Being one of your dream rides, make this Chevelle your best build yet. It's got good bones.

My goodness! A quick 2 minutes of reading these comments convinced me of one thing. Don’t listen to a single person who says “you should”.

That is the first car I've seen from that era with no rust around the glass . Most are rusted out bad . I'm looking forward to this build . Dan you picked a great car car for a keeper . They drove and rode great and were not not bad in the HP department .

Looking pretty good. Lot less rust on it. Than anything you work that never stop you before. Keep up the great work.

I have a feeling this is going to turn out to be a special car. Dannie: your laugh is infectious. I was having a miserable day til I heard you. Thanks 🇨🇦

The Chevelle is off to a great start and you didn’t break the glass. Nice work. Cheers!! 😎

You messed up man! I got a few hundred bucks out of a set of that malibu trim like you destroyed. They dont reproduce it so the guys that want it will pay up for them.

Thanks for sharing this video with us, can't wait for this project to really get going

Those front wheels will always have value as long as there is a scrap metal market.

That trim would look good on chevelle when car is finished,to each is own. But why ruin it could've sold it as a package for $$$.

I am glad for you that the window frames were good that is actually mint because that can be a pain to fix. Maybe just cut the stuff off you need of the full floor and patch it in. Finally a car that you can fit in.

Finally....more sheetmetal work to watch 😁 I'm surprised you don't have a couple of fans to circulate air in both of the shops. You should get a heat gun for stuff like taking out glass, it's a bit safer.

Dan, Please get some ziplock bags to save your hardware as you take them off. Bag and tag is the key to simplify your reassembly.

Besides the movie vigilante.my friend had one we did a 400 small block out of chevy caprice swap. these were common in my youth came green or gold colored they were around every corner. and every one's mom had one with a straight 6 or 307.only when i got older i wanted one lol.ok.peace thanks for the show.

Wow, You guys are famous… You got a shout out from Bad Chad. Always nice to support fellow Canadians…

scott is doing a '59 impala-they used an a frame to hold the upper body.

I love Chevelles, this one might be worth doing a gloss paint job. 👍

That’s always a wonderful surprise when there is no rust under the trim, those fenders didn’t look that bad to me!

SHOP IS CLEAN!!!!!!!!

Alright, alright, alright !!! She`s a keeper !!! It`s solid in all the right places around the windows ect.; you can replace the rest !!! Biggish Block, wide ratio 4 speed, Champagne Gold with black stripes ..... well, you know the drill !!! Rave - On Danni and Dan !!!

Borrowed a rotisserie and put it on and make life a lot easier coming along nice Dan

I came to see a car build and heard a couple dad jokes. Nice car keep up the rescue of old cars for the youngsters. I still regret getting rid of my 1964 Impala on my first wife’s request i only kept her another 6 months after that move. Looking back i should have kept the car . It was an Arizona car with not much blue paint left but she drove like a dream!

I love when Dan says "It's just that easy"....Yeah, for Dan! Amazing how quick you burn through these hot rods with full sheet metal replacement. Very impressive.

Dude, somebody might need that piece of trim for their project. Don't ruin the trim

Can't Believe you destroyed that trim...lol!

Love these videos,and both of you! FYI trunk pan will not fit through trunk opening.I did a 70 10 years ago,had to cut the rear section out ,and buy a new one.The trunk floor spot welds to the rear tail panel.Its not quite as drop in as it looks..lol

I like Danielle’s jokes - the grass one put a smile on my face - mostly because she got so “tickled” by it 😊

As retired auto glass technician that worked on many muscle cars the glass gods were with you lol. The first thing we did with our cut out knife, blades was too take them to the glass grinder and grind them down thin and as sharp and pointed as possible. First time I’ve ever seen a torch used to cut out a back glass lol. glad to see it all is well with the Back glass! Only DD speed shop could get away with a turbo torch and a glass knife😂

