Can't wait to see the 56 going down the road . I used to have a neighbor that worked on cars and only difference was was I ended up getting dirty every time I went over there
I made 2 flat plate brackets that I bolted to the radiator that allowed me to mount the radiator on the V-8 side , that moved it closer to the fan. It helped with cooling
Hey Danny Boy and fellow subscriber's! An easy way to mock up radiator hoses is to take a piece of choke stove heater pipe (The silver paper like tubing that runs from the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner), bend to your desired shape and run down to the auto parts store and match it up. Get in buddy-buddy with the counter guys there (bring them a coffee or a Coke--grease the wheels😉) and they'll probably let you dig thru the inventory! Glad to help rookie!😎
50 years ago i remember a green and yellow 56 chevy 2 dr post with front end jacked way up .. Rocky Stevens was the guys name ..thank you and all the others who post similar content .. i built cars for over 40 years but it never occurred to me to film anything or even take pictures .. iv`e had about a dozen pinto`s and other ford products with all kinds of V8 engines and pro street chassis ..still have the pinto in my profile picture ..it has a 4.3 chevy .. iv`e gotten about too old to start a new project but i would like to swap my automatic trans for a 5 speed .. make the little V6 a bit more fun ...
Nice job. I like the way it's sitting. Two tone black and white satin with the 210 trim would be killer. I got to tell you the lines from the master to the metering block really need to have a loop or coil in it for stress relief 👨🔧.
I love highboys! I started roding in the late 70’s, early 80’s and it was all the rage! Old school would be to put the blocks under the springs and go 2 inches higher! Lol, looks great nose high.
Just my opinion... nose up gasser style.. I’ve watched all your videos... great stuff ... my favorite is the 57’s.... same year I was born! Keep doin what your doin.... great stuff!
I would also like to say that I subscribe to several channels but probably don’t tune in to any of them as faithfully as yours. Literally always looking forward to seeing a new episode drop. The amount of work you get done in the time that you do it blows my mind. you’re a machine Dan! Keep up the good work bro!
I say raise the front end 2 or 3 inches with the cheap ball joint spacers, throw on a nice old school hood scoop (like the 55 has) and some old school ladder bars. And you are good to go. Gassers are popular as hell right now. It will definitely increase your resale value. Thanks for entertaining us
Call me crazy but a cowl induction hood, matt black paint job with red racing stripes front to back, aluminum slotted mag wheels and you got the vision right out of my brain when I see that car. No matter what you seem to always make a car look tough. :)
Heck yeah, the front up transfers the weight to rear , don't know what gear ratio in the rear end, but when those 2 4 barrels come in something going to go down the road good, hope it's a low gear , keep it going Man, nice.
Gassers were the E ticket rides of the 50s-70s. When you launched you never knew where it was going, at minimum you had to change your underwear. Hammer down and party on... Keep having fun.
Agree with the ladder bar idea......old school. And like many others, I love the stance as well. Still like the idea of a set of decent mufflers with electric cutouts. Like on the giveaway '57.
Great job Dan. You might want to bend a little Whooptidoo in the brake lines between your master cylinder and your distribution block to allow for some vibration since the master cylinder is on the firewall and the block is on the inner fender.
Glad to see are you young guys restoring all these old cars and hot roding them. I was working at a gas station when I was a kid from 1969 to 1972. At the time these cars weren’t that old.
Enjoy watching your videos, good to see young people keeping the hobby going. You are doing good work and you keep the project going. One thing you might want to think about is your fuel line is very close to your exhaust . The factory ran the fuel line inside the right frame on single exhaust cars . On dual exhaust cars the fuel line ran on outside of right frame rail.
I like cherry bombs but gotta have tailpipes as to help with settle down drone inside cab !! 👍 also I like a little wee bit lower than stock for suspension 👍.. but your doin a really nice neat tidy job on the old girl dan 👍👍
Liking it so far, nice job on the brake lines and exhaust. Let’s see how getting the fuel line and radiator hoses hooked up goes. It’s a DD Speed Shop win for sure.
Your inspiration continues beyond auto work - I just wrapped my first live on-line brdcst as a host for a friend's non-profit fundraiser (it was for Grace Animal Rehab. Center here in OK) !
The dual exhaust tri-fives ran the brake and fuel lines down the outside of the frame to get them away from the exhaust heat. On the single exhaust cars the lines were on the opposite side of the frame of the exhaust. On my 55, I still have the lines inside the frame. I am running headers and turbo muffs behind the 327. On occasion, I will get a bit of vapor lock.
