Rebuilding Elvis Presley Abandoned Private Jet Pt4 

I can just see Elvis shaking his head & laughing 😂❤ Rest easy Elvis.

I'll be honest, I've never been a believer in the Elvis Jet project, but now I'm starting to see the light a little bit. Still a long way to go, but you have something good going, keep it up!

I must admit that when you first brought that bad boy, i questioned your decision. But as the vision eventually came together, I must say that it has not only been highly entertaining, but I'm thrilled you bought it! Best video series, yet Jimmy! And grizzly is the man! Your of course, are a man-child!

This is far better than any reality tv show series. This is why I hardly watch tv anymore. 😁

Jimmy. Holy Moley, it's actually coming together! Go Elvis Jet, GO! I'm going to try and make it to OshKosh to see this beast!

Just found Jimmy’s channel. Wow is all I can say. What a journey this man is on…

You're a complicated man to figure out Jimmy. But you sure are fun. Keep up the insanity bro, I love your videos.

Also, I'm so sorry Grizz burned his hand! There should be a DC circuit breaker in the cockpit labeled "AOA HTR" that needs to be pulled.

I truly hate the algorithm! It has taken taken away my viewing pleasures of Jimmy's world. And I have missed out on so much of the Elvis jet! But being app at this particular time in the day. It happens to pop up with this post which I am going to enjoy watching!

Thank you for taking this past memory that was connecting to millions. I remember listening to his music. Yes, I cried to some. It's sad that the family did not support you even though they sold it. I pray that they will later. Yes, I know it will bring up mixed emotions. We lost Elvis to soon. I wish someone could have helped him. Ok, continue to bless people. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

As Jetstar5224 said, find the CB for that AOA heater and the Pitot Static heater CB's and pull them yes, but also collar them so they cannot be accidentally reset. It is so cool to see the progress on this iconic airplane.

I hadn't thought about it much, but clearly there going to be a lot of things to do to make this a safe and properly functional driving Elvis museum. Cut power to the heaters, rig various controls and sensors so they don't show errors, you need an avionics specialist to manage all that!

I think this is amazing! I actually heard someone talk about how mad they where that it’s not preserved in a museum and that you “destroy an important rock n roll gem” when I said “I think it’s an amazing idea, don’t judge him. You don’t have the money to buy it nor are you never gonna see it in “said museum” guys. Atleast it’s going to see more life than just rotting up”. And they actually ended up being on my side and I suggested they check your videos 🤘

Jimmy, I'm a retired F-111f crew chief 0f 14 yrs. To make your project go quicker, get with a local airport a/p mechanic who can help you with the technical issues of your conversion!! 🎊 lol Ms T Ellis.

'Let's just hook up power and see what turns on'..... classic "It'll be fine. What could possibly go wrong", Lol.

Griz, I feel ya, man. When I was an ignorant newbie on the ramp unloading air freight off a Nomad after it had just taxied in and shut down, I grabbed a heated pitot tube. I won't ever forget that.

So, Jimmy could feel the heat coming off the Attack Angle heater probe just by putting his hand close to it and Grizzly felt the need to actually grab hold of it to check it out. Lesson learned!

Exciting to see progress on the Elvis Jet. I doubted the vision a bit at first, but it looks like reality now. Good work Jimmy and team.

Is the black box still in it? That would be kewl to hear the last recordings.

This is a great idea! Can't wait to see it all done, inside and out, and driving.

Kudos to you Jimmy for maintaining the Elvis mythology. The plane is significant piece of Americana,. Hope you get to Oshkosh, go on a US tour and end up selling it to be part of the tour at Graceland.

Jimmy your the best, and we just love Griz. He's a wholesome guy man, great dude.

What An AWESOME Crazy Project to build, I have been Watching your Progress So Cool, Thanks for Sharing with US 👊🏻👍🏻

Be careful when you pull all of those springs on the back of the battery compartment off. They move quickly. They are also quite strong.

Jimmy is so great to be around. ❤

Jimmy, why didn't you guys cut away the bottom of the fuselage and lower it down over the RV chassis? The center of gravity of that thing is going to be way too high IMO.

This is so cool!! Can't wait to see it on the road 🙌 Slowly but surely 💯 Get it Jimmy 💯😎

Yeah! Awesome progress guys, this is going to be fun!👍👍 amazing how much still works after cutting the thing in pieces. Take care !

