How to Spend Your Money Wisely on your Hot Rod- don't do it like I did. 

Been watching your channel for about 4 years now and I think you’re one of the most honest dudes on RU-vid.

You're the busiest guy on RU-vid,you are a genuine car guy thank you for all you do...... Jim

Tell you what you are not missing anything here in the USA, really enjoy your channel, I watch yours more than anyone else's, wish you the best moving forward you two are down to earth. Wish more people were that way.😊

You can always open up a marijuana dispensory and call it DD's Weed shop !!! Just a thought !

I built a 40x40 20yrs ago and instantly ran out of room

Lol "don't call me when you're in Thunder Bay". I wish the US viewers (and folks from even farther) realized just how insane of a drive it is from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay. If the car makes it there, it's making it anywhere 🤣🏁

U make me feel right at home with my "messy" garage...

This series on the 68 camaro is a sort of break thru video. As you said , you're not a flipper. The video when you put the rear panel all together with the rear quarters was one of you best videos. Your perfectionism really came thru. The welding, alignment and clamps was a very entertaining video. You joke about being a hack you're not. A big shout out to Danielle. She does GREAT camera work! You guys are a great team!

There are so many unscrupulous people that tell you how good the car is and only made it look good but it’s junk! You are an honest person and that’s why I like your show!

You don't know how much I appreciate getting home from work and enjoying another episode of DD Speedshop. Thank both of you for just being you. 😊

Being out of town is great. As a guy caring for five acres it can be a bit of a job. Cutting five acres requires a fairly pricy mower and a few hours of your time each week. I’d honestly never go back to living in a Neighborhood after being outside of town. Best of luck you too.

Dan STOP worrying about what people say, Dale Earnhardt said if they cheering you they are watching you, if they are booing you they are still watching you. Lol love God almighty, love you gal, love your life, love your hot rods, and have fun. When I was 15 I had a 69 Camaro with a built 396 I beat the hell out of it, would drag race any thing that would pull up beside it. Man I loved that car (probably put twenty or thirty sets of tires on the back of) had every transmission behind that big block you could get. My hair half way down my back flying out the window loving every minute of it.

I enjoyed today's video. I do like how you remain true to what you do at DD Speed Shop!! Cheers!! 😎

I love your honesty. I totally agree with what you say. If I lived in the northern US I would be happy to purchase one of your cars. Keep up the great work and future builds.

The American dollar is taxed 300 times it's value in its lifetime.You're the only used car sales man I would buy from lol. Keep ON keeping on @ HONEST DAN'S PARK IT AND MARK IT USED HOT RODS!!

Alright, alright alright !!! Nice Shop Talk Dan !!! I wish You and Danni all the Best in the Future and now ....... 70 Chevelle Time !!! Yeah !!! Rave - On Danni and Dan !!!

That 67 Camaro playlist is an excellent playlist for a number of reasons including the clear documentation on the current condition of the car.

It seems to me that you would address everything that's right and wrong with every car you've had on the channel, anybody buying a car from you is getting what they paid for and then some. Keep up the great work and the awesome content ✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦

Absolutely Dan & Dani wished more of the world was like y'all and Honest when they sell something .... Also the messy Garage I feel your pain LOL

Enjoyed this episode ❤. “Sweeping the Shop with Dan” and his charming sidekick Dani. I am a 69 year old retiree, and planning well ahead for one’s later years has worked out for me and the wife. I like the way you are approaching this, and the practice of accumulating property has a huge payoff later.

REALLY good content. I'm on the back side of life, never lived in town, on a small farm, but getting to be a chore taking care of everything as I age. I guess the only constant in life really IS change!

Dan as someone who grew up around Brent’s. The commute sucks for work. You want the out of town living around the perimeter. There is some available that 30 min to down town. Buy the land you want. build the shop you want and a prefab or build on site home you like. You can generate income from RU-vid at each step.

