Love my new Fab Rat shirt!

[@charlesklippel92]

O do you have 4xlt shirts for a 6.8 guy

[@repairrestoreandrebuild8974]

Hunter, don't let the haters get to you. Welding takes practice and you are improving well. Im self taught, as well, and it took time to get pretty welds. Keep up the good work!

[@mahbriggs]

Yeah! Your welds aren't that bad! I welded for 45 years professionally. My first year of welds looked kind of rough! They didn't break and that is what counts!

[@ralan350]

I learned to weld on a farm my welds to this day may not always be super pretty but I’ve never had one break that was intended to be permanent

[@mannybarroga1878]

Hunter is now talking and working like your 20 year old younger version. What a wonderful evolution, hope he's loving the fab work because his future is looking bright. Much love for the whole crew.

[@JerryTip]

My mom saw them together in the truck when she walked by and asked if they were brothers.

[@4x4pirates]

Paul has ruined him? 😂

[@michaelrobbins9679]

Nah ​@@4x4pirates Paul is just another good guy to learn from!

[@fluffpantss]

Is funny the even have the same last name but no relation. Hunter's dad is a good man aswell. His brother helped out in the last couple episodes too. They are all solid folks with good morals.

[@fluffpantss]

16:10 an honest to goodness magic trick to those stuck axle bearing races, throw a bead of weld on the INSIDE. They come rite out. I've used torches and slide hammers. Welder is quick and easy

[@jacobbuller2049]

I love how y'alls new garage has become one giant mechanical engineering hub. You got kids building 3d turbos, cameramen welding mounting pieces, cats, lawn mowers, tractors, RCs, and chopped cars. Really appreciate all the vids.

We love grandma lollipop. She is a brilliant woman to have around. Family 1st . Thanks for making us all feel welcomed

[@epictales1307]

Man, I love Grandma Lolly!! She is just awesome!! :D I vote that she needs to have 60 seconds minimum each video, could be several clips or just one, but she needs to be in more. She always has something "fun" to say!! Just like my own mom!!!

[@thebrowns5337]

Grandma Lolly for President! Better (and younger) than the two numpties you have to choose from.

[@PKnut7425]

Grandma Lolly gotta race the truck!!!

[@tonyholden1469]

Stopped in to the Rat Shack on my way to Lake Powell last week and picked me up the new 4th of July tee shirt and also got a straw hat, a ball cap and some stickers. Got to say hi to grandma Lolly and Hunter. Hunter gave me some tips on how to catch the stripers. Let Hunter know what he told me worked! Thanks again!

[@andrewdillon7837]

I knew Hunter could catch Strippers ,,,

[@albertorozco5981]

That floorboard makes it super simple to remove the tranny. All vehicles should be that accessible. Even the fuel pump in trucks also 😂😂😂 😊

[@JustaGrumpyOleMan]

Paul, Hunter, Shawn, you can change it if y'all want to, but I noticed that when you installed the fuel cell in the truck the sump is down forward and should be down rearward so when you launch the fuel sloshes to the back and down so the fuel doesn't go away and the pump doesn't stop pumping fuel because the fuel sloshed away from the pick up.

[@willbaxter5272]

Not 100%, but I got a feeling this is hunter's problem when he races in the next video...I watched it first unintentionally

[@dougalexander7204]

Much respect for the lady who gave you the truck. I hope she is doing well. 😊

[@willmeldrum4583]

Don't believe she gave it to them

[@Critical-Thinker895]

I don't think they understood her request.

[@deanward3445]

This is an episode all about Hunter!! It’s been so much fun watching the show as you all build fun stuff. But also been amazing watching Hunter grow from a camera boy and a young man. Take this opportunity and learn as much as you can to grow and be a better person.

[@tacojcp]

i love the technicality and diagnostic verbiage of *blows into fuel pump* "oh yeah she's gonna be.... we're good"

[@helenlegallais4208]

I must say I’m loving the crew of fab rats right now. Shaun is such a great guy and hunter is starting to step up and is now becoming a great addition to the team other than the camera work. When hunter went on the recovery in Paul’s pick truck that is a family heirloom with his brother it just show how much trust and faith Paul has in him. I like seeing Paul doing stuff but it’s nice to see the others getting screen time and show that there more than capable thanks Helen ❤

[@billsargent3407]

Hunter is not related....

[@helenlegallais4208]

@@billsargent3407 where did I ask in this post is he related Paul. I have asked in the past is he a nephew though as I believe they share the same surname but don’t quote me on that though.

Thanks, fabrats, for the videos. It's been a bad week my son was in an auto accident. He broke his femur now has a rod in his legs. Your videos have helped me take my mind off it for a few minutes.

[@FabRats]

Sorry to hear that! Hope your son heals well and quickly.❤️

[@meforsure5221]

Thanks

[@SoothingStrings33]

I hope your son heals up fast!!

[@troy-from-cjrc]

Keep plenty of fuel in the tank, that sump is designed to point rearward, under acceleration the fuel sloshes to the back and will uncover the pickup when it facing forward like you have it.

[@tstepp8557]

I'm glad someone else noticed that. Lol

[@helixhippie]

Hunter Brother. Toxic chemicals usually get a lot worse when heated like that. Especially clorinated brake cleaner. It not only makes you sick, the damages to your lungs and bloodstream are permanent. Always keep the air you're breathing as clean as possible. You don't have to smoke to get COPD and it's terrible to live with. You want to have healthy kids someday? Keep your bloodstream as clean and healthy as possible.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Love seeing Grandma Lolly! Good luck with all endeavors! Thanks for sharing 👍

You all have a great family shop there. The content in your videos is always top notch

New shirt idea in recognition of how most things go for you all. Do a shirt that doesn't just say "Fab Rats" but "Fab & Re-Fab Rats".

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Paul , Landon , Hunter and Sean for adventure on fixing the '42 and laughs !

The Art Deco pickup. Always liked the body style.

[@bernhard8540]

A little tip. Do not open the door until you deflate the airbag it puts a bend in the door and it WILL eventually leak 😊❤

[@EWasteJILL]

So the weld on the old tranny that looked like it was glued was probably JB WELD. The is what poor folks who don't have welders or friends who weld use. Especially back in the day. 😊 💖 From Minnesota

[@jacksonschonewolf6235]

The comment Paul made about going back to digging holes made me laugh so hard. Its a thought i have at least once a week! HAHAHa

Another testament that the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!! Way to go Hunter!

[@professornuke7562]

Aaaaah Jailbars. Both Ford and Chevy had the best looking trucks in the early 40's. They make the sexiest looking hotrods. I also see that Paul has taught Hunter an important thing...check up on what Graydon is doing. As a former Dad, checking up on a proverbial 'loose cannon' is important around tools.

[@robertporter9402]

Cool ride, fuel tank is mounted in backwards sump should be facing the rear for drag racing. Good luck Hunter and don't wreck it.

[@slamboy66]

Hunter, do not do a burn out before run it will only oil the street tires. Go around the burnout box.👍👍👍

Hunter, those are solid welds 👍

[@stephenabril7084]

Would make a perfect daily driver. Classic and beautiful.

[@mikemchaney1003]

Someone needs to show Hunter how to use that cutting disc on the grinder (10:58 into the video). Always have the disc running away from you and not pushing towards your body. That is why they are called death wheels. If the disc catches the material then the grinder jumps towards you and can have a bad day. Have it pulling away so that if this happens it will launch away from you, especially with that way oversized disc without a guard on that hand grinder.
