New Problems Present Themselves Gearing Up For The First Drive!

[@cliffhaupt5413]

After using my wildfire lift for awhile I went and bought a rock climbing helmet to wear to save my head. Saved me a bunch of headaches.

[@K.Butler-e9h]

The new lift makes for some better video. We can see the action really well. Nice work Dani.

[@XenaFordPrincess]

"Being with you is the hard work" LOL

[@davgaizx9733]

Happy to see the lift, makes life alot easier for Dan! Dry erase board might be a good idea.... keeps things on track. Good job you 2!!

[@davidboothe4268]

He likes walking around aimlessly in the new shop

[@davetapani3253]

And we all love you too death young lady. Shit your giggles make the show! Love both you guys.

[@johnpassmore8176]

Dan just need to say. Those zip strips for cooler works like this. You pull strip thru the round part then take strip and put to the side and itll lock. Great video. Nice 55. Looks good even as a 4 dr. Id keep it original. Thats comming from a 2 dr guy.

[@JamesKadel]

Dan blowing smoke, he could never be without that female

[@Zazu2You]

Working on a lift sure is quite different. Lots of new things at DD Speed Shop. Cheers!! 😎

[@davetapani3253]

How you like that awesome lift Dan. Happy for you brother. Would love to see you Mortskie, Pudding, Vice Grip, Sleeper Dude. Junk yard Digs. Thunder head. And of course Pole barn have some kind of competition and get together. I would love it. All my favorite channels.

[@matzrat5006]

would love to see them do a weekend thrash together.

[@TorontoModifiedKarKlub]

Of all your cars. this is one of my favorites. coming along looks good. glad tp see you got a lift. a great addition . I got mine a few years ago. Waited to long. Good job on the videos Daniel. you are a big part of DD Speed Shop. Keep Dan focused . lol . Squirrel. lol

[@americanironaddict4130]

Just a word to the wise. As I was in the gas industry for years you need to keep the torch tanks secured in a cart. Watch a myth busters video on the subject of gas cylinders. If you launch one of those it won’t be pretty. Don’t want to see you two hurt or the dogs in the house they could go through the wall. Safety first!

[@benshore7357]

Good times 🎉 I concur with what you were saying about showing up at the part store with part numbers in hand. Usually better to research the part you need prior to going to the store 🎉

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I 1000% agree with old transmissions and not changing the fluid. Just add

[@JimsIfitaintbrokefixit]

I agree. The lift has added to your videos.

[@jmartin4030]

Dan, you now need a sand blast cabinet... for those small parts

[@Tim-57]

Hey Dan&Dannie Good show. Take care😊

[@jamesjohnroe3741]

I'm impressed Dani knows what you are looking for as far as tools.

[@throttlewatch4614]

I was expecting Dan here DD lift shop

[@bradleymckay365]

Enjoying deep dish pizza and DD speed shop on my birthday.

[@allatonce3143]

That engine sounds real good in your new shop ! No echoes !

[@jamesjohnroe3741]

Make sure you pick up some flexy hoses for the radiator. Highly recommend by mortski😂

[@chuckschultz7028]

It would be a real hoot to see an episode where Danni gets tested on her knowledge of tools and the toolboxes get sponsor provided organizers. That are, of course, never used again. Hey, we have all been there and have the messy drawers to show for it. A clean garage is the sure sign of stalled projects.

[@JohnAllison-h2r]

Great job 👍👍👍 Janel

[@Leo-vf3py]

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

[@andrewparry6106]

Sounds awesome

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

That’s a damn good sounding 3 ought 5

[@Robert-ni6ut]

Dan you are killing it on this 55 great job 👍oh and Dannies 💅 nails look great to 😊

[@cobyburrow9339]

Hope the tick doesn't become the bump stick blues. This is going to be a sweet cruiser ride.

[@BigBlock-wf3mh]

Love the nails Dani, Hubba, Hubba! 😍❤

[@johndavidgillespie2619]

Dan. I’ve found that if a guy cuts the header flange between each cylinder you can tighten each pipe independently and have virtually no issues with header gaskets . Or you can just keep replacing gaskets 😆

[@andrewparry6106]

Why use them at all?

[@sdcanyoncarver2203]

Best coment ever!! Make sure you tourk it to the whatever fills right to you 😂

[@benchman1351]

Finally, someone with sense, garyb.4080. YES, white letters out.

[@brucecoleman6014]

That lift makes your life easier

[@marksanders1942]

Somebody already suggested it but cut the header flange between each cylinder. Makes it much better, no leaks etc

[@randyprince9913]

Be sure and check the specs on your lift. There is a approved max from each end for lifting with the movable air jack. On mine, I think it's up to 5ft from each end.

[@bensymington5550]

❤❤ love your videos awesome content😊

[@billhacks]

Everyone knows that you should use lots of red silicone when doing diffs. That way its visible for the general public to see how good of a job you did.

[@rats56]

lol, or paint the cover silver!

