[@406Papa69]

I’m not a gear head, or a car girl. But you inspire me to work on my truck! You make me feel like I can do anything, my husband is disabled, but I have kept his tools, his welder, plasma cutter, I think I can use them!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Welcome to "KZbin University"! You'll learn allot of things to Not do,and all the Right things too.

[@manuelve1998]

Include the advice that you will get from your husband into what you are going to work on. He will probably enjoy seeing his stuff being used again too!

[@larryfreeman7979]

love your attitude 😊👍

[@detroitdiy]

Welcome aboard, Shawn. I think Paul should reveal exactly how many cousins he has. Every time he gets around people, someone is his cousin. Like Matt says 50 cousins.

[@dmcpeck]

Big families equal loads of cousins.😁

[@donniemcdaniel537]

Matt said when he meet Merlin, he said he already meet 40 of Paul's kin folk, so who was this Merlin

[@rossmeldrum3346]

In southern Utah just about every other person for 100 miles in any direction is a relative. As my Dad always said, "be careful where you throw a rock you may hit a relative"

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

I fully believe that Hunter really is related to Paul, just somewhere along the Cox lineage, there were "those Cox's we don't talk about." 🤔 😂

[@RobRoyRoadie]

@@UmmmmmmmWhat his last name IS Cox, right?

[@downhill64]

Not as easy as it looks to stand in front of a camera, great job Sean

[@wescollins7331]

Paul, you must feel so incredibly blessed to be able to make a living doing something you love, and to be able to pull your family/friends up with you. Was awesome to see Ben and Hunter get folded into the shop family, and I'm sure Sean will do great as well.

[@GrayRaceCat]

Even though Hunter is also a Cox, they said early on that he's not related. They might have been kidding, who knows!

[@bhurley5243]

I'm glad you clarified the sound issue. I have pulled my hair out adjusting the sound settings on my TV.

[@patrickschaefer786]

Holy Crap!!! Ben lives 3+ hours away from the shop, I think I remember that from another video but forgot. Thank You for including your family especially Ben, he adds a lot of knowledge and different perspective to your videos. Ben thank you for your dedication to the channel and for sacrificing time away from your family. Love how you include your family in the videos especially when your kids are making something, I also like it on Chads Fab too.

[@paulrivers7248]

Is it 3 hrs? I thought in that 1 video Ben had said it was 1 hr away that he has to drive.. but even if it's just 1 hr that's 2 hrs rou d trip but good gah if he lives 3 away then he is driving 6 hrs round trip that just don't seem logical lol

[@mattkivela7720]

My guess is drive down Monday morning, stay with his mom couple nights, drive home Wednesday.

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

According to google maps its 3 1/2 hours from Payson to Glendale. Pretty much halfway across Utah. If they weren't family...

[@turk71385]

@@utahjohnnymontana3373 yeah, people probably making the same mistake I did. Punch Payson to Glendale into google and it gives you Arizona which is a 1.5 hour drive (according to it) not the 3 hour drive from Payson, UT to Glendale, UT. Maybe they are located on the outskirts of Payson and Glendale, respectively, and it's not the full 3+ hour drive between? I'm not going to be nozy enough to go searching for the exact location unless I ever find myself in Glendale, UT. I doubt it's only a 1 hour drive though, that would be no reason for the 3 day per week thing. Hell, I drive that time daily for work, and some people I work with drive quite a bit further. I've also known some that live even further away, rent a shared appartment, and commute on the weekends. I don't understand it, but people have their reasons. They've got their reasons, regardless of what those are, I'm glad they do it because I enjoy watching.

[@dilloncline2462]

I love watching these guys. The entire fab rats family is absolutely amazing and extremely enjoyable to watch. Paul and Ben are definitely my favorites in the shop, that’s if I had to pick lol but i love everyone on the show.

[@game9370x]

the fact that i could perfectly hear hunter clearing up his throat but not paul talking was absolutely hilarious. we love some good old fails 😂

[@DevoBill]

So tell us about this new equipment?

[@ggalland1]

Welcome Sean! Nothing like getting thrown into the deep end and just get to working and having to talk and explain what your doing! You will be a great addition to the team!

[@carenclemmons5002]

Yah, we’re here to learn and laugh

[@davepurce5883]

I remember when Paul still had his day job. Good luck guys. Great channel.

