The look on Hadley's face when Paul popped that throttle! Little things like that are worth much more than money! It's great to find kids that appreciate the help given to them.

[@axemanfishing2703]

Hadley was STOKED at the sound of that cool old car. Good on ya for fixing him up and making a kid super happy with his ride.

[@SteveKelllett]

Did you fix the fuel leak on the barn find?

[@bettsy1476]

Great barn find! Nice decent kid owner ... a credit to his folks! In OZ a classic like that is worth 20k plus and more with low mileage and 'original' ! . Great sound, great job Fab Rats!

I love what you do with the kids fixing their cars and putting an exhaust on it and make them part of your life. You’re a good man.

[@brentbrent4608]

Paul I just want to say you're one heck of a good dad and a good man!! that kid was so happy. That's one of those memories that kid will never forget.

[@PaulBarwick]

Paul and Michelle, I have to say that you seem to have gotten the parenting thing down better than most. Knowing when to not ask questions is a pretty important skill. Two thumbs up too for taking the time to take care of your kids friends too.

[@steveboling2515]

Between you guys and Merlin working with these teens to teach them how to care for real cars, I have hope that maybe the next generation is not completely doomed. Hadley has one sweet car.

[@rickrobinson4838]

It’s awesome that you are a mentor to theses young men. The world needs more men like you Paul…

[@2times2is4]

His face was priceless when he heard it run. Awesome job for the kid. Kindness is such a great thing to share.

[@danmustard5879]

I have seen it through out all of your videos, But once again I am very happy to see your mentorship not only to your kids but to the kids who surround you! Good for you Sir!

[@joesephhitteman591]

Paul you will be remembered as a cool old guy one day by many people, who constantly think back of their teenage years!

[@LostandRefound]

Watching Paul go from proud of Landon to "oops, I taught him that technique" was hilarious. Also not asking how Jace damaged the truck because it was probably something similar to something Paul did at his age was great.

[@philrader2016]

Glad you like the vise! Hopefully it will get some use. I did my best to restore it. I did install new thrust bearings to remove some of the backlash it had from over a hundred years of use.

[@Buffalodani1]

So nice

[@FabRats]

Thank you so much!

[@JRs-Garage]

Well Phil when something useful goes to fabrats you know it’s going to get well used for generations! Nice gift Phil !

That "Ah shucks" @ 25:11 is classic.... that must become an add in clip for future videos!

[@darrendoolan4906]

Great job you made a young enthusiast happy with that exhaust. And that kind of ford ain’t that bad, I approve.

[@rickclark4112]

The look on Hadleys face when she sounded off was probably worth the total job to Paul.... Amazing person that Paul is!!! Good on you Ol' Son!!!

[@ryanlukens9280]

Yet another awesome video that puts a smile on my face. It’s wonderful to know there are still good people in the world. Paul, you set a great example to your own kids and their friends, as well as the rest of us. Thank you.

Paul don't need no chalk board!it's all fit and finish.paul is great with his hands,and knee vision.nice too help the kids out.god bless guys and be safe in the shop.bro.skinner.

[@javman03]

You should draw a vacuum on the power steering reservoir any time you replace something in the system. It'll pull every bit of air out before you ever start the engine. No noise, no pump damage from running without oil til it bleeds the air.

When I was a kid my dad had a 1950 Chevy as the family car, I’m 75 now and I can remember it like yesterday.

[@rockercover]

The distinct classic 302 sound. Was around several of those, ran the Cleveland 351 personally. Way to help folks out Paul. Highly commendable, as usual.

[@lppuckster1298]

Hadley’s a happy boy! Great sounding exhaust! Thank You to the viewer who donated the mufflers!

[@cheerdiver]

To resolve power steering whine, draw a vacuum on the reservoir. This will pull out the trapped air.

[@ya472]

I wonder if this is the issue with the Kubota BX tractor HST whine?

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

Excellent suggestion I have used that method before and it worked perfectly.

