One Spark Could Destroy EVERYTHING! A Safety Message From DD Speed Shop!

Listen, we joke around a lot, and sometimes we don't follow every safety rule to a T- but there are some things we just DON'T mess around with. So keep yourself and your family safe in the shop and from the shop! We were so glad to hear that no one was hurt in Nitro Rednecks video- but it serves as a good reminder to have some basic safety equipment around.

In 1970 my neighbour sold his super clean 1965 Impala SS and bought a loaded Monte Carlo. I was in love with that car. It was stunning with its dark green exterior and tan interior. The horseshoe shifter and the bucket seats were absolutely beautiful. Very underrated car that Joe Average can buy and drive the wheels off of it.

[@deadclutch]

I keep a fire extinguisher in each corner of the shop. No need to think about where to go when there's an emergency, get to the closest corner and you got fire juice. Stay safe out there folks.

[@brianquilty687]

Very smart idea.

[@nohbody85]

I don't know about the masses, but I've always wanted a first or second gen Monte Carlo.

[@EricVanHorn-n8e]

Guys fire is no joke. Ive been a 1st responder for ever and it takes just a few seconds to burn. Some are quick and others may smolder awhile. Get those things mounted waist high and have them in different places. And dont pile stuff in front of them. Straight easy access. People panic and dont think straight. You block it you may not get to it or trip over something. And # 1, know how to use them. Does no good to have it if you dont know how to use it. Same with a good 1st aid kit.put them by your fire fighting gear, a safety station per say. And if you use it replace it. Does no good grabbing a used up extinguisher. Same for your home. Same with the house. Dont care if the old man/woman says its not the right color, it dont look right there. If it saves a life home or pets its worth every penny. I will get off my soap box now. Good advise guys.

[@zrxdoug]

When it comes to automotive stuff, if it is burning for real, it's gonna take 3-4 times the fire extinguisher you'd think it would to put the damn thing out.. They don't generally work as well as you might think from watching TV shows, lol. We had a trailer wheel bearing/tire fire a few years ago...I carried a little halon extinguisher in the truck, which didn't do much of anything..luckily this happened in front of (someone else's) well equipped shop..it took four big 20lb dry chemical extinguishers and a forklift to get it put out. Similar incident when I was a kid working in a junkyard...fella was in the wheel well cutting with an oxy/acetylene torch, and a spark landed on the hvac box on the firewall..by the time he was aware, the whole interior was burning (square body Suburban) and it became something requiring a visit from guys like Eric VERY quickly.

[@JakeWeddle-zo4xv]

Fire safety is no joke. We lost everything except the clothes we were wearing when I was a kid. It's still heart breaking to think about seeing my parents lose everything they had worked for in a matter of minutes 😢

[@norm-nas]

I was watching your last vid and the engine hoist was stubborn to move. Mine was too until I oiled the wheels and swivels for the first time recently, what a difference it made.

[@graybeardproductions2597]

Lol. I'm not sure mine even turn any more 😂

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

I just replaced the wheels on mine lol.

[@suecobandito8954]

PSA from "Safety Dan". Only you can prevent shop fires...

[@dankniseley9486]

Great advise on don’t leave right after welding I always wait at least an hour and check but things can still go wrong

[@rajcam80]

Franklin and Steve are something else! They are trying to steal the spot light. Lol.... They make the garage a happy place. Mortske has Duff, fun times in the garage.

[@loose-arrow-garage]

Good advice Dan and Dani. Another thing that I would suggest is, when you're welding, keep a spray bottle filled with water within arm's reach. I use one to put out small fires that occur from burning insulation or undercoating.

[@noblesseoblige2995]

Can I put it right next to the spray bottle filled with gasoline?

[@Robert-ni6ut]

I do the same can't tell yah how many times it comes in handy

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

True Story, Bill! 👍

[@elijah2078]

I need more than one fire extinguisher, and I must complete the plumbing to my shop. Thanks Dan and Dani!!!!

[@kevinwright1551]

Safety comes first indeed. No matter what it is out there. Keep up the great work.

