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! 😄😆😅😂🤣😂🤣

[@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.

[@user-yr8nc7xd6q]

As a retired diesel tech, I love Paul's smile when he gets something running.

[@BerrycreamLuna]

I like how you mix new with old things and the fact that you can roll with surface rust and it never gets too bad so wonderful.

[@mikeneuman66]

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

[@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.

[@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 ❤️

[@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...

[@annagarner1280]

You guys did a great job putting this rollback together....turned out really great...thanks for allowing us to watch this build...

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@johnavonyates4105]

The roll back is awesome but the firebird stole the thunder

[@MM-tw6cm]

thats a hard coin throw there !

[@ethanh3421]

I don’t even know how long I’ve been watching you guys, it’s been forever and still to this day can’t thank you enough for the inspiration you give us all!! We love the fab rat family! P.s. Paul, dually’s would look pretty sweet on the rat back ;)

[@markchallancin1345]

It may just be a camera thing, but this truck scares me whenever I see it with something on the bed . Air bags can stop squat, but they don’t change weight distribution.

[@trentgay3437]

I agree. I wanted them to extend the frame and add a drop axel or just a free rolling full time axel so it looked like a semi.

[@nealesmith1873]

They can just put some extra weight on the front bumper.

[@whodat90]

Come on, as long as they tie the car down good they’ll be able to wheelie the truck. How cool is that?

[@mikeroll9868]

Love to Rat Back! Awesome job.

[@pilotdog68]

The axle on a roll back are usually dead center on the bed. So as long as the heaviest part of the car is towards towards the front it's mint. Plus the heavy diesel engine way out front. Even with a car on the back I bet it's front heavy

[@MrTrailSpiker]

That Fire Bird on your Roll Back, Take it to the car show!

[@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.

[@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!

[@danieljohnson4418]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@kennethsmith6470]

Landon is going to make one heck of a fabricator...

[@davestevens4263]

I was thinking comedian! Baha

[@ottawa875]

Good morning! Have an awesome week team Fab Rats!

[@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 !!

[@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!

[@carlauten]

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

[@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!

[@RodolfoLozano-pk1er]

I had the pleasure of being in Southern Utah, last year and got the opportunity to meet the Fab Rats team, they don’t disappoint. What you see on KZbin, that’s how they’re in real life. Paul and he’s team are a pleasure to talk to them. Also bought merch, now I think why didn’t I buy more shirts. ha

[@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 )

[@terrymiler2164]

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

[@manuelyancey8302]

Landon I do understand why you picked that truck it has the sole of your grandpa and the soul of your dad I understand completely so does your dad like seen it in his eyes❤

[@jdbrown3695]

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

[@personaldronerepair6141]

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

[@mikevieira6373]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@edwarddwyer1983]

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

[@timothymelius9]

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

[@KyleC2OO7]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@anthonym3948]

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

[@davetapani3253]

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

[@_CryptoNoob_]

That Ratback is looking AAHHHH-MAZING!!! Some nice swooping fender flairs on the front would wrap that up extremely nice!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Probably happy to get the Ratback moved along and out of your shop! Next episode, Jellyfish launching!

[@ryanharding4199]

Yet another great Fab Rats video watched by so many people. Love our Fab Rats.

[@roncameron9541]

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

[@dalegereaux1863]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@bobbbaker]

Imagine having a fab shop and then going to buy brackets for a speaker box. 😅

[@UnholiestJedi]

He explained why. Sometimes you just want the easiest option

[@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🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@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!!!

[@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

[@watchman11000]

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

[@user-nt5ut9zm7o]

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

[@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.

[@skyepilotte11]

Rat Back is looking really cool. Great team interaction.

[@robertr4193]

The Rat back is getting a lot closer to being finished. Looking pretty good.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@marcussimon7971]

It would be fun to watch a build off from all the KZbinrs. Who would build a off road truck that be safe for the road but be able to drive offroad as well.

[@kaydog2008]

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

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Paul and crew for the update on the Ratback ! It's starting to look real sweet !

[@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.

[@cedricbroussard8738]

The ratback it's coming together beautifully 😍

[@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

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Using a hot knife to cut that carpet will eliminate unraveling issues. Great work, love this project.

[@chrislange4803]

Nice to see the Firebird and the rollback looks awesome!

[@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.

[@papatomsthoughts]

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

[@epstiendidntkillhimself20231]

Paul stretched his jeep long ago.

[@thomasleonard9685]

Cover the sound mat with some 1960’s orange shag carpet….use it as headliner too. Spray some glue on it at stick it. 100% tight

[@chrislovett6120]

The cool factor of that is over the top. Love it

[@lchebuhar9212]

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

[@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.

[@charlielitz6395]

I LOVE THAT TRUCK. Great build. Thanks for sharing

[@user-se9ny5kl6x]

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

[@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

[@MrBillsfishin]

What a fantastic build. Very nice work Gentlemen.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Looks way better with duals 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@shawnschuchard5281]

Your Firebird is beautiful. Saw one set up like yours at a gas station years ago and fell in LOVE.

[@adamchaffee6536]

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

[@Keinandrew3]

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

[@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.

[@alviado4439]

Awesome! I love that vintage Rollback truck!

[@deanwellerassociates]

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

[@jeromelancon5323]

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

[@enjoyingretirement4846]

That truck is special to Paul and it shows. Very Cool. Just had to add the sherry on top. Firebird

[@GeorgeT6566]

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

[@ynnhoj912]

Love this build. Best looking tow rig on KZbin 😊

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

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

[@Drlogical1]

That AMP is going to cook itself, should mount on top of carpet! Dont let the tunes fails move it on top!

[@lloydreeves715]

Keep up with the good work Paul love watching you on KZbin god bless

[@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.

[@BNMineralPospector]

Can’t wait to see the Ratback with your Fab Rats logo.

[@michaelmcclure8673]

The dual wheels and sway bar save the day . 😊

[@aaronburchael2512]

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

[@malcolmyoung7866]

‘Shut up Hunter’ Sniggering heard in the background… Just too funny!