Realy hoping you dont tire of this and build it to your full potential dude!!! take your time and please dont rip any more trim off espcialy the drip rail trims as there will be someone somewere in floods of tears knowing how hard trim parts can be to source and the upper drip rail trims look mint shinning with a "nice" paint job lol hint hint champagne gold with black stripes definitely sounds great! Great watch as always.. dani your laugh tickles me 😂 both of you stay safe and well realy look forward to the next part👍👌💯

I do trunk first with wheel houses , then quarters, screw everything together dont weld any thing till it is all lined up then outer rockers, brace across door opening and trianglelate across body, remove frame body only weighta 4 or 500 lbs . I use 2 2x4 on edge in rear wheel house and 2 2x4 on edge at front body mount . Cut out floor short of seams . Slide new floor under use cherry picker to lift up and fit cutting a little at a time. I do 66 and 67 cutlass on my 29th car doing it this way. This one i have is a vert so i will remove everything from the rear of door forward to slide floor in the then line back up . . Keep up the great videos

I bought a 71 Malibu or Chevelle in 91. It came with a 306 that was just sitting in loosely, but I paid 500 for it. The body was so nice, but didn't do anything with it. Now you may find one that's rusty and beat up for 8 to 10 grand. It's so crazy!!

Her laughing about the jokes is what's so funny. She's genuinely laughing and HARD. Good shit.

I just love this channel. Inspiration at its finest. Thanks for keepin me motivated D and D!!!

Hello Dan let's do your best work on this chevelle, these cars are getting hard to find, I would make this car one helll of a ride and drive it on weekends and keep for 20 30 years, by then it would be worth alot more, then you have extra dinner money to spend. Trying to find one of these in salt lake city is really getting hard, you got lucky, both of you have a great day, I will be watching😊😊😊

Hey Dan, your my hero buddy.All these floors n quarters,it's insane.Hard to find a body shop around here to do anything unless they are fixing a fender for an insurance company. RUST. forget it

Hey Dan .. this is the one to do a body off restoration .. make a lift to go up to the ceiling by using the roof .. brace the door pillars some .. and lift body with a hoist .. slide frame out and complete the frame .. sand blast it and detail it and build the brakes and all .. slide the new floor on top of frame and lower the body down after cutting the old floor out .. proceed to weld the new floor in ....the roof lift could be straps that fit through the roof and then hook to the hoist in the ceiling of your garage.. I have done this and it works great .. turns out to be a professional job you will be proud of ..

I’d drill out the spot welds on the quarters and do them proper. Once you do one like that you’ll see it’s a whole lot less body work which is something you said you hate.

Dani's jokes were brutal Bob Evans! But even better was Dan's reaction to them!

There is a good chance my dad had a part in building that car. He was working at the Oshawa General Motors plant where this car was born. Think Dan said the car was built in December of 1969. My dad worked there from 1959, the year he came here from England, until he passed away suddenly in 1988.

I worked in a Automotive Salvage yard for years pulling glass, a 3 - 4 foot length of piano wire and two pair of vicegrips worked every time.

You work hard.I hope you get your property and homestead of your dreams.Good luck D and D

DAN!!! I know you know what you are doing tho if you can just do the lower 12 inches of the quarter leave it all in ...that old yank steel is far better quality than the stuff you'll be putting in...The stamping is sharper and thicker metal by probably .3 of a mil. There is no need to go nearly as high as you are around the window etc..it's only crispy along the bottom, and the louvres next to the back light will be so much sharper on the original panel. You can stitch it along the belt line, and the rest of the quarter will be schweet. like you said the doors/trunk shut great. Leave as much of that stuff as poss. You know it will be easier. Great as usual...;D

Somewhere, someone could’ve possibly used those 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle trim pieces. Perhaps a momentary lapse of reason? Love you two! 😎

Damn ... the Trim Boss the Trim! My Aunt had her Malibu rebuilt about 8 years go or so. She had a hard time getting the trim for it that was damaged , found some somewhere in the States NOS ...it was a fortune . Likely wasn't that piece that Dan destroyed though haha...maybe.