[@PaulBarwick]

Michelle, you have been doing an amazing job editing these videos. It is going to take someone really good to step into your shoes. Thank you for all the hours that you have spent helping keep us entertained.

[@Amisafeyet]

I know that Paul is focused on moving forward but I have a soft spot in my heart for that white Toyota. The work he did using that truck was what got me watching. What a tough truck. He pushed it hard.

[@Koontzy.]

It will be back on the channel soon. He is getting a LS built for it.

[@iquo407]

Is comming back

[@smcox1991]

Someone missed the last video

[@JMassengill]

How you recover after failure sets you apart from the crowd. Really enjoy your content. Family friendly and always consistent.

[@Ben-311]

Idea for a bonus video a month. Paul could just operate the can crusher while telling derby stories. I'd watch that.

[@seanworkman431]

I would.

[@jlyonsden3677]

Welcome Cuz. Do not fire Hunter. He drives a Chebby. It's Bowtie or no Tie. Growing pains are a good thing to have except when they are around the waist. You guys have a great thing going and love your channel. Square bodies 4 life! Mine has pulled many a 4x out but It has never pulled another Chebby out. True story, not fake news. 🤟✌️

[@davetve-howto1830]

I like watching fab rats for Pauls shop skills and funny shop humor. Paul should stay in the shop and make the videos and let Sean run errands. Don’t forget who the star is and who the people sign in to watch every night.

[@bombero3368]

Nice! Hunter throwing some friendly shade!

[@papatomsthoughts]

I think Shawn will be a good addition after he gets used to talking to a camera. I like the idea of seeing Michelle more often, we miss her. God bless

[@garyhilton1179]

I agree..more Michelle. She has a great laugh, but I bet Paul knows that.

[@jeffmonroe9766]

Not to mention she's beautiful unlike rest of them.

[@ottawa875]

Welcome to Fab Rats Shawn! Oil pan, quickly learned with Paul, do it twice make it nice!

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Welcome aboard cousin Shawn! Hope you like wheeling. Oh and yes YT university is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@claudiogonzalezvaras9776]

Welcome Shawn......and the family keeps growing.....

[@timburgess4149]

The clarity of the video is great.

[@kirbydolak8954]

Hey Paul. Something I learned early in my carpentry profession. Doing math with fractions. Like half of 3/4". Multiply the denominator by two (the number on the bottom which is 4) making it an 8. Keep the numerator (top number) the same, 3. Making 3/8. So half 3/4 is 3/8+ 3/8. So half of 69 3/4 is 34 1/2 + 3/8 or 34 7/8". Easy peasy. But I like your tape measure empirical method. Take care kind Sir. Always enjoy watching your episodes. Welcome to Shawn. You're gonna have some fun.

[@rolandtb3]

Another great family addition, welcome Sean on Thurs/Fri. So what is Michelle going to do once the finishing editor position is filled? More focused on building your wrecker business. Increased shows/speciality projects? Shop expansion, yard cleanup, family time? Help us out Michelle.

[@iffykidmn8170]

Soap operas and Bonbons.

[@dv7548]

IDEA: How about placing that number and company name on the wall in the work area (you choose where). People could see it while Paul working on a project (camera moving around) and if they need your assistance they'll call.

[@b.r.3232]

Grade's is growing up and is going to be a dapper young man! You guys should be proud!

[@michaelwenzel3196]

Thanks for the update - love you guys!

[@lockdoc600]

Hey Paul and crew....watching this video you mentioned getting a key switch and a light bulb came on! I closed out a 30 year locksmithing career and have lots of OEM Briggs and Stratton ignition locks for GM on hand! Would you like some or all of them? There are two different styles with of GM ignition locks. The older is just a push to install lock with the newer being locked in with a screw. I have both styles and they are your for the asking! Also have door lock parts and pieces for many autos. If you find you need something just ask.....

[@Highplains_Dirtbagger]

Holy cow. Fab Rats in 4k. The video upgrade I didn’t know I needed! 😂

[@williamlind2843]

I love watching Paul use that old lathe! I've been a CNC lathe machinist for 35 years. I always tell the new kids they need to know how to machine something manually before you can program a machine to do it. The young guys will say I'm crazy/stupid, but that's the reason it will take 6 guys to replace me when I leave!! You guys are the reason I'm building a shop at home. It's minimal and temporary since I want out of Commiefornia.

