I love all the great sggestions in the comments to make this build better.....Dan will not do a single one of them.....lol

30 years from now, your kid will be digging those regulators out from under your deck lol

I didn't think you could get any cooler, then you mentioned JC Whitney!! I got my first catalog when I was about 10 years old (50 years ago)

Hi Dan; Take a piece of the carpet under the rear seat, and use double sided-tape to install the repair patch in the burned area. (Carpet installer's trick)

Chevy made 100 000 of these 2 door sedans... Only 100 006 are known to survive today! Another awesome machine taking shape boss... Can't wait to see how you decide to finish this one! Cheers from Alberta...

I cant wait for the video of the hood scoop flying off the car when the bondo lets go! 😅😊

So you already have the chrome hood bird, and now a fake TA hood scoop behind it? Maybe next you can bondo a couple of those small tomato paste cans on top of the front fenders and wire them to blink back at the driver when you put on the turn signals. It would be interesting to see how the inside of your house is decorated.

That dial-a -meter at 3:10...epic!

"I thought we were gonna go to the gym.." that was hilarious lol

I thought I had seen butchery before, but you're bondo-in bolts for your hood scoop is top dog! On the other hand, as Derek always, says, if it works, is it a dumb idea? I'm digging this build.

Personally I would shave all of the side trim off and leave the chevrolet badge and the Displacement badges on the fenders... AKA trim delete it all leave the window trims of course and hood trim... Make it a clean street look

R/f brake shoes are on backwards. Short shoe should be pointing to the front , long shoe point to the rear...but you will not likely care lol

I admire your dedication to click bait not everyone is willing to itch all night for clicks

Frigging love the yellow submarine!

THE PAINT!!! THE PAINT!!! He says. LMAO! 😂😂😂

Tapered roller bearings came in 1961. Use '61-'68 front hubs for the upgrade.

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness”!

Who cares about internet trolls!.... looks great! good job!

Dan gets stuff done, not too much couch time at his house

turn the scope towards the window and mount the gauges in it looks cool as all get out at night all lite up facing you while ur driving! kind of a cowl looking scoop when your done?! think about it throw it around in ur head dan ! 🤷‍♂️🤔🤗👍

Rear pop out windows like they have for VW bugs would be pretty cool.

I like the dirty banana...you're doing all the right stuff to it, perfect car for bangin' around anywhere. If it pisses someone off, you're nailin' it!

I love it. Don't paint it. So far, it might be my favorite.

Dan does his best to piss off Trans Am and Tri 5 guys! 👍👍🇨🇦

You know Dan bisquick works better to hold those bolts to the hood scoop

Great Job Dan!! Looks great and it will be strong, Dan the king of 2 door conversions!!

After you get it running right and the brakes working well you really need to paint the brown doors yellow to match… or spray the entire thing with some tractor paint. I mean come on...that's at least two videos right there!!!😀 I love the gasser look!

I think your a great craftsman. Quite an understanding. Lots of knowledge. Good job

You guys today amaze me. So many of you like the grunge look. And you call the rust and different colors "patina"! LOL I had many tri-fives in my day, but I'll tell you: I would not take that 56 if you gave it to me....if I had to drive it that way!! But, to each his own...it's the fad today. You certainly know what you are doing when converting the 4dr to 2dr! And you are quick. And you are absolutely right about using the 2dr doors. I have seen guys take the wing windows off and keep the front 4drs, but that just does not do the job, still looks funny. I put the large Mopar scoop on my favorite 57 (for tunnel ram), and also tried a Camero scoop for while. In my time, of course we raised up the back, and/or lowered the front. When I had tired springs on a tri-five, I just pulled off the spring perches, welded them back on the top of the rear axles, and mounted it under the springs. That usually placed the top of the tire not quite showing in the fender. I also tilted my original steel front cap, bumper and all. No cut fenders. I slotted the cap's frame mounts. So all I had to do to open the cap was pull the cap forward about 3 inches, then I could tilt the cap without it scraping against the front edges of the doors. It's normal open position was tilted about 45 degrees, but with a 30 second change, it would open to completely vertical. And two people could remove the front cap in about 2 minutes. I was always trying different intakes, headers, etc so the tilt cap really made that easier. Have you converted a 4dr tri-five wagon to a 2dr? Would like to see that. I had to sell my last '57, a 4dr wagon 4 years ago. Nice work and videos even if you don't like nice paint! :) I'm subscribed and watch all your videos. Sorry I can't donate money...I live (barely!) on a fixed income.

