55 Chevy Gasser Back from the Corner it Was Parked In! Wheel Stand Time? 🤔

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2024
- Up next on the list of project cars sitting around the shop that need a new lease on life - the blue 55 Chevy gasser! I'm excited about this one 👀 Dad raced this car for a few years at various gasser events and then brought it to Drag Week for a couple years. There are epic wheel stand stories and pictures of it all over and it really was pretty impressive for what it was at the time. But like most other things, it got a little hurt on one of its last outings and then things got busy and other projects came up and the 55 got parked. But, it's going to get its time to shine once again. Join us on this first episode of the 55 chevy!

QUOTE Dennis: This is a lot of work,it takes an artist to do this kind of work...... paint aint cheap when you consider all the stuff you need to do it right.......do you know how many hours are in this stuff and then a bird comes and stands on my work.......THIS MAN has earned my new respect, the way he "massaged" that quarter panel to get it so much straighter than it was is , like he said, ART! this is thee most talented man on you tube, bar none! who agreess!
I'm blown away by the whole family... they are definitely from another dimension!!!
No, they are real people from Arkansas 😉@@barrybarry5803
Making a straight piece of tin makes you the most talented on tube?Not much talent there then.
@@teknoaija1762 ~ Dennis's talent encompasses the breadth of his skills and knowledge, your comment is the epitome of ignorance!!!
@@barrybarry5803 Pretty rich coming from USA to Europe.What century is it again?
We don't mind the talking. You're racers, there is always a backstory.
Megan should do story time/interviews with your Mom and Dad. They have so many great stories and knowledge.
I've seen an long interview of Alex and Dennis on another YT channel, where Dennis gives some backstory about his youth and older brothers, that was also into cars and racing.
The more you talk the more we learn. Your dad is on a different level.
Lol that was very entertaining! I love the storytelling! I'm 62 that was how we learned things in the old days. Very well done!
Enjoy the 55 and Willis videos SOOOO much !
I agree!!
The best part your channel is watching you and your dad talk about old times. It makes me miss my dad more and more.
I am seriously enjoying hearing your dad tell stories so good!
I'm 61 and have been working on cars my entire life. The amount of new knowledge I get watching Dennis is boggle minding. Alex, I hope you know deep in your heart just how fortunate you are, don't get me wrong, the technical stuff you bring to the table is also very impressive. Thank you Taylor family for the entertainment and education
I'm here for Dennis. The man has built some beautiful amazing cars. Absolutely nothing against Alex. I just completely understand Dennis.
I have commented in the past about how talented Dennis is, but had to say again just how amazing this gentleman is.
This was so awesome, I love seeing Alex and Dennis in their natural element
Dennis, please Procharge that deal and go bottom 8's
Dennis. You are an amazing body man. It took you such a short amount of time to bang in Dolly that quarter panel out and it looks amazing without any filler. Keep them coming.
I can't wait to see Willy and 55 gasser on the track
Racing each other!
Love the interaction between father and daughter; it's more like siblings who are best friends. These conversations and back stories are what make this channel special. Y'all just keep being yourselves. Makes me proud to be a fellow Arkie!
user! I'm afraid I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one I'm a fellow Arkie too and am proud to have a team like Dennis and Alex Family Racers in the state I live in
Hi there, Burt Munro, is from Invercargill New Zealand. Love your videos.
I'm with your dad on the Sting Ray. That was THE bike when we were kids. He is correct. :)
Yep. Those of us with cheap Montgomery Wards bikes were jealous of our friends with Schwinns!
@@danmyers9372My parents got me a
Roll Fast I would hang out at the Gulf Station, they would give me STP stickers and i would put them on my banana seat.
I think there was only one Sting Ray in the neighborhood.
What comes to mind is "a family that works and plays together stays together", that you guys. I love your video's every one that I've seen. I hope maybe this summer you might head to the west coast so I can shake all of your hands.
Wanna see dad race
I get it , but retirement is deserved. " Risk" just ask John Force's family is probably why.
