Today we got to visit Consuela up in Kentucky as she undergoes the process of removing NINE layers of paint. There was a TON of paint and bondo all over this thing... but now it's looking great!

Crown vic ute burn out car!!!
Put a live reminder video hear so dont forget
I was in my yard earlier in the week I saw a black Blackhawk fly over my place in Morehead KY fling toward Prestonsburg earlier in the week I said there goes heavy D just joking I be damned if it wasn't Cletus and the crew
Brother I paid the 19.99 just cause. Hope it and all my likes an comments are worth it.
Posting videos everyday with all the projects you’ve got going on, all the recent events and a newborn is so insane. We appreciate your work Cleet!
He's a great example for a hard working patriot that lives the American dream.
Would rather have a day or two between and longer, more in depth videos. These feel rushed and just put out for content...
even more so maddie is a real one with the new born. holding down the fort!
It's the month of freedom which is videos everyday
This comment needs to be pinned brother! I can’t imagine the stress
Paul did a kickass job with the camera.
Found Paul’s alt account
Honestly super smooth filming. I'm sure the camera helps some, but he was very mindful.
I've gotta mention this. Paul is an overall kickass person! Just what a guy, hell yeah!
Paul is awesome. Another great addition to the extended freedom family
Not quite George, but still on point with the commentary and heckling!
meeting, befriending, and getting involved with Paul has been a great addition to the channel and I'm sure we all hope to see alot more of him in the future
Shout out to my boy painting Consuelo wearing his badass Vintage 1988 Daytona race week T-shirt🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏼
I appreciate Garretts appreciation for what he has, and what he built. Too often we see youtubers and other social media folks get money and they are not the same as they were in the past. Glad he was raised well, and has a good head on his shoulders
Amen. You can tell Garrett is honestly grateful for what he does and to relieve the amount of support he's getting. I'm just glad to see there's still decent people in this crazy world.
I think he's one of those people who got money and ended up the same guy, but with money, instead of becoming a "guy with money" if that makes sense. Same vibe, just more resources
@@justinwebster7761 I'm sure Maddie and the Kids help keep him grounded as well!
I love that you are putting the OLD Venezuelan flag before the Chavez era with 7 stars. Crazy Chavez added an 8th one to represent the Province of Guayana. Venezuela continues to dispute half of current Guyana as their territory despite TWICE being denied by the international court in the Hague. To most of us older Venezuelan, it was just a political move to rally support for his 'Bolivarian revolution'. He's dead, but the movement he started continues to dominate the country's politics. Maybe one day not too far in the future we'll see democracy return to Venezuela.
I love your videos, man. The Indy800 event was a blast.
The current sabre rattling over Guyana will not end well. Stay safe brother.
Matching color schemes and patterns for all of your vehicles is IDEAL for your product brand of FREEDOM!! Great job guys.
Does this guy have a CZcams? The paint guy. Man that was so satisfying watching that paint just peal off. Like watching the cars get dipped. HELL YEAH BROTHER 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love Paul. One of my favorite guests. just has such a cool presence
When goobers say real recognize real, Paul is REAL. How can you not love a dude who is as real as it gets. And not in the youtube/influencer world, but the real world.
2:54 my son ran inside couple weeks ago saying he saw Heavy D chopper. I could hear it and could tell it was a UH60 but I told him “naw he lives on the other side of the country”. Well I can see the hill top portion I own in the video. So now I guess I have to tell my boy he was right.
"Well I can see the hill top portion of I own." - Nailed it.
@@eriklarson9137 was going to say the mountain on the east side of my land but thought people may take that wrong.
Man thats wild! Ironically when i first saw Heavy Ds blackhawk (in videos) i thought to myself itd be cool to spot him flying someday, then i was like id never be able to tell with that blackout paint job short of using freely available ADSB tracking software and verifying the N number.
Kiddo's got some good eyes picking Heavy's hawk out of the line up.
He knows the deal
@@100GTAGUYYou think he knows any other?
I live in Arkansas and that guy is by far the most polite aircraft bodyman I've ever seen.
I saw Sam at the post office the other day and what an amazing, polite, just awesome man. Hes definitely right about one thing.. if it has an engine, cleetus can drive it or fly it.
I need to hear George in the Buenos Diaz voice say… Cooooonnnnsueeelaaaaaaaaa!
