My father told me when I was young you better learn how to be jack of all trades because you cannot afford to pay to have everything done. He was right. More than ever today!!

Dan: Been mixing automotive paint for over 30 ys (Dupont and PPG). My paint chips go back to the 1940's (have current formulas for most tri-five colors). I also have a paint camera and can scan a chip to generate a formula. Anything I can do give me a yell! We're here for you buddy!😁

I’m not a painter I sometimes wish I was however, I’m a great fan. I’ve always said: “If you cant afford to be a race car driver😎🕺🏻🤔👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕺🏻, be the best fan you can be) I believe in keeping it in the family whatever it was, racing, building, creating etc etc) MY DAD WAS A PASTOR SO HE WAS THE FIRST MAN OF GOD THAT CAME INTO MY LIFE AND I AM SO GRATEFUL I COULDN’T ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE !! IF MORE PEOPLE SAID: “THANK YOU JESUS” LESS WOULD HAVE TO SAY OMG 😳!! @ THE TRUTH 😉🤔☝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey Dan... short guy tip that helps tall guys reach the roof too. By an 8' long 2x10 and two short folding step ladders. Put the 2x10 between them, and you can walk the length of the roof with enough height to reach the center and not drag the hose or sleeves in the material. When you're done, stand the board against the wall, and fold the step ladders next to it. Minimal space taken up. That thing looks FREAKIN AMAZING getting to be one color.

It looks good 👍, I always like the primer going on . It will definitely show you were a little more care needs to before painting 🎨 Thanks Dan , have a great day👍👋

It's really starting to look like a bad ass NOMAD!

Lighting and sound quality is spot on Dan!

Don't know if you have changed your encoding software's settings but you only came third in the lip synch contest, audio about half a second out from video. Otherwise keep up with the sanding and get a good paint finish, it's all in the prep!

If you use guide coat when you send that hide build it'll make getting it flat super easy.

Great job spraying now when it comes to sanding that product is amazing. PLACES YOU DID NOT LIKE AFTER SANDING JUST GO BACK AND BLOW A LITTLE OVER IT JUST LIKE USING PUTTY, ONLY BETTER ON BLOCK SANDING IT STAYS LEVEL AND DOES NOT DRY OUT AND SHRINK.

Leave it in primer and it will look 👍

It’s getting there

WOW, for a moment there the wet primer with the lights reflecting off of it looked really nice. It took on a silver look and I like silver. Great progress on the roof as well as the whole body.

Two projects at once and both inside!! Now you're just showing off!! Great work Dan!! Cheers!! 🤓

Dan the body sanding man! Keep pushing thru it! Looking great!

Progress

Really lookin’ good man!

what a great job. you should be proud. my favorite part of a build, that first time it's one color and the project just takes a big step forward. CAN NOT wait to see when it has the colors on it.

Been watching from the beginning of this build, when primer starts going on things start to show all the hard work u did and looking great man.

LOVE YOUR SHOW, ALL YOUR AMBITION AND HARD WORK PROVE TO VIEWERS YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO..

Dan, you are an inspiration. The nomad will live on.

Dan big congratulations on your success, your channel has really come a long way since I started watching. New garage is really set up nice and thumbs up to Muher for suggesting to wear a microphone, Nomad is really looking great. Great job

The roof looks amazing wow what a transformation 👏 👍

The car is looking good. The new garage looks great.

I’m so impressed Great Dan

Primer is my favorite stage, she's lookin' AMAZING.

Speckle the grey with black ⚫

Looking great! Step by step she'll start looking better and better!

Hey Dan, I think it look damn good. It looked real good when it was wet. Still can't get over how it looked when you brought it into your garage to what it looks like now. Great job Dan. Take a break and put your brain to work again on something different. Take care and be safe.

Wow looks good Rusty Roof Gone Looks so much better

Dan it is just amazing of all the sheetmetal bits you have pieced together you now have a Nomad. Once the top coat is on we will see how well you really did. The brighter lighting and walls helps also. AL B in snow covered Ohio.

It's really coming along. A couple tips for you: Toss that little filter from inside your primer gun, get some of the cone shaped paint strainers and filter it when you pour from your mixing cup into the gun. Also, a roll of plastic masking film makes life easier when you want to spray part of the car. Reverse tape the edges, pull the sheet over the whole car, and trim off the area you want to paint. It's quick, cheap, and keeps the overspray off of everything you don't want painted.

Back in my day, we used to thin out lacquer primer putty with thinner until we could spray it through my primer gun. 48 hours later, blocking began. Eventually the car looked straight as new......ofetn even better.

Roof looks great. Nomad has come a long way. Good progress.

Really loving the videos! I look forward to seeing them. All your hard work it's starting to pay off big time!

Your new garage ROCKS!

She's Really Cleaning Up Nicely... Thanks for Sharing

Looking good Dan. Take your time , take breaks, It can get very tedious to get everything right. Nice work buddy.

It looks awesome Dan! Can't wait to see it finished but I love watching the progress. My vote white top yellow bottom. I had a 57 ht yellow with a black top it was awesome looking. Someday I say to myself I will have another. Thanks Dan for your videos.

With the hi build primer on the roof the Nomad is really looking like how will look with two tone when finished if you use your imagination. Great work Dan.

Well, well. Another Nimmo! I’m Stuart Nimmo from Paris, France 🇫🇷 A great fan of Dan and Dani and this Nomad resurrection.

