Hillbilly absolutely rocks. Common sense approach to everything I’ve seen him work on. Be great to put him with some repair techs I know who always try to find something complex when the fix is simple.

Great point. At my work we have an engineer division for fixing things and designing new machines. They insist on making everything complex just because they can.

I’ve been following this since Matt’s recovery went and got it then I followed fab rats while Paul and crew worked on it and now following Robby and crew this is one awesome build and ride can’t wait for Ed to see it it’s freaking beautiful.. 🔥🔥🔥👀👀👀👀👀👀👀🥹😎

[@LightningGB93]

That was sweet you talking to Ed and he didn’t know how much you have been working on his Nugget Thanks for bringing us along

[@lensnow8957]

The Golden nugget is the coolest multi garage project I've ever seen done. I'm hoping to get Robby and crew interested in finishing my 72 Malibu. My dear friend and painter had a stroke during his 9-5 and passed in 2009. He was in the middle of painting my Chevelle in his spare time. At the same time in 09 that Dennis had his stroke, I was having major back surgery. Im a disabled veteran and I'd like to have Robby and his crew finish it. Ill be emailing him pics and the story. I'd appreciate any interest shown. These guys are the best at what they do. Can't wait to see Eds face on the reveal. The parade was sooo cool. Great gesture helping out the veterans in need! Enjoy Memorial day everyone!

The rescue of the 5 ton was the icing on the cake crew! Slick city moves from Hillbilly saved the day! Sometimes you gotta make chicken salad outa chicken s**t! When your in the hills, you learn to do or die. That’s what all of you have done for Ed. He will enjoy the chicken salad but I doubt he will ever let anyone know exactly how much. You can tell that’s just ED. That’s how he is and how he was raised. Thank you guys for getting the Nugget done for him. Can’t wait to see how that golden charger turns out. We all know you guys are growing tired of that particular color after what y’all went through

[@elizabethcox555]

Ed's arms are really weathered. I hope he is able to enjoy the Golden Nugget for awhile. It would be a shame if he couldn't drive it some once it's completed. My Mom smoked Camel non-filters for many years and eventually they won.

Great Job. YOU ALL are showing people what a beyouthefull life this is. Hillbilly's skills are worth their weight in gold, saving the day, Dinner is shining like always and Robby is making the space for all the great things to happen with his vice grip fingers and very professional and courteous way of being. All of the support that makes it all happen isn't to be forgot as key pieces to the puzzle.

[@Studzilla-is-here]

You guys are very nice. Love my Sundays with you. Sir Ed looks great

[@elspethsilverstar6136]

Man, what a lucky group of people to have one another. Ed's rig is just amazing. The paint job on it, alone, just shows the workmanship. It's so obvious that so much work was put into it, each person putting in his or her contribution. I think everyone's face gave away how much they enjoyed giving it to him. Jaimie looked like she was having the time of her life!

[@rickwatson1000]

WOW !!! I have no idea what a project like this would cost a client? So many flat rate hours and custom work in labor cost for all parties involved. Great work guys

[@karlschwaber9568]

The best body guys, like Robby, get a minimum of $60/hour here. They worked at least a week straight and about 18 hours a day during the build week. And that was just the finish work and not the body work. Crazy amount of hours. Plus a different chassis and drive train! My guess would be around $60k.

[@rayseal1099]

Paint and body easy $10 k plus. I would say total about $20k.. Plus $$ the bike and trailer. Budget 30k with labour parts.. A body /painter about $150 a hour in australia

[@joelvanderploeg6733]

You heard him say thousands of hours. Thats thousands with an "s". So at least 2000 hours. $60/hr would be below operating cost for a shop like that. 2000 hours at 60+ dollars per hour = $120,000+ or the worlds most expensive Suzuki LJ20...

[@rogerfrancis65]

Minimum of 100k!

[@RVMD95]

The work in this vehicle would be 750,000+ most likely double that when you add in parts and labor. I have a friend who works in the restoration business. He restores 1950s European race cars and a bill to the customer at 1,000,000+ is not unusual. This vehicle here reminds me of what he does to his vehicles. He told me you paint a Pinto or you paint a Ferrari there is no difference in price as the work that goes in is the same. The trick is make sure in the end the vehicle you’re working on is going to be worth the price of admission. Of course this one is not. But when you add in how awesome Ed and his friends are you can see it’s more than worth every penny. Keep up the great work guys.

[@livingadamman7994]

It ain't dinner time, IT"S BIG DINNER TIME ! Hill billy is a champion at starting trucks and jack of all trades. Cody is quite achiever but right on his game. Robby is the paint and panel shop master. The Golden Nugget is above and beyond expectations. Awesome work !

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

This is an incredible story! With most great stories, I have mixed feelings about getting to the ending and reading that last page. Oh, I want know the ending, but I get so attached to the characters and story lines that the end is sometimes bitter sweet. That is not the case here! Like most of the viewers, I can’t wait to see the part where Ed gets the Golden Nugget! We are fortunate to have witnessed such awesome work and dedication on the part of everyone involved. We are also fortunate that all of our story characters will continue on in more exciting adventures. Special thanks to Hillbilly for his work on the military truck.

Robby, I have really enjoyed watching your painstaking restoration of the golden nugget. Amazing work by an amazing crew. I also love restoring old items from wooden antique furniture to old cars, lawn mowers, generators, you name it. There is something so satisfying about taking something that is just about ready for the junkyard and bringing it back to life. I spent 22 years in the Marines and 17 years with Homeland Security and I have finally retired. Restoring things is very calming and helps with the PTSD. Thank you for an amazing journey. I can't wait to see his face when he gets the Golden Nugget back. P.S. Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on the Charger. Oh, and I love your wife and daughter's jokes. So sweet!
