RetroNova did SO dang good last year... and here we are ripping it apart so it's engine and transmission can go in the 55. A bitter sweet moment! I really did hate tearing it apart and I look forward to when we can put it back together but it was SO exciting to be a point where the 55 was actually ready for it's motor! I got everything stripped off the Nova, and had it to a point where it was ready to pull as soon as we could use it. For those that have been asking about the details on the 55 motor - that's in this video too! A 509 BBC with twin 88 mm Precision turbos that will run on methanol for racing. With a fully build Turbo 400 with a pro mod shaft from Jake's Performance. While I was taking the Nova apart, dad was working on power windows and quarter windows in the 55. Because really... power windows are REALLY nice in a race car. He goes into a detailed explanation of how he made the power windows work with our homemade carbon fiber / fiber glass doors. Hope you enjoy! As I mention in the video, we are about 5-6 videos out from seeing a running and driving car... I will do my best to get them out to you guys ASAP! Thanks for hanging in on this Quest for the Sixes!

Thank You Taylor Family! Dad and Mom need to get more credit than they do. Alex is SO lucky to have them supporting her in everything that she does. A great Wholesome American Family!

@fishpony1211 3 года назад

Holy crap!! Watching your dad make power windows is insane… i would have gave up and glued a sheet of plexi lol. This guy is a genius!

@tomtucker8849 3 года назад

Dennis makes these builds look effortless but they aren't. He has just done it so many times it comes natural to him. I like the fact that he has no helpers other than family members.

@BlindBatG34 Год назад

I started binge watching the ‘55 build the past couple days. This is the best car show ever. It’s what every Saturday morning car show should have been. Rest in Peace doors. :(

@ThomasELeClair 3 месяца назад

,,,,,I remember all the car shows on cable,,,,back in dee day ; all the fast talkin etc etc. etc . That was the beginning ; Who could ever have imagined this greatness and professionalism we witness here in the Taylor's shop ; I feel like I'm there..........................................................

Dennis Taylor is single-handedly inspiring generations of people all over the world to enter this amazing world of car building...I will bet that many young (and old) folks are being inspired to take on their own projects...Watching a master is very inspirational...Thank you, Mr. Taylor...You are a gifted, talented craftsman with well-earned skills.

@markmckeachnie4484 3 года назад

Your Dad is a genius I could watch him build things and learn from him all day everyday .

@wesleybateman5837 3 года назад

Dennis Taylor , you are the man ! Extreme fabrication looks easy watching you !

@colemcmeans7809 3 года назад

being a long series is kind of the best part, this shit is awesome. Dennis Taylors vast knowledge is borderline magical to me. its not a long series, its a detailed series.

@randywl8925 3 года назад

I wonder how many guys and gals watching have their jobs dropped to the floor when your dad's finger pressure close that door perfectly. 😁 That's just incredible. 👍

@tankdog03ify 3 года назад

You have a really great dad, that man would literally do anything to make his beautiful daughter happy and smile.. such a great guy... very lucky girl

@BUTCH0120 3 года назад

it is so nice to see a [non-disfunctional] family work together with no drama to move a project forward

@doubleT84 3 года назад

I bet there are moments of drama in the background but you can see that there's communication and I guess from them working together they're working on issues together with a posivite mindset.

@markcargile 3 года назад

I can honestly say I very impatiently wait for the next installment of this series. I love seeing your dads skills at work, with his humor added is it’s truly enjoyable. The relationship you guys all have is very special, it just makes waiting for the next video all that much more unbearable LOL.

@impulsivesevans9265 3 года назад

Dennis is fantastic builder. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have been paying attention to people like this since I was a boy and it has helped me get to where I am 40 plus years later.

@jamesbranner4029 3 года назад

I'm absolutely blown away with the talent your dad has! Forsure he is definitely a master craftsman

@jesseaviman 3 года назад

You guys should have your own show on tv, you do great work and are very natural with cameras in your face. I’d watch!

@TK-fp5fp Год назад

Denis is an amazing fabricator and what a wealth of knowledge, definitely an irreplaceable asset for ATR.