I think it would be more like COnsUEEEEEEEELAAAAAAAA
please NO
No we don’t. It’s silly.
yes yes
@@garyhost354 I didn't until I read this. If it annoys Karens then Georgie, let it RIP!
Seeing the paint slide off like that is oddly satisfying.
Really makes you wanna touch it but that aircraft stripper burns worse than fiberglass resin
@@zzaaaaapYeah it does lol
@@zzaaaaap I was worried with those boots, a little slop down one unnoticed.... ouch, later on.
I could smell it from here
except I am wondering where it goes? Down the drain into the ground?
worth the time just to hear such a down to earth craftsman talk his trade. Easy to see why you went with that shop.
CZcams Money is crazy. Wish I had started a channel when I was younger like so many others did. It's all about having a strong work ethic and never giving up. I'm too old to try it now. Cleetus is one hard-working dude. He has to be hardworking to be able to run a company like this. Behind the scenes is nothing but work. Proud of this man. Best automotive, aviation, RC plane, and Car content on the Tube. The guy brings it all for us.
Never too old too start a CZcams there is billions of people on this planet a lot of people will be willing to watch what you do no matter how bad, I have over 1000 subs in a year and I only post once a month and im not the best speaker... but someone somewhere will enjoy what you do.
dude cleetus i just wanted to say thank you. i was in a headon car crash on april 5 and broke my spine away from my pelvis and had to get 4in screws in my spine to hold my shit together. but i just wanted to say i love what you do. watching your channel helped me get through a month of bein bed ridin. i live north of pittsburgh pa so cant wait till im better cause im makin a road trip to the "factory freedom" LMAO! sry i loved that. hell yea brother!! keep on keepin on!
Glad you’re still with us brother! Best of luck on recovery 🦅🇺🇸
Stay safe and heal fast brother
That’s wild. Hope you recover fully and don’t get addicted to them pain meds.
Get better soon brother.
@@Edizzle15 nope already stopped taking the strong ones. im only takin aleve now. thanks for lookin out.
Spending major dollars to continue to bring us tons of great content. Think about it…. New custom Leroy body, helicopter, new 5 second race car, new airport…. Thats just what i know about. Appreciate that Cleet puts so much back into projects and content. Very long term minded. Thank you.
And how much he has sunk into RC planes in the last 6 months!! Nybody have an estimate what that B-2 is worth??😮
@@markfullerton7174 CARF models has one for $4710.
Are you a bot or a real person? Makes me wonder how little of a life people have when they post stuff like this thirsting for likes moments after the video is posted
@@Freddy_Confetti lol guessing an edit is forthcoming. Silly
Buying a plane and helicopter, on top of building a 5 second car and giving away a $100,000 truck, dude is spending MONEY money 😂
i had a buddy like that painter dude. man it instantly made me miss him. he was a painter also. audi dealership job back 15yrs ago. so cool to see someone like that now too lol
One thing I really respect about Garret as a leader is that he lets people do things their way. What I mean by that is that he pays respect to the experts that he's using and doesn't try to micro manage them from what I've seen. its how I've always operated in my business interactions and it works really well. great way to build a strong team that's confident and can make decisions independently.
That’s what you pay them for .
From auction corvettes. And blowing up key chain turbos with nitrous. To helicopters and airports what a journey this man has gone on
And building a 5 sec car
Don't forget the exhaust whistles on the c7😂 I remember the first vid he posted of Leroy, and to see he hasn't changed up like literally 99.99% of other big name youtubers, get a little bit of money and endorsements/sponsors and you can see them change more and more each video
An airport is a much bigger deal 😂@@thrifty9797
Our money and views made his dreams come true
Hell yeah brother
My Boy @Cleetus McFarland making big moves in every industry that we love so much with Air and Land and. I know he must be having something coming up soon on water upgrades with his and JackStands jet boats or would be awesome to see Cleetus competing in the boat trails with speed runs. It is really crazy how skilled Cleetus is when it comes to racing and boats and plane events he Already won. Thank you very much to the entire McFarland Team and Maddie also for watching two kids and giving Cleetus the space to give us the best content he can. Happy Mother's day to Maddie and all the mothers that are subscribers
Don’t forget the jet boat race team out west!
