ABANDONED 1955 Chevy Nomad - The Car The Internet Won't Let Me Forget About! 

I have to give you credit for not losing your shit and setting the whole works on fire when you tripped over the winch cable.

This is so enjoyable. To come from my unheated shop, through snow testicle high in -30 degree temps and watch a fellow enthusiast working hard in the same conditions. Nice.

Glad to see the Nomad back in rotation. 55 is my favorite tri five. And the Nomad is my favorite 55 My brother had one that I was the custodian of for a couple years. He had to sell it for some legal reasons and he has since passed. So,every time I see one I smile. I agree make it a nice driver.thats what his was. Trailered show cars are nice but pulling up to a gas station and the smiles for miles Definitely out weigh the 🏆 trophies

Can't wait for more nomad content. Love that you share when you're discouraged, mess up, and even trip and fall. The realness of your channel makes me come back over and over. We've all been there.

You have done an awesome job on the Nomad so far. That's going to be a badass ride when it's done and it sounded badass as well! Thanks for bringing it back and letting us all watch the progress! 😊👍

That Nomad sounded vicious! 😡😀

If car restorations were easy everyone would do it. I hope Nomad gets the love and attention she deserves.

That Nomad 1/4 panel on the wall is proof that time travel is possible. Clearly Dan traveled back in time to create that work of art. 😉

I bought a 1955 chevy nomad in 1988. Little did I know how much the glass and new stainless moldings would cost me to replace ! Gas tank was a special piece for the Nomad too ! $$$$$$$!

Love the nomad would love to see you finish it n make it your daily driver you worked so hard to get to this point keep hot rodding

I think part of this channels success is to se the insufferable conditions you work under. Every car guy have been 16-18 years old and worked on a car outside in the rain etc. This is a throw back when. Keep up the good work.

It's hard to believe that your local auto-parts stores wouldn't have an adjuster for a '68 Camaro or equivalent. GM used that same part number up until 1984 (according to RockAuto anyway) The wipe out over the tow cable looked pretty brutal. Take care and thanks again for sharing your Garage Time with us.

Thanks for digging out the Nomad. We'll be digging your progress on it.

Nice to see the return to the Nomad! Good call trying to get your bodywork friend involved. This car deserves the full treatment!

Still mad about the delivery wagon being cut up. In my day that would have been the perfect shaggin wagon. No back windows. The nomad is looking good.

Danny my boy, I can watch that clip of you tripping over that tow cable forever. Most people would have edited that out but not you. Thank you for being you my friend.

It’s too bad Scott is so far away in Edmonton, a collab with Coldwarmotors for a quick shot of colour on that old girl would be epic !!! Happy new year Dan & Dani !

Badass, winter, in garage, real work. With tools anyone can get from harbor freight. I’m doing a 57 hardtop. Thank you brother.

OK, where to start. First, as the Hot Rod Jesus, you are awesome. 2. That fall, good technique ( not sticking your hand out and snapping fingers, wrist, and so on ) and I am glad you are not hurt. 3. I love your love of the tri-5's! I grew up across the street from a Bracket racer that ran small block(s) in a 57. My first experience in that car, freeway entrance, from a dead stop. Full on race slicks. He revved it to 6 grand and dropped the clutch. shifting from 2nd to 3rd, at speed, the slicks spun and laid a 3 foot patch on the freeway, at just over 115 miles an hour. I was 11 years old. Been hooked ever since. To keep it short, I have watched ALL of your vids after finding this channel, a year + ago. Keep doing you, you've got a good thing going.

Forgot how good that small block sounded! Glad you decided to work on it again!

Yep crunchy snow is a good sighn ...but when the snot in your nose freezes as soon as you step out side...you really know its friggin cold...keep up the great vids

Dan, your effort on the Nomad is appreciated. Almost all the RU-vidrs out there hate bodywork (or so it seems). Even your fellow Canuck "Bad Chad" never finishes his RU-vid builds because of it (or so it seems). 😆 I think you should finish up the Nomad and make it the car for your next Power Tour.

Very good job you have done on this Fine longroof! Good thing you had winter clothes for that fall, extra padding! Lol.... I always hate when those cables come out of no where!!!!

WOW What a difference hard work made in this Nomad! Love them and you saved this one!

Tough to keep motivated when its ass cold. Every little thing becomes a chore. Best to pick jobs that are fairly quick and have a higher chance of success. Its always nice to close up on a high note. The slip and falls or trip and falls can take the wind right out of your sail and make you want to just forget it till spring. Just take little bites till it warms up some. Thanks for gettin out there despite the weather. Still good watching. Happy New Year to you both! McDave

Your motors always sound good. The throttle response is really good. Always loved all the nomads.

