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.
@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.
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.
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.
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!!🍻✌️
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.
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 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!
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 😎👍
Thanks for the Duke walk around. Love to see such an original 56 wagon. I have the 56 210 two door wagon. They call them a “Handyman” wagon. The originality of mine is long gone, but the 56 wagons are so cool!
Love the Duke details. My dad had a 56 BELAIR wagon when I was growing up, and seeing the rear hatch mechanism brought me back to my childhood. Me and my dad would cruise to that same parking lot all the time in the 80’s too! Charger is looking cool!!
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.
WHAT A TREAT THAT WAS! THE TWO OF YOU ARE GREAT STORY TELLERS!! SUCH A NICE LITTLE FILM ABOUT A VERY SPECIAL CAR. THIS IS MOTIVATING ME TO GET MY 57 PATINA PONTIAC WAGON GOING WHICH IS A CLOSE COUSIN TO DUKE.
You guys are both amazing with your all that you have going on in your lives, to be slamming out a charger from scratch! I am blown away at Dany's skill set that he has. Oliva if only every woman any of us had love cars and worked on them like you, the divorce rate would be zero!
My first car in 1966 was a 56 chevy 2 door wagon grey and white 265-V8. Bought cheep bad ball-joints and one bad lower control arm. I was 17 at the time, good times.
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 🤙🍻
Hey guys, thanks to your videos I spent some fun time along the coast there. Where you gave the Duke tour I saw a lot of squirrels jumping up into the engine compartments. Only mistake I made, ordering Fish & Chips from Neptune's Net... yikes ugh, I should have ordered anything else... it was so bad and because it was expensive I tried to eat it lol, but threw most of it out :( Thanks again for the intro to the area!
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 !
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.
Very cool, learned to drive a clutch on my dads 56 210 2 Dr post was not old enough to drive on the road, we had a long driveway. It was a darker green and white with a an optional padded dash. My Dad bought a lot of his cars wrecked and fixed them up. He was GM mechanic for 37 years.
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!
...i used to put a twin mattress in my wagon and I lived in mine occasionally...the seats were cloth with naugahide inserts in it...the original owner bought this with added options on it..the powerglide is one of the best automatics gm ever made....
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
Boy it’s very hard to find a 1/25 scale resin body to build that model 😞love the 56’s what a beauty. i’d love to build that for you & Danny or a 3D printed one.REVELL models will have the 68 charger kit.Rum runners looking bad to the bone
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!!!
That's what I've found that's the ideal way of doing it. I just put my steering together and tested it today, and the shaft popped out.😅 So that's my next project tomorrow. Might use a little locktite too.
The instructions in my Borgeson setup say to get everything postioned how you want it and then drill a hole through the near side of the shaft so the screw passes through that and bottoms out on the inside of the shaft at the other side.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 !
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.
Hey guys love the channel! You might look into putting the wiper parts in evapo-rust from orileys I used it on some very rusty parts and it cleaned them up nicely!
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.
Dude, you are so lucky. my wife hates everything I build in my shop. lol that's too loud, that's too high, that's ugly, I ain't riding in that.....she so funny to me.....
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.
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 .
16:09 those old style power steering and brakes... if they ever begin to leak, seals or ..? A good place in OC ABS brakes in Orange. they rebuild all old car brakes and steering, they dont work on cars, its carry in and carry out. The might have exchange for those. They are weird and quirky but not obsolete... or they would have everything to upgrade to modern style and front disk if you wanted.

Great 56. Never saw one with AC 🤔 it's a window washer canister that's what the button is for 👍🏻 very cool keep cruezen it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

Presumably named after the famous Duke Kahanamoku. I love that old long roof!
Absolutely 🤙

The carb # is on the tag Oliva!
Duke is so original. Kool video!
That mirror spot on Duke was likely a dealer installed option. I really like the rattan headliner you installed. Yes, the A/C is VERY rare.

