572 Bel Air Big Block Cruisin

[poodle3208]

you said you built the car yourself... can you share some insight on the build? I would like to get your email and ask you some questions. Let me know..

[jjsrt8]

he stoped the video there because that coped pulled him over

[Demps572]

@jjsrt8 lol

[alexavalos08]

pedal shifters ? digital dash ? thats a fucking disgrace !!!!



[Demps572]

@alexavalos08 Disgrace REALLY?! Kinda like that toothless picture of you on your parents fridge.I suppose a 572 cu Big Block an Art Morrison chassis 4 wheel disks are all a disgrace as well.If you were a true car guy you could appreciate all the hard work that goes into building a car like this.im sure your build is so much better lets see what you got num nuts.

[cgwry7]

Us American's could've been building & driving fine built machines like this in 2012, but we handed our keys over to China, and jumped on a Green peace band wagon. What a Shame :~(

[Demps572]

@cgwry7 Amen to that

[punchmaster123]

Fuel economy doesn't matter when you're driving something as cool as this!

[Demps572]

@punchmaster123 lol thx Aint that the truth

[Barnhart08]

This is one of the coolest bel air's on youtube in my opinion. Very tasteful!

[Demps572]

@Barnhart08 Thank you

[rawsteele]

People just don't get it paddle shifters are the shit that's what's going on my 57 nice car ,,

[Demps572]

@rawsteele They work great thx for viewing

[clofgtjc]

Thanks for this most awesome video. Finally a video that actually shows this bad boy 572 setting in the 55. I'm planning to put at least a 502 in one(55 Chev). My #1 question is how much MPG does yours get brother?? Or does it?? Thx !

[Demps572]

@clofgtjc Only about 6 mpg but who cares its a beast lol thx

[Demps572]

@clofgtjc 502 is a beast of a motor as well thats gonna be a monster when done good luck.Have any questions feel free to ask I have alot of experience with tri-5s my email strypes@att.net

[sixtiesforever1966]

DUH! If you put an Art Morrison Chassi under it it had to be a frame off ? NO ?

Some people have no idea what's going on... And how much of the work did he do?

[Demps572]

@sixtiesforever1966 Yep total frame off and I built every square inch of car myself in the garage u see in the backround.Thanks for watching check out other videos of car

[tvr614]

Nice ride, I think the paddle shifters and the digital readout on the dash were a nice personal touch and tasteful. I thought that was an unmarked police Crown Vic towards the end but I was relieved to see it was just grandpa cruising in his Grand Marquis.

[Demps572]

@tvr614Paddle shifters draw mixed emotions but listen to car shift nothing shifts faster. lol thanks for viewing.

[Demps572]

Yes

i did

[swoosh50]

Did you sell this car on eBay?

[simonstovebolt]

@Demps572 Now that is one shit hot car I love it

[Demps572]

@simonstovebolt Thanks a bunch check out other videos of car merry xmas!

[snowmangaggift]

you said you sold the car for over 100k, how much did you end up putting into it? and did you do it more for fun or to make money?

[Demps572]

@snowmangaggift had about $90,000 in it not counting tons of labor.Never do it for the money I love cars and building them.

[snowmangaggift]

@Demps572 that's what i like to hear, fuckin rights. I hope to do the same one day when i get a garage :/

[sensemille]

the paddle shifters are a bit much

[Demps572]

@sensemille When building a high end car you have to fit it with the best of the best or car will not bring the money.I sold car for over $100,000 gotta have all the latest goodies to pull that kind of money.Also listen how fast it shifts manual never shift even close to that fast.

[tshtl3r414]

nice car and sounds great but paddle shifters are gay as shit.

[Demps572]

@tshtl3r414 Really you hear how fast it shifts .Nothing shifts faster

[RichBoy572]

Man let me tell you. You have a very, very nice vehicle. The paddle shifters were a pleasent and usefull surprise (where did you get the kit?). You built the thing just a I would have. Bravo

[Demps572]

@RichBoy572 Retro tek speed paddle shifters

[DoubleDave80]

I like the dual master cylinders. When you got a show car, you need to make sure it stops. Am I wrong?

[Demps572]

@DoubleDave80 Amen plus it has big brakes

[TheDantheman1972]

what mufflers are on that thing? And i assume 3 inch im having nelson race engines building a nitrous series 572 and i want that sound.

