I think its 5th cousin 5 times removed

Let us work it out, assuming both he and his brother's family named their sons after themselves
Clifton 1 & Elmo 1 = siblings (Your 8th GGf & his brother)
Clifton 2 & Elmo 2 = 1st Cousins (7th GGF) (Son)
Clifton 3 & Elmo 3 = 2nd Cousins (6th GGF) (Gr Son)
Clifton 4 & Elmo 4 = 3rd Cousins (5th GGF) (1st GGS)
Clifton 5 & Elmo 5 = 4th Cousins (4th GGF) (2nd GGSon)
Clifton 6 & Elmo 6 = 5th Cousins (3rd GGF) (3rd GGSon)
Clifton 7 & Elmo 7 = 6th Cousins (2nd GGF)
Clifton 8 & Elmo 8 = 7th Cousins (1st GGF)
Clifton 9 & Elmo 9 = 8th Cousins (GF)
Clifton 10 & Elmo 10 = 9th Cousins (Father)
Clifton 11 & Elmo 11 = 10 Cousins (You)
He is your fifth cousin five times removed, through Clifton 6, your 3rd GGF.

I think you're right--fifth cousin five times removed. The degree of cousinhood is the number of generations you have to go back to find ancestors who were siblings--e. g. first cousins, as the children of siblings, go back one. If the number of generations isn't the same on both sides, take the smaller number; then the number of generations difference is the times removed. Thus your granparent's first cousin is your first cousin twice removed.

Your second cousins!
Make a genealogy (Organizational type) chart to see the clear picture.
