    Danny comes across as a down to earth guy, passionate about his craft, yet not full of himself. Very personable, regular guy vibe. That's the coolest thing about him.

    Hey, cool segment man, fun throwback! Danny's got his own YT series now and has a restaurant and his band plays and all kinds of stuff.
    Back in the day around the time that cable access was on he had a little corner shop up the street from me in Vegas where he was building those HotRod Caprice cop cars and I just walked in with a starter for my Toyota 4x4 V6 3.0 in hand after learning it's some weird middle of the intake mounting and asked if he could help me out and he put it on right there on the spot! He's just a super cool nice guy!

      Cadillac's Northstar engine had its starter located underneath the intake manifold. I saw a prototype on our shipping dock, headed to our Engineering Garage, (Hydra-Matic) at Willow Run. After they were put into production, I was IN the Garage, one afternoon shift, nosing around, while pulling chips & rubbish for Material Handling. One of the mechanics there told me he could change one out in 20 minutes. Well, they did have the tools/facilities, and the skillset needed to DO it... lol