[@roddogg914]

Good advice for us viewers. Also, I noticed from the beginning, that you always disconnect your batteries when you finish for the day. Especially on the cars that are inside

[@carguytroy]

I had one of those pellet barbeque grills go crazy and catch fire. Cleaned it constantly, did all the right things but it went. 5 foot flame shooting out of it. Luckily it was far from the house and we did have a fire extinguisher close and handy. Goes to show you can be cautious and do all the right things and stuff still happens. I need to get more fire extinguishers. Have a couple in the garage and some inside the house, but could still use a few more.

[@terrallputnam7979]

That Monte Carlo is Cool 😎👍 I like it just fine. Richard Rollins loses big money sometimes at these auctions. You are so real. You buy rough stuff and polish it up and make it a real good 30 footer. You enjoy driving old classic cars, and this allows you to do what you love. Keep up the good work and let us live vicariously through you.

[@bradleymckay365]

I had my 1984 grand prix with a brand new expensive drive train, and I had them install new shocks and coils, and when it was up on the lift, the employee was using a torch and the rubber stopper flew on top of my brand new engine and started on fire and remember it was at max height on a lift and my car and half there shop was a total lose, so even the so called professional shops have accidents. Great video to help people 👍 👏 😀 👌

[@nicodemus-k4o]

Dan, I went to Barrett Jackson a few times over the years. The first thing that shocked me 10 years ago was a tri-five that sold for around 30k usd back then, was definitely not put together too fantastically. I spoke with a gentleman selling a gorgeous 57 chevy convertible with hundreds of thousands into it, and it went for a 100 grand. The videos definitely don't tell the story on the driver type stuff. You say your stuff is a hack job, but the cars are honest and you are too. The cars I looked at were hack jobs, trying to be hidden.

[@Leo-vf3py]

Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all from lovelaceville Ky rolling work of art bye Dan go going to a driveway near you

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Amazing part of those vehicles at Barret Jackson, you couldn't pay someone to build many of them for what they sell for. The cars that aren't super rare often sell at a loss.

[@stevelaffoon3339]

Would rather have a 70-72 Monte Carlo than a Camaro or a Chevelle especially a SS big block Monte Carlo

[@toejam503]

When you search for a car you want and find one that's close, you have to Adopt that find. I wanted and searched for a 55 Chevy 2dr post as my 1st hot rod. I ended up with a 59 Chevy shortbox fleetside and hotrodded the heck out of it. Am I still looking for that 55? Of course. But never let the illusive keep you from Adopting and adapting.

[@aprilhilliard3302]

Right there with you...improvise, adapt, overcome

[@EricJohnson-vr6qz]

I have a El Camino with a small block, first start after winter it started a fire... The fuel filter (GLASS) was located on top of the intake manifold and it leaked. I had a fire extinguisher and was lucky to put it out, but clean up was a B***ch. I relocated the fuel filter down by the pump. I heard the problem about glass filters But now I'm a Believer.

[@johnkranyics281]

Check out Vice Grip Garage's opinion on those glass filters. 👍👍🇨🇦

[@treetop.garage]

Every shop should have at least 2 ways to put a fire out

[@kevinl.2291]

The way I see it Dan if you’re saving an old car they all are worth it. They don’t have to be perfect to be cool. See you on the next one. 👍😎✌️

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video you two.

[@RonaldPutty]

If you're going to do a Tokyo drift car, that's the one to do it too.

[@ralphhayward5693]

Good, cimmon sense, reminder. Thanks DDSS 🇨🇦

[@perrylankford4269]

Fire extinguishers aren't very expensive, especially when you consider the cost of replacing your home... Tgank you for reminding us of that..

[@steveo3414]

Paid 5500 for 70 454ss 4 yrs ago bought my 71 pro street as a roller 2 yrs ago for 7500 needed everything so yes your right.

[@ReimundCabel-c8c]

Good safety advice,good reminder.

[@flattiresmisfires]

Barrett is close by me, it's just a car show lol

[@graybeardproductions2597]

I love you guys. Great episode. Glad the mutt is feeling better too

[@ls2c3]

Thanks for the real talk Dan. Sh!t can happen in a hurry.

[@kevinschwab6538]

Interesting video! Will Dannie ever do another duet with Waylon Wire? A lot of us enjoyed the first one and would like to see another one! Waylon said he would like to but hasn't been able to get a hold of you thanks!

[@Murphy-fo6tz]

All good fire safety ideas. At least once a year turn your dry chemical extinguisher upside down and give it a couple of clouts with a rubber hammer in case the powder has settled the write the date on the side to remind yourself when you did it.

