Getting Worse Before It Gets Better - 1968 Dodge Charger Build

[@SKATETOSLAYER]

Stoked to hear that its going to be black! Best colour for these cars.

[@jamesbatey598]

I worked in a machine shop for years, never wore gloves or safety glasses till lately. The last couple years back when I first started, we had to pay for all that stuff if we wanted to use it. I’m so not used to wearing gloves and I fill more safe to fill what I’m working on

[@DanneyTanner]

Should were good leather gloves running the hand grinder with no shield.Ive lost a lot of meat off my hands neglecting to do so.😮😢

[@PeteBasel]

Danny makes the metal work look easy, I know that its not, and he is also fast. Nice work! Really like the idea of a driver race car that is enjoyed and gets used.

[@nathanlapp2244]

It makes my day whenever one of your videos drop!

[@grizzlyandtrigger5147]

Those seats are charger seats that were re-covered. Keep those frames, better yet clean, paint and reupholster them! They are rare and worth at least 1k each now. Love what you guys are doing! Check out my 68 charger too, it’s rattle can satin black

[@lennardlennard414]

@grizzlyandtrigger5147 $1000 for each seat? 😄

[@WestsideCritters]

@@lennardlennard414 😅

[@grizzlyandtrigger5147]

@@lennardlennard414yup what’s funny it’s not even the whole seat, the frames are very hard to come by, a rusted junk is at least 800$

I wasn't going to write anything for fear of being attacked, but I took offense to the cyclist comment on this video. I'm a former subscriber and car person, but I'm also a former cyclist who was hit by careless driver in 2016 - It ruined cycling for me, it was a beloved stress reliever in my life. A person's politics has nothing to do with the love of the car enthusiast hobby, and I wish we could stop turning everything in life into a social clique. You guys are great! I love your energy, work ethic, and that you strive to live a life outside of just cars. But can we all please just learn to get along.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

A car hitting a cyclist is going to end badly for the cyclists, unfortunately. (That can't be controlled) This is an extremely narrow road. We had to step on the brakes to prevent a head-on collision with the oncoming vehicle, or the other option was to hit a cyclist. There are plenty safe roads with actual bike lanes to ride on around here. I fully support that. It's hard to see in the video, but he was over the fading white line at some points. I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Putting himself and everyone else danger. Also I have seen this guy riding in the middle of the road sometime. Very inconsiderate, in my opinion. Maybe he lacks former common sense.

[@ivycycles]

@@GnarlySpeedShop From Bike Law in your state: "Cars Overtaking Bicyclists" "Motor vehicle drivers are required to pass bicyclists at a distance of no less than three (3) feet. Cars must not interfere with the safe operation of bicycles." So, in other words, if you have to slow down and wait for other cars to pass, so you can pass a cyclist safely. You have to slow down.

[@NetWit20]

I'm absolutely amazed at the work you have done on the '68 Charger! I've done my share of body work, mostly fat-fendered Fords and Plymouths, and my latest project, a '68 Austin Mini. But you take the cake with that Charger! I agree with the satin black paint job idea, and I keep wanting to see the '68 grill. If you score one, with those wheels the thing is going to be the dog's bollocks!

[@Cradletothegrave67]

In Rust we Trust. You guys are kickin ass. ✌🏻😎

[@garamoody4860]

Just got my new T Shirt and stickers in the mail. Very nice. I have had a few Mopars in my day from the early 70's. Good luck on your project.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@TheSaxon25]

Doing work before doing work! Love it haha. The Charger is looking great!!!! All murdered out would look sick. Satin black with gold leaf accents is my next hotrod paint scheme 🤙🤙

[@johnniehenderson9440]

I can't wait to see the heart of the beast. 😎

[@larrysalomon1632]

I received my sweatshirt today. Love it. Fits like a glove

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

So happy to hear!! Thank you for your purchase 🙏

[@DaPenceman]

Gonna need a bigger boat😅 Make sure you do all the quarter window work before welding on quarters Birdsong did some interesting outter wheel well mods for bigger tires Satin black is hot rod black

[@randyhoepker5528]

Glad to see you back at work on the Charger. It might look terrible to you, but that car is still a lot better rust-wise than most of the unrestored 68-70 Chargers out there. Black? Your call on the color. I do like the idea of going with gold and putting a black vinyl top on it. I think gold is the car’s original color. It will look good no matter what color you paint it. Nice to see empty space in your shop!

[@dennisonbrower7680]

I laughed out loud and choked on my drink when Danny said “I know who he voted for.” when driving by the guy on the bike….haha!

[@dclipper8052]

Was that a reverse rape enthusiast joke? Or something Cali-specific?

