[@jamesbarantor7094]

I think the towrolla deserves a little love given it's service. might be time to weld up a front end pusher on there lol.

[@andrebrooks7040]

Yes!

[@e3672222]

It’s gotta be time

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

I'm pretty sure Puddin said in a video a few weeks ago, that the transmission was starting to slip... Might be time to build a Towrola 2.0!

[@spencerdauphine970]

I've been waiting on this for years!

[@peter-pg5yc]

agreed

[@MikeOcampo-ql3mw]

I am a gearhead, and that's why I love your channel. But I am a dog lover as well. Theo looked healthier after a couple of weeks, but now he is energetic and playful...and YOUR "Velcro" dog! You are both blessed to have found each other! If you dumped him 100 miles away, he would make his way home to you. Enjoy him, you are his (hero) person. I know you adopted him for the kids, but YOU are his world. Thank you for giving him a home. That made you BOTH happy! Yours truly, DogDad1962.

[@jwfinley7808]

A gear head thats funny

[@jwfinley7808]

Whats a gear head a TV show

[@jwfinley7808]

I know someone who says hes a gear head? Too much TV.

[@storageprospector6468]

Slick 50 personality shines when he's around you Puddin. He needs more of it on his channel.

[@miltonsteele6676]

i agree 100%

[@-MagicScorpion]

Puddin brings out the best in people.

[@kerrypierre9494]

Yep, he seems more relaxed 👍🙂

[@PATTERSONBUILT]

He’s a shy guy

[@grantkoeller8911]

true best friends

[@jessemillsap9387]

Honestly, the Tow-Rolla deserves more respect. It certainly deserves an episode with major maintenance and upgrades.

[@rogerpeter6859]

Finally Puddin and Slick working on the Pontiac parts shelf!

[@davidmiller6726]

Theo loves you, Jacob! Thank you for giving him a great home, and loving him back to health! Really enjoyed this episode with Slick!

[@rockyfbenedetto2029]

Absolutely 😊

[@Mongo_1911]

Had a bad day today with my depression, but you guys made me laugh so much with them U-Bolts!! Love you guys and your friendship!

[@jeremiewampler]

Mondays are always better with these 2, can easily make a bad day tolerable

[@skeptical5803]

Sorry you're gong through some stuff. I am too. Today I'm avoiding sugar and fasted(food) until dinner. Only black coffee and water until about 7:00 pm. Definitely going to avoid alcohol tonight too. I wish you the best!

[@telecasteroil]

Be strong bud, feel better.

[@djpoopypants4741]

I got it too. 20 years. I don’t ever mention it

[@JonathanWhoever]

Keep going! Even when ya can't!

[@josephhaynie4398]

Jacob is far as I'm concerned. You're the king of KZbin. Thank you so much for doing what you do.

[@anarky4711]

You know you got a good dog when you can grab his chew bone and not lose your hand. Theo passes with flying colors.

[@AdamJ09303]

Just like any pitbull. People make them out to be bad but they are the most loyal dogs ever. Nobody will ever change my mind.

[@anarky4711]

@awj918 Dex and Lucy are the two Pitts in my Pic. The only vicious attack I ever saw either one do was the first time Dex saw me under the hood of my car. Apparently, he thought the car was eating me. So he attacked anything on the car that he could fit in his mouth.

[@rabidcoyote97]

You guys did a fantastic job! Nice to see the old short wide again too!

[@bergie67]

I've been waiting for this episode since Slicks car arrived. Can't wait for the next installment!!!

[@rickotte2120]

I liked that shout out to DD speed shop!!! He likes to get them on the road like you!! My two favorite channels

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

I know that it's the wrong year, but I think Jim Rockford would approve of this car. R.I.P. James Garner a fellow Oklahoman.

[@draglinemazda]

Since theo has become part of the channel, my 2 y/o pup watches your episodes with me.

[@brettsairgent577]

I don't think Theo has ever been this happy in his life bless him .great job guys it looks brilliant

[@Richardskull]

I have a 67 camaro. They came from factory mono leaf. I’d imagine the Pontiac was the same. Only year like that was 67! Useless information,but if someone is looking for a factory 67 it might help verify the year! Nice car slick! Hope it continues to be passed down your family line! God bless!

[@dennisonbrower7680]

My ‘68 camaro is monoleaf as well

[@HaynesJP]

Two best friends doing what they love. Puddin and Slick together makes the best video. ❤

[@Tristar_soles2.0]

Ive never looked forward to mondays til i found puddin fab shop!

