[@pureblood_ALPHAMALE]

What a great update video. You guys are really knocking it out. Working full time jobs, working on customers and your personal cars, making and editing YT videos for us and creating/selling merch you guys are a Power Couple! Love the energy,the vibe of your channel. Glad I'm apart of the Gnarly Speed Shop tribe!

[@donreinholz8121]

That fabricating sheet metal is a lot of work. Good job Danny! That car is going to be a ropper!

[@phillipcortel6330]

Back in the day, it was believed that the lug nuts would back off while going down the road road. Chrysler was the last ones to hold onto the left hand thread on the cars. Old habits die hard.

[@talltom1129]

And from WAY before NASCAR

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

No worries! You guys are doing plenty! Projects like that Charger take a long time, especially if you want to do it right. You are doing great! Well done!

[@jasonfalk7696]

Congrats on 50k subs. As far as left hand thread lug nuts, the thought, was that they would stay tight with the rotation of the wheels. Chrysler used them until the early 70's, Pontiac and Buick dumped them in '63. Some foreign cars ran them into the 80's. Also, the ring gear bolts in the 8 3/4 rear are left hand thread as well.

[@patrickfahring6086]

Danny thank you for not doing the sheet metal tear down in time lapse. Love the cars that you are preserving.

[@jessesager9460]

Appreciate y’all’s efforts of working full time jobs, and putting out good KZbin content! My new shirt arrived last week, and I like it! 🤘🏻

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Appreciate it!!

[@devinminar3089]

The reason for reverse threading on lug nuts is to prevent the lug nuts from coming loose while the vehicle is in motion. It counteracts the centrifugal force.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Using a zip disc ad a grinding disc. I like this guys style

[@jesusguzman5435]

Wow great footage and projects

[@knoxmotorsports]

Congratulations on 50 th subs

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you so much!!

[@thomastrout9997]

Three hours for that kind of fit? I'd say, trim well spent. You guys have some soooo far and it is very cool watching the fruits of your labors!

[@mr_mongo7228]

With all the projects you got going these days you will have content for a few years but it will give me plenty of content to enjoy watching!

[@maxmillion4216]

The blue on the Firebird is the same color I have on my car.....love that color.

[@justinhromek73]

Awesome vid. Love your content!

[@TheHord]

Happy to see the progress on the Charger, thanks for sharing guys! That's a lot of metal work, doing awesome Danny! Gives me motivation to start some clean up work on my project when it gets warmer here in Michigan.🍻 Customer car is looking amazing too, nice wheel/tire combo. I agree with Olivia, rather have a great running, solid car, than nice paint, for me I'd be too worried about it getting dinged, scratched up etc.

[@gasratzcustoms]

FULL SHOP! Lots of nice projects!

[@armondoborjas4362]

Congrats on 50 thousand viewers. That 69 FB looks like my old car yeah 🤷🏽‍♂️ So ur making a gnarly mopar 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎 Happy Thanksgiving

[@PeteBasel]

I'd really enjoy hearing specifics about brands and models for crank, cam, pistons, rods, EFI, etc. because I enjoy them, maybe in the engine build video. I've watched many of your vids but not sure if I saw the same for the Tempest engine, did I miss it? I'm really enjoying your journey, looks like you're having fun, that's what matters!

[@JA-sm9zf]

Charger! The most killer muscle car of all time! Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSaxon25]

Making progress!! Looking great! You gotta mark this NSFW when unboxing something like that 3 barrel 🤙🤙

[@garywilson12]

please dont worry about how much content you have time for, your both doing great work on the channel.

[@GodisgoodLeoIneke]

Thanks for the video 👍 love the charger❤✌️

[@ultra4suzukisamurai679]

Loving the charger progress.

[@haemhorrhoidian]

Great job Danny 🙂 the VGG deathwheel seems to be your thing fella, you did a great job with the press brake too!!

[@donsmith8614]

Derek from VGG just hosted Roadworthy Rescue Episode 3 that had a 66 Tempest same color as yours, you ought to check it out, love the Firebirds new paint job & wheels.

[@saublesurfer8197]

Product I use for rust is Rust Convertor Ultra. My 57 Fargo I had the panels glass blasted then I sprayed Rust Convertor with a reg paint gun gave them nice even protective coats. I'm happy with the product and its about half the price of Por15. Glad to see you're taking the extra steps. See if Por15 will supply free product for advertising,.or try Rust Convertor. The more content you put into filming the fewer cars you'll need storage room for lol.. You're being judged by viewers for quality and content yes? Take your time, you two have a lifetime together to do the cars.. Nice work on the Firebird.

[@elwoodsummersjr596]

wow , what a great video , you two should get together with flying sparks garage , two beautiful ladies and two great men that all love cars , what a great team you four would make ❤❤❤❤

[@edg.6163]

Congrats on the 50k, well done.

