Maybe a gold body, black hood and roof and a black band around the "ass" of the car to put sponsors in/on. You got this !!
I have to say, ya both have me so excited to see not only the Charger Done ✅, but to see where the channel goes
Love your energy, and enthusiasm for car life. Y’alls videos are fun to watch!
I realize you have already used an all metal type filler on your roof seams … I’ve been in the custom and restoration biz for most of my 68 years of age ( old fart lol) sounds great , metal to metal?? Steel and aluminum base filler in our experience have drastic expansion rates. We use Dynaglass or Duroglass filters in roof seams with no shrinkage down the line on top Autorama show cars .. your Rum Runner is going a metallic gold awesome ! Just some words to help
with the longevity of your paint job … you Guys Rock , keep up the great Gnarlyness !!!
Good Luck.. Hope you guys make Redwood... ( just my 2 cents ).. PLEASE.. Don't worry about Paint.. Make it RUN.. Make It Safe... Make it go fast.. Paint ?? MEH.. later on.. Carry On..
The charger looks good don't even look like the same car. Cool 😎
Get yourself apiece of smooth floor tile and use it for your mixing board. It will be reusable and won't let anything absorb into it . Keep up the good work 👏
22:36 NO where NEAR the amount of welds you need for that roof and quarter to hold correctly. The flex is going to crack all the hard work or worse pop out. Come on guys. No short cuts. Do it properly or give it to someone who can.
lol i just worked out its a Aluminum Repair filler they are using as well
I like the older hardner that was like the filler but a different color .the car is looking good guys congrats on the work
You guys are on the home stretch!! I think this will come together better than you think. Do a review on those tires when you get back from the drag and drive, I’ve been thinking about running those. I’ve got M/T drag radial pros on my 67 but i would like to know how well the nittos hook up. Good luck guys, Can’t wait til next Tuesday! ❤️
Hey you two, retired body man from Liz's home country. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I don't think you have the 1/4 to roof welded on anywhere good enough.. Looks like a few tacks and that's no where near enough weld. Keep an eye on it on your trip, but I think you'll want to grind and weld that more before final paint.
By the way, great project and color , black cars suck when you own it.
The roof to quarters need to be fully welded.
Yeap, need better welding.. love my black cars..high maintenance, but if you keep it clean.. unmatched
@@hectorraigosa7149you have to wash a black car everyday to keep them looking clean...to much maintenance but looks good
I used to always wear a neck brace. They really give you great support.
"Smash it with a sledge hammer" 😂 Easy there Danny tap tap tap it into place 😅
My dad used a piece of sheet metal for years,to mix bondo on. I think it may have been aluminum.Just wipe it off with lacquer thinner,or a d.a. if you get sidetracked.lol. used a piece of glass for a while also. Try putting some brown in your clear and you can darken it with more coats of clear!!
ok this weeks safely tip. roll the bottom of the dash around a piece of 1 1/2 tubing so there are no sharp edges. dont ask me know i know about this. please listen.
You guys are killin it, the car looks amazing 🤩. Can't wait to see it at the track 😄. Thanks for sharing 😊.
Awesome job! I can't wait to see the aluminum exhaust installed.
Card board should never be used for mixing on because sucks solvents in resins out of your base and pulls the hardner catalysts out and effects the ratio mixture could cause hot spots and cold spots where the base can be soft and gooey in areas and harden more in others. So always mix on hard surface with no porosity. FYI
lol i just worked out its a Aluminum Repair filler
Good luck on finishing the Charger on time. It's looking good so far.
Come a long way. Almost at the finish line. Charger's coming along & looking good. Love the way the car looks in black. Maybe when you tire of the gold. Im an old guy. I always think safety first. Most of your viewers are older but concerned for the younger ones. Please...gloves, safety googles, steel toe boots, etc.& speaking to safety so they understand it should always be a priority.
Hope you finish in time for the rally. Curious to see the car's performance.
Blessings from Texas...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You guy have come so far in such a short time with the charger. It's amazing how you can deal with both having full time jobs, and a TH-cam channel, and build some amazing cars! You both are amazing to say the least! I get paid first of the month being retired military, so I will buy another shirt for sure!
Gold doesn't look bad! I see what you mean Liv. Enjoy watching you jump in and spread bondo! Your not afraid. Danny is a good teacher.
