Gasser's Are Fun Right? Driving from Canada to Mississippi-Problem, After Problem. 

Danny he is a very lucky man to have an assistant that listens so well.

The difference between Roadkill and DD--deep pockets, support staff and corprate donations... You my friend are the guy who brings a knife to the gunfight! Keep stabbing!!!😎

That radiator is awesome. Gonna hafta remember that one.

The Nova turned out great Dan. Don’t sweat the small stuff, just enjoy your trip and do more videos so we can enjoy your fun! -Dan

Hello Danny I enjoy watching your channel immensely. I'm amazed at your mechanical skills.For the little Nova with the built 327 you may be asking too much how it to perform on the street.With a tunnel ram,high duration can and high gears its going to take much to get it going.The tunnel ram doesn't come on much till after 3500 rpm as well as your cam.A good alternative would be to install a GM 700 r4 transmission transmission

Safe travels Dan. She'll run like a well oiled machine I'm sure. Great build and great looking ride.

Man that's the fanciest radiator I've ever seen 👍looks great Dan . Hope you all have a safe trip in the states 😄

It seems like Dani is an amazing helper. She follows instructions really well. You are a lucky man there Dan.

Dan may I suggest buying a Harbor Freight transmission jack? I have one that operates like a scissor lift and uses a half inch drive ratchet or impact to raise and lower. I have a 8.75 rearend in our 1969 Dodge Charger and I have changed the center section a few times using it. Way easier than using a floor jack and you can do it all by yourself. Just trying to help and save you some hassle while it is in the car.

Hey Dan, hope the trip goes smoothly. I recon a 3.50:1 ratio would be a good compromise on long trips, but a 4.71:1 or 4:86:1 would provide wild acceleration & a good hook-up. Cheers. Leigh.

Dan, never think you need to offer any apologies for mistakes. You already have that disclaimer at the start of every video. "Dan here...DD Speed Shop" Now any reasonably intelligent person understands that Tom Foolery is about to occur, mistakes will happen and progress will be made....Sort of. We got your back buddy!

Hi Dan how are you doing Gary here. They make a L. E. D light Bar. That would be great for the front of your cars you will be super happy with them & fairly cheap! Keep up The Good Work Young Blood! 👍💯

Going good Dan hopefully you will be trouble free the whole trip congrats on a job well done

I had an AC Delco alternator fail on me earlier this year. It had just over 100 miles on it, bearings started making racket and it stopped charging. AC Delco used to mean something.

Gotta say Dani was 100% on the diff Re and Re. I don't see how that could have gone smoother... As for the alt, I feel your pain. Every road trip problem I've had seems to include alternator issues. I also carry a spare as a matter of course, and it has saved me more than once. Have a safe trip!!

The worst part of driving at night is the people with bright ass headlights doesn't matter how good yours are when you're blinded from others... safe travels feller

The gaslight job about the radiator not fitting was “perrrrrrfect”.

My son lives in central Mississippi he was prepping his 54 ford today for cruising the coast..He is only driving about 4 hours . But he has spare parts ..JUST IN CASE..I hope you have a good trip..Best Regards

Shoutout to speedway and corvette John for helpin a guy out. Look like great products. Have a great time and good luck!

I never had a problem with air shocks, I had them on my first car. Granted I was 14, with a 64 ford galaxy, loved that car. Passed everything but a gas station.

When you use one airline for your airshocks, when you have pressure on one side (corners) the pressured shock will push it's air into the other one. 2 lines eliminate that. Also, the older you get, the more noises you will make...😂

"Get the proper stuff and it just works" ......Truer words were never spoken. When larger spacers are needed 1/4 or 3/8 steel pipe or copper nipples cut to size with a flat washer are just the ticket. Might be a good idea to remove the two block plugs to get all the rust and junk out of the block before your trip. Have a safe trip.

Looks awesome Brother Man. Praying 🙏 for safe travels. God Speed and don’t forget to have FUN. TRULY AWESOME BUILD and Thank you for bringing us along on the journey.

You'll be ready for the South with that Georgia squat.

Welcome to the world of Hot Rodding that you 've been to numerous times . Have a SAFE trip and be CAREFUL . If a cop pulls you over for your headlights PLAY DUMB and swear you had a shop adjust them for you . Enjoy CRUISING THE COAST , damn it's so much fun . Turn both fans on high when you take off and those suckers will act like props on a C-130 and you'll be pulling wheelies .

Looking forward to hitting the road myself. I just got it off jack stands. Putting my tool kit together, extra parts and fluids, going to do a shake down run this weekend.

Hey Dan great work on the gasser have a safe trip keep us posted if possible thanks again for all the videos

I had a built 700r4 with 4:11s in the rear in my 35 Chevy, it was a great combination, the overdrive was perfect for the freeway. If you can squeeze one of those in, it's a good option.

