Not only do I love the fact that this man and his crew drive their builds on a daily basis, but that they've known each other for so many decades and have stuck together. They're the real deal.
Those are the best kinds of stories. I desire that for me and my car buddies.
Bebest comment brother

3:13 6:08 d🎉 7:🎉😅
Bad dude that do can drive that's what I like seeing stuff nothing show cars
Mr.Grey was also my auto mechanics teacher at Fremont high school. He’s also the reason I love old school cars and engines.
From 98 to the year 2,000.
Mr. Gray is my uncle ❤ 😊 he's so cool
It threw me off when he said no boost it makes 1000hp. But what he means is at wastegate boost at 8psi it makes 1000hp. Lol! Love this truck!
Yea I was initially confused and scratching my head. But only spring pressure and no additional boost added.
Street racing talk. Can tell this guy mainly talks cars when he's betting 😅
Thanks I was wondering about that too. He actually didn’t answer the question properly
Lol no 1k at 8 pounds on 5.3
At first I called BS that math ain’t mathin lol
Dude straps a fridge to 1000hp classic truck! This is what hot roddin is! Love these home builds.
Insane truck 1000 horses....
This gentleman purely owns the spirit of what it means to be an auto enthusiast and I love it. This is one of these best episodes yet!
Seriously 😂😂😂
👍
TO BE HONEST, THIS IS MY FAVORITE EPISODE TO DATE! PLEASE COLLAB MORE WITH THIS MAN AND THE CLUB🙏
We’ve done a few with HMC and will definitely do more soon. Cool bunch of people
@@AutotopiaLA cool car
@@Justin-bz1dpcar ?? Lol 😂
@@AutotopiaLAhi
@AutotopiaLA I enjoy this episode. Very cool 😎 👌🏿
This guy is not scared to get after it and stay in it as long as he wants and is cool as a cucumber while doing it. I respect his driving demeanor. I imagine that if that truck gets sideways he would probably turn out of it pedaling the throttle and enjoy the action. In most of the episodes I have seen, the drivers get on it for a bit as long as the car is going straight. Not this man, he goes into the deep end and searches for more. He runs on Adrenaline and Dopamine.
He’s a real deal hard driver
Hes a pro
He's the man , he knows exactly what he's doing unfortunately not everyone that's been featured on the show is on the same level as BLANK .
If you like that you'll like "sketchy vert" that guy never lets off lmao
24:19 Look at the man's eyes, man. That's a man of focus right there.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed it.
yup, you can't blink, a lot can happen in the blink of an eye
This might be my favorite AutotopiaLA vid thus far. I love everything about this from the truck build, to the OG driver, to Sean's facial expressions when he mashes it. Love, Love, Love it......This is what it's about.
Same
Me too. Sean was genuinely surprised and having a blast.
İlk gazladığında ki yüz ifadesi 😂
Best interview no doubt , I love all of the interviews & the cars but this guy is genuine with the stories and history of his life experiences , you can actually feel his passion for the people around him !! The true definition of all out fun 👉💯🔥🔥🔥✌️
This is why they need to bring shop classes back to schools man that man talked about his shop teacher so much my shop teacher still alive I owe him for me getting in the cars as besides my brothers and my father
I swear I felt I was inside that truck, RESPECT to this guy and his crew, awesome video
Bring Blank back with another of his builds. Had to watch this one twice
That truck is insane. The driver is so amazing. He knows what he is doing!!! At 24:15 or so when he dumps it and finally gets into 4th. The look on his face, the confidence. He knew what to do. Incredible!! Amazing truck. Amazing driver. Amazing video. Thanks!!!!
he shat himself talking about he loves it 😂
I have a close relative of mine back in the day driving like a mad man in a tricked out '76 Pontiac Grand prix, having it floored, car screaming like a bat outta hell simultaneously screaming.... "I WANNA GO FASTER!!!" Yet this gentleman doing this in a 1000 hp truck in his way doing like wise? Somebody give this man a TWO THOUSAND HP engine please hurry like today!
