Dan....3 years ago or so that car was a rotted out hulk left for dead and you ...Dan ...brought it back to life thru hard work and determination (and visa..)....but you not only got it on the road.. but drove it 5000+ miles rather trouble free...that is something to be proud of! Much respect !!
Thanks dude!
And, it sounds cool too!
Just checkin to see if I am still hidden.
haha the neighbours rabbit just escaped at 11:19 lol
They run wild in certain parts of Winnipeg.
Considering where that Nomad started I applaud you.
Thanks Dan and Dani for taking us along with you guys.
Click bait.
I hate having fun and hanging out with my car friends 😅
Yeah, I’m way too grumpy for that shit too
Yeah you are pretty hard to like
Glad Dan n Dani are back safe to entertain all of us youtube fellars n fellets!!! Thanks again for bringing us all along on the trip!!! The 55 did saweeeeet!!!! Your handwork paid off!!!!
Hand work?
The Nomad loves you because you saved it from disintegrating! That is why it ran and rode so great!! Great work DAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet to see and here "Dan here" you guys are so great......thanks for sharing your lives with us all
Your interview with Derek was phenomenal.
I’ve been running carbureted LS engines since 2006, dead simple and they just work, can’t beat the simplicity and power for the money. 👍🏻
Good review of the Power Tour from your experiences! You guys are on the HOT ROD path for the regular folk... Good Luck with the new car(S)
The Nomad is a really solid rig! She's Golden! Can wait to see what you're going to build for your next trip! Thanks for sharing! 😁👍
You worked really hard to get the car ready to go. Glad to hear you had a great time.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for bringing us along-the Nomad was a great choice for the tour--Sorry I missed you in Bristol,TN-and I live in east TN. too. Maybe next year..
I literally had to wrench every day. And I'm still going next year. Good seein' you guys 👍🤘
Heck ya!
Hope to see you guys in Biloxi, man! With the Nomad though! For others considering coming to CTC, the one thing I can't over-emphasize about Cruisin the Coast Is make SURE your ride can tolerate bumper to bumper, gridlocked traffic without overheating.
It was great to finally meet you guys! Love the T's! People asked about them. I just tell them DD Speed Shop TH-cam! See you guys next year!
I’m in Mississippi and Cruising the Coast is amazing event. Get ready for traffic though but just pull off by the beach and kick back a couple Dr Peppers and enjoy the thousands of cars driving by.
Man, not sure if you did it on purpose but you have one of the most reliable cars on the tour, haha. Amazing where that car came from to now, nice work, glad you both enjoyed it!
Excellent recap. It's great that the wagon did so well on such a long trip.
I'm so glad Dan stuck with the NoMADD. I know he wasn't feeling it for a while and without blame.....but look at her now!!!
I’m a Camaro guy and would love to see a couple of them on this channel. There is a 1971 Camaro SS 396 in my garage and it’s my pride and joy
That’s my favorite year Camaro
He has a 67 and 68 I believe in total parts. It will be interesting to see what he does with them.
Don.t forget the Woodward Dream Cruise in Aug. I will be coming up from VA. It was great meeting you on the HRPT!!
One supports what they do because they represent a part of us who, perhaps due to lack of resources or ideas, cannot enjoy and live those experiences, and one is happy to see people like one achieve their dreams, greetings from Argentina
That bundle of wrap in front of the Nomad sure has the shape of a Bricklin SV-1, LoL. I think the secret project is out.
Nope, that is another project🙂
Welcome Back Dan!!!
You guy's have wild rabbits in town cool, your little rabbit friend showed up in your video in the counter time11:20
Definitely sounds like a good time it’s on the bucket list
i just knew Dan would fire off the troll cannons full tilt once he got back. you cant let him have 5k miles worth of time to think up hilarious video titles and thumbnails and not expect top tier trollin
Hey Dan and Danielle👋, Thanks for sharing the time and videos of power tour. It was great to see ya'll out enjoying the tour.✌️
I live in south Mississippi and attend Cruisin The Coast every year. You can't look in any direction without seeing a classic or custom car. Y'all will love it! I'll be looking for the Nomad.
