We almost never shoot Tri Five's on our channel but this one had to be shot! The entire theme is based around the legendary Evel Knievel and boasts a 712 ci big block, Art Morrison chassis, Kugel front and rear independent suspension and phenomenal metal work throughout. This is truly an exceptional build so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    Love how clean and simple that engine bay is, cleanest I think I’ve ever seen and white, my favorite color , awesome ride Mr Tony 👍🏼
  • @yazdan7774
    i swear this channel has the cleanest cars i've ever seen
  • October 20, 1973 JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, I was 12 years old and watched Evel jump 14 School Buses. My Dad took me and it was Awesome. Then when I moved to Dunedin and heard he was living in Clearwater I was amazed. A lot of my friends had drank with him but I missed out because it would have been a pleasure to have a beer with him. Great Video Shawn, Can’t wait to see the Ramp Truck!!!

    I've been a customizer for 45 years and that is the most finely detailed car builds that I have ever seen. I grew up watching the greatest motorcycle jumper to ever live and I personally think that this is the best tribute vehicle of all time. Amazing car in every way. Nice job and oh by the way, in the customizing game there is no such thing as over the top. Because the team that built this car I'm sure has the next great one in the wings. Beautiful car, Amazing build

    23:33 Wentworth street-Great build, and always appreciate your videos
  • What an experience this was to be able to drive the car for the first time with the crew at AutotopiaLA. Some real motivation to see the response to the car and this gives our team the drive to finish the truck and return.
  • @al9030
    Wow Sean..What an Amazing Car!! ..that colorful motor dropped in.that white compartment is Unbelievable..What a Gem!!
  • Such a rad 55 shoebox with a mountain motor Fit and finish is phenomenal Would definitely put a smile on Evel Knievel face 😲😎🫡
  • What a gorgeous car! You never see all blue interiors like this. It’s always red. This is one badass theme car.
  • @supersport57
    Shawn, this car is nothing but awesome craftsmanship.
  • ‘Merica! ❤️🇺🇸🤘🏼😎🤘🏼 Keep up the good work, gentlemen – – much love. Stars, suede, and side exit pipes. Winning! Oh yea — And tons of BALLS!! Giddy up!!
  • @CyberDocUSA
    Do you remember the early 70's Evel Kneivel kid's toy where you'd put the motorcycle on the plastic ramp, yanked the geared plastic t-stick to wind the real wheel gyro then launch it? This car... Exceptional build and theme!
  • Mechanical and design is phenomenal. I love the sound. If kineval was alive he'd love it. Thanks again Shawn for another awesome 👌 video
  • He put more money into that car than Evil did all his stunt cars combined. Incredible Put a 4 point harness in it. Scary to see him get back in a 1,000hp car and the driver utters the words “this IS the shake down test”. ALA knows what can happen….

    Robbie use to live down the street from my grandparents in Sequim Wa.. we would sometimes catch him mowing his grass and he would ride wheelies on his lawnmower. RIP Robbie
  • @ljsites
    Evil Knievel was a death defying stuntman, and a P.T. Barnum style showman. This car reflects the go and the breath taking performance.
  • @WordToMomsYo
    Absolutely brilliant build.. The quality of the components and the effort invested in the clean lines... It's simply gorgeous. This one definitely deserved an episode of its own.. And I'd love to see footage of it once the motor and transmission performance has been properly tuned and broken-in, i bet this thing is gonna go like stink.
  • @greym6436
    Simply in humble words… Bad Ass.. Done right.🤘🏽
