    I can totally emphasise with the idea behind this build. The patina and the 1960s style lettering really add to the overall vintage look. Then adding all the cleanly freshness underneath is another layer of surprise. Really well done.

    I've been blessed to get one of Brendon's most famous creations, the pink RLC '55 Candy Striper Gasser!
    This is my first time listening to Mr. Vetuskey and he is not only a very down to Earth dude, but listening to him in that 6 min video.. he's very inspirational!
    When I started to drive at 16 yrs old I wanted a '55 Chevy so bad and after watching this & listening to Brendon.. It stokes the fire to make me want to pursue that dream again! His car is amazing and I'm not really a Gasser fan so that says a lot!!
    Looking forward to getting that new RLC Gasser this summer too!
    Thanks for sharing your passion and your talent my man!!

    This brings back fond memories growing up in sixties of a black 57 Chevy and old Vette gassers that were a couple of blocks from my house.
    Hot rods were everywhere - Mopars , Chevys, Fords, Pontiac’s etc. and I had a few too! EVs are great but they will never stir my emotions like a good ol’ hotrod.

    Sweet wheels.
    My brother just finished his dream car - 71 Nova SS with 4 speed / 12 bolt rebuilt with a 4 link rear suspension and a MONSTER 427 fuelie. 3.73 gears.
    He drives it like it was built to be run ... it's REALLY something (oh, exhaust cut-outs also) to have him launch that puppy when you're in it.
    Like the owner of this beauty he did most of the work himself, 80 hours of porting work in the heads alone.

      @@TypicalToyReviews While shopping with Mom a lady stopped us and asks Mom if her son like toy cars. I already had 40-50 Matchbox so she said 'Oh yes!'. We ended up in a room off the store where there were lots of Matchbox cars and more what we now know as Hot Wheels, a strip of track and a table. I was asked to try all the cars, track etc. They then interviewed me for a while. About 2 weeks later I got in the mail a few Hot Wheels cars, track and clamp and a letter thanking me. I still have the cars, track split and was tossed years ago. Thanks

    Awesome video and a sweet 55 Chevy. Tri fives can pull off just about every style of build it feels like. Gasser, pro touring, stock, custom, etc. The classic lines and base bones of a tri five just work. Might be a bit biased as we have a couple of tri fives in the garage of varying build styles, lol.

    My first classic build will be a Gasser, they hold a special place in my heart. I remember being at a car show in Visalia (Shout out to the Vapor Trailers) with my Grandpa when I was like 7 or 8 years old and seeing a a Gassed up Falcon with wheelie bars and asking my Grandpa what they where there for. I'd never seen anything wheelie besides a tractor pulling a stump or a dirt bike so I was confused, until he left the car meet and pulled the front tires up! That completely sold me on hot rods. I've been hopelessly addicted to cars ever since, Thanks Gramps