@@andyz3925my city
The way he fought that steering wheel omfg!!! Fker was focused and had that tunnel vision. Very impressive driver indeed. Love it!!!!
Your face when he said "It gets busy" 😂 priceless. Nice interview, love the fact that they're more like a family than a car club.
These are good people and it’s always a fun time shooting with them. Blank is pure cool
If that guy doesn't already have a TH-cam CHANNEL he needs to start one cause his personality, friends, cars and club is something i would make sure to watch the instant he posts on his channel.
bro i love guys like him - just having a good time, no show off - just laughing his ass off and having fun
Gotta do another one with him man with one of his other cars. Dude can definitely drive💪🏼💪🏼
Yes for sure,I'd like to see that El Camino.
One of the realist truck guys you’ve interviewed. Props to him, his build and his crew.
Seriously? "realist"? This guy lied about his HP on just engine and 200MPH! This is thee CAP man ever interviewed!
@@fablesattables744 He said on the wastegate not na
That's as Southern California Car culture as it gets, Blanks you are a legend.. Thanks for Holding it down for Southern California..
I keep coming back to this video just to get a good laugh from seeing the looks on Shawn's face when Blank punches it. Classic!
My favorite episode by far. The energy is where it needs to be at all times.
Thanks. One of my favorites too
@@AutotopiaLAmCaa NJ fa I caf😊😊ippywds8ppg GG t53ù u u u u u u u u ĵÿŭ67⁷jĥĝ r r
This guy is def an OG street racer. You got to do more on these guys.
I've replayed that "it can get busy" part 100 times..favorite episode hands down and he's not even thru with it yet 🤯get him on again when finishes it up
This was one of my favorite episodes, common everyday guys who all grew up together and actually daily their toys.
Mr. Grey! .....You created a monster!!!!!!....Hats off to you Sir!!!!
Fremont MR. GRAY THE LEGEND. HE CHANGE MANY LIVES. 🙏 CLASS OF 2000
Hands down one of my favorite shoots yet thank you Sean and thank you Blank for the ride!!!! 👍🏻
I'm sold!!!! I'm stopping every Old school truck i see until i buy one. Best interview/video on the net. Drive it OG!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one is for sale! If interested email me and I’ll set you up
@@AutotopiaLA but he said take all my other cars but not this truck
This is one badass truck but what I like most is that he actually uses it, not just to cruise or race but to haul stuff too, this is a real truck not just show rod.
What a great teacher he had- getting the kids into drag racing. And WOW beautiful truck. Love the 55 step side. Love seeing a REAL driver-Blank is my new favourite racer man. You gotta shoot more of this crew.
He's truly and Race car Driver, He feel the engine..hes knows motor power ...Good work Sir
Every comment are a summary of how the aficionados and enthusiasts at Hood bring a zest for life and the appreciation to the hobby
Man this video gave me absolute hills and goosebumps. That man can drive his freakin ASS OFF! What a great guy! That truck is an absolute animal! Them drag radials where screaming for dear life. You can tell the intensity in his face but its just effortless and hes so at home and relaxed.
UNBELIEVABLE! One of the best videos ever! Thank you!
Bad ass truck. My man Blank is legit behind that wheel. Good stuff!!!
How can I find Mr Blank? Would love to hear more about his other cars & races
I can tell Blank is a very humble guy. I love his truck it's a beast. 💯
This man is the real deal. This truck is incredible! Thanks guys.
Real deal is right
That is a real hot rod. Not for the faint of heart. You have to be a real driver to tame that ride. You got to be a grown ass man to drive it.