[Demps572]

@TheDantheman1972 3" all stainless exhaust w magna flow stainless mufflers.Nelson builds Bad Ass motors I was talking to him At SEMA about building me a small block turbo motor.He builds big horsepower good luck

[1Hawleywood]

@Demps572 He builds great stuff. He's starting a 4.2 liter Inline 6 twin turbo that will have 700 hp on 92 gas. On race I will have 1050. Very nice car you have. Really nice.

[1Hawleywood]

@TheDantheman1972

If Tom Nelson is putting on twin turbos you don't need any mufflers.

[TheDeJureTour]

Despite what the haters may say, there is nothing wrong with a built 700r4!

Thanks for sharing your car with us mon.

[Demps572]

@TheDeJureTour works great but they have to be built right.thx

[DoubleDave80]

@TheDeJureTour, yeah, as long as you have a trans cooler.

[n2cars1]

Mr. Demps572,

This is the badess 1955 car around and I just love it! Thank you for being the "master craftsmen" and providing us with this video. Would you consider building a 1963 SW Vette in SCCA style someday?

G.

[Demps572]

@n2cars1 Thanks for compliment.I would love to build something like that.Im currently building a 67 camaro along those lines scca style

[coolmikey408]

Stupid flappy paddles!!! Get a real gear box bro!! (6speed)

[Demps572]

@coolmikey408 Really whens the last time u ever seen any race car with a 6 speed.This car shifts way faster than a 6 speed listen to the motor u could never shift that fast.A 6 speed way more fun to drive though.But this car has low profile tires and way to much motor for a 6 speed just shreds tires.Thanks for viewing

[coolmikey408]

I saw flappy paddles...then exited the video SMH stupid flappy paddles, get a real transmission bro! (6speed gear box)

[johnvdm13]

that things got some balls lol

[Demps572]

@johnvdm13 LOL THANKS YES IT DOES

[lobzdik]

whats the gearbox in it man?

[Demps572]

@lobzdik 700 r4 Built buy ATI

[PooPoo2U]

Not diggin the gauges or the wheels. Other than that, perfect.

[dimitrismpower]

i was wondering how much a car like this would cost....

[Demps572]

@dimitrismpower A little over a $100,000

[dimitrismpower]

@Demps572 OMG !! Thats o lot of money !! BTW Your car is amazing!! Enjoy it !!

[superbadGangsta1]

God Dammn! This things a Beast the only thing that I didn't like was the digital gages and the steering wheel gear shift! Everything else is perfect.

[Camlica123]

Hey nice ride ;) what MPG do you get?

[Demps572]

@Camlica123 you meen how many gallons per mile.Lol about 6-8

[TriggerHappyLunatics]

@Demps572 Anything more and I'd be afraid I was driving a Honda :O

[countrygold57]

@Demps572 What transmission/rear end gear do you have? My 57' with the stock 283-factory rear-2 speed gets around 10mpg...I could sacrifice another 2 mpg for that motor lol

[Demps572]

@countrygold57  700r4 with 389 rears

[Cheez70velle]

Got 70 Chevelle Vert same Art Morrison set up.. I like very nice

[Demps572]

@Cheez70velle Man i would love to see some pics of that.Thanks

[BigDog2545]

hey what size rims do you got on the car?? I have a 55 chevy belair too..still my project car though

[Demps572]

@BigDog2545  20x10 rear 18x8 front

[danthatcan2]

Does it squat like that because you lowered it or just because it has a big ass motor?? haha

[TheHasselBoff]

love it, this is the most impressive bel air I've seen/heard on youtube. Absolutely stunning, would love to have one myself someday. Greetings from the UK.

[Demps572]

@TheHasselBoff Thank you for the kind words glad you like.Thanks for viewing

[kerahdah]

Absolutely beautiful car! Why can't they do this to-day?

[Demps572]

@kerahdah Amen to that thanks for looking

[MrGizmo757]

@kerahdah the government wont let them build things like this anymore. and capitalism too. today they have to build things as cheap as possible. wile back then they could concentrate on the product.

[kerahdah]

@MrGizmo757 pity about that, because a car like the Bel-Air would last a lifetime. You would never have to buy another car for the rest of your life. Guess they couldn't handle that. Have to keep selling crap instead.

