Dude we’re gonna need ruby shirts now! 😂
Just gonna say you can get better sounding buds when compared to Raycons 💀
So awesome to see Ruby back in the fleet🦅🇺🇲🔥
Always makes my day when you drop a new video. And I would love to see the House Build series on this channel in the future.
@@dave6429 can confirm raycons kinda suck mine keep having a issue where one is way more quiet then the other and often need to be rebound due too cutting in and out
That little turbski walking around is going to have the best collection of extended uncles ever.
Yea....he doesn't have a prayer of turning out normal! Good for him and what a cute little kid he is!
Not to mention his future group of friends is potentially already in place with James' 3 kids and Cooper's son.
Can you imagine the childhood lil Ripski is gonna have 😧🤙. The coolest kid at school his whole dam life 😂🤣👏.
@@KTMGREG55 Fastest kid in the South East
@@funkyjunk22cant forget georges boys too
Ruby was one of my favorite builds with the junkyard truck engines. Glad she still lives.
I started watching the channel post ruby, I watched the build it was so informative
The Leroy build was way better
Went from being super sad that it was not the original engine to, well let's throw some boost down its gullet
@@jpa1282 hell yeah brother! I was riveted while he built that thing, and still my fav cleeter vid is when him and Jeremy are street tuning after he installed the twin turbos...
It just sounded so awesome and looked so fast
Dude ruby was what got me really hooked onto the channel. I watched every once and on his channel but ruby got me hooked
Zach is one of my favorites. He's so humble, but I know just how tedious and time consuming good wiring is. And he works incredibly hard. An all around great guy.
He's a Badass, you beat to that comment💪💪
All the high excitement with Ruby, then everything slows down for the special moment James takes the time to show Ripper how to hook up the strap. If that wasn't the sweetest thing. Maddie looks so happy and healthy. Best wishes for Ruby and the new baby.
I wanted to see Jackstand show Ripper how to set the wheel chocks! 🤣
So wholesome seeing little rip excited to be in the shop. That kid is going to go places in this world.
Just imagine bring your dad to school day
Going places and fast in the future 🤣
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist-you're in literally every comment reply section with the same spam. Go away.
I'm pretty sure any of us would be hyped to be there in the shop rips just got the inside track😂
Everything handed to him on a platter just like daddy 😂
As a new father watching James and cleet interacting with ripp makes my heart warm. Dads in their prime 👑
Maximum Dad Energy.
wonder what his first word is? daddy chevy or ford?
@@extec101forget first word. His first words will be "Hell Yeah Brother" 😂
@@NGATVEFCU hehe that might be true.
I have a 16 year old. Still brought a smile to my face, not gonna lie.
Cleetus is the dad we all wish we had growing up. Owns a race track, builds race cars, tons of off and on road toys, some of the coolest friends in the industry, and arguably one of the best group of guys to grow up around. What a life that kid has and doesn't even know it yet. Give em hell Rip!
Shout out to us kids who grew up with a single mom! 😂
I would not ask for a different Dad, but he would be a great relative???
Oh fuck really the dad of ads more like it .. sold out crap
Can you imagine little rip in 20 yrs? Ya, my dad's cleetus, whatever... Watch this! Then pulls some crazy stunt. Cleetus in the stands, no hair on top, still rockin the mullet.... Shouting "that's my boy right there! Hell ya rip!" I personally can't wait.
@@jimpeterson8393 exactly! I'm here for it!
Found myself smiling this whole video. Ruby coming back, the boys messing with each other, even the oil pressure drama was on point. Hell yeah!
High on freedom, low on oil pressure.
I happen to have a shirt with that on it…
Brings back some memories from-a few years ago
@@dochaze1 that’s a good catchphrase. Until you’re replacing rod bearings that is!
When you remember George is an actual mechanic and not just the personality hire
Would have been worth it just for the personality even if he wasn't
I was thinking it had been a while since I seen George get his hands dirty wrenchin!
Man Sam is killing it with the detail work !! Ruby looks like she has a new paint job ! Even the headlights look new .
Was just about to say that! Looking like a new car
It does look good. I think I would look really good with a black hood. Be an awesome street car to cruise around in.
@@Ada-zn3pw I really hope they put some kind of hood back on it looks so much cleaner that way .
I don’t what’s cooler ruby being back or watching Ripper in there showing the boys how it’s done. Great job guys.
I remember when 1000 hp was a really big deal on this channel. This is probably the best automotive channel on CZcams. Struck gold when I stumbled across the Florida kid and his turbo whistles. Good job everybody. Welcome back Ruby.
