Home Garage Body Swap! - No Lift, No Rotisserie, No Brain, NO PROBLEM! 1955 Chevy Nomad

[@Murphy-fo6tz]

Definitely not the most aesthetically pleasing thing I’ve ever seen but definitely much safer than the last body swap. Thanks for not being squashed like a bug in front of your Mom. I don’t see you putting Norm Abram out of a job anytime soon.

[@kodak_jack]

Hopefully you’ll be back in time to put a real paint job on it before he decides it just needs a Black Widowish paint job.

[@DC_ABC_123]

People have been yanking bodies and engines for over 100 years with wood. Of course... Some of that wood is now 100 years old...

[@bwsgarage]

Mur, it was dark, but I got a pretty good look at the guy who took your wood!

[@bryanevans2500]

Remember don't put anything on the internet that can incriminate you.

[@OzMike]

That gantry was a "Dan Special" Looked like junk but worked a treat. ;D ha ha

[@jillkimmel4763]

That's what I call getting it DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMM NICE WORK

[@jack002tuber]

That's how they did it in the old days. Dani is sure handy with that bobcat.

[@Rollormotor]

Dani did an excellent job swapping out the chassis, glad she could show Dan how to do it the easy way. Great video, glad no Murr's were harmed in the making of this video. thanks for sharing

[@brendasnook9676]

Believe Jerry Brewer from Tilton Illinois owned this car in 1982 or around that time ,he actually put the lace on the side

[@travislandsman]

awesome engineering

[@danboutin8700]

Like a glove!!! Great video 👍🏻

[@rmilne439]

Slick job on the hoist good job

[@michaelegan8703]

Great video Dan and dani

[@WilliamPhillips65-69]

You two are impressive. You adapt and overcome the limitations of a small garage. Thank you for the inspiration !!

[@armondoborjas4362]

Well Dan & Dani. That went smoothly 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Dani is regularly Heavy equipment operator. She needs a raise 💲💲💲 we all learned again 👍🏻👍👍👍👍😎

[@keithreilly386]

Dannie the bobcat queen

[@Leo-vf3py]

Work of art for sure

[@johnconnell1424]

Dan you've got a great talented woman there nice job Danni❤️

[@holgers5216]

the DIY 'marriage'...body to chassis...awesome guys, well done!!

[@666MrSully]

Dan, Your living your dream!

[@apere003]

Can't wait to see the wagon finished

[@dougavis927]

Thanks for the help !!! Murr, he is so cool , and Dani, what a body swap !!! hope Dan enjoyed laying on the couch, lol

[@georgeparker7409]

Such a pleasure to see man/wife work together.

[@robertmedsker5305]

Nice intro.. dani has it down...

[@bryanheitz9023]

Awesome job!

[@gtocruisn]

You are building one of my all time favorite rides! So happy to see you building a Nomad!

[@kyleflamand277]

It looks so good outside.👍👍👍

[@deancooper6300]

You should be pretty bloody proud of yourself Dan, rust to riches in 2 weeks. Absolute gun effort!👍🇦🇺🇨🇦

[@healey100austin]

What a difference,New frame,quarters,floor and arches.Brill 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@jamesmallory2843]

That's what I call a positive body image

[@Wooley689]

I knew it! Dani really does all the work; Dan is just an actor pretending to work on cars.

[@kevinshiley9061]

One thing you have that I don't is the floor mounted winch. That's a nice, handy piece.

[@johnpola6810]

You could pull engines with your winch by putting a pulley atop your frame you made that look easy

[@terryeustice5399]

Your staying on top of this job. Even with adverse weather. Thank you for sharing!

[@michaelguinn5736]

D & D, wow!! The Nomad has come a long ways...you've taken a huge piece of junk & made a worthy car out of it.... good job man!!! Be safe, God Bless!!!

[@diggerdog9096]

Dani ,, impressive. Now we know the brains behind the operation.

