To be as young as Danny is im impressed on how many collectible cars he has.....im 59 and doing pretty good but i only have 3 and I've worked my ass off to have them, dam Danny you rolling lol
I really like how you balance your old faithful legacy cars like Slayer, Hank, Duke and Big Wave with your branding as legitimate speed shop. This format is great. It shows in real time how you are progressing together and having a great time doing it. I have been with you since the beginning so this is very exciting watching you grow!
@@GnarlySpeedShop I enjoy every minute of it. You two have a great channel! It's not just a car channel, it is the story of two good people who care about having fun and sharing it with others.
Duke is a classy old cruiser. The Charger fuel cell lid will seal OK, but that air vent needs to have a hose to the outside. The air cleaner probably needs a drop down style base, to get the overall height down. The steering shaft may need a support bearing near the uni joint, to stop it flopping about. Nice build.
Ol’ Duke is such a great original ride! Perfect set of options. So fortunate to have so little rust, cherish that. Great to see y’all taking time to enjoy a ride, a beautiful day, and a great beach!! Hope you never take it for granted. Rumrunner is lookin’ awesome, hang with it, video when ya can! Thanks for sharing with us!!🍻✌️
@14:15 I had a 1956 Oldsmobile back in 2010 when I lived in Lompoc CA and I had a bamboo headliner and door panels, perfect for a beach town, we moved to San Bernardino the same year and when I started going to shows all over socal people started copying it like that.
Guys i am new to your channel i am 75 and i love it i think you guys work great together and U2 make a great couple my wife passed away November 25 2023 of 55 years and I get lonely and I love getting on your channel thanks for sharing the 56 wagon it brings back a lot of memories
Hi Raymond. Thank you so much for the kind message and thank you for watching our channel. We are very sorry to hear about your wife.. I hope the videos bring you comfort & let you reminisce on many great memories you shared with her.
Gotta love the Duke. Car is looking amazing. You have done a beautiful job on it. What a difference from what it used to be. I can't wait for Barbara to get her 15 minutes of fame. Now that's a story.
Charger is coming along nicely. I'd clean the threads & setscrew real good on that steering coupler then Red loctight the setscrew really TIGHT! Google says red is the strongest (permanent) & that you need to heat it to remove it! 😉 oh, U gotta find a way to haul a pair of gnarly slicks with you for ole Rumrunner! Cheers 😎👍
Olivia with the white sand/fresh oregano compartment haha😂. Hey Danny if you're going to add a custom filler neck to the fuel cell I suggest you move the tank forward. Give yourself some extra trunk space for tools or equipment you guys constantly will be using. Instead of having to dig in the back seat for stuff. Also if you can do a quick disconnect at the cell for ease of removal in case of troubleshooting.
Great video! You guys are great! My 57 Nomad was the same color as Duke. Years ago I changed it to a two tone gray color and regretted not using the original color like yours. Don’t have the money to change it back. So I have to live with it. When I saw Duke I can imagine my car painted the same! The Charger is first class! I look forward every week to what you guys are up to. Waaaay better than tv! Thanks!
Wow 3 and a 1/2 inch pipes That's going to sound super sick can hardly wait to see that getting installed and running i can hardly wait im excited for you guys to get this mopar humming!
Great progress on the RR ! Do you plan a driveshaft loop for safety & NHRA requirements? These things do prevent serious damage and crashes when things break ! Peace to you both !
I really enjoy your channel I have a 55'57 both 210 posts and a 67 lemans.your uncle did ah amazing hop patina painting Duke I wouldn't have known until you said it.68 is my favorite charger to.good luck and I can't wait to see it running. You are both amazing people!
Nice, my mom had a 2 door 56 Nomad, blue, my dad put a 327 and a T350 in it, her name was Nalani, was sold to a cousin who got into a fight and someone smashed the windshield!
Next trip come Maui , check out our track, Kauai get awesome cars, never been to Kauai, track next to the beach, loved your video Liv, thank you, God bless!
To follow up on the wiper pivots.....there's a pretty common solution for them once you get them to rotate again......take those holes you drilled and pop grease zerks in them Then fill the pivots with grease. You'll never have to worry about them locking up again!!!
Dan use a product called Duraglass to fill the roof to quarter panel seams. It has fibersglass strands in the filler. To secure the steering universals machine a flat on your steering shaft that the set screws can sit on. Use red locktite on the set screws. One more thing install a stand off bearing to support the steering shaft
Woah that paint is amazing!!! It definitely fooled me....and I saw it IRL 👌You guys have got so much done already - nice work. I can't wait to see that exhaust and hear it rip!!! See ya 🤙🍻
The chrome dash air conditioning vent and heater/air conditioning control panel appear to be the only original pieces left of the factory air unit and are fairly valuable especially the control pannel so don't give those away to just anyone. Yep, I was a teenager when these 56s were new vehicles on the dealer's showroom floors in the fall of 1955.
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. 🍩☕️👀😎👍🎸🎸. The wagon is so cool , as kid in the. 50 & 60 going any were in the back ; so cool ! The Charger is looking very good nice job guys !
Another entertaining video, Duke is looking great, love the fake patina, the charger is sweet, it's going to better than new! It's a good thing you're both young so you work & then fix up the charger.
In 56 my Grandfather bought on just like it, blue and white, but w/ 6 and column shift. My uncle, at one point, had it up to 110mph, so the story goes!
Hey Danny and Liv, just ordered a shirt for me and a pinata colada car air freshener. Would make my day to get an autograph from you both, if you have the time. I tape them to my box at work, so when people ask, I can direct them to your channel.
Yep. The steering shaft/joint screw situation - same, I don't like it .. never been comfortable with it. As for solutions, every.single.person. has an opinion. Do what makes you feel secure. Nice catch Danny.
Sorry you felt the need to swap your Aloha Racks for fear they would get stolen, but I get it. I have some old bikes that people have stolen parts off of. Unbelievable. I could never replace those.
With the steering shaft to universal just , you just drill a shallow indent into the shaft then use Loctite and tighten the hell out of the set screw and lock nut.
Back in the day when I was a kid my dad would be driving and my brother's and sisters and I would lay in the back and hang our feet out the rear window and slide all over when went around corners
Doesn't that set screw go into a groove into that splined end on the shaft if it does it's never going anywhere wouldn't weld it but also at the same time you need to have a "D" shaft that has a collapseable shell around it so the vibration, movement, and oscillations from front end going down the road doesn't feed back into the steering column and steering wheel because it will be miserable having it feed back into your hands on long drives. Maybe it's already there and I didn't see it .
ok this is the last time i will say this.i woundnt not do the remote full,if you get even in a small wreck it will come off and you will die,also turn the bolts on the steering column so you dont hit your knees on them,car looks good ,but think about making it safe.
I’ve gotten to see cars like that in the Black Hills, they just look like they belong, interesting to me because normally I would have just thought they look at home in California.Here in Nebraska it’s just kinda like 🤷♂️ when I see them . Cool, but they don’t look at home.
