I did that on his 1st video

[@dieseldabberdoug8285]

Too late I did on his first video.

@@ppadwell1498Absolutely!

[@Johnsmusic416]

This guy is the reason Alex is so successful!! He works his ass off!! Great job!!

[@RexCars1]

100% TRUTH !!!

Yup,they make a great team ❤

[@zepedrofd]

And he is successful thanks to an awesome wife behind him!

[@jerryfrederick6610]

That girl can drive!

[@chrisprieur270]

The engineering side of my brain really likes seeing what went into the machine that's flying down the track. Lots of great stuff going on to make things work together. Also a big thanks to Deb for working the camera to help make these videos happen.

[@JohnLittle-ze7sp]

This man is a true craftsman right here

[@js7127]

Thank you Debbi for helping this happen. You two make the OG team and we really appreciate the content.

[@calebwine988]

This is what i really enjoy watching when it comes to the car stuff. I like the whole thought and engineering process of what makes these cars work and do what they do.

[@theoldmansgarage]

I look forward to learning from your program Dennis. Thank you

[@mikeanderson7206]

I was just going to say the same thing and say you and Dennis are my favorite 2 channels. Watching you and Dennis is like hot rod go fast chevy class

[@RyanFannon-fy1yf]

This man is giving us a wealth of knowledge. Thank you

[@paulsherman6450]

I am glad you finally started a channel so we can see the magic behind the scenes.

[@doggonedk]

Been a fan of your work for quite some time. Love your philosophy of gettin' her done with a BBC when everybody else is going SMX this or Proline that. Your attention to detail is second to none. And you're common sense approach to fixing known issues. You keep putting them out there brother I'll keep watching.

[@InnocentMiscreant]

The recirculating catch cans on the valve cover are genius

[@FUCK_________googIe]

It's not really, it is just a band-aid for a problem that should be solved another way. And it definitely wasn't puking oil for the reason that he thought it was, and on top of that, it probably isn't even a problem anymore. So now it's just a bunch of extra under-hood complexity that is not necessary

[@yodawunn6700]

I don't know how YT stats work, just wanted to say I really like the long video format but can't always watch it all at once so if that stats show people not watching it all, doesn't mean they aren't coming back to finish. Enjoy it a lot, please keep on keepin' on, remember, you can never go fast enough.

[@roytouet1203]

19 thousand subscibers after 1 show Dennis thats incredible

[@jerryfrederick6610]

To watch Dennis stop and think while in action planning his next three tasks is amazing. Watching a smart car guy do his thing is just amazing.

[@HermanMunster-o2j]

Ur a genius! Amazing how a man thinks when it comes to protecting there children. 👍🙏

[@ParishWitt]

Your approach to problems is simple yet inspiring. Thanks for starting your channel and giving us insight to your skills.

[@39ford59]

Great to see your work and see that everything is done for a purpose. Best line I'm doing this for my kid to be safe. I wish more people would be this thoughtful.

[@billb412]

Hey Dennis, you are doing a great job, few guys impress me with their engineering abilities but you are awesome and extremely detailed and one hell of a moderator with awesome camera gal. Keep up the awesome work and supporting your awesome daughter Alex.

[@brucesumner6993]

Thanks Dennis! Making race car fabrication make common sense.

[@jont8707]

Awesome to see all the subs so fast Dennis lots of us want to watch the wizard work 👍🏻

[@GaryHerbert-g5g]

And just like that, your subscribers have doubled since your 1st video. I subscribed when you had just over 4 000 & within a day you were at 10 000 & a week later, you've doubled again. 😊

[@rickfazzini22]

Like said before we are so lucky Mr. Taylor is sharing his hard earned knowledge and skills for a mere thumbs up and a subscription. Thank you Sir this is awesome!

[@BobHerrick]

Well, as a long time hot rodder who also likes to make my own stuff you have impressed me for what it’s worth . You’re a true craftsman, easily on your way to the top of Hot Rod KZbin videos worth watching.

[@jariviitanen2542]

It is great to see Professor Taylor at his work👍👍💪💪

Loving the channel Dennis! Been watching the Taylor crew on Alex's channel and always am impressed by what you accomplish! Keep it up! Enjoy watching!

[@TorontoModifiedKarKlub]

Aside from the great content. The knowledge he passes along. I am happy to see someone else with tools on the floor and parts here and there. 👍

[@kerryroach6032]

Glad you started your channel the technical information is awesome

[@Rebar77_real]

This is great. All the tips! We all need more fast people at Drag and Drives!