Great to see how it's coming along. Nice cooking too! ITS BIG PIMPIN TO PUT THE PROJECT BATTERY IN THE OG SPOT

Looking forward to Mrs Jimmys worlds videos showing all these projects in detail from her perspective....

Hey Jimmy, Watch your video(s) almost every afternoon. Mom always said I had one or two loose screws so maybe that’s the attraction. Keep it going! 😂

Thanks again Jimmy for another Great video. Always love the back and forth between you and Grizzly. Looking forward to future videos.

There is a level of genius to this because it will have far less drag than a typical RV.

Awesome Build !!! It will be cool to see it driving down the road - what a head turner !!!

It will be cool to see this drive around. Take that big Generator out and install a new smaller more efficient Generator. Big question is should the plane exterior be repainted to look new or leave it as is?

Maybe someone already mentioned this, but for your door to work, my guess is that the weight-on-wheels switch(es) need to be set. Since you took off the gear, no switches…

I'm praying for your full recovery buddy

You should find video footage of When it flied, Add some of Elvis footage on the tape and install some small tv screens to hang up in there and play for visitors.

JIMMY PUT SOME FOLD UP STUBBY WINGS ON THE SIDE OF IT.

Poor Grizzly. I have been working on jet fighters my whole grown up life and I never touch a pitot or AOA blade without spitting on it first. It's fun and safe!

This is one cool project. Nice work gents!

So cool that so much works!!! Will you be extending the front frame/bumper out towards the nose? Can't wait to start seeing this thing get hooked up. Should be epic. :)

I had to replace a rotor and stator in my Onan 5500 Monarch a few years ago. It had a centrifugal short. You made it look quick and easy as you went from uncrate to start up in 2 minutes.but it was a full day, total teardown of the genset for a non pro like me. I was fun though.

I have to admire this guy's honesty within the first 35 seconds of this clip..

Forward progress. Always a good feeling

22:25 when the battery tray lowered it would have been awesome if a pigeon flew out and surprised them!!

I thought by now it would have been mounted on the frame ! That's ok I'll "Standby"At least now we all know the progress report ! Thank You !

Excellent troubleshooting! The chicken looked good, too.

It’s a fine line between madness and brilliance.

Good morning from Minnesota! Can't wait to see it in Oshkosh!!

That highway sailboat needs some serious ballast hung low in the frame rails to keep it from heeling over !

Getting awesomely exciting. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

G’day from DOWNUNDER. You make these videos as entertaining as ever Jimmy. I’m hoping to get to the USA later this year to do parts or ROUTE 66 and go to a few aviation museums and airshows. I’ll need to try to catch up!! By the way, a bushies solution to burns (as long as you don’t break the skin) is to use Vicks VAPOUR RUB liberally on the burnt area!! I’ve proven it many times and carried a jar of Vicks in my flight bag for many years. The shorter the time from the burn to application works best and essentially ALL pain is gone in about 15 minutes. I’ve proven this too many times. Cheers Keith

Jimmy, its no longer the "whatever" voltage it was as an aircraft! With the exception of the dash panel and so forth, just change everything over to 12 volt and leave the wires. It don't matter now, its not going to leave the planet anymore. Otherwise, if not for you, Rebuild Rescue and Outdoor Boys, life has no meaning! Keep up the great work!

Good progress :D Keep it up! Back to work!

Thank ya very much!

This project is just getting better and better ❤it😊

Sliding down the battery section is so badass, hope you keep it functional.

Definitely get rid of all the incandescent lights that you possibly can and replace them with LEDs. Your current draw will go WAY down while lumens go way up! Awesome video, Jimmy!

Preflight, all switches in off/safe /normal. Look for the AOA switch set to OFF. planes are robust , once moved F/A 18 with no wings or stabs just hanging landing gear had to stow for transport. for road trip from SC to FL, crazy few hyd caps some power hyd pressure walla came to life.

Hey Jimmy, as I’ve been in a bunch of jets due to working the ramp at KFPR, I’d think there’d be actual cabin lights other than the reading lights. As you were walking down the inside of the jet, there’s what looks like light strips by your head and those should illuminate if that’s what they are

The little fan near the galley is for the auto cabin temperature control.

“Can I Get a Clear Prop?!” Great video as always Jimmy!

Well done jimmy what a great guy you are❤❤❤

Getting there .... power .... it,s Alive .... looks good inside with lights .... ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ....

