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 🔥
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 🙏
I just came across this channel today. After watching several videos i subbed because this is what car channels should be. Not profanity every other word like most, and i appreciate Olivias willingness to learn. No one was born knowing how to do any of these things.
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.
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!
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!👍😁
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.
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.
I'm kinda late to the party on this video. Liv, there's plenty you can do on the charger. De-scaling that door, just for one. Cleanliness and attention to detail makes a big impact. Removing paint and getting to bare metal for the quarter panels to be welded. Simple vacuuming and rust removal will tell you where holes and weak metal are, so they can be filled or patched. Forming patch panels to replace bad metal is a good skill to have as well. One thing, you will often find that the wire wheel will line-up the surface rust, take the loose rust off then use sand paper to get to nice shiny metal. There is also some good rust converter you can use, and it will seal up the metal so no air gets to the metal. Rust needs 2 things, moisture and oxygen, to thrive. Rust converter takes away the chance for oxygen by sealing the metal, then you can paint over it as well. Just a few ideas for you......
When i first started spraying,......i was the exact same way. Timid, worried, scared, and to concerned about the incignificant. So,.....my auto body shop teacher Mr.Beasley said,....."Relax son. Its not that serious. Instead of trying to do it perfect,.......try doing it while simultaneously having fun." Its easier said than done. But its absolutely the key to success when laying down product.
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.
A little POR-15 tip. If the POR-15 has cured paint/primer does not stick to it that well. IF..., you paint/primer over POR it needs to be done in their stated "finger drag time" for recoat. Otherwise they advise using their "Tie Coat Primer" that adheres to cured POR-15 but also allows other paint to stick to it. I have found that the tie coat primer works quite well. Albeit it is one more of their product that you have to buy. I would also advise using the Metal Prep (phosphoric acid, available at Home Depot) in the bottom of the doors, rinse and thoroughly let dry (a leaf blower works great for that) and then paint the bottom of the inside about 1" up. Even washing a car will allow water inside the door but now the area will be protected.
👍 Olivia you rocked that first time primming... Honestly I've never done that😮 and I'm 59, I've been working on cars since the late 70's. Awesome job 👍 I think it's time for me to try that, I've got a 65 C10 I could practice on.
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.
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
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.
It's great you're wanting to learn more about hands on car stuff, a lot of women even some men wouldn't dare do this sort of thing. Dan will also appreciate the extra help he's could use teaching you this. You take pride in what you do, things can get done quicker now. As you mentioned, most people would just send their vehicle off to a restorer to do bodywork/paint. AND speaking of paint, I would go "Flat Gold" for the Charger as a choice. Most car guys like to do Flat Blacks, Charcoal or Grey. I like the thought of Flat Gold, definitely be right and give the Charger it's own character from the rest. Glad that you're willing to go other than black. It won't be the same colour as the Camaro, so when you're both out together cruising you will be colours apart with separate identities. I like the fact that this channel is becoming more in-depth with some teaching(s) as well.
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 !
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.
You worry way too much about that door. That thing will last forever now. As soon as I saw all that pitting, I knew high build would fill all that right in. Wont hurt a thing and smooth it right out with a little sanding. You'll never know anything was wrong with it, soon and it will look just like a new panel. I had a far worse door than this on my t-bird. I had to rip out a whole long section and replace it but it was worth it, cus it's cheap. Only body shops need to replace all the panels really, cus time is money. When your doing it for your own ride, there's no harm at all in repairing. No way would wasted that door either. Great job guys.
Oh, I already gave my opinion last video but gloss black with rear gold bumble bee stripe baby! Take your time, high build primer is cheap! Just block it out smooooooth as a babies bottom and go full gloss! All the work is in the body work anyway. You've got to paint it either way, so just shoot it and make her sexy! Doesn't have to be perfect.
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
You did very well with the welding, the key is to be able to see your weld, and when you are welding edges of sheet metal get on and off the trigger quickly!
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 ❤
Hey Liv, nobody welds perfectly when they're new at it. In fact, the more I weld, the better grinder I become! Also, what about painting the Charger matte or semi gloss black, with a gold bumble bee stripe on the rear? Personally, i like the 69 Super Bee stripe best, and you could put your logo in it instead of the "Super Bee" logo. Just a thought. Great job guys!
I would recommend buying a sandblaster and blast the parts that are bad rusty rather than using a power tool and a wire wheel, because it can get where you can't with the tool. A tip is to also put a tarp down so that you can reuse the sand that you would normally lose, just be certain to pick out the large trash in it, or screen it before reuse.
Also when you start blowing through give the metal time to cool back down then go back to itand add some more weld. The hotter the sheet metal gets the easier it is to blow through. But your doing great. Keep up the good work you guys.
Your doing a great job sweetheart wish I was out there with you guys,,,,I'm 69 years old and I grew up in Mt dads body shop,,,,,,had to give up painting because of the polyurethane paint imron and amber flint never wore a respirator screwed up my lungs and today I'm paying for it,,,,,but make sure you always wear your respirator,,,,,only thing I would do different is sandblast it your metal has to be clean,,,,,,love you guys videos,,,,,,,,thank you al Davis
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.
Dang when the video gave me anxiety at the start - it felt like I walked in the house and my parents were waiting to talk to me about my report card 😂😂 good on you for getting in there Liv! Watch your hair and hoodie pulls 🤙🍻
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. 😮😮
This video i liked it, maybe you should do tutorials how to do things, you would have lots of content. What tools u use and why. Then settings and what to watch out for.
She did super loved it Dan your a good boss lol back in the 80's my uncle would paint cars in the yard he was a retired body guy prob back then in his 70's he used a smoother filler called Red Lead not sure you can even get it anymore but just thought of this at the end of your video.
Excellent work Olivia........oh and to me, Chargers always look good in that factory light or medium dark turquoise metallic but a budget might mean straight satin black. The original General Lee(s) from the tv show were just a random orange mixed cheaply for many cars in the series, there was no 'special orange' or red orange and it is a race car, so orange would be a budget alternative, in my view. Orange would seem to be a fitting tribute to the cars history too.
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 🔥
Thank you so much 🙏
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