Couple Quick tips from a painting pro. (You probably know them.) The last thing you do before spraying is tac rag the surface. (Lots of possible products) gets rid of the dust and helps the product stick. Painting is all about FLOW. Runs = too much flow...Move faster use less reducer, back up. Orange peel = too little flow...slow down, increase overlap, add more reducer, move a little closer. NICE work!

Also,static discharge is a great thing.there is a gun for it after tacing the car/panel.static pulls dust in

It’s shaping up nicely 👍

Primer makes you feel like the end is close. Get a feeling of a accomplishment. Like the light in the tunnel feeling. Wait is that the end or is a train coming. You'll get there Dan starting to see your vision.

Dan just for your consideration colors glacier blue and shoreline beige . In my humble opinion the best two tone combo ever original for 1955 chevy. A painter friend of mine brought it to my attention chevy used the blue later on and called it marina blue but he said they left out the slight lavender tint . Thanks for sharing your amazing talents.

As always awesome!! Man, Dan you always jump in with both feet! Totally cool to see your skills improve with every project!! Nice work!!

Loved it ! Not a bad roof at all ! The primer will tell you what you need to know . The lights on the paint tell us , "NICE" ! Looking better all the time ! A humble suggestion there , maestro . Whilst the windshield is out , & whilst you are already doing all of the other body work , perhaps you can remove what's left of that (vinyl covering on the dash?) & paint that up too . Your bro BK did his in like a satin finish black , low reflection , beautiful finish . Put all of the chrome stuff on & WOW . When the windshield is in , & you're driving it , that satisfied smile will stay on your face ! No blindness , yay ! Keep given it , she's a Bute !

Looking good Dan sure glad you saved her 😄👍👍👍

Lookin’ mighty fine! It’s only a glimpse at what the final product will be like. Your hard work and diligence is paying off.

Love your videos. Great car (55 Nomad) to do the work on. Glad you are going for a daily driver, and not show car.

👍👍👍

That's awesome Dan! That is amazing what you've done with the 55 Nomad👍

Very nice job ! Getting better day by day!

It changed the look of the look of the car nice job

You should tell everyone how much the retail price is on all the consumables so that everyone can get the real cost of doing what you do.. not cheap. Keep up the good work.

IT looks awesome ,youve brought this car so far,Great job

I really like the Nova, it's what brought me here and I can't wait to see it done up right.

You gunna need a little trolley cart. Or a modified Safeway cart. Surprised you don't have a fan exhaust fan in the shop yet. I enjoy watching you channel

Looking good Dan 👍

I hate sanding as well. However, the light is at the end of the tunnel and from what i see you will have a fine ride. Especially from where you started from.

Great job!!!!

Dan, looking good! Keep up the good work!!

So sweet golden goodness in one place keep up the great shows

Wow this nomad is looking awesome each episode 👏 great job on the build.

It's great to see, greater care is taken in your body work..... In the recent Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale a very nice 72 Blazer sold for $200.000, no 55 Nomads were offered.... Keep up the good work :)

Wow what a difference primer can make ehhh !! it looks awesome Dan good job bud !!

Been catching up on your old builds. You do good work.

Awesome work Dan!

Can’t wait to see it finished.

The car is looking great. You're doing a good job. Keep up the good work.

The primered roof on your Nomad looks really good, and will look great when it’s block sanded out. Nice to see thar your taking time with the bodywork, as these Nomads have the potential to be pretty valuable.Again, looks good!

When I done my 72 nova I had never done body work before & had the body men & painters tell me how to do it & it took me 3 months of working the primer coats. I thought usinng rattle can black paint to dust it sounded crazy but once I stared sanding I realized it showed the low & high points of the metal surface & after sanding & 4 coats of primer it turned out smooth as glass !

Nice job Dan. Man after my own heart, I painted 2 cars in my garage. Found there was as much paint on the garage as on the cars 😬. It’s coming along fine. I enjoy watching another shade tree mechanic do it all, cradle to paint. Yeah! John

Looks Good! Years ago a Old Friend that had a Body Shop, he wasn't very tall. So he would let all the air out of the tires, that would lower the Car another 3/4 inches, witch helped when Spraying the Roof of a Car.

Coming along. I’m enjoying the progress on this one. (And the many many many hours you’ve put in)

It's looking good all the work is going to pay off.

Dan, that wagon looks good, it’s always nice to get some color on a project so you can reap some of your rewards!

Awesome Dan! Your doing great work so don’t sell yourself short. 👍😎🇨🇦

Nice you guys keep it up!

Dan!!! That roof turned out much better than I thought it would with that high build primer job you did 👍🏁

Good job. I think a little more surf music will help her wake up.

Wow roof looks great!

Say hello from Gordon in Flint mi area . Here your making it looking great under primer .

I Like all yer Vids Dan . Can’t Waite for the next one ! Great work . Tell Danni Hi from the Crazyman

We used something called sandy on a 59 corvette Non sanding primer ,we still wet sanded it & it filled the small scratches, it was a gloss black lacquer 8 thin coats of paints ,then we buffed it ,then clear coated it for a show car shine !! Good luck that's a beautiful car !!!

Coming along 👌

Hey Dan, digg'n the new garage, the roof looks 100% better

Liking the nomad! Wish my back would let me work like I used to.

A couple of milk crates and 2X4's make doing the roof so much easier, if you don't fall off.

Looking good Dan 👍 that high build primer is good stuff. Keep jamming and see you on the next one. ✌️😎👍

You are doing a awesome job what a Hot Rod who couldn't love your videos 😎😎😎😎👍

That looks great!

That will be The best looking one in manitoba, good job man

Your a lucky man having all those great hot rods

Always used PPG K36, definitely any quality high build primer works wonders.