[throughglass08]

Gorgeous car man.

[Demps572]

@throughglass08 Thank you

[NoLeafClover96]

O_O

holy shit... that is the most badassenist classic muscle car i have ever seen... and if that aint muscle... i dont know what is

[Demps572]

@NoLeafClover96 Thanks for the kind words.They dont make them like this anymore.

[bosafety]

[JimboVids]

When a car is this nice, you always have to worry about knicks and scratches and dings.... it sort of takes some of the fun away. I'd be afraid to take it out of the garage.

[xcelmik427]

Same clear? Used dupont 99k, this looks deeper black.

[EpiclyAwsomeDude]

lol @ spending $300 on a that holly air filter assembly and using it to choke a 572 someone was a noob

[Demps572]

@EpiclyAwsomeDude Actually only lost 7hp on Dyno with that air assembley but it looks so much better than a large round generic one and car has so much Hp and tourque dont miss few extra.Thanks for viewing.

[xcelmik427]

Whats the brand and code on the black? How many clear coats? Very nice man!! Good job!!

[Demps572]

@xcelmik427 standox 666 Black

[xcelmik427]

@Demps572 Same brand of clear? Who carries it?

[Demps572]

@xcelmik427 Yes all Standox

[omargabmle2]

Is It still for sale......

[Demps572]

@omargabmle2 I believe new owner has on ebay now for sale.

[bindinglines]

Feels good, don't it? 'Bout 20yrs back I drove a 427 '55 post and named her "ShoveOff". You know what done-right means.

[DRTYJON]

Is this the same car on EBAY for $115K? Sure looks the same except for the air cleaner & painted valve covers.......

[Demps572]

@DRTYJON Yes it is new owner changed few things not sure why but yes.

[Chubbichops]

[Demps572]

@Chubbichops Thanks checkout other videos of car

[Tinytim1995]

[Demps572]

@Tinytim1995 Called car Bittersweet,Cost about $90,000,Turned every single nut ,bolt,wire,hose,stereo installed glass i mean everything myself.I did not paint or do interior

[erion2bad]

[KrAzYxInKy]

What fuel do you run?

[Demps572]

@KrAzYxInKy Runs on 93 pump.But likes 100 when i can put it in

[KrAzYxInKy]

@Demps572 Thank you very much. I'm thinking of throwing this motor in a '82 Blazer and just wanted to make sure I wouldn't end up needing race fuel.

[Demps572]

@KrAzYxInKy That will b one bad ass freakin blazer

[KrAzYxInKy]

@KrAzYxInKy Exactaly why I plan on doing it hahaha

[iHeartTurbos]

[Demps572]

@iHeartTurbos Thanks for compliment check out other videos of car.Peace

[Tubber222]

[MJKSCEF]

Hi mate, I really appreciate what you've done here. What trans & paddle shift unit did you use?

[Demps572]

@MJKSCEF 700r4 tranny,Retro Tek speed paddles,Shifts pretty fast,Thanks for viewing

[godneededadriver]

5 Prius drivers watched this and disagreed with us.. lovely car !

[crabpeoples]

i usually dont like rotational wheels, but they look clean as hell on this

[sikkchaos]

holy shit.. love the car.. has the car scared any imports yet .. wud love to see it happen

[Demps572]

@sikkchaos They dont usually mess.Had a kid with a turbo eclipse claimed it ran 10s try me.Did second gear roll on buy the time i was at 130 mph probably had 8 cars on him. Thanks for viewing

[31Roadsterford]

Sweet lookin' car, exept the digital cauges, they pretty much ruin the car :/

[Demps572]

@31Roadsterford i have since replaced digital guages w analogue,but to say they ruin the car I hardly think so.Thats why Baskin Robbins has so many flavors.If your a real car guy you can appreciate all types of builds weather your taste or not.This car scored 987 at a national chevy event, and i built the car top to bottom my self in my garage.Not some rich guy that payed chip foose to build.The real deal.I appreciate you looking but you got to be more open minded to different tastes.Peace

[31Roadsterford]

@Demps572 Yes, and of course i respect that car, and you for building it. I Also build all my cars by myself in our Club House in Finland :). I Just personally dont like digital cauges in an old car. Everything else is perfect in this Classic Chevy. Peace&Respect

[adamlesh]

@Demps572 Do you know what they deducted points for?