Dan is the king of the 200 yard (looks good) hot rod.❤

I gotta tell ya Dan my boy. When you’ve got that angle grinder in your hand, it’s like watching an artist with his paint brush. Dan you are the man!

I wish I had a reasonable source of these cars an parts. Nice 327 4speed 9 inch rear front disc breaks. With all the work myself. You give me inspiration

Hell Yah !! 110% better than when behind the Nomad.I like the scoop too.

The rotten nanna is shaping up Dan!!! Pure 😎!!!!

Dan, you're good enough, you're smart enough and gosh darn it people like you.

I WOULD LEAVE THE HOOD ALONE. THE ONLY HOOD SCOOP i woulld ever use, is a "COWL INDUCTION" (just my opinion) I think tri-5 chevys look best with there flat hood. I reallly like most everything you do. Its amazing, you have no fear just tearing into a car.....much respect.

everytime i see ya do a 2 door conversion i get the ambition to head out and work on my 56 wagon. Keep it up and i may get it moving by spring😂😂

"I hope Bad Chad is proud of something like this." Hahahahahaha!

Those extra springs are old school helper springs to get rid of the sag from worn out springs. A real Sears special

Answering you thumbnail question. YES!

Really enjoyed this video. You seem in best spirits and let your personality take the lead.

Its cool seeing how you put it all together!

IIRC, the T/A scoop was originally designed to face opening-forward until tests showed there was a high pressure area at the cowl and it was more effective 'reversed' on the Firebird. They did work until noise regs meant closing them off; the early ones had a vacuum-operated door. I think most of them could be opened up by taking off the block off plate, but there were a couple of designs over the run, so don't quote me.

Mad fab skills Awesome content Love all the hard work Great build series

I’m digging the way its looking. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see what is next.

Yes! You need to do a 6 Door Tri-Five Chevy! That would be Great!

Hood scoop looks great! Finish it with 4 or 5 holes. The stance is awesome!

The car is turning out amazing and ride height is awesome 🤩

AAHHH Yet another fine beast for the stable.. looks good Dan. Love it. Your vids are the best.

Hey Dan Great fun filled video. You seemed to be in your glory throughout this build😊 Take care

Your cars have the coolest look!just old school hot rods!Dan,u the man!

It's looking awesome indeed. Keep up the great work.

This was a great series, fix the motor, get some glass, fix the brakes, get some lights, finish the body work, and freakin drive it like ya stole it. can't wait for the next misfit adventure. Be well

Nick name for yellow 56 "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy"

Don't change now, keep it real. You're the man, Dan. That's why we watch.

Dan, you know I've been watching for a while. I really like what you've been doing. Really good work. I like to watch you do the hood scoop operations, as well...Ha!!!!!

Definitely diggin the hood scoop!! Love the car bro!!

Nice work, you got some skills.

Coming along nicely Dan

I’m enjoying your vids. I like how you just push ahead and don’t bog yourself down with all those pesky details. It’ll all come out in the end. Nice job.

Nice job! 56 looks Great.

Love watching thanks

The part of the video at the end looks awesome! You got the '48 Chevy in the background all low and sleek with a drag '56, you one lucky guy Dan!!!

I would open the scoop front and mount it so it forces air into the motor. Maybe ditch the hood ordament. That car is awesome.

