Link for the brake line flaring tool?

[@rednecksuburbanidiot3230]

Lol I subscribed to the morning view thing and it was mostly because you talked matt into putting the house coat on

[@rednecksuburbanidiot3230]

Hay guy's I work for a company called Dorman products in Warsaw Kentucky. Check them out we probably have about anything you need for a vehicle along with some shelving stuff I only drive the yard truck there. But just as a example you no the couple hundred dollars fuel pump for GM I get for like 80 bucks. Hope it helps you all out some

[@aaronshall9258]

I swore it was going papa dar:) it was Matt:) hahaha:)

[@garageprojectsanythingtoev4460]

Please start adding some links to tools you use example parts like the welder Paul installed in the truck or the brake line tool etc I know you want sponsors makes sense but man we want these things lmao

[@mrbeans2425]

Michelle is amazing with her Sponsor Ads! Everyone else just reads a boring statement I love how she gets everyone involved!

[@dljones61]

Ok,ok, there had to be a “bet” between fabrats and Matt’s recovery, a bet that Matt must of lost to be seen in that bathrobe for the commercial. That was so funny, glad you guys are friends 👍

[@om617yota8]

Gotta admit, this one choked me up a bit. I come from a broken home, with a narcissistic personality disorder and alcoholic mom, and a dad who was physically present, but a covert narc himself. Even if he'd had the skills and tools to show us kids these kinds of things, there's precisely zero chance he would have actually done so. Had to teach myself all of that. I hope your kids realize just how fortunate they are.

[@darkerbrother1]

I wonder if Landon fully appreciates 3 generations of mechanics. It truly is a beautiful thing

[@BLADE9118]

Ronald I think the same thing……..but reality for Landon is different then ours at our age…….it took me a long time realize the significance. But he will as time goes on……..Landon and the rest of the other kids are truly lucky to have a dad & mom like Paul & mom.

[@scottkrieger4701]

It's always good when Michelle's in the shop.

[@fucksusanwojcicki]

i don't know about good, but it's something

[@davidbradley1297]

My wife and I are planning a road trip next fall, from the was northern east coast, south. then across to Phenix, then to Denver. If possible, I will take up your acceptance of fans stopping by.

[@wgreen8808]

I love watching Paul and Landon work on Landon's truck. Paul is passing those skills along to Landon and in the end he's going to have an awesome truck that he and his Dad built together. Those memories will be with him all his life and so will that truck if he keeps it and takes care of it.

[@RaymondChipLambert]

One of my favorite parts of watching these videos is when Paul makes light of something and Landon snickers... I love the way you share your genius and do it with a playful and flippant manner. Not only intensely interesting, but also incredibly entertaining.

[@blsully]

3:15 Matt's looking dashing in his powder blue robe.

[@squarewrangler]

Was anybody else hearing "Shitters full" during that clip..?

[@avengedflames01-x44]

Lol when you just finish watching Matt's Towing and Recovery to see him in the commercial! It tickles me to see the world's cross over.

[@garychristison5773]

I got all sweated out just changing my oil. I'm in awe of what you do. And an appearance by Michelle is always appreciated.

[@TheTubeTube2]

What a great father, great mother … terrific sons too!

[@tiuh8539]

You guys should do a full tour of the “junk yard” and tell us about the vehicle and how you came to get your hands on it!!!

[@epictales1307]

I strongly agree! That would be an interesting video that I would watch as soon as I saw it was posted.

[@crapshoot5264]

I watch all their videos as soon as I see they are posted. Haha!

[@dougalexander7204]

What an opportunity for Landon to learn nothing is impossible.

[@rickurso8084]

Seriously….father of the year! Awesome!

[@koslund11]

If you want to use people in your ads, you have to enlist Rudy. He's an actor waiting for his big break. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnb.carpenter6862]

Man Paul you make it look easy. That truck is gonna have guts. I can’t wait.

[@PhilipAnderson]

Everyone is looking for normal family life, you all show us what a productive, happy family can be. That’s why your fans love you all. That’s besides all our admiration for your skills in building anything and everything!

[@firebry23]

I hope Landon realises and appreciates what a good dad he has.

[@alanwondergem2105]

Paul needs one of those Generac GENERATORS. They'd be able to keep on working straight through all power outages.

[@perrogrande21]

That Lincoln Continental at 15:50 with the suicide doors looked pretty sweet!

