Can we just take a minute to appreciate the fact that BOTH Nomads have batteries..... And Radiator caps 😲😲😲

Chevelles deserve Big Blocks and Manuals! Period!

Everythig is repairable with time and money and if its your favorite car its a labor of love

Have your engine guys build a mild 454 for you. It's pretty easy to make 450-500 HP with a very mild built 454. You can make more power and torque than the 350 that's in the Nova and still be a daily driver type of car. Paint it Massey-Fergusson Red like the '67 Roadster and add the black stripes. The '70 Chevelle's are my favorite muscle cars as well. I've own two '70 Chevelle's over the years.

That towtruck option has paid off nicely

You are a brave soul to bring this back from the dead. The sheer volume of work on a project like this says a lot. You have a correct mindset on the worst of a "project". If one thinks about a person's time spent working on a basket case it pencils out. Time used at home is as valuable you make it. The time spent at home is worth the same, whether you are working on a car or mowing the lawn. In the end when finished it will be worth quite a bit. My 72 Cutlass is the same platform as a Chevelle and is like driving a couch for comfort.

Thumbs up for Big block manual trans

I had a friend who bought a 1970 Chevelle L6 454 4 speed gold with black stripes right after they hit the market. That thing was wicked!

Keep the steelies! They're awesome. Oh, and "Sorry I have to move both my Nomads" Never gets old! 🙂

Mur's correct about the Steel wheels ? Put the Daisies on

That Chevelle was built about 5 miles from my house. There is a very good chance my dad had part in assembling that car in the factory. He worked in Oshawa GM from the late 50s until the late 80s.

The Monte Carlo shared a lot of parts with the Chevelle so keep your eye out for any of them being parted out in your area. You also have extra Camaro parts for trading stock! Personally I’m not a fan of hot rod satin black because it’s on everything and Chevy had some beautiful colors for the 70 model year.

Paint Code 63 = Desert Sand. Glad you picked up a Chevelle! Can't wait to see the progress.

Future Dan builds that car into an 8 second drag and drive Chevelle...love it!

The rear bumper, as well as the grille, are 1 year only. I, personally, would not change it to 71/72. It's a hallmark. Although it's not an SS, the round gauges, like in the same era Monte Carlo, are equally desirable. IMHO

I don’t know if that Ivy slowly taking over your garage is poison or not but I’m super allergic so I get itchy just looking at it. 🌱🍃 ☠️ I think the Chevelle will be a great starting point for you, we’ve seen you drag home way worse and make something out of it. Plus they sell pretty much everything for them even new steel bodies.

Dan, you need a 454 tag on the fender and a nice 454. Don't forget the posi. Love simply love the both of you.

Yes us 60+ yr old guys need to be catered to. Great job as usual on your content.

This car needs a 396, 427 or 454 variant. No exceptions dan!!!

One for the parts list. Something never before attempted, A seamless interior matching headliner. Just because.

Paint code 63 for 1970 is Desert Sand 😁🏁

You’re right, the gun metal daisies with bright rim look great

Thanks for the daily videos. Love the content

Certain years of certain cars are worth rebuilding in almost any condition, Chevelles, Chargers, etc and this one doesn't even seem that bad. Its not going to be numbers matching so might as well go for the big block manual with a 12 bolt posi. A 396 would go so well with this thing.

When its quiet at DD speed shop you can hear the chevys rusting in the US😂

Dan, I would like to thank you for the way you appreciate and respect Dani! I’ve seen so many men come unglued for no real reason at all, and you are a true gentleman even when you’re teasing. Kudos to You my man!

I come back every show just for Dani's sweetness and Dans 's humor.

My brother in law had a 70 ss sky blue with white super sport stripes. Looked really cool. Never seen one with that color combination before

Dan, Black with white stripes. See the movie “Dazed and Confused “. Many awesome cars and a Chevelle SS.

Make it a keeper, Dan! Chevelles are awesome. I like your idea about the 70 front grill /bumper and the 71 bumper in the rear with the double round taillights. DAN PLEASE PUT THE STRIPE KIT ON WHEN YOU FINISH!

That budget just went from 15k to high 20's :) I think the Nova's big block belongs in the Chevelle.

Going to be an interesting build. Lots of work but if anyone can do it Dan can.

Lots of work, for sure. You’re just the person to bring her back. It’ll be fun. Cheers!! 😎

You’re making me feel better for you buying the Chevelle, I just picked up a 71 Lemans I thought was rough, but your Chevelle is way rougher.