Hopefully they get their boats back for Idaho in early June
Old airframes collect paint like we used to collect stickers back in the 90's. There's a heliport near my brother's farm, it's half local work, half medical for the region, but they also have a great facility to work and repair helis. The local record is 14 layers of paint, with the airframe having never been stripped since the early 80's. Just kept on pilling paint on until it started popping one day and the owner had it. Local heli, used to spray stuff with, badly corroded on the bottom area. When i was a kid, that heli lost a skid once, found it the neighbor's field and the pilot had to land on an empty barrel, half and half. It is what it is with some owners who don't do it right or are trying to shoestring their repairs. Which... ultimately hurts the thing, i mean, that's kilos otherwise used in a different place.
Paint guys that take their time to do it right are hard to find, but worth it for how much longer their artistry lasts.
You can literally see the Transition from the character Cleetus, to pilot Mitchell the second he sits behind the controls of an aircraft. One of those dudes is way less reckless than the other one.
I truly hope to the infinite that is true, Garrett better be ice cold in a plane or helicopter. The danger factor in rotary aircraft is stupid high. Stupid.
@@pmiller7886he is ice cold bro, he can fly anything from a heli- a twin engine turbo prop airplane with passengers. He also has spent a lot of time learning auto rotation landings etc with helis so he’s in a much better position as far as safety etc then the standard heli pilot.
I call it putting my PC hat on and off
Your comment got stolen by a bot near the top
@@jdbergan I don't understand why bots would steal comments. I guess I'll take it as a compliment that a robot wants to be like me
Always sum new with Cleetus casually just hoppin in a black hawk start of the vid 😂😂
Lmao. This man said "hopping in the black hawk." And I was like "when tf did we get a black hawk?" Haha. Then I realized it was heavy D's.
'Just taking my friends Blackhawk in for servicing, no big deal'.
This is excellent, you’re doing such an outstanding job restoring this machine to its full glory and more. Vids are so good allowing us to watch and be part of the restore and build, love it! And the guys doing the work clearly are very very good at what they do, you can see and hear the passion from them. Well done team Cleetus!!!
Dude… when I see you flying the Blackhawk, not going to lie… jealous. That’s so bada**! 🇺🇸
Making sure the stars are to the left. Good man!
Like, I know there's some tax wizardry but like... the amount of money in this year's content is crazy. I love to see you and this channel do well, cleeter! ❤❤❤
No you just spend what you get. You only have to pay for what's leftover at the end of the year.
I think my favorite part about Cleetus Aviation is how safe he is about it. We know he's "safe" with the car stuff, but seeing him actual full tilt serious about something is cool.
Love that your sticking with Consuelo,
Love seeing this all come together. And I especially appreciate someone who does quality kick ass paint work! Cant wait to see this
Yow, you have a world class crew building your helicopter and another crew building your 5 sec Camaro. It's already a great year!!!
Aaaand he is installing the 7 star venezuelan flag. My man is earning my heart even more hahaha love to see the progress in this build and the clash of both my worlds. Keep it up cleet.
Nothing better than the Month of Freedom!!
Month of freedom is my favorite month thank you for all the work.
Flying your buddies blackhawk is a real test of friendship & skill
How exciting! Thanks for sharing!
I did work experience at an airfield as a high school student ~25 years ago and have a little bit of experience with that paint stripper - it it a gelatinous formulation that you paint on with a brush and leave to sit for about an hour and the paint turns to mush. We sprayed it off with a pressure cleaner (whilst wearing a full-body protective suit) and blew the airframe down with shop air and a couple of hot air blowers (like a leaf blower but with a big heating element so the air coming out was like 200 degrees celcius), then prepsol'd it immediately.
I still have a scar on my finger and my knee from touching the stripper, it starts burning IMMEDIATELY and it burns deep and fast. In the time it took for me to feel the pain, then run over to the emergency shower and rinse it off it had burned down far enough that I lost two layers of skin and got some of those lumpy bumpy scars.
It’s like a jawbreaker helicopter with all those layers. Lol 😂
The weight of all those layers alone is enough to make a performance diference
I can't even imagine... the freedom that must rip through ones body flying a blackhawk.
She's looking good. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Wow - incredible job on removing the old paint in preparation for your new paint scheme. Excited for you.
Man it's nice having a aviation place take care of you like that. They really know their shit.
You think they are working for free?
Slight correction, you were in South Carolina when stopping at Donaldson. Fun fact, Lockheed and General Electric have facilities there where C-130's & P-3 Orions have maintenance and refits done as well as a small F-16 production line.
Looking real good, professionally restored. Going to be great.
It’s going to look sweet can’t wait! Month of freedom F to the Ya!
