The Front End TILTS!! - 55 Build - Video 13

While this may not seem like a HUGE accomplishment... it is!! The front end on the 55 Quest for the Sixes build is attached, fitted, and tilting. Think.... Two Lane Blacktop old school meets the 21st Century. You don't typically seem a tilt front end on cars that are running these projected speeds and e.t.s. But, the idea behind this was that this allows for a single person to raise or lower it to check fluids or even work on it rather than have to have another person to help lift up the front end and take it off. But! If we really want it removed and out of the way, that is an option as well. Tilt-able and removable... win-win!
As always a HUGE thank you to these great companies for being a part of this build and video series!

No fighting, no drama, no 24 hour deadline to get the car done ? Just a cool family building cool racecars ? Love it!!

[@stephenherrera124]

So true. I think drama on TV gets ratings? Had a friend that worked on a "reality" show that built cars. He said they tell you what to say, you know "reality." lol

[@BrydonMedeiros]

@@stephenherrera124 I don't know how people don't see this it's so obvious! Can't stand the made up drama that's why I watch channels like these for real car building

SEMA worthy is an understatement. His stuff looks great, and functions! Half the crap at SEMA isn’t even functional.

For sure, and the amount of forward thinking is beyond me, I'd just make the part, not consider every possible implication of it's design on the life of the racecar! Amazing family :)

[@randywl8925]

20% of his skill level would be miles beyond average. he just looks at something and somehow instantly knows what needs to be done and how to do it. Just totally amazing.

[@Timberwolf69]

@@randywl8925 Yeah, he seems to be CADing in his mind, most of the time.

[@rodneyphillips3520]

I’m halfway through and really hoping Dennis is going to do voiceover like the last video, that was absolute gold. Thank you for the catch up videos I feel like I’m chilling in the shop watching a master at work, without being able to ask him dumb questions and make stupid comments.

[@MohdSaad-qi8ic]

[@BBossman1]

The unsung "hero" in this is definitely your Mom quietly working in the background.

I’m pretty sure she laid all the fiberglass for the doors and that amazing front clip! She’s definitely a bad ass!

[@GeoffInfield]

@@Bendejo-lm8wo A quiet achiever for sure! Plus bits of mom can be found in almost every time lapse lol, supporting something. The family feel of this build really gets me smiling :)

[@darley04]

100% agree. Mom has way more knowledge and competence in building fast cars than she gets credit for. The skills alone to lay up that front clip are beyond many.

One of the baddest documents of a build i have ever watched.... Dennis is a fricking master mind i love it....

The tilt mechanism is amazing! Mr T, you’re a genius.

[@unchained20000000]

Dad's new saying is go fast stay safe & build it pretty. lol.

[@ddevil4980]

The speed at which your dad designs fabricates and builds is truly impressive. I was in metal fab and a lead brake operator for 14 years and most shops would kill for talent like his. Hell you and your mom as well! Just a talented family..

[@alvinpowell6189]

I love watching Dennis work and listening to him explain what, why and how he will build something! It’s amazing to watch and see the results! That’s going to be an amazing ’55!!

[@guitarsword1]

“Stay extra pretty” Dennis . Tilt is awesome.

[@johnbutz5631]

Mr. Taylor = Genius. There a lot of smart people but few who can conceptualize and then create functioning parts as he does! Taylor is so humble and charming without even trying, the whole family is amazing.

[@quickdeuce]

I didn't read all the comments to see if anyone else touched on this BUT one thing comes to mind as we watch Dennis walk us through the fab of this amazing tilt front end,, there's no computer program or computer 'mock up'. Dennis has the finished tilt mechanism IN HIS MIND. He does the mock up IN HIS MIND, searches for and solves the majority of the issues IN HIS MIND. Then he executes with precision and no wasted materials or time. People, we're watching a Master Craftsman at work here. Awesome work Sir!!

[@donmears4090]

Watching your Father create that masterpiece 55 with his hands is a sight to behold. What kind of music does he keep cranked up in the shop because I need that when I'm working on my car. 🔊🎸🥁🎷🎺🎶!!!

[@charlesherrick7400]

Please tell your Mom...she did a excellent job on the slick new front end. It looks like glistening water at sunrise.

[@CraigConnors]

I am about the same age as your dad, but with spinal stenosis and nerve problems in my legs and arms it keeps me from doing this type of work that I love. It really helps me keep my sanity to watch your dad work and perform his fabrication magic.

Great job, Dennis and family. One of the best shows on the net by a distance.

[@billypeters3249]

I want to make another comment. A 55 chevy is my favorite car. I'm 64 an old school gear head from Alabama your dad is an artist. He took that scrap yard candidate and made a car out of it. With your and your mom's help of course.

[@gregsimon9061]

Coming along nicely, I love how your dad looks at how he wants to pivot the front end and next thing you know he’s fabed it up and it’s perfect. What an amazing man.

[@tomphillips7858]

Kids, let’s be honest here. DT builds some badass race cars. He might not wanna do all the YT bs, but the man bends some prime metal to make this beast happen . While rocking some clean ass Vans. Respect. Super impressed.

[@slackjaw703]

Your parents create cars almost as beautiful as their daughter. To make that hood come together like that is truly amazing. None of the work he’s doing is nearly as easy as he makes it seem on camera, as everyone who has ever struggled to get their kinda stuff right already knows.

Talk about always thinking ahead... use shims so you can use different shims as required years down the track, mount things so that there's nothing in the way when they're removed, again and again designing things to be worked on, maintained, removed by one person... but as cool as watching this amazing build is, I'd have been perfectly happy with 10 second video with JUST that driveshaft in it 😍