💥Dan and Dani, what a great adventure! Remember, keep luv'n each other 🥰, and don't let the stress of the projects get between you! Have fun, stay safe!💥
Awesome trip, the SoMaDD did great !
I want ur 56 wagon !!😆👍
Thanks For The Videos,Really Enjoyed Cruising, With You And Danni
I watched the whole trip you two and Derek and his wife it was great.
My car Club in now working on an Power Tour type extended cruise out here in the Southwest. The Route were trying to get is Las Vegas to Lake Havasu to Barstow California to Bakersfield to Pomona, which 700 ish miles total. Were shooting for Veterans day weekend of 2024 for the first one, a cruise like that out here has to be in either the spring or fall when the temps are in the 60's and 70's, i mean it's 11 am here in Northwest Arizona and it's 93 degrees, no one wants to do all that when it's almost 100 and it's not even noon yet. When we get more done and closer to getting anything form I'll let you know and maybe you guys will come down and join us.
I did 2504 miles at 9 MPG in my Cadillac hearse. I stopped counting gas stops at stop number 18. Lol.
Had a blast. Glad that I got to shake your hand in ATL and tell both of you, thanks for all the entertainment.. Hopefully see you there next year...
Welcome home Dan The man. Let's get started on the next project.
Cruising the coast is always a good time, youll love it.
Words of wisdom Dan. Keep it simple if you plan on doing lots of mileage. All my cruiser type of hot rods I built all had one thing in common. Readily avaliable parts. Have a tool kit for each car. If you have more than one. Why pack an entire wrench or socket set if you only need 3 different sizes ? Don't pack stuff you will never use. Vice grips and adjustable wrenches. And multi tip screwdrivers. If you need more than that, you will find that one guy that has brought every tool imaginable.
Bring a hammer. You can do lots with just that. A real problem solver.
I appreciate how you always keep it pushing! TH-cam and constant videos not easy!
Thanks dude
We were very fortunate to have been able to stay at our own home Monday night, then at my sister's house Tuesday. After that we were on our own, but it did save us some bucks.
It was great to meet you guys, and we love the shirts!
Edit: Glad to hear your opinion on teespring. We were looking into them for some shirts, too.
Thanks for the support!
No major problems on any road trip of the length you and Danni just completed says a lot about your build Dan. That's something you can take pride in for sure. Driving a car on the road is what a car was built for.
We went on a 1700 mile road trip last month to Mount Rushmore from Minneapolis. You'll love it. You do some good climbing while going up to it though. lol I also averaged 14.4 mpg in my old 75 Malibu pulling a little Hobo Freight trailer, that carried spare parts and personal belongings. We had a blast doing Needles Highway too. One word of advice. You'll be headed thru SD,ND, or Sask. on your way there from Winnepeg, if you want to see NOTHING! Do it during the day. If you don't want to see NOTHING, do it at night. haha
Anyways. Thanks for the content and can't wait to see that rare Candain car you brought back. 😁
good job guys hope you had a blast on the tour and stayed safe ❤️
I thought the 55 would be broke down all the time but am really impressed now. Dan and Dani you two are really awesome!!!
Nothing more reliable then all mechanical.
Thanks for taking us on power tour
1 of the reasons if I lived in Canada would be to get away from the cold weather, should never think your going have bad luck on trip like this, but you try to take care of all the problems before leaving, that's why you test it out real good!👍😎
Danni, so glad you and your boyfriend had a great time and you made it home safely. 👍👍🇨🇦. How is my Biscayne?
Thank you two for sharing the adventures with all of us, truly an inspiration. I have a project suburban thats been sitting idle for too long, now i have a goal for power tour next year. Gracias!
What a great way to create memories with Dani and your friends . Derek is a trooper through and through, he’s about as tough as they come . Thanks for sharing with us . Cheers 🇨🇦
finish it man, what a rare specimen !
I made a 750 mile return trip in my '62 bus a couple weeks ago. I got around 16 MPG.
Not to bad for climbing the hills in BC. The '77 350 is still going strong.
Sounds like you guys had a good time. Nice to hear.
