TRANSMISSION Re-build for a CUSTOM CORVAIR WAGON!

[@BikingVikingHH]

These people are real Americans. Genuine. You know their word is good and a handshake agreement is as good as anything can be. Quite an inspiration really. I think a lot Of people watch this channel who maybe don’t even own a vehicle (certainly aren’t fabricators/off roaders), but they lack in their own life the sincerity and richness in human exchange that is so prevalent in both this and Matt’s channel; they watch the channel because it makes them feel good. Everybody in these videos genuinely loves those around them, everybody is being helpful, happy and it’s quite heart warming. Watching this channel has inspired me to buy a welder so I can build a Jeep WJ, and fiddle with my 70 Camaro. I have enough mechanical sympathy to figure out out as I go, fixed a garden rake last night for practice! Looks like I fixed it with boiled metal bubble gum lol, but everything is a learning process! Thank you to everyone who is involved in making these videos, from the cameraman to the editor, and of course the “stars”. You’ve cheered me up and lit a fire under my ass. Keep it up, that’s a direct order.

[@FabRats]

Man, we love your comments!! Comments like these is what makes this whole KZbin thing all worth it. Thanks for being awesome!!

[@BikingVikingHH]

@@FabRats I get emotional sometimes lol, I’m glad you appreciate it. Your whole family and crew are beautiful, keep sharing it! Many people grew up without these things, you sharing these videos enriches peoples lives more than you know.

[@JorgeMartinez1987]

Don't listen to these clowns complaining about the commercial. You guys did a great job keeping it fun and creative. I actually enjoyed it as much as the rest of the video. Keep it up. 100% support from real fans.

[@FabRats]

Thank you!! You’re awesome!!

[@misiluki100]

I didn't mind the commercial at all. What I despised was KZbin interrupting it with one of their own.

I myself have always avoided messing with any automatic transmission but you made it look so easy great job

[@Creekbreezy]

Really glad for the paid promotion. This is a channel I would to love to see continue making amazing content

[@davidbaldwin1591]

15:00 If an air compressor is noisy: In addition to setting it outside, connect the compressor suction to a piece of pipe, run the pipe to just under the edge of the roof overhang, then install the air filter of choice. You will be surprised how quiet it is.

[@brandonholt6553]

I really love how y'all like mountain dew (should be a sponsor) so much! And not much swearing. Such a great family show! Thank you 💟 it's great to a couple of Southern utah peeps getting a little love

[@stevenwithanS]

It's cool that you and Matt use bits of the same footage. I forget wich channel I'm watching sometimes. All good stuff.

[@justinmills8084]

It's nice to watch a channel that i am not hearing four letter words and is entertaining and educational. I have a stand, like your family does, I don't watch what my kids and grandkids do not have to leave the room. Thanks keep up the great work and God bless.

[@FabRats]

Thanks for the support! Merry Christmas to you!

[@TheTaylorfam1988]

Love the sign in the salon: "Do What You Love, Love What You Do." Good advice and definitely evident in Fab Rats and Matt's Offroad organizations.

[@jrzyboy99]

Fab-Rats and Matt’s Off-road are a great team no doubt! It nice to see the stuff we missed on Matt’s video.

[@katokhaelan4881]

Dude, exactly. These two channels are on my short list of must watch videos. I can't wait for more

[@bkind2182]

How does one guy know how to do so many different things and more importantly how to do them so well???? Nice job Paul! Love the channel, your family and friends! Thanks for sharing with us!...

[@FabRats]

Thank you for watching!!

[@10100rsn]

Such confidence through that entire build. That is experience.

[@extremeshophogs2447]

Just another day fellas!!!! I've worked around Paul and Matt. Totally different styles but both get the job done right. Paul is the smartest guy I've been around but he portrayes it all nonchalant. 😎🤙

[@subhadaskrishnan6982]

I dono y but my heart melts when FAB and MAT works together. It takes a good heart to make mat to work in fab's shop as his own. U two hav very warm relationship, keep it up bros.... God bless u..

[@wesgraham9588]

Paul you are so polite ! Matt when he gets an idea you can’t change his mind. But You put up with it

[@tofadeisastart]

The fab rats guy is impressive. And he’s got a regular day job. Pretty cool

[@bikingfordays6951]

Very cool keep going back and forth with fab rags and Matt’s channel

[@richardgivens1132]

Fab rats is a very good Channel. The way he put the transmission back together very awesome.

[@eformance]

Ahh, one video clip brings all of Matt's Universe together! I learned about "Junky" and the Corvair addiction when searching on the Internet. He started Red Ryder towing and bought Winder, now he's finishing the wagon and redeeming himself!

[@BikingVikingHH]

2:15 Matt, that is the most convoluted way of making a bracket/socket/cradle for your radiator I’ve ever heard, it was funny because Paul’s idea is fantastic but you were emotionally attached to your process, I understand. I understand completely.

[@VisionMW3]

IDK how I found Fab Rats and Matt's channels but I'm glad I did.

[@FabRats]

We’re glad you did too!👍🏻😎

[@dom4christ]

you are the kind of guys that have made America the country that most people admire. May God bless you

[@pmae9010]

You guys make a really good team, your 'in shop' comradery is fun to watch. It reminds me of myself, my father and brother and many friends working on projects together. Great job as well.