Except Garret is not feom Florida lol
A good old midwestern kid from Kansas
@@Boozer632Nebraska
Don't matter where he's from he's a full blown florida man now
Ruby don’t have a belt screech, she’s got that bald Eagle 100% freedom screech 🤘🏻🇺🇸
@@GidDreebrother let the man have a joke
Cleets little man is already smarter than half the people younger generations. His kid is going grow up to be one hell of a car guy and racer. Plus its great to see Ruby up and kicking again. Yall fellas gave Ruby one hell of a Birthday as the Aussies would say.
Sucks to see little Rip without ear protection. Dads big goofin, Big yikes. 😬
Careful now, Garret is delete comments left and right in this video. @@ToeJammer-ge2zs
@@ToeJammer-ge2zsyeah he doesn’t want tinnitus, my dad never made me wear it around the job site and my ears always ring.
You’ve done a lot of really amazing things but watching the next generation walk around in that shop wanting to help is probably the coolest. Congratulations man that’s an accomplishment that can’t be measured
Ruby screeching like a whole nest of angry baby Bald Eagles on startup is always beautiful
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist-Jesus didn't want us to repent.. he wants us to go fast!! Hence the reason we always say "Jesus Christ!" when we make a wicked fast pass!! Fck yeah, Jesus!! God is awesome, but keep that shit to yourself. Don't be a bible Karen..
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- Who actually wrote this? And can you prove this is correct??
That's not a belt screach, that's a bad bearing in the alternator !!!!
I remember when Ruby was just a red corvette on an auction website. 😂 man from a truck motor to junk yard engines to the machine she is today!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Lol right Ruby went from being "struck by lightning" to being lightning!! haha
yea, total junkyard POS to one one of the best D-N-D cars in the country.. Ruby, ftw...
Hell yea, truck engine to a jem!!
Junk to Gem for sure. I can't believe it's been so long since she was up and running.
@@michaelbowen463it wasn't junk yard quality it was quite clean and still is it was just the dodgy truck engine that was in it.
Ruby is looking better than she ever has! One hell of a transformation from the auction vette with the junkyard engines. It's good to have her back. Hell yeah brother!!!
Rip is my favorite person on this entire channel! That kid has a contagious smile. You can't help but smile back every time that lil guy is on camera looking so darn happy!
Seriously! rips smile is infectious!!
youngest > oldest > rest haha But yeah gotta love that kid. cant believe hes walking arround already. He's a early one! My nephew still slides on his knees and is a little older.
I know it's been a while, but bringing LS George on after whatever happened all that time ago was one of the best moves this channel has ever made. I appreciate the hell out of this whole crew, but it wouldn't be complete without our boy George.
I can't put into words how happy I am to see our girl Ruby back and breathing!
there 2nd ever vid with ruby pulled me into the channel so im over joyed to hear she's back on the track kicking but and taking names
@@crobbin86 I was around for the procharged ram and a little bit of the c7 content, but I didn’t start following every single upload until ruby came along. Something about her history and the “junkyard” build of her just locked me in
I can, 7 seconds baby! Let's go! 🤣
And screeching like always!
Zach is a wiring wizard! The Cleetus crew is so solid. The depth y’all have, it’s obvious you guys love your craft.
It is so nice to see ruby running again. We do need a ruby 2.0 though! We need to see her deep in the 7s! Once y'all get some time that is! Such a beautiful red Corvette!!!
Always the most consistent. Including the problems. She's going to be the one that wins everything
Thank you from bringing her back, Cleetus. She is a special car for a lot of us. The only thing she is missing is a giant Tractor Flap, LOL. Seriously tho...thank you.
You gotta love a 25-minute Cleetus video.
The best for sure.
I could go for some 40 min vids!
With commercial I want 30 mins Like an episode of awesome.
It was only 24, so...
@jesserhoades6906 yeah those older vids had some length
If this don't get 100 million likes for that lil man u all are crazy..HES GONNA GO FAR INLIFE..Great memories..Be safe.peace
Ruby is the reason I was introduced to your channel I clicked on your video that was titled “someone swapped a truck motor in my auction corvette!!” And the thumb nail was you holding your head and standing beside ruby in the auction yard. Now I watch every video you post! 👍
Could you guys please do a video series on the cars? The history of each of the drag cars, where it came from, what you planned, each iterative build, that kind of thing. You make this stuff look so easy and it isn't. Also your crew deserves some mad props. You might also consider doing an in depth video where you explain how you found each person, hired them away for their unique and indispensable talents and how they have contributed to the team. Not just the 'Faces' but also some of the unsung heroes behind the scenes.
