Check out Gentry and Sons czcams.com/video/x7qr_9lsYiI/video.html
Gentry and Sons could be a huge help with getting that thing situated on an RV chassis! Hope that's not the last of seeing them on the channel.
Was passierte den jetzt mit dem jet eine kurze und einfache Antwort würde mich freuen
Subscribed to Gentry and Sons go over and give them a look well worth subscribing
Hi Jimmy, if you start business with that plane you should try to get a realistic Elvis doll who even wears his perfume he always used and put him in a seat for the visitors while his music plays in the back! Sadly that restoring makes no sense as the FAA says..But anyway a good Investition because you can´t loose cash with that jet!
Was amazed you bought this jet before having it assessed for airworthiness.
But now this has morphed into a different project.
Have to give you a thumbs up now Jimmy. Be interesting to see the results.
Paid for a lovely Lady (91) at a local care home and Lisa the carer to see an Elvis tribute act here in the UK (he was good) - she had a ball and loved every minute - even met the “King” Just found out she passed away this morning so, here’s to Kathleen and watch out real Elvis because she’s a comin’ !
that’s beautiful man
Well done that man. All the best from Jersey,
Thanks for posts all - lost Wifey late last year (55) - really hard days.... giving really helps. x5 tickets already paid for Panto Xmas Eve '23 here in Peterborough, UK - the residents will love it.. (oh no they won't...) It's Aladdin...If Elvis returns again I'll pay for the lot to go.. when you get old you don't have much - just glad Kathleen saw the King...
@@GRHDA ha. Me too what are the odds on some random comment. I’m up in lake Hopatcong.

You should make those plane tag keychains out of the skin on the wings and other sheet metal that you don’t end up using. I know I’d buy one.
IM IN FOR A FEW TOO JIMMY
Where’s the wings? Did he scrap them in New Mexico?
@@technophant yes scrapped
Same!
Poor Jimmy's got to make his money back somehow while not getting divorced. Keychain idea = golden
A huge thank you to Gentry & Sons for hauling this piece of history for @Jimmy's World and thanks to Bruce and Paul for the use of the equipment to help unload and store the Jet for Jimmy. Now the real work begins to design and develop an idea of making this Jetstar into an amazing Elvis Presley museum/tour bus & RV. Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on this great adventure. Good luck with your " Elvis Presley Jetstar Museum and Tour Bus/RV.
Amazing job in loading and transporting and then getting into storage , they performed above and beyond the call of duty . It's a shame it will never fly again but the Kings Jet will live on in a useful and entertaining way , the likes of most of us normal people can afford and enjoy . The alternative is scrapped or rust to the floor where she stood , at least now a part of Elvis history will live on .
That shows the skill and dedication truck drivers have for the services they provide for people all across the USA. WTG!
Men like this are what makes this country great.
Moving tip for the future: If you're going to lift it again, you should have a spreader beam. If you'd had one at disassembly, you probably wouldn't have wrinkled the skin.
Worst bit of rigging I've ever seen 🤦🤣
My hat's off to all of the guys involved in moving this piece of history! I can't wait to see it turned into something exiting.
"piece if history" is broken down in many pieces and the way this "pice of history" kept for decades it shows how important it is
A lot of negative people out there
Yeah, when I want excitement I google "homemade motorhomes," whoo whoo!
@@buckmurdock2500 Why did you click on the video then?
The only History it has is Elvis' Name on the Chain of Ownership. The Man never left the ground in it. I have a Pringles can that rolled down the driveway at Graceland if you want to buy it. I'm sure it was Elvis'.
Just to see you do something with it other than letting it sit and rot is a win. People will love it when it is done and I think this will be great to influence the youth to get into aviation. Bet this would be a hit on the air show circuit!!!!
Got to say I’m loving the vids Jimmy… I’m a disabled man with a limited lifestyle and to see you doing the kinda things I dream of.. hats off to you. Excited to see where this project goes. Kind regards Jez Scotland uk
Take care
Hang in there Cuzz (Traced roots to 1555 - Dawyck Castle, Drummelizier, Peebleshire, Scotland) Jimmy's Hilarious and you can tell his offspring are chips off the 'ol Block.
This is my new favourite series and channel on CZcams. Been binge watching the channel after first watching this series. Can't wait to see what happens
Now that’s the literal “team work makes the dream work!!” Great job guys!!!