[@32road]

Man, the surgery is coming along on the Charger! Nice job on the cleanup activities. 👏👏👍

[@larrybolin9372]

It’s great to see you are saving these cars and driving them, like back in the day. Keep up the great work and you guys are awesome. Love your network.👍🏼👊🏻

[@440Nichole7.2]

Lookin great ! You guys should do a collab with Chris birdsong from the junkerup channel , the guy is the charger whisperer 😂❤

[@stude1953]

Nice job cleaning and organizing everything!! Makes your job so much easier!!

[@robertchapman4488]

Flat black is old news and overplayed out, but it's your car and I'll love it regardless. Lol

[@57torg]

I love it, your 68 Charger project is coming along nicely y'all. Thanks for sharing your Charger experience project. BTW, my child-hood dream car is a Black carbureted 1978 Corvette and I wouldn't have my C3 Corvette any other color than Black. I restored/modified it in my garage and have road-trip driven it from Louisiana as far West as Arizona, as far North as Kentucky and as far East as Darlington, South Carolina. About your Charger, what a coincidence. Just yesterday I watched a Chop Cut Rebuild episode on KZbin filmed at the AMD Installation Center in Cleveland, Georgia that featured an example of what can be accomplished with new AMD sheet metal and the car they featured it on is a 1969 Charger they found sitting on the ground in a salvage yard. They did a partial restoration to show at SEMA to showcase what can be done with body parts from AMD. The didn't only the body panel replacement, no engine, no interior, no glass...only the body parts in the same black shipping paint like yours. Keep up the good work, y'all two make a good team.

[@philclaridge7577]

So looking forward to the chargers progress,as a lifelong dukes of hazzard fan these cars are so cool, keep up the good work guys👍

[@octanejimmy]

DANNY!!!!! You never let Liv be Passenger Princess in that Cuda... Sir we need to have a talk. So cool to see your guys lives through KZbin. Im going to have to ask if you guys are coming to MATSLV?

[@bobtucker8875]

Dang, that Charger is looking pretty nice 👍. Very interesting 🤔 content guys 😎. Thanks for sharing.

[@rosaliecruz4304]

Love the wheel cover. Lots of work you two have going. Not going to lie. Looking foreward to seeing Barbara on the road again. It's been toooo loooonnngggg. .

[@CJColvin]

Good work on the Tempest and the Charger.

[@jasondiorio]

You guys rock! Happy for you!

[@lenandtamaraevans]

Love you guys and what you do. I would love to see the Pontiac painted and restored. Love those old cars.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

I noticed when you were driving the Tempest, when she nailed it hard, one of the red dash lights came on, what was that light for? I love all of your cars, and the Charger is going to be SO Nice! Keep up the great work and videos!

[@freemanautomotivedesign8536]

You two are doing great, keep it up.

[@thrashmarky]

It's coming along! Man that thing is killer!

That lookes cleaaaaaannnn. Thanks for the video ✌️ love your work guys💪❤

[@SoCalSlaughter]

RV looks good!

[@michaelowens944]

I got in at the start of the video no.3 like had 84 likes by the end. Always good videos!!!

[@HansenSpeedShop]

Liv you gotta buy some turbine wheels for it now full death proof!

[@BelowAmbient]

you should title this "we spent too much on an overly sought after car without caring"

[@benspiteri3807]

Your man hand’s won’t look so good when the death wheel comes apart remember that wheel running about 3000 plus rpm and when it hits you it will do a lot of damage to you put the Gard back on it be safe and have fun.

[@garywilson12]

your really making some headway on the charger, i agree the satin black would look best since it will be a driver

[@elwoodsummersjr596]

Great video, you two are amazing, such hard working young people, everything you do looks great, can't wait to see the charger done ❤❤❤

[@patrickfahring6086]

Love the charger build. Speak your mind brother. 😮😮.

[@elwoodsummersjr596]

​@@patrickfahring6086think you must have misunderstood my comment, I love the charger built, meant can't wait to see how it looks finished, they do great work !!!

[@justinhromek73]

Lookin good! Any chance you guys do a build for drag week? Something that runs 11-12 seconds and reliable…. I think that would be a blast to have a car you’ve built that can be cruised at night and raced all day. That would be awesome content!

[@paulneron375]

Oh your gonna need a blast cabinet too. Nothing small.

[@MichaelChunn40]

Satin Black...thats the ticket

[@tborkman]

I was just going to say you should wear gloves when you mentioned that someone said you should wear gloves! 😮

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Hot rod black is cheap and boring.....and super, super common (because it's cheap!) It's ok for low end rides but this is a '68 Charger! Paint her up right; FULL gloss black w/ gold rear (bumble bee) stripe! The body work is all the effort. You can't do all that and then hit it with cheap hot rod black paint. She needs to turn heads! It's a freaking '68 charger! Spare no expense! :) I've had a few black cars over the years. They don't always look dirty. They're hot inside when the sun is out though!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Anyone restoring an old Mopar needs AMD on speed dial! ;-)

[@lennardlennard414]

On a Charger it's called: Bad ass black.👍

[@elijah2078]

Did you guys know that the engineers at Mopar were going to name a brown color Fisher Body Rust? In the end they decided against it probably to avoid a lawsuit by GM.

