The blue car at 0:52 was built by Jimmy Shine and his crew on a t.v. show a few years ago.The names on the door are his kid's names.Cool car.

@1996slamster ha ha haha!your rite,what ever it was.this is real neat video.just imaging how long it took to compile all those pics.yrs and yrs.real gassers dont have all the modern stuff in my opion,but maybe nobody cares for my opion,but one thing for sure is when people see gassers done the old school way or era correct,people go nuts over them.

@Mr1963chevy Oh for sure. Not dissing the video by no means. I've just always found that when building a car and someone mixes themes, the themes clash and in turn makes the car look akward. Great video though. I own a 55 Chev and thats what brought me here.

I wonder what ever became of Gene Moody's '55?.

[NcalBiker]

I didn't know Gene had passed. My father was taken by Alzheimer's as well. My hart goes out to the family.