You have a great focused crew😮
How he backed that up he made it look real easy. I'm impressed 👍🏻
Thumbs up 👍🏻
Thumbs up 👍 a Jimmy project is beginning!
when you get it done i so wanna bring my grandpa to see this, i showed him the video of you powering it up and he was smiling and watched the whole entire video. hes a really big elvis fan and i feel like it would make his day to see it
What an amazing job you guys did!!
I can't wait to see the next episode 🙂
Back around 1980, in California someone made a DC-3 into a motor home, I saw it on the news and then a few months later I saw it on the interstate going the opposite direction. Good luck, and have fun Jimmy.
Great job guys. I was already following this channel well before this project. This has just got me glued. As a guy in his mid 30s who grew up loving Elvis and wants to get a Private Pilots License one day, well this is like the ultimate dream right here. I hope it all works out and I can see this baby on the road and on tour. I'm literally an hour and a half from Plant City. I'm so excited and I'm here for all of this! Keep it up Jimmy!
I wish I could’ve helped on this Jimmy that’s what I did for a living has moved stuff like that unless I almost had a heart attack minimum bare minimum rigging scared me to death
It's been an epic journey so far. Looking forward to seeing the conversion to the next chapter in her life as the Elvis Jet.
this piece is history- take your time and do it good and nice- fans will thank you !!🤩
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! Looking forward to watching conversion/restoration videos as the project moves along. Seeing the "Elvis Jet" will definately be added to my bucket list.✈
Elvis is in the building! Great job! Excited to see where this goes from here!
Those fuel tanks ! Would make a beautiful couple of drop tank racers !!!!
Yes sir and pull them behind the RV that would be pretty nice set up
Gentry & Sons ROCK they have survived DEVASTATING Fire and still do the best work!!!!!!!
I've been waiting for this video to come out ever since I saw Tim's delivery video. WOW that was sketchy. Cannot wait to follow the conversion process.
Excited for the build. It's gonna be the most epic Jet Bus ever. Great team work you guys did getting it home. Lets do it!
It was great to see such skill in manouvering. Well done to all.
great update, so nice to see anything happening to this old bird she deserves to be shown off 2x👍
Every instinct I have is screaming "money pit" 🙂! But, wow is this crazy entertaining! I really hope you pull this off and make a mint off this thing.
That was an awesome video, glad I could be apart of this move!
Wow, Jimmy! Just WOW. What an amazing process to get the EJ to its new outfitting facility. I can't wait for the next videos.
Absolutely Magnificent. You good ole boys are legends,
Good morning from Minnesota!! Great job by all the guys!! Can't wait to see the build series!
For some more ideas, you might want to check out how they built the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.
The Weinermobile is built on a truck chassis. Have seen it many times in Dearborn, MI.
Glad to see it made it to the new place safely.
At 50 plus feet long and not sure of the weight I'm not sure what truck frame to use. I would suggest an 80 plus passenger school bus with an automatic, it would give you everything you would need powertrain wise.
Yeah, those aromatics are kewl ! ! Not sure how they would be used in a driveline though . . .
@@buckmurdock2500 the fun of autocorrect
I think it’s so awesome that you’re giving this piece of Elvis history a new life! It always bothered me that the plane sat alone and ignored all these years. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the plane. Cool!
8:32 Haha! The jet haulin' business. Nice. I've seen a few aircraft being ground transported by big rig on highways in my life and it was really cool. There's always something special about an aircraft essentially travelling on the roadways with you. Elvis's Jet or not you're still going to get people interested. You guys are great and Jimmy, you are and will be a great steward of this piece of history.
Jimmy, I am so very proud of you. You clearly have a wonderful heart. I look forward to seeing what you end up doing to keep Elvis alive. I went to his very last concert. Truly broke my heart on his passing.
On another note. What did you do with the wings ?
Your viewer and friend in California, Ron
WOW! I can't believe you guys pulled that off. I was a bit nervous watching the process but was also very intrigued. Excellent work to you all!!! I can't wait to see what you are going to do next... because really... "What could possibly go wrong? " :)
love your positive attitude Jimmy ! x
That moment I recognized Bruce and the truck two of the coolest youtube worlds happily collided in my head ❤
Jimmy you made the best purchase of the decade. I am proud of you and I cannot wait to take a tour. Not because Elvis is a rock star or was lol. But you are and you're very inspiring.
