Hey guys I don’t usually comment. Fab Rats is a family orientated channel but without Michelle in the mix more often it doesn’t quite cut it for me. Michelle is a big part of the operation and needs more exposure. Those that are dislikers of her inclusion should keep their nasty negativity to themselves and appreciate the love the family connection brings us and to the shop. For me that’s what makes the Fab Rat Channel family and the love the family has working on projects together even if they’re just side line supporters.
You have a great crew there. Shawn and your boys are all you need. Love how Shawn stays so calm admits what he knows and doesn't. And your son's have came so far. You should be a proud Dad.
there is absolutely no way slinging camera in an environment like this, with mentors like Paul and Shawn and not something awaken deep down to not get involved@@Dlutheran
I think you are correct Michelle it's going to beautiful and totally awesome Paul will be jealous especially if you let robby Layton put some of his touch on it happy for you
I was just going to suggest an impact driver but should have known you've got at least one. Everyone that works on stuff should have one! I gave one to my son in law for his birthday an he looked at me like "so?" LOL. I said "some day you'll thank me for it!"
PAUL I THINK YOU AND SEAN DID AMAZING AND HUNTER ALSO HELPED,YOU GUYS GOT THIS YOU ARE CAR BUILDERS,I'VE SEEN YOU GUYS BUILD A LOT OFFF RACE MACHINES,AND YOU HAVE THE TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE THIS THIING BEAUTIFUL....
Everyone - Excellent job! Great editing and Michell, you need to be in each and every video. Hunter _ Great work! Shaun _ you are an OUTSTANDING part of the crew!
Holy cow, that was actually my post on Facebook, she picked, she did actually comment that she loved it, that makes me feel amazing, Michelle go for it I knew the color was probably wrong but thanks for commenting on my post!! My Original Post to the Fab Rats Official Fan Page was on Dec 11th 2023 if yall wanna see the pic better
Excellent Project. I did a '69 Commando 15 or so years ago. Viper Red w/ white top/trim. That odd fire v6 will run when built, some other Jeepster guy may want yours. With your frame swap you can avoid sooooo many problems with that 1930's design.
Great job guys it’s a lot of work! We are in the middle of our jeepster project as well. With a rust repair and JKU frame swap (shortened) and 5.3 LS with 4L80…..IT IS A PROJECT!
Almost looks like a complete rebuild from scratch. It is gonna be super awesome! Shawn, it's ok to admit when you don't know how to do something, but don't doubt yourself! Looked like you handled it all quite nicely. Hunter.....gonna make a fabricator out of you yet 😀 You guys both did awesome while Paul and Michelle where out getting the final piece. G'ma Lolly....love your straight forward no BS comments. Excited to follow along on this build and seeing what it turns into. Thank you for sharing
Here is a suggestion. On rusted Phillips heads . Air chisel with Phillips head with handle to turn while using chisel same time will brake a lot lose. I used this system to take my 65 scout apart. Saved me a lot of time.
That's going to be a NICE Jeepster when it's done! I bet Michelle is happy to see some progress being made. I'm looking forward to seeing how you fit the body and frame together! A couple small things I might have done differently... Rather than bolting them in, I would have welded the door braces inside of the door openings, so the doors could be temporarily bolted back on for test fittings. I also think it' a good idea to spray some weld-through primer on areas that will be inaccessible later, like inside surfaces of rocker panels. Metal left bare in there will begin to rust again fairly quickly, especially around the welds. But, hey, I'm just armchair quarterbacking here. 😅
You all have picked quite a project!! I like the picture Michelle showed. Paul your choice of going with the Rubicon chassis is perfect. This will definitely save a lot of time. Good luck!!
I always enjoy fabrication because in my opinion that makes a vehicle your own when you can design and build it the way you want instead of buying one already built I am really enjoying this build series I know the Jeepster will be amazing when you get it finished
I'm strugglin' with a man cold right now too. The struggle is real, Paul! I don't know if you saw my comment in the previous vid, but my friend and I are located in SLC. We build transmissions. Hit me up!!
