DIY Funny Car Part 3, Done! (Hopefully)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video I take care of all the loose ends on the DIY Funny Car made from a Jeep ZJ Grand Cherokee. It drove a few hundred feet, so I'm sure it's ready to race (fingers crossed). It felt pretty good on the first test, so now I have to bring it a few hundred miles to the Duct Tape Drags and see if I can get into the Battle of the Beaters. This should be fun!

James is really starting to master editing these videos to really highlight the dry dead pan humor! There’s a lot of other channels out there, but this one is for sure the most entertaining. It’s honestly the highlight of my week when a new video comes out!

Yeah I like this guy's personality and the way he goes about it seems like a pretty cool dude all around like to have fun and work on all different kinds of stuff
Aluminum, the wood of metal.
Your bodywork skills are truly unmatched. Love watching this channel, it baffles me how you don’t have 10 times the subscribers. Keep having fun!
“Specialty tools”. Breaks out 1940’s era saw. 🤣 Awesome!
I can’t get enough of this guy!
You're the crazy neighbor I always wanted.
Please make a video of the trip, we want to see all the details of your transport! Anything involving the bus is cool, but hauling a racecar with it will be awesome!
Years ago, I painted my dodge work van with rustolium and foam rollers and brushes. It looked awesome.
This is a man of truly unique talents ,I'm amazed every time I see one of His video's ,His matter of fact way of explaining things for those of us that are old enough ,Imagine Him as your engine & metals shop teacher what a class to look forward to every day
You definitely have the most interesting videos and I really get a kick out of your sense of humor ! Good luck at the races. Thanks for sharing all the great projects. The aluminum setup looks to be a great investment.
I cannot believe you went through that for those Wheels,,,😮
That's it, I'm ripping my Grand Cherokee apart and getting that 5.7 hemi drag ready! Awesome videos! 👍🤣👍
Always a good day when your video is posted 👍👍👍
White is the best color for covering amateur(ish) bodywork. I once had a Mazda p/u with MAJOR rust. To Bondo it would have been a waste of good Bondo. So I covered the rust holes with clear packaging tape. Then covered the tape with primer. Then painted the truck white. PRESTO: Brand new truck!
Oh boy, the foam bodywork and the o-ring belt replacement! This channel is a masterpiece
Hi , you are definitely a guy that can come up with ways to fix stuff . It's really fun to watch you work .I really miss working on the Jeep I had .thanks for the entertainment .
Awesome 😎 Still think fender well zoomies would top it off “Road Legal” 😂
Who knew body work could be so fun and easy with the proper tools, Robby Leighton makes it look sooo hard
Your unique thinking is genius, that thing is turning out awesome! I hope you take plenty of footage of the trip.
gotta love the dry humor cant wait for the ride to the race episode and the race good luck
Man, I’m always looking forward to your next videos. You crack me up with your comments and even impress me with your ingenuity.
Well that thing simply looks Goofy 😋. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
I genuinely laugh out loud at the content. There are levels of knowledge, professionalism and dodgy work that culminates in some of THE most entertaining stuff I've seen on KZread. Please never change what you are doing. It's perfection!
You're definitely not the only one. Marketplace, junkyards and Amazon are my weakness. Lol
Simply an amazing build! I always get good ideas and motivation from your videos!
i love all these zj projects
Skid Row. Pure genius.
That thing is truly menacing after the funny car stretch. It should help with getting some power to the pavement
That distributor upgrade is going to be the death of you!! lol
Absolutely love this project! I was thinking about just how many hours of entertainment I have had from your work. It’s a high number. Life would be poorer without you: thank you for coming on KZread 😊
I know you did most of this for the sake of fitting those headers, but... with the front wheel wells open like that, it'd look really awesome with zoomie headers sticking out the sides!
A neat way to provide a tie down point for zipties etc on a frame is to tack weld one side of a washer flat to the surface and then bend the other edge up.
Someday I would like to spend some time with you. You come up with very unique ways to get the job done.
Excellent build James
I approve of the roller paint job!! 🤣 Enjoyed the video James. I hope you have a great time at the event 🔧🔩
As always, a master class in resourcefulness and ingenuity! Your videos also proves that it pays to be a pack rat!
Bodywork tip - next time you paint that expanding body filler, try using paintable undercoating. It does take a few extra dollars out of the pocketbook, but it does a great job of filling in the pores left behind by the saw, and I think it's worth it. P.S. - I live in a part of the country where those "Salt Life" bumper stickers have a different meaning and I've had some form or combination of filler and spray foam rockers on pretty much everything I've owned. I've found that heavy coat of that paintable undercoat fills the holes in better than doing actual work. If you paint it, it looks like chipguard. If you don't, it dries black and looks like fancy bed liner. PPS Love the show!
Oh man, my day gets awesome when I see a new Low Buck video! This project rocks
I’ve had to flush engines cooling system many times, I guess now I really need an old white sink to properly SEE the results…
I enjoy watching your videos you are funny and I truly love the way that you explain how and what you're doing Keep it up
Your videos are great. This funny car build is one of the wildest I've seen in a while
You definitely have a great looking drag car …
Dude you are so funny it makes my life better......I enjoy your vids.