[@george8718]

That A-frame is how the Egyptians built the pyramids, they could only wish for a chain fall 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Vet-7174]

Amazing job !!! Good Vid n Dani should operate Cranes an Snow Plows 🖒🖒🖒

[@charleslinville7555]

Improvise and overcome that is the American way. Even in far North America. Glad that all three of us are Americans. For your hard work and being wonderful People We give you honorary Citizenship in The United States of America. May you be blessed

[@timerickson7056]

a million years ago before harbor freight. cherry pickers were extremely EXPENSIVE and hard to find . I built a A frame to do A motor swap . I built mine from 12 4x4 lol 5 years later I threw another 4x4 across the top and swapped a 8v71 Detroit with it.iwhen so far as to put wheels on it .

[@rockiecollins4412]

Nice work. Probably one of the best back from the dead ever.

[@williamoliver8883]

You’ve redeemed yourself bigly Dan! I’m no longer angry about your cutting up of one sedan delivery!

[@Novaman66]

Awesome!!!!!

[@study650]

Wow, way better than last time. The Nomad is beginning to look like a car, again. Great work.

[@johnfederkeil9211]

Great Video!

[@suewatson1912]

And they always wondered how the Egyptians moved the stone for the pyramids. Necessity is the mother of invention. Great team work. Great video.

[@dylanhazee6634]

Woop woop back at it dd shop 😊✌😋

[@williamroberts4049]

I bet you're neighbors just love you two 👍😎

[@davidwood1923]

It's so Easy... Even a Caveman can do it. Hey hey... Looking Good. Thanks for Sharing

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

Genius and assistant at work. Fantastic job!! Big Al.

[@frankschwartz7405]

As 1,000 viewers, holding their breath, watched every second of this procedure with rapt attention. Nice job Dani (and Dan)

[@bigbellyrebuilds2778]

Wow that's great how your wife did all the work while you was being camera man. Awesome.

[@c.d.england8217]

You have it figured out Dan, a body swap is no problem for you now, great job man

[@RichardSmith-um4js]

The FrankenNomad is coming along. Very innovative solution for a lift. Well done.

[@mikecsokuly3122]

Love the opening and also love that you read the comments and respond

[@garryhatchett775]

Very innovative solution. Nice work guys.

[@J_R_Shop]

I like this method better than the last time! You're getting it done!

[@L.A55]

You do good work Dan !. Nomad lookin sweet

[@matthewborne7659]

I was gonna wrench on my car....then I heard the notification that Dan had dropped a new video ! Watched that instead ! Thanks Dan

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@kenmurray4232]

That was much better than the ragtop swap. Looking good.

[@randomyank7777]

LMFAO ! Go Dani ! Not bad guys ! Got her swapped with the tires on ! Yes Dan , those nuts do mean something ! It means it won't fall apart when you move it ! Really coming together , that body is so solid now . Well done , folks ! Awesome job , & outstanding ingenuity ! Houston , the Eagle has landed ! SO COOL !

[@stanleyfanning5316]

Alot better than last time. Good job Dani.

[@haroldrogers6083]

That in garage winch is the nutts , great A-frame .

[@robbieautrey3158]

Nice job on the chassis swap Dan, Nomad looks great sitting outside with the fenders on it. I think Danny is a Diva and she sure is good with that Bobcat.. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesweber4848]

You made it look safe and sound.

[@rockystanaitis2908]

Last episode you said "cold garage floor". Buddy of mine used a mobile home furnace to heat his garage. The heat blows out the bottom. He got a used one for free and changed the jets to run natural gas. (was propane) Set it on some bricks in the corner. Warmest garage I have ever worked in. A guy could find one with the A/C too. Thank you both for doing these videos. I look forward to every episode.

[@jeffreyc6508]

Looking good!

[@rogerarmstrong8893]

Daniel you definitely have a ton of Bobcat bravado. Dan shes a keeper.

[@jamesglenn2006]

The prices at Mur Lumber can't be beat. The Nomad is gonna be a driver soon. Awesome job saving another one Dans. Easy on Peg's banner Dan.😁

[@jayhicks3435]

That would be handy on next floor replacement.

[@mightymikethebear]

The home made A frame made the body swap much safer. Injuries take time to heal and may inhibit your ability to work in the future. You created a win-win situation. Cheers!!