That looked like allot of fun. Rust and dirt flying everywhere,while old oils burn and add flavor to the smoke... I really like the picture Michelle showed.That's a tough looking Jeepster while having classy touches. The rest of the family can grab sandpaper and dustmasks and rough down the paint on what's left of panels.That would be a mighty big help and kindness.
Paul it’s good to see you guys doing some real rust repair it’s not fun but it’s necessary for all of us who like our old vehicles keep up the good work
Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing the progress on the Jeepster! I would recommend using steel it or primer on the bare metal and seam sealer where the pieces come together for longevity.
I had a JEEPSTER back in the 70s. It would go anywhere I wanted. Then a guy ran a STOP SIGN and it was Totaled ! Can wait to see this done. TAKE CARE and STAY WELL
Whilst i had that apart, i would have pressure washed all the dirt etc. out and applied a weld through primer to slow the corrosion process cuz it ain't going away anytime soon. Have you thought of naming that thing "Tetanus" or Impetigo?. Lots of work, glad you guys ain't a feared of a challenge. 😁
In 1983, I built a 66 Jeep Commando in prep for transferring to Keflavik, Iceland with the Navy. Rebuilt the V6, 3 speed, suspension, brakes ma,ing ready to play in Iceland. Paint, interior, heating and defrost upgrades and away we went. 5 day trip across country, arrived Norfolk, VA. New 33's, one final once over and turned it into Navy shjpping for container shipping, 14day trip to next duty station. I anxiously awaited the anticipated arrival! Three days before delivery day, received msg stating 12 containers fell 9ff the ship south of Halifax, including my Jeep! Long story short, it was gone! Devastated me!!! Navy paid off $5k. Went looking to replace, found a 72 Blazer in Iceland. It was not the same as the Jeepster, but gave us the ability to offer road with the local friends we made. Have been highly anticipating your build of Michell's rig.
I like the concept Jeepster photo but it appears to have a CJ front clip. Even though I love CJs (I've owned 3 of them), the Jeepster needs a Jeepster front clip. It's what sets it apart.
Use self tapping screws to get it all in place instead of trying to tack everything. Then pull the screws as you weld. Helps to get is all aligned (and back apart as needed). Good luck - on the build!
Ok, Michelle and Paul( I apologize if I have spelled your name wrong) Hear me out…..the ladies need a Fab Rat Shirt dedicated to the Jeepster build. Just tweak the Fab Rat logo and add a bow or something to make the hat look more girly. Then add lace to the welding shirt or make it pink or Michelle’s favorite color. Michelle’s Fab Jeepster build would be the best! I mean you need to go all in on this Paul! Michelle deserves her own special build shirt to commemorate. Let’s face it some of us only watch it for the shenanigans that Michelle and Grandma Lolly get to put up with ❤😀Love the show!!
When we open the box and the instructions said some assembly required. Everything was going good all that was left was the work . So here we go , we will have her done in no time. Awesome job thanks for sharing.
Sat in my truck watchin’ Fab Rats… seeing all the cutting and welding has made me think about what I want to do in my van…. Need to convert some shelving into a work bench of sorts.. and a few other things.. inspirational stuff…
As we would say back in the cave man days last century.......What a Great Wife and partner in crime Paul has in Michelle. Best relationship on the tubes.
One of the things I like best about this channel is the positive nature and the reality that people that work on cars and trucks every day are always doing something new, remember that the next time you take your thing to a mechanic that many of the things that they do they are just learning they just know how to learn.
Great to see how your boys get involved with the shop work. Also i truly appreciate that you make not bought attitude for your buids. Keep on keeping on
Let me start off by saying I love you guys. I still don't understand why you're not going to the wrecker games. Hope everything is all good with you and the crew❤
The reason they're not is because they don't want other people running their vehicles and trashing them. I don't blame them. There's an event where you swap with one of the "off-road newbies". I wouldn't want other inexperienced people to run my stuff either. Makes complete sense.