[@ibthunder1162]

You need a small ladder. Tools always hide on the floorboards when its up. Wildfire is to slow for you Dan to go up and down.

[@peterGriffin-ug7jv]

Omg noooo

[@jamesf4405]

Dan, Daniel my brother!! You know, it might be worth it to hire an electrician for a few hours. He could wire up your lift and also set you up for better lighting in the garage. No more extension cords and it'll all be safe .😊.. Signed - Your friend, Cancer guy. 😊

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Agreed

[@ibthunder1162]

Well said. Outlets in the lift have been a help to me.

[@root_8540]

I'm here for hire

[@bigbow62]

The trans. Could've been reading low because of the front car tilting down ? Hope you didn't over fill the trans 😮 its an old junkyard trans right 😉 ( fingers crossed ) The Cosworth Vegas came with twin overhead cam 4 cyl engine, Baldwin Motion Performance made aftermarket V8 engine and you could buy V8 engine conversion kits but I don't think you could ever get a V8 right from the factory... The Monza's that followed the Vega and had the same basic bones had V8s ( 305s thats a guess ) I hope the trans is ok and thank you both for another fix-em-up Tri-5 class ✌️😎 The car sounds sweet.... time for a shot on the road with the go peddle !

[@BlackCreekOBSGarage-o4e]

Hey ,Great vids ! Just a note on your master brake cylinder, that one looks to be off of a GMT 400, 88-98 OBS, it shouldn't be metric but the back port is 1/2 -20 and the front port is 9/16-18 and they are known to have poorer performance when compared to the newer NBS 1999-2007 style master cylinder which bolt right into place and runs 1/2-20 lines on both ports.

[@yobentley7274]

I love me some Arby's, but do you have a Steak-n-Shake around you? They get my vote for best burger ever. Always fresh made and awesome. Milk Shakes are top of the list too.

[@longjohn77]

Steak n Shake is only in some states. Was my go to when I was in Florida

[@OldMan53-q4t]

Dan try using regular old individual exhaust manifold gaskets made for cast iron manifolds . They are individual port gaskets not the header gasket type . I used them on headers and recheck bolt tightness after a few heat cycles. They never leaked on me , I just checked the bolt every now and then .

[@RAV21-32]

Never seen anyone work so hard doing things two or three times over!! Really hurts my head watching sometimes. But manages to get it done somehow!!

[@mikescott1307]

Hackary at its finest..

[@ibthunder1162]

Educational channel.😂

[@garyb.4080]

Well if we’re putting chrome reverse on it those nuts will probably work! White letters out!😊

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

Tell us how much you're loving that lift now. I wish I had one! 😁👍

[@steelmill]

It seems strange watching Dan standing vertical.

[@shanewright6958]

Let’s gooooo. It’s time for another great video 👍👍

[@nickydepalma739]

Two way adjustable Spring Spacers .

[@VATION3RD-GEN-X-GARAGE]

Dan my transmission was slipping in Reverse and Overdrive. I drained 1 qt, and added the Lucas transmission repair and drove it for another 2 years without it slipping, again until I hit a deer and he stuck his horns in my transmission cooler draining all the fluid, and like you said all the old clutch materials are in the Old fluid so when I put new fluid in, it didn't shift anymore 😢

[@redwinstead7873]

Danny that was so funny wat said about Dan and it is the truth haha. He knows what you do for him. Would him alot of money to film him ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@StewWarner]

There were some COPO Vegas out there. The Motion Baldwin Vega was guaranteed to run a 10 second quarter mile or, they would buy it back. Now you know. Mr, not a fan of Vegas! 😊

[@leeburke4060]

I think one more trip back to the old house with a u-haul 20 footer lol.... and fill it up with small parts first. then large at the end of the box will help at your new house and your wallet expences...in the future...make a list before you leave...

[@ralphhayward5693]

Dan, you look so different working under the lift. You need to make a little platform for Dannie so she can see what you are referring to. 🇨🇦

[@johnivey7913]

Dan and Danielle doing a great job like the four-door 55 glad you're keeping it the same at least for now like the blue and white Manchester nomad now get you a blue and white convertible and have a matching pair you already had the 57 blue and white take the other two-door blue and white that is now yellow and make two-door post blue and white and you can line them up outside in your neighbors can look at them thinking there's a family that matches great job to both of you watch you again tomorrow DD's Speed Shop

[@rats56]

need to convert this one to a two door

[@nickydepalma739]

New Struts , all around or two way adjustable spring spacers . Price difference .

[@michaelstrafello7346]

Dan use type f transmission fluid you'll be glad you did

[@ibthunder1162]

Type F is for Fomoco product anyway works good on old chev's Great post.

[@robmoffatt4997]

Did you attach a vacuum line to the xmission modulator valve ?

[@darrenbaril649]

Make your plug extension cord as short as possible and big wire. It might help with the starting of the lift. No extension is best but short as possible.