[@100PercentFedUp]

Also check o-rings on fittings. I know on Hondas they go bad and cause the whine you are hearing is because it draws in air past leaking o-rings

[@Mr12BS]

Just leave the whine...makes it sound like a Ford.

[@robotion]

"I probably don't want to know" ...quote from a good dad!!!

[@serdneb]

How many here flash backed to their first vehicle with dual exhaust when they saw Hadley’s face and expression?? Priceless! Well done Fabrats!!

[@wildbluewander_1]

my father in law (old school shade tree mechanic) uses a cap full of STP in noisy power steering pumps. So far has worked every time ive seen him do it.

[@dahvay]

Looks like you may have finally found yourself a reliable transmission guy lol. Chad to the rescue again!

[@adamtacheira5323]

Dude! You’re the cool dad! The one that fixes everyone’s car for free. I guarantee those kids will tell their kids about you. My best friend had a cool older brother who did that. He wouldn’t volunteer parts for us, but he’d wrench and help. That was over 34 years ago. Thanks Derrick Avilez!

[@michaelralls2498]

In 74' when I was 18, I bought a 70' Fairlane 2dr ht. same body style. Had a 302 in it. Was a great car wish I still had it.

[@paulquiroz4070]

The kid's face was awesome..... that paid off the time and work....

[@buddamberg6242]

Wow, Paul what an awesome job with that exhaust system on the classic Ford Torino. That’s a really sweet barn find and it sounds absolutely amazing with that exhaust system you put on it.

I had a 68 Cougar with a 302. Someone put glass packs on it at some point, but all the glass fell out over time. They were basically expansion chambers. She made the proper sound under acceleration.

[@toptierautomotive]

Reminds me of when a friend and his dad helped me replace my muffler with a glasspack on my v8 62 ford fairlane. Hands down best sounding car I had ever heard up until that point. Im almost 40 and I still have that car. Dude was so pumped he is hooked for life.

Nice exhaust on the Torino sounds good . Barn finds aren’t to hard to find a run across quite a few here in Montana , Wyoming and Idaho the problem is everyone who has one watches these auctions like Mecum and goes do you know how much this is worth? I’ve had an eye an a sweet 50 Chevy like you just got no rust someone hot rodded it probably late 50s early 60s been in a field by me for at least 10 years and the guy wants a fortune for it and will need a least 15K to get it on the road . I guess we just keep looking and making offers. Thanks for sharing

Once upon a time in Stuart, OK., a group of friends were racing the back roads. I drove my great grandma's 56 Mercury, a buddy was in his dad's 56 Ford and there were several others. Then a young lady pulled up in a 50ish Olds. Looked like the Chevy you picked up. She cleaned our plates. Have wanted one of those Oldsmobiles ever since. Thanks for the video. Brought back memories of the good days.

[@fhgaylor]

Nice job on the Torino. I took driver Ed in one just like that in 1971 in Espanola, NM. Thanks for the memories.

My uncle Frank had a '71 Torino (Fairlane 500 in Venezuela) exactly the same except for the color, it was light green. I learned to drive in it, it was very comfortable and very good for traveling.

II also have a Ford Torino. but then the station squire. from 71 with the 351 Clevland, it is nice to see such a car with you, greetings from the Netherlands

[@DonAshcraft]

My first car was a very well used1970 Ford Torino!! And I drove it like a teenager. It had the 302 and could easily light up one wheel. And with all the rust holes I could feel the back seat with friends and tire smoke. Only had It airborne once. And that was that. 😂😅

[@KRAVER_]

A 71" Torino with a General Lee Horn LOL I LOVE it !! @PAUL you are a good dude helping the kids with their cars is a good thing. reminds me of my friends dad (Walter) growing up. Got to teach these kids right.

[@JIMITHED]

The look on that kids face was priceless

[@kristoffermangila]

That kid is definitely a kid of culture! That is one fine Ford Torino!

