WORST 1957 Chevy Is A Roller For The First Time In Years! - CHEAP Brakes And Suspension

[@keithmason9342]

Dan is always at his best wrenching on an old tri five. Love DD's Speed Shop. Thanks Dan for brightening up a cold day.

[@ricardosmokes]

After watching numerous cars needing the brakes bled one can only say “Dani is the Brake Bleeding Queen”.

[@PainterDee]

They’ve really become quite the team at the task! 💪🏼 but that “BreakJobBreakUp” shit was toooooo funny

Cmon I suffer all day and shrink steals thr credit haha

[@darrinthomas9037]

I really love the way you are so nonchalant about not knowing how to do things, that's a future Dan issue. You always make things work and it always looks fine.

[@edwardberwind8544]

Dan your "All or nothing" regarding brakes is the smartest move you will ever make. Brakes are nothing to patch together they should always be well thought out and properly installed. That pedal and the rubber on the tires is the only thing keeping you from disaster.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Totally agree

[@327JohnnySS]

It blows my mind when I tell people that there brakes are shot or they have a leaking hose or line. Some just say fix the heat or a/c depending on the season. "I will get that fixed later". Smh

[@edwardberwind8544]

You can't fix STUPID.@@327JohnnySS

Keep that overhead heat on Dan. it doesn't affect your sound quality at all...

Nothing beats a nagy significant other than a day of retail therapy...20 cm of snow near Vancouver BC and I'm watching DDSpeedshop, gotta luv them Snow Days ! Copper/Nickle brake line aka Coopernickle ;)

[@geraldscott4302]

Interesting thoughts on the pinion angle. I always just set the pinion angle so the U joints are as straight as possible when the car is sitting on the wheels, with the weight of the car on the suspension. That's when I was even concerned about it. Back when I was young, we would jack up the rear end with either air shocks or longer rear shackles for leaf springs, and put super wide tires on the back, that would stick out past the fender. That was the thing back then, and I still love the look. Huge rear tires (on no more than 15" wheels) and a lot of nose to the ground rake. That played hell with the pinion angle, but it still worked, which told me that pinion angle does not have to be perfect. Glasspacks are THE way to go. They worked great in the '50s, they still work great today. And the older they get, the better they sound as the glass burns out.

[@staceyhetland]

I love 57s the year I was born and the first rebuild I was involved with when I was 13, it was my older brother’s first car 283 4 barrel ( 4 door hardtop )

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 when I first saw that car I thought what a basket case, seeing it now is a testament to your skills and abilities. You really do some awesome work. 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@DDSpeedShop]

It's still a basket case haha

[@94jimmy5]

My hat is off to you Dan. Laying on that cold concrete is brutal. You need to get an old throw rug. Obviously not while welding or cutting. You have an amzing work ethic.

[@JakeWeddle-zo4xv]

Cant wait to see it ripping down the street! 57 has always been my "hopefully someday " car. Love the channel!

[@buckshoth585]

Stop thanking me for watching. Thank you for producing this wonderful content.

I just changed my rear end gear old yesterday. On the backside of 60 and the next day I was sore. sheesh.

[@oldbobsgarage8019]

Really enjoy your videos. You show people what you do and aren't telling people "how to do it right". I can always watch that guy in North Dakota if I need to be told the proper way to pour gas down a carb and start a car.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Hahahah

[@nv1493]

Dan, don't forget about the tried and true one man bleeder bottle. So simple yet works really well.

[@dwaynebrazeaux3084]

Dan, put the yoga mats on the cold floor. It helps a lot to separate your body from the cold concrete. I know it's a pain but makes it much more bearable.

[@jasonfitch7977]

Small rectangle sheets of styrofoam work well, some use em on garage door panels. Beat the tar out of a pair during the winter then replace em next season

[@327JohnnySS]

Used commercial truck rubber mud flaps work well in all seasons. Also in front of a drill press or vice.

[@327JohnnySS]

@@jasonfitch7977 , not if you are welding or using a gas axe. LoL use rubber mats or large truck mud flaps.

[@markbrown6236]

Dani is so good at bleeding brakes. We love you.