I’m new to your channel but I’m loving your content!!! I watch you guys from South Korea and very much enjoyed following the Nomad and crew.
Dan I went back to vise grip garage and Watched what you Brought That’s going to be a good Build
We used to add braze to the ears on the distributor clamp and dust them off with a grinder to keep it tight.
Hey D&D
Great to see you home safely.
Was great watching what you shared over the last week or so.🙂
Rest up, seems like there is much more coming your way.
Take care of Yourselves 😊
You forgot the 47.
Lots of peoples want to see it runnin and drivin.
Glad you had a good adventure! Cant wait to see what’s next!
Sounds like it was a great time. 👍
It sounds like you traded money for a whole bunch of memories. Thanks for taking us along.
Wow, great story. As a Winnipeger it's so a some to here about you journey. Nice
Great info and encouragement for all who want to try the tour! Looked like you had a ton of fun! Thanks for the videos!
"LS... because I don't feel like they have a soul" ... ohhh we could totally riff on THIS for hours!
We learned our lesson with the cheap hotel in Concord.. So bad we checked out and moved to another lol. The only negative of power tour was the traffic leaving Atlanta in the morning and the traffic heading to Bristol the last day.
You'll love Cruisin The Coast. 7000+ cars, and just like Power Tour, you will need a good cooling system because it's still hot as hell the first week October on the MS Gulf Coast!
Enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Canadian smiles always spread love!
Glad yall had a good time.
I am glad you went, Because. I do not have the time or money to do this tour and your videos let me enjoy doing the tour at no cost to me. GREAT VIDEOS Thanks Dan and Dani
You know you have made the utube big time when you mention Derrick, and we all know who you are talking about.
That was a great trip, enjoyed the videos, and the Nomad kicked ass the entire time.
Glad you two made it home safely.
Lol LS doesn’t have a soul! Love it. So glad to hear more people feeling the same way I do. 👍👍
Looks like power tour was a blast... if you have a hot rod, get out and drive ✌️🙂
Now Dan... I'm sure you don't wanna hear this, but you should jump back on that Dual Quad EFI system and chase the bugs out of it ( just my 2 cents ) I'm sure you wanna know what the heck happened ?
Maybe put it out on chat for a vote.... you have plenty of time now, and with the money you invested in all of those expensive parts, having it running on the car instead of sitting in the garage would be sweet !
I know there's only a slim chance of that happening, but I thought I'd take a shot and bring it up.....
Thank you, Dani and Dan, for the great videos of power tour ✌️🙂
( You two are the very best and you just make me smile 🙂 )
I LOVE Taco John's! Each time I go back to my old hometown I eat at Taco John's. We don't have one where I live now.
Hi Dan and Dani, well done on your time away on power tour. I enjoyed watching the video's as always. You were worried about the neighbours driving past ruining the video, that rabbits at 11:22 stole the show for me. lol. As always thumbs up from me. Stew.
Loved your tour experience-y’all are always entertaining, encouraging, and enlightening! ✌🏻
Hey Dan, saw your 'Don't Waste Your Time' and i took the hook lol.... i've been watching other channels of folks that have done the tour , Derek @ Vice Grip Garage, Lisa & Kevin's from Ridge Runner and of course they all loved it! Just trying to get all the pro's and con's of The Tour i can, can't make this years but hopefully 2025's and it's all good to see how fellow Canuckians make out ;)
Thanks for the tips, keeping it simple is always good. I'll check out the rest of your vids shortly, cheers!
Just got on board with you. Great tips and thoughts. I did HRPT in '17 and had some of the experiences you described. I drove from Washington DC to KS, then the tour. I continued on to Atlanta Georgia then driving up the east coast to Delaware to our summer home. Totaled out a bit over 4300 miles with one broken alternator bracket. It was repaired by the GM Motor Medic crew at KS.
I'm a few hours south in MN, the issue i have is cramming a years worth of work into the 6 months we don't have snow. I wish they had one of these in the winter / early spring since its always in fair weather states. Nice break from winter.
Doesnt matter the engine. Its the soul you give it a bit of, that makes it so fun.