[@michaelknorr6825]

I've never seen reverse threads for lug nuts. That should be classified as a 4 BBL carb. Yes, the secondaries are joined but traditionally, it is a 4 BBL. The 400 in a lighter car could be fun. I have a 1968 gto, ho 400, m21 trans and an open 373 rear end.

[@justinmcsweeney9385]

The blue on the firebird is totally bitchin! Absolutely a beautiful color.

[@rodvaughan8628]

Nice work Danny.

[@bigbearvenom6145]

Soaped sos pads work fast and best for taking protective coat blueing off white raised letters, and stripped tires.

[@bigbearvenom6145]

Eastwood makes a paint that you can paint internal areas called weld through paint and its resistant to burn off when welding for scab patching.

[@terryeustice5399]

Thank you guys for your video. That Firebird looks nice. The Charger has quite a bit more. Was totally wrong on my guess of the Carburetor. Knew it was a Holly though. Never seen a 3 barrel. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving weekend! 🦃 💯👍👊

[@jacquelineg3987]

Awesome buildiness!!

[@frankiem749]

You can put trim/beauty rings on steelies too and even the cener caps from rally wheels. I just don't know if they have the PMD caps like the chevy/Corvette ones.

[@brianwood9687]

Reverse threads on lug nuts on driver's side,. Prevents nuts from backing off if they are not tight enough, through centrifugal force

[@danielboulanger5766]

Cool stuff ❤

[@bksalkrook9348]

i love the color of the firebird it looks really nice !! wait till the chargers done it not only going too look amazing its going too be worth a small fortune its worth your time and energy (my opinion)

[@leonardcarman6625]

Love love your show🎉😊💜💛

[@user-xi9nn8xx9k]

Cool video! The 3 barrel Holley with the gear drive secondaries is an old school mod. Motion Pro sold them but a few companies made them. Yours is an Elco (cast aluminum gears) Mr. Gasket also made them but had plastic gears. This "Kit" was PRE Double Pumpers. Once Holley made the twin accelerator pump model, these kits faded away. Not sure what year the first double pumper came out??? 1971-72?? What a Cool shop!!!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you for the great info!

[@499taco]

Mopar or Chrysler owned dana axle i think had something to do with the left hand thread.

[@rogerraff6823]

No replacement for displacement!

[@440Nichole7.2]

Love that charger ❤

[@tedzehnder961]

Looking at other cars of this make , vintage and condition and it`s outward appearance pointed to some cutting and welding and rust inhibiter on this car too.Might as well do the best you can without spending a thousand or more hours on it. Just so the frame rails on the car are strong enough for the extra HP, especially in the back

[@PaulRhodes420]

That car just says 😍mmm!

[@kimadams7632]

I love watching this charger come back to life

[@jrlittle2]

I'm new to the channel and I'm loving the 68 Charger project; though it has a 69 front end. Can't wait to see the progress. p.s. my first car was a 69 Charger so I'm fond of that generation of Mopar!!!

[@bigbearvenom6145]

Centrifugal forces has nothing to do with it on lug nuts as others are stating in here in comments ! The whole idea behind is that engineers believed that drive wheel on right hand side of car has a rotation direction in drive clockwise in all forward drive gears 99.9% of the time, and that the nuts are threaded on in same direction to the clockwise direction thinking they aid in keeping them tight, "in theory" and keeping them from backing off. Left side counterclockwise (left hand thread) because the wheel is spinning in the counterclockwise direction they put a left hand thread nut on it thus the counterclockwise but it has no bearing on lug nuts staying tight even GM did it early on, and they abandoned that theory through testing and education of the design engineers. Only time they use the theory and it does work is if you have a single shaft and something is slip fit or even an interference fit on a round shaft, with or without being keyed or pinned shafts. For instance harmonic balancers as an example engineers could choose to use an opposite rotational fastner as a fastner that would counteract torsional loosening, and vibrationtional loosening because as the shaft of a crankshaft wants to accelerate it wants to leave the harmonic balancer behind to rotate in opposite direction than the cranks rotation because of the mass of the balancer off center of crankshaft.

Some people have big money, and some people have big abilities, and if you use your big abilities you can end up with big money.

[@mikeperez507]

👋 great work 👍 I like watching your videos you make it look easy.. what I mean is you make it look like something I could do even though I never done that before 😊

[@edlinke2368]

that charger will be sweet when its done a big dollar car everyone love mopar and big motors

[@EnfieldJoe]

Trying to get info & price on Greased Lightning. Your recent video said it was For Sale, but no other info.