[@davidreed6070]

I like the thinking out loud.why and why not.

[@jonashoeeghtoftmouritsen6836]

Everything Is gold!!! Love waching all the things that are done the way they are for 54 smaller reasons than what their initial purpose is.

[@mattmabus9406]

Modern touches on old school hot rodding and common sense solutions to common shortcomings of a traditional BBC. Keep up the good work.

[@justme7995]

Hey Dennis....71 year old Hotrod wanna be here and I am living a lot of my dream through you and your family. I am so glad to see you started your own Channel and anyone who is into cars would be crazy not to subscribe here. This man is the king when it comes to building cars. I appreciate all you do! You are "Bitchin" lmao!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JOSHFLYBOY007]

Congrats on the great week!! Team Taylor rocks! You are the man Dennis. Hope you keep up the channel.

[@codywrites]

Great job, Dennis! Sorry y'all didnt win Drag Week but your car is dependable and consistent and that's all that truly matters!

[@timlarson9193]

The ingenuity in that noggin is amazing! 😁👍

[@hectorraigosa7149]

This gave me some ideas to refine and route my cooling and fuel lines better and more presentable when popping the hood at car events on my 65 SS pro touring.

[@Pixture2]

After having seen the Drag Week vids, we now see the super ENGINEERING that went into this incredible race car! Proof that experience tops a paper degree every time. I know first hand - my engineering education took 38 years of working to complete until retirement. Rock on Dennis!

[@nickheiland3397]

This is the kind of guy I thrive to be like. For family and just for what you want to be in life. I will watch every video n try to be as good a man as you are. Keep giving us a legacy to try and hope to leave as good as yours will be.

[@tomebel7149]

So many great reminders in this video... thanks much Dennis... you're the best and I love your pace of speech... very reassuring!!

[@Hangar18Fabrication]

Congrats on starting your channel Dennis! It was a pleasure speaking with you and the rest of your family during HRDW 2024. We were pitted next to you at Indy with the twin turbo 1972 Vega fighting brake problems. I look forward to the great content!

[@joshopfermann5556]

Saw you at Milan. Good job on Drag Week.

[@terrenceadams3481]

Hey Dennis! I have watched Alex from her very first video! What a racer she has become. A real nice Lady like the rest of your family. I am glad you have started your own channel because your skill set is just amazing!! me like you I want it right and I don’t settle for anything less. Welcome aboard look forward to your video’s. Fantastic work my friend👍🏻😃

[@jimpotter5411]

Thanks Denis, great content!!!

[@PhiddyPford]

What a great family! Thank You!

[@Cleatus46]

I enjoy your new series. Watching you work on the '56 reminds me of helping another really good mechanic work on a '65 GTO funny car named "Brutus" in San Jose, CA. I wish the guy I was helping would still be around to see how technology had evolved to allow a 6 second car be driven on the street and make it to the next racetrack. Brutus was a high 8 second car on 25% nitro and not capable of being driven on the street. He would have so enjoyed the whole concept and process of drag and drive and would have been very impressed with Alex. Oh well, that was almost 60 years ago, and he is now long gone. Drag racing is far out! ☺

[@stephenphillips4507]

Dennis love the 55 and the work you put in to make it go fast with a BBC instead of a proline hemi or some other manufacturer keep up the good work I see this car running 5 in the future

[@VeeDubs2022]

Truly enjoy you sharing your fabrication and engineering knowledge!!! Top notch stuff here!!!!

[@bradchandler6967]

I'm enjoying your new channel Dennis ! I started following Alex back when she was running "Badmaro", so obviously I've seen the '55 since it came in from outside for the first time. Anyone new to your channel who may not be familiar with this build should check out the entire thing from start to finish on "Riding With Alex Taylor". It's good to see some of the little details like in this video that might not have been shown during the build. I've been very impressed by your design and fabrication skills Dennis, and it's so cool you're sharing your ideas and experiences with everyone. It was nice to see Billy helping you guys out with the methanol tank seam repair too. He's come a long way over the past few years himself. I'm 75 now and I've dabbled in drag racing, asphalt, dirt, and even ice roundy-round racing, low level truck pulling, built a few Harleys, and did a LOT of street racing in the late '60's-'70's. I'm a lifelong FORD guy but appreciate any nice classic vehicles, especially ones like yours that are built and raced by you and not "store bought" !! And congrats on the 2nd place finish at "Drag Week" and guitar #2 !!

