Don't Measure Just CUT! Quarter Panel Install With Nothing But HAND TOOLS - 1955 Chevy Nomad

[@kodak_jack]

The extra time taken to explain the process and fitment is greatly appreciated.

[@Jimsathome]

Dan, I'm blown away at the energy you have for these builds => day after day => night after night. I wonder what your day job is that you have so much in reserve for the Nomad and all. Thanks for getting it done.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Just gotta keep the pedal floored and it'll all work out

[@gverhoeff39]

@@DDSpeedShop that's truth ! I used to work in the family automotive parts business back in the 70,s then I would work at the service station until midnight go clean a few offices , go to school in the morning .. rinse and repeat .. you have to just push through that barrier , once that is done it gets easier ..

It's funny I have been watching Dan for over a year now and I can count on 1 hand how many times that I have noticed him use a tape measure 😅 👍

[@deanrayne7302]

Great video. Amazing how many of us watch these during work hours. I can’t wait so I am guilty as well !

[@mikestrashcan63mc]

Yeah man I'm guilty of that!!

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Dan, Your doing a great job on the Nomad. All those people that said you were a heck, must have tiny balls. You on the other hand have some Kahuna Balls to take on a project like this and bring her back to life. Great job so far, Can't wait till you have her on the road.

The rusty pile is slowly going away and the cool hot rod is starting to emerge.👍🏻 getting excited to see where you’re going to take this thing next. Good work Dan😎

[@angryyank]

That ol' girl is comin along nice there Dan Man.... Take your time and just keep double & triple checking all the work & it'll be moving along at a good clip

Dan is big on fitness. Ya, fitness 1/4 panel onto the nomad.Great job Dan!

[@kenworth2343]

I've come to realize that the "Speed" in DD Speed Shop doesn't just fast cars but also fast builds. Never seen anyone turn rust to rods in such a short time. Love your work ethic.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks Ken!

Your doing a fine job, and what I like the most about it is the fact that people are pulling for you and rallying around you

[@matthewfocke5360]

Heave-ho and away you go...You make it look easy. I know you have heard that thousands of times. It's shaping and forming up...All 3-Dimensions. It is becoming a car again. It's amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing. I've said this before: You take it from junk and bring it to a new standard in quality... Your process is a frightening venture for the novice. Yeowwie! TRI-TRI-AGAIN...Your passion in motion: Restoration.

[@bloosietone2868]

This is moving along fast! You're in beast mode and it's a blast to watch. Thanks to you both for keeping this channel down to earth. Looking forward to many more episodes as this Nomad Story continues..

YOU ARE DOING GREAT. Nice job saving the Nomad.

[@traindaily2793]

You are my favorite Canadian on the tube, wait you are the only Canadian I watch. Well, good luck you are doing great

The wagon looks great big difference already ,Dan you need to invest in a sand blaster ,to protect all that work your doing... looking good.

Thanks Tom!

What a way to start the day.. Watching some good ol DD Speed Shop.

No judging here just pure determination!

[@PAUL-1961.]

I would not have bought that wreck, but you did an awsome job with those panels

[@ricknethery2441]

Anyone can restore a car but it takes a real man to cut one up! Good job.

[@patrickharrand]

Good job as always Dan. Thanks for sharing your Garage Time with us. You help keep me motivated.

[@thomasbailey8306]

You Sir Performed a Miracle on that 55....LOL...Great Job Sir. Im impressed. Cant wait to see it when its done. Great Video....

[@fullstrutn]

truly enjoy the work you put into these projects to make a solid car again many would have given up long ago

[@1977jed]

Watching your vids has got me brain storming....I think Im gonna customize my 57 Chrysler New Yorker wagon, making it a two door wagon....Its a hot mess anyway...so saved in any form is better than being scrapped...Keep up the great work!

[@madmax3897]

I admire you for taking on such a big project. I’m sure you will keep this one.

