The time has finally come!! The Savoy made it to Detroit, MI and still needed some work - in typical Savoy fashion. While we waited on a windshield to be made and installed, we took the 55 to cruise to Tom Bailey's Sick Pizza Party and then got up to test the Savoy the next day. It through us for a loop (and did some killer wheelies!) but by the time it was all said and done - we had a pretty good race car 👊🏼 It was my first time racing a combination like this - and the pressure was on!
Hot Rod Garage Season 10 is NOW streaming on MotorTrend Plus - click the link below to watch:

Don't you love that she now hosts Hot Rod Garage, and she's still the same Alex! Along with all of her other achievements, her enthusiasm is still always off the charts.

@chrislowery185 Год назад

The 55's look GREAT together. Excellent job on BOTH cars. The way the Savoy was leaving the line was PERFECT.

@rayiveson1951 Год назад

Those two cars were built in 1955, just imagine the two people that bought those cars brand new in 1955 if they could see them today just something to think about

@danielboyd4618 Год назад

The Plymouth might have had a v8 I don't think Chevy had the 265 yet but if they were both 6s Plymouth was still running a flathead so ewww

@outlawofga Год назад

Yeah... that would be awesome. Probably some mild mannered people who would faint when they seen this kind of performance...😲😳😃

@jameswoodward6312 Год назад

When I bought my 68 RS..I thought the same thing when pulled the 4 speed out of it and put a 400 and a glide in it. It's amazing what goes through your head when you find receipts, under the back seat that were dated 1970's and 80's.

@@outlawofga ..Most people today would faint with that much power..

@01trsmar Год назад

@@danielboyd4618 If the Chevy had the 6 it was yuck too,super slow...But the Plymouth 6 is the most reliable engine ever made,Chrysler used those engines for everything..But V8 is the way to go..

I'm so impressed with the Savoy build - glad to see the team getting it sorted! 😊

Your energy and excitement is unmatched! It’s awesome to see just how excited you are to just be around and work on cars, and you get to do it with your dad, the Taylor’s are a top notch team. 👍✌️

New intro turned out good. "It's a little bit ghetto and I like it." I cried laughing at that one. Great team work from all involved. Genuinely great team work.

@douglawrence9616 Год назад

I really don’t know how many times I have watched your race at Woodward ave. But that was truly one of the best driving I ever saw!

@redbeardoutdoors4914 Год назад

❤❤❤ I love the salt flats! Other than that crazy darn weather out there. Pop up rain showers all the time to ruin some good racing. Me and my buddies took our demolition derby cars out there in july 2021 for a bangerang race and had a blast!! You and your dad should build you a demolition derby car! It's good, cheap fun!! Especially the front wheel drive compact cars! Their super cheap and you can completely destroy the rear of the car and the car will still drive around because they're fwd. Awesome video as always Alex and you look stunning !

@ronaldsteveson76 Год назад

ok I'll take my statement back, the Savoy is cool but that 55 Chevy 💪👍👍👍👍👍 Props for staying in it when it gets a little squirrelly!

@fred7854 Год назад

Hey Alex, can't wait for the next video. Glad you, your father, and the rest of the team got it figured out. Best of luck to you and your father. Take care and be safe.

Your so lit everytime you video. I love it. I'm a old man but your a breath off fresh air to racing. Not street outlaw type your more informative and get your hands dirty. I'm a fan as I was for Shirley Muldowny back in the days when my dad raced his Dart GTS 340 in New Mexico.your going places Alex keep it up.Enjoy your dad's work and family time.

@raymondtakamoto8063 Год назад

Great team also

@user-od9iz9cv1w Год назад

Wow. A lot of work for one pass. No pressure. Miss the shift and its all for naught. As always, thanks for taking us on the journey.

@adriane7841 Год назад

It did seems like a little bit of a waste of a build for a single pass.

@user-od9iz9cv1w Год назад

@@adriane7841 I guess for the Taylor brand it may be worth it. Up against all the other car show channels and they win. In reality they bring advanced artillery to fight people with homemade cannons.

@MissionRestomod Год назад

Manual trans drag racing is an entirely different beast. Blower fans to cool the clutch are a must. Also, a clutch pedal stop can save the over extension of the slave/throw out. That’s a BADASS car. They should give you guys first right of refusal if and when it’s sold.

@blucheer8743 Год назад

I have followed the “Freiburger” era over at hot rod mag, their RU-vid channel, motortrend roadkill projects, I have to say this is my favorite car of that era: The family aspect, the patina’ed old clapper, from a generation ago, being given a new lot in life, the modern crate motor, modern suspension, brakes, electronics, the Savoy is the perfect hot rod in many ways. Very well done! the Hot Rod torch, be it a plasma cutter, is being passed on and its going into good hands!

@stephencarter1442 Год назад

Had the same thing with the o-ring off the trailer heading to the lanes. Argh. Always have a spare now..nice recovery and win. Thanks for sharing .

@davidwalker9188 Год назад

Those were some pretty nice wheelies you were pulling in the beginning

@p.d.nickthielen6600 Год назад

Every race team needs a girl, preferably a daughter to crawl in the front windshield opening to move their 55 Savoy. Alex best wishes thank you for sharing you and your dads incredible adventures

@J1Z06 Год назад

I like that The Savoy is a stick shift! That beast really leaves hard! I love it! Keep up the great work. I love this channel.

@CarsandCats Год назад

I think the Savoy is cooler than the '55. Dennis's builds just keep getting better. Put him and Lucky together and I think you could dominate the world!

@jspaulding4106 Год назад

Agreed. I like the Savoy better. And I know it wouldn't be possible without all the work put into the "original" '55.

@MrGixxer1300r Год назад

It is easy to be fast when Dad owns one of the better small chassis shops in racing, but the more I watch the more I see a young women that has more knowledge, and skills than most men older than her. Seeing her work with Derick from vice grip garage, and rebuilding their tranny on the street car challenge, Drive a 211mph 1/8th mile, she does great at any drag and drive event, keeps her head together, and makes good decisions. I'm 57 and have been drag racing both cars and motorcycles since I was 21 and I haven't done a 1/10 of what Alex has. Kudos to you young lady, and keep up the great work.

A handful where the total thrash and last minute parts, met up with last minute minds and excellent tech help all met up to produce excellent last second results in the middle of the night between testing and race day! Stay cool girl as the minds work over matter as long as cool heads prevail when you have the kind of help you have....It takes a village, or a great team, and you have the greatest of teams.