When I was younger and had my first house in town it had a 2 car garage but it wasn’t long before I ran out of room, opportunity came along and we moved to the country with a big garage, only 15 to 20 minutes to town, best thing I ever did, never want to go back

One thing about DD speed shop ! You are honest and don’t hide anything from the people who watch your videos! I enjoy how you do things! Wish I had the money to buy the 47 Chevy and have it at Cruising the Coast ! That is a dang cool wicked cruiser!

You guys deserve everything that you want for as hard as you work

NO doubt, you don't want to go getting too happy with 55-64 Chevy diffs. Soon as you go beyond the torque of a hot 283, you're in the Twilight Zone. Anybody familiar with early Chevies knows about beating on them. Dan you're so upfront with people, can't imagine anyone doubting you. Love to buy one of yours! Primer is finer. Shiney means less speed parts. Best of luck with your move!

Selling cars are a trade off. You're selling a gold nugget, buyer is buying a turd. Somewhere in the middle is the sweet spot. It's called negotiations, You're being honest and fair. Let the haters hate, will be what it is.

You are buying the car but you are also really buying the seller. Dan and Danny are the best cars you can buy.

You do you . That’s why we watch you guys

Awesome content, I wish you both the best on the new property.

I think you'll love living out of town ..I did it 5 years ago ..don't regret it one bit..I can do whatever out here ....great video Dan and dani

Good luck on your new shop endeavor

Dan your channel gets me moving on my rusty car cheers.

You could always be Mortskes neighbor. Lol Love the videos guys

I'm looking forward to the Chevelle build!

Dan love the videos .And like that your dad is in some of the videos .Your doing the right thing keep on doing it!

Mechanical yes, Rust no. Make sure the buyer knows about all the rust issues. All else is or should be expected. Deep rust is not something the average dude can deal with.

Hey Dan&Dannie Really like your honesty Dan, you are both good people. Take care of One Another 😊

I was once told to figure out the size of the garage/shop you think you need, double it and it will still be too small. I found that to be somewhat true in my case. I have 2 30x40 shop and I have them full. Also, I am a city kid, but after moving to the "country" with the neighbors acres away and no hoa to worry about, I love it. Good luck on the next chapter.

❤ Sometimes people's experiences are very informative to those that have not yet experienced it. Great show 👍👍

Dan, I can't wait until you are able to have a shop with a 12 foot ceiling so you can have a real car lift. I got my first lift 30+ years ago. It felt like cheating when i first starting building cars on a lift. I have both a 2 post lift and a 4 post lift. Both are used to build cars. The 4 post is really great for setting up suspension and doing body panel work because the weight is on the wheels. And just running the car on to check something quickly. The 2 post works for most tasks, but takes longer to get the arms in proper place to do the pick( a little tippy without an engine--ask my how I know!) I love your honesty!

I think the work you are doing adds a LOT of value to the Camaros. (I watched the 67 and the 68 build) I consider myself a "hot rod guy" and I'm pretty good with wrenches, but I don't do body work. Getting all of those body panels whole and straight with decent gaps adds a ton of value in my mind. I'm very impressed when you can take a car like the black Nomad, which was a steaming POS when you got it, and turn it into a "nice car" is awesome. Keep up the good work! Indiana_Dan

Good talk Dan and Danni !

More power to you, the dogs will love the country and you need a bigger space.

Watching y'all is like watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory, you have seen it before but it is still entertaining. Keep up the good work 👍 Gary from central Florida 😎

I have 3.5 acres and we've been here over 3 years. I can tell you that the more land you have the more time and money it is to maintain. I think yhe sweet spot is in the 3-4 acre range. Also I have a 38' wide x 32' long triple garage with 10'x10' doors, a 4-post, and 12' ceilings. I'll never be able to go back to town life. Being able to have a couple bays together where you can do maintenance in one and a bigger project in the other is great. I have a tarp quonset for vehicle storage, so everything is under cover.