[@tazgee6609]

Danni….”You Da Woman”…… 👍 👍 👍 Let’s face it, Dan would be lost without you!!!!! 🥰 🤩 😇

[@normstephens8354]

Back 40 years ago before engine hoists and gantry cranes were common ... we'd put 4x4 posts in the garage rafters to attach our chain hoists to and would pull our engines that way. A long 4x4 post would distribute the weight. I'd still weld some hooks on the bucket of that Bobcat ... it will make hooking up a lot easier.

[@Jimsathome]

100% improvement over last time! Safety should always come first. I think Dan and Dani had a low stress day with this method. (Except for the midnight heist at Mur's place...I was shocked the neighbors didn't call the RCMP!)

[@PainterDee]

I totally forgot that you chassis swapped that car, but remember watching clearly now (still the heightened anxiety due to the frame horn and loader bucket proximity😂) man 2yrs ago.. time flies when you’re havin fun!

[@lesterreed9948]

This frame swap was awesome, I like Daniel's idea the best . Daniel really is got the hang with the bobcat , great job Dan and Daniel.

[@jackiedonaldson7718]

There’s always a way! Looking good! “Stay tuned “

[@lewisquick8394]

Good job, sure made it look as easy as possible. Looks much more like a whole car now.

[@rorymunroe3771]

all new metal, no filler makes it a NOMUD...and it's lookin' good nice teamwork too..

[@bruceshook1781]

Lookin good so far!!!

[@stevecr8934]

Good Job Dani. The right way to swap bodies. Murr wont mind if you replace that wood and the fact that you were safer. Sometimes a plan comes together.

[@kevinl.2291]

That was awesome much easier than last time and safer. Man your kicking butt on this one. Won’t be long we will be cruising with you. 👍😎✌️

[@curtiswatkins4909]

You motivated me to do some work on my 1965 mustang today. Keep on teaching and aspiring other gearheads to get done themselves.

[@MrOilcountry]

My adage. KIS. Keep it Simple. You have a good hand on it. Love the Nomad.

[@BrunoWiebelt]

well done DD

[@davesayers5809]

Outstanding AF!!!!

[@JMassengill]

For the win! Nicely done

[@byrnejr]

If your limited to the tools in your tool box, there is no reason to even get out of bed in the morning . Necessity is the mother of invention! Nice job Danny my boy! How about a guest appearance from Murr? The times a father spends with his children you can’t put a price on.

[@stevee30m3]

Perfect home work! Professional! Gratulation!👍😊👌

[@zachfender8693]

Way easier than the rag top you guys did awesome keep up the great work Dan and Dani

[@ratsrodsgarage461]

Like a glove.... Outstanding body hoist 5000 you built lol

[@davidlang9939]

CONGRATS -- UV GOT THAT DISTINCTIVE CLASSIC BEAUTY NOMAD LOOK GOING NOW!!

[@bwsgarage]

Much Safer than the convertible! Nicely done. Calm and steady. You've got the gantry now!

[@ryno6101]

Of my long hot rod life experience the perfect woman to do it with has eluded me ❤❤❤

[@marcusharader3648]

You guys are awesome and I hope that you keep the nomad cause you are a true trifive Guy I was too

[@patfreiermuth918]

Way to do it! Year's ago I used my kid's swing set!

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

Won't be the same when you guys move to your new shop. Change is good and it'll be so much nicer and more efficient. You'll be churning out cars like Detroit used to do in no time. I think it's safe to say we're all super happy for you two.

[@michaelcarmack4731]

Nothing like a winter frame swap lol

[@keithlaughlin870]

Great look abought time

[@rodneybrown1696]

Looking great, chassis swap made easy by DD’s Speed Shop!

[@keithroute8906]

That is the way to do it. Way to go Dan and Dani.

[@63GT]

You two are hilarious! Great morning coffee entertainment! Nomad is looking great!

[@markbrown6236]

Nice safe job this time. Looks great Dan. Special reconnection to Dani for the great intro, Bob'catting, and winch work. You guys make a great team.