3.00 and 4.56 could be a different posi/carrier? To correct gear spacing. Hmmm Convertor I'd think anything over 3500 will be an interesting drive on the street, but great at the track. They generate a TON of trans heat in traffic too. Ahhhh, memories of my 69 Chevelle. Rad set up is dialed! Gonna be a fun drive!

That’s terrible I hate when brand new parts fail seems to happen more and more these days though hope the trip goes well Dan

Dan, good luck and safe travels, and if you're stopping in Memphis and you're bored or hungry, you should let me know! Got tools and parts too.

The quality parts struggle is real man... Best of luck Dan!!

radiator was a good choice Dan your going to get spoiled doing things right best of luck on your journey. uncle Tony just did a video on junk new parts unreliable rebuilt or new. WHATS GOING ON?

Them fog lights are killing me, killer gasser with flat bar led ugh... he can totally get some reto led that would fit the look

This car is a good example of why complaining about the base cars cost is pretty irrelevant. Once you've bolt on the straight axle kit, rear end, hot small block etc the grand or two people think you overpaid really pale in comparison.

Good 👍 luck have a safe and fun time .just in case I will light a candle for you and lovely wife Dani

Man you just passed me about 20 minutes ago on Highway 36 in Missouri, I was in the green semi truck that says Bowerman trucking, you was in front of me for a bit then took and exit. Safe travels to ya!

GOOD LUCK ON TRIP!

We back here in the swamps call em airplane gears. Don't under estimate em, they're known to get squarely in sharp bends.

I would pick up a extra airhose kit for the shocks those kind always have problems

Back in the sixties, we had to check headlight aiming as part of our state's mandatory safety inspection. We had a tool that attached to the headlights, with suction cups, and I think we adjusted them for one degree down and two degrees to the right. I often think about that when I'm staring into those irritating bright blue led headlights.

I’ve been building a 99 Sonoma for the last 6 months and before I started I told myself “ no deadline “ because you never know with part availability, couriers and work . And I’m no ace mechanic by any means so I’ve been taking my time . I feel it’s about 80% complete. I have the fuel system, cooling system and a little bit of wiring to do . Cheers Dan 🇨🇦

@Dan Those shocks are 90/10 70/30 and 50/50. Okay thanks for the clarification on the wheelwells...mini tubs may be in your future then. Once you go high stall you should add a 2 quart extra trans pan and a extra trans cooler plate style because they can take impact better. While its on my mind, a line -lock for racing. If you elevation is much higher than down south bring your jet kit. When your at Speedway get a PowerMaster Alt...they work great. Safe Travels!

SHAZBOTZ!!!Daggum alternator stranded you in the driveway.. It's a racecar, what did you expect?? 👀 👍

Thanks Dan for the awesome content!! Nothing like having a hard day at work and coming home and tune into almost an hour of DD Speed Shop!!! Ever passing through Regina...I`m an hour south..I`ll fly up with the 50 shortbox and meet up!

Looking good. That alternator failure is the sort of thing that spoils my motoring with my classic Mustang. You buy new parts and they just fail. My latest debacle is power steering pressure hoses. The last one lasted 3 days!!!

WTG Dan!!! Safe travels and best of luck in your continued adventures.

Great job on the gaster Dan and have a safe trip and be careful

You got your parts failure out of the way before you left now it's smoooth sailing have a great trip.

Thanks for the video DD Cool Shop!!!

AC DELCO I do not know what happened to their products, but I bought 3 sets of ignition points for my old tractor, and none of them functioned as they should so I put the old ones back in for now. Doesn't surprise me that your alternator gave out. I think they are just importing cheap Chinese junk.

Good luck Dan, try to send us videos as often as you can! I would love to go, but I am not able!

front shocks are valved 90-10 80-20 60-40 they recommend pumping them up and down to remove any air before adjusting them.

Safe travels you two. Nova Priced is awesome!! Cheers!! 😎

If the headlights are the 7 3/4” rounds you can get LED lights from a wrangler and fit them in the buckets. Amazon makes recessed buckets if needed

It's called MACHINE TOOL WIRE. Thick and bendy. Easy to strip. Good stuff!

Have a safe trip my friends 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

U make me aware of many new products i had no idea exsisted

Good stuff,good luck you done good with the 300 for mileage 430 is the one for that combo. I’ve run it for 30 years. Two transmissions and converters mine is 25/2800. Look forward to maybe seeing you on the road. Have fun and enjoy while your young.

Just heads up those air shock lines always break and leak take extra lines or replace with copper 😊😊

Just a few more diff nugget changes . And with them squats . She be running to work lol

Dan happy travels.Itsalways good to have spare parts hope you don’t have to use them. That is an interesting brand new Ac Delco alternator. Have a good trip

Dan, you need to weld a piece of pipe that fits in your floor jack to a piece of angle, then drill holes in the angle that match your driveshaft bolt holes in the yoke. Makes life a lot easier.

Dan, everything is a tight fit there.. but Man, it looks tight and sweet, I really think the impressive thing to me is how clean that whole car looks,sounds, and moves considering, the exterior is so patina and hot roddy. I am impressed!