As another commenter has said, "I sense a disturbance in the force". I hope there is no strain on Paul's and Matt's friendship. I agree with Paul's stance of not wanting a newb driving his rig.
Warms my heart to see the body being braced before chopping the floor out. I’ve seen a couple other UA-cam builds where things were chopped before bracing and I can’t imagine how hard it will be to make those things straight. The Jeepster should stay pretty square. Nice work. I little weld through primer would have been a good idea, but it will last a long time!
Ok, I am telling you about the look. I think the picture was saaaaawweeeet!!!!!! The stance and even the colors were great and I am not a fan of gray. Michelle, that one was for you. You chose well young lady. So I want to see you pat yourself on the back, you did well.
I know you get enough "suggestions", but when I rebuilt my '72 Suburban, I used Flex Seal to coat the interior of the floor and the underside of all the floor panels. Worked way better than traditional undercoating. Lots easier to apply, and the adhesion was unbelievable.
awesome work guys!! can't wait to see the jeepster done. some friendly pointers use weld thru primer or etch primer on parts that you can't get to later, That way you can minimize rust in the future, and those crossbeams under the floor if you plugweld them to the floor then it’s gonna be more stable. keep up the good work🤘🤘
So I came in from my little workshop to have something to eat. A good idea was to put this video on the large TV over lunch and then back to work. Whilst back in the shop, I kept looking around because I know I saw a pry bar here somewhere and then it hit me, I remember seeing one in the back of the Jeep Tub! Well, that's no good!
Yes, I love the jeep that they showed you 👍paint yours teal blue. You all did a great job in this video we love watching we love you Michelle no matter what anyone says and grandma lolly love her too 😊 We are watching from Grove city Ohio
Take 2 pieces of plywood. Cut groves in a pattern. Sandwich your floorpan between the 2 pieces of wood. Then put roundstock in the grooves and hit or press the roundstock. It will make really nice supportive bends on the sheetmetal
You guys work with so many people I grew up around it’s crazy. I grew up working on hot rods with my grandpa who live right down the road from Chad. Then I watch this video and you guys bought this frame for the jeepster from my next door neighbor Lehi.
Let me congratulate you and your crew. Having done body -off resto for 49 years you have done the difficult task of piecing back together your 'project of love' for Michelle. Anyone can buy a rust free piece. Nothing wrong with that either as I've driven to southern USA(from Canada) many times for better 'rust free' tin. That satisfied my customers. Let me give you the most important piece of advice (i think). Doing fitment of the doors, tailgate etc before final welding (in case of a gap issue) Even stamped pieces aren't always correct. Keep up the great work!!
Liking the content. Just wanted to pipe in and say the backside of all them panels should get treated with a weld threw primer before going together. When you stack panels together, there's not really a sure way to paint or coat them surfaces. So, doing so before will save the rust from forming once it finds its way into them cavities.
Paul’s needing “a bigger hammer” and asking the question…… “Is that more better? It can’t be more worser for sure!” Spoken like a true free-lance Fab-Rat UA-camr. Love it
I like that you guys are doing body work! I am sure it is hard for you guys to do, and not your cup of tea. But I think it will looks really nice when it is done! The picture of what the end result looks SICK! I can't wait to see it done! I love watching those videos where people completely restore old things. This is basically the same on a larger scale! I love watching you guys, and seeing what your family can accomplish.
I live in Maine and wanted to thank you for the great shows that help us through the cold dark nights of winter. We also love to see Michelle drop in and we think she adds good things to the show. Especially like it when she has to name the parts of a vehicle. Keep up the good work. And may we all be as patient as Shawn appears to be.
5:00 I've used those impact screwdrivers on rotors before, the included bits are always terrible but when they work they work good. What i do instead now, broke the handle off a #3 Phillips and grab the shaft with a pair of vice grips. Give the screws a couple smashes, and they almost always spin right out.