[@cdnroofer]

Nothing better than a FAB RATS video notification. Just on my lunch break and couldn’t click on the video fast enough. Cheers from Oshawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@michaelcollins6851]

Man I wish my dad could have shown me how to take an engine apart and put back togather

[@fckurcouch]

In my case i had no one to show me anything so i had to learn everything i know on my own (basic to semi advanced mechanical work)

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

My father taught me how to be independent, which was more than enough. I taught myself how to do a lot of things, including working on cars. I learned a lot from him even if it wasn't specifically in one area.

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

@@joeblow8047 I have two boys who have forgotten more about mechanical work than I know, and one son who couldn't find the dipstick for the oil if he had to. But he runs a successful business doing things I know nothing about. None of them can boil water, even though their Dad is a barbecue guy. Different interests, different skillsets. My main goal is to show an interest in what THEY are doing, not worry if they can do what I do.

[@zekeil]

We like watching regardless what gets done. These are our reality shows and there's nothing more real than running into problems. Keep up the great work, love the content guys.

[@heartsky]

I'm really glad you (Michelle?) don't use all those distracting editing transitions and effects. Clapping for finding the bolt was perfect. Please don't feel like you need more fancy editing, the current treatment is perfect for the content, well done editor(s)!

[@terrygardner3031]

My dad and I never worked on cars, but haybalers, Tractors, corn choppers, and farm trucks yes. They usually were in the field where they broke down so when you lost a bolt, nut or washer you tried not to move too much until someone got a magnet out to find the lost item. We weren't the same skill level, although I remember tearing down an old GMC inline 6 head taking it to the machine shop for the pros to work on it then putting everything back on and getting it running. I miss those times with my Dad and brother working together.

[@FrankieTubes]

I really appreciate you guys making the (necessary ads for parts funding) amusing, instead of a live read. Keep up the great work.

[@eddiecampbell3514]

Hahahahaha that was a nice touch to have Matt play that reading paper part in robe..🤣🤣🤣😎😎🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@usmclee65]

Really glad Matt sent us your way, really like all your doing, so you have another watcher !

[@donaldstenico5266]

I beg to differ. That's not a junk yard. it's a parts and restoration staging area. My wife accepted that.

[@chanceapants9595]

Parts and storage staging

[@treborheminway3814]

It's real nice of your kids to show the fans around the farm. I'll bet they will get another thrill watching themselves on the KZbin. Look ma, I'm a star!

[@craighull6910]

Loved the tour of the junky yard. My dream is to have a back yard full of old cars and trucks. You are living my dream. I would love to come see your shop and parts piles and meet your family. Love the show! Keep it up.

[@RiceKillaz]

Yeah, I'm surprised he mentioned liking fans coming out. I think he must just mean locals because he would get annoyed really quick if we all just started to drop by haha

[@tmalcolm6138]

I’ve cut my service to my television as you and Matt have the best entertainment I’ve ever had as it beats anything on television!! God bless you are ❤️❤️

[@mikebiron7339]

Great job. Showing your son how to use parts off of other trucks and improvise is crucial. Man, growing up my friends and I lived at the junk yards getting parts. We could build the whole motor for $100 vs buying a single part for $100 at the hot rod shop. Repurpose, repaint, reuse, fire it up and smoke the tires!

[@jdawson5998]

Take it from an old dad. Giving a 16 yo a big block: put used tires on that thing for the first 6 months. 🤣 Great job family. Thanks for another great video.

[@om617yota8]

Giving a 16 year old a big block is genius. He'll be spending all his $$$ on gas and tires, and won't have any left over for girls.

[@jrzyboy99]

When fans stop by and you show gratitude toward your viewers with your humble personality it remind us why we watch! Keep being you! 👍👍👍

[@thomastaylor298]

Time spent with your son is never a waste. It will pay large dividends later in life. Dividends that can not be bought, they are earned. He will never forget these hours you spent together. It is also nice to see that mom approves of all this even some times taking part. A family of sharing good times, fun and laughs and even bad times.......Priceless.

[@vangoodwin7335]

I think my son and daughter learned more when we ran into problems than if things went smoothly. I miss the days and now I have to wait till the grand kids visit. The next generation in Paw Paw's shops gets to learn wood working and motorcycle wrenching. Of course that's after some time on the range showing me how they've improved since last here. You've some great boys there Paul, I'm sure your daughter will know more then her Mom by the time you put her out into the world. You all are in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@mikesblueskyproductionsuta7634]

Archie’s was amazing! Glad I got to meet you. Was laughing all the way home about your coworkers tossing You the autograph pen! 🤣🤣🤣 I got my fab rats sticker and Fab Rats burger! DELICIOUS!

