HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DANNI, Mine was Oct. 3rd, my wife's Oct.4th . We are all Libra babies . I love how the car is going together and keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families.
I really like watching you guys figure out what is fubar as you go. Hitting wiper motor hitting steering cross bar. Sharing the struggle as it happens is what makes you so popular. These builds are fun but they suck. They suck for you so we should quit whining about how it sucks for what we are working on and get back to wrenching! I love this show
Loved the whole family was involved in this video. Dan I sure wish you would take 15 minutes and some square tubing and make a front clip adapter to lift off front clips with your engine hoist. That would save future Dan’s back and less damage to the front clip
Hey Dan, Your neighbor Mur has to be one of the nicest neighbor to have. Seems like no matter what your doing and need a hand, he's there for you. You couldn't ask for a better friend and neighbor. Love all your videos and builds. Take care and be safe.
It's a little late, but last time I put in a full front clip in one piece, I used my engine hoist and it worked like a charm. It was a solo effort start to finish.
I already know it... This is gonna be my favorite build!! Or at least a tie with the 55 Gasser, 57 Belair, 57 Ragtop, Green Dodge Satellite, Racecar Challenger, Model T hot rod, 71 C10... You get the point!! Keep up the solid work!!
Dan, you are doing a great job on all of the mounting brackets and installation hardware. It looks like it’s going to be a trouble free dependable driver. Thanks for sharing your build with us. 👊😎👍
I have a couple tri-fives. a 57 with a worked 283, and a 56 4 door wagon with a 265. I don't hate on the LS community, but there is something charming about oldschool small cubes. love the content!
I have 3 ss commodores with LS motors, they go,BUT they are a as ugly as hell, at least with the older motors you can " dress " them up with some chrome plated parts 👍👍👍
Yup, same opinion about LS motors and all wires, computer box..and fugly looking engine with no eye-candy at all... Prefer a 327, all painted up properly, powder coated intake & valve-covers, just right on a old classic like this.
It's always a struggle ironing out problems...took me 10 years to get my 56 150 back on the road...today...can't wait to see what the next problem will be...LOL. I've been operating on a budget...like you...for 50 years...it's in your blood..LOL
Hey guy I love your channel,just bought a 55 belair 4 dr sedan,i have done the 4-2 conversion twice,came out real nice,but the car is about the nicest 55 I’ve seen so the will keep it and try to find another one I really love your channel keep it up ,kc
Well, you could always do what Mike Finnegan did to his '55! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, you're doing fine, you got my lazy butt off the couch & into the shop again. That one quote from your buddy about doing just 1 thing a day adds up got my blood pumping again! Miss the '55 though!
some things never change... puttin it in and takin it out and puttin it in again. It seems like a never ending process but hell its fun so keep doing as your doing.
I would have put the cross member bolts in from the outside in, so you don't have to see the bolts and nuts on the outside. Plus if you ever take it out you have to pull the bolts all the way out. Keep up the great videos.
I fitted a ls 5.7 into a Mercedes sprinter van what a challange that was never again the son can do the next engine swap im getting to old lol . When you see show cars with beautiful paint around the engine makes you wonder how they get the engine in place without scratching any surfaces !
Dan you can't have a show car cause you're right the chrome doesn't hold up well to concert. Ihave been watching for a while and it's been very entertaining great content.
Agreed! If you can do it anyone can. Except for your welding skills which are superb. I could do all that work but the welding ....Not so much. Great job Dan.
Yes, you did help Dani, even if Dan was making off with your car’s good bits! Do you leave the cordless drill there Dan? Enough teasing, that’s another really interesting episode, thanks!
Your anti crush sleeves that you put it for your transmission mount is a great idea. I've done the past I'm glad to see the new kids nowadays are still doing it.
I agree with Dani @ 17:25… I was just thinking; “good thing Mur has his steel toed safety sandals on!!!” 😂 Keep up the good work Dan! Your determination and drive is incredible!
Consider: Locate ,install, a screw eye in the ceiling and put a pully on it. Such a Snatch Block on the ceiling should then use the shop winch to better advantage. Bo.
If you only had a 3 car garage for two car projects and parts storage for the two builds. Parts are hard to get now days, so when something comes in you can show us working on the install for the current parts. Could make things much less stressful in keeping us entertained with new or current projects. Your the type of neighbor with projects that ya just can't find anymore.
Dirty Dingo hardware is high quality and fits everything PERFECT. I know budget builds well, but taking a whole afternoon the messing around and guesswork out of an install is very worth spending $100 on the front end to me. For tighter installs, Dirty Dingo makes some really slick billet truck accessory relocation kits- they're tons cheaper than getting a different crank pulley, cast GM brackets, and Corvette or Camaro accessories to clear on different chassis
I learned something from precision transmissions here on TH-cam. He's the Premier American car and teeruk transmission builder. He says make sure to space the torque converter into the pump, but not too tight like the porridge, just right
Iam certainly a LS fan but somehow I’ve become a big block 4 speed guy since the Impala build and now the new to me 55 project. I already had a 454 and 4 speed bought before I even had the 55.
Like I said before I had a 71 Ford truck and instead of drilling holes in the frame I just wrapped with a ratchet straps to crossmember down and forgot about it for 15 years yes when I ended up changing the transmission I did put a new ratchet strap on it
i just got to say your work ethics are above phenomenal.........
It wouldn't be DD Speed Shop without Dan, flip-flops, Mur, sandals, Dani and the dogs. The Black Widow is going to be sweet!! Cheers!! 🤓
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DANNI, Mine was Oct. 3rd, my wife's Oct.4th . We are all Libra babies . I love how the car is going together and keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families.
Your the hardest working guy on you tube it’s amazing how you can put junk together and make it cool only wish we were friends
I never feel bad about my chaos after watching Dan's madness. 🤣👍 The finese taken in the front clip remove install is so awesome 👌
So gentle like holding a baby 😂
Haha thabks buddy

