In this mind-blowing episode, I'm taking on the challenge of stretching a CRV to match the wheelbase of the El Camino. Yes, you read that right - we're cutting a CRV in half and extending it by a whopping 15 inches to accommodate the iconic El Camino body. Join me as I dive into the nitty-gritty details of this daring modification, from precision cuts down the middle of the floor to meticulous reinforcement techniques to ensure maximum strength and durability. This is automotive innovation at its most extreme, and I can't wait to share every thrilling moment with you. So buckle up and don't miss out on the action - hit that like button, leave a comment, and subscribe to BodeVision for more outrageous builds!
I think you made the right choice in stretching the Honda and leaving the El Camino looking stock .
Bro squinting till focused was hilarious
Never skipped a beat
Stretching the chassis was definitely the right way to go!
Hopefully Boosted Bois will K swap it for you to make the El-K-Mino
I think there building him a motor for civic job
ELKHO
I wondered if we were building the motor too
wouldve been easier to use a mk2 crv if he was going k swap
@fast97z24 he put a v8 in accord maybe we all wrong an gonna be awd ls
love it, not the typical boring youtube fare where everybody is building the same cars
The “Hell Chamino” I love it
I am so glad to changed your mind to lengthen the CRV vs shorten the Elco. Gonna be a sleeper!
I agree that getting the foundation nailed down is really important for driveability and safety. Very cool... I can't wait for the next episode.
Never seen anybody use dry ice before that was pretty cool
My uncle is impressed
Just found this channel, I love this build already, that bead welded panel work is minty I like stuff done properly
Awesome, thank you!
When she asks if u wanna box for your leftovers don’t mean she wanna throw hands omg I’m weak on that one bro wow. Love the channel good luck to you and god bless
Nothing better on a Sunday afternoon. Catching up on great content... 🎉
Still the best time lapse music channel on KZhead, BodieVision.
Looks like it will be stronger than both were originally... I like it. Amazing how you do all this awsome work with a handful of basic tools and a little shop... I am impressed
Hi from the uk bodie. I’m in my 50s but I still remember my mum commuting on her little Honda Camino
Man Kyle’s got one hell of a body man. Loving the channel bro
Your intro is always hilarious. Throw hands for left overs hahaha
I seen Ava miss seeing your Father daughter interaction’s. Your daughter is a funny lady. Bless y’all ❤
“Possibly turbo” thats what im talking about 🔥 saludos desde México 🇲🇽
15:34 man I hope b/c racing gave you the hook up or maybe a sponsor, cause this is gonna be one of a kind. And I see everyone using the b/c coil overs and they seem to just plain work and work very well.
It’s really awesome seeing your dad and even your mother helping. Cherish the time with them.
Agreed I lost my dad last summer… he was only 62 so ya enjoy them while you cab
@@supdus I lost my father in October of 2021 and lost my mom last July and it’s still surreal to me.
@supdus my dad passed at 62 as well. Not a day goes by that i don't think of him.
Can't wait to see this build put together!!! So fricken sweet!
I just attended LS Fest Last Vegas and saw what people have done with putting LS' in everything and anything you can imagine. Watching your videos really gets my interest. Keep up the good job.
Wow, amazing job Adam! Stretching this body is the best way in my opinion... The El Camino has the best body lines you can have! Have a good one. Cheers Nico.
This thing is going to be sick !
Dang son
Awesome blend. A point worth mentioning is that stretching the chassis will alter a suspension geometry point called "Ackerman". Mostly going to feel it at low speeds and sharp corners.
Love the process you took reconnecting the floor in the crv. Very clean work. Keep it up.
You are so lucky man. The AWD 5spd CRV is so rare. I had a blue unicorn she was awesome. Can't wait to see this thing rolling
A mad scientist for sure🍻
Looking good, lots of work, and use of the right tools make it look easy.
I would keep the Camino high as possible and do an off-road build. Would look super sick !
Can't wait to El Choppo sitting on top, such a interesting build. Thank you for the explanations as you work.
I'm hoping more people start documenting outside-the-box builds like this. Can't wait to see the CRVino come to life!
Roll cage is always a good idea.
Hard work pays off is looking great 💪🏼
in 20 years someone will start looking for parts for their El Camino and be like >wat
Def an original swap!
