Michelle, I don’t care if you don’t know the name of car parts, although the segments are always fun. You’re awesome enough at keeping everyone pointed in the right direction and managing the channel. Thank you and all the Fab Rats. Good stuff.

**AMEN!!!**

[@jdhorton1432]

OMG! 😃 Absolutely LOVE "name that part with Michelle!" She's awesome! Love her creative brain! What a great sport! 👍🏾

[@ldm694]

Yes the " name that part with Michelle" are great 👍

[@4PeTe2]

Michele needs to visit 'Vice Grip Garage' to get some pointers on (re)naming parts. Headers and disc brakes are a must and maybe fuel injection to avoid carburetor woes. New front end parts to be added as needed to give it that squeaky new feel.

[@bruceday6799]

So you got a bzzzz when she answers wrong, where's the ding, ding, ding when she's right?

[@jasoncondie6261]

It should be called " re-name this part with Michelle!" It's very entertaining! Keep up the great work Michelle!

[@MadMathMike]

I love the "Name That Part" segment! Thanks for being a great sport, Michelle! 😂

[@petehenry7878]

Hey Paul, at 8:16 that part that you're massaging is the collector. The part you told Michelle was a collector is an adapter.

[@DaddyBeanDaddyBean]

I like classic car mods that could have been done when the car was new. Headers and disc brakes existed at the time, so I'm totally fine with these changes. I'm also totally fine with the owner of a car doing whatever the hell he wants with his own car, so the critics can go pound sand. 😂

[@billtheunjust]

As far as I'm concerned headers and disc brakes are a good change on any car that is going to be driven.

[@stanstenson8168]

I put front disks on my Chevelle. One of the best things I ever did to it.

[@evilbrat5376]

The Only One that has the right to be critical of that car is Paul. His is the one doing the work and Michelle naming them, well sorta. [How do you come up with these names asks Paul.] 😂

[@ronaldlewis6612]

I was just going to say the same thing. Thanks for saving me the time.

[@timothygeiger8271]

I do agree with what you said for the most part. I will say upfront, i don't have any issues with these upgrades. I definitely wouldn't change the powertrain.The only reason i don't like changing too much on a car like that is, i just don't like to see the nostalgic & classic collectors aspect going down the tubes with some modifications. These older Firebirds that are original like this one are definitely going to be in high demand by collectors, especially since GM stopped making Firebirds. Have you priced what a 1978 Firebird Trans Am is going for these days? Over $41,000 for a car that is stock & in mint condition. I know Paul doesn't have any intentions on selling this car, frankly i wouldn't sell either. The thing is, getting as popular as FabRats is becoming on KZbin, serious collectors will definitely here about the car, keeping it as close to stock as possible will make him appeal more favorably to serious collectors & could eventually lead to more sweet deals & "barn finds" like this one. I love watching this channel because of the clean down to earth home type atmosphere. He definitely finds some sweet deals, & great potential in some cars.

Welcome to "Re-name that part" with Miss Michelle. Love the Firebird!

[@rong-man1502]

My buddy somehow came across an original Shelby and parked it outside at his parents house. Warm weather turned to COLD weather. He wanted to just show us what it would do, so he fired it up and pulled it out onto the road. After letting the engine “warm up” for maybe thirty seconds (after letting it sit outside in below freezing temps for several weeks), he proceeded to tack it up and do a hefty burnout. I died inside. When Paul did the burnout with this Firebird, my thoughts instantly went back 30+ years to that lousy winter day and felt my stomach churn (again).

[@evanrmoon]

I appreciate seeing the kids in the shop more and more and showing some interest in fabricating.

[@theusconstitution1776]

Does my heart a world of good to see dad and the boys working together even on different projects but working together ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the boys will learn directly from Paul they will also pick up his work ethics and without even studying these boys are gonna be expert mechanics by the time they’re 18❤️❤️❤️ GREAT JOB DAD❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bartarkis]

I was thinking about the generational leap in shop and tools. Paul learned with his dad's tools on dirt and jackstands. Then went to shop and lifts. With the interest the kids are showing, I wonder where they will take it? Thanks Paul and Michelle. If you are going to have children, pay attention to them, spend time, be consistent, have a plan (maybe even write it down). It will be worth it.

[@oneshotpete6.591]

[@BikingVikingHH]

Very true. My whole life my dad didn’t teach me anything, do anything with me besides about 20 minutes of multiplication tables in 1996. I am 37 and still trying to piece together how the world works. Take pride in your children people, they need it.