[@ccscomments757]

That 4 Dr Torino looks like my grandmother's car. SERIOUSLY. Although hers was green. Same modest hubcaps, same engine. Back in those days, it wasn't unusual for a car to have quite a few generations of muffler. So glad for the mufflers of today which corrode very little. The other problem with that era of Ford.. well there are two: 1. Holes is the floorboards/trunk. 2. That transmission will have issues at about 100K miles (before you you are doing speed trials all the time). Good to see one still on the road. And I still would be sweet for a 2 door version of that car.

[@davelee9087]

The 'deer in the headlights' look when he heard the Torino with a proper exhaust was hilarious! See Paul, Fords can sound good.

[@Lexidezi225]

I like seeing the younger generations getting into the old cars and trucks. Keeps the hope that they'll keep bringing back the classics and the antiques for at least a while longer.

[@jeeper426]

oh man, blast from the past, i had a 1981 square body chevy C10 pickup with glasspacks, true duals, and a set of long tube headers, she was mild at idle, but open the taps on the 4 barrel carb and she'd rattle your head with the rear sliding windw open, oh man, core memory unlocked there brother, i hope he enjoys the car, she sounds pretty sweet with the "turbo style" (through and through) mufflers, i'll bet she sounded even better in person, stay safe out there guys👍👍

[@catfish573]

Back when I worked in a muffler shop in the late 70's and early 80's we call those turbo mufflers. Nice idle and that deep mellow sounds when you poured the coal to it. Nothing sounds better.

[@scottbillings3677]

Ford Torino! Brings me back to summer of '78 right after HS graduation. I went to work for my brothers excavating company but I needed a car to get to work. My other brother had a Ford Torino that he had left in NYC at a friends house while he flew out to Japan for a trip. The friends wife went into labor while the car was there and since it was the car closest to the end of the driveway, he took his wife in it to the hospital. NYC has got lots of folks driving crazy and when the friend stopped at a red light, a drunk driver plowed into the back of it and put that trunk into the backseat. Yet the car still drove. In fact it drove them to the hospital and then still drove 2 hours to home and then I got to use it for the summer as my go to work car, and go to the job site in the woods clearing for a new road. Worked fine and made for a fun beater car for the summer. 302 power... aah memories.

Very cool that a kid can appreciate the sounds of a classic, great job 👍

[@jacobthornock317]

Sometimes, the only way I can get that pump to be quiet is to cycle the steering with the motor off about 2 dozen times lock to lock with the front end in the air. It's like the engineer couldn't find the right spot for the flow through on the box and made it work. Keep the old girl running as long as you can.

[@georgevindo]

That's very good of you Paul, for helping the young fellow out with new exhaust. Hope you remembered the gas line leak. I wonder why those Taco pumps are so noisy? Good video, thanks.

A 302 in a Torino. That's a combo you don't see every day. Nice car. You're a good man for helping the kid.

[@mattwilliams3456]

I like Hadley’s attitude. I’ve always thought a big sedan or wagon from the 30’s-50’s would be a fun project base for a DIY electric conversion. They generally have more than enough room to put in cheaper non-EV specific batteries, and they didn’t have crap for HP or torque to begin with, so by balancing the weight added by the batteries vs what you remove with the old engine and transmission, and putting in motor that gives you at least a bit more power than stock you should have something that doesn’t drive to badly. Not going to get crazy range without going all out on the batteries since the cars are so heavy, but you should be able to get something with enough juice for running around town or shorter commutes without exploding the budget.

[@coolerman4u]

Seeing the look on his face when he hears it when stood by the shop door says it all. If I could afford to take my Discovery to you for an exhaust build I would. Although it doesn't sound too bad with the main silencer deleted just leaving the tiny factory one at the rear.

[@marcfox622]

When removing tie rod ends and hitting them with a hammer to pop them loose I see you usually use your green dead blow ball peen hammer. I knew guys in an alignment shop and they didn't like using a dead blow ball peen hammer, they said a regular wooden handle ball peen works better. It provides more of an initial shock which is what you want to knock loose tie rod ends. Give it a try and see if it works!
