Love seeing Landon being more active in the shop, he seems to be more and more comfortable with what he does and also, more friendly with the camera in his face. He has some great teachers!

[@ohm512]

Landon's pick was 100% right, Grandpa Sherm's tow truck has to be the most sentimental in your entire fleet of kick ass rigs. Good kid you got there

[@annagarner1280]

❤ I d been upset with Landon if grandpa s truck wasn't his pick....

[@christophersells9146]

Going to be a very nice Tow Rig

[@Kanoee64]

Grandpa Sherm's... Jellyfish launcher! 😄😆😅😂🤣😂🤣

[@samramone84]

Is Landon the eldest?

[@christophersells9146]

@samramone84 no..Jace is....the the daughter "Gracy" is the baby..

[@allentisthammer4763]

I remember it like yesterday, watching Grandpa Sherman helping take the front clip off of Landon's truck. 3 generations working on a shared project and boy oh boy what a moment for me. being able to share that experience. Great selection.

[@markcargile]

Guys, I’m tellin’ ya, turn the subwoofer enclosure around so it fires against the back of the cab. It’ll sound a LOT better.

[@KyleC2OO7]

It would rattle some stuff, if placed like you’re saying. With subs that small in that small of a space they’re fine like they are.

[@pilotdog68]

​@@KyleC2OO7honestly subwoofers in a cab that small are pretty unnecessary anyways. But Paul seems to really like them and I guess that's all that matters

[@TumbleweedRancher]

I thought about a subwoofer for my standard cab HiLux. Went with small 6x9's behind the seat. Sounds pretty good.

[@kenagames4667]

Thanks for keeping it real, your authenticity is refreshing

[@davestevens4263]

and when you keep it real its easy , just be yourself . Some people can't handle real

[@mikeneuman66]

Never showed the end result of Sean’s work on the sway bar ..

[@SixBladesKojiro]

The petina on that cab is perfect. I hope you keep it. No paint !

[@canuckwing0195]

Could put that ceramic coating on it, a give it a bit if shine too.

[@ottawa875]

Good morning! Have an awesome week team Fab Rats!

[@danieljohnson4418]

You nailed it with this project, Paul. This truck has so much character and originality. I love it.

[@mikesheahan6906]

Now I want a Jellyfish launcher!

[@ccosby]

Buy a Tacoma. They're standard equipment.

[@TumbleweedRancher]

Made me think of squid gun from despicable me!

[@reddog543211]

That frickin R-back is amazing...keep your chest sticking out when you drive it Paul!!.... you've done dam good (with the whole teams help)....thanks for taking us along on this journey !!

[@JimSmithBrazil]

Paul drops the screw driver. Hunter giggles. Paul "shut up hunter!" LOL Probably the 100th time he dropped something.

[@OliverKrystal]

Shut up Wesley lol

[@AdmiralBadBeef]

dropping a screwdriver in the engine bay is only a real problem when you DON'T hear it hit the floor...

[@mestraw]

Wow; The Old Chevy truck and the Firebird on the Back. What a Car Lovers Dream. Real Luxury too. Thanks for this great video!

[@willyporter7373]

That Firbird cleaned up would well! Looks like he had the ceramic coat done on that also. What a barn find that was way back in the beginning of Fab Rats.

[@artineugene9485]

I was going over some of the past videos, And the barn find of the firebird brought tears to my eyes'. That was a very special barn find with a great story behind it. Awesome!

[@drkrypton4410]

On the carpet over the amp. Take the amp out, put the carpet down, put the amp back in. Youll thank me later. Maybe build a removable shroud to keep rocks and bugs from damaging that beautiful camaro! Good job on everything you guys do!!

[@Featherburner]

Firebird, not a Camaro.

[@mikevieira6373]

The Rat-Back turned out awesome !….This is one of my favourite builds along with the Golden-Nugget and FJ.

[@KyleC2OO7]

That’s a sweet roll back, looks even sweeter with that classic Firebird on there!

[@edwarddwyer1983]

Love the truck and the bird, They look great together...

[@heelerdadadventures]

I use those breaker switches on builds for protection and to kill power to the main harness feed. Works great when they are stored for any potential electrical problems. Most importantly, if you're in a highly populated area and worried about theft. You push the button, open the circuit, and nothing happens if you try to start it. Have one already installed on a 1981 K20 Restoration build, I am doing.

[@jeremyhalsen-xh3em]

Love the show and family values that come with it. We were on a family road trip vacation stopped by the fabrats for the first time. Grandma Lolly was great!!! She informed us you guys were on a family vacation at the same time. Got some merch and pics of the sweet rigs. Keep up the awesome channel!! Ps Michelle dont worry about the negative Nancys.

[@chrislange4803]

Nice to see the Firebird and the rollback looks awesome!

[@davetapani3253]

That truck is awesome! Looks so cool with the Fire Chicken on the back. Great job guys!

[@billstev100]

“Shut up Hunter!” 😂 The dynamic between those two is priceless!!! 😅 👍

[@chrisjohnson5888]

seems that he pays more attention to Hunter than he does his own kid

[@Ironsights85]

@@chrisjohnson5888 probably because they dont film much of their life outside the shop

[@LeoTonius]

True. I had a good laugh as well. Priceless.