The best part about it is that Jimmy does all of this on the pay of a E2 in the Air Force Reserves!
That thing came by my house just off of I-40 in Arkansas. He mentions junction I-540 and I-40 are 2 miles from my home off of Exit 5 in Arkansas. Sorry I missed it. Jimmy, you are a piece of work!
It is so nice to see CZcamsrs working together. Jimmy, don't judge Gentry's driving skills. He knows what he's doing.
Dude is like the Joker burning cash.
THE POTENTIAL TO CAPITALIZE IN THE FUTURE THOUGH....ITS PAID FOR ITSELF ALREADY...
Emily, that must be new math. It has done nothing but cost and that will continue with the renovation. Hope it does somehow pay for itself down the road.
@@TheFOHMan A good bit of money is being made back by all the views these videos are getting. I won't be shocked if Jimmy eventually makes a decent profit from this project.
@@TheFOHMan ANYTHING ELVIS HAS TOUCHED IS GOLD...HOWS THAT FOR SOME MATH...
@@emilymatt9999 well, likely he never touched this
You can always use the tail section has a trailer. Then use the fuel tanks as storage
It's sad the jet was only a mile from my house here in Roswell and I missed meeting tim and jimmy!! Glad something is being done with it though!! Can't wait to see the videos!!
everyone involved in this plane.hey my hats off to you guys gentry trucking jimmy all of you guys it was amazing and breathtaking to watch.I couldnt get enough of it.The history alone is crazy!i wanted to add more but windows 11 needs a a update in 2 mns or else!.are you kidding it wont let me choose later all greyed out for later but i love you guys thanks for the cool videos!
I don't think I have ever seen anything as dodgy as this! What could possibly go wrong? Glad it all worked out.
I wouldn't use hydraulic jacks with any aircraft without any form of mechanical lock (usually its a threaded collar) incase of leaks. If one goes down it could roll right off, damage a component or stress an airframe! Good luck with the project!
Stress on the airframe don't matter one bit. It's.never fly again so who care?
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Clearly this aircraft is far beyond worries of stress, but if it falls it still won't do it any good! I was referring to jacking aircraft in general considering his other projects. Just hope to impart some advise to stop future disaster striking.
Loving the videos, what ever you do with Elvis plane know it will be awesome ,little disappointed it won't be able to fly again but it's ok there will be great things come from this can't wait, know Elvis is looking down smiling away!👍👑👏👏
That is one truck driver. Amazing how skilled they really are. My friend is a truck driver, and he can back a van into a spot I didn't think my pickup truck would fit.
Jimmy you are sincerly keeping the American dream alive buddy ! You are an awesome dude man ! :)
When you say dream,do you mean nightmare lol.what a mission
keeping the "American dream" alive in what way exactly?
@@EpicJake07 American dream
the ideal by which equality of opportunity is available to any American, allowing the highest aspirations and goals to be achieved.
He's destroying an iconic plane because he's too cheap to fix it. Not very impressive if you ask me.
@@thegoat9473 it's been dead for 35 + years and nobody wanted it... And it was beyond repair if you saw the video... It's his now and he get's to do what he wants with it. If you wanted it back in the sky, you should have bought it and spent the near 5 million dollars to get it there.
Love what your doing ❤keep it up.The world would be a better place with more JIMMYS in it !!!
LOL! Looks like a pile of scrap metal to me. A fool and his money.
Amazing Jimmy!!! You even hired Tim Gentry,,,Heck Ya! Mighty Fine Brother!!! Press Onward with Pride,,,You All are in My Turbo Truck Heart, oh Ya and My Airplane and Music Heart!!! Shine Onward!!!
Someone needs to make a belly tank race car out of one of those fuel tanks
Sounds like a collaboration with Mike patey would be in order. That would be awesome to get his ideas on the build
He has no time for that
Ain't nothin but a hound dog cry in all the time she is beautiful sir !!!!!!
Impressive attitude. You can do it Jimmy!
Bad idea Jimmy
I love Jimmy's World and I'm really glad he got this jet. But, does anyone else feel weird about the direction of the build? Idk. Maybe it's just me. Kinda feels like the wrong direction to go for such an interesting piece of history. Would love to hear others opinions, though!
It's a half baked and immature plan both financially and historically speaking.