I LOVE THE PART ABOUT DRIVING…! HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL JUST SO MUCH, AND HES RIGHT ESPECIALLY A QUICK RATIO STEERING BOX AND YOU MIGHT HAVE TO FEATHER THAT THROTTLE EVER SO LIGHTLY THE SAME .. USED TO DO ALOT OF STREET RACING / DRIFTING BACK IN THE EARLY 70’S…! I HAD RELATIVES AND FRIENDS THAT COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW FAR OUT OF SHAPE I COULD TAKE IT WITHOUT CRASHING AND NEVER DID…! LOVE TO HANG WITH THIS DUDE AND PICK HIS BRAIN…SO COOL…🏁🏁😎
22:57 -- new patch for every gear, absolutely sick clip, and truck. This guy looks like he'd be a blast to hangout with, and his crew. Good stuff, good stuff.
you know alotta guys talk it up and say they never lost but with this guy you know hes forreal
Insane truck, definitely one of the best episodes
You mean no dome pressure. Got a lot of boost, probably 18 pound gate spring. Awesome truck❤
Yeah,I'm not buying the 1000 hp on all motor.....
I asked about this also..
He repeats "no boost", but the turbos are obviously on point in the game...?
Skid marks the whole way! The last pull had zero gap on the shift. Perfect driving!
Awesome Truck Blank!! 5.3 is probably the best engine that Chevy has put out. It’s versatile and hard working and reliable. You really don’t need a bunch of money to make a build like that, it’s more labor and tweaking. Great Video Shawn and I would love to meet Blank and his crew. Lots of knowledge to absorb, just freaking awesome.
Very cool truck. A little optimistic on 1000hp at 8psi on a 5.3. You'd need around 650na to reach a 1000 flywheel hp with no efficiency loss. Probably closer to 18 psi for 1000 flywheel hp.
I know right and He's on pump gas LoL. He's probably about 500 to 600 max
Yea, and the whole "no boost" thing but he says it hits 8psi. Guy should just say it's on wastegate.
I had to rewind to make sure i heard him right when he said he' making 1000 hp NO BOOST. With stock heads, ring gap and a cam. Yeah alright.
This guy is an old hustler,he's not gonna say how much boost it's really making,or how much hp....
@@davidh6818 Now it makes sense. He's definitely running 8+ PSI
This guy is great. The way he's so chilled, he's a favourite guest. 🙂
Man this one bad truck show more this truck especially when he Tubbs it out finished with few other things,definitely one my favorite videos thanks
Love this truck !! Unbelievable power from 5.3 LS. Nice to see all the convertibles settling around. Don’t see them in East Tennessee. Glad I found this channel
Welcome to the channel. The HMC guys are a cool bunch
witch part of east TN you from?
BLANK, LOOKS LIKE THE REAL DEAL. He explains everything so well. This episode brings me back to my street- racing days. I know this will enter some young guy or gal's want to start this way of life, but let them kind of know, what it cost to build and upkeep on some of these builds
. I have seen so many lose interest and money, by getting too deep into a build.
..
Eats HellCats for breakfast, TrackHawks for lunch, & defecates on Demons while hunting Coyotes for dinner!
😂😂😂
Best one yet. Please revisit this Man.
Good to see people of color doing this! Gives me hopes to always pursue your hobby or dreams not matter what!!
They need to bring shop class back. Imagine the builds we would have if more people had access. They should’ve never took it out of schools, it’s been downhill ever since.
Dude has such a great personality, one badass '55 with a perfect stance. I'd have to call this truck Philo Beddoe...
Blank is so smooth. And to scare Sean like he did, during that entire shoot, fun to watch 👀
I’ve been watching this channel for a long time know and honestly this is one of the most genuine and special vids you guys have ever put out you can see the sheer friendship/happiness that’s real plus my man blank is a bad mother-trucker 1 in a million kinda guy 💙🇬🇧
Blank is a legend and about as cool as it gets! The whole HMC crew is an impressive bunch
Feel that bro. He definitely made the episode stand out from the rest. True triple O.G right there 💯👍🇬🇧🤜🤛💪😜
This is my favorite episode...I like old skool down to earth people that loves cars...period
Man o man, I haven't sat down with some good ole boys and slapped some BONES down in years ! ! ! ! Killer truck and cooler folks. This is a good one Shawn . 😎🤙
Thank you! I love hanging out with this crew
Beast of a truck! Great drop & edit, as usual. Everybody have a great weekend.