[@aaron11675]

I’m currently installing amd quarters on my 66 gta fairlaine. I did the floor and toe board. I can’t compliment amd enough. Everything fits amazing. If it doesn’t it’s probably an issue with the car (hit).

[@paulneron375]

Soooooo, what are you two going to do about a paint booth? Maybe a outdoor blow-up one?

[@davidowen888]

Your mess is clean compared to mine 😅

[@mansonmydog]

I was noticing when you opened the tool box how organized your sockets were. What kind of socket drawer liner is that?

[@mark_osborne]

Right My first car was a '69 300 Chrysler put nearly ZERO corrosion protection into these vehicle

[@WestsideCritters]

You might be able to cut a nice rear valance out of the rear quarter panel you cut off ? Dunno 🤷‍♂️

[@SpeednDemon]

Rust is just optimized speed holes it makes the car lighter ..lighter means faster 💨💨💨

[@pedrofernando176]

🤙✌️

[@user-ro9sw1cm5d]

Have you guys considered wrapping this car?

[@jeremy_bragg]

He’s definitely a little reckless with that grinder 🤣. All fun n games until it ain’t

At this rate, the only original piece will be the VIN.

[@georgewallacejr5644]

Hey y’all would look good black and gold pin Straps and on hood and truck

[@user-xb2su5nf3i]

I am going to say one thing works on these cars and brings on back to life but if you're going to work on like a redoing the rear end putting the panels I mean doing all the panels the deck lid why can't you just go ahead and put the tail light thing and fix it and make it look I know it causes a lot of money to fix these things up but they deserve to have their attention and if you're going to just go through and put all that attention why can't you just go ahead and put that one piece in and make it look better back there I know you're going to say this I know you're going to say that but the point of it is we grew up with these cars

[@user-xi9nn8xx9k]

Love your show...but your sound is off??? It sounds muffled?? Maybe it's me?? I hit the like button though!!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Good ears...we dropped the microphone controller and cracked it. Good news is a new one just came in 🤙

Having had a black car.....never again. Hope you like yours.

So your making car look like the Movie Car >Drive Angry< and >Death Proof< both are flat black but they are 1969

you know who he voted for lol i was thinking the exact same thing

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

What does it mean? Who?

[@ralphcrockett8423]

All that’s stupid. This is supposed to be a car channel not a political channel.

[@Rski1234]

Hahaha......I said out loud before you did.."I know who He voted for" 😂

[@Bradsroad]

...." What is all this?....i don't know, but it's probably worth a lot of money....so lets not break it....." lol.....yea...everything involved in building a Mopar is expensive.

[@davidsmith3736]

There not.😂

[@OnlyTheEd]

I think the Charger in "Bullitt" was black, as well as the one in that "Fast And Furious" nonsense.

[@thunderhead3087]

Yeah man, Mopars are rusty. That's why they're rare and more special than the other companies. There are so few left. They wrecked more Mopars than anything, they were always cheapest. They were always underdogs. But on the strip. Boooooy you wanna win. You race Mopar. Anybody tell you that. As Big Daddy. He tried to blow up a hemi with 50° of timing. Stood the car up on the wheels.

[@miker6270]

Love your channel but I hope you were just joking about the cyclist. They get enough hate for no reason.

[@jimmyzamp6298]

Very true.I almost hit the unsubscribe after that comment but I will give you a pass cause you are a true car guy. Bikes have every right to be on the road as long as they stay to the shoulder which he was. Chill out.

[@moparballz5463]

I can't believe you are ragging shit on the guy riding a bike on the far right with his flashing red light on for his safety and yours, he has a right to travel regardless of what you think, grow up.

[@duathlete827]

Careful making political comments and/or bad mouthing cyclists. You never know how many subs or potential subs you're offending and alienating.

[@suppmoppors9024]

Cyclists are a blight They feel entitled never stop at red light or stop or respect priority or one way streets

[@thatdudeinorange5269]

Yell at them they need to work harder and get a car! 😅

[@paull3373]

More important than being politically correct - just be fair and open minded about other people’s hobbies - some view old cars as junk :(. As far as cyclists being inconsiderate - yes some are, but some are just sharing the road - again be tolerant as our society needs to learn that. Had someone recently complain my car was too loud - it’s got flowmasters.