Congrats what a trip, thanks for taking us along. The Nomad did great. Very cool you hanging with Derek, Lucky, and other well known car guys. Canada rocks 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
For US shirt distribution you could see if Uncle Crystal wants to expand Tony's shirt shop. Their stuff is nice.
HOnestly, the one thing that I have learned I think watching what you went through with this nomad, was MANUAL TRANS, and do'nt LS swap, and DON'T do EFI, or electronic ignitions. I am still working on an LS swap square body I thought was a great idea at the time, but would have been long done by now, if I'd just have dropped a Small block Chevy in it.. Computer gizmos, they'll be the death of us all! I say that as an IT guy!
I keep listening to these guys say ( you have to go injection and update) it's more reliable. Lmao. I keep telling people the most reliable you can get is the old mechanical stuff. Derrick at Vice Grip just had to put a Holley system on that's Regal because it was more reliable. I laughed. I even messaged him that he knows better. He didn't have trouble with the Regal but he did with his pickup that they did injection on last year. Now that I said that I am thinking Ls with overdrive for power tour next year. That and I could do LS shows and other car shows. I have a small block on the stand and I think maybe I should just put the small block in and a 700R4.
Mount Rushmore rocks. Secret Native ceremonial grounds up behind it. Must see. Don’t miss Crazy Horse monument and Devils Tower.
❤❤ Hey brother, I love your videos I was kind of went through. I got a new computer and one through your whole playlist.
Maybe the distributer hold down was the issue you had with the Holley EFI? Your right driving your car isn't fun, and hanging with friends. Everytime I drive my car it seems to have less and less rear tires. Not fun!!! Congrats on the new adventures that may come your way! Maybe after the 6.0L swap on the Nomad, that SBC could go in to Danny's girlfriend's Chevy II?
Hmmm, good point
It’s madness but it’s well worth it and can’t wait to do it again
Love all the hard work
Awesome that Danny is a trooper
Dan & Danni take the two-lane blacktop 55 Chevy on next year's 2024 Hot Rod Power Tour!! but repainted hot rod black first
Happy for you guys! l see your subscribers are moving up.awesome
Did ya’ll see the rabbit come under the fence? Looked like a cottontail rabbit like we have here in Alabama. Enjoyed watching your Power Tour videos.
Glad you had a good time. You've been working yor butt off!.. Dani's boyfriend need a vacation!.
Thank you for sharing the Power Tour.
Love Love Love you two! So much Danny footage! Thank you both for all the entertainment!
The videos on your channel and Newbern's show that you guys had a lot of fun on Power Tour.
All I can say is Bravo to you, you took a worse than basket case project car reworked it multiple times never gave up and not only did you make Power Tour but made the cruise all the way there and back. Just Awesome, wonder if the lady at the border who thought you all were crazy saw you all come back. Her reaction would be funny I bet! Great job all, maybe we will meet and see you next year enjoy your Summer. Love the Channel!!!
Thabks for the support!
You aren't all that far from a Taco Juan's. I think the closest one to you is just over the border in Drayton, ND. I live 7 miles from one so we get spoiled ROTTEN!
You're journey on HRPT was my absolute favorite series out of them all. Thanks for all the hard work pumping out the content Dan. Much appreciated you two!!!!
Glad too see you made home ....
I have the Stanley ratchet set, I can’t even look at the damn thing without everything falling out of the case, every time I open it wrenches and sockets fall all over the ground.😂
Following your trip from my trip to Spain!
The cost is comparable! $$$
I think this car is going to be your most popular flagship!
Hopefully maybe next year I'll have the big block 4sp 67 Chevelle together, plain Malibu but oh well. Enjoy your content, keep it going!!!
Glad you all had a good time on the road. I like your tool suggestions and have me thinking about next year.
I'd love to do one of those 1954 Motorama Corvette fronted Nomad wagons. I think you can get the fibreglass replicaéd now, and apparently its better to start with a Pontiac wagon (cheaper too) but It would have a ton of space to build a drag n drive car that run in the 8s , but can sleep 2 in the back which is my eventual goal.