Excellent progress on the Charger!
Yeah that looks good. Cant wait to see when you finalize to the darker more gold, redish, brown color its going to be pretty unique looking. The color on pipe was pretty close if you add red in that color combo youll be really close to what your looking for. That gold you have on the car right now looks good but not so much for the theme your looking for. Yeah get the body work all done painted and cleared will be beautiful brosuf, and brosette.
That shade of gold is perfect! 👌👌👌
I agree, it more resembles the gold of that era. It looks GREAT!
I think Anti-gravity makes a light weight group 78/34 battery....but they are like $1000 😐 I love that tone of gold!!! Its gonna look amazing! Does it have flake in it?! Final stretch - lets goooooo!!!!
You both did a fabulous job on the car. I’m happy 4 you all keep it up
Yeah man just eat more tacos...you'll grow into the fire suit jacket.
Battery mart, dynamic batt. I use these in my hot rod with no problems
That alternate shade of gold with more copper in it would be really stunning and unique. It recalls the bronze color they painted the turbine cars. And it does look more like rum as well.
Such a great Team! Good job.
Thanks!
You're too generous Justin. Thank you for your continual support
@@GnarlySpeedShop I’m looking forward to the progress on the charger but m really looking forward to the content that’s gonna come from the drag and drive event. Can’t wait! ❤️ love you guys!
I think that shade of gold looks real nice.
A small scale is a very good investment for mixing filler and adhesives. They aren't expensive on Amazon, I just saw one for $30. You will save a lot of time and materials using one, you'll get better results too.
You need to do both front fenders for the rally looks bad ass you guys Rock.
When you're building the best Mopar ever,it's going to cost you, it's the nature of the Mopar beast.
The collar is on backwards .
Charger looking.awesome 30.days no problem ! Good luck 👍🏼👍🏼
Looking awesome, you guys nailed the color. I love that gold. I had a 70 442 and the color was close to that. I also received my Rum Runner’s shirt and it’s awesome as well. You guys are a real good team.
Yes Sir!!!
Gold is appropriate because that`s what it costs on these Mopars.
Great job you two Danny and Liv be glad to see this ol RUM RUNNER GIRL when shes done it does deserve to be finished too i,m noticing you don,t have a ford always GM,s DODGES you need a ol Mavrick LIV or FALCON maybe ? what do you think ?
Can't wait to see the whole car in gold! That gold is perfect! It will be a great color to lay in those curves with the crazy shade flop on it.
Lookin good,I’m betting you’ll make it by keeping up the enthusiasm and there’s always chapter 11😊
Normally i'm not a huge gold fan but that's growing on me, the charger is really shaping up, good job!
Please use the required safety gear, not just for racing but in the shop when working with chemicals. I watch a super nice guy on TH-cam, who does really nice restorations. He had to have a liver transplant because he didn't protect himself from solvents. And now he has kidney troubles too. Some of those chemicals are really nasty. Trust me, you do NOT want to get cancer. I really enjoy your channel, would like you to still be around in another 40 years so my grandson can watch. Loving the Charger build, but tri-five Chevies are my favorite of all. All the best to you both.
Hey Liv. I ❤ that you are doing the work. Granted your 1st attempt at body filler failed, don't be dis outraged. My first bondo experience was a disaster. Now it's second nature. Keep doing it ❤😊😊
My opinion would be Gold body,Black Hood and Black stripe around the rear like on a Super Bee But with a Gnarly Speed shop logo Instead of the Super Bee Logo.
Outstanding AF keep up the good work!!🇺🇸💪🇺🇸🏁
I love me some Mopar!!! Thanks for bringing us along and sharing your progress!!!!
Cars coming along great i didn't think you would make it but I'm rethinking that.... great job guys, gals yall are doing a great job really enjoying this build....i don't care for dodges but always liked these chargers because of ( dukes of Hazzard ) and ita a tuff looking body style
I loved seeing the Black half. So Hot. Gloss Black or semi gloss with a Flat black hood. The Gold is nice great job it reminds me of a Dodge Dart color I once worked with. It will look great with the right paint either way keep up the Great work and sharing it with us. Loving the editing and music by the way.