Grandma Lolly there with the words of encouragement “well, you can’t make it worse” 😂 you all are awesome!
"Well, you can't make it worse."
Seriously, we need t-shirts with granma Lolly's best one-liners! 😂😁🤟
I second this.
I Third This!
Fourth
I also agree so that makes least 5 of us who would like to see this happen.. Well least 5 of us willing to comment about it. Lol
Everyone who supports the motion has to buy at least one of each style made. All sales final.......
Hey guys I don’t usually comment. Fab Rats is a family orientated channel but without Michelle in the mix more often it doesn’t quite cut it for me.

You have a great crew there. Shawn and your boys are all you need. Love how Shawn stays so calm admits what he knows and doesn't. And your son's have came so far. You should be a proud Dad.
Oh come on you gotta give Hunter some credit too.
@@jayvandyke I'm amazed that hunter was doing work more than being a camera man.
there is absolutely no way slinging camera in an environment like this, with mentors like Paul and Shawn and not something awaken deep down to not
get involved@@Dlutheran
Cant forget about huntress
Lets not leave Ol Hunter out lol
Admitting you know nothing is far better than pretending you know ...
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Impressed by Shaun's leadership skills! Well done!
I think Michelle deserves a Robby Layton paint job!!! A perfect paint job for a perfect FabRats build!!!❤
Gma Lolly is a gangsta! She just doesnt care!! Lol...hilarious!!
Like my mother would say I'm at that age to where I can do and say anything
I ain't messing with her , she the most gangsta rat outta the pack . I'm on her side .
RIP Carl Weathers !!! The Jeepster is coming along nicely !!!
The picture of the Jeepster that was sent to you is perfect.
That was actually a post I made on a Facebook Fab Rats Fan Page, I was trying to combine a Vision to please Paul and Michelle's Tastes
That Jeepster fan pic looks awesome! Especially with a removable hard top!!
The things men do for their Wife's! Good job Paul. Keep her safe on the road. Good luck and may God bless you and your family. 🎉🙏 😊
Sorry to be that guy... Plural wife's is spelt wives, In English literature anyway. It also bothers me when Paul says acrost for across.🤐
Haters will always hate, we love families and the family dynamics. Mommas and wives are always a beautiful part of these videos...
Grandma: “Paul’s gone…..Party!!!!!”
Lololol
I think you are correct Michelle it's going to beautiful and totally awesome Paul will be jealous especially if you let robby Layton put some of his touch on it happy for you
Michelle I sure enjoy you coming down to the shop. You are a vital part in the Fab Rats Team and i like you being there
Me to
Sean comes across as a real easy guy to get along with.
I was just going to suggest an impact driver but should have known you've got at least one. Everyone that works on stuff should have one! I gave one to my son in law for his birthday an he looked at me like "so?" LOL. I said "some day you'll thank me for it!"
PAUL I THINK YOU AND SEAN DID AMAZING AND HUNTER ALSO HELPED,YOU GUYS GOT THIS YOU ARE CAR BUILDERS,I'VE SEEN YOU GUYS BUILD A LOT OFFF RACE MACHINES,AND YOU HAVE THE TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE THIS THIING BEAUTIFUL....
One of my favorite channels. Thanks for being real.
Awesome work guys. It's going to be amazing when you're done. I hope Michelle gets the mud-bug and takes it out wheelin' when it's done.
It's really great to see these young men becoming a real asset,They have come a long way in a short amount of time.
Everyone - Excellent job! Great editing and Michell, you need to be in each and every video. Hunter _ Great work! Shaun _ you are an OUTSTANDING part of the crew!
Holy cow, that was actually my post on Facebook, she picked, she did actually comment that she loved it, that makes me feel amazing, Michelle go for it I knew the color was probably wrong but thanks for commenting on my post!! My Original Post to the Fab Rats Official Fan Page was on Dec 11th 2023 if yall wanna see the pic better
The colour is just right.