Love it. Cant wait to see the next vid
Painting the Jeep to match the hood scoop -win! Saving weight, time, and trouble by not extending the fenders over the wheels - win! I hope you win! In Tucson!
Pack Rat Engineering! AMAZING!! You Sir are an Automotive Genius!!! Your videos are fascinating to say the least! I am glad I rode along on this build. I think You have something here! Thank You for sharing with Us here on the tube! Looking forward to the next project! Later
I really like the radiator flush kit
Lulz. Lovin' the humor. Keep up the great work and your personal style of entertainment...
You've got some crazy projects man but keep them coming I enjoy it
Now that's what I call a funny car
Love the choice of paint and the applicator ! It really did not turn out that bad .. What a beast !! 👍👍
Dear LBG I'm eagerly looking forward to watch you driving the ol' family bus again. This time you will even tow a car. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
This really is the street version to the black dune buggy.
A proper zip tie tool ... set to standard! Such a great clip, very entertaining and educational! Can't wait to see how the Funny Jeep goes. Great videos, love 'em all 🙂
Excellent as ever . And fund behold.
Hi, awesome loved it. Many thanks from cold wet UK.
That's absolutely BA! Cool man , cool 👍👍🤘✌️
Pure chaos. I love it!
Magnificent hackery. I hope it doesn't kill you. If it does at least you had a very cheap death, which is the best kind.
"I'm road legal" Then does a fat burnout in the driveway. Hahahaha
looking good now. Just one question: How is that street legal? (Coming from the part of the world where you can't do this kind of modification and put it on the road without going through crash tests)
Man I love watching you and I'm jealous of your cool stuff.
No doubt you amaze me with the hoarding skills
awesome push pull welder, I had one at a shop, they are amazing, takes a bit to get it set up right, but with the right settings thay are amazing
Another cool video. Thanks for sharing
I have seen people advance the mechanical timeing with a spade connecter keeping the advance in place for moar powerrrr!!! Love the low buck solutions.
Love the engine flush kit/apparatus best thing I seen all day .best of luck at the drags with the black and white on it you should call it snoopy as a nod to max bachowits old yeller2 witch was as fast on the drag strip as it was on the race track.
The tires sticking out in front of the body is the coolest part of the car... errr... SUV.
The spring are bad . You might have got away with a spring change . But . Changing all the consumable parts is a great idea
Man, you spent next years income on this project. Really special! Thanks...
👏👏👏👍 The car park has increased...
Absolutely fantastic 🎉🎉🎉
I only seen one problem with this... you forgot to paint the front cross member!😂 Thats a cool little Cherokee
love the build hope you get there safe, have a blast racing, your car is a true funny car it made me laugh my butt off!
Wish I could give this a double thumbs up 👍! 👍
Great work, looks and sounds Factree 👌💨💨
Love watching build your stuff!!
That front left wheel was trying so hard to come off the ground. Maybe from frame twisting, but it was trying. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great fun and top diy tips.
Great job buddy thanks for sharing
That was a buttload of work to get that all done, the wheels alone would have been enough for me for a month. I sure hope you have a pocket full of bribe money when you get to inspection!
Great video as always. thank you 👍
I 'collect' o-rings as well. I've found them useful for a myriad of ad hoc application's.
This was a fun one
Man! This is about the most fun video I have seen IMHO. The Jeep is incredible, & I'm rooting for the title win for you! Confidently. It sounds and looks "Funny Car" proper gud. I'm inspired by the flushing method for cleaning the block out. It will be copied as accurately as I can manage. How fortunate you are to be ready to fix those wheel holes, aside from the right thinking .. some right equiptment makes all the difference. On screen those look like factory and I'd use them as if they are factory, myself. Great little repair. If there can be such a thing? 😃😃
Sir! Your automotive painting expertise. is awesome! these helpful body and fender tips are going to save my car painting business untold tens of dollars. Now bout that roller, what if i don't have one of those? Can you use a broom?
Best thing about using a roller to paint no over spray lol
Awesome channel! Can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers! Funny and unique.
awsome video , i have a saw in my garage just like that. although i have never tried it on body filler. lol love the paint. looks good. i have used aluminum tape to cover rust holes. gives it a fancy flashy look. lol
Amazing you got it licensed and insured. Uh huh. Like throwing everything including the bathroom sink into the project.
Believe it or not the Rust-Oleum paint is not that bad oh, you can actually add acrylic hardener and clear coat to that Rust-Oleum and of course reducer and spray that and it will act just like car paint. Ask me how I know??? Always a great video from you I can hardly wait until they hit. Have a great time at the duct tape drags
If you think you need some extra support for those front wheels,,, you could make a couple of large four hole/ five hole "with center hub hole" washer plates out of some steel, then the aluminum center will have steel on both sides when mounted on the axle .
I just saw your car, THIS CAR, on this week's Vice Grip garage! I can't wait to see how you did at the race!
Good.job cool truck jeep 👍👏👏
Love watching the channel, good luck in Tucson!
Can't wait for your new line of custom racing wheels Put me on the waiting list
Great channel. I love it
Awsome job done ❤
This is bananas. Thumbs up.
Excellent video Glenn :) hope see video up Tuscon Arizona on how this vechile run for you too and looking forward more videos too soon watch on it !
