Changing How I Build Cars

I've built so many cars over the years, and there is a difference in maybe not how I build the cars, but how I approach the build. Lets dig into it!

Came Home to A Yard Full of Broken Hot Rods

We rolled back into town after a great road trip, only to find out every single one of our cars had given up on us. The Nova, The Ford Truck, Dannie's 57- all broke in one way or another.

When the Love of Cars Is All That Keeps You Going - Speedway Joe Tells us How It Is!

Every build has that moment when the excitement fades and the hard work feels endless. Speedway Joe knows a thing or two about making it happen for the build. He shares his deep love for building and his journey working at ‪Speedway Motors‬ and how that connection fuels his passion for all things hot rods.

The Dangers Of Skipping A Nut And Bolt Check Before Driving THOUSANDS of Miles!

We’re getting our hot rod road-ready for a big trip down to Lincoln, Nebraska! In this episode, Dan and Dannie share the behind-the-scenes chaos of prepping the car, talk about what we’re most excited to see on the road, and highlight our must-visit stop — the Museum of American Speed. Plus, we finally crack the case of why the Chevy II was leaking transmission fluid (spoiler: it wasn’t what we expected). Whether you’re into road trips, hot rod history, or just love a little garage troubleshooting, this one’s packed with stories, laughs, and greasy hands.

How Do You Define A Hot Rod?

In this episode of Under the Lift, Dan and Dannie dig into the age-old debate: what actually makes a hot rod a hot rod? We talk about spending your money where it really counts, building the car the way you want—not what anyone else says is “right”—and why the best finishing touch is taking it on the road. From shakedown miles to cross-country cruises, every road trip is the ultimate test drive to shake out the bugs and bond with your build. Whether you’re wrenching on a budget or going all-in, this episode is about finding your own path in hot rodding and hitting the highway with confidence.

I've Never Been More Mad At A Car In My Life!

The Only cure for the anger Dan is feeling in the garage today is GIANT Mozza Sticks. Plus we sold the Nova to the PERFECT new owner! Here's what we've been up to in the shop!

Auction Dreams Crushed… We are Stuck With What We Got!

The auction didn’t go our way this time, so instead of bringing home a new project, we put our focus back into fine-tuning the Chevy Gasser. From chasing down the little details that make a big difference, to navigating the usual Marketplace tire-kickers, we share what it’s really like keeping these old cars on the road. Plus, some thoughts on the Calgary hot rod scene and why it might not be the right hot rod scene for us.

Wrench Less, Live More: Finding Balance in the Garage

This week we’re slowing down just enough to ask the big questions—like what’s the point of wrenching if you never stop to actually live a little? We dive into motorcycle safety (because thrills are only fun if you survive them), why it’s okay to step back from the grind and just enjoy life, and how our new garage stacks up against the old one. Spoiler: the memories are as good as the machines.

Don’t Be That Guy – The Lowdown on Car Scams & Shady Buyers

In this episode, we break down the surprising differences between building a Nova and a Camaro (even when the work’s almost identical), what it really takes to be a true car builder, and the shady side of the hobby—like the guys who lowball and scam people, even sweet old ladies, out of their classic cars. Buckle up, because we’ve got opinions.

Deepfake Builds and Digital Grease—Are We Doomed?

Is AI going to take over automotive content? We talk real vs. robotic wrenching, recap Deuce Days (including that rear-end surprise), and share how watching our neighbor roast tires reminded us why we still do this—one rough project at a time.