I watch several channels with guys doing what you do, Half Ass, Mortske, Sleeper dude, Vice grip, West Coast Custom, etc … and I think you are my favorite. Good job. I keep checking for new videos and watch yours (and Halfass) first. Good luck finding your country place. I’ve lived in both… as well as very large cities. They both have good and bad things but prefer the country with 4 or 5 acres.

That ol car looks good Dan

You did great on this one. Hope you make a little money on it, hope you get some land and hope you have your dream shop. You are getting closer every day.

Really like your channel bro! You’ve answered questions and put out some great content! I think you’ll make it any direction you wanna go! I bet it’s tough though! I like your small garage builds you’ve done like most of your followers. I think it helps people get out in the garage and work on there projects! I’ve always told people to keep there projects drivable and not to go far at once. Easy to loose motivation when you see it in a million pieces! Mines a 90 454ss that the paint is terrible but I’ve lowered it, exhaust, tires all from watching your channel, people love it everywhere we go and I don’t worry about where I park it. Keeps me motivated bro! Thanks for keeping me motivated!

New DD Speed Shop t-shirt I like mine with no shine

Dan if I was in Canada I'd have no problem buying a car from you.I feel like you put your heart into it and enjoy the cars your working on,not just doing it to make money off a video.

Awesome video Dan & Danielle! Dan I love watching your videos and appreciate your candor and honesty. I have said many times, I would buy any of the cars you build, because you care about what you do and you do it solid. In this world of shyster's you are a breath of fresh air. Please keep doing what you do and thinking the way you think.

Bigger the shop the more stuff you can have. Go dan, do it the way you want.

Can't believe you guys are still wearing long sleeve jackets it's been roasting in southern Illinois. D D Speed Shop my favorite speed shop channel

I live on 3 acres in NE Iowa and 4 years ago I built a 40x60 shop with 12 ft ceiling and I do have a 2 post lift. It is great

Your ethics are solid Dan. Keep on keepin' on.

We have the same tax issue in Ontario. You might want to look into registering your project cars when you get them as unfit. Then when you go to get them plated you can show how it was bought and you build it. That way you can show that tax was paid on the car and the parts you used to fix it.

Loved the car brother the nova I’ll like to find one the cobra is my dream car

That Firebird built into a Camaro sounds like a car on Maple Motors down in TN. He made it quite clear what it was. You do too. I'd buy a car from you because I've seen you wrench on them.

I bought a car off of a " Freind " later on I found out it was supposed to be Orange not Red even though it was registered as Red originally it was Orange so I checked under the carpet and it was all Red and a huge dent in the floor, and you could see the frame bent, cut it up and sold as scrap 😂 live and learn, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

IfI were in a position to buy a car I wouldn’t hesitate to buy anything you build. Knowing exactly how it was built is 90% of the battle. Of course, living in South Korea precludes buying a classic car. Thanks for sharing your and your car’s journey.

Honest car sale educate a rare thing to find. Glad your a genuine car couple and all your dreams work out.

Mur and your mom did a good job giving you a healthy dose of common sense.....

You are a straight up guy, Dan. You show warts & all. Kudo's. No matter how much space you have, your junk expands to fill it. I don't understand how anyone would be upset buying one of your cars. It's ALL on youtube. What it is is what it is, a used car.

Don't worry Dan, Its there adventure... I'm sure they are aware of what there buying but God on ya for caring

Keep it up guys,sounds like your going in the right direction. Love the channel and looking forward to the next one. From southern Indiana have a great day.

Dan I LMFAO at this vid. You are so right on the things you said & I wish you guys well on your Journey to bigger & better things. Dani will be a single Mom, WTF, KILLIN ME DAN, KILLIN ME. OH YES, No matter how big of a Garage you think you need GO BIGGER YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

You remind me of myself in the 60' putting hot rods together from parts and driving them. Had tri fives in the 80's up to the present. My 56 150 utility had a part In "Peggy Sue Got Married" and is in my garage now with a blown head gasket on the 69 L-78 I had in three other cars and drag raced at Sonoma Raceway for years...keep up the good work...! Even had a ponytail when in college and rode a 54 Harley Sportster flathead... Love seeing you get by with what you have!