[@timlittlejohn6192]

"Good cam for a kid". What every kid wants to hear.

[@jessepitt]

That cracked me up too. My dad and I built quite a few fast rigs together when I was a kid but he made me drive a gutless Mazda for my first daily driver. Much better chance of survival.

[@stephenporter964]

I’m live in Wisconsin but am from Ely, NV. Your show and Matt’s off road recovery really make me miss home. My wife and I admire the way you have included your family. Oh and your fab work is dam cool!

[@clivematthew-wilson2491]

The awesome thing about your channel is not just that you do seriously cool builds, but that the whole extended family is involved and has a sense of really love and community.

[@cribbsprojects]

Southern UT climate is super nice for preserving metal! Love the boneyard!

[@stout_tossme7541]

One of my greatest memories is working on cars with my dad. Michelle! Those lashes! Man, I can't wait to see how this square body turns out. And the TOJO!!! Can't wait for that. Suicide Lincon...man, has been years since I have seen one.

[@tonyincs]

When your yard is literally a "Yard"! Love It!!

[@stricnine69]

Its like youtube magic. Your videos and matts drop at almost the same time. Its almost as if you guys know each other. I do wish you guys channels dropped videos on opposite days though. I have to watch crappy stuff on the days your videos dont release. Paul should hold a contest to win an apprenticeship in his shop. That would be worth more than a degree from Harvard.

[@ronaldbarnes8302]

Nice video. Matt in the robe and glasses was awesome! Thanks Paul and Michelle!

[@ricardocollado9596]

I like that you and your son can work together and he learning a great trade.

Lookin good boys!... get that puppy up and running!...POWER OUT!....HOLY CRAP WELD THAT HOIST UP!!... thanks 4 video. be kind.

[@mikedee10]

Hi guys.. great to see father and son doing a project together. I’m guessing Landon might follow in his fathers footsteps and start derby car racing. Might have to get some more stock in paul.😂. Keep up the good work..love watching your videos and seeing the end product. 👍

[@Sunshine-vr9qr]

Love pulling engines apart and than putting them back together. Great Video

[@stonedog03]

Great to see a father / son project! I have some great memories of time spent with my dad doing these kind of projects.

[@lory2622]

Loved the @morningbrew “ad” you created. I hope the sponsor was as pleased with it as I was.

Ran into a dude in Rapid City, SD wearing a Fab Rats hat on Wednesday night. Complemented his cap ad went on my way. Love seeing merch in the wild.

I’m glad y’all don’t weird voices or alternate personalities or goofy crap on here. Just a dude that knows what he’s doing in a killer home shop.

[@prsnroftime]

I love it when Paul says "We're winnin!" Much more positive than when I use a bunch of expletives followed by "oh that wasn't as bad as I thought"

[@Nerffy]

Graydon is such a great helper in the shop. finding missing bolts is an important job!

[@epictales1307]

Finding stuff in the shop is the largest job there is in any shop! lol

[@wesleybateman5837]

That's cool you got Matt in his wife's bathrobe with his morning brew !

[@redline870]

It’s freakin awesome that you involve your kids with so many of these projects. Whatever happens to you, you’ve made these kids so much more self reliant than 99% of society and passed on knowledge that can’t be taught at the best mechanical university.

[@bradshantz2272]

Your a kick ass Dad!!i used to build work trucks with my stepdad it was the best! Hope you guys are having as good a time as I did as a kid!

[@blsully]

It's awesome seeing Landon involved in his truck build. Has to feel so good to learn all that as a teen.

[@RickDominick69]

I understand the word, "WE" meaning more than one. Two or more but as a parent I also understand that we means me most of the time.Them every now and again. Because we know more than they do so it's better that we do most of the hard work to make sure it's done right the first time. There was that one moment we had put that bracket on this front axle backwards but that's okay because we recognized it and fixed it

[@LockheedStarliner]

Don't forget your safety glasses while you're drillin'... Lando da Mando! Cool 4by project...

[@SpatialDragon]

You have a chunk of money in that junkyard. Those C series pickups are worth money. Serious money. Way more than I thought... Nice to have that stored for later.

Dig out the dead cat. You're getting some (lots) wind noise. :)

[@FatCajun]

I couldn’t watch the whole thing background noise killing my 👂

[@lockedin60]

Paul specifically said that any background noise you hear is the fan. Then I am thankful that I only have one ear that works. The other ear is just on my head for decorations!🤣