I can tell you from experience that big block torque + drag radials + rain can be sketchy…
Even with no experience I can tell them that
@@4Kandlez😂😂😂
Lots of progress on the charger and it is coming together nicely. Keep up the good work 🤙
BMW u57 Ontario gold,,, maybe. 😊
Love the progress! Super exciting to see everything moving forward for ya
Great job. I have been enjoying the build. Thanks for the entertainment.
Hey guys that car looks great from what it was to now ya!ll have really knock it out of the park great job.
Thanks for the video Danny and Olivia The paint is going to be cool 😎. Thanks for sharing! 💯👊👍
1970 Pontiac Baja Gold.. it's gold with a brown tint. Just a few shades less than a copper color.There's also Pontiac Coronado Gold ...very similar with just a little more brown hue.
The window weight will bring that door gap to where it needs to be! The current gap is close to where it needs to before windows add.
The car is looking great almost as good as Olivia!
Use a cream hardner in the bondo. never liked clear liquid hardner. cream hardner changes the color so you can see the difference.
its a Aluminum Repair filler lol
3 to 1 it doesn’t make it on the run. Hope it does. Monumental task
The color that you're looking for is a Corvette color and it's called Daytona Sunset. Or if you want it a little brighter you can go with Atomic Orange which is another Corvette color.
Great job, love watching it come together. Reminds me of my first car, a 68 charger I rebuilt it in 78, after jus 10 years it was laid to rest in a cow lot. Where I found it
James Bond - Goldfinger
Austin Powers - Goldmember
Gnarly Speedshop - Goldfender
😄
Here's a thought about your paint. Try tinting some clearcoat, with dark brown and spray it over the gold. Might help with the. Liquid affect.
Replace the fender go with new one to be perfect don't leave one piece junk fender
My 70 Mach 1 is chestnut metallic which would look awesome on the charger. The color really works very well with black, it is here on my user pic icon
Looks Awesome, great job guys......Cheers!!
Good looking car GNARLY group. I like the GOLD concept..
You need to weld completely the guarter panels to the roof, spot welds will break in no time the charger is unibody and that area is structural, important,you don’t fully weld it the car will buckle at the rear, retired body man and 68 charger R/T owner, mixing bondo on cardboard is a no no use glass, aluminum, I see you already bondo the 1/4 panels,just remember what I mentioned.
That's exactly what I saw too, it's barely stuck! , this is really far too little, you need a 2cm weld every 3cm. Greetz from the Netherlands
@@unclesheavy769 i 3rd that
lol i just worked out its a Aluminum Repair filler
Hey guys for your body fillers find a couple off old ceramic tiles or perspex to mix on easy to clean when your done
The welding on the roof at 22:37 where the quarter panel is attached to, is really far too little, it breaks loose. You need to weld completely the quarter panels to the roof. Greetz Ches from the Netherlands
lol i just worked out its a Aluminum Repair filler they are using as well
Two tone black n gold cool
A great entertaining video! You guys are doing a fantastic job! I’m truly glad to have subscribed to your channel! You’re going in the right direction and I can’t wait for the next chapter!
Thanks so much
@@GnarlySpeedShop [O]Liv[ia] and Danny, clearly You two are still very busy with significant time, efforts, work involved in continuing toward achieving this "Rum Runner" 1968 Charger BBE Drag & Drive racing vehicle project to be ready to participate in the event next month in Northern California, Oregon; as You participated with [O]Liv[ia]'s 1967 LeMans last year.
The vehicle is coming together very well with the stated, obvious remaining work required and goal to be running, functioning within two weeks to then have enough time to use the vehicle locally, etc. to verify it functional to drive the 900 miles to the event, then within the event competition, and return back.
It seems that You will achieve these results, as planned, needed, hopefully within the time frame and level that You desire.
Am looking forward to seeing the video next week with showing Your process, accomplishments, functionality.
The single color also with the one front quarter panel in a glimmer gold certainly looks better than previously. Also see what [O]Liv[ia] described about the quarter panel as a gold tooth of a pirate - > "Rum Runner".