Whatever you do to it will definitely look better than it did sitting out in the weeds just going to waste I give you credit for taking something that's not worth much and making it into something
I agree with a couple of the other comments about either using 3/8 round bar or 3/8 tube with a bender. I suspect you’ll weld it and blend it perfectly. I bet Brent would have some tips.
It's looking Great!!!....I'm ready to see it running & going down the road!!....Dan I did see the Headlight repair patch panels on Ebay for sale might check it out!....
"we're doing body work" said with what ever the opposite of enthusiasm is... I love the body work episodes and can wait to those knarly headlight buckets get an upgrade.
LOve this car. Hope you're going to do the Black Nasty look... Such a cool car. Watched that dude from Texas work on a 56 last night and such whining and wimpering "Oh I spent 100 dollars on parts [lmao]. I wish these guys would watch you and some of the other lads up Manitoba way work on these cars. Love the Tri-Five content Dan. Just great stuff!
I personally think it would look really bad ass lowered with a slight rake. Don’t get me wrong I love gassers but I’ve just noticed almost everybody that I know with a tri five chev goes gasser. It’s cool to see them with that lowered pissed off look. 😉
Great project. Since you're running a rear mounted electric fuel pump, I strongly recommend double clamping all metal to rubber fuel line connections. You don't say what the fuel pump delivery volume and pressure specs are. It looks stock generic aftermarket. It'll never supply enough fuel to feed the dual carbs you're running. Also add rubber to all fuel line mounting brackets. Vibration will damage the lines in no time. Original pump was mechanical and on the engine, no vibrations or fuel pressure in the main line, you've moved it to the rear where fuel is pressurized over the entire length.
Flat black, modest 50s old school pin stripping, nose high, red or green headlight covers. 👍 Oh I almost forgot, small aluminium fuel tank up front for racing fuel. ☠☠☠
Hi Dan.. give careful consideration to using the 6cyl radiator....at the risk of being repetitive ,, Siamese cylinder 400s love to overheat.. head gaskets are a weak point.. Car's coming along nicely.. great video on spring and frame mods..
Turning out really nice for the $ invested... Had my fair share of glasspacks! Once a set of 12" Cherry bombs on a Small block Ford. You could hear me coming from a mile or more away. Now yours with those 12" bullets and 3" pipe, hell, might as well just straight piped it! Its gonna be LOUD! Usually prefer the much longer glasspacks, makes for a more mellow rumble and not ear shattering when you feed it the onions. That's a cool light Mur got ya. I'm sure it puts out a lot of light to work with, but when filming with it, it shadows things really bad. Maybe a couple at opposing angles would help? Keep it up man, looking REAL good. (love the AR mags on the front)
This is REAL Hot Rodding ...the way it used to be .....Keep up the good work
One of the few guys on youtube that i look forward to watching, your videos could be twice as long and i would still watch it all.👍👌👌
how do you only have 53k subscribers? c'mon people, spread the word!!
A pair of old school ladder bars would be sick!
oh yea...totally. next owner, take note!
Can't wait to see the 56 going down the road . I used to have a neighbor that worked on cars and only difference was was I ended up getting dirty every time I went over there
I made 2 flat plate brackets that I bolted to the radiator that allowed me to mount the radiator on the V-8 side , that moved it closer to the fan. It helped with cooling
DAN pay attention to this !!!!!!!!

Wow!... She'll be rolling pretty soon. Thanks for Sharing... Dan

Good job, on the west coast, back in the day ! we put them up on their toes. Up in front, up in back !
I used 3/8 round rod for the outer edge and sheet metal for the rest , you can do it .lol
Looks awesome. Loving the gasser look. As always keep the wrenches on turnin and the tires on burnin.
Cherry bombs, we call them red devils back in NZ and yeah one of my favorites also loves the gasser look
Never be late for steak😁
I always like the old school and gasser look👍 gonna turn out sweeet!!
Nice job. I like the way it's sitting. Two tone black and white satin with the 210 trim would be killer. I got to tell you the lines from the master to the metering block really need to have a loop or coil in it for stress relief 👨🔧.
Needs Gray Spokes on all four corners.
Gerry days loves the gasser look. Reminds him of another gasser..lol. great job dan!