That is nearly how I envisioned it. Great looking build
Need to post the picture here
@caseyriches7899 I tried it won't let me but if your on the Official Fan Page I made the post Dec 11th 2023
Did Hunter pull out his own knife to open those boxes? He’s growing up. Haha
Wow !! He did . Soo proud of him .
3rd punch on his Mancard ;)
And he even flicked it open like a ninja 🥷
I love your dream jeepster, anxious to see the color Michele picks & to hear her howl when she drives it for the first time!
I've been meaninbg to say this for a while but Sean is a really strong addition to the team.
Excellent Project. I did a '69 Commando 15 or so years ago. Viper Red w/ white top/trim.
That odd fire v6 will run when built, some other Jeepster guy may want yours.
With your frame swap you can avoid sooooo many problems with that 1930's design.
Great job guys it’s a lot of work! We are in the middle of our jeepster project as well. With a rust repair and JKU frame swap (shortened) and 5.3 LS with 4L80…..IT IS A PROJECT!
Love those Jeep projects!!

HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!👍
Here is a suggestion. On rusted Phillips heads . Air chisel with Phillips head with handle to turn while using chisel same time will brake a lot lose. I used this system to take my 65 scout apart. Saved me a lot of time.
Or clean the paint off the screw head, and weld a 1/2" nut on each one.
It's not like the screw will get used again.
That's going to be a NICE Jeepster when it's done! I bet Michelle is happy to see some progress being made. I'm looking forward to seeing how you fit the body and frame together!
A couple small things I might have done differently...
Rather than bolting them in, I would have welded the door braces inside of the door openings, so the doors could be temporarily bolted back on for test fittings.

But, hey, I'm just armchair quarterbacking here. 😅
YESSSSS MORE JEEPSTER! LOVE IT!! Thanks Fab Rats! Have a great week!
You all have picked quite a project!!
I like the picture Michelle showed.
Paul your choice of going with the Rubicon chassis is perfect. This will definitely save a lot of time. Good luck!!
I like the way you guys work together have fun and get the job done. Very entertaining to watch. Thanks so much for the content.
I love this channel, because it gives me confidence to take on projects like these in my own garage.
Just finished watching robbie layton and a fab rats vid lands 20secs after watching that, what a sunday it is :D
Happens every Wenesday Friday and sunday
I always enjoy fabrication because in my opinion that makes a vehicle your own when you can design and build it the way you want instead of buying one already built
I am really enjoying this build series I know the Jeepster will be amazing when you get it finished
I'm strugglin' with a man cold right now too. The struggle is real, Paul! I don't know if you saw my comment in the previous vid, but my friend and I are located in SLC. We build transmissions. Hit me up!!
Grandma is the boss.
Going to be an awsome ride
That looked like allot of fun. Rust and dirt flying everywhere,while old oils burn and add flavor to the smoke...
I really like the picture Michelle showed.That's a tough looking Jeepster while having classy touches.
The rest of the family can grab sandpaper and dustmasks and rough down the paint on what's left of panels.That would be a mighty big help and kindness.
Paul it’s good to see you guys doing some real rust repair it’s not fun but it’s necessary for all of us who like our old vehicles keep up the good work
Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing the progress on the Jeepster! I would recommend using steel it or primer on the bare metal and seam sealer where the pieces come together for longevity.
Thank you so very much, you and your team are the best. I'm praying for your family and friends and may the Lord bless and keep you all.
Love when Michelle visits the shop. Love to see her "Helping". What a champ.
Outstanding job Fab-Rats and God Bless America!!
Best youtube channel. Do it for the boss lady
Makes me happy to wear the same shirt as Paul is. I feel like these guys are part of my family also.
