Holy Cow! The Giveaway Car Is Running Better Than Ever!!

I am so excited to see Ed's reaction when he gets his Golden Nugget presented to him. I started watching Fab Rats right after "The Nugget" was rescued and delivered to you. I've really enjoyed watching you folks even though I am a 68 yr old female and don't do any mechanic work myself. The Fab Rats family feels like home to me.

No joke Alex. Are they dragging this out for views on other videos?

[@grnwtr4life]

@@stupidass3791 they literally just said in the video that they are waiting on parts so they can finish it. I’m sure they want to get it back to Ed more then anyone. This isn’t just a quick weekend restoration, these things take time. Especially with how the shipping industry has been lately parts don’t exactly have to delivery speed that it once had.

The white mold on Salami is called Penicillium, which is also used to make the anti-biotic Penicillin. The Penicillium is injected into the salami and acts as a barrier to prevent toxic molds. Penicillium is completely safe and edible.

I hate to nit-pick this, but the culture that creates the mold on certain kinds of salami, is actually sprayed on and not injected. The culture is known in the industry as MEK-4 .. The mold actually keeps bad bacteria at bay and consumes the lactic acid in the salami to make the flavor less acidic. ( Speaking as a sausagemaker for 30 years).

Paul, all old Chrysler 727's suffer converter drain back after sitting, even just over-night. And, they do not pump fluid in park. Standard practice for old Chrysler ownership = after starting engine, immediately drop tranny to neutral where it will pump fluid, and fill the converter back up. Idle for 30 secs, and your good to go. 727 = best 3sp auto ever after you learn how to live with it. Can't wait to see you pull in my driveway in that thing! LOL

Just as soon as there's space enough, start pounding/wedging in thick cold chisels between the drum center opening, against the axle flange center. That's how we get our stuck Mopar drums off, up here in salt country. It's rare to break the OE Mopar drums doing that. Mopar historical teaching moment; remember you put in uh "Sure Grip" differential into that 8 3/4 axle. Not posi like in a GM 10 bolt grenade axle. You should oughta mention to the younguns that they need to add a small bottle of limited slip additive to the gear oil to ensure the diff continues to incinerate both rear tires. Loving the project. Can't hardly wait to see the finished upholstery. Love your family oriented channel! Malcolm Ottawa Valley

[@icantsaywhat]

Great video as always. Only one thing I might suggest. You should have tried to make the axle fit the rotor instead of the rotor fitting the axle. That way when whoever is lucky enough to win it has to replace the rear rotors they can just do a simple swap. I doubt the person who wins will have the tools or maybe the ability to do the machining required to fit the rotor. Please don’t take this as criticism or telling you how todo your job. Just trying to think about making the winners life easier for more time to enjoy that amazingly well built automobile.

[@kevinmarchemurica1135]

I was thinking the same thing. THEN I thought, well whoever wins it will know by WATCHING this! 😄😄

Doubt whoever wins it will be daily driving it. Those rotors will last the rest of the life of the car.

I’m frankly disappointed, irresponsible the fact that you almost lost Michelle didn’t wake you up? Bad stuff happens every day to good people just like you Paul. Putting yourself and your family in unnecessary danger is stupid in it’s self but putting your son in that POS car in no seat or seatbelt was straight irresponsible. I am a 30 year veteran and Police officer, I spent my career seeing people through the worst day of their life. I cannot express the tragic nature of human suffering and fragile lives. I stood at a child’s grave side in support grieving parents who adored their children as much as I know you do. Please!!!! do not risk doing this anymore, you might be doing everything right but you do not control the other idiots on the other side of the road like Michelle found out. I am a loyal fan and I pray you understand my very real concern. I don’t want or need a response and you can even remove this comment but please hear me.

As a former EMT I have to agree. I've seen more than one kiddo who was unrestrained in the back seat who flew through the windshield in a head-on collision or was thrown from the vehicle in a rollover. The results are absolutely gut wrenching even to think about. Just a lapse in judgment but often that's all it takes for lives to be shattered. I do not agree that the car is a POS however.