[@SoundwaveX7]

Welcome to the Fab Rats Shawn! I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll adapt to the shop. :)

[@chipprice1174]

WOW! From you by yourself, to Two employees! A lota talent in your family!

[@bjeppers7712]

A guy with a full time job and a cool hobby on the side. Turned it into 4 employees, about to be 2 editors, new equipment, shop improvements, and 350 projects simultaneously. The channel has come a long way and I’m happy to see it.

[@christophersells9146]

I Think total is 5 Now.. Paul, Ben, Shawn, His wife and her Sister in-law..

[@jaycooper2812]

I know all about large families. My father was number 20 of 23 children. The last family reunion I went to before my grandfather passed away we had almost 500 people. I have cousins with children older than I am. The age difference between my father and his oldest brother was 29 years. There was 3 sets of twins and 2 sets of triplets. I never met my grandmother on my father's side because she died when my dad was 4 years old. I have over 250 first and second cousins.

[@eldonhalliburton4766]

Shawn get comfortable be yourself and enjoy the ride. We all love fabrats you should fit right in. We need some Paul story’s Shawn!

[@icantsaywhat]

Its good to see you guys hiring all the new help. Business is doing good you all work hard and deserve the success you are having.

[@larryalexander4833]

Big change from what I started watching for. Not being negative just like the more little guys that a fellow can relate to.

[@jimyeats]

@@larryalexander4833 as changes go its pretty small. Couple of family members helping out plus hiring a camera guy and some 😊behind the scene editors. Still just a guy in his garage doing fun stuff with old mopars.

[@TheParkingLotGarage]

That’s quite the drive every week for Ben!

[@justinsmith9847]

The best part is....Hunter is still clearer behind the camera than Paul is in front of the camera lol. You guys a brilliant and ya don't even know it haha. Love you all.,

[@dave6501]

Hi HI Hi I love you guys! i know there have been something going on with the Audio but I hope my fellow viewers will get viewing on to the new material. I'm loving what you're doing. And Paul you should get out a wet noodle to whip Ben with. and Get to it in your good old truck and Whip Hunter Oh Yah! :)

[@paulhimle]

16:25 Quick trick for halving fractions, just double the denominator (number on the bottom). 1/2 of 3/4 = 3/8 then add whatever half of the whole number is.

[@Devil3R]

Welcome aboard Sean. Great stuff will be had.

[@koolerking440]

Im work in post production a tech manager. We use Wasabi cloud storage, and Lucid Link to attach to it. Super simple, and makes sharing files really simple, the media all stays in the cloud, so nothing needs to be downloaded.

[@barrythomas4880]

While you are hiring a new video editor, have them double as your webpage and Facebook editor. Those are legit business expenses. Lots of people have both skill sets, and they can be remote.

[@MegaTank10]

Great enjoyment in the videos. Wife and I are planning a trip to Kanab week of April 19 would like to meet y’all. Knifemaker from Covington tx we enjoy watching real people if that’s possible please let me know through KZbin,Gods blessing be upon you all

[@kevinbegley5881]

Welcome Sean! Hope you enjoy being a Fab Rat as much as we enjoy watching, best of luck! 🇮🇪👍

[@HazzyME]

Welcome to the crew! You will learn a lot. Look at Hunter!

[@Binnser9936]

Welcome Sean nice too see you

[@dirttdude]

Okay, so i have trouble with tape measures, it finely wore me out so i went on Amazon and bought 35 of those M Fs, things were fine for a while but i had to buy a box of black sharpies, a box of silver sharpies and 500 pencils. In the last year i have probably saved 40 hours in lost time searching for something to draw a line with and my level of happiness in life has increased by a factor of 3... i recommend it.

[@davidmiller6010]

Posted 3hrs ago. Already 54k views. Who would've thought you be chunkin' down 18,000 views per hour!? NICE! CONGRATS! Glad you got the audio thingy fixed.

[@kimetherington2252]

Welcome to the Fab Rats Family Shawn! I know your a cousins with Paul and Ben and Merlin, and many more, your definitely a family of builders and fixers so you fit right in! The way Fab Rats is growing they need all the help the family has to offer! It's good to see a family owned business grow and is well liked like your family is! Til next time take care stay safe...

[@BIG-ES-]

Good choice with getting the new camera, it’s nice to see you guys always trying to improve your vids

[@cissnakeman]

heah good cam, but still some focus issues remain ;)

[@TheOldaz1]

Welcome new guy Sean, you'll soon get the hang of it. Be good to see Landers truck back on the road.

welcome to the fabrats family Shawn! i hope we see you for a long time into the future.

