Fresh Paint, First Drive, NO WINDSHIELD - 1957 Chevy Counterfeit Convertible

[@oxyfee6486]

I like the door panels with the plaid topper, but I think the plaid overwhelms the back seat, I think it needs to be solid black. Either way it looks fantastic, you are definitely not lazy. Hit the like button guys, he deserves it.👍

[@davidcolesr.8628]

I agree, possibly some Plaid accents of Sort but Black on Black back Seat in my Opinion.

[@glennnickerson8438]

The quarter trim should have been plaid! Something tells me the plaid treatment will be temporary.

[@timrobinson3972]

Yes I agree

[@hippydippy]

And paint that blue steering wheel black. It really sticks out. Other than that, she's a total beauty.

[@javierdenardo2607]

Sportsman special

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good Morning, That’s a Sharp looking 57 Chevy !

[@ogt92fromthe1step9]

Happy mother's day Dan's Mom!!

[@shanewright6958]

The car is looking good and happy mother's day to all the mothers out there 👍👍🇨🇱

[@charlesherrick7400]

This has been a very productive winter for D&D...trash to treasure.

[@thehoule70]

That looks like a build sheet for the car that those seats came out of it’s like gold to find one !!

[@heinrichschmitt5252]

Yeah. The owner of that Ford would love to have that build sheet. If the car still exists.

[@bikewurks1757]

It's not a build sheet it's just an item slip.....showing what car they went on and what package the vehicle had

[@coldwarmotors]

You know you're into it when you're cruisin' with no windshield! Great save and lots of fun to follow along... Cheers from Alberta!

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

got to be honest...EVERYONE is gonna dig that ride.that car is gorgeous....be proud,you made it beautiful and it runs

[@thomasmadden1011]

[@thomasmadden1011]

[@thomasmadden1011]

[@thomasmadden1011]

[@sallybrokaw6124]

Another Tri Five cruiser! You are crankin em out almost as fast as Halfass Kustoms Brent.AL B.

[@randyham6172]

[@davesayers5809]

Well done Brother from where it started outstanding!!!

[@pb5778]

[@hupur]

It looks sexy driving down the road!

[@ForsakenSteel]

Man that thing keeps looking better and better.

[@jdeltoro518]

She look beautiful ❤️ great job dan

[@garyjohnston8000]

Dan you inspired me to go ahead and paint my 55, the way you turned that 57 around man if mine looks half as good when it's done it's a win! 👍

[@DDSpeedShop]

Nice! Get it done man.

[@daledassel5658]

Stop and think about what you started with. Just WOW! Great job Dan!😎👍

[@kristofftaylovoski60]

Nice work...with the ad hoc finish/trim work you would never know it was a fake... good job.

[@xxxxrock32xxxx]

Seats look good.

[@stevee30m3]

Hi! Looks great! Perfect convertible replica! Very good! Beautifull!!❤️😍👌👍😊🍻

[@teddymullins3706]

WOW Is this DD speed shop There's something shiny on your channel I'm impressed

[@williambobb6844]

I envy you. I just can't get myself to do anything anymore. I have plenty of time and ideas, just no drive.

[@CarsandCats]

You did some great work there, Dan! That's a car to be proud of for sure.

[@blindguysgarage]

I definitely agree one of the best we’ve seen on the channel if not the best so far

[@RustyZipper]

Definitely make Glen Quagmire proud! 😍

[@billmopar6461]

If you get hit or crash it you would see its a piece of deadly turd

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks buddy!

[@RustyZipper]

@@billmopar6461 - maybe so, but it’s a very shiny piece of turd but at least it’s not a MoPar

[@XCHANGEDAVE]

Love what you've done to the Junkyard Dog. It is truly an amazing transformation all from DD Speed Shop

[@vintagemetalgarage]

The 57 just gets better and better. I like the door panels, not the back seat. Maybe you could find a decent back seat at the swap meet and dye it black. Also find a black steering wheel or paint the old one. Other than that it’s a beautiful car. Totally amazing what you did.

