  • Big Day!
    Our 1971 Chevy Nova has her new heart bolted between the frame rails. Now all we gotta do is all the small stuff... Fuel system, linkage, cooling, ignition and setting the timing.
    This motor sounds absolutely amazing!

    Having Dani help out in the garage is excellent. She is doing a great job with tools, motors and being an extra pair of hands. Nice work, Dani. 71 Nova coming together. Cheers!! 😎

    Dan, Daniel my brother! ✋️ Please stop worrying about that old Camaro! The Danmaro got way better than it ever deserved, OK? It probably started life as a 6 cyl grocery getter. You did a hell of a good job and a lot of work saving it. Nobody likes Camaros more than me, but a man has to drive what he likes. You and Dani are the best! I'm laid up fighting cancer and your videos are really helping me get by. Thank you guys! 👍

    Dan, I also have a Camaro and do not drive it. Yes it is to small. My thing is that I rebuilt it bumper to bumper and love the looks or it. I park it in my driveway, and it is one of the first things I see when I leave the house every day. Every day dam that is a good looking car. The thing is that I have touched every nut, bolt, and washer on that car, and now it is a part of me. I look at it and can say I built that. I have now moved on to a 78 Malibu that had been sitting in a field since 98 with on engine or transmission.

    really looks a little out of place is the radiator because it's not nice and shiny anymore, but that's just
    my OCD kicking in...That looks like a really solid car and it does sound good.

    Alright, Dan, you fabricate brackets of any size and shape you need all the time. Make a bracket to lower that hoist with a 18 inch wide handle so she can effectively lower things slowly when needed. It'll make your life better, and we both know it wouldn't take you any time at all. A slice in a pipe, and a welded-on handle in the shape of a T. Piece of cake.