[@marlonbrown1461]

Do you plan to do a two door conversion on this one? 55' two door ismy bucket list project. One day......

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Finish the guards and tighten cables MR DAN "AKA TRI 5 JESUS"!

[@shartne]

v8 vega motor? maybe it has a more than stock cam shaft in it?? Or was just the radiator fan v8 vega?Car is lookng good its a great build for the money for sure. All is going well so far. Love that PAINT! This is my favorite youtube channel I subed Danellia long time ago when she first got her channel. You all should have put her channel in the discription. You tube always quits suggesting channels im subbed to and I never see them again. You have to remember the name and its hard for me to remember names Im not a good name guy.

[@kevinlong388]

Cut the flanges out between the ports. That way when you tighten it down the ports getting rid of your warpness

[@macho4x4warlock98]

I know you mentioned the Pinon Angle is not right. Looks too low to me on video. You could have used a positive 2 degree spring perch wedge shim when you installed the U Bolts....

[@Speedy2222]

If you watched DD Speed shop videos three months ago compared to now, you'd think its a totally different channel with how much "the game" of shitbox tri-fives has been stepped up.

[@jamescrisante1673]

Black1963 Rambler American 440 / imitation gator interior. 392 hemi ,crossram, headers , 8.3/4 .ah blah blah ...oh yeah , big tire tubs, full roll Yada Yada Yada 😮😊

[@GabrielMullett7532]

I've had Transmissions go out on me the same way

[@BenSymington]

[@franklindner8259]

U won't have any threads left if holes too tight 😂😂😂

[@larrydixon-vi7ld]

I posted on Mortske's channel yesterday that anyone who had a mug shot of him to send it to Dan for his new t-shirt idea and Mortske hearted my comment

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

He usually reads and likes everyone's comments. He's awesome like that. 😊

[@richyoung7927]

Dan take Dani to Chic-fil-a for Sunday date night!!!

[@treetop.garage]

Awesome

[@RichardFrederickson-k5e]

I'm thinking about moving to Alaska from Seattle 😊

[@LeonardMagnusson]

you are so use to that lift already. "cool" you are now a mack daddy.

[@gordonwalker8003]

Well hello on November 26 th . Your getting 4 door 56 Chevy running look for lost , untied parts . From Gordon

[@bigbow62]

A Dani & Dan Christmas Light Tour: Was it last year that you two went on a Christmas light tour... I realize that was at the old house but you should see if they have a neighborhood near the new place so you can take chat on another Christmas Light tour 🎄🎆🎄✨️🎄🎇🎄 I hope you two are starting to settle into the new house it takes a while after moving before you get a few minutes and finally kick the feet up ✌️😎

[@LeonardMagnusson]

it would most likely be a first. platform tennis in the garage.

[@LeonardMagnusson]

that lift looks on you young sir. now you can find more problems.

[@marctorigiani4558]

I think that's a turbo 250 transmission I hope you can get it working those weren't the best from the get-go

[@MysticRuler-n4j]

Cool

[@manuelbenavidez8872]

Hey Dan, what happened to all the tools you had at the other place?

[@nickydepalma739]

Hot Rod Magazine , used to show the way.

[@Dowin-o5e]

Love your nails Daniel !!! Great work; great car too !!! Rave On Dan and Danni !!!

[@gregorygibson5455]

Trying to be like Mortske with the tickets

[@throttlewatch4614]

This American was at Canadian tire last week 😉 7:10

[@johncox9876]

It's on the end of your impact gun on the board over there

[@sneakysgarage2412]

Yeah

[@gregorygibson5455]

Hello Dan n Dani

[@blindflips4951]

Play never made a V8 Vega although aftermarket companies did make V8 Vega kits maybe where your fan came from

[@antinioacosta2710]

You didn't put the rubber insulator!!!!

[@bobbofly]

Any time your fluid's so low you can hear it blurching, slorching & glorping about when you give the converter a spin, you know it *AND* the valve body / clutches are drier than the Mojave in august. You gotta let that 💩circulate & trizle-late.

[@TheInternetSaidThis]

And Danielle found the 3/8" wrench in record time. - Internet 3:16

[@danielkoch6815]

AGAIN....Copper header gaskets!!!!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I can’t drive my 58 Studebaker right now because tge rear leafs are sacked out and the pinion angle is so steep it’s hitting the floor🤷‍♂️ old car problems

[@blakestone8088]

3:54 with no fill hole, how do you put fluid in it? "I fill a baggy with fluid and shove it in an seal it"

[@duskopetrovic4342]

Hey DD Speed shop! Did I miss an episode or update? Is the 70 Chevelle gone?

[@BigBlock-wf3mh]

I believe it’s still in Winnipeg.

[@TheInternetSaidThis]

He cut sheet metal off it to fix in front of the rear wheels on that yellow 55.

[@awh3399]

DD speed shop

[@albertvenable4122]

I have never understood why everyone insist on calling 55 56 and 57 tri 5! They are totally different cars might as well include all the 50s chevys!
