If you have ever been around 55 Chevys you know how little space is under the hood. We have the engine set back from stock location and no inner fender, core support or anything else like that but a big block chevy with twin turbos just takes up a lot of room! When we started this build, we thought we would have all kinds of room to build, but then as we keep going, we realize how valuable and precious space is. So! DT built a methanol tank that actually mounts over the radiator, clears the "hood", and directs the air from the radiator fans around it. Pretty neat huh?! I really like how the tank turned out, DT is quite the self critique however. But either way, it is functional and fits in our allotted space. Radiator and methanol tank are checked off the list! Looking forward to actually assembling and doing less fabricating... because that is the uber time consuming stuff! As always, thank you guys for following along on the journey!

@auszooker 3 года назад

A line Dennis said, 'I don't really plan it, I just sculpt it' just fits perfectly with everything he does, it is just so amazing to watch him come up with ideas for everything and see it all unfold into a racecar, it's not a 'build' it's art.

@bradleymackenzie2859 3 года назад

I think that tank is my favorite part of this build so far. All your Dad's work is impressive, but that thing is next level.

@markdepriest418 3 года назад

It's not only the fabrication skill that makes this series of video so enjoyable but the bond you and your father share. As a father of two daughters myself I appreciate the sincerity of your friendship along with the father/daughter relationship. Looking forward to the next video.

@trrrewr 3 года назад

I think it's so awesome you and your mom are so supportive of your dad, and I mean legit interested and actively engaged kind of support. Your dad is an amazing craftsman. I know a guy like him would probably say he does things based mostly on function, be when it's done that clean and thought-out it's art too. He's surrounded by his wife & daughter, and doing what he obviously has real passion and skills for. Master of Reality.

@roddogg914 3 года назад

Alex, I don't think the viewers mind little things like the recording mishaps. I think the end result is what we are very eager to see. Try not to worry about making the vlogs perfect. Being more natural and showing what happens sometimes while filming is more authentic. Sometimes we need a little laugh every now and then

Again we see the Master Builder's 'vision' become reality. As he said, there's NO CAD, THERE'S NO DRAWINGS other than the 'vision' of a completed methanol tank installed - in his head. All Dennis had to do was turn the vision into reality. He nailed it!

Im 62, so I just want to do this so I can cruise in the park and bring back my favorite 76-82 memories!! be safe, all of you!!