[@jimzivny1554]

Dennis you called the fuel tank "Frankenstein" i think its genius. Its like a perfect sump for the pump to draw from.

[@Dudelumb]

From another old school car guy. Love and appreciate your amazing abilities. With your own podcast, we get the why and how. Keep the details…Debbi is an awesome angel. Keep it fast, family and grouchy 😂!

[@biggriggs]

Well i started watching "meg nolan" then i had to get moving up the road then hot rods by dennis taylor came on so now im going to watch meg do nolans job! sure do enjoy the videos dennis! sure hope you have one on the cabover and the blue 55! thanks dennis!

[@brianschmidt2747]

Dennis thank you now I know where to mount my alternator. Brilliant

[@paultaylor9939]

Keep doing what you are doing Dennis it’s great watching you do your stuff cheers

[@petert511]

This is my type of video. Thank you, Debbie and Dennis. I will watch this channel too among your rest.

[@charliedavis6143]

Your fab work & engineering is very helpful & food for thought. Keep it up.

[@thedefendertheboston4160]

Congrats on the new channel. Having a daughter myself, My heart is in my mouth when off roading. I can only imagine how you feel. But so good to see you extra precaution you take for you child. Must be a lot of pressure. I take my hat off to you. But I do have one issue, Where is the "Stay bitchin" close off ?🤣🤣🤣

[@donpruett9194]

Thanks for another interesting video, I enjoy watching your videos and I'm so impressed with your knowledge and expertise. I like that if you need a part you just make it.

[@FredieFarmer60]

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 your attention to detail is second to none

[@supersportjames9452]

This is awesome. Awesome team. Love the behind the scenes stuff. When he started explaining all the lines is when my brain started clicking into overdrive lol

[@deanhardesty7528]

Thank you for sharing another great video.Looking forward to seeing the next one.

[@brettgarvin6849]

[@billpewterbaugh2982]

GREAT Videos Dennis Thanks so much for sharing what you do!!

[@mikebu6729]

Dennis, I love your channel. This will be the first channel I will look at each day. Your skills and knowledge are worth sharing and you are a GREAT teacher. Thank you.

[@xozindustries7451]

Great work, congrats on drag week. I have one of those blue point carts also, I just got a new Harbor Freight one that’s taller with more drawers that I can roll around to the car and work out of so I don’t have tools all over the floor and car anymore and I find I put away the tools right away as I use them without making as much of a mess I need to clean up later.

[@jesternangel]

FOR THOSE OF US WHOM KEEP UP THE MANIFOLD WORKED VERY WELL AT DRAG WEEK..CAR SEEMS TO BE HAPPY WITH THE NEW DESIGN...YOU GOT MY SUB THE DAY YOU RELEASED THE FIRST VID AS MY WIFE SAW IT POP UP IN MY FEED...KEEP EM GOING SIR AND THE SUB COUNT SHOULD KEEP RISING.. ENJOY WATCHING SOMEONE WHOM HAS AS MUCH KNOW HOW AS YOU DO...THUMZ UP TO YOU..CONGRATS ON DRAG WEEK...

[@joegreig7470]

I love the way Dennis thinks about these cars. He gives you insight which is way more important than part swapping.

[@mrmongo6722]

Thanks for another informative video I greatly appreciate it! 🍻

[@philiphoffmann4363]

Non stop tips and tricks. Buckets of knowledge. Thanks

[@ronn147]

Man can I come work with you for a while? Your a genius with your fabrication/overall knowledge on your car. This is all so smart well done!

[@AlDavis-fm7sm]

I can see why your work looks,,,so good your a perfectionst or how ever it's spelled,,,,, man I'm so glad you started your KZbin channel,,,,,it will pay off for you in the long run,,,, plus at 70 I've learned quite a bit of stuff from you,,,,,1 more thing I bet Bill and Billy the kid was glad to see you at their shop,,,,,, thank you sir Al Davis

[@motorpsycho417]

Hey Dennis, the bit about reducing the number of fittings, joiners and o-rings really hit a chord with me! I've been going through my fuel system and modifying/changing things to do the same. With a fuel burning Donovan in my face the fewer opportunities for leaks the better! Love the channel!