[@dwaynepettis6545]

Watching you do the metal work on this and the Nomad helped me understand how and what I needed to do to put pans in my 57 210

I really like the build concept. An actual driver car. Great video, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@marctodd8531]

You guys are a riot. Had some surgery a few weeks ago, and am sofa bound. You crack me up. I lived in Pittsburgh and NEW PA for 32 years before moving to SC. 77 this afternoon. Had some low 20's over night for about a week. But... how do you handle the cold and snow. I know it has to be about 10 times worse there.

[@kevinl.2291]

Love this build Dan. I enjoy all the builds because you’re saving cars. I put this one up there with 57 Chevy convertible it’s one of my favorites. Keep up good work. 👍😎✌️

[@jasonbose3507]

Dan, you are so lucky that you have all these cool projects to work on for the wintertime. You are so far north that there are some days that you can't go outside because it's so cold ❄️ 🥶. Good thing you got a very cool 😎 '57 Hardtop and an awesome 👍 "Better Off Dead" Camaro to occupy your time! Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.

[@kevinwright1551]

Loving your tri five 57 Chevy. Working on them makes me want one of them. Keep up the great work.

[@ryno6101]

Have Dani buy a couple of old blankets at yard sale , roll then up lengthwise and use as draft stopper for garage doors 😊

[@rFifthWheeling]

Can you tell me how you nade your spring compressor? Where you get your disk brake kits from?

DAN have faith , ' ZIT'S ' could be in your life forever . I'll be 75 in a month and I still have ' ZIT's ' . Welcome to old age . Great video and yes bleeding brakes can lead to big argument's , been there done that too many times .

[@robertblakley7206]

Dan you're killing me! Get yourself another grinder so you don't have to change disc back and forth. From a 57 chevy owner. Love your channel!

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

I was glad to get home and see you had a video up man I love that hood scoop my cousins boy friend had a chevy 2 gasser with a scoop like that back when I was a lil kid I remember that car pulling up in my grand mother's yard it was black and the screen in the scoop was yellow the name of the car was tar baby the car was a street driven race car . Good memories.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Pinion angle is critical to an enjoyable vibration free ride. My 62 C10 had 1.5 degrees up also and I used the shims you mentioned between the trailing arms and rear end. It was quite a bit rustier than your 57, haha. Car is coming along very nicely though, keep at it!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

It’s been brutally cold and we got 2’ of snow here in Iowa. This is one of my favorites of all your cars. It just has the look.

[@stevemustaikis6602]

Well Dan you got the 2 degrees down right on the rear correct . I've seen everyone always measure with the angle finder off the top/bottom flat on the yoke. Never seen it done on the housing casting , not that it is not on the same plane as the yoke ,but I do as the so-called pros do.

[@donh8973]

35F here in merry old England today. I was thinking about changing the bushes and end links on my Mustang front anti role bar (sway bar) but not at that temp I might wait until its 35C. I hate the cold and that horrid white stuff.

[@Rob-Müller]

Hey Dan, check that brake line out to see if it is the real thing. I have heard lots of people buying the online copper line and it is essentially just steel line with a thin copper coating. Once that coating wears away, it will rust quickly. It is not the same as NiCopp line.

[@mickybitsko9003]

Dan, Your best work is saving junk tri-fives. Your a pro, fast and frugile. Dump the cobra, kit car, opel, model A ,and 47 chevy. It would be nice if you went part time day job and full time DD but I know a steady pay check is necessary. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@buddydunham9586]

I love the Dan's attitude of what the worst that can happen love the go to energy and making at wintertime beater!!! Every one needs 2 hotrods1 to race and 1 to use when you break the other 1 lol😅

[@bwsgarage]

Great job pumping up the breaks Danielle 😊

[@Freedbird]

I'm digging what your doing here. Dani's hat, too cute. You guys are funny. Impressive quantity of work from a garage with the constant updates. In the late 70's, only one guy had a clean 5567. Everyone else had a project. Around here anyway.

[@DDSpeedShop]

[@jaym4577]

This reminds me so much about a 1970 toyota corolla two door htachback that my friend bought. It was a v8 conversion from a university in new brunswick Canada. It was nothing crazy, just a 302 ford. I still remember going to get a christmas tree in it and the 6 foot tree was longer than the whole car.