Found a reference online for the Code 63, they call the color "Desert Sand". WA4240. May not be the color you want to go with, but I did find the code.

Dazed and confused, one of my favorite movies. Thats the colors, but a satin black with flat white stripes.

There is a Chevelle running around where I live thats silver grey with black stripes. Sharp looking car it was built as a factory racer special ordered by the dealership with a 427/four speed. Absolutely nasty. Just a word of caution. I owned a Pontiac of the same year and what appears to be the same suspension and managed to snap the upper link on the rear suspension. You would not go wrong having a new one made up. Better safe than sorry.

The 1966 Impala came out with a Gold color on it. My younger cousin bought a Impala off an elderly women. It was stock never been wrecked or repainted clean clean until my younger cousin got a hold of it. He put chrome wheels and small tire's. He tried to make a low rider out of it. It did look pretty nice for a quick minute. He should have just left it alone, being a young teenager he wreck it totly destroyed the 1966 Impala. The 327 / 283 was still good in it don't know what ever happen to it. Wrecking yard might have ended up with it. It was a Stock Gold color that look pretty nice it had a light metallic in the paint.

I am so jealous of you Dan!! You have my dream car!! Paint it metallic gold with black stripes. I like the wheels you have, they’re close to the factory mags that came with them. A 71-72 back bumper! Dress it like an SS, emblems on the black grill! 350 4bbl, headers and transmission with the shift kit! Love to hear that 2nd gear bark!! You lucky dog!! When you’re finished and decide you don’t want it, I know a guy!

I agree with Mer! The tire and wheel set up on the nomad is terrible!

Chrome reverse wheels with "Baby Moons" on that blue nomad would be perfect "period correct"

Looking forward to this one. Future Dan has a shit ton of work to do.

Well you're going to have a lot of work with that Chevelle

Horse shoe shifter and center console....... oh yeah! And cowl hood for sure!

Nice 6.0 or 6.2 Ls in that Chevelle!! Super dependable cruiser.

Check out Riverside Gold Metallic, it came on the 1969 Corvette. I painted a late 80's Suburban for a guy that wanted to revamp it little, he mainly use it to put his boat to the lake and said his wife wouldn't ride in it because it was raggedy. It turned out really nice new trim all the bells and whistles to make it look nice. I rear Differential looks like a 10.5 it may be a Buick, Pontiac or Olds. frame you have.

This is going to be a once in a lifetime hotrod.

Thanks for sharing this video with us ,can't wait to see this build .

The Shifter in the 68 SS Automatic was called a "Slapstick"

It is pretty awesome that, at the present moment, you now own one each of the Chevrolet Muscle Car Trifecta! A Camaro, a Nova and now the Chevelle! Very cool! I say do a BBC/4 spd SS clone with the Chevelle. I have always thought of a '70 Chevelle as a BBC street bruiser!

Looking good 🎉 I like the spun aluminum center line wheels on Chevelles. You don’t see them very often

First I prefer 69 Chevelles (4 headlights ), but thats just me! Big Block power! Have had 2 w/BB & 1 w/SB. When I make my parts lists I usually write it on the windsheid or backglass. Going to enjoy watching this build

Gold, black stripes and steel 5 spoke rally wheels like z28. Painted gold

Finally something Kool to bring back to life 🤘🏻🏁👍🏻💯

can't wait to see what you do with this gem Dan, it will be Awesome, let's go👉

Turbo LS with the gear vendor could be a lot of fun 😊, but any way you do it, I'll watch

Nice to find a Chevelle 300. I have a 64' 300 sport coupe that I absolutely love! Chevelle 300s are more rare now than ever before.

The blue Nomad looks great w nlack steelies and dog dish hubcaps. That was actually a style in the 1960s, many had narrow white walls too. The California boys would run white steelies, dog dishes and black wall tires, in the 60s.

That future Dan fella is gonna be one busy dude! 😂

Studio B, love it! 🤣

Good job Dan and Dannie!

There was actually a `Gold` called Autumn Gold available for the SS models !!! Danni said Gold with Black stripes; that would be Cool !!! For Power, I say a 350 stroked to 383 and turbo 350 and you will have 396 style TORQUE without the extra weight !!! And don`t forget the Cragar five spoke wheels !!! LOL Rave - On Dani and Dan !!!

Don’t forget snow plow attachment points on your shopping list.