Captain Obvious here and...umm...the channel IS the video history. Just go back and watch the videos 😜
@@MrMice... Link me to where I can watch the compilation of Ruby vids then, Cpt Obvious.
@@duanedragon2 brother, ya missed the point (and the joke). But to help ya out, here's a hint... go back about 7-8 years, start scrolling up, when you see a red car on the thumbnail...stop, start there. Best of luck 🫡
@@duanedragon2 exactly almost all the "History" is already uploaded live action style. Maybe a look back at channel highlights with some more behind the scene commentary could be entertaining.
This is a great idea in theory. But in practice the way this channel operates and films things it wouldn’t work. Would have to have a team like project prime come in and shut people down to do interviews, ask the RIGHT questions to get the gears turning. Film beauty shots of the cars, going through old footage. It’s a HUGE task that would be a HUGE undertaking for garret. You gotta think about how he makes this content. Either him or George picks up the camera and he shifts through it and edits it. Classic CZcams point and shoot. Would take a lot of garrets free time to make a video series like your asking and honestly just taking a SMALL educated guess I don’t even think the man has the time. Between family, filming, actual business management from phone calls to employees we never see on camera, the flight certifications, traveling to events the list goes on man that’s just grazing it dudes STUPID busy. Would love to see videos like that but it legit takes a whole separate crew of people to do that.
Man, Ruby is one of my all time favorites. Great to see her back in action, and great to see George doing some actual wrenching instead of being stuck behind the camera!
Always a blessing seeing lil rip walking around. He sure is growing up fast🥹
I have to say without a doubt Ruby is my favorite car in the fleet! Seeing her go from an auction vette with a truck motor to full blown racecar with full custom wiring is amazing! Love the Vide Keep up the great work. Oh and give Zach a raise!!!
Finally is my life complete! Ruby is back! ❤
By the way, fun to see George fix on the cars!
Ruby was my favorite as she is so reliable with good launches and great aerodynamics. Can't wait to see her eclipse 200 mph and higher in the future!
Ruby was the most dialed in car that Cleet and them ever had. You could put anyone in the seat whether they've gone down a drag strip or not and she'd run 8's for them all day long. Always hooked up and went. She was such a good car and I hope they keep her around and do a Ruby 2.0 build like he said in this video.
@@camaro25 You beat me to it, didn't Diesel Dave and Heavy D go 7s? This car made me respect those year Corvettes !
This is one of your best videos. Showing the depth of talent of each and every one of your team is amazing. Then to include the next generation of cleeters. Showing the talent of SAM to restore the finish of the body is amazing. Then to hear RUBY on the dyno was overwelming. She is ready to show everyone how talented the team is. Great video.
The one thing I've learned from all the car build CZcams videos I've watched, make sure the wiring is clean and easy to get to and well marked!!
Can't lie. Ruby has been my favorite car on the channel since you got her. Happy to see her again.
Zach is a legend brother he gave Ruby the A+ treatment in a matter of days with that wiring and everything! You have the perfect team of goofy geniuses!
You can tell that Lil Cleet is fired up about working on a hot rod. That youngun has a high horse power filled life ahead.
Ruby is when I started following the channel, it warms my heart to see her turbo spinning again!
Ruby's back!! My favorite build, she was so dialed at points that cleet let newbies drive her ! Glad she's back
My dad’s at Stanford waiting for his heart transplant surgery/donor and your videos always keeping me entertained as I sit here with him. Helllll yeahhhh brother 🫡
Hope everything goes well brother!
Praying for your dad buddy, god bless
Prayers for you and your father, brother.
Praying that they get him sorted soon. All the best.
I hope everything goes great with the surgery
Crazy how far this channel has come. From putting turbo whistles on the c7 to have a fleet of cars a race track and like 20 people on the payroll and now little Ripper and one on the way? It’s amazing to see
Your kids running around the shop and you guys taking the time to include them is the best thing you can do! Took my youngest daughter with me to work every day for several years before she started school. At 6 she has better work ethic then most men! Let your kids grow up in a shop and they will turn out great!
That girl ruby is back. I miss seeing her going down the dragstrip. She is such a gem to the fleet. Glad you guys got her going for us. The fans. Thank you!