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!
Right, and the builds, as long as you both do all the work, is all part of your story.
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!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Appreciate it 🙏
LOVE IT!! PLease let Oliva build the whole car she's a real trooper!! GOOD Job coaching! Great teacher!!
Where can I find a woman like Olivia? She’s cool
Much respect to Olivia...always willing to get in and get her hands dirty and give things a try. Nice Job !
Yeah she is no stranger to gettin down!!!!
Chey orange!!
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
Thank you!
TEAM WORK I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I TRY TO WATCH THEM ALL
Having the interest is half the battle, Go Olivia!
Dan, great teacher and so patient. Awesome.
Great video guys.
That's great Liv is willing to learn! My wife won't even get me a glass of water when I'm working in the garage.
😢
Aw :(
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.

What about flip-flop paint ? Black in the shadows and gold pearl when the sun hits just right.
Props Danny, you've def got more patience as a teacher than I could ever have. Good on you bro.
You two are the sweetest couple. Both a huge compliment to each other.
You are always so kind. Thanks for watching ‐Olivia ❤️
You did a great job. I'm a master painter from Germany and I like the way you approach the matter. I like you, Olivia.
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 👍👍👍🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much 🤗
Look it's good she can weld . Two thumbs up . Danny it's. Going teach is great job.
Liv, you did really good. So did you, Dan.
This was a good one! I learned a lot about welding thin sheet metal.
When you show each other your skills, you teach us as well. You become a source of education
Attached girl, ur a trooper Olivia!! You and Danny have the funnest channel 👍
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.
I just came across this channel today. After watching several videos i subbed because this is what car channels should be. Not profanity every other word like most, and i appreciate Olivias willingness to learn. No one was born knowing how to do any of these things.
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.
Stay light, cheerful and loving !
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!
loved the paint stick idea to transfer without the mess. Great video
She did really well painting the primer for a first timer,but it shows up the dents for you to repair later, well done!
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!👍😁
It's great that Olivia wants to learn it all . She will be great once she has learned it . Kick butt Olivia you can do it .
Good Job well done and Danny is a good teacher. you guy's rock.
Olivia you're doing a fine job.keep up the good work
Love the way you work together. I love to teach someone who wants to learn 😊

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.
I found your channel today and subscribed to it today 😀 and I'm loving it ❤🇺🇸👍❗️
Thank you so much!! 🙏
@@GnarlySpeedShop you are so very welcome 😊👍❗️
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.
Danny would make a great shop teacher
Good job, Olivia !!! Great progress on the charger

Blacks going to be ambitious for a former race car , Great video tonight, Liv did a great job . Gear head girls are a rare gift from god 👊🏻

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!!!!
Both of your skills complement each other.
She is brilliant she will grasp the talent being thermal is always better then being fast
You did a great job learning the new skills... Congrats!
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 know the wire wheel is cheaper, but sand blasting the door perimeter would remove all the paint

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 .

