The intelligence stored in the head of Dennis is incredible. His talent as a fabricator is incredible. Love this video series.

It's insane, now most of us just use Google like a calculator on a math test. I pay attention to everything he speaks on as to how he got here and his progression of business because we function better without needing the crutch(calculator) and it's nice when someone can point out some booby traps to not step in. My biggest take away from him is I need to get my ass in a higher gear. It's conceivable that to really learn from one's mistakes you almost have to just throw yourself blind into problems and learn your way out.

Watching this engine come apart is proof of just how well Dennis built this originally. Over the top craftsmanship in every part.

The next time you loose audio I think Dennis should speak for Alex and Alex for Dennis😂 It is so cool to see Dennis say I couldn't find a timing cover so I made a mold and cast one. That is the type of hot rodder that is from a time before... making rockers is another thing that is just too cool. Thank you for keeping us posted!

Dennis…you say you have a bad memory 🤦‍♂️ you have probably forgotten more about motors than many of us have ever known. The diary is the most valuable advice you can give any Motörhead (or anyone really). We all have projects that we don’t get back to as soon as we think…and we NEVER remember as much as we think we do or will…over document and take pictures…with todays technology it is much easier and doesn’t have to be pen and paper…zip-locks and a Sharpie plus a camera and video…I will use the “speech to text” to dictate notes even. 99% of it will never be looked at again…but for that 1% it is all worth it.

I’m really glad you started down this road with your dad and that neglected old school project car. I’m older and I like your dad, even though I still like and follow you Alex. On KZbin and Motortrent. There’s still a lot to be learned from the old man, I believe. Before we put him out to pasture. LOL (I think I’m older than him)

I feel ya on the "past that" chapter in your life... 😂 I bought a great car from a friend like you for the same reason... He kept the engine and found the problem a few months later. It was a simple fix that he had just not expected. I was extactic because it meant my first tube chassis, narrowed rear, tilt front cap race car. ❤️ As a teenage kid, a dream come true 😊 God is good

Traveled, wrenched w/a BB/FC in the early 80's I think. Lots of 92's went through that thing, eventually it had a couple of Donovan's were it. Lot of trips to local machine shop to mag cranks. It was around the time KB's were taking over. To get it in a Nation event show usually the blower wound up hanging from the fuel lines. it had some kind of connection to KS!

So very many, and all top shelf parts. So glad you kept most of your cars. And your right, you have a huge hard drive, it's the old in us that doesn't let us retrieve it fast as we once did, but it's all still up there. Thanks Taylor Family. Love yall 💙🧡💜💚❤. ✌🏻🧡 🇨🇦.

Eagle One Etching Formula Mag Wheel Cleaner. For the satin finish on cast covers. Has a mix of Hydrofluoric acid and a soap which actually strips a thin layer of alum off. Truck Stop Washers use the Hydro acid straight, to strip Commercial wheels and fuel tanks, headache racks and running boards, ect that ARE NOT painted, but just rough aluminum(or machined) aluminum. The Truck Stop Wash usually use a neutralizer for the stuff, but you can just use alot of water for rinsing and accomplish the same goal. It pretty much will sterilize the metal it cleans off, and that's noo joke. Keep it out of your eyes!. Really cool to see the custom work on the 392. Thanks for sharing all that time invested and hard fought knowledge. Can't wait to hear it run!!!. Keep him going Alex!. I think he it starting to like The Monster again. It keeps pulling you back in, just when you thought you were out!!.