Keep doin what you’re doin and we’ll keep watchin ❤️

Very good weird video. LOL. You are an honest person, trying to follow your dreams. No apology or explanation needed to any of us. Wish D and D the best.

Sincerely Dan best of luck to you and Danni for growing and getting bigger just don't try to keep up with the Joneses. Just pace yourself and while you are working for that RU-vid money 💰 and buying cars save as much of it as you possibly can because the future Dan is coming. And do not stick yourself in some horrible 30-year mortgage that you will find yourself still struggling to pay at 75 years old. Think for yourself and don't give a damn about the others. Just remember sometimes it's be better not bigger and do not bog yourself down with debt, that is a huge no no, that is if you like sleeping.

I agree with your attitude about car guy Karma - real car guys know each other and word gets around if someone does a dirty to another car guy.

Your doing a awesome job on your Hot rods. Keep up the great work.

hey you saved it an got it ready for the road again.good job dan.chevelle will be cool

Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all

Honest Dan's used car emporium, great video, every car guys dream is a shop with a place to sleep at night, unfortunately most spouses have a different idea, Danni is a keep.

Yall have our continued love and admiration. 😊

When will we see Mur again?

I’m the same way man I overthink absolutely everything!! I always worry when I’m selling something that I don’t wanna be that guy who has a post up saying it’s perfect driver and it won’t even run or it’s solid but the floor is gone so I nit pick my own things and talk myself out of what it’s actually worth

I believe there are 2 ways a sale can go. People that have problems after selling a vehicle either weren't up front and truthful 100% or they didn't ask enough questions of the buyer and sold it to the wrong person.

Love all your videos!! Cannot wait to see what y'all get. Would be so nice having a bigger shop. :)

Enjoy your working videos, hope you get back to them soon.

we need an " I'm the talent" tshirt

People don't listen. They hear what they want to hear. It's a project car

Wish you luck ! Living the dream !

Dan did you tell that tax assessor that it was a Cobra 4 door you cut down....

AGREE YOUR CHANNEL IS VERY HONEST!

You really need to move next to Uncle Tony.🤣🤣🤣

I love the comment response episodes

I have a 30X60 garage and its not big enough. go big as you can. you have many years of car fun ahead.

You’re taking cars that a lot of people would walk away from and getting them back on the road in a condition where the average guy can continue on without getting in trouble and ensuring the car is enjoyed you have the videos up and if you’re honest upfront you’ve done the best you can do I would be comfortable buying a car from you at any time

Another fine DD SpeedShop video! All you are saying makes sense to the logical people. I agree the PST thing is pure robbery. The lift, on marketplace for 16 is a deal. How can you do dirty deals when all your ? Workmanship is out there for everyone to see. Wins and fails. As an out of town lifer, with a 5 acre yard, you dont need anything bigger than 3 acres. Mowing alone can be overwhelming. 5 acres is 5 hours plus with trimming.

You both are great!

The 68 has a lot of potential it will sell no problem. Looking forward to the Chevelle project !

Best of luck to you too new adventure👍🏼

My own personal situation and opinion...I've lived in country now for roughly 10 years, 3 very small garages and roughly 20 cars on 2 1/2 acres. I'd like to do 50'x50' shop. Cut the amount of cars in half. As far as the shop..put a wall down the middle...half storage...half work space. At that size you could store 4 cars in one side and have lots of work space in other half for 2 cars and one heat half the building.

Big shop with a smaller framed shop inside. I can choose to heat and cool either as needed. Nice having the smaller area for cozy warm in the winter.

Uncle Tony garage RU-vid channel is a testament of dishonest car seller or flipper

Thanks for sharing this video with us