[@terrymiler2164]

The bird on the back,love that car the way it is.

[@dalegereaux1863]

Really nice to see all the modern upgrades in an older truck. ! 👍

[@kaydog2008]

Right amber emergency lights on top are a must as well.

[@Edgar-x3c]

Paul you are amazing that ratback with the firebird on the back was beautiful

[@timothymelius9]

Paul Your flatbed truck looks awesome. That truck, it's gonna be with some trophies. At car show.

[@randyweishaar3316]

Paul, I feel your pain. My son told me (4 yrs. old), " I want your Jeep when you are dead." I guess it's an heirloom Wrangler!

[@jcnme]

Landon's "Pick" for his Grandpa's Truck and the look in his eyes 😢made me tear up. Grampa Sherm is VERY Proud ❤👍🏼🙏 Great Job Y'all ❤️

[@carlbliim4456]

G'day from Down under. I have been following your U Tube for many years and have enjoyed them. On July 4th my wife and I are celebrating our 72nd wedding anniversary A great day for us as well. Carl and Pippy.

[@loraleecox2599]

Congratulations

[@FabRats]

Congratulations! That’s something to said! 72 years. Wow! Happy anniversary!

[@watchman11000]

That is one badass looking ramp truck. You guys killed it with that build.

[@ronwatson4135]

I think once you are off road and try to climb steep hills, depending on the weight of the load, the Rat-Back is going to become real light in the steering wheels. I can see it wanting to " wheelie " loosing steering. The rear axle is to far forward. ( IMHO )

[@terrellpettijohn3952]

Looking good. I drove through Glendale today on my way home to Tucson from SLC. I was hoping to stop and buy some goodies, but we were short on time. Enjoy all of your videos and hope all is well for you and your family.

[@charlielitz6395]

I LOVE THAT TRUCK. Great build. Thanks for sharing

[@roncameron9541]

I had a 68 Firebird 350 HO same color. Sure brings back memories everytime I see your 'Bird.

[@adamchaffee6536]

I'm loving the Rat Back. Nice job guys. It's a really good look.

[@papatomsthoughts]

Papa Dar deserved a ride. Great family dynamics here. 😊😊😊

[@epstiendidntkillhimself20231]

Paul stretched his jeep long ago.

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Good job guys the old rat back is coming along very nicely keep up the good work love watching your work

[@paulchapin4472]

Hey guys. I was camping in Flagstaff this past week with some good friends for their 50th wedding anniversary. One of their friends was wearing a MOSG shirt and I had to ask about it. Turns out he was at Glamis for Merlin's b-day bash. Evidently, he helped Graydon with his go-kart and spent some time working on Michele's buggy. He's a retired dentist named Todd. A really nice guy and a lot of fun. Small world.

[@MarkoMygun]

Nice job guy's, that Rat Back is a Masterpiece truly. Its great to finally see it 95%done it will be 100% when Chad is done with it. What a great addition to your fleet. Everybody has done a fine job on it. Thanks for the video guy's can't wait for the next one.

[@RobertMcCulloch-ww8vq]

That amp needs air to keep cool, might want to pull that carpet off of it so it don't get too hot and cause issues.

[@deanwellerassociates]

Love the stance of that truck, thanks for the best entertainment.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Paul, great job! You and your helpers know how to get her done!

[@garybray8058]

The Ratback is a really nice looking truck. Every mod has been a challenge but, you guys did a great job and it relly turned out awesome.

[@charleswelch249]

I'll drive it anywhere, that's exactly what you should have when Chad's finished with it. Between the RatBack and the Towtruck, you have all you need for recovery vehicles for your area. Great video, and best of luck with this truck

[@Keinandrew3]

Shaun your one hell of a fabricator and fixit man the sway bar was totally wrong and you made it work. Looks good

[@carlauten]

The Ratback is coming together. Looking good inside the cab as well as the outside. The Jellyfish Launcher is a must have!

[@2coolwheels139]

The Ratback is turning out great! Nice rig.

[@ThomasHaws-p9h]

Great job, I love when a plan come together. You can sit at my campfire anytime.

[@dezertracer2304]

When you drop something into the engine bay, the sweetest sound it when it hits the floor and knowing its not stuck somewhere. haha

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Looks way better with duals 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@garyidaho1]

Love the looks and sound of the rollback. Good work

[@eagleattucson]

Awesome build!! Well done Fab Rats crew!!

[@BNMineralPospector]

Your contact is spot on, thank you for great stuff.

[@Kevin-ti3rz]

Y'all are quick ✓ it's so cool to see what's going to be next .

[@ayletthauki5023]

PAUL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A GREAT DAD, AND MICHELLE FOR RAISING THE TRIBE WITH AWESOME MANNERS AND RESPECT FOR HUMANS!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I love the soothing tones of the swamp cooler humming in the background and I'm not being sarcastic. I have really bad tinnitus lol.