[@bartarkis]

@@BikingVikingHH I'll pass along a piece of info I heard from Jordan Peterson. If it makes you feel complete, happy, joyous, fullfilled... notice it. It is what you are built to do. Find a life that allows you to work that direction every day. I have told my kids to figure out who you are and be the best you possible. I didn't tell them how to figure out who they are (they are doing pretty well) but JP's advice will get them farther along and help them narrow it down. Do what you can today and make a list for tomorrow and the future. I also add, find out who your cheerleaders are and keep them around (even if it is by phone). Hang around people you learn things from. Learn from the past, don't live in it. Try something positive and new every chance you get (notice an invitation).

[@kennithompson2398]

I love the way that car sounds!!! It sounds right! Good, good job!! Hey, Michelle, you just keep naming those parts anything you want! My mom pulled the engine out of my dad's race car to help him. TaaDaa! All went well until she couldn't get the "git by" to work. She called his work crying, cause she was a bit frustrated. His boss told him to go home and help her. Any man that has a wife that will pull an engine for him had better get home and treat her right!! Oh yeah, the "git by" turned out to be the electric chain hoist! He did get to race that night. God bless ya'll! And thanks for the memories!

[@blastingweevil2968]

i am all for keeping thing original but when it comes to brakes or other modern saftey or quality of life upgrades or improvements i say go for it you make the car more driveable and reliable. its not like you chopping anything or making the car look ugly it still looks great, now it will ride great.

[@willb3018]

Disc brake conversion makes sense. I have a 63 Ford Galaxie 427 that had drums and no power assist. . The thing weighs almost 4000 pounds exactly with a full tank of gas. You needed to make an appointment to stop the thing. Converted it to front discs. Made all the difference in the world even with no power. For safety, also added a dual pot master cylinder. Unless you are doing AACA stuff, no reason not to do things for safety/better driveability. The drums and the original master cylinder are boxed up to go with the car when the time comes. Added a Detroit Trutrac as well.

[@szcustomwoodworks6401]

My life feels more complete now that we've seen the Firebird do a good burnout!!!!

[@alanalzee4849]

I knew it was part of the family when you put a towel on the fender to protect the paint, I thought to myself that Firebird is not going anywhere, nice work great video 👍

[@chuckcts-v3460]

The whole under carriage and body are in almost new condition, amazing for being that old. Freiburger, Hot Rod Magazine, did a dyno test before and after hammer denting headers like you did. Dyno said there was no power reduction by altering headers this way. He had more dents, than the minor dents that you did. What a great car, nice to see it in the care of a real gear head.

[@bbb462cid]

First thing I did to brand new, thick flange 7/8 primary headers was dent the shit out of them where the steering was so I could install. Never regretted, never a problem. SOP.

[@lugnuts7800]

Great editing! I love the karaoke bit. Michelle is a rock star.

[@denniscleveland669]

One of my brothers, had a 68 with a 400, 4 barrel, 4 speed, posi. It was awesome! One of my other brothers, had a 70 Mustang Mach I, with a 351 Cleveland, 4 barrel, close ratio 4 speed, posi. It sounded way cooler than the “Blat” sound they make nowadays.

Paul, watching that burn out brought back memories, my '67 bird had the 400 HO and it could literally burn the tires right off.

Back in the late 70s/early 80s when metric sockets started to be included in some sets, the 14mm sockets were handy for taking off rounded/rusty Chevy exhaust bolts. 14mm is just a smidge smaller than a 9/16, which grabbed the hex a lot tighter. We made stuff work with whatever we had :)

The new exhaust makes that car sound classic! The new gears and brakes will make the car safer and easier to use. I like these types of modifications. I watch Goonzquad and they always end up modifying everything even if it doesn't make any sense.

That is exactly where I would have started at. My problem is I don’t know when to stop. Power adders are great 👍. Now you and Michelle can one day sit back and watch your kid’s do burnouts and enjoy a piece of history.

You guys are hilarious.... 😀 with the Breaking news interjection and Michelle's part-naming, and Paul's crafty fabrication... love it.

It will forever be known as the “the rod of the wheel” ! Brilliant

Paul: “we’re going to massage it, looks good!” Landon: “ after you beat the crap out of it!”

[@rickcampbell9265]

Had to make clearance for "Clarence"!

Never wrong to make brake upgrades!! It MIGHT be wrong to send ‘Chelle to NAPA, or Rock Auto’s website (or Dunkin Donuts)

"Paul wanted dount holes or whole doughnuts ?" Said Michelle. Thats awesome.

I've always wanted to see the procedure of a rear end being put back together. Thanks for that Paul.

This channel along with Matt’s and Robby’s takes me back to my childhood in Southern Utah. Great scenery. Thank you all.

Awesome car Paul!! Check mark burn outs are a positive traction trade mark...Growing up in the 60's and 70's was the best!! I appreciated every bit of it. ✌

Pretty sure the firebird will be a car the boys tell their grandkids about when they're old! Nice to see it doesn't take the car 2 miles to get up to speed now!

Michelle I love your creative editing. Great job on naming parts. LOL!