@@ronaldrey8474 Nothing says Dennis needs to compete in Alex's class. He could get in a class where he's both comfortable as well as proficient in. Perhaps Cleetus could run a Dad Prix next Father's Day weekend at the Freedom Factory. It be nice to see former racing dad's race in the Crown Vics. He could see if he could get Dennis Taylor, Dan Patrick, Brian Deegan, and a several others, just to name a few.
Dennis has to beat that Mopar powered shitbox
Why should Dennis sit behind an steering wheel just for your guys entertainment? Nothing stop him from going racing as an driver. If he use his time on something else, then it's because that's what HE want's.
@@IronRanger132002 Cleetus McFarland does not even compare to Dennis Taylor or Alex Taylor nor does he have the CLASS that Dennis or near the Brains or he does not show it anyway do you see Dennis Taylor getting out on a Track and Tear a Car up on purpose NO you don't and he has enough CLASS that you won't I respect Dennis and Alex they are Smart Classy people
wow,what a great family ,it was really watching this, thank you
OMG!!!! The end segment was a HOOT!!!! The back and forth comedy routine was priceless!!!!
So great to see the relationship that y’all have. Great to see Mom Debbie involved as well.
That is one he'll of a nice chevy❤❤❤ still waiting on the wills plus your shop ❤❤❤❤❤
You're going to upset some Kiwi's calling Burt Monroe Australian
Us Australian's claim a lot of kiwis but Burt was definitely from new Zealand
Dennis! my favorite part of this was seeing Alex fixing the spindles! Now if she could only Cook! ha
Packing the bearing with grease, ring and all! :)
Uhmmm, She does cook, just not the way you are referring to. Have you seen this gal roast them Mickey slicks? How about the way she charbroils piston heads and sears cylinder walls? 😱🤭👍
Dennis is amazing! All the amount of knowledge.
Long video Alex, I watched all day every time I stopped. I remember the car when it was on 2 wheels and know the song but forget! also seen the video when the spindle broke your dad was getting out of the car! always enjoy your videos! I do believe your dog owns the shop and also Alex, anything that goes wrong IS YOUR FAULT!! happy 4th Taylor's and happy birthday Alex, happy birthday Dennis! thank you all.
The banter between Alex and DT are priceless. I started laughing out loud when Meg could barely hold it together while the banter was going on.
So glad Mom was there to agree with the story line! Always the silent one, and the referee and the behind the scenes director!!
Had 2 '55's, 1 '57 and 1 '67 Camero, but only car I regret selling is my 55. Wish I had, had, a place to keep mine too!
Dennis has so much fun being difficult with his daughters. It's hilarious.
Dennis's metal working skills are by far the best I have seen.
It's a lost art, most body guys would just smear mud pn it paint it and call it good.
Sweet gasser, the willys is my dream car. I have a 392 hemi in the garage in hopes of one day getting a Willys.
Alex you and your family are so much fun to watch ya love each other and it show ty so refreshing
Alex, you & your father are always entertaining together even though you are not trying to be--well done 🙂
Alex, I’m smelling a Roadkill/Hot Rod Garage crossover. Dad’s Bad Rattitude vs Finnegan’s Blashphemi.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,dem kids would not win against dennis's car , brain , and talent...........
A family that works and races together stays together. Loved this video!
Love the interaction between father and daughter. I lost my dad 3 years ago, and we were always working on cars together, too.
He taught me auto repair on his 1967 Cougar that we pulled the small block out of and dropped in a 390 big block. Luckily, I have that car now!
So happy for your Dad being able to work on his own projects now.
Man your dad is a legend so glad you can enjoy him!!!!!!
Love your family and friends. You all crack me up. Love the stories the best!!!!!!!!!!
It takes a real man to put up with his two women !! God !! I love you guys and your videos !!!!!
I love this family, need more of these conversations on camera, I was laughing most of the way thru!
Hey Alex, let's get your dad into the 6's. He helped you do it and seeing how you both have the knowledge now, let's do it. I can see it now, " Father and daughter Taylor's 6 second cars" That would be awesome but probably pretty expensive, but doable. Can't wait to see your dad out doing what he loves. He's been busting his behind helping you archive your goals, now it his turn. Love you, your channel and all of your videos.
