The amount of skill, knowledge and experience this man holds in his head is just unbelievable. Absolute invaluable like a fountain of pure gold nuggets.
@J F, Alex also has an enviable amount of skills and knowledge and her Mom lays up the carbon and fibreglass. They're an amazing team. If you heard her Dad speaking about Alex drawing out the rear end on CAD so that he could set up the angles exactly! I agree with you that Alex's Dad puts a lot of effort, skill and expertise into everything that he does, like the key ways being exactly upright! Definitely a great, team with a eye for detail and the abilities to build an amazing car.
Since your running a quick connect hub for the steering wheel you should run 2 wheels one with a machined spacer to extend the wheel back so you don't have to stretch and a shorter one for your dad.
It's just a matter of time now. With Leroy getting his new turbos, and in the near future a brand new Texas Speed block, he might be breaking into the 6's too.
Love this video series. Seeing a car build from the ground up is amazing. Dennis is an incredible engineer/fabricator/painter,artist, and humble about it.
Mike finnegan is looking for 57 fiberglass front clip doors and trunk lid. Pretty sure everyone was commenting telling him get ahold of the taylors though in his last video where he asked if anyone knew where to get them.
A quick tip for your dad, when cutting threads, cut the first pass then stop the lathe, back the cross feed out then run chuck in reverse until you get back past the start, screen cross feed in to depth of last pass plus however much of a cut you want then just engage the auto feed. Trying to time the indexing wheel every time can cause mistakes but if you never disengage the feed screw it stays on the TPI you started cutting. I only use the index wheel for first pass then never look at it again.
ABSOLUTELY worth the wait, these 30+ min videos are awesome and feel we are getting spoiled, it's like watching a TV show and we're all addicted lol. Can't wait for the next one
Your Dads Skills are Mad and Crazy his skills show he has Many YEARS of experience and the Wildest thing about his skills is that he still loves what he does!!!
Thank you for sharing this build...it is an absolute work of art! Your Dad is gifted, and you are truly blessed, Alex! The anticipation is mounting...'lot's of hoops to jump through, yet! Be safe!
Love these videos, What an amazing family to be a member of, the skill & passion your dad has for what he does is just amazing. I could watch and learn from him all day. Vast respect for his true talent and attention to detail. Thanks for getting it on film for us to watch and learn from, and most importantly enjoy. Cant wait to see this project up and running.
Sir you are a master machinist, master welder and a mechanical engineer all in one. Schooling at the highest degree can not teach the level of experience you have. Your daughter is lucky to have you!
The car is looking great, I love your dad's ingenuity and his determination. He would rather make something instead of ordering it and waiting. You folks are so wonderful to watch. I can wait to see the final product. Take care of yourselves and stay safe. Thanks for another enjoyable video Alex
I cant take seeing the truck in the background anymore... just aim the camera at it for 20 seconds please lol. Great work you guys!! That diff dohh😍 Can we take a second to appreciate your Mom always involved and helping. She is the glue to this whole operation!!
I’m in awe at Dads Engineering/fabrication, in the midst of doing 5 other things! I can’t walk into another room, without forgetting why I walked there! The build looks great, please add more video!
Alex your dad is just so smart and good at what he does its unbelievable the amount of knowledge he has in his head. That rear differential looks pretty much bulletproof
As a 50-ish male, I would honestly spend more time with her Dad to glean some of the forgotten knowledge he has. Alex will draw the younger viewers in and knows her stuff as well, so it's a win-win either way
Sweet Lady, Better late then never and the Video was well worth it. Thank you for all you share with us. Cant wait to see you drive it. Take care and stay safe please
I am so amazed at the family unit you have!!! Alex, you are so talented, your mom and Dad are fantastic!! please dont ever take what you have for granted, I would have loved to have a dad..period, yet alone one who would get envolved in my love of autos...Im 62, built a 71 nova ss in 77 , now building another 71, not an ss, so I BACK HALFED IT AND SLOWLY ARE MOVING FORWARD...BOUGHT IT FROM TENNESEE .NEW PANELS, WELL DONE great project!! cant wait to see the 55 done..I dont have the big shop, but I will make it work!! congrats!!!
That rear end looks 👀 incredible You should call it R-2 D-2 It looks like it should walk and talk and have it’s own computer brain 🧠 Your dad does fantastic work and great design Team Taylor 👍👍 Can’t wait to see this 55 roll out !!!
We love you guys our extra parts are a simple way we can help keep the project going. Locally we do it for our for our friends in town. You just happen to be to far away so we are all happy to ship. I want 100 proof to rock. Coming out of covid we all need hope. I know the old man is tired but what beautiful work. Old school prevails. Head down Arse. Up. Love you guys Moms glass work should be commended..
I love how Alex just walks up to Dennis, sticks a camera in front of him, and says tell everybody what you're doing. I bet you just love doing that. And always with a smile on your face. Haha. Another great update Alex. Will you be challenging Joe Barry once you've got "100 proof" all dialed in? Haha. That would be very interesting. Just an idea.
Nice rear end...... Can I say that? 😁 Install floor covering for a living and have done so for about 45 years. My grandfather taught me the trade and one of the first things I learned was pattern making for vinyl flooring. I really enjoyed watching your dad make patterns for all those pieces. He's incredible with his metalworking skills. Can't wait for the next video. 👍
Your dad is incredible he wasn't kidding when he said a ton of welding on that rear !! So entertaining thank you for a great video looking forward to the next
G'DAY Taylor family, looking great, fantastic machining Dennis,as a possible sale opportunity for your fibreglass tilt front,Mike from Finnegan's Speed and Marine is looking for a tilt front clip for a TRI 5!
Your dad is a wizard engineer when it comes time to fabricating from zero to 100! I know he doesn't like to take credit for his talented work but he's an amazing drag car builder.
Build series is a Masterclass on Hot Rod fabrication. Timeless and as inspiring as Rick Dobbertin's J2000 build back in the 80s. Thank you so much for sharing!
You know we as people don’t have to be the smartest. we just need a little knowledge and the tools to work with.. I’ve really enjoyed watching this build.
Man I wish I would have been your neighbor growing up i would have worked for your dad for free to learn his amazing skills building cars!!!! You guys do amazing work.
Im so glad to see some one form my home state making utube videos. I think its totally awesome that you and your family build such killer cars . I can't wait to more of the 55 build and other projects in near future.
Man the skill is off the chart .. your dad is sick love watching him work .. that rear end is a master piece .. the car shell was nothing and the car now is a piece of art that will run 6s .. much love and respect too you guys stay safe God bless
This is the most educational, motivational and inspirational channel I've seen in a long time!! Excellent excellent work. Thank you and your family for bring us along for the ride ✌️😎 much respect
These videos are always a special pleasure to see. From the eloquence and wit to the brilliant engineering and superb workmanship, your wonderful family is invariably uplifting as well as inspiring.
The amount of skill, knowledge and experience this man holds in his head is just unbelievable. Absolute invaluable like a fountain of pure gold nuggets.
Thanks for sharing. DT is AWESOME!