OCD trigger! Put those bolts into bags with label!!!

Your definitely the man to take on this challenge and bring this old girl back!!! Let er rip Dan!!!! 👍😎

Had the champagne gold on my nova, black vinyl top, black interior. Liked it

Can't wait to watch this Chevelle being worked on.Do it at your own pace. Don't listen to the complainers!

People complain is because it's not old school. A 70's car requires old school everything. That includes, the stance, wheels, interior, engine and gauges.

Dan, throw the bolts around. I never wanna see any zip lock bags. Ruin the trim. Immediately, if you hate it! Put those front wheels on every car. Don’t run an air filter on anything. Never have a rad cap. Say no to a rotisserie when offered… lol I Love This! It makes the comment section much more fun for me 😂 Keep up the good work. 👌✅👍

Dan, Brian here. Chevelle back window pinch welds ALWAYS rust out. Butyl is the old school adhesive that they were OG glued in with. Cuts out easy. Urethane, like what is used now, does not. Urethane sucks.

Vise Grip, built a gold one with black stripes in his earlier videos. Looked just like the picture you showed. Beautiful car.

Dan and Dani we've already talked about this 1970 GTO orange! Black straps and black interior! Now that settled...

Between this Chevelle, Cold War Motors "Biscala" Summer Splice and Carter Automotive's Chicken Truck project the Canadian contingent is out there "getting it DONE"! 👌 Great episode and can't wait for the next one!!

Dan don’t go up any higher on the quarter. The c pillar is fine. Why do all the extra work. Weld the panel on right where you have just cut

I'm a tri five guy, but am enjoying the chevelle build.

Let the work begin. Really looking forward to this build Dan. Keep jamming on it. 👍😎✌️

Danielle Cracked me up with the Grass Joke! You ROCK girl!

When Danielle said she felt the gloves would catch on fire and Dan put the torch to it... I could only picture the glove in a ball of fire and a surprised look on Dan's face.😂

I like the idea of welding all the new floor together and bolting it to the cleaned up and painted frame. Then work your way up, wheel tubs and quarters.

Leave those two front rims out side the garage so they can disappear,an for God sakes don't look for them

If I was your neighbor I'd make a deal with you to buy all your cars so you could move sooner...

You Made My Eyes Hurt Using The Torch On The Rear Window 😬👍🤠

This Chevelle is gonna be epic Dan!

I've had a complete back bumper with lights in beautiful condition for a 72 chevelle...ive been saving it for years hoping to build on it to a complete car someday...but not likely going to happen.i have too many tri 5s to make room for a chevelle..if you we ever out east or had someone visiting pei I would send it out to you as a gift..id include a picture of it hanging in my garage if I could add a picture on here

I don't get why people complain about the wheels, it's a "roller", a "Roller", wait till the end, then complain, if there's a need to? ;-) Watching you deal with the windshield and back glass (they both look fine), my first thought is buy a couple blankets from a thrift store, wrap them up and store them somewhere out of the way.

Man a rotisserie if you have the option, would make it soo much easier for your patience and your back will thank you when you can flip it on its side to put the pan in. I just went through this with my 80 Trans Am. Great job and keep on keeping on!

Those FrontRunner you have on the front of the Chevelle would look great on Dani's gasser they'd look like Gasser Wheels...

Dani your jokes were funny and your laugh is great. Love the videos guys

Dan do not cut it in the door jam that way because you will be measuring your azz off because it’s so easy to end up with a rear body that isn’t square. It will look like a unibody car going down the road unless your measurements are perfectly dead on in length on each side. Inner and outer wheel houses are toast replace them and save yourself the trouble down the line. Really base model Malibu as it doesn’t even have green tinted glass. The piece you’re talking about for the back of the trunk is the tail panel that goes between the rear quarter panels.

