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!

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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 🤘

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Jimmy is so great to be around. ❤

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.

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

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

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!

I'm praying for your full recovery buddy

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.

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

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…

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! 😂

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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

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.

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. :)

This is one cool project. Nice work gents!

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

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!

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

It’s a fine line between madness and brilliance.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

Forward progress. Always a good feeling

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

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

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.

really would have loved seeing it fly again

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

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

Pause on the “Meat Mondays,” 😂😂

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

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

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 !

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

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 👍 ✌️

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

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

Getting awesomely exciting. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

Excellent troubleshooting! The chicken looked good, too.

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

Isn’t this the Vernon Presley jet?🛩️

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

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

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

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

Thank ya very much!

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

I would imagine this jet flew into Roswell in perfect condition. Then simply sat and decayed over the decades. I wasn’t that surprised to see all of the creature features working after being powered up.

The keep the plane a plane it’s a piece of history

I see the petot tubes are still on the fuselage so I guess the air speed indicator would work going down the road?

Love the RV style wood paneling

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

Needs a cradle for the front of the "AIR VEE"....To hold up the front of the extension of the front over the chassi

Should be in a museum.

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

This project is just getting better and better ❤it😊

Restore it to its former glory and put it in a museum

I worked on the prototype Quite Diesel way back for Onan saw the same issue.

this guy is crazy. I like it.

What I love bout Jimmys channel is he doesn’t really know what he doing but figuring it out as he goes kinda like any one of us would be doing!🤷🏼🫡🇺🇸

I don't know if Ron Strauss is still alive, but he flew Elvis the last couple years.....maybe he could help you some way with the buttons & tell you what they are.

I just saw this plane in a video, and they said it was- expected to fetch around 3 million dollars at action. So you did well! At 200 plus K

I would leave the old lighting it adds to the style of the plane. U can add leds on top of thebonly lighting if you need better light

This is nuts! But I love it 😃

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!

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?

Unscheduled disassembly 😂
