    Paul: "I don't want to take a Benadryl " Also paul: "Watch this" (throws something to rile up the bees...)
  • Hunter, don't let the haters get to you. Welding takes practice and you are improving well. Im self taught, as well, and it took time to get pretty welds. Keep up the good work!

    Man, I love Grandma Lolly!! She is just awesome!! :D I vote that she needs to have 60 seconds minimum each video, could be several clips or just one, but she needs to be in more. She always has something "fun" to say!! Just like my own mom!!!
  • We love grandma lollipop. She is a brilliant woman to have around. Family 1st . Thanks for making us all feel welcomed
  • Hunter is now talking and working like your 20 year old younger version. What a wonderful evolution, hope he's loving the fab work because his future is looking bright. Much love for the whole crew.
  • Much respect for the lady who gave you the truck. I hope she is doing well. 😊
  • Paul, Hunter, Shawn, you can change it if y'all want to, but I noticed that when you installed the fuel cell in the truck the sump is down forward and should be down rearward so when you launch the fuel sloshes to the back and down so the fuel doesn't go away and the pump doesn't stop pumping fuel because the fuel sloshed away from the pick up.
  • Stopped in to the Rat Shack on my way to Lake Powell last week and picked me up the new 4th of July tee shirt and also got a straw hat, a ball cap and some stickers. Got to say hi to grandma Lolly and Hunter. Hunter gave me some tips on how to catch the stripers. Let Hunter know what he told me worked! Thanks again!
  • I love how y'alls new garage has become one giant mechanical engineering hub. You got kids building 3d turbos, cameramen welding mounting pieces, cats, lawn mowers, tractors, RCs, and chopped cars. Really appreciate all the vids.

    Thanks, fabrats, for the videos. It's been a bad week my son was in an auto accident. He broke his femur now has a rod in his legs. Your videos have helped me take my mind off it for a few minutes.
  • That floorboard makes it super simple to remove the tranny. All vehicles should be that accessible. Even the fuel pump in trucks also 😂😂😂 😊
  • Love seeing Grandma Lolly! Good luck with all endeavors! Thanks for sharing 👍
  • So glad that "run what you brung" is a saying in Utah as well as KY. Sean, if you know you know!
  • Keep plenty of fuel in the tank, that sump is designed to point rearward, under acceleration the fuel sloshes to the back and will uncover the pickup when it facing forward like you have it.
  • @tacojcp
    i love the technicality and diagnostic verbiage of blows into fuel pump "oh yeah she's gonna be.... we're good"

    Hunter Brother. Toxic chemicals usually get a lot worse when heated like that. Especially clorinated brake cleaner. It not only makes you sick, the damages to your lungs and bloodstream are permanent. Always keep the air you're breathing as clean as possible. You don't have to smoke to get COPD and it's terrible to live with. You want to have healthy kids someday? Keep your bloodstream as clean and healthy as possible.
  • I must say I’m loving the crew of fab rats right now. Shaun is such a great guy and hunter is starting to step up and is now becoming a great addition to the team other than the camera work. When hunter went on the recovery in Paul’s pick truck that is a family heirloom with his brother it just show how much trust and faith Paul has in him. I like seeing Paul doing stuff but it’s nice to see the others getting screen time and show that there more than capable thanks Helen ❤

    It’s like a pre runner. No windows is more wind resistant. So much fun.
  • You are so sweet Michelle thats why the bees are after you. Great vids.