Man with those wheels and hood it looks gorgeous already

american racing outlaw rims look like centerlines and some 15 x 15 x 29 mickeys on the back . 15 x 10 on the back 15 x 7 rims on the front

At least you don't have to worry about anyone stealing those wheels. : )

Dan mentioned Champagne gold in this video it alright but Corvette medium gold metallic is off the charts! Dani check this color out!

I think it’s time you bring up the topic of tractor paint again. Maybe Alice Chalmers Orange with black racing stripes for this car?

Just so you know, the front control arms interchange with F and X bodies, they're oriented backwards compared to A bodies tho

You saw how you cut the bottom piece they sell that half piece all the way to the door don’t go all the way to the door. Just cut it like you said and that’s the way I did it in my Chevelle. I never did the whole full quarter I did it one time but, not again when my second car so I think you should do that look into it

I had a 71 that was worse than that it turned out decent

Those full quarters go out to the edges so you can spot weld them at the pinchweld front and around the window and trunk opening

Roll the front door and quarter glass down so you don't ruin them 😢

Here we go again 👍👍

Dark blue 70 Chevelle with white stripes has to be one of the coolest Hot rods ever

smokey you got this i know sgt preston would be proud of you thank you so much.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

This gonna be a good candidate for shiny paint even if just single stage It is going be a nice series to watch DD for the win are you still doing the round tail lights ??

Good morning from Cape Cod 🌞 this should be a breeze compared to the 67 Camaro. Overall the Chevelle looks okay. You got this Dan👍✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦

Good job! I'm building a Chevelle as well. The '70 is my dream car too.and I used to own a '70 SS-454 Chevelle years ago. Kick myself every day for selling it. Keep up the good work. Can't believe people actually complain about your roller wheels. Pretty silly this early in your build. BTW: I kinda' miss your podcast's with Mur.

You don't realize that yet but that 300 trim is very rare and people will pay up for it oops you really ruined it just like my buddy walking past the 57 Chevy four-door hardtop as his hey man the trims are beautiful on this car I took it all off and bought it the junkyard owner sold it to me for $10 I got all the trim he's what would you want that for us from a four-door yeah I got 1600 bucks for that trim it went on a beautiful 57 4 door hardtop yeah they don't reproduce 4 door trim maybe you should properly remove the rest of the trim and sell it I like it way cooler than a super sport

Skinning the quarter the way you plan allows you to keep the factory numbers on the top of the quarters just before the trunk seal.

🇺🇸👍 You build how you like it, because you own it and will be driven it ! If you sell it the new will like it or they won’t buy it, any changes will be on them !

What people have to remember is they stopped making 70 Chevelles about 100 years ago so all of them are worth fixing.😊

Love it guys. You guys and Chad and Jolene rock

Dan please put those gm quarters on complete. I have done many in my autobody career. Please for the love of god do not hack those wuarters dont be a bad chad one hackers enough. Thanks for the video. Wizkey

It would look a lot better green with white stripes with black interior

Dan - I know you don't like the chrome beltline trim. But you never see them with that trim. Might reconsider keeping it.

Hey Dan&Dannie Great episode. Take care 😊

Hello DD SPEED SHOP! I still watch but haven't commented in a while. Dan, Evolve to a New Era. Rotisserie YES. Brace the SHIT OUT OF IT with the doors off and Drill out the Factory Plug Welds on Every Panel. Show us how to find spot welds and separate them, line up panels and weld them. This is a Dream Car and it's in much better shape than You or Us ever thought. Flip that thing over and WELD from the top! You won't regret it. Thank you. And my Shirts were delivered 3 days early. 👌 Hello, Danielle

Wow I don't like it so I'll destroy it so no one else can use it. What if that was the attitude of the people that gave you all that free trim for you tri-fives that you really appreciated. Kinda come across as an ass. Just some constructive criticism. Love your work thou.

Going to love this build!!!!

I've heard that if you buy the whole trunk floor it is easier if one quarter panel is out. The trunk opening is too narrow to get one in in one piece

This car is better than I thought 💭 I can totally see the potential and the future Dan Matt black paint job lol 😂