[@hankhill9780]

Don’t let them die. Thank you for saving them!

[@vividstreets7727]

Buick skylarks have got to be the best bang for your buck. You can get chevelle looks for Chevette prices

[@bensymington5550]

❤❤ I love your videos, awesome content😊

[@Zazu2You]

Dan, all good advice and information. Yes, fires are nothing to mess with. Cheers!! 😎

[@JamesBrown-cx3xf]

This from a guy who sits on the floor and literally welds exhaust pipe in his lap , do the exact opposite this guy does

[@HinmanAveRepair]

Dan is currently going through his "Green Period" after the previous "Yellow Period"

[@johnkranyics281]

Red Green is next. 👍👍🇨🇦

[@davidclemens1578]

I was amazed that the guy didn't grab a shovel and start shoveling snow into the engine fire. That's as close as you will get to a CO2 extinguisher. It is better than water because it will not just run off and because it is cold it will reduce the heat faster to be manageable. Fire needs fuel, oxygen and heat. Get rid of one of them and you don't have fire.

[@Robert-ni6ut]

Yep it always pays to have a fire extinguisher on hand while welding 👍

[@henryallisonsr8318]

Hi Dan and Daniel hope you having a great day

[@Axial_Andrew]

Glad to see the Safety Doggies are there to keep Dan straight...🤠

[@johnkranz4004]

Good teaching Dan and Dani Video

[@Rock-Forehead]

In this episode, Dan burns it all down.

[@michaelwittke8336]

I wish you'd quit ragging on the Monte. IMHO it was a GREAT buy & find for $3k (??) these days. No, it's not s Chevelle, but it IS a Monte, just as desirable in that vintage

[@brianquilty687]

I know they were not home at the time but I remember when Halfass Kustom's shop burnt down.

[@darrylcampbell4411]

All great advice bro.

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Wow that's cool as hell yeah man that sounds great to me too here

[@bjm23vancity92]

We were at the Barrett Jackson in 2018 and this year 2025. There were way less tri 5 Chevy's this year and in 2018, not sure why...the ones that were there were ridiculously expensive

[@Steve-e4h8o]

Great video guys

[@odahithedubious]

Years ago, a guy I knew came home from the grocery store, and parked under his carport. There was a fuel leak onto the intake manifold. It destroyed his car and his house. It does happen, unfortunately.

[@garygraham6699]

TRY MAPLE MOTORS FOR A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CLASSIC .... FAIR PRICES

[@frankm8533]

They really are

[@GlennNickerson-j8w]

Maybe you need a few Dalmatians to watch the shop for you Dan...🚒

[@rickypevey7751]

Ya know I really like the Monte Carlo that said I have a 60 willy jeep wagon and I love it I have a 98 Chevy 1500 extended cab I like it

[@carrollpruitt7356]

Keep yourself safe.

[@gregorygibson5455]

Hello Dan and Dani

[@darrylcampbell4411]

Yep.. Youre right Dan...Nice cars deserve a nice price but not a over the top Rediculous price. I guess some people have Way too much money... Get your self a good similar project car or find a cheaper ready driver aye...

[@thedriver02]

Only socioeconomic advice I can give, is keep a bottle of whiskey in the first aid kit.

[@williamjesse7622]

I have a couple of vintage cars in my garage. I don't weld but being old cars I am always concerned about fire from a short or whatever. I have a battery cut-off switch in both cars. They also make it difficult for anybody trying to steal them. The switch is inside the car but hidden.

[@shanewright6958]

Let’s Gooooo. It’s time for another good one 👍👍

[@LeonardMagnusson]

in my neck of the woods. pimp's drove big four doors. dealers drove monte's. this was my area now.

[@brettwilkinson8904]

I live near Carlisle and Hershey PA. Famous car and parts flea market a couple of times every year. I've been going for 40+ years hearing the same story for 40+ years. " This stuff won't be worth shit soon".

[@edfrawley4356]

Always worried about cutting and welding in a wood framed garage. One piece of hot slag trapped under a 2x4 could become a major problem. Fire extinguisher nearby is a must for doing hot work indoors.

[@benshore7357]

Good times 🎉 seems like the Canadians are buying up all the classic American cars 🎉

[@mzaccagnini7179]

You gotta remember that an almost empty gas tank will explode faster than a full tank because of the fumes are what burns not the liquid.