[@antonioterceira7103]

For real! The first KZbinr I actually look forward to watching every week

[@joelg4849]

His uploads come through at 9am Tuesday for me, which is great as I get to watch 30 minutes of it at my desk before boring online meetings

[@Washedintheblood1988]

Mondays 6pm central time. I've watched for years I think he was only late once or twice

[@devinculbertson9928]

Same I’m glad he does Mondays instead of Fridays like polebarn and toms refurb hard to keep up

[@-MagicScorpion]

me too.

[@Atodaso-pg9kq]

The next vehicle that goes through Puddin’s Xtreme 4x4 Garage should be the Towrolla. Just picture that sitting next to the Benz, I can’t wait for it to be driving down the road it’s so sick! Also the Firebird look amazing!

[@fordmane]

Hey buddy you've inspired me so much I am building for my high school truck in 1973 Ford F100 I just bought a 1976 Ford highboy that I saved up money for to swap over all the cross members and everything to my 1973 have a good day buddy

[@staceymccloud6]

One heck of a budget transformation. Ty for polishing the rears.

[@paulriggers1558]

it ain't no fire-turd no more... well done chaps, slick's mama will love it...

[@-MagicScorpion]

And if she don't, I'll buy it.

[@stevelangston2359]

Stayed with it till the d and it was a pleasure! Everyone needs good friends like that!!!!!!

[@andymfilms]

Puddin” do you like snakes?”🐍🐍 Slick Fiddy ” No let’s set the car on fire” Hahahahahaha🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐍

[@user-fd4kn5eh2u]

The Towrolla needs some LOVE! How about a special exo-skeleton for the front end designed to take MORE impact? It needs 2 winches, as well, and more lights!

[@ChrisZemek]

Hot Damn!!! About time ya'll do something with Slick's Firebird.

[@QuantumTime-pc9ts]

The stance, the body lines, the wheels, and color all look pretty darn good.

[@robertwilliams8010]

Heck ya the Oklahoma Wild Man with Slick Fitty in a two hour marathon!!!!! Life is good on Puddin Mondays👍‼️💯🙏

[@masterskustoms3951]

Car turned out awesome. The dynamic of you and slick is awesome. Adding Randy was definitely a smart move

[@bryanomicioli3301]

So that rear end is a 68-69 rear axle for multi leafs. They welded that spacer on so they could use the original mono leafs. It’s a 67 only thing

[@Papaw_Vin]

She turned out nice fellas. One of my favorite cars. That color and rim combo is just right.

[@PaPawsWorkShop]

It’s not just Pontiac, it was all GM vehicles back in the day. I cut my car teeth at a General Motors dealership in the 70s and brackets,adapters,shims and long screws and bolts were all necessary to build these vehicles. Check out the core support mounting area. Unbelievable amount of adjustment 😂. The old guys always said that GM couldn’t build without shims and they had shims everywhere!

[@rockkhound943]

They were engineered this way on purpose. Would have cost unbelievable amounts in tooling to make everything fit so precise. Made more sense to engineer in adjustment with use of shims . Was quite smart but all early vehicles were like this and some are still today .

[@ni_wink84]

Man if this isn’t exactly the truth! 😂

[@PaPawsWorkShop]

Yeah, I heard that while training in GM tech school🤣 it really had more to do with using the same platform between 4 different automotive brands under the General Motors banner😁

[@paulgibbons7338]

Nothing better than watching a close group of friends working on a car awesome job 🎉🎉😊

[@Randydaudt]

The Classical piano background music fits your suspension endeavors perfectly!

[@kenvangoe9358]

There is nothing like working on a project with your friends Puddin and Slick and Randy fit the situation. Glad you both decided to get the bird project in gear. Still lots of trim and interior stuff to finish but it's going to be a driving car . Be careful and stay safe my friends God love ya.

[@daytonstokes6900]

I am stoked for slick 50

[@chrisc9630]

After months of grinding I’m FINALLY caught up to the uploads. Stoked to be here with you all 😂

[@alexibarra4675]

From Minitrucks to Monster Trucks? I’m in 😂😂

[@beardedscrapper538]

Glad to see it coming along. The smile on slicks face was definitely worth it.

[@completefemboyr.n.g1308]

I spent 8 hours at work today I got to spend 6 hours at work tomorrow, Puddin and Slick make it worth it!!

[@nateludy6749]

I think it turned out pretty good. That will be a nice fun driver.

[@adamkenney8834]

Pudding and Slick the dastardly duo back in action I love it

[@urbanurchin5930]

Puddin is the name on the channel.......pudding is something you feed to children for dessert ...... dolt .