Maby give that a try sometime ! I think you’d like the results . And thanks for the videos , they’re awesome to watch !
I like the Bright orange on it, but black is always a winner if you really do it right and put multiple coats on it.
Great job Olivia & Danny, it's nice to learn a new thing. Flat gold would look awesome !. Good luck with the build.
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.

Nicely done Olivia! I´d paint the car satin gold with satin black accents. Good luck with the build you guys! Greetings from Sweden.
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 ❤
Good progress Team Gnarly ! For paint, go factory B3 Blue w/white interior, and white deck-lid stripe, or black int./black stripe.....yeeeooowza !
Good job Liv. Very good on the paint it laid and covered good.
Hey Liv, nobody welds perfectly when they're new at it. In fact, the more I weld, the better grinder I become! Also, what about painting the Charger matte or semi gloss black, with a gold bumble bee stripe on the rear? Personally, i like the 69 Super Bee stripe best, and you could put your logo in it instead of the "Super Bee" logo. Just a thought. Great job guys!
Awesome job Olivia, ive done a lot of painting in my time and you got the speed first time youll be an expert in no time
Teamwork is a skill. I watch this and Corry Wheat just to see men and women backing each other.
Watching that epoxy primer go on was actually really satisfying. Great job!
Paint It High Gloss Limousine Black like the black charger in the movie bullet💪🏻Gold is a Sharp color too👍🏻
You did good 0livia the paint techniques will be more refined as time goes the more times you work with the gun you just naturally get better.
Alivia you are a natural!
I would recommend buying a sandblaster and blast the parts that are bad rusty rather than using a power tool and a wire wheel, because it can get where you can't with the tool.
A tip is to also put a tarp down so that you can reuse the sand that you would normally lose, just be certain to pick out the large trash in it, or screen it before reuse.
Door looked amazing you guys 🏁🏁🏁
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
Also when you start blowing through give the metal time to cool back down then go back to itand add some more weld. The hotter the sheet metal gets the easier it is to blow through. But your doing great. Keep up the good work you guys.
Your doing a great job sweetheart wish I was out there with you guys,,,,I'm 69 years old and I grew up in Mt dads body shop,,,,,,had to give up painting because of the polyurethane paint imron and amber flint never wore a respirator screwed up my lungs and today I'm paying for it,,,,,but make sure you always wear your respirator,,,,,only thing I would do different is sandblast it your metal has to be clean,,,,,,love you guys videos,,,,,,,,thank you al Davis
Love these kind of videos! Great job guys
Don't know what happened with the other comments, but you did a great job liv , your a fast learner and Danny a great teacher ❤❤
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.
Flat gold all the way!!!!
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.
Dang when the video gave me anxiety at the start - it felt like I walked in the house and my parents were waiting to talk to me about my report card 😂😂 good on you for getting in there Liv! Watch your hair and hoodie pulls 🤙🍻
Proud of you for being willing to work on the car yourself, Olivia! You are so cool!
Great Job and great video!
Girl I ain't no expert but it looks like you got potential as a painter your doing great the tricks fir speed will come keep it up
Thank you so much 🤗
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. 😮😮
Awesome video! She’s a Natural!
This video i liked it, maybe you should do tutorials how to do things, you would have lots of content. What tools u use and why. Then settings and what to watch out for.
She did super loved it Dan your a good boss lol back in the 80's my uncle would paint cars in the yard he was a retired body guy prob back then in his 70's he used a smoother filler called Red Lead not sure you can even get it anymore but just thought of this at the end of your video.
Olivia is a trooper!❤
Screw the so-called experts in the comments...you guys enjoy what you do and it shows in the great work you produce.
Excellent work Olivia........oh and to me, Chargers always look good in that factory light or medium dark turquoise metallic but a budget might mean straight satin black. The original General Lee(s) from the tv show were just a random orange mixed cheaply for many cars in the series, there was no 'special orange' or red orange and it is a race car, so orange would be a budget alternative, in my view. Orange would seem to be a fitting tribute to the cars history too.
