Her First Time Doing Body Work - 1968 Dodge Charger Build

[@WestsideCritters]

Good Job , Olivia … remember the best car body person in the world wasn’t the best body person when they started! I’m impressed at your willingness and concern for doing well !!! Keep it up Girl 🔥

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@1966gtoguy]

Much respect to Olivia...always willing to get in and get her hands dirty and give things a try. Nice Job !

[@trentdawg2832]

Yeah she is no stranger to gettin down!!!!

[@kentclark7076]

Chey orange!!

[@cawfeedawg]

Liv's Enthusiasm and lack of ego for this kind of work is bloody Awesome!

[@davidparise4517]

You guys are great together! I have recently discovered this show, and I am hooked! To me Danny you are peanut butter, and Olivia, you are the Jelly the cars are the bread! It just works!

[@SandySmith-qd1ku]

LOVE IT!! PLease let Oliva build the whole car she's a real trooper!! GOOD Job coaching! Great teacher!!

[@jalopyranch3904]

Where can I find a woman like Olivia? She’s cool

[@jacquelineg3987]

You two are the sweetest couple. Both a huge compliment to each other.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

You are always so kind. Thanks for watching ‐Olivia ❤️

[@NetWit20]

The most fun I have watching is when you two are taking trips in the Big Wave, or going camping in Slayer. The shop stuff is cool, but lots of cars shows are about fixing up cars. You guys taking road trips after you fix up a car and doing the spontaneous stuff is what I think Gnarly Speed Shop is all about. It's a great story of starting from nothing and taking us along on the journey.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Great feedback! Some people prefer us working in the shop & doing build content, but we definitely have more fun getting out there and enjoying the cars!

[@NetWit20]

Right, and the builds, as long as you both do all the work, is all part of your story.

[@stevelacy8393]

Having the interest is half the battle, Go Olivia! Dan, great teacher and so patient. Awesome. Great video guys.

[@dondawson8700]

No explanation needed I have always thought you two worked as a team on all projects no matter who is doing what... Keep doing what you do

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you!

[@hooligangeneral300]

This was a good one! I learned a lot about welding thin sheet metal.

[@justinmcsweeney9385]

Props Danny, you've def got more patience as a teacher than I could ever have. Good on you bro.

[@tborkman]

It’s funny how you always say you’re scared or nervous and you always nail it. Have confidence in yourself. You can do anything and with Danny help you’ll Learn a lot. Love the channel

[@RAIDERNATION70]

TEAM WORK I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I TRY TO WATCH THEM ALL

[@rifleman1873]

I really don’t think you are gonna miss views because you are teaching Olivia. Enjoyable to watch in its own aspects. Y’all make a great team!!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Good job Olivia. As you probably already know, you don't learn how to do bodywork and paint overnight. It takes time. I'm sure it took Danny time to learn it too. That's so cool that you are learning to do it the right way. Danny is a patient, good teacher. Good on both of you! Well done! You will make mistakes along the way. Don't be discouraged. So what. They can be fixed, and you will learn. That's the way it goes. It is a learning curve. No one does it perfect right out of the gate, ever! You have the right attitude! You will get it!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Appreciate it 🙏

[@SabotageGarageUSA]

When you show each other your skills, you teach us as well. You become a source of education

[@trentdawg2832]

Danny seems like the most chill down to earth dude/ teacher/ Leader…….im so happy these 2 found eachother and wish them nothing but the best!!!!

[@deanmilward3917]

The best way to learn Olivia is to make mistakes. Try not to make the same mistake twice. Every single person who has ever learnt bodywork had to start somewhere. Good work.

[@markpaterson-v3m]

Love the way you work together. I love to teach someone who wants to learn 😊

[@pureblood_ALPHAMALE]

You did a fantastic job Olivia. Amazing joband Danny taking the time and patience to teach her some great tips. You guys are a great team. Love the channel and all the different content you guys produce. I honestly love the variety of stuff. I mean you could upload a video of washing all the cars and I'd definitely watch. The chemistry that you two have is a breath of fresh air. All these "car" channels are beginning to become the same with the the same info and rhetoric. Love how you guys joke around, get serious, show your actual concerns and how can I forget Danny's quick little jokes 😂. My wife and I be cracking up! Keep up the good work guys and ignore the haters. Stay humble and stay blessed friends 🙏

[@georgewallacejr5644]

Hello y’all doing a great job love y’all videos. To do a great job it takes a long time y’all work great together 👍👍👍🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@gordonwalker8003]

Look it's good she can weld . Two thumbs up . Danny it's. Going teach is great job.

