This guy is creative. Builds his own ‘57 Chevy Convertible from a beat up 4 door. Primer red, no worry for door dings or scratches. Just enjoyable cruising without worry or damn near bankruptcy!
True DD’s Speed Shop fans don’t care what’s in the shop as long as we get to watch and have fun and learn how to schmuck, smooze and meh with Dan, Dani and Mur. How can it not be great!
I must say I enjoy watching no matter what you do! I don't have a problem with taking the LS from dani's car since your putting a small block in it later so don't listen to the naysayers and do what you want. I hope you find a reasonable property with some room one day and you can bring all your cars home where they belong! I'm pulling for you dude!
I'm an old guy, so would have left it 4 door. I am impressed at your ability to cut them up and voila 2 door. Nice job on convertible and really waiting to see this one roll !
Your wife cracks me up. I like both cars that you work on, so whichever one is fine with me. Definitely beats the filler videos. Keep the snow and cold in Canada. Peace from the deep south USA
Screw looking for a new shop/home just pay someone to level off the yard side of the street and pave it all parking problem solved and you have already broke in all these neighbors no need to start over keep the videos coming love them!
The Black Widow is my favorite 57. Best I remember, NASCAR banned it with the fuel injection, but legalized it with the 2 fours from the 270 HP engine. In my opinion the 57 with the 283cu/283hp, 3 speed manual and 4:11 rear axle was the first factory muscle car. Thanks for showing us your build.
Dan you always have the best attitude with your vision to modify these cars and get them drivable A/C in that two door will be worth the effort CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING ROADSTER RUNNING LOOKS BITCH 'IN
If you pull her engine out of her car. You're not going to be able to get another engine back in her car for a while. So just get a LS 3 from a scrap yard and put that in your car. That way you're not robbing Peter to pay Paul . Less work for you Dan. And I have a garage for the convertible ,you can bring it to my house or I'll come and get it. I only live in Ohio lmao. If you decide to go south tell there's no snow swing by and grab me, I hate the snow. Lol . Keep up the fantastic work you're doing and God Bless you guys, stay safe. Love you guys. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌😁✌
She's back and I love it. Foose fake tri-five convertibles are fine but the finish details are almost a must, where as the Black Widow build could be the perfect "run what you brung" like the 55 you and your friend went with during Drag Week.
Fabulous!! The Black Widow is going to be awesome!! Hey, when people get a bit tired of a project, there's always something new on the horizon at DD Speed Shop. Way to go Dan and Dani!! Keep up the good work. I'll be watching. Cheers!! 🤓
Dan glad to hear you are thinking of stepping this build up with sound deadner, vintage air, and maybe even a headliner. This will be a great year round cruiser.
D & D, Dani, thank you for setting the story straight, we feel yours & Dan's pain dealing with the "no room" scenario, our driveway becomes our shop too..be safe...God Bless!!
57 looked awesome setting there. Looking forward to the black widow build as well. I don’t mind watching anything you build. Heck your saving cars and putting them back on the road. Keep up the good work Dan see you next time. 👍😎✌️
You stated in a previous video that the 57 roadster is going to be your winter project, that's cool. I want to see the Black Widow tribute car at least 8/10 done and driving. Your videos are entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work.
your driveway reminds me of my driveways over the years. full of projects a hood up on something and no too so for anything . but I had gtos lol I don't think I ever had a tri 5
Mad respect for you guys awesome cars man my dream car is a 56 4 door then do the same switch to 2 door with my boys helping but with my health probably won't ever happen but I am one that never gives up so it could happen you rock Danny and tell your wife my family says hi we love watching your channel
Based on what I'm hearing we may be getting snow before a month is up. But setting a month as a deadline is a good thing regardless. Nice to see you back on the Black Widow to get it ready for winter driving but was interested in the '57 roadster too. Be nice to see some of the upkeep work and driving on the Cobra too before it goes back in the crate again. Be safe and stay well.
