whacintosh It wasn't nearly as exaggerated in the first version so I agree with you there. I'd really prefer a promod-ized c7 style front. The front end in the current version looks like it belongs on a Mardi Gras parade float, not a race car.
@@xanderoptik dude you’re right 😂 it looks like a parade car
Yep, looks goofy
Agreed. If this body goes on I'll have to skip all the Leroy content
What a tool VR is for designing stuff with clients! That's very cool. Sci-fi in the 90s, reality now!
Matt & Shane followed by Cleetus make the best advertisements on RUclips. I applaud you guys for the ingenuity every single time
We need a crossover ep for sure
bro I was just thinking what would Cleet be like on Matt and Shanes
Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) I used it for years here in California than the state of California bandit saying it's not safe. I'm still alive. It's safe. It is a very universal solvent I used it doing subwoofer repair. It broke down the glue. Nice and didn't leave any damage or staining to the cone. Also works really good on getting contaminants off of paint without damaging the paint if used correctly, especially road tar.
The MEKP we use to build yachts will strip paint in seconds. Will also burn skin in seconds and blind you in seconds. There may be different chemical buildups in the stuff you’re used to lol these chop rigs use some brutal catalyst. Not like the stuff you mix at home and it sets in 24hrs. This stuff reacts hot and quick. An entire hull will be fully cured in 4 hours max and we’re talking 200 gallons of resin lol
I was thinking the same thing when I heard that.
I can roll droplets of mercury around in the palm of my bare hand and wake up tomorrow morning to do it again. Doesn't mean it's safe.
@@anthonyboylan9212 That's MEK-P, but in the video the chop guy just said they used MEK. We have no idea what resin they're using, nor what catalyst. But MEK is commonly used as a thinner, so it's possible they're using regular MEK.
@@theKashConnoisseur correct, but this chop rig is most certainly using MEK-P. Those that work with it every day generally just call it MEK, or cat (catalyst). We use many variations of Norox MEKP
George might need some duel rate action on his TX to help calm his movements down a bit but good on him for doing so good and not ending in pieces.
Man I love your videos I think you guys are the best man I would love to have one of them dirt bikes I can't afford one right now iv been clean for 8 years now I'm making my life better now bought my own land an house making my life better day by day when I'm down an out I watch your videos it lifts Me right up keep making videos your whole team is awesome cleetus there's nothing you can't do keep the good work up man an thanks for your videos
Cleetus 3:58 "Gotta be weird making stuff that you know is just going to get destroyed almost immediately" This needs to be played back to Cleetus every time he destroys something almost immediately.
Bald Eagle body let’s goooo!!! Leroy is going to be the opposite of a monster truck with a themed body lol. Can’t wait to see him spread his wings and start running some crazy trap speeds and new et’s with the added aerodynamics.
I’m not a big RC guy and usually skip those segments but watching George learn was cool
That was very cool seeing the bodies for Leroy. One the cooler things have saw lately.
That Augmented Reality conversation in the VR goggles was really cool despite the poor quality, those tools are incredible
I knew I would find someone like this in the comments, they are using a very basic application right off of the Quest 3 hardware. With a PC and a link cable or a good Airlink connection, you can have a fully detailed model of a real car in the place of that low quality sketch. Don't underestimate things withought looking further into them.
The point on the rear will create turbulent air causing more drag. There should be a flat spot on the rear like the Shelby Daytona, that allows the air to leave the body with less turbulence.
The cfd model will tell all they need to know.
Fellow RC guy here - some advice given to me "Always be 3 mistakes high". A stunt for you is called a loop and thud. Do a loop just perfectly close enough to the ground that you land. The objective is not to do the thud part. As for completely totaled planes that this stunt might result in, my group refers to them as carcasses.
Car body is going to be sweet!!
This is the coolest use of spacial computing I’ve seen. Super sick stuff
I’m going crazy. This has already happened!!
haven't we already seen this ?
Supposedly it was the shop's vid we saw. There are differences tho and there's more in this one.
You saw similar footage on Starr creation's channel, yes. I'm sure someone will be picky and correct me that the VR footage was identical, and yes, they only had one VR setup so it would be.
@@DaveS71 ahh, looked the same to me lol, I watched it anyway just seemed odd
that slant back with the segmented wing is SO SICK
This is absolutely wild🔥
Also, we need a “George! Hit the button!” Shirt
Am I going crazy…. I swear I’ve seen this video a while back
I feel like this is Deja Vu. I have seen this before... somewhere... Like this is a re-run or something.
Pro mod leroy coming in hot. Love watching George learn to fly. Something real relatable about it lol
I've been in fiberglass for 45 years but I never took to chopper gun laminating, too messy for my liking. I still prefer to make patterns and tailor my mat to the part and apply resin with brush or roller then roll out with paddle rollers. Yeah it's slower but also no risk of the catalyst jamming up and getting a no cure situation.
Yeah, I never liked them. Watching them walk into the spray booth, I could feel my skin crawling, and was waiting for the prickling sensation under my collar, as a bit of glass dug into my neck.....
reupload?
You watched it on the glass guys channel, some of the footage was used by both
Reupload?
No. You saw similar footage of the same event, filmed by the fiberglass shop, Starr creations, and uploaded a couple weeks ago. After the 16 minute mark is all unique footage.