[@gpoetx]

Its the cost of parts to make them perfect or near perfect that is driving the costs

[@leahcimthgirw3163]

I got a fire extinguisher next to the grill underneath my kitchen sink in my pantry in the closet in my upstairs definitely one in the garage mounted to the bench

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Oh and always have a fire extinguisher in your classic car too, cause you just never know

[@DavidHansen-ge3gg]

Do you ever work on cars anymore?

Here we go again with DD Speedshop

Love this channel tri 5 chevy for ever and all chevys

[@MikeCrook-yw2fk]

And the pups

[@morecowbell69]

I remember when Dan nearly burned down his garage with oily rags...

[@frankm8533]

I knew that things were crazy when people started wanting 6,000$ and higher for older Ford Rangers and S10s like 90s to early 2000s ones. I just looked at 03 Ranger V6 pretty clean truck 109k miles it was 7,000$. I bought almost the same truck 10 years ago for 2,300$ with less miles and a 5spd plus my state inspected

[@sneakysgarage2412]

Yep,that’s right

[@coyboybc]

The people at that auction are rich and have money to throw away ! That’s the problem with the car community that these auction programs and car programs seem to make people think their JUNK is worth money !

[@andrewparry6106]

Cheers Brad

[@stephenvelden295]

I NEVER buy cars at auction. I like to look them over thoroughly and, if possible, drive them first. Shiny paint can hide a lot of bad stuff.

[@4ndy530]

Another DDSSPSA! 👌

[@corvettejohn4507]

A Monte Carlo drives better than a Chevelle. It has a 4" longer wheelbase and the engine is setback further from the front crossmember which improves F/R weight distribution and handling. And yes I have owned both.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

car fires.. is that a thing? really?😁

[@paulscottsr1078]

Y’all need to build a return to Macon County line tri 5 57 to go with your 55 tribute car

[@sccarguy8242]

People who say that as the older generation passes, the card from that generation will be worthless, are saying so because of what happened to the cars from the 30s and 40s. However, there is a big difference between the 30s and 40s and let’s say the 50s and 60s. Most cars from the mid 50s into the 60s and 70s can still be used as a car today. They are capable of highway speeds, they’ve got modern inconveniences such as air conditioning, power windows, power steering, so the usability of those vehicles increases tremendously compared to the cars from yesteryear . You also have an issue of parts availability, you’re getting into the age of the small block Chevy. There’s not gonna be a part issue with a small block Chevy. However, you got a Packard straight eight yeah you might have a problem finding the water pump for that. So I don’t believe you will see the same decrease in value that we saw in the past.

[@joethepirate1]

And that’s been your Mortske Minute. Now back to your regularly scheduled shenanigans.

The video is flashing green on my screen. 🤔 My KZbin is jacked up.

I’m here for the FIRE!

[@Firebird77clone]

Keep an H2O extinguisher. Free to recharge, just water and air.

[@zrxdoug]

Bear in mind that in the Great White North, they can become pretty useless in a hurry unless your shop is heated 24/7. 😁

[@garyowens3687]

Honestly Barrett Jackson destroyed old cars for the average guy. There are thousands of cars out there but man I can’t afford it.

[@SimonBrun-m3z]

Its soo simpel to put op a spinkle system money well spent

[@Poppas_fun_on_wheels]

Wow

[@ClemBunce]

the two post lifts are the bad ones the four post ones are safer.

[@thedude1275]

Man I really used to like this channel and now I think that you're just messing with some of your viewers why would you throw the Chevelle on there like if you're working on a Chevelle you guys are class x keep up the good work 👍🏽💪🏽

[@bobsch-gd6ze]

there was lots of fuel under the truck and of course the sparks ignited his nightmare.... Anyways, the psa is appreciated especially since your viewers enerally do not see everything behind the scenes.

[@terrymott8581]

At age 65 classic cars have never gone down pricewise in my lifetime. Hell if Americans don't buy them they end up overseas. (Or Canada / Mexico)

[@thegoodtom1718]

It won't be demand that drys up. The sought after vehicles tend to coalesce around what was popular for teens and pre-teens who are now able to afford having one rebuilt , I just hope I don't have to see the 'Fast and Furious' rice burners generation come to money.