Great to see the black widow back in your surgery chamber. Can’t wait to see it coming together, although you don’t have rollup windows planned for the back I am still excited to watch its transformation. 👊😎👍👉🇺🇸🇨🇦👈
Dan. The 150 2 dr. sedan came with working rear windows and a backseat, the 150 2dr utility sedan (salesman special) had no backseat and fixed windows, so that salesmen could store their products back there. And I think that people probably get upset with you, because you seem to finish all of your projects 75% and then are so eager to move on to the next project. I was similar to you, in that once I was done with the restoration of a car (100%) I would want a new project. To me restoring them was where I got the most gratitude. Thanks for the video
The "CON" vertible looks awesome. However I don't understand the thinking of removing the LS from the other 57...wouldn't it be more prudent to just get another LS ?
He may be selling it to a buyer who doesn’t want the engine like the buyer of the ‘56 did. I think Dani has a.white compact car that is her daily driver.
Think about this, do the vintage air, and the 8.8, but you should reconsider an overdrive transmission, 4L80E, then plan your trip to TriFive Nationals in Bowling Green Kentucky! You’re all set and ready to go! I’ll even buy you dinner while you’re there! Dani too of course!
Home depot sells some stuff called "PEEL and SEAL" for roofing. Its like DYNAMAT but much cheaper. 6" x25ft rolls. I did my whole roof, floor and anywhere else i could think of putting it sticks good with aluminum coating on it
Hey Dan, head south, the wife and I will put you guys up. Heck, only snowed once in Miami since I've been alive, and I'm 69 years old! You could even help me with my mgb with a Chevy 327. Trust me, I do need help!
Good to see you back on the black widow project car I believe that's going to be my favorite of the bunch Dan. I just wish it could have been a relief 350 and 4 speed but at least it will be fast with L S power.
6.0 LS and TH400? That's going to be a tire fryer for sure. Wish I could find a cheap big Pontiac/Olds rear end for you. Those things are expensive from the sources I've found. Looking forward to watching this build.
Dan don’t pull the 57 Belair apart…find yourself another LQ4 or even an LQ9 6L for the Black Widow…and be sure to do a cam and springs on it before dropping it in. Can’t wait to see this one come together.
My apologies...this is a cut and paste comment, already used. I believe Dan mentioned quite awhile ago, the engine is a bit too powerful for Dannie....so he is going to put a smaller one in.
Man find a another engine! Don't tear up Danny's car! No way man your going backwards unless you guys don't plan on keeping it. LS engines are everywhere. Catch you next time 👍🇺🇸
My apologies...this is a cut and paste comment, already used. I believe Dan mentioned quite awhile ago, the engine is a bit too powerful for Dannie....so he is going to put a smaller one in.
Glad to see you back on the 150 and taking A break from the ConTURDable! LOL! Just Kidding Dan... It's COOL! You had 'The Itch' for the 'Vert and You scratched it. Good for You Man! 😊
Working like a champ!! Ill be watching.... I made a couple interior kick panels for my 58 Belair recently. Havent worked on it in a year. Lost the itch but its nearly done anyway so i get joy just looking at it/ taking it for short drive. It only needs some interior finishing touches including the dreaded headliner and a carb/choke adjustment so Im in no hurry. Im like you with limited space. However, i cant park my 58 outside and feel good about it. I even have carport and good car cover and i still cant leave it out there. That condensation gets everywhere and ruins the "shiny".
This guy is creative. Builds his own ‘57 Chevy Convertible from a beat up 4 door. Primer red, no worry for door dings or scratches. Just enjoyable cruising without worry or damn near bankruptcy!
Driving south till there’s no more snow. Excellent
Just a thought: Leave Danni's 57 intact and pick up a LS for the Black Widow, Then let her park where the Cobra is. Winter is coming.
I agree , because didn`t he give it her for her birthday . that`s like hey babe happy birthday , now I want it back for my car lol
I believe Dan mentioned quite awhile ago, the engine is a bit too powerful for Dannie....so he is going to put a smaller one in.
Thanks!