I died on that Mr Wilson lol car man Taylor
I can listen to you guys all day long!!!
The two of you and the faulty memories make for hilarious content! Only a daughter and dad could carry on like you two do and it is great to see!
U Killed That Bug Killer!! lQQl
A grudge race with Finnegan in Blasphemi would be awesome to see.
Loved how SOLID the sound when Dennis closed the doors of the Willys. GREAT JOB mating the doors to the body Dennis.
Alex as you well know you are one lucky car enthusiast having a Dad and let’s not forget Mom, because she is talented in many things that pertains to car projects,anyway what I was saying was not only do you have some badass rides but you get to tune and drive some really cool cars that your dad has built or will build in the future,so cool 😎
Luv u knew the neighbor Mr. Wilson. r.i.p.
Great video, great cars, great stories. The relationship that the two of you have is priceless.
Hey Alex the storytelling I can listen to all day these videos can go for hrs & I will watch the whole video & u are funny as hell it’s so funny when your dad blames you and u fight that’s it’s not your fault & u guys go back & forth funny stuff p.s u have the most gorgeous eyes ever !!!!!!
Love the Willy's
You’re the most amazing greatest race car driver ever Alex! 😀😀💜💜🌺🌺
Dennis Taylor should open a museum with all his race cars 🏎️.
Thanks for the content. Couldn’t help but enjoy the family connection through the cars and the stories.
I always love hearing your dads stories, the extra time in the video is always worth it!
Alex, shutting down after 'windshield to face door ejection' was impressively smooth. Rock On
Really great work, this is the real of how things are and it’s good for learning a little and enjoying the process.
Great video! Love the old 55 look forward to seeing more of it.
Long live the Gassers!
Take care guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Alex, you and your dad are an awesome race family keep it up I like seeing your cars fly and rip the ground up. Can’t wait to see the salt flats car up and running and I seen more your boyfriend got a flat car too. That’ll be awesome to see you both race and there is a team.
you guys are a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for that.
Gotta love Taylor Tale Time. Each with their own recollections and details. The bickering is so entertaining. Love you guys ❤
I love the stories and listening to you guys it's just good entertainment
Dennis remembers everything your dad is awesome love the videos
Alex Taylor = Still. The. Cutest!
Great video, guys and gals!!
Nice polishing job, mom!! Looks brand new!
Don't disrepect a Kiwi! Burt was from New Zealand.
Man I love a 55 chevy! Cant wait to get mine on the road. Watching Dennis work his magic on that quarter panel is amazing! It's really motivating to watch. Think I'll work on mine tonight :)
More mics! A mic for Mike. A mic for everybody, Deb? Yes, mics n more mics.❤
I just love you!! Classic music is life! I can work better, think better, and be grateful for life!
Thank you doing this video, I love you guys, it is always of breath of fresh air, seeing them, after coming out of the hospital
I love listening to your dad talk. He's such a wealth of knowledge! I grew up building cars with my dad too, but not to the extent he's doing! Putting that old school knowledge with the new technology we have, he's definitely shown his talent! How's Nick doing Alex? You guys should come to FL. I'm almost finished w/my 99 Camaro SS. 44k mile car, navy blue, I put a QP fab 9 in it, 3.70 gear, MWC anti roll bar, lower rear control arms, i just need good shocks or coil overs for radial car, built MVB TH400, no brake though, CircleD converter, 11.4:1 408" LS from a 6.0 iron block, done by Mike Lough, and assembled by me. Started with a bolt on Huron Speed t4 ac kit, which keeps stock stuff, radiator, air, etc. Worked with a small turbo, but I had to get a 91/102 FIS from Jose, and still concerned about back pressure issues! Need to add a 2nd gate, bought a Griffin radiator, common thing to do in these cars to make room, but with slim puller fans on a slim shroud, the turbine housing hit, so i cut it all out, mounting radiator in front of core support! It's going soon for exhaust and to have some v bands added, as well as modified for this little "T4 wannabe"!lol
You need to get Dad a lab coat that says Dr. Dennis when he starts explaining technical things like king pins. His knowledge on automotive engineering is amazing.
