An awesome burnout with a couple of Juvenile Delinquents!! LOL One for the ages!

[@NoahFroio]

I hope that Mary Pat is watching this with the biggest smile ever!! So cool to see her late husband's truck coming together so nicely with the parts you already had, it really was, just meant to be!!

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

well the motor was build by pauls cousin, but i get ya.

[@brucehowe3477]

Love the uncontrollable laughter of two brothers as they realize they have built “The Beast” and haze the tires off it!😂😂

[@jimepperson2075]

I’ve never seen Paul react this way “ ever” when doing a burnout. See his face and eyes Wow this is an “animal “ . Even Ben is surprised too. Look how long those tires just 🔥 burned. Way to go guys.

[@oldguysoldbikes]

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

I love how grand ma comes in to check things out. That's love

That is surely just a habit after raising these boys.........😏

[@gilbertsantos2969]

The look on your guy's face after the first burnout priceless

[@knightshappyfarm]

I'm 70 and my first reaction to that burn-out was my 19 year old self just smilin big, wishin I was in the seat next to you. Then my parent self shook my head and wondered if the police would come. You two are Great to watch!!!

[@JT_70]

I’m 70 and my reaction was “Tires are too expensive to destroy them like that just for childish fun.” Glad the brothers are having so much fun and laughter. Makes me miss my departed brother even more.

[@Jammer0825]

Never gets old my friend!! 60 and still doing burnouts!!

Paul Is Stuck At 19! He Does That To Every Car He Builds. I Just Wonder WHY?

[@nuttinbedder2do70]

@@davidcampbell4465 those are party lights. I have seen the cops turn them on to celebrate burnouts. At least thats my take.

[@jigmonster101]

Since having Ben in the shop as part of the Crew is beyond a blessing in my humble opinion. Seeing him and Paul ,as brothers, laughing, joking and sharing what they love to do, together, is just awsome! This video especially, with the test ride and the laughs and smiles of Paul and Ben makes me think of their childhood and how much fun they had together doing somthing that showed those same emotions.. It's even better since grandma Lolly is there running the Rat Shack and keeping a loving and comical eye on her boys. I Love seeing you all together ❤ Even though I've not been able to personally meet you all yet, just watching , since Paul's "EZ Duz it" youtube videos years ago that I stumbled across, I instantly knew you all were an amazing, caring and God fearing family! And since the beginning of the Fab Rats channel, my beliefs and certainty have came through, even stronger, with each new video!

[@billywill903]

My wife and I were lucky enough to visit Fab Rats in September. Truly wonderful & genuine family just like you see here, with Grandma Lolly knowing every detail of every project. We’re pretty sure she’s in charge and the boys do all the work.

[@game9370x]

two brothers having fun, it can't get any better! loving the content paul, nice job with the edits michelle!

[@dalegnodle]

Michele is amazing. Love the soundtrack!

Ha ha, me too. I'm 56, and still smile at big Smokey burnouts. Great to see two grown ass men laughing like schoolboys.

[@kenwright3919]

That so cool 😅

[@adamtebrugge4937]

Ben's face during the burnout was priceless!

[@randomheroat420]

I haven't seen you and Ben with a smile like that the entire fab rats career! Awesome stuff guys, keep it up!

[@troycurrie7784]

I was going to say I've never seen Paul laugh so hard or have such a big smile on his face in any videos...almost doesn't even look like him! 😃

[@remorrey]

It doesn't get any better than this! Older brother Ben and young kid Paul creating classic content. Such a cool mom still a great part of the lives. Just wish Papa was here to witness this in the flesh...but then again, he has the best seat in the house. Hunter...you dun real good!

[@larrygawne3529]

Your brother the perfect addition to the shop.

[@ntme6506]

Love that your mamma spends her days with her boys. It's obvious that it makes her day watching her boys work together.

[@levikelley1842]

That's what Paul lives for, I don't know if I've ever seen those two smiling like that. Best part is I wonder how many times in how many vehicles those two did that growing up!

[@waltermila]

Paul and Ben smiling and laughing made my day!!!!! That truck is a beast!!!!!

[@Gowherejeepsgo]

About 18 min in you see the pure enjoyment ppl can get outta life. That's some memories that last a life time I bet.

[@larryisreal8150]

Grandma has to keep a close eye on you because she knows you. Like a guardian angel.