100% agreement for this guy🙂
I must say I enjoy watching no matter what you do! I don't have a problem with taking the LS from dani's car since your putting a small block in it later so don't listen to the naysayers and do what you want.

Looking forward to seeing the Black widow done .Do it the way you want it .
I like that you changed the projects around like that. It says from getting bored on the same thing
Your wife cracks me up. I like both cars that you work on, so whichever one is fine with me. Definitely beats the filler videos. Keep the snow and cold in Canada. Peace from the deep south USA
Screw looking for a new shop/home just pay someone to level off the yard side of the street and pave it all parking problem solved and you have already broke in all these neighbors no need to start over keep the videos coming love them!
Dan. As long as there's project car / truck getting built. Were learning techniques new products keep bringing it👍😎
Thank god for picture-in-picture while at work. Best Tuesday in a long time!
Driving south till there's no more snow what an awesome dream,what a goal and very attainable,
Here's to Hope's and dreams!
safety first..snag a couple of fire extinguishers and hang one on opposite sides of the garage
The Black Widow is my favorite 57. Best I remember, NASCAR banned it with the fuel injection, but legalized it with the 2 fours from the 270 HP engine. In my opinion the 57 with the 283cu/283hp, 3 speed manual and 4:11 rear axle was the first factory muscle car. Thanks for showing us your build.
Can't blame them for the black widow build it's cool, great work on the convertible as well great workman.
Love watching DD SPEED SHOP,,don't matter what you're doing, it's AWESOME
Dan you always have the best attitude with your vision to modify these cars and get them drivable
A/C in that two door will be worth the effort CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING ROADSTER RUNNING LOOKS BITCH 'IN
YAY! Glad to see Black Beauty in the garage!
If you pull her engine out of her car. You're not going to be able to get another engine back in her car for a while. So just get a LS 3 from a scrap yard and put that in your car.

Glad to see Black Widow back! Truth is, I enjoy all your videos! Keep up the cool work you do, and keep it real! You have an amazing talent!
Hi Dan and Danni, Dennis here from Filer, Idaho USA. Here to watch another update on your channel. Thank you both for all you show me.
Your Black Widow needs ALL the best parts put in. Its a keeper.
Like all of the old car's it doesn't matter what make it is as long as you like it .
She's back and I love it. Foose fake tri-five convertibles are fine but the finish details are almost a must, where as the Black Widow build could be the perfect "run what you brung" like the 55 you and your friend went with during Drag Week.

Keep up the excellent work Dan, you are doing a fine job. I hope you are making a profit in all this effort.
You are a very inspirational garage builder . I think it helps others think yes l can do it .
Keep the column shift!!!!!
57 looked awesome setting there. Looking forward to the black widow build as well. I don’t mind watching anything you build. Heck your saving cars and putting them back on the road. Keep up the good work Dan see you next time. 👍😎✌️

After hearing you out , I dig the idea of a LS , turbo 400 and a 9 inch that’s a winning combination in my books . Cheers
good Dan i was starting to worry for a minute there i was having tri five withdrawals wow that was a close one thanks
Just stopped by give you big thumbs up every time 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
your driveway reminds me of my driveways over the years.
full of projects a hood up on something and no too so for anything . but I had gtos lol I don't think I ever had a tri 5
Roadster sounds good 👍 I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it at Murs place this winter
POR-15 has a sound deadener and also an insulator that can be strayed on, etc. I love it.
I lie, lizard skin. Lol
Mad respect for you guys awesome cars man my dream car is a 56 4 door then do the same switch to 2 door with my boys helping but with my health probably won't ever happen but I am one that never gives up so it could happen you rock Danny and tell your wife my family says hi we love watching your channel
the convertible turned out great man personally i like the variety you bring just keep doing what you do its awesome
Hey D&D
Loved the convertible build and looking forward to this one as well. 🙂
Take care of one another😊
I sure do miss owning this car, glad your doing more with it than I did. And nice to see it on the channel!

You should put the rolling windows in because...you have the skills to do that.. And it would be cooler.
Sounds like good times with the black widow rebuild Dan the man 👨
Glad to see this one coming together!
I agree!
Glad to see you pluck up on the Widow again. Should keep you busy for a couple weeks Lol.
Yeah, tinted glass is a nice upgrade.
Great to see the black widow back in your surgery chamber. Can’t wait to see it coming together, although you don’t have rollup windows planned for the back I am still excited to watch its transformation.