I'm so happy Ruby's back. I started watching when you got her from the auction and got in contact with the original owner. She's basically the car that started my loyal viewership of the Cleetus channel. I hope you and the team pull her all the way apart, tube chassis that ol' girl and make a big tire car out of er. The channel needs a big tire care. That's what i was hoping you guys were gonna do to McFlury. But i think Ruby would be an excellent big tire car. Cheers.
Sooo Happy to See Ruby fired up! Can't wait to see her back making rips!! LETS GOOOOO!!!
Ruby is how I found the channel, I'm glad to have her back!
its amazing how professional this shop and the boys skills are now compared to a few years ago
Understanding you need to keep the videos flowing, but THIS is what I’m here for
I mean... his first video is him just looking at someone else's car, it could have ended up being like 1320video or other enthusiast channels.
It's not a drag racing channel, the channel is called "cleetus mcfarland" not "cleetus McFarland racing" or whatever.
We're just following the man's journey and interests.
But yes, I also love the ruby and drag racing content. Plus the tear down and upgrade content. I don't mind when they break stuff because I love watching them fix and fabricate.
me too lol
It's certainly my favorite content but I'm sure a successful racing season for them is spending as little time as possible having to rebuild
Same
YES! Ruby is FINALLY back! This car is the reason I started watching this channel. Can't wait to see her rip down the track doing what ruby does so well, go A to B looking sexy ASF! Let's goooooo! Rip is getting so big! Cherish those moments.
Let’s goooo I’m so happy to see ruby getting life put back in her
Im pumped over Ruby version 15, she bringing back the vibes already. I cant wait to see her ripping down the track effortlessly. The whole team killed it. Good job, good luck, and hell yeah brother!
yeah same, cant wait for them pulls ;D probably soon
5:26 Ruby aah fourteen point seven one two - Jackstand Jimmy
Cleeters humble honesty is one of his best traits. Also I love watching you all get along and be happy even in the face of adversity. What a team.
2 minutes into the video and gosh dang, the fleet is looking CLEAN! Sam is the man!
Ruby was running last time George twisted a wrench. It's good to see him in front of the camera again. He's a very smart man and I like seeing him on the 1's and 2's. And jackstand right behind him. Awesome team.
Who says he doesn't wrench. For all we know cam is just his side job
You must not pay much attention to the videos. George is always wrenching 🤷🏻♂️
I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say I've been waiting on the update video since you announced Ruby's return! Thank you for including the first fire up, 2 step and dyno in one video! HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Great to see ruby coming back the life 😊 And good to see little rip In the shop learning and having fun with all his uncles 😊
Having ruby back in the line up makes me soooo happy!!
Ruby is a channel original and shouldnt be stuck on the bench.
Love that ruby is back!
Also, watching james with lil ripper was amazing. Kid is growing so fast.
Ruby really needs the tractor flap back
Sounds good. Nice pulls
Hats off to the team for getting Ruby back together so quickly. She was always the most consistent car in the fleet so a 8.50 bracket car sounds perfect.
Honestly, never change ruby. Dont get overly ambitious with her like the other cars, just keep her as she is and let her do what she does best.
Run consistent and win competitions.
Nah man let ruby eat! She needs a 6!!
@6ix2tokyo Think she'd be best at 7's . 6's belong to Leroy and mullet gotta avoid putting them up against each other
@@6ix2tokyo I think they should just let her be a trophy queen, and then do another junkyard build on another c6 to do all the wild stuff
I 100% agree! She should be the solid 8.5 second car that anyone can drive!
@@MyWasteOfTimeshe was already a solid 7.5 second car though
dang dude ol cleet listened to the fans and brought ol ruby tf back!!!!! man hearing that turbo spool gave me chills frick dude!!! thank you cleet this was a awes vid!!
I have been watching Ruby since day one...crazy how far she has come!
Rips growing up so fast 😢 seems like just yesterday we all got to meet him for the first time.... I told myself I wasn't going to cry today!!! 😭
Shoooo buddy!! We got Leroy & Ruby back up and running at the same time and it’s been a minute! The F1 smokems and the whole fleet of cars is looking real good 👍🏼 HYB 🦅🇺🇸🏁
Ready for side by side sixes!