Love the hood scoop Dan

The Rotten Banana is coming along. I love the gasser look! You really need to paint the brown doors yellow to match… maybe a soft tractor yellow like your convertible! 😊

Good job Dan great job

love using the scoop as a filler bowl

Fine Job Dan! You can name it " Top Banana " Regards from Ody Slim

Dan, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED 👍 😁 WITH YOUR WORK!!! You do these conversions like a real master. You used to fumble a little, not very organized, to complete these tasks. Now, look at you, all gangster mechanic doing the job all with one hand 👌 👍, the way a master would do it. I'm proud 🥲 that your learning and improving over time, way to go! Thanks for the video 📸.

Dan it looks great the stance and hood scoop is so cool just love it

Love your work brother! Keep it up! Moving is tough… trust me. My wife and I want to buy a house further out with some land, but like you guys said, “it’s not that easy to just pick up your life and go”. It’ll take time!

Thanks for sharing

Looking great Dan👍💯

The big three or four at that time and years, 56 was absolutely the best looking of all. Dodge, Ford and Chevy had hit my own thinking the home run of this design. Tube grill, nicest roll to the back fenders, windshields looked right. I was a strange one owning a fifty eight all white impala like the movie rig but way before the movie of course. Even the 348, with tri power on mine. I swapped it later for a sixty seven charger with a shit load of stuff done to it for racing. That sway bar system in back of the 58 came loose somehow and the guy wrecked bad and sued me which he won that law suit, so I sued him on the charger and won... the court system made a ton of money off of us both and we were pissed off at each other for years till a day came in the service and then after that, killer buddies for life. If your 56 were mine, I would put the pipe style bar across the front for a bumper.... a two or two and a half inch pipe so its functional but not rude. I would do a functioning hood scoop and scallop hood reliefs on the rest of it for a ton of air and keep it cold. I do believe the distributor is giving you issues with its running right.... those older ones have a lot of problems

Love the videos, I surprised my wife with a 55 Chevy 150 for her birthday at a car show. I did a video on it

I don’t know what is worse Fakey do hood scoops or holes in the hood for your beloved antiquated tunnel rams

First hood scoop you've done that I've liked. IMPO. Another winning conversion for d d speed shop!

Love the way it looks. I would never paint it.

You definitely under sale yourself. I think it awesome got just the right amount of GREASY but in a cool way.

I'm 77 and grew up in Santa Rosa...where cruising 4th in the 60's was mandatory... I made it a point to Not to cut on my 150 utility sedan...still no back seat..storage area for phone book delivery. All my magnesium wheels went to two brothers that have a drag strip in the N.E...there on their trifive gassers..they sent me pics and I lost them😢

Wow, JC Whitney! That brings back memories.

Just keep being you, for that is why I keep coming back to watch, because they are your cars after all.

Yoo-hoo.... It's DDs Speed Shop! 😁👍

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

I have a chunk of 1/2x2 aluminum bar that I put behind thin sheet metal before I weld it. For warpage prevention

crazy taxi game memories! sweet car!

You try so hard to get bad comments. I love it. I do wonder why you don't do a perfect car just cause I know you can.

Mowing in the dark. Gotta love it.

I’m digging the hood scoop Dan. Such another cool project. Keep on jamming on these cars you truly saving them. 👍😎✌️

Atta boy Dan. Respirator while cutting fibreglass. Love your builds. Not everything has to have 1000hp and a $20k paint job.

I really like the way you work I love the way your cars look my old hot rod is a 1960 Willy’s jeep wagon still running 226 straight six if I could have a tri five probably be 56

Love it Dan!

Dan,very characteristic; Indefinitely.

Your the Dan the trifive man so you need to do one every once and a while lol

You Done A Good Job Dan On Making It A Two Door Car, But I Really Wish You Would Have Left It As A Four Door, They Look Way Better Too Me. But Love What You Are Doing To It. Just My Opinion.

The seats just screams 1970's Tijuana upholstery shop!!!

Best 10 minute carpet job ever!

It’s a race car, so.. quick release. Uhh huh.. 🤣 Dani didn’t seem too convinced.

I’ve seen your implement paint jobs before, I think Cub Cadet yellow would really look good on this one!