Delta fans and Rads are the shit. I run them in every build, even my 700hp BBC Chevelle and it runs cool even in Texas 100 degree weather with AC running. Hey Dan, food for thought. Have you thought about using overload bags instead of air shocks? I use them in my drag and drive car but they do limit travel so I built brackets that bolt the whole bag assembly in making the install/removal, cake. Since you're not much for drags you could just build them permanent. Will work with just about every suspension type, and will keep the rear at ride height even heavily loaded down. Helps a lot when pulling a trailer as well. Its a little more fab but if you plan on running the car a bit its worth it IMO. Since you're planning on leaving it in the States over the winter and visiting it to work on it, you could make this an upgrade.

Great video Dude, but you know what would make it really awesome? Showing how you finally made the axles go in place. Some of the things you’re doing, I have never encountered so it would be cool to learn from somebody else’s experience; to actually see it go together. I don’t know how far south in MS you’re coming but if you get down to the coast area, I’ll be looking for you. Safe travels man! (Edit: I guess I missed where you mentioned coming to “Cruising the Coast” Sorry ‘bout that.)

Great video Dan and Dani!!

Have a great time ,be safe ok...keep us informed of your awesome trip

Have a safe trip.😊 As my friend would say drive fast and take a lot of chances!

you should drive all the way down to Summit Racing Store and just plop down the visa and cut out all that shipping

Thanks for swapping back to velocity stacks from the scoop. Much better

Wish you the best, love the car!

Good luck on the trip. Thanks for the video!

Happy Trails and safe travels Dan!

Nice job Dan! Dani's Chevy two turned out killer!

Good luck Dan!

Why not opt for a midrange gear like a 3:23? I've been a hot rod guy for over 40-years and midrange gears are my go-to for street machines. It's like a fortune teller with a smile... A happy Medium.🤪

Speedway has 2 tubes that go in the grommet and nice breather that go on the tubes with a hose clamp.

Omg! Danni and you, what a team. Most girls would be scared and worried to help.

Seems like every time you guys try to travel somewhere, something happens! Good thing you are a true hotrodder and have spare parts. Have fun guys!

Dan the only way to get rid of the bog is to run all 8 barrels opening up at the same time. I put a little screw and nut on the secondary's.

I just bought the 18" delta pag fan to help fight this California heat in my 68 Firebird

Well, lets hope all the new parts hold up, but im sure you will find help along the way if you need it. Looking forward to the updates.

Get a old large steering wheel and mount it to the top of the floor jack, makes it a little easier to install diffs and transmission

Good luck Dan, can’t wait for the video.

Yeah, 3500 would be good. You can adjust those slider bars to help it hook. Cal Tracs are more user friendly. That gear vendor will change that gear. Which is what makes it good to drive on the street with a tall gear. Jack.

Man 1700kms. That's a long haul in that car. My cousin and I drove his 70 BB Chevelle SS from Cape Breton to Alberta (almost to Alberta🤣) in 2001. It was actually a great trip,,more comfortable than the 80 grand prix we drove from there to Cape Breton. Unfortunately the 396 broke #3 intake valve spring, just outside North Battleford. We trailered it to Edmonton from there. Popped the head off and the "Block Shop" in Edmonton repaired it (seat,guide,valve,spring,retainor) $70. Out the door. Just a little scuff in the piston. Sanded it down and bobs your uncle. He's had that car since 1988 it's got a hopped up 454 now

Have a safe fun trip. D.D .

In Biloxi, you'll be glad you sprung for the bigger radiator and fans...The traffic is gonna be a bear...Hope to see you around!

Awesome job on getting the new upgrades added to the Nova PricesDD. Keep up the great work.

Hey dan I live in tupelo Mississippi. Hey Dan it want be long before you have a show on TV. I can see it happening for you keep up the good work bro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

😱🤪. Safe journeys is my friends. 🤪👏🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey Dan I sure hope today (Tueday) went well for you. That rear end change went very smooth, good job to both. Safe travels and take care😊

Youve got a helluva drive ahead of you. Hope all goes well and when Dani meets you in Georgia (?)she drives you around for a while.

My comments usually disappear. But here goes..All the best to you and Dani !.. Safe travels.. I'll bet after the first test pass, you'll be switching that rear gear out for something a little more competitive(for the track part of the journey).. Have lotsa fun you two..

Good luck on the trip! Have fun👍👍

Wow, you have my luck, lol. I don't think I've EVER saw one of those old school Delco alts lock up.

I had trouble with an ac delco alternator myself, it was on my 55 chevy and i was about to leave to Tennessee for a two week vacation, something told me to remove the battery cable even though i never had a drain on the battery. Open the hood at night and the power lug on the back of the alternator was glowing red, thank god i decided to remove the cable

Car likes me ....keeps whistling at me ! ; )*)

I bet your neighbors love you😂