@@joseywales3789 100% correct! AWESOME FAMILY AWESOME TALENT!
My problem is I have to patiently wait for the next video. 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome build! Skills are top notch! Time knowledge and experience!
Your dad explains things so well. I learn something every video. Love your channel
Since your running a quick connect hub for the steering wheel you should run 2 wheels one with a machined spacer to extend the wheel back so you don't have to stretch and a shorter one for your dad.
I cannot wait for the 55’ to run head to head with Cleet’s Mullet. Running side by side 6’s. Incredible series from you guys!
It's just a matter of time now. With Leroy getting his new turbos, and in the near future a brand new Texas Speed block, he might be breaking into the 6's too.
@@jeffreyclifton9928 No chance with the Corvette transmission.
Do you think Leroy will be aerodynamic enough? The drag at that speed with no body panels will be quite a lot
@@dicktrickle4197 aerodynamics means nothing with enough power.
@@dicktrickle4197 7's on 7cylinders, so with all 8 & fresh, bigger turbskis, maybe?
Love this video series. Seeing a car build from the ground up is amazing. Dennis is an incredible engineer/fabricator/painter,artist, and humble about it.
And a terrific dad.
Damn.....you and Mama laid down some “Kick A$$” glass.....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mike finnegan is looking for 57 fiberglass front clip doors and trunk lid. Pretty sure everyone was commenting telling him get ahold of the taylors though in his last video where he asked if anyone knew where to get them.
He’s probably trying to get someone to give him the glass parts for nothing if he mentions it enough.........
He needs to get hold of Scott @ Scottrods
Your dad does incredible work!
A quick tip for your dad, when cutting threads, cut the first pass then stop the lathe, back the cross feed out then run chuck in reverse until you get back past the start, screen cross feed in to depth of last pass plus however much of a cut you want then just engage the auto feed.

