Worlds First To Be Sold!!! HYDROGEN Powered 57 Chevy with an ICE HEMI !!!

[@pauleiler5648]

I got to meet Clay and Jeff @ SEMA, what a thrill. Clay came over and chatted with my father and I about the 57 for a good 20 minutes, what a thrill for both of us! I can't say this any more clearly, Clay approached us like old friends, his enthusiasm on this project was so cool and he is the same guy we see here on his channel! I have been lucky to meet some pretty famous people in my life. I will never forgot our conversation with Clay... Thank you for making a bucket list day for my father and I (being at SEMA together) so special. See you in Pomona!

Another Canadian here. I had the opportunity to meet Clay years ago at the Edmonton Drag strip in the IHRA days and DUDE!!!!! you ripped it up big time and were very gracious with your time . Thank you for that. Thats a hell of a project and as a MOPAR guy I love the HEMI in the CHEBY. Cheers to the whole crew. Awesome!!!

I'm glad someone finally used hydrogen correctly I don't want to say the manufacturer but I took some training on some vehicles and they had too plans one was CNG the other was hydrogen but the unsafe way and they invested way too much into the prototype

@claymillican25 heck yeah man, i think the folks would love it. You and your family have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend Clay. God Bless brother.

[@jeffhill2089]

The car looks awesome. If I could change 1 thing it would be the fuel cell. Chip built a hydrogen Chevelle a while back and used a fuel cell that fit in the stock fuel tank location. Other than that the build looks flawless. I even like the hemi. Build your drive train as a kit and get it out there where every hotrodder can have one.

[@borgonianevolution]

Man at the 10 minute mark when that tall announcer started talking and the cameras panned back... I was waiting for Clay and Jeff to break out in song and sing the "Lollipop Guild" song from the Wizard of Oz. Ya'll looked so tiny then. Follow the SEMA Brick Road.. FOLLOW THE SEMA BRICK ROAD. I am looking forward to when this car shows up on Jay Leno's Garage. That would be the PERFECT place for it to start. He has the money to benefit the program the car was built for. He has the resources to keep it well maintained and used. Finally he has the means to show case it and promote the technology in a good way.

[@claymillican25]

That would be awesome if Jay would buy it.

[@dwaynesullivan-qo2iz]

BIG thanks to all involved for doing the.

Great presentation and teamwork for making this happen. I hope that some day SEMA will see fit to open this show to the public for at least one day even if they limit the admission to a certain number on a first come first serve basis.

Pretty sure it is open to the public on Friday.

[@josiahpoirier5449]

Huge talent on that stage builders and drivers alike. I’ve always loved the tech behind these kinds of builds. Exciting future anything that keeps the classics alive.

Congrats on a one of a kind build.

[@wolfman3295]

This was very interesting and I hope it all goes well. Clay I love your videos mostly because they make me laugh with your (and Jeff's) wonderful sense of humor (that part about the husband and wife really made me laugh) and special thanks to Donna for her part in making this video. Special thanks to CRC and Tech Force the fab four here. And I almost forgot to mention that it was so great to see one of my all time favorite top fuel drivers and champions Larry Dixon! I do remember way back when it was "the battle of the beer wagons" between Larry and Kenny Bernstein.

I’ve heard rumors that Toyota has been working for several years on hydrogen vehicles. Their Prius hybrid and other models are good vehicles. But they soon realized that the total electric vehicle was pie in the sky except for a tiny portion of the market.

[@christhomas5794]

Hi from the uk

[@clintonsmith9931]

No joke, how big and heavy is the fuel tank. A friend ran a propane 51 Olds with stick back in the 50s. I ha a 63 pu with propane. But mileage was Les and power down. Always wished for a device to advance timing on propane and Retarding on regular gas. Electronic stuff now could do that. Nothing will make me young again tho. Good luck.

[@shophemi]

The tank is spun aluminum wrapped in carbon fiber. Empty is weighs just over 100 pounds. Filled with hydrogen, it weighs about 110 pounds.

[@AllSpeed]

the infrastructure and making hydrogen cleanly will be the biggest issues to overcome.

[@wufler28]

Nice build. Try and drive it through Denmark and see if you can find a place to fill it up. Spoiler, you can't.