Since You have participated in that event last year in September, You are well aware of the long drive, sun, heat from SoCal to NoCal, along with the weather during the event too. Certainly You are aware of the conditions driving the 1967 LeMans which also does not have air conditioning, but has a rather light blue paint with patina surface, thus does not absorb so much of the sun rays, rather reflects much too. Thus, the black paint will certainly absorb very significantly, much more heat from the sun, thus the passenger compartment will certainly be much hotter. then adding the larger heat from the BBE will increase the heat too. Also the trunk lid, top of rear quarter panels will absorb the sun's ray, heat up, thus also the trunk space which contains the large fuel cell will also become quite hot, such the fuel will also. That can also result in issues with fuel pressure reduction, especially with normal fuel station unleaded fuel.
If You could, would find some easy way to cover the black paint by lighter colr paint or a simple wrap as the chrome/silver purchased to cover the fiber-glass bumpers, then the reduction of heat by reflection in place of significant absorption, will have very profound, significant affects, results, improvement. Perhap You could even fiind a wrap which is suitable to a rum color with glimmer, sparkle too.
In addition, if the fuel system including carburetor, fuel lines were modified to handle E-85, high ethanol fuel, the reliable performance with far less carbon deposits, better temperature, more consistent fuel, especially with any C-85/85% - 98 % ethanol would certainly be much better and less expensive for the long drive(s) though it will use more fuel.
Am certainy that after You will return from the event, You will mange to combine the paints to achieve Your desired, specific "Rum" color too.
Another suggestion: perhaps You would consider to have the paint to appear as the shown "rum" color during daylight, and as "dark rum" at night ?
Also another suggestion about the shirt material color. The white shirt material are very nice, bright, especially during summer. However, white is not always very practical for everyone. The light grey "O'Reilly" shirt that [O]Liv[ia] wore, seen in the later portion of this video, is a much more versatile shirt material color. Also various shades of blue form light to medium or navy along with various shades of grey to medium. They are certainly better than black, since black absorbs so much sun, thus are full with heat. You might also consider a specific shirt color for "Rum Runner" similar with rum or a tan too. Other pastels can also be useful too.
Perhaps You can arrange to have a personal ink printer to custom print Your shirts, or work with some others, especially within SoCal and elsewhere among many platform channels too.
All The Best 😊, Sincerely ☺
I would use a large adjustable wrench to bend down that bump in the upper grille support plate.
Danny...plz revisit the welds...and make it right...this big block will tear that body up.....needs more than just the pinch welds.
its abit scary for sure i just did video about this
The back is really good
The car is getting there I think the copper color on the pipe would be closer to a Rum color but I know it looks different in person. Yall can do it.
Good work yall!
GO Olivia!
Wow, that fiberglass front bumper will do squat in an accident. You sure you want to risk it?
👍👍👍
Gonna be a performer Mopar 💪✌️
Try firepower for your battery. They make great ones for dirt bikes and such. Not sure about cars.
You need to make your merch available worldwide,on your site it only has US and Canada
Mix on plastic board or metal
Cardboard absorbs
Ya please tell all of us that the body work is totally temporary , and make it known that body work and welding is not your forte , cream hardener for the win and fiber filler
I gave away nitto tires.. basically new that were on foose wheels I couldn't look at. Very popular wheels, just not my taste..
❤👍👍 keep going!!
Thanks for your awesomeness.
Your pipe fittings for your water pump to the radiator need to have some kind short rubber hose for movement ... I know you have solid motor mounts, but there is movement, and you will crack one of your fittings. Just saying ....
I like the gold color or whatever shade you guys decide to use, but a little black color on maybe the top panels front to back or just keep the front grill and rear tail light area blacked out to give it some more contrast?
😮
I heard of antigravity battery from another channel, they are supposed to be light but expensive.
Yay! It's no longer orange! 🍹
So I see your daughter is helping you with your car
Test those balls in some fuel, make sure they do not melt. Did you order the glass you'll need yet ? I'd be worried about the delivery time.
Absolutely test as wiffle balls are known to melt in high octane gas conditions. This was an old trick back in the 60s TransAm series but the balls were a different compound back then.
That bondos not going to keep the rear quarter attached to the roof!! Those few Tack welds are not good for any strength. Any amount of horsepower could cause torque twist and them spot welds will let loose and the bondo will crack. Your choice on how to correct, but It should be welded complete. Originally, that seam was probably leaded in.
When mixing paint and body filler quick guide should be my old buddy Robby Layton , Mr blow tach and static , oh ya how are the other things going also you used the wrong type of hardener ?
lol i just worked out its a Aluminum Repair filler