[@jwoody8582]

Please give the Towrolla some love soon. She needs front end work

[@Orbacron]

Respect to a classic build, and paint!

[@grumpyoldman495]

It's good to see the Dynamic Duo, back in action on some good old-fashioned repair and build projects!

[@user-yd9pf9im3v]

Theo is living his best life !!!!

[@arizonasprinklerpros]

Wow! Thats some serious progress for a week of work! You guys make an impressive trio.

[@bcbullcrap357]

You all should of painted it like those 1950 planes with the shark mouth. You guys still knocked it out of the park with all that pep in your step. Right on you all helped slick with his family legacy. Wish I was involved. Maybe your next giveaway it could be a project with you. Get some!

[@Young937phoenix]

That turned out good!! Now time to see the interior get done up.

[@jeffbeckley5044]

FINALLY!!! Back with some flamechicken action!!!

[@JohnSmith-is8nq]

lmfao Pontiac FlameChicken.

[@NASTYcraftX]

She is way more gooder. Great job guys.

[@Mister006]

Man, this is a GOOD ONE!!! GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD PUPPY, and making it work!

[@millsap40]

living the dream in a great shop working on cars with your buds can't get no better than that

[@PAVEMENTMOD]

Didn't anyone ever teach you the old Oklahoma threaded rod and 2 nut trick? You run the threaded rod through the cavity for the a-arm bushings with the two nuts on the inside (with washers against the outer surfaces) then you use the nuts to spread the opening and slide the new a-arms in place!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

Great color choice. Besides 67 and 68 birds are pure gold in my book

[@J.JMcClure-wc9yh]

PUDDIN and SLICK 50! Monday night became awesome!! Hello North Dakota mad man Mortske! Your residents is coming along Nicely

[@crkproductions5000]

Moon night sonata is excellent music for working on cars. It gives the process drama and adds to the romantic nature of automotive work.

[@danielhughes9556]

I'm not even a firebird/Camaro fan. but man I've been waiting to see y'all work on that thing. I'd prefer the rallys', but that's just me! Cmon!

[@jamesshonk565]

Good to see ya working on the ol bird.

[@tfoley455]

I love everything you build but I have been looking forward to this build

[@jamesrobbins8938]

White pinstripe on the side like the original factory.... Two white stripes on top 😎😎😎 looks great... good job

[@StrangeDrk]

Pudding Time!, The TowRollas looking well used. Never noticed my s-10 shirt said fab shop fab shop

[@urbanurchin5930]

.... ??? .....what is "pudding time" ? is that when you feed pudding to children for dessert ? Too stupid to know the name is Puddin's Fab Shop ......not pudding .....dolt .

[@staceymccloud6]

Aint nothing better than a puddin/ slick 50 video. You two working shoulder to shoulder are my favorite videos. Outside of slo- mo powerwashing clips...lol. can you, pudding, spot a couple of bays for ole slick? Get him outta that shed he's in. Think about it. It would be mutual beneficial for both parties. Puddin...you need an extra hand at times. We all do, bro. Slick can still do his own thing. Think about it.

[@bradlobdell]

Stock ride height is clearly superior in most situations. Fight the lowering pressure!

[@user-427.commodore]

Low an slow... Baby.. 😊

[@davidhelmuth6654]

Slick talked about the front end had a kit. That may be true, or it could be from a donor car. I had a 68 Malibu that I put a 74 Monty Carlo front end to have disc brakes. Love seeing you two messing around in the shop. It comes off as a lot of fun for you two, I know it’s good for at least me. 😬👍

[@kerrypierre9494]

Do we really need an almost two and half hour video of Puddin and Slick working on a cool old firebird???? Yes,Yes we do 😁 Love the longer episodes Puddin, especially when you have Slick or Bill with you. The banter between you guys just works. Love the first gen firebird. Great job fellas she looks tough.👌🤘👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nateb8245]

Thanks for showing folks a project that is within the reach of most car guys. Even a very desirable car doesn’t have to be a show rig.

Bird Bird Bird is the word. Us old timers will get it .

That sunset gold was a beautiful color great job by the "Puddin Team"...And i love to see you and Theo together..He's a blessed pooch..Thanks for the entertainment

[@number7__879]

TOWROLLA!!!!!!! needs attention. You should weld something up so it's not bouncing around.

[@blakeneysanders4264]

That's why I like paint over patina. Thanks for another awesome video.