@@DoomTrooperTV that's what I was thinking.
Balls of steel!! Most people couldn’t stomach what your doing!! Hat off to you and I definitely see the final vision. It would be cool if you did some kinda 40’s cab over engine thing. That would be so cool if you could drive it from the actual pilot seat!!
If you ever do a tour for locals please let me know. Love to see that in person. 😊
234grand im just baffled that you spent that much on something that most people
do not even know about. One of his concert outfits or one of his Harleys but this thing im just following to see what this will turn out LMAO ....
I think the tail section needs to be a tow behind "Cargo" trailer so it stays with the RV. I bet the old fuel tanks could be oriented parallel to the fuselage on the underside to act as a cargo hold and to cover the running gear. Are you using that free motorhome you got awhile back for a chassis?
I was thinking splice the tail section back on. What happened to the tail feathers? I think if you still have those, you could make them "stubby" to meet the 8.5ft width and 12.5 ft height limitations. I agree with Justin that the wing tanks could cover up the road-worthy "undercarriage".
I'm truly ready to see what's next!! You have got me hooked!!
Hi Jimmy really enjoying these videos on the Elvis jet and can't wait for next thanks.
I can’t believe your not crying over buying that pile of sheet metal
The Chanel goonsquad fixed a Porsche that had a lot of body damage on it they cut up all the damage pieces 1000 pieces to be exact sold each one on their website a hundred dollars a piece and that's just a little CZcams channel and yes thay sold every piece for a hundred bucks each
240k and chopped it up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jimmy is the proud owner of the Elvis jet.
You wouldn't understand....
They powered it up. Had it not been left to the elements as it was this bird would fly.
My question is what's the point of this wreck
Name it the hound dog are blue swayed shoes. I have a RV perfect for it if you don't have one already would donate for the cause lol has a 454 and the generator and engine runs good.
*Suede*
You can't go wrong with a big-block Chevy. 😎
Awesome watching this wild ride! Good stuff!
Great bunch of guys Jimmy I follow you and Bruce etc can’t wait to see what the build turns into sure going to create a great attraction stay safe and well Jimmy from UK
Jimmy, what license agreement(s) have you procured from Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE)? You do know that you can't even use the name 'Elvis' without approval/license. It will be interesting to see the reception by EPE, and exactly what they will approve/license - if anything - for this endeavor. So, may we assume you have been in contact with EPE and provided at least a Business Plan or a preliminary MOU?
You are only partially correct. The use of the name "Elvis Presley" or surname of "Presley" is closely guarded by EPE. However, the name "Elvis", is not. The Copyright laws of the United States recognize the word "Elvis" as common verbage. The United States Patent and Trademark Office does not and will not grant exclusive license to common or proper names.
Although Elvis Presley Enterprises does have exclusive use of the terms "Elvis Presley", "Elvis Presley Enterprises", "Graceland" and "Elvis Presley's Graceland", this does NOT prevent the use of "Elvis" in the singular term. If it was the case of the word "Elvis", then that would mean no one could name a child "Elvis".
If they don't grant a license to use the terms mentioned above, he can still use "Elvis", since there is no such trademark on the first name.
@@CJOlin He is not just naming the plane/enterprise 'Elvis', but the entire plan centers around the Elvis dynasty. He has ignored my posts and concentrated on those of his clueless sycophants. He just might have an old scrap plane that under no circumstances can be marketed - directly or implied - with Elvis Presley.
You require a better understanding of Intellectual Property Law.
@@lonestarhog7407 What happens if you take the finished project outside the United States, ie Mexico, China, Europe etc. Could he advertise it as Elvis Presley Jet?
@@sanfranciscobay No! It was manufactured in the USA and must abide by its Intellectual Property Laws. Also, EPE owns the same registered rights in virtually every country. There is no escaping it. If Jimmy has no agreements with EPE and spends a considerable sum refurbishing the aircraft he will be in a financially hopeless situation. EPE could also issue a Cease and Desist on the whole project. He could restore the junk, but have no reference to Elvis Presley.
Surely, Jimmy has the necessary agreements/licenses from EPE for this project, including at least an DOU/MOU prior to the purchase. Right, Jimmy? 🙄
@@lonestarhog7407 China does not recognize US Copyright, intellectual property etc correct? So could he move the plane to China and do business there?
