The Return of the Banana: The 56 Chevy two-door conversion is back!

It's been weird not having a tri-five in the shop lately, so we had to rectify the situation. I don't even remember where we left this banana (besides rotting...) so today we are gonna clean it up and take stock of what has been and needs to be done.

I think the 2 door conversion turned out especially well on that one, it’s almost like you’ve got it down to a science or something. I don’t why but I even dig the mismatched trim for some reason.

[@dumpsterguy85]

The old ford is mint. I can’t wait for the zip ties collaboration.

[@bigjon1961]

I have to say, since watching you since your first 2 door conversion years ago, to see what a young fella is doing these days, I am 62, I have fell in love with your channel and have followed you ever since. Congrats to what you’ve achieved and thank you for the content, love it!!! Screw those that don’t get it!! Keep up the good work and thanks for the laughs as well!!!

[@Jdwescott]

A twin turbo Chevelle would be pretty cool.Also Dani has been doing a great job on the videos,you really ought to give her a raise or atleast let her bring her 57 home.

[@coyboybc]

The 47 Chevy is still my favorite car that DD SPEEDSHOP has ! It is a totally WICKED COOL CRUISE UNIT !

Here in northern California 8500 for a running decently upgraded old hotrod would be a steal. I'd buy on the spot even for 10grand (and car be here). Somebody will come along and appreciate it.

[@TrendsbySterling]

Nice to see that you are able to resale some of the cars and I can't wait to see what new shop/ house you are going to buy!

[@randywineinger779]

Wow, image a piece of equipment needing maintenance. Go figure! That Tow Truck is your greatest purchase, give it a little love, Dan.

[@JohnLegionH]

At 25 minutes in... you said Dani has to make your clips into something good. Dani.. you're doing a great job of doing that. I've really been enjoying these videos.. I liked them before, but everyday is perfect! Thank you!

Yep!

I had to say "Dan Here" alone !😢 The delay threw me off! Glad Danni straightened you out!😂

I’d go as far as saying he’s the world champion. He’s definitely done more than anybody else I know of and it seems like DD Speed Shop comes up anytime someone mentions two door conversion. When it’s a bigger celebrity type person I’m always like whoa you watch DD Speed Shop too… Neato! (Doesn’t take much to impress me apparently🙃)

[@jimmiebrown5014]

I love that yellow on that car

[@kevinl.2291]

Dan you got a lot going on. You are cracking cars out. Keep up the good work. 👍😎✌️

Dan, I never comment but this tow truck I watch you buy it. It’s been your Best Buy. I just gotta tell you love your videos.

[@soundsidetoursnc]

For Gods sake trim all those vines Lol. Looks like a Hoarder house from TLC. Just hire a landscaper Dan.

[@christopherheitzmann]

Hes going create another channel trimming the brush on his property. “DD Speed Lodge”

[@brianrichardson7946]

Starting to understand why he doesn't trim out all the over growth around the property. Parts camouflage 😂

I was looking forward to your video all day and the video was worth it. It looks like your inventory is getting manageable (sort of). Keep them coming, please. 🇨🇦

Dan, My go to satin black is John-Deere blitz black, great paint and can be bought in rattle cans or just cans.

That ford truck reminds me of the truck my grandfather took me finishing in as a child would love to see it get a simple 302 or 5.0l coyote swap like how you do LS swaps in the 55s.

Helloooooo___________Dan here DDspeedshop

[@Rollormotor]

if the doors and headlight caps are painted yellow it would be a DD Soeed shop "Project Y" why? lol, just let the new owner decide the color rather than painting the whole thing in primer. the Banana looks ok as a driver. thanks for sharing

[@williejadesmith6019]

Loving all the videos favorite channel

[@kevinbaker6168]

Man, I would like to get one, street rod it, keep it yellow add the black and white checker striping on the sides, put the Taxi light on the roof and have "Fastest Rides In Town" on the trunk and sides. Maybe even "Flame" the sides with chrome tipped dual pipes under it with glass packs.

[@legbah7]

Daang Dan! You don’t have to have all the TriFives! Leave some for the rest of us, please.

[@marctorigiani4558]

Twin turbo LS Chevelle haven't seen too many of those that would be a cool unique hot rod

Hey Dan and Dani Aloha ! I was wondering what front rims on the 56 yellow banana ? I started my own channel because a few friends on KZbin and your channel ! Keep up the work you do because I enjoy your builds ! 😊🤙🤙🤙 Aloha from Texas

[@fred7854]

Hey Dan and Danielle, I'm going to have to buy and sent Dan a belt. When you were walking back to your tow truck after dropping the 56 off at your house. I was saying out loud like I was talking to my son, "pull up your pants". That drives me crazy. Love your channel, Danielle, your builds, cars and all your videos. Keep bringing us great builds. Take care and be safe. P.S. I need Danielle's email. I need to get in touch with her to talk you.

[@davidbrown-55]

Keep the Dan Here coming boss. Makes for a great start to the filming.

[@Kahuna54]

I like the front wheels!

[@jamesf4405]

Dan, Daniel my brother!! .. a couple things.. it looks like you've dropped about 25lbs since winter. I dunno, maybe it is just the lack of a coat? You're working awfully hard, my man. You can take a day off... even God took a day off..😂. The Banana is cool, but it really, really, really needs some DD Speed Shop graphics on it somewhere! .. Peace Out, Signed - Your friend, the Cancer guy! 😊

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB WIZARD!

[@weirdmatter]

I like the banana look it's cool.

[@toejam503]

Mic's working, you can hear the key fob beating on the steering column in the tow truck.

[@billunderwood5453]

I wonder if you're missing the value of floor replacement/rust repair/conversion. I think there are probably a lot of guys out there who would pay up for 'rustfree, running driving' even if it's boring. I think that's where your money is. If you can pick up 4-doors cheap, or rustbuckets cheap, BECAUSE you can make them saleable, I think that's where your money is. There are plenty of guys who can swap engines or bolt on turbos, but not many who can replace a floor pan or convert a 4-door.

[@jimpuglisi7973]

[@corvettejohn4507]

Dan, I don't know what you have planned for the Chevelle, but have you considered taking the drivetrain out of the '56 and putting it into the Chevelle with the twin turbos? Then you can just put any old small block you have laying around the shop into the '56 and sell it. Or are you going to rebuild the 454 that was in the '66 Biscayne and put it into the Chevelle?

[@christopherohara9421]

I think you are nuts for leaving the nova in the storage area I worry about my Camaro in my own garage

[@drewunderwood2859]

JMO but leave it like it is, painting it black would not appeal to me if I was purchasing, create the blower kit as a option they can buy, hearing that motor run would Appeal to me as a buyer. I don't feel your going to get return on investment of you time to do more to it, leave a little meat on the bone for the next guy/women. Hoping letting it all go will bet you the space you need and want, being a hack is funny for a while but I have seen you can do good work, get the building for Storage and prep area and finish area, and a little VGG get you some land to park the projects and parts cars, and invest in some Grainger boots and safety gear for Dannie.