[@Grundy_nunley]

Definitely looked better with the wheels that was own it slick definitely not a thinker I worked with a guy act just like him half assed everything he only got to work one day

[@rtwpsom2]

I find it amazing that Moonlight Sonata can be used in almost any video setting to make even Puddin' seem more dignified.

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

Yes, I have been waiting to see this! Nothing like a classic Firebird! 😁👍

[@emersonb5764]

Better to have that snake in there than the rodents it’s eating for you :-). Snake won’t stink up the car or chew holes through stuff. Likely just a rat snake. Completely harmless. Even if you messed with one enough to get bit, it’s less severe than a bite from a baby kitten. Nothing to be afraid of. Be afraid of things that can actually hurt you, like ticks or something.

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

I don't know about you, but I've been bit by a baby kitten and it hurt like hell! 😅

[@russelladams6432]

That Firebird turned out sweet. I had my doubts when I saw the paint in the can but it looks way better on the car. Just fits it and is era correct. You guys did an awesome job. Any car guy would be proud to daily that thing.

[@mwb3984]

Rat snake. Prob 3 ft. Skins stretch a lot. She wont hurt you too badly but will make you hurt yourself. You have rodents.

[@b_baker]

Got that OG soundtrack at the end, Miss all the cool little song and dances youd do with the pressure washer and the OG intro song and all that jazz

[@darellsunderlin4670]

I mean, no disrespect at all. Let's be clear, I just meant most youtube vlogers are kinda quiet and shy at first but come out of their shell in a short time when they feel comfortable. I love both of these guys 😊

[@user-sb3vy2pq1d]

I see slicks finally got comfortable with the camera after begin with puddin and then the speed shop Channel he’s commentating and giving instructions so effortlessly.

[@braxtonnelson5375]

The Firebird turned out way nicer than I expected! I think Theo likes it, too.

[@rexkean]

I like it! Still just rough enough to drive, and not be worried about door dings while you're at Taco Boy! Love when friends get together to help on a project!

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

Slick 50 got some paint, Super good looking little pontiac ! !

[@jwfinley7808]

In the 70s those were my favorite wheels!

[@blakegaddis946]

Man, you guys did a fantastic job! Congratulations to Slicks' family getting to see new life being brought back to something that has been a part of their life for so long!

[@TheAmazingDrCheat]

Definitely my favorite project right now lol love Pontiacs and this old car is definitely getting the love it deserves 🔥 🐦 Pontiac power ftw 😀

[@painedinks]

I agree with Eastwood welder being one of the best (price wise) welders I've ever owned or used. Now that I'm thinking about it, everything Eastwood I own has always been top notch. The welder, the fender roller, and brake line flanger have all been some of the best tools I've ever had in quality and ease of usage. They make some good stuff over there.

[@hulanbailey5219]

CAN'T BEEEELIEVE HOW THE BEACK SHINED UP ON THE FIREBIRD ! I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO WOW LIKE THAT . GOOD JOB PUD'N

[@busterturner8702]

It looks fantastic. It's not really even that dinged up. I'd be proud to own and drive that beautiful pontiac.

[@ryannash9582]

Glad you went with the Pontiac Gold for the ‘67. Reminds me a lot of James Rockford’s 1974 Pontiac Firebird from “The Rockford Files.”

[@bilomotosan]

My first "Hot Rod" was a '67 Firebird... This brought back so many memories. Awesome job as usual Puddin...

[@americanrambler4972]

This ‘bird is turning out quite good . The gold is a perfect color choice. I would have gone for a bit more shine to brighten the body lines and metallic sparkle factor, but this is just fine for what you’re going for. That gold shows just how great the style was on these cars from the get go.

[@100PercentYourNeighbor]

You and slick 50 hanging out and working on cool cars is great to watch. You guys crack me up!

[@MrRockinBull]

That would've been fun!!! I'm a retired Body & Paint guy of 43 years of service.. I use to enjoy doing projects like that too! I'm only 3 1/2 hours away, I hope to meet ya some day! I enjoy watching your videos.

[@millguygarage4875]

Me and my buddies were just like this 30 years ago. I really miss those days & late nights. Im down to a couple busy friends & my baby dogs. I really miss my friends 😑

[@garybancroft4976]

@millguygarage4875 I'm right there with you. I'm 65 and been doing a frame change...by myself. Not been a picnic. Sucks getting old

[@jmkoize2512]

Wow. Considering what this looked like starting out, can't believe how sharp it's looking now! I hope Slick can get the interior half caught up and run the wheels offa this Bird!!!

[@jwfinley7808]

And its about time you all are doing something with it!!