[@DJ_Underwood]

Rollback looks awesome guys! Great work, I would suggest to go ahead and cut out the amp, it will overheat under that carpet. Hope someday I can get up to Utah and see these awesome rigs!

[@JackRichardCanfield]

I think you should add some sort of structure to the back to act as a bumper and a better place for brake/tail lights and back up lights

[@personaldronerepair6141]

I have never viewed a video from this channel and wished that I had that time back. Ratback is awesome guys!

[@gregsandidge5649]

I love all the little gadgets, window handles for the power windows, etc. I probably would have incorporated the secondary headlights into the bumper for that OEM look. Great build guys!

[@TACTICALGRASSHOPPER]

Truck looks awesome! Sounds even better!

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Guys

[@michaelmcclure8673]

The dual wheels and sway bar save the day . 😊

[@patriot8087]

What a very cool truck Fab Rats crew, you all outdid yourselves on this one. Go old school with tuck and roll or diamond pleat headliner, in this old girl would be the cats meow. Just sayin.

[@GeorgeT6566]

When Paul kicks the bucket. I got first bids on the Firebird.

[@anthonym3948]

Those electric windows are super dang cool. You guys are doing a great job. It's really coming together.

[@jerryb1234]

I drive my dully everywhere, and I love it,😁👍, there's something a-bit different about Landon lately, I just can't put my finger on it yet,🤔, good-job with the truck guys!,😉👍, and thanks for sharing.

[@DanielHernandez-tp2tm]

That front bumper is sweet!

[@aaronburchael2512]

greetings from Ireland WOW the rig looks savage well done team Fab Rats

[@dougalexander7204]

Landon for the win on calling dibs for the Sherm-Paul tow truck. You got some cool vehicles but the tow truck is strong and puts money in the bank.

[@5cent27]

Love that Paul puts good sound in his vehicles. 🤘 Yall have made some really cool stuff but this one is my favorite!

[@lonhoschar1943]

The Ratback is looking pretty sweet!! I'm gonna love seeing it do some recoveries!!!

[@dougreed9843]

Lots of great comments, the long awaited first haul of the Rat back wonderful to see that is one hot looking rollback, great effort has paid off it looks like.

[@dennisrich6577]

It’s already quieter with carpet and pad 💪

[@earthlifeus1656]

Amps have cooling fins for a reason, airflow not suffocation under carpet.

[@gavincregan7892]

I love my auxbeam 360 pros. They are a great value for the amount of light they put out. I dont think they are the most stylish look but I value function over form in my tools.

[@ianbedwell4871]

That’s why I have one screwdriver with a wrist loop cord from working inside stuff and dropping one to often! Cool rig guys

[@jdbrown3695]

Great to see the Ratback rolling with a car on the deck! Great job, guys!

[@Chilly383]

That is turning out so nice. Great job

[@lsellis956]

How Cool was that view through the rear window of the rat back when they started it up

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Awesome rat back! SWEET!

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Great Build The RatBack ❤

[@matthewmolyneaux5790]

Those self tappers used to mount the electrical on the firewall are definitely going to raddle out in a shirt time I would use a bolt with a lock washer

[@jeromelancon5323]

I swear the trio Sean, Hunter and Land' has a special synergy of fun, energy and knowledge ! Clap

[@theburtseoni]

It was a long and sometimes tough journey to get to this point, but I'm proud of you and your team Paul! I have looked forward to seeing the RatBack hit the road!

[@lopin890]

Morning Fab RATS Family❣️ Happy to see the winning combination of RatBack and Firebird. It's sure all coming together!!! (a match made in heaven and I'm certain "David Approved") Safe travels, friends ❤❤ Stay FROSTY... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel... 🇺🇲🇺🇲WWG1WGA🇺🇲🇺🇲NCSWIC🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@JT_70]

The red Jeep in the b&w flashback looks like a flock of sea gulls decorated the interior.

[@williamflorance3863]

Looking forward to seeing it get worked in earnest!

[@michaelenewold9225]

Ok seriously, it's called FABRATS, you're a fabrication shop. "We love bolt on kits" 😂 Paul changes EVERYTHING to fit his needs! Love it!!

[@canuckchris5733]

Nice job guys. I really dug this build 👍

[@backcountryboondockers]

Boots tucked under the seat makes for a great cup holder

[@canyonrunner]

At 14:23 Paul tells us he dreams all the time. When I am involved in a building project I am known to dream about building it and working out solutions. Only a lot of my "dreams" are musically scored by Alice Cooper, a rock singer from my youth, the theme song playing is "Welcome To My Nightmare".

[@johnweeks5614]

Well that's a awesome toy hauler and oh lordy when you was putting that firebird on there I was thinking oh God I hope nothing bad happens

[@Jeff_369]

Man I love the wrecker, but this rig is just a different kind of cool!

[@1944chevytruck]

good job boys!

[@mrmongo6722]

I thought it was funny you ran to the store to get L brackets for your sub box any other time you would have ran over to the scrap pile and cut small pieces of angel. Good reason to get out of the shop for a bit. The old rat back is looking great with the Firebird setting on the deck.

[@lchebuhar9212]

Came together really nice. Well done Team Fab Rats! 💪👍🏼