You get them grandma tighten up boys or your getting the switch 😆
I had a JEEPSTER back in the 70s. It would go anywhere I wanted. Then a guy ran a STOP SIGN and it was Totaled ! Can wait to see this done. TAKE CARE and STAY WELL
Whilst i had that apart, i would have pressure washed all the dirt etc. out and applied a weld through primer to slow the corrosion process cuz it ain't going away anytime soon. Have you thought of naming that thing "Tetanus" or Impetigo?. Lots of work, glad you guys ain't a feared of a challenge. 😁
In 1983, I built a 66 Jeep Commando in prep for transferring to Keflavik, Iceland with the Navy. Rebuilt the V6, 3 speed, suspension, brakes ma,ing ready to play in Iceland. Paint, interior, heating and defrost upgrades and away we went. 5 day trip across country, arrived Norfolk, VA. New 33's, one final once over and turned it into Navy shjpping for container shipping, 14day trip to next duty station.
I anxiously awaited the anticipated arrival! Three days before delivery day, received msg stating 12 containers fell 9ff the ship south of Halifax, including my Jeep! Long story short, it was gone!
Devastated me!!!
Navy paid off $5k. Went looking to replace, found a 72 Blazer in Iceland. It was not the same as the Jeepster, but gave us the ability to offer road with the local friends we made.
Have been highly anticipating your build of Michell's rig.
I like the concept Jeepster photo but it appears to have a CJ front clip. Even though I love CJs (I've owned 3 of them), the Jeepster needs a Jeepster front clip. It's what sets it apart.
Hell yeah!! That was an awesome picture of a jeepster!
I think Michelle's frame looks awesome its always looked awesome 😂😂. Cant wait to see jeep finished.
Eww
Use self tapping screws to get it all in place instead of trying to tack everything. Then pull the screws as you weld.
Helps to get is all aligned (and back apart as needed).
Good luck - on the build!
Ok, Michelle and Paul( I apologize if I have spelled your name wrong) Hear me out…..the ladies need a Fab Rat Shirt dedicated to the Jeepster build.

Paul & Michelle you both are always I'm my Prayer's. As well as your entire family ❤
Prayers and best wishes to you Paul. Women will never know the true pain and discomfort of a man cold.
When we open the box and the instructions said some assembly required. Everything was going good all that was left was the work . So here we go , we will have her done in no time. Awesome job thanks for sharing.
Love all the videos and all the builds. Keep up all the great work!
Sat in my truck watchin’ Fab Rats… seeing all the cutting and welding has made me think about what I want to do in my van…. Need to convert some shelving into a work bench of sorts.. and a few other things.. inspirational stuff…
"You can't make it worse" .Good Tee shirt logo!

Hey Paul, Landon is helping Shawn and Hunter also, plus he approves Hunters welding skills. 👨🏭👨🏭
Good to see welding skills being learned on the go.
Michael thinks she's getting new paint on the jeepster. Nothing gets new paint other than radel can paint. Love the progress.
Yay, more Michelle stuff
A little tip from your buddy in Oregon. With a bit of heat on the panel with bondo, you soften it and just scrape it off with a putty knife.
Look at Hunter snapping that knife open like a MAN!😁
Great to see how your boys get involved with the shop work. Also i truly appreciate that you make not bought attitude for your buids. Keep on keeping on
Let me start off by saying I love you guys. I still don't understand why you're not going to the wrecker games. Hope everything is all good with you and the crew❤
The reason they're not is because they don't want other people running their vehicles and trashing them. I don't blame them. There's an event where you swap with one of the "off-road newbies". I wouldn't want other inexperienced people to run my stuff either. Makes complete sense.
He don’t want some dumb ass UA-camr driving his rig, definitely don’t blame him for that though
Exactly@@DavidBergman1776
As another commenter has said, "I sense a disturbance in the force". I hope there is no strain on Paul's and Matt's friendship. I agree with Paul's stance of not wanting a newb driving his rig.
It's the same weekend as his cousin Merlin's big birthday bash in Glamis that has been planned for a year or so.