[badering024]

hahaha who gives a fuck about global warming man... this just eliminates every aspect of that fucking mind-blowing government and their enviromental shit! Gimme one of these and let there be a fucking ice age for my grand grand children or whatever i wouldnt care haha

[Demps572]

@badering024 From your mouth to gods ears amen.Thanks

[Dosalt]

heres what I call a good American. Keep it up!

[loverboy14s]

here's my opinion who gives a crap about a Ferrari when your driving that.

[Demps572]

@loverboy14s Amen Brotha

[RiceKiller191]

Loved the car... until I saw the paddle shifters :(

[Demps572]

@RiceKiller191 Wouldnt install in next one,But when I built car went with all the lateset goodies and tried to build a car for the masses.Believe it or not people go batshit over that stuff.Im a purest like you give me a 5 speed anyday.Car is still badaas and actually shifts very fast and hard.Thanks for viewing check out other videos of car.

[RiceKiller191]

@Demps572 Oh I bet. I'm sure it got tons of attention at car shows. The resto-mods that are all out seem to get the most attention. I like more traditional, 4 on the floor, big block, rally wheels, you know lol. But yours is one of the few like. Gorgeous car.

[Demps572]

@RiceKiller191 Thanks again

[organziedchaos]

Good god! That is beautiful

[Evan12345678]

those speakers kill it man- just listen to the bass of the 572!!! otherwise pretty awesome

[Demps572]

@Evan12345678 Yea not my cup of tea but built to appeal to the masses and you have to do high end audio to compete .Thanks for viewing.

[hd150]

INSANE!!!! SICK!!!! OUTSTANDING!!! BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP!!!

[sokodad]

Wow. That's all I gotta say. Wow.

[Demps572]

@everettcary To Funny just about.Thanks

[Demps572]

[Demps572]

@monkey949103 Thank you

[chrizzly13]

@Demps572 How much would this car, as it stands, cost ready for export? either if i were to build it, or buy a ready made one, like yours? thankyou

[Demps572]

@chrizzly13 I have 92k in it not counting labor.You could shave a few off by spending less on Audio,I get 125k to build this exact car.Takes a year to build your specs can go up depending on power train,Interior etc.

[1021raul]

WOW!!!! That is all!

[Demps572]

@1021raul Thanks for viewing and the compliment

[tdsviper]

Is it me, or do the airfilters look very small on that 572. I don't know much about bigblocks, but i thought they would need alot more airflow on the intake.

[Demps572]

@tdsviper They actually flow pretty good ,But your right we put a big airfilter on it when we dynod and got 6 more hp,Just didnt look as good,And at almost 650 lbs of tourque another few didnt matter that much.But your right.Thanks for viewing

[coondiggity]

absolutely beautiful. Black and chrome makes for the greatest combination on a car i think. i don't like that its automatic (i love manual), but the paddle shifters are an amazing touch. lol @ "like a ferrari". its a wonderful thing when money can meet the classics like this and make a car perfect for you.

just an amazing ccar.

[Demps572]

@coondiggity Thanks for the compliments.Yes this car would have awesome w a 6 speed probably would have just destroyed the tires through 3rd gear.Did paddle shifters for a differebt touch.But i agree sticks rule thanks again

[bestoffrank]

Thanks for the ride.

[Demps572]

@bestoffrank Thanks for viewing Merry Christmas

[hooknbookls1]

I would be afraid to drive it cause the condition is so immaculate. it's show room condition. sweet ride.

[Demps572]

@hooknbookls1 Beleive me it its so much fun to drive but scares me every time i take it out somethings going to happen.Thanks for viewing

[GorillaWriter]

@Demps572 Im with you brotha, when my 66 gto is completed, it will be gloss and matte black, with my rennaisance standard artwork, chiaroscuro like on the side. Front grill, hanging skulls on the ends with mako teeth somehow wonderously worked in. Satin grey hinted crome, with bright chrome accenting. But i vowe to drive it everywhere and often. If i wreck, then thats that, i am taking the pile home and reworking the car. Your car is beautiful, continue to enjoy it without fear, enjoy this life.

[Demps572]

@GorillaWriter My dad had a 66 goat was the first cool car i remember thanks for viewing

[GorillaWriter]