@@gerry-p9x lol thanks dude
The Charger is looking amazing! She is going to be SO SWEET!!!
Sweet ride for sure!! Pretty cool your uncle was able to come thru with the patina hook up!
Very cool, I have Speedhut gauges in my thirdgen Camaro,….GPS speedometer too,..!
Hey guys, thanks to your videos I spent some fun time along the coast there. Where you gave the Duke tour I saw a lot of squirrels jumping up into the engine compartments. Only mistake I made, ordering Fish & Chips from Neptune's Net... yikes ugh, I should have ordered anything else... it was so bad and because it was expensive I tried to eat it lol, but threw most of it out :( Thanks again for the intro to the area!
Try the clam chowder or ahi tuna salad or crab cakes or crab cake burger! Anything else
Amazing job on the Charger, what talent you both have. I also love the 56 wagon, so nice to see a car so original that you can still enjoy.
Duke is incredible! I love the bamboo headliner! :) You two have an eye for cars!

They used to call those white walls "Porta-Walls" Duke reminds me of my 55 wagon, I love it!!
The Duke, eternally awesome
Well Olivia and Danny. You’re not doing this for your viewers. Doing it for you. Enjoying the trip. Best wishes! 💯👊👍💕
...i used to put a twin mattress in my wagon and I lived in mine occasionally...the seats were cloth with naugahide inserts in it...the original owner bought this with added options on it..the powerglide is one of the best automatics gm ever made....
Buy a can with Evaporust at Harbor Freight and soak the two windshield wiper pivots in it for a couple of days. They will come loose.
Love you guys
Keep up the good work.
I welded my Borgeson U joint to the steering column axle. Safety first.

Then fill the pivots with grease. You'll never have to worry about them locking up again!!!
Olivia is such a natural beautiful lady
Thanks for showing all these other TH-camrs what classy looks like
" Duke" has to be on your calendar when y'all decide to add it to your merch ! ( perfect stocking stuffers)
Ya might try soaking those rusty parts in, distilled white vinegar (over night) keep an eye on then, it might over react with pot metal or aluminum.
Maybe drill a dimple in the steering shaft for the set screw to index on would be a good idea. Not too deep.
That's what I've found that's the ideal way of doing it. I just put my steering together and tested it today, and the shaft popped out.😅 So that's my next project tomorrow. Might use a little locktite too.

Get you some Vapo-Rust for those wiper arms
He did a amazing job kiddos thanks for the video have a beautiful evening you too ok later ❤💗

Love the headliner❤
For the vent try French lake auto parts. I have a video of me walking through there a few years ago. They can pull and ship.
I just bought a 56 210 wagon
They are so cool
Awesome vid
love the 1956 duke.
Super rad car!
Keep on trucking it is closer and closer
🔥🔥🔥Aluminum is going to sound crazy
Just looking at that car makes you want to go to the beach
You such repair te dents. You the best paintless dent repair in California.
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!

My Buick Dynaflow has its reverse all the way in the bottom as well.

Yes Sir!!!
Get a fan shroud on it and that should help stop the overheating. Fantastic car!
The best way to finish a project is to have a hard deadline.
Awesome car great idea on the headliner
the spot light option for 1956 was $7.95 , ive got a tri book with all colors and options. thought you would like to kow
Hey guys love the channel! You might look into putting the wiper parts in evapo-rust from orileys I used it on some very rusty parts and it cleaned them up nicely!
Rooting for you guys!!!♥
In my younger days, we would hide our beers in the tire well of a 57 Chevy station wagon. Cops never found it… lol
For that vent try @Adventures made from scratch
😎🏴☠️Set of AC vents on eBay very pricey !
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.
Love the headliner!
Before and after photos, would be great, too.....(of the charger)
Dude, you are so lucky. my wife hates everything I build in my shop. lol that's too loud, that's too high, that's ugly, I ain't riding in that.....she so funny to me.....
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.
The light is an after market add on. Is like the police spot light.
Mugu Rock! I miss California 😢
sad news about the 265 V8.. no oil filter.... the later 283 and up, got oil filters. GREAT looking ride though.
So maybe run the exhaust out dumping in front of the rear tire's 🤷🏽♂️👍🏻😎
I’d rather have that four door than a Nomad❤
You might want to get some ViceGripGarage shine juice for it to protect it or maybe some of his clear coat.
Beautiful car👍😎
in the '60s a lot of cars had Exxon's Atlas Bucron tires on the rear.
Those "teeth" are called bumperettes/bumper guards.
I believe the color of the rear seat is called sea green.
They called them porta walls.
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.
