So I don't want to be a downer on Mothers Day, but boy did this hit home, right where I live. My Dad was a lot like your Dad, Paul, a heavy equipment mechanic by trade and a guy who could fix/build/create anything by necessity. Born in 27, Navy in WWII. Hot Rodder extraordinaire. He taught me the same skills you have learned from your Dad. He taught me to braze, I did my first water pump R&R on an Oldsmobile Toronado when I was 8. He had broken his hand at work, and I was his hands. It was my uncles car, his brother...who somehow couldn't do more than put gas in the car. He teased me a lot until the day an 8 year old fixed his car for him. I am almost 63. Married for 42 years to my high school sweetheart too. I lost Dad when I was 24. He passed 5 months before his first grandchild arrived. He was 56. I still have that Lincoln Buzz Box, and a PowerMig, and some other nice tools, and I have done my best to teach my now grown sons the lessons he taught me. Seeing you with your Dad...really got to me. I don't mean to lecture, but don't take a single minute for granted, you are Blessed beyond measure to have him there and to see your kids grow up. I can tell you know it, I just had to say it. If the world wants to solve its problems, the same men who built it are around...they teach the values of self reliance, honesty, integrity, and the value of family bonds. In other words, they need to look at your folks and the lives you and Michelle have built, and follow in your footsteps. God Bless you guys. Sorry for the rant.

I never met your Dad, but I can relate. My Dad was born in 27, out in eastern Washington state, and is still with us today. At 16 he was hired by his neighbor to rebuild a combine, had the reputation as a very young man as the best combine operator anywhere around. I inherited his mechanical ability, and ended up an engineer in Silicon Valley without the benefit of any 4 year engineering degree. I build the very first computer disk coater in the very early 1980's, and after 50 years old reinvented myself as an IT and AV consultant. Today, at 67 years old I have all the work that I want, and am very blessed. Thanks be to God for his goodness, and all the blessings that have come my way.

I still have it and in the process of restoring it, I bought some parts for it but still have some ways to go but I will do it and get Yesterday's Chevrolet running again 👍🇺🇸..

As luck would have it when we told your Mom we saw this place on KZbin when Matt and Paul stopped after one of Matt's recoveries. Your Mom answered with " Paul is right over there having his lunch. Go talk to him . He don't bite!" It was a pleasure meeting you your Mom and some of your crew. Thanks for the conversation and have a great trip to the Rubicon and Fordyce trails here in the California Sierra Mountains! Remember you have my card if something we can help you with comes up while your out here. Oh yea we met Matt and his crew Friday at his shop ( the one with the hole in the wall) on Friday too!

First due to your wedding picture white tuxedos are gonna make a huge comeback... I think people connect to your channel because you all are genuine. The content you create touches people because it shows life's basics. Family, friends, hard work, the things that matter. Nothing special, the simple things in a complex world that give life meaning, purpose, fulfillment. Things that everyone has the potential to have, do and achieve. You do this with humility and a sense of humor. Just makes it better. This may sound corny but I think its accurate.

Paul. Read this one: I'm a 64 year old retired Mechanical Design Engineer. Part of my time was as a Design Engineer for a major Japanese motorcycle company. I had tons of the best talented Fabricators money could buy and we had a near limitless budget. I learned a bunch from those guys. However, in all my years of designing, engineering, and fabricating I never met a single individual with so much talent and ability. I watch you make cardboard templates with a maker and in no time you have fabricated a part. Need to machine something? No problem just go over the old Lathe. Of course, there is the welding.... Thanks. You blow my mind at what you can do and how humble you are about doing it. I'm learning from you. Thank you for showing us how to get it done! From John in Fallbrook, CA PS Vice Grip Garage is one of my favorites too as is "Musti 1".

Paul, your father reminds me of my own father, he could build anything with nothing and sometimes we brought more stuff home from the dump than we took out there!!👍🇺🇸

Deadly to see the back story. Watching with a while after seeing Paul with Matt. Family is the most important. I can see your own kids getting the same core values from you both. Just Deadly

This family is the best representation of America that I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. Hard work, love and respect for your elders, keep an open mind and a fellowship with your neighbor, take care of your family, and fend for yourself. You make me proud to be an American and give me hope for the future of our country. The wierdos on the coasts ( where I live) refer to you as "fly over country" but I refer to you as the essence of America. You are the personification of what has, and continues to make this country great. Enough said.

Thank you SO much for sharing this, guys. I loved watching it, and learning loads. I think Paul's ways of doing things is brilliant-I can see now where he gets his style from; his dad is an absolute legend ! I would have loved a dad like that. I look forward to your videos, and it would be great to see you out in demolition derbies again.[ I have been a life-long fan of banger racing here in England]. All the best guys-keep the great videos coming [cackling is cool, by the way !!]

Love the video, I grew up with a dad who could do most anything, he worked for Southwestern Bell for 34 yrs. he kept our shop full of projects to keep all us neighborhood kids outta trouble we rode three wheelers and built a go kart out of a 65 chevy truck frame and a 283/powerglide. Congradulations on the 100k, I hope you have a million by next May!

That tour of your roots was a blast and having a father that just does it PRICELESS. My dad God rest his soul was not so gifted, he once asked me Michael what wrench is between 7/16 and 9/16 I looked at him and with a straight face said 8/16 after a second a light went off in his head and he realized 1/2"

Probably the best video of yours. This takes me back to my roots. Like you Paul, we made what we needed. I learned to weld on an old Lincoln stick welder too. Dad built many of the tools we needed to do our work. They would never win a beauty contest but held their own where it counted. Thanks for letting us in to your life.

My Dad was exactly like yours. I he needed something, he built it himself. We are originally from Michigan. My folks moved to Florida in 1972. I Joined the Air Force in 1965, when I was 17 yrs. I retired 24 years later and retired in Florida. Love your channel.