@@lirwin89 You already know! I remember when they ran the 7’s side by side, crazy how time flies
The two og’s back in the game
Cannot wait to see Ripp growing up around the shop, and with all the boys!!!
he gonna turn out good thats for sure
Jackstands kids are gonna be wild too
I wish that he would keep the kids anonymous
whens Ripps sibling due
@billmadison2032 Odd stance to take 🤔 He's not a monarch or politician that may have a stance on something coloring people's opinions of them that affects the kid...he's a CZcams celeb with good, wholesome content and loves his friends and family. I'd think most of the guys watching are probably fathers and love to see him have his wife, and kid around and involved at a young age. Even if it is just watching Dad goof off.
I think it's brilliant they take little man to the shop and track giving him life experience most people dream of and the vehicles he's gonna be so stoked when he can drive them
So happy to see Ruby 14.712 back in action, I have missed the ole girl! Now all we need is a Leroy and Ruby side by side drag rip to bring back the good ole memories :) Great work Cleeter Crew!
About midway through is why I love watching you guys. You don't edit the living shit out of all your videos. You show your successes AND your failures. The failures come through as better content for the channel anyway! 😂 Thanks, Cleet & Team! Awesome seeing the Mrs. and little one pop in, too. Best of luck, fellers!
I found this channel when Leroy's record-breaking video was recommended to me, but Ruby was the first build I followed from the beginning. It's good to see this car back.
Thank you for bringing the lightning struck Corvette that had yellow headlights missing turn signal marker with a truck engine 😂 and now it's Leroy's old motor insane
Hell yeah brother thank you 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yeeaahhhhhhh, RUUBBBBYYYYY!!! MY 2ND favorite car!!!! Leroy bein my 1st!!!! I'm so glad to see her running a hell of a lot better!! Ppl better watch our Ruby has a lot winning to catch up on!!!! Great Job McFarland Racing Crew!! GOD Bless everyone!! Thank you for letting us see Rip he's gettin soooo big!!!!
It's so good seeing Ruby back better than ever! There's something about that offset single turbo setup that I just love, it just looks so clean and functional, hope you keep that layout in the future.
That last pull sounded absolutely beautiful. The amount of air this motor's breathing in, you can literally hear it. Bravo.
I love how Ruby sounds, that last pull was epic!
Good ole Ruby still kicking out an easy thousand horsepower. Great job everyone, even little Ripper. Can't wait to see this doing some quarter mile testing before race week.
I can’t love this video enough! My entire male, car lovin’ life I have hated on Vettes after the 60’s. RUBY has 100% changed that. I have adored this rig since day 1 of her introduction to the channel. Thank you ALL for giving this resilient, red rocket the attention she deserves. 👍
Hell yeah brother, good to see Ruby getting some love again.
SHOUTOUT to Luis Ruiz on the Cleetus Tech Support, literally 13 minute email response sending me exactly where i needed to go with no BS, SHOUTOUT to the ENTIRE CLEETUS CREW! Phenomenal work all!!!
Your garage is so cool. Reminds me of my buddies garage. We just had so much fun working on hot rods and to much fun.
I love how Cletus knows what he’s talking about!
i must say, Ruby is looking absolutely Chipper....You guys learned a thing or two... loving this version
I’ve never watched a video from cleetus so fast before so glad to see ol ruby back
Being a parent is the best privilege anyone can have. It's awesome seeing your close friends and family be a part of your channel and life. Good luck with everything!
Great to see Ruby back and rip getting early training !
15:48 that little crack of a smile after the high five makes me want another kid.. my son is 6 and I miss those subtle moments... it's so cool man. Much respect to you and Madi for sharing Little Ripper with us. I love it!
Keep the “needle” away from the well, know!!
Thank you I have loved Ruby from the day you picked her up and she slid across the garage floor. She looks so good. Nothing better than a Red Corvette!!
I love seeing leroy and ruby back at it. It's like to good old days. Great work guys
It's so good to see Ruby back up and running! I'm excited!! When you guys bought Ruby over 5 years ago, that was the first video I ever saw on this channel, and I've been hooked ever since! 😁🙌🏼
Love the friendship between James and George 😊
22:45 that looks great with the gray wheels, smoked lights. Clean!!
Thanks for bringing back Ruby. Great team effort!!
Glad to see Ruby running again. She's my favorite vehicle in the fleet!
Ruby is what really got me hooked.. great to see ‘er back in action.
Cleet it is so good to see Rip running around and hanging with his Dad & his boys. My little boy Jordan and daughter Torrie do the exact same with me & my boys. Love it mate.
Thank you so much Cleeter, great to see Ruby back and better than ever!
Ruby is back!!!! All we need is the cleet sippin a bartel skeet and we'll back to the old days!!!