This project is crazy and i love it! ❤
Your projects are some of the best ones on yt to watch . Keep it coming brotha 👊🏼🍻
I’m so invested in this
Love the process. Can't wait to see the end results.
Wish I could afford to be in that giveaway that’s a super sweet ride and all that work you did was so on point to every detail
First time on this project, have watched because of Kyle and Wyatt. Hopefully they gonna give you a hand on making a nice and hopefully k series turbo with that awd and stick. I know you build everything but if the boostedboiz don’t owe you one after the last two beautiful paint jobs, I would be suspicious. I am glad I did find your channel from them, you work is amazing and you attention to detail is beyond amazing. Best of luck
Definitely turbo Mr Bode vision 🤟
Boost is a must. ✌🏻
So badass. I'm all in. I wanna see this thing done!
I wish you had more subs and views you deserve it I been watching for years I Iove this channel.
Looking good. You do great work. Can't wait to see it finished.
4:35 That was the CRV telling you not to cut me in half.
lol
Caught the camera daydreaming lol Also that sync 24:13 I see you. Can't wait for color reveal. It's FL so I envision staying two-tone, but painted like a bass boat with that MASSIVE flake-age! lol Whatever you do, this ride will 1 of 1 and I'm here for it!
Loving this build!
El CR VINO FINE LIKE WINE
Bro is killing it 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Fun times; lets go!
❤❤❤❤ El Hondamino sounds cool…love watching the channel always
Next level! You are nuts but in a badass way.
killer project cant wait to see it. Keep it up
So rad bro! Can’t wait for the next step
I'm excited to see how this turns out
I love your attention to detail brother! I missed your truck give away but I’m praying for the Honda , lol keep up the awesome work and kick ass videos
The El CRV-ino! (Serve-ee-no) 👍
cr-v extendo is a hell of a lot of work to do, and you did it nice and first try, huge props. This is my favorite car content channel in YT. blessings brother
Much appreciated!
Glad I found your channel.
Great job man. Loving the process 😉🇦🇺
bode doin the damn thing
I love this build..! I'm Super stoked to see the upcoming videos..!
Nice stretch job!
Man, you got skills. I do woodworking and we seem to use the same processes that you do. Super interesting, I think its gonna look epic!
Viva El Hondamino!
Mean brother from New Zealand 🇳🇿
So good to see it's on BC coilovers and not air ride. This build is epic
this is so sick
So happy you're not doing a off road rig. Bad-ass build bro I'm a honda and a gbody owner myself.
Damn man, This is turning out hella nice. I can't wait to see what youre gonna do next. It's gonna look amazing,
Wicked stuff partner. You should design your own car & open your company with the big wigs lol
Amazing work as always 💪🏽
Amazing work as always Adam, I love how you figure this stuff out so you can keep moving forward with the build and lengthening the chassis was defiantly the way forward rather that making the body shorter as that would involve a lot more work. It's surprising the amount of strength you added to those panels just by using the bead roller on them, yeah it looks nice but it's more about the strength. Looking forward to the next instalment🙏👍John UK
I can wait to see this done 🔥
Love this project really interesting! I have a 79 Elky myself
I Dig It!
Dope AF, nice work keep busting out the dimes
Great job. Keep grinding bode
Loving this build keep it up man
love the humor!!!
Looks really good
nice work and cool merger of two different "worlds"
Lovin the project!
You have gone mad but a good mad LOL....Kool sound track.....💯🙂👍🙏
this is so sick!!
Keep goin keep going Strong 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
So cool seeing this all come together! A lot of work and a lot of details, but also a lot of progress!! 🙌
You should do a video on motorizing your bead roller - add a power window or wiper motor or similar and a foot pedal. Then you won't have to have a helper to crank it.
My uncle is also impressed
“Be winging it”😂😂😂😂 ah I love this build.
I felt like I was watching me with any task when the tape measure kept falling during the wheelbase measuring. Love this series so much!!!! Might have to chop my RD1 up 🤨
I like the drilled holes and welding... then it's just not 1 bead on the edge
This is way cooler than a El Camino on a K5 Blazer chassis. Kinda like a bigger version of a Subaru BRAT. Only thing I take issue with is that I didn't see you add any rosette welds into the rectangle tube that runs inside the factory stampings.
It's Elhondo 👍
Awesome work