Black Widow 55 is very Cool!!....Time to Definitely finish it out
I like the bench seats keep em in there! Can't wait to see her finished! 👍👍👍
Love the widow AND the rag !!!
Whatever project it is that your workin on is always great content to watch my friend. Keep up the great videos shout out to you from México
Welcome to Georgia USA, No snow from sea to shinning Alabama.
"Everybody need a couple of red roadsters." Yes!
Love the black widows looks 😎
The "CON" vertible looks awesome. However I don't understand the thinking of removing the LS from the other 57...wouldn't it be more prudent to just get another LS ?
I am guessing due to a lack of availability and a lack of parts, he can still give us the content with the swap. Dani can drive the convertible now
He may be selling it to a buyer who doesn’t want the engine like the buyer of the ‘56 did. I think Dani has a.white compact car that is her daily driver.
Think about this, do the vintage air, and the 8.8, but you should reconsider an overdrive transmission, 4L80E, then plan your trip to TriFive Nationals in Bowling Green Kentucky! You’re all set and ready to go! I’ll even buy you dinner while you’re there! Dani too of course!
dan it doesnt matter to me which 1 you work on...your keeping out of the crusher and on the road....that counts the most.....
"That man is a liar". LOL. Deny to the end, Dan. Works for me.
Bring back the ‘vert! Lol. I love All the projects you push through. I never miss a video of yours. Keep it up! Excellent content.
That will be a great drive.
@2:48 - 3:41 TURN IT UP LOUD!! YAH! Totally hot rod music with a totally hot rodded hot rod 57!
Your programming is great company while in my shop , a true hotrodder and do it yourselfer
Still like you to put a top on the convertable sometime in the future. Your plans for the black widow sound great as well.
Glad to see you make this into a year round daily driver. Why have them if you don't use them? Can't wait to see more! Love your work!
Love Dani's smile n personality and she loves cars :) Your a lucky man Sir!!!!
The first good trunk floor I have seen you get thats excellent. I cannnot wait to watch you fix the fender rust it will be nice.
You need a DD Speed Shop It is what it is...t-shirt!
Home depot sells some stuff called "PEEL and SEAL" for roofing. Its like DYNAMAT but much cheaper. 6" x25ft rolls. I did my whole roof, floor and anywhere else i could think of putting it sticks good with aluminum coating on it
The " I have a dream " was great! Snowbird style haha!
have it ready in time for the snow plow!
Hey Dan, head south, the wife and I will put you guys up. Heck, only snowed once in Miami since I've been alive, and I'm 69 years old! You could even help me with my mgb with a Chevy 327. Trust me, I do need help!
Thanks for making these videos.. I need to do the fender bottom. Now I have a good idea.
Out with the DD-CC, in with the DD-BW. Love it.
Good to see you back on the black widow project car I believe that's going to be my favorite of the bunch Dan. I just wish it could have been a relief 350 and 4 speed but at least it will be fast with L S power.
Looks great from here!
6.0 LS and TH400? That's going to be a tire fryer for sure. Wish I could find a cheap big Pontiac/Olds rear end for you. Those things are expensive from the sources I've found. Looking forward to watching this build.
All good at the Ddspeedshop
Yeah Man, head south till you see palm trees 👍
Put a 572 in that beast!!! Go for the gusto Cuz!!!
Dan don’t pull the 57 Belair apart…find yourself another LQ4 or even an LQ9 6L for the Black Widow…and be sure to do a cam and springs on it before dropping it in. Can’t wait to see this one come together.

Sorry guys haven’t been watching much lately but glad to see y’all love the tri fives
Man find a another engine! Don't tear up Danny's car! No way man your going backwards unless you guys don't plan on keeping it. LS engines are everywhere. Catch you next time 👍🇺🇸
They have to stay on a budget with all the tri-5's they have they have to juggle parts to not go broke.
My apologies...this is a cut and paste comment, already used.

Glad to see you back on the 150 and taking A break from the ConTURDable! LOL! Just Kidding Dan... It's COOL! You had 'The Itch' for the 'Vert and You scratched it. Good for You Man! 😊

I dig whatever you work on Dan. Good luck🐾 Did you ever remember to roll the windows up on the 47? One day you gotta give some lovin to her.
UGHHHHH!! Don't tear up Danni's 57.......Shalom guys.