[@RustyZipper]

I wouldn’t believe that was Rustoleum paint under there! Absolutely terrific final finish!

[@michaellaughlin8457]

Great job turning not meanly but trash to treasure Dan 🤗👍

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

Happy Mother’s Day

[@hdvette64]

A spring day with a 57 rag that you made from nothing! Kinda makes all that $hit worth it. Nice work

[@streetsnailspeedshop1896]

57 looks good Dan! From Missouri, I can appreciate the hat. That ship was strong!

[@joedannunzio9416]

The red dragon is looking good Dan. Now it's time to do a better paint job on the black widow.

[@Jimsathome]

Glad you're pleased with her. Hope you and Dani cruise around in it for years. 😉

[@builtbybo22]

Looks pretty damn good, considering how it started only a year ago or so!!

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Dan, You should be proud of this build. The car looks awesome going down the street. It even sounds tough. Grat job. Take care and be safe.

[@RustyZipper]

Definitely make Glen Quagmire proud! 😍

[@dirtydeanis4428]

Hell of a job Dan!!!!!….👌

[@paulbirkholz4927]

Good work! It looks and sounds Great!

[@markletts8802]

Looks stunning mate,it's good to see the whole YT thing working out for you..You deserve it,there's a lot of work goes into it this sort of build...🇬🇧

[@crabbinmoose8583]

Dan, please redo the rear passenger side interior quarter trim so that the aluminum strip lines up with the front door trim better....it's driving all the OCD people nuts on what is otherwise a beautiful work of art. Enjoy following your channel with all the home garage experiments and test trials because you, Danni and Mer provide classic car hobbyists with tons of cool ideas and lots of action that keeps us motivated. Thanks for the happy miles!

[@Tim-57]

Hey Dan I normally would not tell someone; "They Should." You should be proud of yourself.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Thanks buddy!

[@henrygibson1530]

It's looking good now the paint came out great. It looks good going down the road.

[@prettydog37072]

You should be proud of yourself

[@johnkranz4004]

I had to stop when Danielle got out there and come like and comment. That car is everything you wanted and more. That seating is perfect for both of you to cruise...awesome job...lets all share and get Dan and Danielle over the 100k...no one deserves it more!

[@DDSpeedShop]

[@edwardalamo2507]

[@rodneybrown1696]

[@bwsgarage]

[@codywilliams103]

[@Frontireadventures]

Sweet job.

[@heinrichschmitt5252]

Another Tri 5 saved from the scrap heap. Nice job Dan. Car is looking great.

[@johns9993]

WoW Dan that's a nice looking 57 !!!! You did a outstanding job !!!!

[@brianbrainard3272]

Im actually impressed with the paint/clear. Wasnt convinced that was gonna fly

[@ronmorris3823]

Who would have ‘thunk’ !! Great looking. Now it time to practice painting all your cars.

[@rogan1967]

Bad ass ! Dude!

[@AndrewTwoTen]

Wow, what a transformation. Remember when Danni said "this is garbage" when you brought the car home originally?

[@DDSpeedShop]

Everything starts off as garbage around here haha

[@phillipragsdale3382]

A true Hot Rodder.........dilligent hard worker making things work. thumbs up Dan

[@cultfighter]

I a m proud of that car and all I did was watch on KZbin

[@samwoodberry6430]

You might paint that steering wheel black. You could get the rear seat apolstered to match your diamonds on the door panels. Nice seat for Mur and Lynn. Happy mothers day Lynn!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Guys, the car is looking great! You have done amazing doing this in your garage! Love it!

[@markbrown6236]

Car look good going down the road. But I would revisit that plaid rear seat.

[@hughmackellar7941]

Doesn't get any better than this. Congratulations on a fine build.