Insane truck, definitely one of the best episodes. Insane truck, definitely one of the best episodes.
I’m speechless and impressed with this car club and his knowledge and character what a fantastic individual
I love old school dudes like this. Cool as a cucumber, foot to the floor banging gears!
I honestly don’t know what is cooler the truck with that sleeper boost set up or the owner himself… both are like the final boss to a car video game… don’t know what hit you until its too late and with a smile 😂
I just started watching this channel a few days ago and I gotta say this is my favorite episode. They’re all good, but this just hits different.
The passion, story and human element makes it special.
Can’t believe he’s running like that on leaf springs. Dude knows his truck and can drive. I’d be scared stless.
Im on my dinner break here in the uk🇬🇧 and i had to watch this video twice and how that truck left black lines up the road was amazing i love all your videos but this one is the best one for me the guy who owns that truck was the real deal built fast to go fast. All the best jason from the uk 🇬🇧
9 out of 10 drivers would pile this up in a 2 week period (if that long) if they tried to drive this truck like this. Kudos to this builder and driver. Great video as well.
Blown away by the truck and the owner! Please bring us more content on this crew!
If I was to build a truck. It would be that one. The reaction was classic. Brought tears in my eyes knowing that man can scare people with that thing.. those guys would be a lot of fun to hang out with. The auto knowledge that those guys have with their history of racing.. I would enjoy that.
A real man's truck with the manual. hell yeah.
Blank, you exemplify the heart & spirit of what we love. Great video
Watching that thing layin stripes from the rear view mirror pov was AWSOME!!!!!
Right?!?! All 4 gears he hit laying stripes
Mad props to whoever built those turbos. There literally is a millisecond of lag.
But how the hell is a 5.3 LS making 1000hp's ???
It's not... not without boost
@@mariocooldude9092 With a ton of boost. NA, not very much
@@motorhead281Wastegate boost 8psi.
@@AbeM-jm8yo 8 PSI means boost, right? OK.
I really do appreciate this episode. Blank's driving skills and his beast of a truck had me smiling from ear to ear and hollering hell yeah. He lays serious rubber in and through all 4 gears!!! I love it!!! Should call it "The Yellow Streak."
Leaving rubber strips on the road in all 3 to 4 gears.😂
Absolutely love this guy and his truck. So humble and just his love for what he does is so infectious.
Mad respect.
Every which way but loose…Clint Eastwood movie truck…. With a Modern twist..😎👍🏻💥
This whole video was just a vibe had me feeling like a Sunday in LA with the guys
Why did I get the shivers when he hit the pedal :). Bro, this is what I wanted for my brothers and me because this is what we have grown up around. Our paps had us going in the fields with 250 cars, so we could find motors or parts for a car he wanted us to build. My brothers took a different path, and I still do what I like. I have a 57 Apache and a 1970 Ford Torino GT convertible that I'm adding some treats to it.
Sounds like you’ve got some cool rides. This truck is a beast
This is exactly the kind of camaraderie I long for! A big group, all concerned about the same great things!
I love this type of builds were the owners know what's in their cars and not readings some fancy shop build sheet they prepared for them.. i love the episodes most gar guy's can relate to.. well done Sir.
Love that color, very understated but fits the truck so well. Cheers for another awesome video 🤙
Absolutely incredible driver! I wish I had a mentor like he had. I would have saved myself a lot of hardships in my teens and twenties. Bring this guy back for more.
This is one of my favourite episodes.
Same for me! Blank is a legend
Best interview and vehicle I've seen yet, simple setup(It has to go into boost a sometime, I don't know how you can get 1000 hp out of a 5.3 unless your in boost), I have a similar 6.0 setup coming on my 1972 chevelle which will kick in boost at 3500 rpm 56mm Borg Warner's.
Nice truck, dude seems to know what he's talking about but I'm calling bullshit. No sbe 5.3 making 1k hp on gate. He's a carb guy, don't know shit about efi. Maybe capable of 1k on a max effort tune, but that's a stretch. I want to see the dyno sheet. 😂😂
Im assuming when he kept saying "no boost" he meant that it gets only 1-3 PSI cause of how its set up. But yeah I dont see how else you get a 5.3 to 1000hp with zero boost.