[@mathewmorrison4907]

I really like these kind of videos of danny teaching because I also learn a lot from it as well because I suck at bodywork.

[@tho464]

Watching that epoxy primer go on was actually really satisfying. Great job!

[@roberthirshfield3571]

You go girl it’s great to see younger generation getting involved in working an learning how to repair an what it takes your doing great you go girl

[@jessicagreene1773]

The channel is great as it is and as it grows. No need to rush things or worry about learning on the job, everyone started somewhere. The Charger is a good car to learn on.

Great job Olivia & Danny, it's nice to learn a new thing. Flat gold would look awesome !. Good luck with the build.

[@rodneylalonde6382]

loved the paint stick idea to transfer without the mess. Great video

[@markbaranowski3734]

Great job Olivia. Practice makes perfect!!!🙌

That why you two are a team! There is no "I' in team! both of you show the best part that compliments the other person! I love your show, totally!

[@calelliott7636]

When you learn I learn too! Thanks for your patience Dan. Good job

[@ctsgarage5304]

We all had to learn how to do it. I started on spanner’s in 1988 and self taught to weld. I’ve worked with a friend how was a panel beater and painter. Keep up the good work ❤

[@shadetreemotorsports]

Basically every youtube channel i watch is building,racing,breaking,repair,paint, body,mechanic,anything i can learn from. Watching people learn these skill is my favorite way to learn.good,bad,wrong or right.its all amasing entertainment and valuable skills i use practicality every day.thank you for sharing all of this with us. For metal working I really enjoy a channel called "make it custom" and he's canadian.

[@darryleconrad2248]

Good Job well done and Danny is a good teacher. you guy's rock.

[@BSR496]

You did a great job learning the new skills... Congrats!

[@jackyboygee777]

Great video, Olivia has a good teacher, and i agree with her choice of gold, maybe even with a black trim, or racing stripe........Stay well guys.

[@m.maxsween2422]

Olivia this is a perfect car to learn body work. I myself enjoy metal work when you weld those cracks a good trick is using a flat piece of brass placed on the back side of the crack.

[@jasondracup8038]

Flat gold would make this charger stand out from the crowd love the channel and how it’s changing thanks for making great content and taking us with you on your car and life journeys ❤

[@TwiztidThorn]

Burnt Orange with satin black accents would be awesome. Great video as always. Y'all are an amazing team. Your channel, VGG, Nivlac57, and Uncle Tony's Garage are my absolute favorite car channels on YT.

[@LanceisLawson]

This makes me want to go back into the restoration business. I nod my head yes to just about every operation performed here.

[@sschliebe461]

Proud of you for being willing to work on the car yourself, Olivia! You are so cool!

Olivia your work on the door was all quite good far better than most for 1st time hands on ...very good ...

[@randyhoepker5528]

Great job on the door Liv. You have a future in body and paint! Thats my favorite part of restoration work. My vote for the color is GOLD. Everyone paints their cars flat black. Be different. You can shoot it in a single stage and then clear it if you want it really shiny.

[@thomasalexander8420]

Olivia you're doing a fine job.keep up the good work

[@martinjay5906]

Attached girl, ur a trooper Olivia!! You and Danny have the funnest channel 👍

[@kimdearrington258]

Olivia, you are doing extremely well, and more than almost any young Ladies would be willing to do, and most young men in today's America, so don't get discouraged. We are all better at certain things than other things, even if it is working on cars, but a true mechanic can and are willing to try and learn to do everything, just like you are trying to do, but all of it takes time, and some learn quicker or slower than others, just don't get discouraged!👍😁

[@davemaclellan9171]

Dream Team...your content is always entertaining you both have skills to make you stronger together.

[@nathanlapp2244]

One of the things I love about your channel is how real it is! Sometimes you make a lot of progress on your project and sometimes you don’t. It’s the same with my project cars. Keep up the good work and I keep watching!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you so much Nathan!

[@57torg]

Thanks guys, I used to be a welder in my early life in my 20s and I really like to weld. You're giving us very good direction for those who are learning from your videos. Keep up the good work. And the primer painting looks like it came out great in serving the purpose of using primer coats. I tried painting the door on my 78 C3 but didn't know how to properly adjust the air and really orange peeled it bad.