Awsome cant wait to watch tonight

love the progress

Jimmy i used your code for good ranchers, i never buy stuff peddled by youtubers but this is too good to pass up, esp with the discount, thanks, can't wait til my weekly essentials box comes.

I've been watching the other Elvis plane goin RV videos and I don't remember seeing the part where you guys drove the RV with nothing left on it after destruction except the dash and the seats 😂😂 in an Elvis outfit 🤣, sooo funny. ROFFLMAO what was that experience like? With that diesel engine 20 to 40 feet behind you 😄🤣. Convertible RV 😁. After Grizzly fixed the generator you should have said "Grizzly we have an APU" instead of we have a generator lol. That thing definitely could use a sunroof or 2 lol so it won't be so dark back there in the passenger cabin cuz I prolly wouldn't wanna just change out those bulbs with some new fangled led bulbs lol I'd prolly wanna leave them just as they are as long as they work and even then id prolly try to find a proper replacement if they blew out lol. Great vid as usual 👍 ✌️

To own anything from the king is priceless. Me and my neighbor had all Elvis albums blowing into the neighbor. R.i.p

Jimmy, You are a mad man!!! love your vidios. You can buy a step down convertor from 120 volt ac to 28 volt dc. Should not be difficult to discon the power on that angle of attract device. Unplug from the inside?

Jimmy, you certainly have an interesting life. ❤ And oh… thanks for the prayer 🙏 over your meal, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Jimmy, you're out of you're mind, but I love it!!

Jimmy, you're our brother from another mother 😅👍

Yummm, dry burnt chicken! My favorite! 18:00

really would have loved seeing it fly again

"I Jet The Elvis Drive" would sound nuts! But I guess "I Drive The Elvis Jet" makes some sense!

I freaking love everything you do

Hey Jimmy thank you for the video and just to let you know when you do go to switch out those lights for LD lights when you go to take pictures in there then it's not going to come out good the pictures because the LV lights affect the camera so wherever you have the LED lights are ready then go take a picture and you will see for your self

Hey Jimmy, sit on the Elvis Throne!

Why put LEDs inside the cabin? It's fun seeing it with original lighting

Staight of the art when new . Right staight now. Hope you get it fixed up good . be fantastic to see it all done .

Pause on the “Meat Mondays,” 😂😂

I am a big big elvis fan am sure he would be proud of guys restoring the plane❤❤❤

What a incredible project. If you can pull this off, that will be great. Just make sure that it is safe. I do not know how you will be able to drive it because it will be real hard to see out of the cockpit windows. Good luck on getting insurance. I am for you but just a bit concerned. It will be nice if you can lower the center of gravity to reduce tipping risks.

Turning it into a trailer would probably have made more sense.

Honestly I’m kinda sad to see it’ll never fly again. With that said I love the channel. And will just tune into the content I love.

if it was me i would just remove all unneeded cables and stuf just to avoid shorts later in the project

Ahhhh, Cummins boxes. Memories! Gee, remember WAY back when (like, around when you got the RV) - I said be prepared for the magnets to blow off and take out the stator?! :D

Jimmy, you need some serious sway bars as the center of mass is like 8' off the ground. Maye put duly wheels to get a wider wheelbase. Any way to drop the fuselage lower? Chop the bottom 1/3 of the plane off and drop it? Dont drive sideways on a slope or take fast corners.

WOW look at all that copper😲😉@2:31 great video. 2x👍

Jimmy you need to utilize the APU switches and control as means to operate the diesel generator. Its only proper to put as many switches and relays and circuit breakers to use as possible.

I cant wait to see the indicated airspeed come alive on the highway lol =P

Love the RV style wood paneling

That’s going to be one uncomfortable cabin. The ventilation and AC came from the engines which are no more. The cockpit with its windows, that’s going to be extra hot. Good luck with all that. Keep a few fire extinguishers handy.

Your a legend dude ❤

Congratulations Jimmy. Great progress on conversion of the plane to RV. What is the next step towards driving on wheels with an engine connection to the drive mechanism?

Lets go i was waiting for this video for along time 😁

Very cool project! With all the "holes" in the instrument panel from components being removed over time, are you going to try to find replacements to fill those holes so the cockpit will look at least complete as it was during it's operating years? Seems that would be a proper visual effect during the touring days? Hate to see empty holes in instrument panels!

The round plug on the battery is called a cannon plug. That jet was bought for Elvis Presley's dad Vernon and was hardly ever used.