[@thman6453]

Looks great 👍 just needs plad inserts in the front seats to tie everything together and she will be perfect 👍

[@Zooooom01]

And just like that it’s spring in Canada

[@CarsandCats]

LOL I remember driving my Camaro across town to get a windshield installed in it. I made it about 2 blocks and turned around and got some sunglasses because of the dirt and wind in my eyes. At the very first stoplight this guy puts his window down and yells at me and says, "Hey! You ain't got no windshield!" So I stuck my head through the opening, look all puzzled and said, "No way?!?!?" Hahahaha.

[@glennnickerson8438]

As I like to say: People are getting dumber by the moment... As part of my job I have to answer the telephone and the questions they ask sometimes make me want to pound my head on the counter!😭

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

That's a good one Duster! 🤣🤣

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha

[@tork62077]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[@burningthroughtimegarage3319]

DD speed shop movie car's it looks brand new can't wait more thank u for the entertainment and the information

[@marktelin7259]

WOW that car really looks nice. Can't wait to see the NoMad get finished. Keep the videos coming.

[@lewisquick1018]

I can only say WOW what a job on that '57. There is nothing like the stress from putting all the molding back on new paint, but you did a great job.

[@brianhaw9398]

Happy Mothers Day Lynn and all the Moms out there. Just having a beer waiting for our daughter to finish work then Mothers day dinner.

[@iancameron198]

Happy mothers day birthing a new 57.dressed in red

[@tuloko16]

Turned out great. I think the back seat needs to follow the same “black with the stripe on top” theme the rest of the interior has.

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Agreed

[@Wooley689]

She looks really fine Dan, really fine.

[@jeffsr8300]

Hell yeah 👍👍

[@jeffpowers2916]

car turned out awsome Dan, who knew, Dan can paint. great job

[@Joloke08]

As I commented in previous video they are Mustang II seats ;) Build sheet confirms it as does the the plastic removable backs and the way the covers attach behind the rear covers. The looks great in there dyed Black :)

[@hubiesgarage]

Looks great Dan! It will be great to see it with all the stainless, winshield and caps on! The car will be a fun cruiser for not alot of money!

[@donaldhalls2189]

Those colours match well, it's nearly ready for the show, it's really coming together, they look great together, you have done well, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@davisdeen4039]

Great job bro

[@d.mcdave8880]

Looks great! Makes everybody smile. Totally worth it. Congratulations, you did it.

[@northvegassailrabbit3642]

Watching this build inspired me to attempt a clear coat on the front clip of my wifes suburban that was really oxidized. I can say it is shinier and I learned what to try next time. Thanks for the videos.

[@briquetaverne]

Dan, Perhaps you should cover the bottom half of the rear seat's back in that black diamond stitch (leaving only the upper half or less in the red tartan plaid) so that it mimics the look of the door panels and the rest of the car?

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

You definitely build one sweet looking 57 ragtop Dan! Remember all the comments when you cut the top off? Catch you later buddy✌️

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

"Ohhh Shitt Dan's changed into sandal's mode " ! " It's ON mo-fo's ,,,,, its on" !

[@weirdmatter]

Really cool usable '57

[@deopersad2915]

Awesome 👍🏻👍🏽😀 but have to admit not used to seeing a good painted car lol 🤣 but great summer drive 😀👍🏽👍🏻🤙🏼

[@stew6338]

Dan that sheet of paper you found under the seat is the build sheet for the car the seats came out off. It has all the vehicle information. VIN number, paint code, engine, trans, diff and so on. Such a cool find.

[@byrnejr]

From trash to treasure! Awesome Dan. Now enjoy it

[@ronnelles1847]

Great job enjoy it👍🇨🇦

[@arronsondrini380]

That really came together. A new level coming out of DD speed shop. Agree on back seat. Great job :)

[@Hanlonsgarage]

Dan, put a 2x4 in the bottom corner of the door, at the hinges and close the door gently, it will lift the door into alignment