I am curious what jimmy’s wife thinks about the Elvis jet.
I agree. That's a lot of money to spend.
This is Jimmy's new address and Jimmy's new ex wife wants alimony 😂 lol
Hates it and wonders what the he's he's doing with such trash
I know, she thinks it is an awesome idea and supports him all the way.
Semi’s, tractors, and airplanes. There couldn’t be a better channel 😂🎉
I wish I can be there to lookup your E. P. Jet. Nice and cool
That plane could of flown again. The fact that engines had already been retrofitted to one befor was ignored.
Nope itll never be airworthy thats why it was sittin.
@Hadley Scott McIntyre actually it could of been made airworthy. I am into old airplanes
@@erickricharson5196 for an absurd amount of money? sure! if you paid for it, then maybe
The prototype had two Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojets,
@@GRHDA what jetstars up to date?
Video of some truck drivers standing around talking.
I am amazed great job now one of the best things about it is it’s undercover out of the weather it’s found a home thumbs up from Australia 🇦🇺🙋🏼♂️👍🏼🇦🇺
You just said the perfect name. “The Elvis Mobile “ ,nothing else would do it justice! 😁
What a waste.
This is awesome! You got it #Clear(of)Truck :D Looking forward to see its transformation.
I'm glad to see somebody doing something useful with this plane. I first saw the inside of this plane back in 2009 while working for AAR in Roswell NM.
The red shag carpeting screamed 70s.
except it was installed by a later owner, not Elvis.
I woke up a few days ago hearing a line from the song, "King of the Road" in my Spirit. Sounds good to me!
Soooo lookin forward to following ur journey with the king Jimmy mate
Jimmy, take a look at a chassis of a Crown bus. They have a Detroit Diesel 6-71 that lies flat amidship (pancake) of the frame. The frame is low to the ground, and it also comes in a tandem rear axle model. The 6-71 is easy on fuel and has good power, and a pancake engine will keep it out of the way so you'll have to cut and design around.
"east bound and down loaded up and trucking..." 34:10 I can't believe Tim couldn't remember "Smokey & the Bandit" !! He must be tired...
I’m really liking the couch pillow shims you used.
Great video guys. A gang of really skilled guys. Enjoyed highly.
Sweet! I live out in Roswell close to the boneyard where it was sitting. Didn't know if it was still there or not, but I always wanted to buy it myself. Lol 😅
The Elvis Express has entered the building. Reminds me of the time I had to use a m816 wrecker to pull a head off of a Cobra Helicopter back in 1975 at Simmons Army Airfield when I was stationed at Ft Bragg with the 18th Aviation Company. My secondary MOS was 63b.
Que traduscan el video a espanol porfabor.
Amazing the Quality of Front Landing Gear Locched Installed. Still able to Dolly !! Wheel an Deal Sir Jimmy
WOW that amazing...
Can't wait to see every video-steps of making this to 'back to life and love'
I'm looking forward to seeing the RV :)
Excellent skills
Total pro's at their Trade, Well done Mates👍👍
Jimmy has that young man crazy energy , whatever he comes up with will be streamlined and sleeker than dolphin .
Go Jimmy !!!
I can see it now Jimmy and Elvis on tour
In the Elvis Bus 👍
Oddly you never see the two of them together at the same time.... hmmm
I only wished with all your knowledge of planes that someway you could have gotten past the FAA just due to who owned this jet. The company that inspected should. Have known in advance about the noise the engines put out and the part that was missing not to mention no one made the engines were no longer available and the frame rot not making it air worthy thus giving you hope that from the beginning should have stopped and let you know instead of going over all the parts needed to get it back in the air wasting your time.
If Japan can build an airport on top of the ocean that even survived a 7.2 magnitude earth quake this is constantly sinking an a typhoon that some company could fix the major problems with this jet. I heard there were 2 engines in Elvis’s museum that if still in tact could be used and maybe find 2 different engines to use that this jet could be given special permission to attend air shows.
You know that if fundraisers were asked for that millions of people would send money just to get it in the air again.
If we can go to the moon surely their is a company that produce the metal to fix the air frame with some type of metal to fix the structure of this jet just to get their name added to who helped getting it flying. Love your show!❤❤❤
Looks like an awsome project. The question is there really enough room in that small storage unit to turn it into an rv roller? not much room to work around it.