I love highboys! I started roding in the late 70’s, early 80’s and it was all the rage! Old school would be to put the blocks under the springs and go 2 inches higher! Lol, looks great nose high.
Great share thanks a friend from B.C Rob ✌😎
I have to compliment you, it's not easy for us old guys but you are freaken good with the hot rods...I get it, I'm the same but with trucks.
Just my opinion... nose up gasser style.. I’ve watched all your videos... great stuff ... my favorite is the 57’s.... same year I was born!
Keep doin what your doin.... great stuff!
I can’t believe your selling this. It’s going to be soooo freaking good!!
Yeah it really is. But I need a new shop haha
The stance is perfect!!!!!!.....keep doing what you do, we all appreciate you sharing your work and your love of old cars!!!..🤟
Thanks man!
Gasser look for sure!!
That stance is killer! The other night you were talking about flat white that might look totally badass! Keep wrenching Dude love the content!!
Keep the gasser look! Thanks for all the great video's!
I would also like to say that I subscribe to several channels but probably don’t tune in to any of them as faithfully as yours. Literally always looking forward to seeing a new episode drop. The amount of work you get done in the time that you do it blows my mind. you’re a machine Dan! Keep up the good work bro!
I have to work sat, but will watch after Bro!
Hell yeah
I love how sits don't touch it!!! coming along nicely.
gasser nice , hood scoop ...
I say raise the front end 2 or 3 inches with the cheap ball joint spacers, throw on a nice old school hood scoop (like the 55 has) and some old school ladder bars. And you are good to go. Gassers are popular as hell right now. It will definitely increase your resale value. Thanks for entertaining us
Yeah!! Love it 56 🇨🇦🇺🇸🖒🖒Great Vid as usual
The only people’s opinion that matters on how it sits is yours and the person who buys it. Good job man, looks killer
Call me crazy but a cowl induction hood, matt black paint job with red racing stripes front to back, aluminum slotted mag wheels and you got the vision right out of my brain when I see that car. No matter what you seem to always make a car look tough. :)
Nose high I think is badass.
She's gettin' closer to the Finish Line. Thanks for sharing your Garage Time with us.
Heck yeah, the front up transfers the weight to rear , don't know what gear ratio in the rear end, but when those 2 4 barrels come in something going to go down the road good, hope it's a low gear , keep it going Man, nice.
Totally dig the stance!!!
Gassers were the E ticket rides of the 50s-70s. When you launched you never knew where it was going, at minimum you had to change your underwear. Hammer down and party on... Keep having fun.
Hi Dan good to see you all again. Whoa only 3000 to go for the give away. Keep working. I had 66 Plymouth that was jacked up in the front. Love it.
Agree with the ladder bar idea......old school. And like many others, I love the stance as well. Still like the idea of a set of decent mufflers with electric cutouts. Like on the giveaway '57.
I like it when Use the fast forward montage It shows that one simple project involves many different aspect to get the job done at same time.
Great job Dan. You might want to bend a little Whooptidoo in the brake lines between your master cylinder and your distribution block to allow for some vibration since the master cylinder is on the firewall and the block is on the inner fender.
Love the Cherry bombs! Great sound and performance! Keep up the great work Dan!!
Glad to see are you young guys restoring all these old cars and hot roding them. I was working at a gas station when I was a kid from 1969 to 1972. At the time these cars weren’t that old.
How can you not love a nose high, tunnel ram tri5? Very cool!!!!
Agreed haha
PERFECT STANCE!!!! Your killn it
Enjoy watching your videos, good to see young people keeping the hobby going. You are doing good work and you keep the project going. One thing you might want to think about is your fuel line is very close to your exhaust . The factory ran the fuel line inside the right frame on single exhaust cars . On dual exhaust cars the fuel line ran on outside of right frame rail.
Looking awesome!! You know I’m diggin the nose high attitude!! Set of yellow slapper bars would set that off just right!! Great vid man, keep it up!!
I am liking the stance. You work fast!
I like cherry bombs but gotta have tailpipes as to help with settle down drone inside cab !! 👍 also I like a little wee bit lower than stock for suspension 👍.. but your doin a really nice neat tidy job on the old girl dan 👍👍
Love the gasser look!!🤘
She sits jiiist fine! Love it! Couldn’t believe you actually get tired lol... you get ridiculous amounts of work done. Good job!
Liking it so far, nice job on the brake lines and exhaust. Let’s see how getting the fuel line and radiator hoses hooked up goes. It’s a DD Speed Shop win for sure.