Well have a great day everyone
I am SO loving the month of freedom daily videos!!
Stripping paint for content is dedication!!!! Starting to look amazing!
Paul did awesome behind the camera!!
George must watchout. Paul gonna replace him soon 😂😂😂
like butter.
He’s what you call a smooth operator
Almost like a pilot would be steady...
He flies helicopters and getting praise for using a camera 😂
Put the rotary from mystery machine in the jetboat!!!!! 💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥
He is going to need a bigger boat if he keeps having kids at this rate 😂
That has to be the stupidest idea I've seen yep.that would never happen to loud.
That's actually a fantastic idea. Dorito boxes like being at high revs
@jerrywilcox9890 ya because they never do anything dumb just for the fun of it on this channel lmao I hope they do it
@@gregtennysoncleeter the skeeter
Gosh I love the fricking month of freedom every year can't get enough of cleetus and wish every month was this
Consuela is my favorite of all Cleet's projects! Let's go!
Paul, “ I think I can handle it, I do video for movies sometimes” haha. What a gem.
Everybody was high within a half a mile from all the paint thinner
That's not paint thinner. The paint removers nowadays smell like citrus
@@GM6.7 good citrus would be better than just smelling paint thinner
Neat to see you visit Big Sandy. I fly out of Pikeville and visit there often.
Just got done watching the mom prix! That was awesome! Glad we got to see it! Happy mothers day and congratulations on the win Madi!
Cleetus thank you for making my day better everytime you post
X2
Very cool watching the Consuela build. Can’t wait to see it fly. 👍
I just don't know how to say this but here I go...
Garrett, you are living the dream! From a small video CZcamsr to where you are now, I personally am very proud of your accomplishments! There are 2 subscriptions I follow the most. Yours being #1. So much content that makes a 48 year old so happy for your accomplishments and motivated for.what you do. Thank you! Be safe and have fun everyday! Love your wife.and kids as much as possible and teach and share with them every opportunity!
HELL YEAH BROTHER! 😁👍
I love how skilled he is in his job, taking his time explaining everything, very nice
Alright you guys killed the "Mom prix" thank you PDS debt!! I think I'm gonna have to buy a frdmplus subscription now!!
You won't regret it, the last few have been as good or better than some of the racing on cable TV
You thanking a sponsor who’s sole aim is to make money , peasant
I never knew I needed so much helicopter content in my life, but I’m here for it! 😂
I am so glad you did not choose a Magnum PI paint scheme! God Bless America, and Freedom Factory and Cleetus! Cheers from Texas.
Mom Prix was fun to watch! Following the pace car on the inside had me rolling. 😂
Thank you for taking us all on this amazing restoration. Wow!
Your views pay for it
Imagine spending over $3000 in fuel just to go 2 states over 😂😂😂😂
Pocket change 😂
I'll settle for the prius equivalent of a helicopter.
Him filming the fill and posting it pays for 10 more fills
@@Huda88754 I dn't think they understand how business expenses work.
Hell yeah brother! Loving the month of freedom! Hands down the best content on CZcams. Excellent videos. Continually astounded by your work ethic and incredible calibre of content. I watch every single video you post as soon as I see that you’ve posted it- spreading freedom to the other side of the planet here in Australia. Love your work.
So excited to see what’s next for you, your amazing team and your happy little family. Especially keen for airfield content
I like this guy doing the work. You can tell he works at the speed of creativity and what he's capable of, and showing honesty. I want a mechanic like him 😭
Use me as a “cleeters helicopta ran kilos”. Button
For every like this comment gets I will do absolutely nothing! Haha
beautiful work guys, your EP primer is nice
The talent and levels are cool to watch unfold on the Timelapse
She is my favorite 800 size rc! It flies like no other! Can't wait to see you flying the real deal!
Hi Cleetus very pleased with the Black version of your sunglasses arrived with me in Poland and have to say very happy with them!!
I love the Dale Jr 88 Daytona T-shirt! 😮❤
Can’t wait to see it finished.
Looks good they are very thorough and doing a good job your going to have a nice chopper
Hell yeah brother Garrett I’m excited for you. You deserve it all the hard work that you do great content.

Glad to see an update on Consuela. I keep pausing and checking the background of Dave's recent video when he was at Thoroughbred to see if I could spot her.
yeehaww, snap that finish off. my jaw hit the floor. i love Cleetus's show.
