Paul I just want to compliment you on instilling the confidence in Grayden to start his own fabrication. The welding suit wearing Grayden brought such a smile to my face. Third generation of Fabricators. Papa Sherm would be so proud

[@hipshot823]

Mary definitely chose the right people to fulfill her late husbands dream to restore those awesome vehicles! Her approval of what you're doing is priceless.

Seeing Mary Pat smiling and giggling and interested in the progress on both the 42 and the firebird was super wholesome. She's definitely an honorary member of the Fab Rats family now.

[@macattack1392]

She has been part of the fam since they met her & then got the beautiful rides. They were there to only get the truck til she likes them enough to offer her high school car up the (trans am*)

[@goopzy1237]

You and Michelle are truly genuinely good people. God bless you both

[@gcslade7487]

It's cool to see the friendship that has developed with Mary and the Cox family. The Rat Rod and especially the Firebird are my favorite vehicles.

[@barrettconkle4488]

Watching your son following in your footsteps brings back so many memories of my son. Thanks for sharing. In a blink of an eye the kids are grown. My youngest is now 38. Now there are a few things he is teaching his Dad. Life is really a full circle.

[@aliceevans3357]

Watching and listening to Graydon is like watching a young Paul working. He is learning so much just by being around it and doing his own projects. Far better than having an electronic device glued to his hand. Watching Mary Pat enjoying those vehicles brought a few tears. Good to see this special lady and knowing she's doing very well. Always great watching fun, family, and adventure with you guys. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@Alaskabuilt_]

You are great people. Glad you have kids and are raising great kids. The world needs it. 🇺🇸💪👍

[@mottavator]

These skills that your son is learning will be in greater demand than any degree he could attain in 4 years of college.

Well that was cool to have Miss Mary Pat there for a bit and to ride in the car and truck.Yes indeed the 42 is coming along well done guy's .

Awesome to see Mary Pat again & nice Paul gave her a ride in the truck . Then you all gave her a ride down memory lane in the ole 67 Firebird. & yes I'm a Marine Corp veteran & salute & thank every veteran present & past on this veterans day 🙏 ❤

Yay! Been wanting to see that nice lady enjoying a ride in the truck again. Warms my heart

Finally she had a good time with those old gems .. Please do film the firebird time to time 😅 its a beauty. 😍

Grayden is rocking it!! So wonderful to see! 🙂

Way to let Grayden explore and learn Pop! All of you Utah people make me want to pack up and move to the desert again. Much love from northern Minnesota.

Grayden welding with his entire body in the welding jacket made me laugh 😂

[@donaldfrazier5244]

Hey fab rat’s thanks for a heart warming morning,and thanks to all of the veterans,without you we wouldn’t have our country!

[@donwilliams3626]

It was such a pleasure to see the delight in Mary Pat's eyes when she rode in David's rat rod. You fixed it up just the way he would have liked it. Too bad she couldn't have driven her car again. I guess she will need to plan another visit to the Cox Family Mansion with its detached garage.

[@mikemullay5622]

That was really special to give MaryPat rides in the Chevy truck and in the Firebird. Just one example of the special folks you are.

[@gmcmahon1982]

I have a feeling that Grayden is going to have his own KZbin Channel soon! Good Job Grayden!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@mikehuven6600]

The 42 is going to more fun then it already is!!! Your family has big hearts!! God did you right

[@dianeenlow123]

It was nice seeing Mary Pat with their old vehicles.

fantastic love seeing the old owners.. even better when they like what you did to their old car..

[@lonniet.2816]

I LOVE THAT FIREBIRD AND TRUCK! SO GLAD SHE WAS ABLE TO GO FOR A RIDE IN BOTH.

[@waterislife.9204]

It's awesome to see the the previous owner ride in both rides. Michelle & Paul you guys are awesome. 🙏🦾

[@s.cottrill]

I’ve been waiting to see her expression in seeing her late husbands truck and see how happy she is when you take her for a ride.

[@kimetherington2252]

Mary was a treat to see, she's such a nice lady! Grayden, oh boy lookout future fabricators, the Cox kids are on the move, the sky's the limit for these young men! No need to worry, The Fab Rats Family legacy will continue! Paul and Ben the 42 is sweet, just wondering if you are going to paint it after it's done? Making it a show stopper just like the Firebird! I love this channel...

[@vwharman]

Man, one of the clear lessons in life, a good parts guy is worth his weight in gold!

[@terrywells3955]

Man I wish she could have driven her old car but I'm sure she wished she Could have too , and I'm sure she shedded a few tears on her journey . Paul and Ben great job guys .