Watching you and this channel brings back great memories of the seventies with my hot rod buddies!
Thanks Joe!
Loved the whole family was involved in this video. Dan I sure wish you would take 15 minutes and some square tubing and make a front clip adapter to lift off front clips with your engine hoist. That would save future Dan’s back and less damage to the front clip
I would suggest using a big ass piece of cardboard on the floor to minimize scuffing of the front clip.
Hey Dan, Your neighbor Mur has to be one of the nicest neighbor to have. Seems like no matter what your doing and need a hand, he's there for you. You couldn't ask for a better friend and neighbor. Love all your videos and builds. Take care and be safe.
😂 murr is his dad
Lol! What a cool neighbor, lol! Almost like family, hahaha!
Yeah hes a pretty good neighbor
That grill bar looks good with no breaks. Careful it is delicate . sure is rare to see one unbroken. Thanks, you guys are great!
Yeah I thought the same thing
Happy belated Birthday to Dani. And keep the videos coming. I wish I was half as laidback as Dan is.
It's a little late, but last time I put in a full front clip in one piece, I used my engine hoist and it worked like a charm. It was a solo effort start to finish.
Yup. I thought the same thing. A 2x4 and a eye bolt through the middle.
I already know it... This is gonna be my favorite build!! Or at least a tie with the 55 Gasser, 57 Belair, 57 Ragtop, Green Dodge Satellite, Racecar Challenger, Model T hot rod, 71 C10... You get the point!! Keep up the solid work!!
I come here to watch dan struggle on things so I don’t feel bad for my projects going south a swearing 😂 it’s like comfort food ! Cool build so far 👍
I just worry about his back. I messed mine up when I was young. I thought I could lift everything without anyone's help. But now I can lift nothing
Dan, you are doing a great job on all of the mounting brackets and installation hardware. It looks like it’s going to be a trouble free dependable driver. Thanks for sharing your build with us.
👊😎👍
Danni: "How will you get it back on?" Dan: "I dunno know, I'll figure it out..." Me: You always do!

Money is hard to find haha
That front end practically installed itself😂👍
You made pulling the clip look way easy

Hell yeah! Right on kevin
Great to see Mur being awesome! Happy Birthday Dani my favorite of the three idiots.

Next on DD speed shop , a huge garage burnout with Frankie .
I still have 2 Harwood snorkel scoops from the 70s. Still in the boxes. With stickers!!!
That's sweet!
Thanks again for the transmission 😎😎
some things never change... puttin it in and takin it out and puttin it in again. It seems like a never ending process but hell its fun so keep doing as your doing.
Just goes in & out , an in&out, an in & out momma's got a squeeze box daddy never sleeps at night
Story of my life haha
Big effort but a major accomplishment. You should be pleased how its coming along. Will be a super vehicle when you are finished. Good work.
Hi Danni and Dan, Dennis here from Filer, Idaho USA. Here to watch another show on the black widow rebuild. Thank you
I would have put the cross member bolts in from the outside in, so you don't have to see the bolts and nuts on the outside. Plus if you ever take it out you have to pull the bolts all the way out. Keep up the great videos.
"Done like dinner."
"And I helped!"
Dani is the Canadian version of the Shake & Bake girl!
Good job, guys!
Haha she gives er
I like your helper. Puts up a hand to keep it from falling on her while you suffer. It's hard to find good help these days. HA HA. Ronnie.
That looked like fun!!!! Happy birthday Dani....!!!!
I fitted a ls 5.7 into a Mercedes sprinter van what a challange that was never again the son can do the next engine swap im getting to old lol . When you see show cars with beautiful paint around the engine makes you wonder how they get the engine in place without scratching any surfaces !
Nice looking engine, can’t wait to see the maiden voyage .😎
Dan you can't have a show car cause you're right the chrome doesn't hold up well to concert. Ihave been watching for a while and it's been very entertaining great content.
DD SPEED SHOP 😎 RULES!!! All hail to the Queen
Happy Happy Birthday Dani....Hope it was a Wonderful Day!🤩
Agreed! If you can do it anyone can. Except for your welding skills which are superb. I could do all that work but the welding ....Not so much. Great job Dan.
Happy late birthday Dannie another great video Dan
Yes, you did help Dani, even if Dan was making off with your car’s good bits! Do you leave the cordless drill there Dan? Enough teasing, that’s another really interesting episode, thanks!
Some good reliable heavy duty jack stands 💪
Great job and video. Happy birthday Dani... 👍👍🇨🇱
Your anti crush sleeves that you put it for your transmission mount is a great idea. I've done the past I'm glad to see the new kids nowadays are still doing it.
Haha hey thanks man!
Well that wasn't as bad going in. Its coming along really well. Thanks for sharing Dan . Hey Mur and Dani
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Happy Birthday Dani
I agree with Dani @ 17:25…
I was just thinking; “good thing Mur has his steel toed safety sandals on!!!” 😂
Keep up the good work Dan! Your determination and drive is incredible!
The sound Dan makes at 29:30😂😂
Looking sweet! I love the "adding to the patina" way of thinking. I'm gonna adopt that into my build process 😂🍻
Going to be driving soon
Dan really looks like Thor swinging that hammer around.
Although I didn’t watch this great vid until Oct 4th here in Oz I would like to wish Danni the very best for her birthday 🎉🎉❤️
I'm Glad the Jack stands didn't fall again
Larry, Mur and Curly done it !!!!
This is my favorite car of all of them
Consider: Locate ,install, a screw eye in the ceiling and put a pully on it. Such a Snatch Block on the ceiling should then use the shop winch to better advantage. Bo.
You are one knuckle busting hard working dude 👍
Thanks Mike!