OUCH !!! That fall hurt , just watching it ! Damn Dan . Freefalling from 2 feet up , very cold , & NO net . Ugh . I remember when you got that Nomad . All basket , not much case , or body , no engine , trans , floors , or glass . Roof & title I believe you called it . Yup . So what we see now is ALL Dan , with a plan . Hope you had a merry Christmas , Dan & Dani ! Those bruised knees will hurt you into the New Year , buddy . The bruised ego , not so long , as you posted it . New frame , that's a story in itself , body steel , a complete floor pan , front end , rear end , engine , trans , drive shaft , & exhaust . All the new rear gate cables from the wagon you just pulled out , & then primer & roof paint . That 55 Nomad ? Ya ! That one . I'm glad to see you working on it again , Dan . She still sounds great ! I have no doubt the amount of crap you got from the "sold" comment . Judging by the fall shot you showed of Dani on ice , you both will have your bruises . Have a happy New Year , folks ! Be safe now , ya hear !

Super cool Nomad, sure don't see many. Thanks for the video. Happy New Year!

Take it easy buddy !! That looked like a hard fall !!

Love watching your videos like how you save those old rides

Parts are hard to get everywhere. I like both the wagons. You just need a 57 wagon and a big warehouse to keep all your toys in. The nomad sounds awesome. Nothing wrong with letting someone else paint it. Your skill set leans more toward welding and assembly. Nice work.

Looks even better in person 👊

Love that Nomad, I'd buy it from you but my wife would divorce me... Impressed at how you bounced up from that fall, I'd still be laying there, we don't bounce near as good when we get older, don't ask how I know. Lol.

I'm glad you're working on these two FINE tri-fives!!! My favorites!!!!! Danni, sorry you fell..REST UP!!!

After 30 years in Fairbanks Alaska, I don’t envy you that cold and snow. I got a little PTSD when you squeaked the snow. 😅

My legs still hurt after watching great video good see the nomad again

I sure would like to see this one complete .

Great to see Dan brushing the snow off the Nomad before its in the garage! Then scoops more snow off and throws it outside! Impressive.

Thank you for recognizing that the fans get invested in your projects too. After many hours of watching you win so many battles with that car we feel like part of the team. The big question from everyone was what color is going to be. We saw you improve your painting skills on the roadster. Then all our anticipation was dashed when you lost interest. I get it though. After a day of work to pay the bills when you start that second job that creates the bills you got to be motivated.

I just want to apologize for laughing very hard at the fall in the beginning of the video. I'm going to watch it again and probably laugh again.Sorry

Mr Canada Tri-five Guy. When anyone talks tri-five chevys they will mention D D Speed shop. You must be doing something right. Great video

Very happy to see the Nomad again. Thank you Dan for all you do and the content

What comes to mind watching your posts is Lynerd Skynerd and the three stooges. You all Are beautifull. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! HAPPY NEW YEAR....GODBBLESS

Dan please please please finish fall in love with it again and keep That beautiful car please

Dan that was hard to watch😢 glad everything held together 👍🏻 weather is not an obstacle for car guys . Been there still Doing it today in a rainy cold morning☃️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😤

Nice sounding small block! Glad you are back on that nomad!

Falls are not good as we all get older. Man or woman, we don't bounce like we used to. You two be safe

Dan these Nomads are bringing unbelievably money I love Nomads

I told you if you bring that car back to life you will be a legend, at least in my mind. 😀 Glad to see you working on it again😀

Ready to see some more work on the nomad! Sure hope you don’t sell that thing because you definitely saved it from being crushed or rotting into the ground.

Thank you for leaving the falling down part in.

It’s been two years and you did a hellva job with it..

Dan and Danny, I thoroughly love the debauchery

Dan I have to say I so love the nomad sounds amazing please finish it ....

Yet another great Video Dan! Those of us that live in the snowing part of the world can relate to your troubles during the winters. I can't tell you how many times I've thawed a car out the same way you did the nomad. Keep up the great content.

There is a dark green that came factory on 55 nomads that is really good,. Thanks for doing more nomad stuff...

For those who have not watched the Nomad resurrection up to this point. It's an awesome wagon

Nice to see you get back to the Nomad.

Kudo's for not cutting that fall scene. Looks like it hurt a bit, hope your ok.

Love the nomad. Sounds amazing. Can’t wait to see it finished. Nice spill you had there. 😂

Na you bought a gem, Dan you brought that baby back to life you did what most can't do, or wouldn't temp to do. Those are rear wagons. Once you get it together most are going to want it.

I give that graceful maneuver a solid 6/10, Dani's was an easy 9. Great seeing the Nomad back in the garage man, the amount of work you put into that thing in a relatively short period is nothing short of amazing.

Thank God you did not sell the Nomad that 🙏 Beautiful car

glad your haveing fun!