[@jeffreyharbert3439]

Here we are a month or so later, and the fella has fit in almost seamlessly! Sean’s a great fit for the channel! Sorry if its Shawn, no disrespect meant!

[@brucegarrett7232]

Hunters confidence level is phenomenal. But old age and tenacity will overcome youth and exuberance.😂😂😂😂😂😂 No adult supervision at it's best.

[@Kickinpony66]

Hey Paul, @16:28... I use the Calculator on my Smart Phone and divide 69.75 by 2 and get 34.875 (34 7/8") 😉😉😉😉 And, you don't really need a smart phone, just a regular old calculator! (It's ok to call me a Smart A**) 😊😊 I think Shawn will be a good fit, once he gets used to the camera. One thing I noticed, Shawn seems to be very soft-spoken; so if he can talk a little louder, it'll be easier for us to hear him. And for Landon... Once you get good at the Crappy Stuff, you can do even Crappier Stuff!!! It only gets more complicated, with the more skills you learn!

[@kerryhickman2235]

Welcome to the team Shawn(Hope I spelled your name correctly, sorry if I didn't)! You did great. Just have fun with it. Don't worry about screwing up because they do all of the time, that's what makes this channel so awesome. They show & own their screw ups. Makes you feel like you're just hanging out with some buddies, plus you get to learn what to do & what not to do! BTW, I think Paul is related to all of Utah!!🤣🤣

[@stephenpoe2037]

Moving up in this Cold Cruel World ! Glad to see you Expanding your Channel and Business . Thanks for sharing !

[@Rusty_ok]

Shawn did good for his first time. I can tell he has a good sense of humor which is going to be needed to fit in with the group. He will get comfortable and just get better.

[@mikeworkman3593]

With cork gaskets, I either use no silicone, or I use nly silicone and no cork. I never use both cause your defeating the purpose of the cork gasket. It's meant to conform small variations of flat metal. But once the silicone drys on one side of the cork, it expands and causes leaks.

[@matthewpeck4016]

Wow, when Hunter was doing some work for 7.5 seconds and his shirt was riding up, for such a skinny young dude he sure is old man shaped. 😂 Yall are a great crew, love the videos.

Fabrats is my favorite. I could watch this every day. I would love to come out to visit but can't physically. I had Gillian barr syndrome and am in pain constantly now and not able to work anymore. I was a police officer for 35 years and now struggling to walk.

[@rickb5946]

welcome aboard Shawn!. And I agree with others, we need more Michelle !!!!!

[@fishmandan]

Easy short cut to marking the center point without doing fractions. 1 Do the overall measurement in this case 69 3/4 inches 2 Round up to nearest inches in this case 70 inches. 3 Divide by 2 for this case equal 35 inches. 4 Mark 35 inches from each end. 5 The point in the middle of your 2 marks is the center. Try it easy peasy.

[@papalilburn]

Another great video! Don't forget the axiom of today, "KZbin is your friend!"

As a Salt Lake'er who loves to camp down at Lone Rock & Warm Springs I've often thought, it would be great to know Paul's # in case I get in a bind. Number now saved in phone. I hope you guys don't get inundated with towing calls. But maybe that will end up being another business opportunity you guys can grow into. If so, (selfishly) please don't quit the build/repair stuff. That's really great content too.

[@denniscleveland669]

“What’s half of 34?”, as we fold the tape measure and check the fold. 😂 Been there and done that. Watching my grandson learn math, I found that they break the numbers down. What’s half of 30, 15. What’s half of 4, 2. Add the second to the first, if you remember what it was. 17.

Folding the tape measure in half...Priceless! Landons truck is going to some nice rig for a young fella.

[@caesar1295]

Paul I’m with you on the square body winning that competition. IFS front end may ride better but it’s no where as stout as the solid axle so put it to Hunter. I ordered a 1984 K30 SRW, 454ci, SM 465 trans, 4:10 gears, dual tanks, rear locker, and other goodies but living in Palatka, FL at the time I had to put 9” of lift and 42” Super Swampers on it to keep it from sinking wish I still had it, Hunter would have had no chance of out wheeling that truck. All I seemed to get done wheeling was pulling out other peoples stuck trucks especially my buddy.