Same question here
Dude ain’t afraid of the gas pedal!
To say this is one of my favorites is saying a lot with the cars and trucks on this channel. It's not just the truck it's the vibes you get from this guy, love it
I hear ya! Blank is such a cool guy and a badass driver
I love this, man!! This is the pinnacle of what the love of cars is about. It breaks through all barriers. What an awesome group of guys and their amazing rides. Much love!! God bless all y'all!!
When it comes to "Looks" the tri -five Chevy's are kings. All American 1950's! love what has been done with the Chevy. Keep up the great work.
When i watch a video and get tears of joy i know im watching the right video. Boy oh boy that man can drive.
Yea, I definitely had tears of joy and chills. The energy was amazing.
20:40 "Go faster". I love it! Who needs caffeine?
Serious energy boost riding in this with Blank!
My buddy and I used to double date in that exact year and model of truck. Dates couldn't run away from a fella in that thing! Haha......thanks, Shaun, for the memories.
Good memories bro!
Yo I love this man! Experience shows. There’s been nicer street trucks but never cooler trucks on this channel. This sumbitch is cool.
One of my favorite AutotopiaLA episodes for sure! Badass truck and hell of a great guy and club! Makes me wish I had my old 57 Chevy truck back I sold 25 years ago.
Blank is a bad man!!!! I don’t think I’ve seen a driver on this channel like him, he’s definitely one with that truck. That truck is awesome!!
Favorite video by far!!! Blank can really drive and your reactions were priceless 😂
This is probably the funnest episode that I have seen you air; these guys are awesome! Thank you.
This is exactly the kind of vid I want to see. Absolutely loved it. Great truck, beast of a motor, and a driver who actually drives. Can’t wait to see more from these guys.
This YT channel is bonkers ! Thanks for sharing all this amazing content with us guys. Car community is such a big family
He is the Bruce Lee of driving skills, EXTRAORDINARY!!! With as light as the trucks rear end is it can get away from you fast and this man is like, no big deal, just another day! MAD SKILLS!!!!!
💯 he puts the hellcat and mustang drivers to shame with old technology and a manual!
Had a 68 RS/SS Camaro back in the 1980's. At the street races in the San Fernando Valley 2x a week. Remember going to LA to see these guys run and remember his Green El Camino. We wouldn't bring our cars down there. Ever.
Tell me more I’m listening to
Had a 67 rs same time, sfv it was ablast. The LA scene wasnt for me, only went once I was warned abunch not to.
Used to run 3-4 nights a week in the valley good times. Cops left us alone nobody really got out of hand unlike today
@@gordocarbo Meet at Kevin's Burgers on Wednesday and Friday nights. Then race at Lassen and Canoga. Saturday nights on Glenoaks in Sun Valley. I ran all over the SFV.
I’ve never smiled so hard watching one of your videos. That thing is insane! and that guy is cool AF 😂
Me 2, I'm smiling bcuz I kno Blank... met him @ my family's auto shop back n the '80's... he isn't lying about his gr8 teacher- my uncle Mr Bruce Gray.... props 2 y'all
He’s the coolest and can drive! Such a fun video
i have been watching your channel for a long time, and you have had some fast cars and trucks but this truck... Man Brother has a bad ass real truck.. from the moment you 2 got in that truck every single time he got on it he left posi tracks all the way 1st 2nd 3rd you can see out the back window, when you camera crew films it.. that was hands down one of the nicest guys and bad bad bad Ass trucks you have ever shown.. props and the utmost RESPECT for the Gentleman that uses his truck for work and play. he was taught right that is a fact.. props to his Mom and Shop Teacher also for getting him right
Awesome truck. But I was actually excited when I herd 383 and thought he was down playing a 400 or 434 but then when he said 5.3 Ls I was 😫. Either way Awesome truck. Love that is he drives the crap out of it. Legend.
