    You're right Dan, the thumbs up somehow make it all worth it. I get thumbs up and positive comments on my classics everywhere I go and it sure puts a smile on my face! BTW a big thumbs up on Nova Priced!!

    It needs a pro mod hood scoop. Everything needs a hood scoop. You know that Dan. Those are your words.

    Congrats on the successful build! I put NovaPriced over the awesome Speedway Wicked Nova project because you build solo, at your home, in your spare time, with limited funding. Much respect. Enjoy Biloxi and all those shiny cars, you earned it!

    The gasser did great on that run and Dan's right a solid cooling system goes a long way to ensure that.
    Happy Birthday Dani!🎂

  • @russellfuchs7903
    @russellfuchs7903 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Watching this I decided I'm going to do a gasser! I don't have car, I don't have the contacts and don't have a clue. On second thought I'll just stick to living vicariously through you two.😂😂

    • @DDSpeedShop
      @DDSpeedShop  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Haha cmon! Get out there and build one

  • @catman19

    Should turn the scoop around in the rain. Wet paper filters can fall apart or make carbs run rich when wet

    Dan, I live down in south Louisiana, I've been to the Mississippi Gulf Coast many times. Have fun, but don't get stupid with the Nova. Those Mississippi cops don't take too kindly to burn outs, and speeding, especially during Crusin The Coast. Y'all have a great time, love your videos.

  • @Katifda
    @Katifda ปีที่แล้ว +2

    WHOA! Dan, you're cruising a 70 mph and that 18 wheeler blew past you, not the America I remember!
    I'm watching you from Tahiti, I love watching you thrash, and especially the road trips, ...believe me, white sand beaches, coconut palms and the blue lagoon gets boring very quick..., stay safe.

    @Dan You can turn that scoop around for long downpours of rain. Those filters can get soaking wet, be sure to check them.

  • @mikeburnett7028
    @mikeburnett7028 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    The nice thing about that scoop is you can turn it around, so with the opening in the back, it keeps ALL the water out of the carbs

    Meh, I knew it would do well but, I didn't know it would do that well Big D. What a machine. 14+mpg at 3krpm basically non-stop for 1800+ miles right out of the box. Hell, there's brand new cars that won't do that w/o an issue somewhere along the road. Here comes the best part of all. You don't need to take it to some dealership, drop your pants, spread the cheeks and grit your teeth when something does finally fail on it. Best of all, you own Nova Priced and you built it. WTG DD Speed Shop, a testimony to what hard work, knowledge and talent can do if you just invest a little time. CONGRATS on a fine work of art. The blower is going to put a LARGE smile on faces and Nova Priced is going to show you what she's been hiding under all that skirt.

    My best friend had a 67' Chevy Chevelle SS with I want to say, 456 gears in rear-ended, blowing rear end up almost home from S. California to Oregon City! That car has been my favorite of all cars I've been around! Cool car dealer, house of hard tops, always having vettes had 59' Chevy, so we drove these 2 red beasts around with glass packs. But more interesting, I got call from Mr Honda from Japan asking to use my motorcycle 750cb to build 100cc oversized piston system for Honda shops across America. It didn't work out as well as I hoped, needing aviation fuel, so Mr Honda took bike back reduced compression from 12:1 too 10:1. Bike was wonderful taking it on around US trip! (Great story) I had a 71 Chevy Nova in ugly blue.

    @geraldscott4302 ปีที่แล้ว

    1700 miles at 12-13 MPG, with gas at around $5.00 a gallon (that's what it is where I'm at) that's going to cost you almost as much as you have into the car. I'd take the rotor out of the distributor if you are going to leave it in the parking lot. Even then they could tow it. Car theft is WAY up in the U.S. Older trucks all had solid front axles. 4 wheel drive chevy trucks had a solid front axle through '87. Jeep Wranglers still have a solid front axle. I love that scoop. That's the same scoop I have on my 1993 Chevy S-10 with a 383, tunnel ram, and two Edelbrock 650s. I painted my hood gloss black, and that polished aluminum scoop really shows up. I had the hood modified by a body shop, so there are no rough edges around the hole. I hope you have the front screen cover and foam insert for it. I buy WD-40 by the gallon. It's about $20 for a gallon can.
    I still have 2 of the hot rods I built years ago. I haven't seriously worked on a car in ten years. To old, bad joints, arthritis, it happens. I would never try to drive one of those cars that far. They are loud, no real suspension to speak of, no A/C, no cruise control, uncomfortable seats, no cruise control, terrible gas mileage. For trips I take my 2007 Crown Vic non police model, very comfortable, V8, overdrive, 2.73 rear axle, cruise control, 2 ton car gets 32 mpg on the highway at 65 mph.
    Nice video, it came out good. Good luck and have fun. Wish I could still do stuff like that.