[@ghoststoriesandadventureti5701]

Paul is a Transmission Devil Master!!!! I want to learn more about transmissions now. and the wood splitter is Bad Ass!!!!

[@TheDon8771]

The Fab-Matts wagon. The color of the trans looks good

[@diggerdog6649]

Great job Paul. Was at Matt's place last week before he took it up to your place. You must have been born with the auto repair guide implanted in your brain when you were born. Amazing, just amazing. Take care and be safe out there.

[@johnnysaffel797]

Paul you are a master. Jack of all trades

[@jamesglacken6170]

I've watched this vid 100times. Gotta love the chemistry between everyone.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I love Micelle's humour. She sees the funny side of every situation, and keeps the team having positive attitudes. I'm sure I am not alone in wanting to know Paul's background. He has serious skills in so many aspects of vehicle building, and he surely had to have some sort of formal training to learn some of that stuff. At Ford (UK) Product Development where I worked for 40 years, the transmission bay was manned by wizards who rebuilt transmissions using secret spells and black arts, and they would be horrified to see Paul giving up their secrets.

[@permaquilter9111]

It's genetic. Paul's daddy can build/fix/invent anything. And has.

[@rockinstone123]

It finally dawned on me! This reminds me of the comedy Johnny Cash's song "One piece at a time" where he puts a Cadillac together from parts from 49-70 he "collected" when he worked for GM. There was a video of it that was hilarious. 0f course, any song Johnny Cash sang was my favorite

[@sebastiend.5335]

I love how this vehicle is coming together and the fun you guys have doing it!

[@pumptruckjim]

Impressive that someone can learn to design and repair stuff like that. I still cant figure out how to program my light timers.

[@icantsaywhat]

I’m not a big fan of corvairs but that is one bad ass Corvair. I would not mind owning Matt’s corvair 4x4. You make rebuilding an entire trans look so easy. In my experience it’s no where near that easy Keep up the great videos

[@johnmccaughan4195]

Paul you are an amazing man of many talents. Matt is not real receptive to suggestions but they should be made anyway. You both are very good at what you do. Thanks for sharing.

[@tadheath5856]

Sweet !!!!!!! I love it when u guys work together......👍👍 compressor didn't bother me...I bought a gal and half mini compressor and put it in my livingroom with the drain valve open just enough for it go off every 5 minutes just so it feels like home...lmfao!!!!!!! CANT WAIT FOR THAT BUILD!!!!!.. WELL BOTH NOW...LOL!!!!

[@tooligan113]

Fab Rat Paul is a hell of a good fabricator, mechanic and inventor!!! Would like to watch more about how Paul and Matt know each other.

[@29floridaguy]

Best time in shop was building my turbo 350 with my teacher in spare time. He had me get a smiling jack shift kit. My '80 camero was awesome. So cheap as well 60$ for a core from junkyard and 220$ in parts

[@buddycarroll9665]

Being a gear head for years I look forward to your videos. Always something different..thx.

[@hosshoffer7579]

Wow, that was a blast. I was there for just a little bit and am completely amazed at how much work Paul can do from his shop. Good luck on your next build and a very Merry Christmas to you all.

[@leroyackerson8540]

Reminds so much my younger years! Air compressor and all. Thank you. Worked a transmission shop in my 20s. It's best to ..peign?..sounds like peen... sheet metal oil pans. Rest a small ballpein hammer on the bolt holes in the pan, tap with another to lightly dimple the opening up a bit. Helps the seal.

Well we appreciate you! Thanks for watching!

[@jimshoe6828]

Well Paul, you make it look so easy. I love the 'what's this part?' & then you toss it. I always try to see if I can do with less parts than the original!! 🤨😉 With as many times as Matt was running the lift up & down, you would think he would have it figured out.🤔😁 Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing the final results!!

[@wesallen4228]

Putting it back together from memory. Nice.

[@alani2071]

I was watching Matt's off road recovery and he mentioned Fab Rats helping with the corvair build. Now I'm hooked on both. I can feel and smell both shops as shops should be. Great natural talent to both of you and all great personalities !!!

I happily have not seen the inside of a transmission since the 1980s. Great job Paul. Nice camera work. Nice to see Lady also. Surprised Matt is not doing a joint transfer case for more choices.

[@karintippett753]

Back in the day in our signshop before vinyl we used One Shot enamels for hand lettering trucks et al. After the lease on the vehicle was up we used Easy Off oven cleaner to remove the paint so the customer did not need to repaint the vehicle before giving it back. Spray it on, leave it for a minute, then wash with water and the One Shot would come right off. On metallic finishes it would occasionally strip the clear coat off the vehicle as well which sucked but still better than having to repaint the entire vehicle again.

Thanks for another video slice of your lives folks. When watching Paul reassemble that automatic transmission I suddenly had a memory from my youth that I'd been suppressing of installing a shift kit into a Turbo 350. It's wonderful to know that qualified craftsman like Paul, Rudi and Matt are still out there as I know I'm never, ever, never going inside another automatic transmission... did I mention ever? Thanks again and all the best to you folks this Christmas Season.