A little word of advice, collect the rock auto part numbers and head over to your favorite auto value/ piston ring. There is a chance they will change up to stocking part numbers. Nice to see you back on the nomad, even if its only for a few days. It does sound healthy though!

Keep up the great work. Nice job on getting the Nomad running again. Sweet.

Thank you for leaving the cable trip in there! I blurted out laughing. Been there myself more than a few times.

6:36 .. I liked the parts evaluation segment... I lmao when you got to the self adjuster.. 🤣 I was thinking the same thing.. just a little heat...on thos cold day...keep up the good work!

Good to see you back with repair content instead of the clown show. Cold AF here in Minney also.Get back on it now-fake spring this week.

love the nomad and i fell on the ice in tennessee before christmas and im in my 60s so im all banged up so tell danny i feel her pain

Dude I love watching your videos, you make it real. Keep doing what you're doing!!

I’m glad that you don’t play that hip hop crap. Your blues/ rock music is awesome!

You tripping over that cable just funny like Pudding’s fab shop falling out from the back of his truck ! Lmfho lol

Dan and Dani are absolute animals with consistent uploads. Just minty. Thanks guys for the content. Keep givin' er. I wish another certain frostback would upload as often!

This channel should have 5 times the followers

Haha thank you for leaving in the trip and fall 😅 I really needed a laugh at this moment. Glad you’re ok

Get Feeling Better Dani Poor Thing You Don't Need To Fall Down Just Relax Hope To See U On Live On Saturday

sorry Dan I laughed so hard when you tripped over the cable 😂Love your channel buddy

Hey Dan, Did you say that's a Nomad, or a Snowmad? Just glad to see you give her some love. Hope to see you finish. Thanks and we'll see you next time.

Just starting my 2 dr wagon ! Keep up my Insperation Dan have to watch again for imfo

Damn Dan, @19:07 and moments before when Dani fell looks like it hurt. For real. I remember slipping on ice and getting the wind knocked out of me. Older people are less fortunate from such a fall. Keep up with the great content that is "minty and sweet".👌, haha Zip Ties

Of all the tri 5's on last years hot rod tour -dont remember seeing any nomads--Maybe you finish yours in time for next years tour-we would all love to see that!!!

I nearly spit out my drink at "there ain't much star left in that wheel" LOL Years from now Dan will be telling the younger ones about his car adventures, but he'll be giving them a link to the 30 year old RU-vid video too to prove it.

I love nomads, I had a 55 back when I was 16, it was in bad condition, although now as bad as yours, but at least you saved it from the crusher

Hi Dan, the kit u want for the 67 Camaro rear is Carlson H2319

Nomad and wagon sounds good. Hope you and Dani or okay from your falls.

Reminds me of the old days in Michigan 1960s workintg on my cars in the snow......Burr Great cars good video enjoyed

Cool more work on the Nomad 😀👍👍👍👍🏽🤙🤙 happy New year to you and your family 🍻🎈🎊

The chop of that SBC! A symphony if ever there was one.

Have a great New Year buddy!

I’d say peg will help you out with the body work for sure. Seen him do a little and it turned out great

A wonderful wagon build. Thanks for sharing.

All your winter videos and I still can’t imagine those cold temperatures in Canada

Only thing I know for sure is you took that fall better than I would have hope y’all are well

I think somebody makes an offset axle bearing so you can install it past the worn spot on the axle. I think they are called axle savers. I put some in a 1977 Chevy work truck C-10 with a straight 6 and 10 bolt rear end, I installed them in the early 1980s so I don't remember the name of the bearing company ...... They were a little more expensive than the standard bearing but l didn't have to buy 2 new axles !!!!!!! Love your show, you use a lot of sarcasm to lighten the mood when things don't go as planed... I am skilled in the use of sarcasm, just ask my ex wife, my 3 kids and 6 grand kids

Well brother it's another day in the life of DD speed shop, I find it wild how a part of me is jelly of your garages, and at the same time wishing you had a bit more help to make your life a bit easier. I am torn between pushing you into a snow bank or giving you a helping hand. Have a awesome new years with family and friends.

Keep working on this ! It will be sweet when done !

Looks chilly! And I’m in New Brunswick for a couple days

I remember when I was a "ute" working through the winter in the cold like you. Not so much these days.! You just have too much fun!

Darn old parts! Just when you think your ready to get to work! Rockauto? $9.00 plus $25 shipping? Actually you should reach out to them and get them to sponsor your channel! Hope Dani's slip and fall was not too bad! Yours at the start could have been worst too! Garage wench is a great idea I have seen you use many times! (I am thinking about getting one) Nomad sounds great! You need to get yourself some long exhaust hoses and a fan to suck out fumes then you could run your projects with the garage door closed! I hate Manitoba snow (Especially this year!) Now go check on Dani!