[@serget2168]

Since you're learning something, give a 👍 and thank him

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

The brilliance in the simplicity, (common sense approach), of how you've dealt with evacuating and reintroducing the oil in the top of the motor on deceleration at the top of the track is masterful. The redundancy and safety optimizations in the mods you've made are great to see and learn from. I doubt I will ever apply them myself being older and basically medically retired but as someone who grew up turning wrenches it's still good to know. I always find it interesting to see exactly how these high horsepower applications are made to run safely, strong and reliably as they can. As you said at these levels things break, it's just part of the game and expected but you've done your best to alleviate and provide redundant safeties that are functional and work well as you've shown. I've already seen your stellar performance at drag week turning on a 6 second pass at all venues, something only a few ever achieve. Congratulations and it has to feel so good knowing all that hard word has paid off and seeing the smile and pride on your daughters face just has to be the cherry on top. Thanks for sharing your expertise and years of experience as someone in the position of having been there and done that at the higher levels of the sport. Hope this finds you and yours doing great. Take care and God Bless...

[@billywird]

Yes sir you make a good point about making sure you have everything tightened. I had an International cabover that I did a major overhaul on the Cummins engine and i had never done one of those engines. Well when I installed the front balancer I tightened it but had it in mind to torque the bolts after I had the bottom end done and could hold the engine while torquing the bolts. Well guess what. I actually ran the truck for a few runs and coming back from Atlanta to Jacksonville I noticed a vibration. The next day got up under the truck and surprise surprise. The balancer was all warped half the bolts fell out and there were just a couple holding the balancer on. Fortunately the threaded holes in the end of the crankshaft were OK and I got a new balancer and of course bolts. I think that if I had gone another twenty miles that balancer would have come off and I would have had a bad day. That'll learn ya all right. New better and will not do that again. It is not to satisfy the keyboard warriors to use a jack stand or stands under a vehicle. I knew a man who was under a car just briefly and checking something and he had the car on a floor jack and the damn jack gave way and fortunately because the vehicle still had the wheels on it bounced and tapped him on the head. If the tires weren't on the vehicle it would have killed him. Be safe man, we want to see you in the future.

[@MrLangleylad]

Another killer video, I’ve picked up so many useful tips in these two videos that without a doubt will make my hot rods quicker and safer. Thanks Dennis 👍🏻

[@schoonymopar]

I like the fact Dennis builds every inch of the car, that fuel tank is GENIUS no one else had that but I'll bet there's more out there now.

[@AlDavis-fm7sm]

1 more thing your so brilliant running the liquids into the rails very,,,,very smart,,,,, thank you again sir

[@gtpsic]

Thanks Dennis- i enjoyed the video and glad you came here

[@OGTtom]

More awesome fabrication

[@rstevens4824]

Dennis I really am enjoying your videos and I got to tell you you build one badass race car

[@haroldgeist-w4o]

You keep making videos we will continue watching

[@douglawrence9616]

I have already learned so much from you now this is even better! You have that engine running perfect, it sounds so good. Great post!

[@KTMGREG55]

No words , just in awe watching the thought and creativity and simplicity and safety all in one sexy hotrod pkg 🤯👌👏

[@GerrySteinke]

Big fan and congrats on setting up the channel ... looks like it will be a winner. I'm an old drag racer from Canada and I mean real old. Took me a while to recognize the edit errors. That's not a shot ... the content is dead nuts for all of us who never built a 6 sec. tri 5 BBC ! Keep going, edits will not be any harder than building the cars that you do !

[@allenbensinger228]

I love how Dennis is so matter of fact!! A no bullshit kinda guy...

[@NotmeGK123]

That’s good idea on valve cover puck tanks nice

[@JKadison]

I love the reality of your new series, no B.S. just a real tech doing things the right way!

[@cptkirkp]

Love this shit - its like an invitation into the mind of the master

[@frederik32212]

I'm really enjoying all of the little details and tricks that make the car work and the stories of what you've tried that didn't work. Stuff like the frame rail water puke tank, etc.. keep it coming!

[@jamesrowan4175]

Dennis love watching your projects. You and my old man are like peas in a pod. You guys know how to get it done. Appreciate you sharing this. The editor needs a little help. But definitely like the ideas on the accessory drive.

[@josephnickola877]

Modifying your fuel tank to Function as a puke tank as well, and it automatically feeds back into the oil pan is nothing but pure genius . you got a pretty good thinking cap Dennis. Awesome video !!!

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@williamward7707]

Good Stuff....Alex is an exceptional driver, Megan a top notch videographer, Dennis a number one Hot Rod Builder. Thank you Debbi for making all this happen...
