We are back on the Isky T! It's time to finish this series out and it only ramps up in craziness from here. I know you guys have seen the final product, but hopefully that makes seeing the process of building it even better. In this episode DT takes 2 1932 Grill Shells from Speedway Motors and chops them up to make one shell - very similar to what was on the original car. He then makes a custom grill insert. I think you guys will enjoy this one!

Wow! Could watch Dennis forever. He never ceases to amaze!

[@tr6scott]

Just watching Dennis work and to be able to have the clear vision of what he wants to see, and then make it so, is just mind blowing to me. Such a gift to have him allow to be filmed, and let us look over the shoulder of a master at work.

[@L.A55]

Dennis is an absolute metal artist

[@MikeY77z28]

I can watch Dennis all day long doing his magic.Great educator.

[@moon-shine-garage7068]

I could watch, and learn, so much watching Dennis perform his magic all day...! Master craftsman..!

[@moon-shine-garage7068]

Dennis needs his own channel!

[@moon-shine-garage7068]

So many of us talk to ourselves in our shops, we are listening and learning every step of the way Dennis. You are a master!

[@donmears4090]

I bet Dennis was a sight to see when he was a child playing with an Erector Set or a pile of Legos. Watching him work is a gift to see. 😮🤯

[@IndianaTony]

This is such a great build, and DT did a really good job taking us through his process.

[@marlobreding7402]

I'm 72 and turned wrenches for about 60 if those years. But I always jumped first towards new tech, the Bleeding Edge. I can clearly see that 3 simple 3d printed spacer bar could clip onto the radiator shell so you could have simply snapped all bars in place and later weld on the bench. ❤ Almost forgot to heap High Praises on your Old School skills. Beautiful work.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Great idea. Only potential issue is that I find when I do this kind of thing is that when you try to do too much at once things generally go pear shaped. I think he was leaving the shell bolted to the car because he was worried about it pulling out of shape, so adding one bar at a time, while painful, was the easiest way to prevent it getting out of shape. When he had enough bars in he might have been able to use a more generic holder.

[@alvinpowell6189]

The craftsmanship and ingenuity of your dad is incredible, amazing and inspiring!! That was the best hour watching the KZbins in a long time.

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

Your Dad truly is an artist of Hot Rod building. He has the unique talent of being able to communicate with a novice like me so I can understand his process and learn .

[@userdoe]

so awesome watching an artist work.

[@CS_247]

Wow, beautiful piece of work! The whole rod is going to look the business, for sure. Masterful.

[@ronwelch6548]

I always enjoy watching him work. He can see it in his head and make it into real live.

[@dannmohr5721]

Your Dad is an old world craftsman in a new world……. Very interesting…… and I like your Dad takes pride in his works……something that lacks in a lot of so called craftsmanship of today……👍👍👍🫡🫡🫡

[@bobbendt1698]

Dennis has a real talent for fab work. Impressive sir. Very impressive.

[@CherokeesJeepLife]

You Talk about a Master at his craft

[@jeffwaldrop6005]

Dennis has some amazing skills.

[@jerrycoon3369]

Yeah the fab videos are cool. Your dad is very good at it.

[@buzzsaw5475]

I keep checking your site for new videos on this project, finally it ha arrived! i'm just starting to watch now, and I'm so sure its gonna be a great one, as all are! you guys sure know how to keep a feller in suspense!

[@RustyEast]

I enjoyed seeing the process and your Dad is a very talented fabricator.

[@markmccauley1923]

Dennis is the man! 😎

[@jesternangel]

THIS IS THE GENIOUS PART OF RWAT....THIS MAN IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS CHANNEL...KEEP IT UP DENNIS....WAS NATIVE TO SAN GABRIEL VALLEY TILL 2021 NOW A RESIDENT OF HARVEY COUNTY KANSAS...ALL THE GOOD BUILDERS I HAVE EVER MET ARE FROM CALIFORNIA.....

[@davidjohnson8474]

Dennis I'm really impressed in your work with stainless steel! Using a Tig makes it way better than the way my dad thought me to fix stainless on his 40 Ford with a torch to weld and fill broken trim!! I'm gonna try one on my new car!

[@robking9857]

Master craftsman, you are Dennis. Congrats on your own channel.

[@InnocentMiscreant]

This is what I'm here for learning the process is amazing to watch and easy to understand

[@johnfreeman648]

Thank you soooo much, I have been chomping at the bit waiting for this series since I talked to Meg when you guys were in Byron. Can't get enough of watching Dennis work his magic.

[@jrlittle2]

Dennis Taylor is a wizard with metal. All his work is incredible!!!

[@billyhouse1943]

amazing craftsmanship… thank you…

[@mrwyldman]

I love hearing the process and train of thought that goes into his builds!

[@Dalekennth1969]

Wow good job Mr T

[@johnnoisnothome]

That was rad, love to see more of your work Denis. Rock on✌

[@Chip_in]

Dennis you the man ⛳

[@tomasgunnarsson4715]

dennis makes nice hotrods

[@NorthernHDrider]

Dennis...... your amazing. To watch your hands build a grill inspires me to build a grill myself. Probably build it 3 times being picky, but will try. Thank you.

[@usmclee65]

Master fabricator and welder WOW !

[@vehdynam]

Great video , I could watch Dennis all day long and learn. Many thanks.

[@ronhodgkinson7683]

The tenacity of a Mad Scientist

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Ed still being around is so awesome. So great that he got to see this car before he passes. People dont even realize he pretty much birthed what we see of stripped down hot rods and the T bucket style 20 years before anyone else

[@leooshaben4254]

Nice work Dennis

[@jasonfikes9514]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Great video as always. ✌️😁

[@nickstuart2839]

love it all/love you all!!! Peace and love

[@ernestdurphy154]

That’s some pretty cool stuff right there! Incredible work!