For sure
Everything is looking great. I had no idea what went into a 6 second rear end. That is an engineered masterpiece.
Cool seeing Nick there, he and Dennis would make a neat team!!!
I thought I recognized him.
Nick actually worked for Dennis (to learn the skills) for a little while around about 2013/2014 if I remember correctly.
I'm so addicted to this build! Love watching this amazing hotrod come together.
Can you imagine the creation that Dennis Taylor and Kevin Smith would build if the were locked in a shop together
Ur dad is the mad mechanic scientist. When the world falls apart i want him with me in the aftermath!
Your Dads Skills are Mad and Crazy his skills show he has Many YEARS of experience and the Wildest thing about his skills is that he still loves what he does!!!
Love the content . Good info , your dad's a true craftsman . One of my favorite channels.
I'm very impressed in the build quality of the 55, another great video.
Love dad’s combination of engineering and art
The way you're dad and you dumb things down and explain things to us simpletons is amazing. Keep getting after it!
Can’t wait to see this ol’ bus line up beside Mullet!! Alex vs Cleet will be the story of Race Week!
Thank you for sharing this build...it is an absolute work of art! Your Dad is gifted, and you are truly blessed, Alex! The anticipation is mounting...'lot's of hoops to jump through, yet! Be safe!
I love the way Dennis explains complex steering geometry, ride height and race specs like they are elementary consequences
Dad sure does some brilliant work and is a true craftsman.
Really enjoying the 55 build!! That front end you aren't using is awesome 👏
Your dad would make a OUTSTANDING instructor.
Iv been hoping the rear axle would get some video time. They never get the love they deserve.
Your Dad is Extremely talented ! thanks for sharing !
Love these videos, What an amazing family to be a member of, the skill & passion your dad has for what he does is just amazing. I could watch and learn from him all day.

Your dad is a very smart man! Miss my dad
Sir you are a master machinist, master welder and a mechanical engineer all in one. Schooling at the highest degree can not teach the level of experience you have. Your daughter is lucky to have you!
Thanks for the upload Alex. Awesome to see Dennis on what's involved in a axle housing. Great work Team.

That side profile is AMAZING , you are one lucky girl Miss Taylor ,

The 55 is looking so good! Watching you and your parents do this build is such enjoyment!
Alex your dad is just so smart and good at what he does its unbelievable the amount of knowledge he has in his head. That rear differential looks pretty much bulletproof
This man just proves you don't need school to get somewhere in life. Don't be scared to get your hands dirty and learn yourself!
As a 50-ish male, I would honestly spend more time with her Dad to glean some of the forgotten knowledge he has. Alex will draw the younger viewers in and knows her stuff as well, so it's a win-win either way
I dont think your pops realizes just how good he is. I love watching yall work, keep the videos coming.
What a dream girl she is gorgeous and smart and silly wow good work dad you really produced a diamond
Strait up the best channel on youtube. Your awesome!
Your dad is a fabrication BOSS!!!
Awesome work on the adjustable strut mechanism!
The amount and quality of work that you guys do is truly AMAZING ! Talent that is well beyond 99% of most .
I love the casual ... "I made that" !!!
that rear has more work in it than 75% of builds out there LOL. The car looks soooooo good mocked up with the front end and those wheels are stunning.
Mad skills. I was wrenching and welding on my bike. Did a test ride...took a turn too hard. My left training wheel flew off.
Sweet Lady, Better late then never and the Video was well worth it. Thank you for all you share with us. Cant wait to see you drive it. Take care and stay safe please

Same here. Mine could care less about learning or hanging around long enough to learn
