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

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!!!

Making a straight piece of tin makes you the most talented on tube?Not much talent there then.

I'm here for Dennis. The man has built some beautiful amazing cars. Absolutely nothing against Alex. I just completely understand Dennis.

[@marcbaird869]

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!

[@3pedaljay231]

This was so awesome, I love seeing Alex and Dennis in their natural element

[@3pedaljay231]

Dennis, please Procharge that deal and go bottom 8's

[@bigdmo61]

Hi there, Burt Munro, is from Invercargill New Zealand. Love your videos.

[@paulstallings6910]

Megan should do story time/interviews with your Mom and Dad. They have so many great stories and knowledge.

[@westmus]

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.

[@jamesdetrick6035]

We don't mind the talking. You're racers, there is always a backstory.

[@johnjunge6989]

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!

[@christhomas8020]

I am seriously enjoying hearing your dad tell stories so good!

[@hq632]

You're going to upset some Kiwi's calling Burt Monroe Australian

[@ahooky5233]

Us Australian's claim a lot of kiwis but Burt was definitely from new Zealand

[@mc051961]

Wanna see dad race

[@ronaldrey8474]

I get it , but retirement is deserved. " Risk" just ask John Force's family is probably why.

[@IronRanger132002]

@@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.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Dennis has to beat that Mopar powered shitbox

[@westmus]

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.

[@stanlamb]

@@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

The more you talk the more we learn. Your dad is on a different level.

[@2fast4you423]

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 😎

[@THEVROD64]

Enjoy the 55 and Willis videos SOOOO much !

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!

[@barrybarry5803]

I can listen to you guys all day long!!!

[@craigforbes7185]

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.

[@kenadams2799]

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.

[@jamesr.epstein]

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.

[@davecaporicci6015]

I have commented in the past about how talented Dennis is, but had to say again just how amazing this gentleman is.

[@rabie95]

I can't wait to see Willy and 55 gasser on the track

[@stephenlea5765]

Racing each other!

[@pgbcredneck]

I always love hearing your dads stories, the extra time in the video is always worth it!

[@GregBurns-bp6hi]

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.

[@Tee_Spoons_Garage]

The best part your channel is watching you and your dad talk about old times. It makes me miss my dad more and more.

[@PimneHopi-d4w]

I just love you!! Classic music is life! I can work better, think better, and be grateful for life!

[@michaelhenderson5098]

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? 😱🤭👍

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.

[@angushoover8670]

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

[@vehdynam]

Wow , that and a Willys , too much . I love them both. Blower motor for the 55 for sure. Mike Finnegan has a hard time going 8:50 in Blasphemi with a Hemi; I'd love to see Dennis do it with a BBC. Many thanks.

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.

[@bigbelconut]

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.

[@67stangracer]

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

How is the big truck coming ur dad's building? The one where the steering column flips up with the hood.

[@1sicsrt]

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!