Four door it!!! I cracked up when you said that thanks for the good laugh

Dan put a 3.55:1 or 3.73:1 since you have a gear-vendor. Use the Timken bearings in Axle. Since it’s a keeper.

Your neighbours must be very patient!

Hi guys I have a 63 Impala and it's saddle on Saddle in the color of the saddle is pretty damn nice and I've seen 63 split windows like that

55,56,57,67,68,69.70 maybe 71 on what it is!!! That the true Hot rob Bible!

A neighbor is fixin up a couple of Chevelles. He tears them down to the frame. He doesn't do sandblasting, painting and engine rebuilding, but he tears down the car and puts it back together, replacing body parts if needed. His dowe it in his driveway, and his work is far better than the flippers who sell rotten stuff.

Welcome to Project HellVelle! She is gunna be Hell to build, but awesome at the end. Good Luck.

Teal with black stripes. The color under the trunk lid.

That’s a nice lineup! Really diggin that chevelle, excited for this build!

I can stand at my kitchen door look over my fence and see the same chevelle " my neighbors "he striped it down to a rolling shell about 6 years ago and there it sits . Last time I looked at it Floorplan and everything still solid .

Love both of your energies. You are like the Energizer bunnies, just keep going and going. Nothing going to stop D&D.

Gold with Black would be the way to go!!!!!!!

Studio B !! Great name!!

Dan,Dani, I agree with Mur,Put the Daisies on the Blue Nomad 👍

Well dan it's your dream car but it sounds like Danni is claiming it as hers. I do love that she is as into cars as you. Just build a great driver that you both can enkoy for a long time to come.

Great job editing Danielle!

Dani I am telling you we are connected telepathically the color you want is 1973-1974 corvette medium gold with black stripes my 70 SS that I sold (Dumb) was the most beautiful combination couldn’t drive at without tons of compliments!

When you build your Barndomium in your new 5 acre compound that won't be a problem anymore 😊

I love that Dani said: You mays well Round out My Fleet 👍🏼

You're getting really good with that tow truck. Maybe start doing some repo's, can't do it that fast with a trailer...lol

HIS AND HERS SHIFTERS ARE AMAZING.......

I don't care what anyone says, it's not a muscle car with a 307. Chevelles need big blocks in them.

Dan… the satin black you painted the Camaro with white SS stripes.💯😎

I actually think the Chevelle would look great with black steelies, chrome nuts, and white letters out. Just a cleaned up version of those rollers you had on it.

No matter what you do it will be cool when it’s done

Wow, that is getting expensive fast. You have a lot of options. You can sell the original panels to someone good at fixing them, you won’t get much for them but they are money and will have no problems fitting like you will run into for sure fitting all those re-pop parts. I usually like to keep the original panels and use re-pop metal to patch with. Those panels have value. The great thing by doing what you are doing or talking about doing is all new steel, that is cool, not going to rot out in your life time if you garage keep it and you keep it as a personal car.

Man Dan you been on 🔥this first have of the year…. I can’t wait to see the progress

The 70 Chevelle with a LS6 454 was the Baddest muscle car ever available with 450hp. Ultimate Hotrod! You have a 🪣 list car for sure. Looking forward to the rebuild and end result, don’t paint it satin black! Cranberry red with black stripes. Cowl Induction hood is what you want, it has the opening flap.

Some people call them airplane or staple shifters. Haven't heard horseshoe yet but this is DD speed shop. Lol

Dan that 10 bolt should be fine,VVG has plenty of videos of the Independence Chevelle proving that lol.I think it needs a big block ,a small block will look tiny in there also I agree with Murr Newmadd needs wheel change.

One of the cars I learned to drive in was a 72 Chevy Malibu, Root beer brown, black vinyl top, black interior, 350/ 350, column auto. Loved that car! Being in western PA. it rusted out and my dad sold it in 1986. I really like the turquoise color on the underside of the trunk lid.

I have the same issue. Wont be any traffic on the road all day. As soon you move a trailer or try and shuffle cars. Road becomes very busy. Need a step for Dani in the garage so can reach things easier.

Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all a Dan go rolling and driving again

Yes, Dani ! Gold on that car would be an awesome colour. Gets my vote.

Paint it red like your convertible with white stripes. !! 😍😍

What a good neighbor!😊

Hey Dan&Dannie Thanks for sharing the between cars videos, I can appreciate the builds even more. Take care of One Another 😊