Congratulations Alex on your membership into theBonneville 200 MPH Club!!! Great drive!!!! Great team!!!
Dad and daughter both rocking vans......nice
Love videos like this. Enjoy all of them but its cool watching y'all chat and give each other a bit of a hard time
Love hearing the history. Love the Willis, and that sweet 55 gasser .The banter between you and Dennis is hilarious Alex !!.. (favorite is still that 6 second 55 monster though)..Great content !
That shop is filled with all the cool projects that Willys and the car hauling are my favs
Very good! I hope that you had a happy fourth!
Burt was from New Zealand not Australia. Love your guys energy.
I don't think anyone's ever accused them of being educated 😅
So glad the cars are getting new life. Happy 4th to you and your family ❤
damn you dad has totally radical, hot rods just falling out of his pockets.that is an awesome 55 and I liked the name bad rattitude to bad you took it off. can't wait to see this car on it rear wheels and the front ones out in space..
Greatest family. Love you guys
Alex I sure hope you keep all these cars for your future collection. Don't let Dad sell them to anyone else, they are your family history and your upbringing and history too.
Schwinn Stingray in that
Blue is my favorite color too!👍👍
Those tail lights on the Willy’s are the same I cob out of a wrecking yard in1958 to put on my 1951 mayflower. 51, wrecking yard , tail lights , all gone to mayflower heaven.
Really enjoy the stories , great video
i swear your dad is just a older version of me ( im only 28) and i feel the same way when it comes to paint . i grew up with a resto shop in my backyard, was tinker spraying my go kart and tractors at age 5-9 i started body working cars at 10 and started shooting corvettes at age 13, i have zero personal vehicles that ive painted for my self lol im finally doing a 64 impala for my self and so my pops has something cool to cruise to the dragstrip , i contemplate clearing over the bare steel all the dang time 😂and i have all the materials on the shelf but it takes a hell of a lot of time to do a paint job and make it nice. after doing 50-60 cars for other people im burned out on shiny paint
I love hearing the old stories. That said, I remember when Cordova was not a nice track. Gravel staging lanes, an entire row of trees at the end of the staging lanes you had to drive thru, return road on the spectator side of the track, and you got your timeslip at the bottom of the tower, track conditions were not "is it gonna spin", but "how much is it gonna spin"..... Then Scott Gardner bought it and really turned it around, before the IHRA gave him a Montreal Screw Job.
Always fun content and cant wait to see it running!!
I love this Video. Very little editing. We are seeing the raw Dennis and Alex. Very fun to watch. We need more of these videos. Have fun.
You all are so much fun to watch!😂
Love watching this channel. Class act family. Can't wait to see more of the 55 and 41 Willy's. Am building a 56 nlown gasser. Would like to see a closer look at the front suspension. Am putting in a WAC 5/16 chrome moly tube axle. Keep the videos coming Alex.
I like this kind of raw cinematography.looks more genuine.being professional sometimes can go overboard
as a father of 2 girls and a former dirt track racer I must defend DAD ... LOVE THE VIDEOS
For the peeps that have to bring back the shine. Was in the Navy, they used cases of Nev-er Dull on above deck brass fittings before chow everyday! There is better now but that's ole reliable!
An what Alex doesn't get is paint. What Dads trying to tell here you got a 1 in a million chance of matching Candy, damn was that 5 or 9 coats? Let her do the next quarter!
Alex you are getting finer and more gourgus ever day .I love watching you and your dad he works hard I wish you guys the best .
great job Dennis and Alex you guys did a great job on the 55 great Quarter Panel Work you Dennis and great Spindle & King Pin work for you Alex and great Polish work for Mrs. Taylor keep up the fine work guys
I love hearing the stories, Yall need to get Dennis out making passes.
I love the shenanigans stories you guys are awesome can’t wait to see you rip on the salt
Love the Willy’s , reminds me of the Stone , Woods and Cook car from the 60’s .