I got 7 - 2 odds that you'll keep it! Ha hey seriously just keep building it. No matter what remember, ya drug it in you'll drive it out!
Your inspiration continues beyond auto work - I just wrapped my first live on-line brdcst as a host for a friend's non-profit fundraiser (it was for Grace Animal Rehab. Center here in OK) !
Thats do awesome!
Dan dont YA just Love that High Speed flaring tool that thing saves tons of time, Looks Great Man
You gave that car new life cool

The stance is👍 The cherry bombs are 👌 The budget is still on track - good work man! 😎
Had a 56 210 in 1958 and we lowered the rear end not the front, you are right on keep up the good work.
Been away hunting for a week! Have too catch up on a few of your videos I missed! Thumbs up! Off to your next video!
The gasser look is totally boss on one of those Tri-5s! I can't see doing anything else with this but going gasser.
I agree with a couple of the other comments about either using 3/8 round bar or 3/8 tube with a bender. I suspect you’ll weld it and blend it perfectly. I bet Brent would have some tips.
You are doing a hell of a good job on the 56and...i hope to see it running soon good job on it
Old school Gasser look is always badass for tri-5's
It's looking Great!!!....I'm ready to see it running & going down the road!!....Dan I did see the Headlight repair patch panels on Ebay for sale might check it out!....
"we're doing body work" said with what ever the opposite of enthusiasm is... I love the body work episodes and can wait to those knarly headlight buckets get an upgrade.
LOve this car. Hope you're going to do the Black Nasty look... Such a cool car.

I like the gasser look like the front end up looks awesome
There is an NORS right side 56 Chevy headlight cap on eBay right now for $50 in Foxboro, Ont. Plus many others on eBay for $150-200.
I personally think it would look really bad ass lowered with a slight rake. Don’t get me wrong I love gassers but I’ve just noticed almost everybody that I know with a tri five chev goes gasser. It’s cool to see them with that lowered pissed off look. 😉
Dan, for the headlight cowls, tack weld wire hanger strips imbedded all around the opening then fiberglass over it. Finish with a thin coat of bondo.
...a house, a garage or a '55 Chevy hardtop... big decisions. LOL. Love your work Dan.
Its hard times right?
Great project. Since you're running a rear mounted electric fuel pump, I strongly recommend double clamping all metal to rubber fuel line connections. You don't say what the fuel pump delivery volume and pressure specs are. It looks stock generic aftermarket. It'll never supply enough fuel to feed the dual carbs you're running. Also add rubber to all fuel line mounting brackets. Vibration will damage the lines in no time. Original pump was mechanical and on the engine, no vibrations or fuel pressure in the main line, you've moved it to the rear where fuel is pressurized over the entire length.
I wonder how many guys was saying "just put the tall water pump on it"😁 nose high😁 Thanks for sharing Dan👍
Love cherry bombs. Once I put 2 on a Honda goldwing sounded great!!
Love the 60's sounding music!
Awesome gasser look! love it!
Great work . My vote on color is two tone , cream and copper { like a brown or orange }.
I'm not a big Gasser fan , but I really like what your doing with the 56 and your saving another car !
It’s coming along nicely Dan
Hey great build! I’ve seen that a Gates #20958 lower hose should work with your relocated radiator. Cheers!
Love the stance especially with no front bumper
Flat black, modest 50s old school pin stripping, nose high, red or green headlight covers. 👍
Oh I almost forgot, small aluminium fuel tank up front for racing fuel. ☠☠☠
I’d really like to see you repair those headlight buckets,nothing to lose and everything to gain with your skill
Qell stay tuned haha
Man your videos make me want to get out there and work on my tri fives
Love the channel guys Thanks for all of the inspiration
Coming together. Looking Good.
Love what you are doing and I learn a little bit every video I watch.
Like the stands on it.....looking good...👍
Looking good Dan love the stance she is going to be hard to sale. 😊
Love the Quinton Tarantino time lapse music
Hi Dan.. give careful consideration to using the 6cyl radiator....at the risk of being repetitive ,, Siamese cylinder 400s love to overheat.. head gaskets are a weak point..
Car's coming along nicely.. great video on spring and frame mods..
looks great! im in the middle of the bodywork on my 70 plymouth and i do not envy you at all.
Nice and neat job on the brake lines.
Looks good dude.. Your builds keep getting better and better. I look forward to seeing the 56 wagon !
Good job