[@stevenwithanS]

It's always fun to watch previous owners reunited with their past rides.

[@larrydavidson3402]

You have a friend for life with Mary, she was all smiles with the two rides. Grayden is going to be fabricator as it's in the DNA.

[@joshmccoy1522]

As soon as you bumped the accelerator, Mary started to smile. So cool.

[@tjtobin86]

You're patience is amazing! You clearly are a busy person and your kid using your space and tools probably interrupted something you were really trying to finish. Instead, you embraced his ambition and curiosity and let him figure it out. Kudos to you!

[@Flyby-1000]

I love that Grayden is following in dad's foot steps.... Nothing more satisfying... My son too just recently started traveling the route of his father, going to a trade school for his FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) License. He's already got his mind set to work for one of the big boys (aka Delta, United, American, Southwest...etc)... He loves the mechanical & electronics side of things, which exactly what these aircraft are now a days... I myself love it, I've been doing it for 25+ years...

[@dennisbailey4296]

I'm really in the old school I did not know they made a spline that was sizable like that!! Hokie shoot that makes things a lot easier! Talk about a nice way to fit your axle lengths! Your doing a great job on your differential work! Really appreciate your expertise and simplified way of putting things together. Most people have oil heated baths for bearings to fit them, but you've got a real feel for the right amount of heat to make it work!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada

[@frcon200340]

I was wondering the same thing. At first I thought "wait, how you gonna get the splines cut back in".. I learn something new everyday

[@evilbrat5376]

Great to see this lady finaly get to ride in her late husbands truck. Believe you and Ben made her happy as all get out doing that for her. What a trip to watch her eyes and expressions. Nicely done guys.

Mary seemed so happy that the vehicles went to such a good home.

JD needs too get off his lazy rear, and strap that ladder down. It is people like him that almost got me killed on my Harley. I came across one paying at an angle across my lane on a corner, in heavy traffic on the interstate. Only by the grace of God did I not go down, and get run over. It is great to see MaryPat get a chance to come by, and see how much you are enjoying the two rigs. Keep up the great work you are doing!

[@Big-chub69]

That was pretty cool that you took out the previous owner's wife Patty with the old hot rod 42 truck and second watching Graydon following his Father's Footsteps that's amazing good job Paul keep up the great work you guys look forward to future videos. "GO FABRAT'S " !!!!!

After the new shop extension is done you need a couple freight/cargo boxes to store all your parts, so Ben doesn't have to be out in the elements hunting for parts!

[@3gunshooter60]

Great episode with Mary Pat taking a ride in the old truck and that beautiful firebird. Ya'll are good people. I do think you need to clean up the rear end housing and paint it before you put it into the 42 though. Thanks for sharing your projects Paul

[@markw.2106]

Someday, before you're ready, you'll be working in the shop and it will be quiet, too quiet, and you'll miss these loud, hectic days. So much fun to see your kids and their friends hanging out in their old man's shop :)

[@mikedesilets3324]

Grayden cracks me up. Reminds me of myself. Just visualize and build. He's already predicting 40 mph. Can't wait to see the finished build. He's obviously a chip off the old block.

[@tobysurmann1936]

"Things have escalated quickly here in the shop" LOVE IT! Teach kids how to safely use the equipment and let them go. You're doing it right!

Looks like a brass float. You can usually repair them with a little solder. Heat it a few times to get the gas to evaporate out. Then solder the crack or hole.

I’m just amazed at the knowledge, experience and craftsmanship of fabricating these projects on the fly. I really appreciate your sharing these videos. These are usually behind the scenes activities that the public never gets the opportunity to see because it would stall the progress of work and everyday business. You guys are down to earth…. the real deal.

I am a proud veteran and a POW . It's ben 40 years. But I would do it all over again if I could. But now I'm in bad health. Was hit on my motorcycle in 1010 kid was driving 55mph when he hit me . And I broke my neck. I've had 2 life saving surgerys since . Then got incredibly long cancer. And now heart ❤ disease . Ben trying to buy one of your hoodys . But I'm on a fixed income. And I can't poll nothing over my head Only zipper ups . So I'm just so thankful to be able to be a part of your KZbin family . And have Ben since DAY ONE . " EVERYDAY" Thank you all so much.

I really enjoyed seeing her face riding in the old truck and the car your channel is getting better every week. May I say that I think your kids should start a channel it would be great for other kids to see that they can do stuff like that, when my son was there age I'd show him the safety side of equipment watch him use it I showed him how to weld and four years later he has his own blacksmith business at the age of 19 and has stuff all of the world and 35 states

[@robertpray1064]