Today I learned from this video that you should use bright colored tape when you're doing lines so that you can remember stuff. Riding (high) with Alex Taylor. I kid, I kid! Excellent build series!

@vehdynam 3 года назад

Thanks ! Keep the videos coming . I learn so much here, your dad is very skilled !

@soulcontractor1641 3 года назад

Alex, i can't get over your Dad he's so Understated!! What " Cool Dude"!! Now ( We) know a little more about what your Dad likes the Nova!! We can't forget how " Cool" you are too Alex and Let's not Forgot Mom!! Fibreglass Queen and probably much much more!! Now Let's Go Racing!! ( Soul)

your dad Dennis is a great hands on builder. a tip from a old sign guy that loves street cars and drag racing Lexan can be cut in a shear. it won't crack like plexi glass try a scrap'

@janeblogs324 3 года назад

Wish Muricans would use material names not brand names for everything (fk Kleenex) Poly carbonate or acrylic

@mikeh3851 3 года назад

Don't feel bad for the Nova. Knowing your Dad, he'll build it back bigger, better, stronger... May have to change it's name to the Bionic Nova... BTW. Love Mika. She looks just like my pup of 17 happy years...She used to lay with her paws tucked under just like that. Give her a hug for me, please

Hey Alex, you have to get these videos to us a little fast. We can't wait to see the 55 running. Plus, we miss your beautiful smile.

@mitchhuested6244 3 года назад

Hey Alex, remind your dad that he can polish scratches out of Lexan as well. We do that on old aircraft windshields at my shop. It's less time-consuming than making new windows every time.

@donpruett9194 3 года назад

Alex I loved your frowny face, I'm enjoying your videos so don't worry about them being late. I can't wait to see you drive it. Take care and stay safe thanks for the great videos

@kevinAuman1 3 года назад

Alex this has been one of my favorite videos recently as I really enjoyed watching you actually under the hood with a wrench pulling things apart doing some preparation disassembly for the motor to come out of that beautiful nova! But yes, nothing more impressive than such a pretty lady who likely is far more capable a mechanic than myself lol and I just love your positivity along with the close relationship that you and your dad have.... Cherish it while you can, life is too short not too! 😘😍❤😊

Honestly im not a fan of this channel when I first watched it but after watching the build on this 55 I'm like hell ya you see I didn't realize how much work went Into this car I didn't know her dad did this or who he is or anything like that but the more I watch all I can say is wow so much talent form everyone in this family done the mom to the dad I the daughter bad ass

Alex, you're right to take the time to label connections with tape, as I always do, because you save time reconnecting & prevent cross-connecting damage. :)

@randywl8925 3 года назад

I'm waiting for you to say: "and be handsome" ....says me with a broken tooth. 😁 Quite a while back when I first discovered your channel, I wasn't knowing what to expect. I saw you doing a lot of filming and your dad building a lot of stuff. Looks like it was more of the Dennis channel. That said, as I continued to watch, and watch you doing designs on the computer and watching you turn a wrench..... ....I soon discovered that you were actually hands on. It's so refreshing to see such a fantastic family relationship and built around such a traditional apple and pie, American business. It would be fun to see your family on the Dr Phil show. 😁😁😁 I think he'd have to cut the show short because nobody would be yelling, screaming and pointing fingers. 😁😁😁 I love your interaction with your dad and mom and I'm so happy I found this place. The 55 project is epic. 👍👍👍

If you put a ceramic coating on the Lexan side glass, would that make it more scratch resistant? Loving the Quest for the Sixes series, Alex! And holy cats, Dennis is hilarious!

@NorthernHDrider 5 месяцев назад

Door windows are the worst day to deal with, let-a-lone a door latch. Passanger door, mint(perfect). Sweet window instalation. Seeing your wire/hose labels are great. Simple but understanding but when theres 30 white wire to soder its key, instead of using a volt meter.

Hey tell dad next time he cuts you some lexan after he gets it to shape take a torch and hit the edges lightly and it will smooth and shine the the edges like factory cut.

@someyoungguy6990 3 года назад

Flame polish. Also run a old razor blade into the corner of a grinding stone to make a radius scraper for your cut edges. Hope this helps in the future.