[@gilbertwashburn7095]

They did reverse lugs on Oldsmobile back in the day my neighbor was a GM engineer back then he told me that they did that because if the lugs became loose harmonically they could come off but if they were reversed rotation they wouldn't loosen when you're driving didn't make sense to me but that's what he told me have a great day thanks for another great video charges looking good thanks for the inspiration and just for fun check out the 56 Packard Patrician with less than 5,000 miles it's mind blowing on KZbinThe dash is just mind blowing

[@markymark6089]

Yayyy shop work And well don’t on the 50 k subs

[@biglakehotrods381]

You guys should put some chemical on that rust to treat it. I use Ospho and it works great. After about 24 hours you can prime that metal and be set. I’m sure there is other stuff.

[@jmendo2546]

8:44 Mopar Did Left hand Tread's on driverside for one reason NASCAR 100%. The lug nut's won't loosen and fall off if the are on counter rotation of momentum of wheel

[@user-zl7ni2co2v]

3m makes a air craft stripper wheel that works so much better on those rusted areas

[@jayceecombs6887]

I remember your pickup video of the charger. You seem to be doing excellent work! Work I can appreciate! Actually the Firebird looks a bit familar? My roommate & high school close friend had a 68' 400 convertible/blue... same time I had my 68 1/2 GTA Hydraulic 302 preliminary to the 69 Boss 302 Mach1/very rare! C6 trans, burgundy, white "C" stripe, leather, etc. Sorry... his Bird could not keep up.Thank you, J

[@keithbuck2424]

Great video

[@TravisCockerell]

- Glad to see you finally showing some actual work on a car. Keep that coming. You need to put the guard back on that grinder, it serves a purpose. And get a full face shield. They are called "death wheels" for a reason. And when working around rusty, jagged metal, a long sleeve shirt is a good idea.

[@weepnwillo]

Hi Guys! I just started watching the video where you are cutting into the old wheel well and have it removed. you guys seriously need to wear long sleeves and gloves and a face shield. it made me cringe when Liv put her exposed arm by the cut wheel well to remove the tire. old rusty sharp metal is something you dont want opening a gash in you skin.Safety, Safety Safety first!

[@justinmcsweeney9385]

I've never heard of poor 15, but if you're actually using P.O.R. 15 just know that it's an excellent product, however it does lack U.V. resistance/ protection

[@paulneron375]

Ahh...............it's called Acid Dipping. Well worth its weight for Mopars. The magic is, if it's done right, it provides clairvoyancy. The dipper has to have a 4or5 star review. Holding hands with rust sucks.

[@thomassvec3771]

Sure, simple, so the wheel does not come off while driving..,😮 better chance , since Early days😊

[@taurusmonkey8780]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@garymorgan2095]

That's a hard color to paint God it's beautiful 😢

[@billcobb9408]

Left side of the car left hand threads, right side of car right hand threads

[@richardmckaughan9701]

Where is Andrew, for Comic Relief?

[@calid6960]

The charger is going to be rad when you're finished with.

[@rickyestes7477]

Just wondering if Danny's dad did body work or messed with cars? He's learned body work and messing with cars from someone.

[@douglasbuckland8280]

I would gladly get a couple of shirts....if guys could just ship overseas.😢

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Unfortunately shipping is over $25 just to get a shirt shipped outside the US..

[@chidrole]

👍🇨🇦

[@rickeyracer44]

Sorry, I'm not into the Dodge. I would sure like to see more on that Firebird, or hopefully more on your Chevelle build. Guess I'll wait.

[@stevestudley5685]

Thank you.

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

You can build it to go 200mph, but I would rather it be beautiful, fun, and reliable. It would be great not to have to rebuild it all the time. Build whatever you like though.

[@paulkrueger1122]

not if you use 3 coats of clear coat

[@Josh-lq8bx]

A woman who works on Mopar is my kind of woman.

[@bigal7561]

Do disrespect but you are stunning and you are sitting on a car that reminds me of the 1969 charger I had with a 383 that was nothing but a beast. So, we have a stunning young lady on an iconic ride. Could there be a prettier picture?

[@lawrenceriffe3809]

I gottA 5.0 ho Lincoln 83 they look sweet hot Rodded 5.0 interested conetct me

[@oswaldocontreras1360]

A lot of work you are doing good, but safety is first you need to wear face shields along with safety glasses, Olivia you almost got hit with the flying outer wheel well, that's when when face Shields work also when he is grinding, from a Retired body and Fender man, have fun.

[@lawrenceriffe3809]

Money or keeper u decide or u suck

[@hildysworld]

The left side of the car has left handed threads because chrysler thought the lugs would never come loose over time because they were tightened the same direction they spin. It ends up it never made any difference.

[@hildysworld]

Get some POR-15 and brush it on all those surface rusted inner panels while you have the 1/4 panel off.