Happy belated B-Day Dani!
HOLLEY has an entire dash for its EFI setup. It's huge I saw Finnagin's garage install one, a few months back they are awesome!
U have the coolest disposition while that engine/tranny resists with every once of heavy coldass steel effort it can!!
Looking good this is going to be a nice daily driver. 👍😎✌️
Holly's lowrider LS oil pan has a little more finger room that help with removing the filter
Hey Dan, You said, "if I can do it anybody can do it". The problem is, you make it look to easy. Nothing ever goes easy for me. lol
Haha its never easy
Like A 🤦😡🤬🤬🤬😥😢🤬🤬💪💪🤏🤏😮💨☺️ glove.
Is it "Danger Danger Speed Shop" 🤣🤣🤣👍
Happy birthday queen D
Happy Birthday Dannie!!!!
Nice work on the tranny mount-hole sleeve and grind . That’s sexy. I learned something
Happy Birthday, Dani! Hope it was a great one.
😀
That apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Motor installation jackstand Jimmy approved
The fellow helping you must be an old ford engineer he likes the hammer tool.
Hahahaha

Happy Happy B dAY Dani, The Car looks a beast!
Pile of work gettin done! Great to see Mur over for the struggle! So does this seem like Deja Vu? Hahaha! Doing good Dan, she will be SWEET!
The very 1st video I watched , You was sitting on the garage floor, feet crossed wearing sandals changing the brakes on the red 57 give away ! LOL
Haha my happy place
Come on now- lets get the house/property for Dani, and the 5 car garage for Dan- you are at 77k subs!!!
I'm liking this build !! 👍👍🐿️
As Peg would say the removal and reinstallation of that front clip was f#@ken Mint
Murr taking his time is worth watching an extra O'Reilly auto parts add 😂
Haha thanks J
Happy late birthday hope you had a wonderful birthday my birthday is tomorrow October 4
Happy Belated birthday!
Safety fir....NAH....GIMME A HAMMER!....my kina' guy.
Another beauty mate
Danni, happy belated birthday!!!
I learned something from precision transmissions here on TH-cam. He's the Premier American car and teeruk transmission builder. He says make sure to space the torque converter into the pump, but not too tight
like the porridge, just right
Tickity boo! Nice Peep show reference!
L👀kin g👀d buddy..
👋😎👍
Good thing those weren’t HarborFreight jack stands! LoL
Hahaha
I hope those are safety sandals Murr is wearing! Always a little easier with a pair of extra hands. Keep up the great work 👍🇨🇦
Can’t wait to see how she turns out gonna be a ripper
Another beautie is coming to life to ride again.
Happy birthday
Iam certainly a LS fan but somehow I’ve become a big block 4 speed guy since the Impala build and now the new to me 55 project. I already had a 454 and 4 speed bought before I even had the 55.
You know, the camera on a tripod, for short periods of time, would enable Dani, to help.😃
She knows that. I think that's why it wast on the tripod haha
@@DDSpeedShop 😁
Love the series as always and happy Birthday Danny , I didn’t know…an i or a y. Lol 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅✅
Like I said before I had a 71 Ford truck and instead of drilling holes in the frame I just wrapped with a ratchet straps to crossmember down and forgot about it for 15 years yes when I ended up changing the transmission I did put a new ratchet strap on it