[@Pork-c1g]

Liv, you did really good. So did you, Dan.

[@terryeustice5399]

It’s a trial and error thing bodywork. Take your time Danny you’re doing the right things teaching Olivia. Welding is tough. Takes years to roll dimes. And the car will be fine. I think Black is cool. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍👊

Learning to use the tools won't take long Olivia. Knowing which tool to use for which job may take a little longer. Love the dedication from both of you guys. Love the videos. 😮😮

[@traman49isjohn]

What about flip-flop paint ? Black in the shadows and gold pearl when the sun hits just right.

[@thunderhead3087]

Good job, it's exciting to see someone have an interest and want to learn, that is a good work ethic. It was fun to see you try these new tasks which, I believe most of us have forgotten the excitement of learning. It's refreshing to see someone have an excitement. As far as Mopars, you'll get your connection when that thing draws blood. Mopars seek it. They're full of surprises, especially on the receipts lol

[@bcavmechanic]

Nice job guys. Great mentoring by Danny and apprentice skills there Liv. I am a mechanic of over 30 years and train apprentices all the time so I know how it goes. I have been doing my best to teach my wife to work on her classic as well. She has a 67' Skylark and we dropped a hot Buick 350 and 4 speed into it together. We have been building a rear axle for it this winter. We both enjoy your shows. I would like to also mention I believe we both very much know your situation on your discussion at the beginning. I try very much to include my wife on projects for her car, but sometimes the timeline of getting it done forces me to just plow through it. She wants to be involved as it is her car. She does very well doing the work but only has so much time available. Ultimately she wants it drivable so sometimes I just have to get it done. By they way. At the beginning of the video where you guys were doing the body hammer work around the door latch Danny mentioned he did not know the name of the counter sunk divets in the sheet metal. Those are called dimples. We use them in aviation sheet metal work for counter sunk rivets. There is a press tool with dimple dies that presses that dimple into the metal. Keep up the good work.

Great video, 52 minutes have never gone by so fast! Olivia is a great learner and Dan is very patient which makes the best teacher. My favorite color for Chargers is Turbine Bronze, but it's a Charger so pretty much any color works! Also just note that Mopar engine bays are always painted body color. I know it seems nitpicky but us Chrysler fans are pretty crazy lol

[@marionsimonds5469]

Everyone has their preferences over what works best, but I’ll tell you something I found works fantastic on stripping paint and rust off irregular surfaces , they make a type wire wheels that are “cupped” with a very stiff and heavier type wire , that have spiraled strands , and a stem for use in hand tools . You of coarse have to be careful and for sure wear eye and skin protection , but I put them in my die grinder, and you can have something like the bottoms of that door down to bare metal in a very short time . Maby give that a try sometime ! I think you’d like the results . And thanks for the videos , they’re awesome to watch !

[@patrickbrennan2346]

Alivia & Dan you are doing great & are a great team & complement each other. I sure hope the commenters didn’t make you feel like you had to address us. My father always said if you don’t learn something every day in what you do in your career you’re in the wrong career. I am a carpenter of over 20 yrs, which is a similar field where you learn more the more you do & also learn from others you work with. Not everyone is book smart & can retain it. We learn by doing & doing & doing till we can do it correctly. I make it a point to learn or teach others all the tricks of the trade & when it comes down to it we are all creative & can learn & do the same job correctly but how are most comfortable and productive. Keep up the great work & great videos !!

Thanks for sharing this info, I don't see any problem with your content or the timing of how fast/slow projects take. That's keeping it real you know, having jobs is normal and fitting time in to work on projects is how most of us do it. I don't feel you need to explain that but appreciate you guys for saying so ❤. I know nothing about metal work or welding, would I like to, heck yeah, so I get where Olivia is coming from wanting to be more part of the Charger build and no take away from Danny's hard work/time. look forward to Danny teaching Liv these skills, share it with us if you like or on your own. Likewise Liv teaching Danny some office skills etc. I'm just here to enjoy whatever you guys want to share. ❤️🍻 Glad to see you masked up and looking awesome with your hair up in a pony tail Liv! Great team work guys! I've never welded/painted and you are doing great Liv, having Danny by your side and you both having patience is the key. You guys are getting me motivated to try this one day on my project truck... 78 Bronco that needs more work than I can do solo, with no expert help at my side. My vote is still black but with gold flames or pin striping to match the Gnarly Speed Shop logo, or vice versa, gold with black flames/striping.