[@orionfixr7713]

I don't think so . I've already heard him say " That's for future Dan to take care of ." He has a lot of money tied up in this project and needs to re-coupe the funds. I bet he'd like to keep it though ! Going to be worth some coin when he's done .

[@kevinl.2291]

You the man Dan. It’s looking better and better. I totally agree about full panels you have less body work if they go closer to factory seems. Keep up the good work. 👍😎✌️

[@jimearnest4342]

Great tutorial Dan,not amateur butcherie,that's professional butcherie if there ever was.

[@secaustinisaposzelazny9518]

Dan, great craftsmanship. You make this type work so do able, for me. Enjoying the process.

[@junkyyarddawg]

So freaking impressed at what you've done already!

[@charleslinville7555]

Those rear fitments are a pain in the arse. As usual Dan you knocked it out of the park. Great Job!

[@davecrouse3893]

Nice work Dan. Can't believe What you started with. Saved a cool car.

[@charlesherrick7400]

Thanks for going into the details of your thinking process.

[@CrazyWillie01]

Super enjoy seeing you rebuild this Nomad . I was a sworn 56 fan but I mite be more open to a 55 now great work Bud

[@joeroad6618]

I hope you saved that panel and hang it on the wall, a trophy of the hard work put into that nomad, plus the paint was kinda cool!

[@DJRudyNaves]

I like the work you do on your cars, patching, changing dashboards, mechanical adaptations and updates to the brake systems, all very cool. The expensive ones are to your liking and to your liking, and the coolest thing about it all is that you can ride and enjoy it without caring if they are show cars. Where I live, bureaucracy and traffic regulations prevent us from rebuilding such cool cars.

[@porschmn167]

I have a 55 BA 2Dr HT that I got with both quarters cut off. I have bought both replacement panels and have been avoiding working on them because the task of mounting them seemed so daunting. I now feel much better about giving it a try, like you I'm doing this alone so seeing what and how you've done it gives me a better understanding of the process. Thanks for taking the time on the passenger side to film and explain what you were doing! Hopefully I have near the success you had. Great job!

[@MagaRickn]

Okay, you give me renewed hope and confidence. I was looking to just do a rear quarter panel patch where my bull bashed in the back area, but now I am thinking a complete new quarter panel will be the better idea. Besides, no one seems to make the wheel well back patch panels anymore for my 56 2Dr. I have been sharing your videos with my son as he is the one that will do the lions share of my project. After 50 years, this will be the last time. ;)

[@danboutin8700]

Great video 👍🏻 and explained how to!!! Can’t wait to see how you are doing the body swap!!!

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Great vid!!! I looked at my rotten quarters for months...... Like you said. One day i just chopped. Now they are done !!!

Been enjoying watching you work😁 lol. Awesome series here👍 Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@3MonkeysGarage]

I had to come back to this one, just to say, nice job on the detailed explanation. It is hard when you have part of your mind on the video recording, and trying to get a job done, then to take the time to lay it out. Good on you. Replacing panels is a shifty business at best.

[@pamelamason4011]

We watch a bunch of different car guys. I love your attitude and humility. Never change.

Great video Dan, it all about taken your time and keep checking the work to see how its fitting. Its looking better all the time . Have a great week.

[@chuckharris1038]

I cannot say anything You done much better and I bet a lot faster than I ever would Last car I drove with a bad quarter cause I did not want to try it And felt bad every time I drove the car . Good job this car is going to bad ass It might be the one you want to keep And can’t to keep the show going How ever I hope it works out the way you want

Yeah the lines are never as crisp on a re pop panel unfortunately

Lovin’ this Dan! Great to see this down and out Nomad coming back to life!

[@randomyank7777]

Love what you do on these videos , Dan ! Most people don't show the meat & potatoes of car building . But then , you ain't most people . What you started with is a car most people wouldn't have bothered restoring . But you did . It is quickly becoming a car most would love to own , because you are doing it right . This Bad Boy is going to look great on that refurbished frame ! You are an inspiration to every back yard & small garage mechanic , globally ! Boom !