[@paulandreassen9964]

The looks on your faces! “As proud as a puppy with two peters!” What a cool hot rod.

[@marvincarter870]

Mary Pat would be so proud of this truck and Grandma Lally is keeping an eye on her boy's all the time and making sure they eat lunch. This '42 is a beast and is going to be a great rod and ride!

[@10223220]

Now that's a burnout 👍

[@brianstansbury8249]

That was awesome I think Paul and Ben were even surprised with the pure power .

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

The more i watch Paul's cousin's channel, the more i'm convinced Merlon is really actually a wizard. Some of the stuff he knows about combinations of parts that work together to do something they weren't designed for is cool. (Like converting basically *any* higher output alternator into a trail welder, no Premier Power Welder needed.)

[@neeterb5584]

This video just made me grin for so many reasons. There's something about Paul that reminds me of my dad -- his build, the twinkle in his eye, the joy he has in life. Dad was a shade tree mechanic. He worked in his father's gas station before being drafted for WWII. Most of the jobs he had later involved cars and their parts. He always carried baling wire and one of his solutions was a bigger hammer. Watching Paul and Ben on the test drive was watching two brothers carried back to day's in high school and the joy of burning rubber.

[@stevedahl3689]

Merlin is a BEAST!!!! His man trucks are absolutely awesome! He is a great cousin to have, guys!!!

[@rudyhaalilio8095]

I like the way you both just look at each other in laughter... pure joy...

[@steelmill888]

It's great to see Hunter getting some hands on.He has some good teachers.

[@melissariley9327]

I love grand Ma I love u all FABRATS FAMILY

[@fangoriously1]

Man I wish I had the same connection with my brother as Paul and Ben. I haven't chatted with my brother in years. Had a few friends that were close as brothers, but I had to make a change in my life and I am unfortunately/fortunately on a different path in my life. Thanks for letting me come along virtually.

[@georgehampton7579]

That was my favorite intro yet!!🤣✌️✌️ The contagious joy had me smiling!

[@741662027]

Love how they laughed in sync! 🙂

[@andrewruble7706]

The smile on Paul and Ben's faces was priceless. That is an amazing little truck! Great Job

Great build, I'm sure Mary Pat is thrilled. Love watching both of you having so much fun! The Grandma Lolly montage was very funny, she's the best shop supervisor, haha.

It doesn’t get any better than that big old Smokey Burnout. Great video guys, Michelle does an awesome editing job as always.

[@SJCDAVE]

You can't go too far wrong with a quadrajet. Loved seeing those secondaries open up. Adjusting the float level with the top off the carburetor is something I have done. Just be careful you don't lose the check ball from the accelerator pump! That segment should be labeled "don't try this at home, lots of things can go wrong".

[@dave_n8pu]

The main problem with a stock Quadrajet is the bog when you first hit the firewall with throttle, I had that problem on my new 1970 GTO back in the day. The way I had it fixed was to put a new intake and a Holley dual pump, dual squirt, dual feed. Then when I ask for power, I got it right away, not later. The stock Quad is okay, but not the best for instant power.

[@SJCDAVE]

@@dave_n8pu that was a common problem back in the day. I found the problem was the air valves (or butterflies) were not adjusted right. There is a spring tension adjustment which helped. But the CFM was still limited by the smaller primaries.

[@tonyurquhart8278]

...and hope it doesn't backfire up through the carb. Instant Fire Pit! (ask me how I know...)

Paul’s face is like when my son first went on my bike. Shock and awe Love it

[@johnnori7465]

It is so cool to see Merlon on Motortrend! Nice burnout!

[@rickharding1788]

I started watching Paul because he was building things from scratch. he reminded me of myself, he would have an idea and then build it. that concept has changed. its more about family and friend outings and buying things to bolt on. I learned different ways of making what I wanted to build. all of us don't have the funds or the desire to buy the things we want. It gives me more satisfaction to build it myself the way Paul used to. I would like to see more of that in the future. lets get back to the basics of fabrication.

[@behunin1963]

Guys you make me smile every time. Two thoughts: 1. Pull the tires on the front for easier work access. 2. Splashy gas, for me equaled big fireball in my parent’s garage. That was a special moment. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rat0023]

Now that is a proper burn out. Just seen to guys go back to their teens. Hunters reactions was awesome.