[@bobbolieu9013]

I love listening to people like your dad work. Most folks would think that they are daft, not knowing up from down. Those folks would be missing the best part of the experience. Because your dad thinks out loud folks could assume that he doesn't know what he's doing. If they would listen closely though, then they could hear they countless hours of experience rolling around in their mind as they build and rebuild the car in their mind a hundred different ways always pursuing the look, the balance, the performance that they know is tucked away in the cold hard metal. We are only hearing a few words get out, while in their minds there are ten thousand ways to get there rattling around in their minds. Gene Winfield. Ian Rousel. Chip. Your dad. These are Titans in the automotive world who individually are wonders. Imagine standing next to them, learning as they share their knowledge, understanding and talents with us who are best served to be mere sponges soaking up an art form that is getting more rare with each day. I have had the pleasure of spending time with giants in other fields such as gardening, painting, construction, fishing and hunting to name a few. One thing is true with each and every one of them. Their speech patterns, the speed of movement, and that far away look about them only hints at the amount of experience on the scale of the Library of Alexandria. I have named men, but that in no way means that I have any less respect for women whom I also could have named. They too are treasures. Slow in speech, and measured in action your father is a marvel to me. Traits that I cherish. They have no need to prove who they are. They simply are.

[@rockercover]

Takes a special person to build something like this. (Driven by perfection). Outstanding , (by miles), work.

[@bigbay4740]

The extra brain power head scratch boosts appear to have worked out perfectly!!!

[@LoneWrencher]

dad makes great how to videos

[@roadking99jokerst60]

It surely is a neat trick . Thanks for showing this.

[@dynomax7497]

Wow, not too much "cookie cutter" going on there! Love the process and love the results.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Kind of job that just takes infinite patience. It's the difference between good and great.

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

Alex, interesting video--and you need to use sunscreen to "stay pretty". 😉

[@colby_graba]

I love those clips I used them to shorten 72 f100 long bed and make mini wheel tubs in the bed.

[@joelmurphy7980]

Well done is an understatement. People have no clue how many hours it takes for one man to build something. Four years into mine so far.

[@biggriggs]

Amazing work Dennis! thank you!

[@johnjunge6989]

As always Dennis, measure 2x, cut once! I don't know about you, but as a retired mechanic, my favorite thing was fabrication. When I worked for the factory of Mack Truck and the construction company, I had many times, to do what you are doing, make it look as close to original as possible! Great stuff!

[@houndog1]

very good build video dennis- thanks for sharing how to make parts come together and fit so it works for that project. love the camera work. the car is a true work of art!-charlie from arkansas.

[@jonce6750]

Damn Dennis you make it look so easy thanks for all the info im learning from this video

[@larrybeussink7737]

Glad to see this video! I’ve been looking forward to hearing it run.

[@scottgalyk8970]

Man you are a genius

[@billpewterbaugh2982]

Dennis does AMAZING work! His skill level is far above 99.9 % of the other builders.

[@travismorton7613]

DENNIS NEEDS A KZbin PAGE I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH THIS GUY WORK ON HIS CARS

[@richardhunn4298]

I like the 1/2" much better than the 1/4", good choice and beautiful work!

[@toddparker9269]

Hey Kiddo , I have INTENTIONALLY Not looked for or into this because I am invested in watching your Dad do his thing !!!

[@kellz28777]

[@greg4876]

Yeah I'm the same way, i think they call people like us " half assers"

[@RaymondGill-hi9ou]

Wing Ding fingers are called STUMPS here in australia

[@enricodigenova8112]

[@timwilliams4386]

Your dad could do a how to video and I would buy it

[@BenChilders-xt9fl]

I use a little 3” IR da to sand my stainless. You’d love it

[@Dagrond]

Rebuilds an engine with his daughter in a parking lot at the strip, metal fabricates custom automotive grills/art, anything this guy doesn't do? Probably does paint and body really well too. Mad skills.

[@agasrcng]

He does!! He painted our Anglia!!

[@lokedragracing]

Just Sayin , us other fabricators liked it withouth music all comments becouse it is imperessive fabrication and we all have the wooden blocks and cut materials ro use as spacers, your Dad rocks!

[@Grumpy_Stiltskin]

Awesome work! Would have covered the front of the radiator with something, as I bang into everything 😂😂

[@alnix7250]

Glad you are showing the build. Thanks Question...I assume you are using stainless for the grill...Can you share where to find stock like that?

[@mikelyons7297]

GRRRRRR Dennis, why could you not have shown this ten years ago.....LOL. We had to do the same thing when building my dad's bucket. Just kidding man great work, but it would have been helpful.

[@ronaldvuckovich6214]

looks great wd 40 will take that sticky off pretty easy

[@joegremin3057]

Dang Alex, your eyes are so pretty in this episode 😏

[@MrPatisgod]

[@Jimmyb918]

[@RussellTurner-cl6il]

[@jeremyhanna3852]

[@NorthernHDrider]

[@westmus]

It's Nicks white Camaro, she told elsewhere why she now use that as her daily when working in LA, instead of the Bug.

[@dax1701]

Can we please get more of whatever this is?

[@Loveflordagirlsinbluestuff]

💙

[@scottsmith5623]

I’m just picturing someone, on the maiden voyage, dropping the hammer and plowing straight into a tree and ruining Dennis’s hard, tedious labor.

[@gekicherbeeren]

25:35 looks like a 911 in the background

[@irishmurf138]

When you're filming your dad, you should listen to music. That is not copyrighted. So he gets to listen to something. And you won't get a strike

[@GenXERIC-4888]

Raise body mounts if need be