Anyone else wishes ben would show up sometime miss ya ben!!
I love the rock and roll music. You put on when you're fast-forwarding, that's awesome, Paul.!!
Warms my heart to see the body being braced before chopping the floor out. I’ve seen a couple other UA-cam builds where things were chopped before bracing and I can’t imagine how hard it will be to make those things straight. The Jeepster should stay pretty square. Nice work.
I little weld through primer would have been a good idea, but it will last a long time!
The picture for the finished look...
PERFECT
28:30 the look on HIS face as she describes what she wants him to build! PRICELESS
Ok, I am telling you about the look. I think the picture was saaaaawweeeet!!!!!!
The stance and even the colors were great and I am not a fan of gray. Michelle, that one was for you. You chose well young lady. So I want to see you pat yourself on the back, you did well.
Thank you Paul and all of the other FabRats on the update of Michelle's Jeepster !
Yes...Pic of Jeepster is awesome! Nice choice Michelle!!
I know you get enough "suggestions", but when I rebuilt my '72 Suburban, I used Flex Seal to coat the interior of the floor and the underside of all the floor panels. Worked way better than traditional undercoating. Lots easier to apply, and the adhesion was unbelievable.
awesome work guys!! can't wait to see the jeepster done. some friendly pointers use weld thru primer or etch primer on parts that you can't get to later, That way you can
minimize rust in the future, and those crossbeams under the floor if you plugweld them to the floor then it’s gonna be more stable. keep up the good work🤘🤘
This video is exactly what I like about your channel - fabrication. Keep it up.
So I came in from my little workshop to have something to eat. A good idea was to put this video on the large TV over lunch and then back to work.
Whilst back in the shop, I kept looking around because I know I saw a pry bar here somewhere and then it hit me, I remember seeing one in the back of the Jeep Tub!
Well, that's no good!
YES! The picture of the jeepster you showed, yes.
Yes, I love the jeep that they showed you 👍paint yours teal blue. You all did a great job in this video we love watching we love you Michelle no matter what anyone says and grandma lolly love her too 😊
We are watching from Grove city Ohio
Michelle, it's great to too see you in a video, Paul really loves you it shows big time.
Take 2 pieces of plywood. Cut groves in a pattern. Sandwich your floorpan between the 2 pieces of wood.
Then put roundstock in the grooves and hit or press the roundstock.
It will make really nice supportive bends on the sheetmetal
You guys work with so many people I grew up around it’s crazy. I grew up working on hot rods with my grandpa who live right down the road from Chad. Then I watch this video and you guys bought this frame for the jeepster from my next door neighbor Lehi.
It's getting better bit by bit.
Yes Michelle, that picture is what i was thinking.
That is going to be super sweet when it gets done. It's a good fit for Michelle. ❤
Let me congratulate you and your crew. Having done body -off resto for 49 years you have done the difficult task of piecing back together your 'project of love' for Michelle. Anyone can buy a rust free piece. Nothing wrong with that either as I've driven to southern USA(from Canada) many times for better 'rust free' tin. That satisfied my customers. Let me give you the most important piece of advice (i think). Doing fitment of the doors, tailgate etc before final welding (in case of a gap issue) Even stamped pieces aren't always correct. Keep up the great work!!
Whatever you want...Michelle...Paul n crew build it for ya...us viewers support ya 100%...ure da boss
Liking the content. Just wanted to pipe in and say the backside of all them panels should get treated with a weld threw primer before going together. When you stack panels together, there's not really a sure way to paint or coat them surfaces. So, doing so before will save the rust from forming once it finds its way into them cavities.
Paul’s needing “a bigger hammer” and asking the question…… “Is that more better? It can’t be more worser for sure!” Spoken like a true free-lance Fab-Rat UA-camr. Love it
I like that you guys are doing body work! I am sure it is hard for you guys to do, and not your cup of tea. But I think it will looks really nice when it is done! The picture of what the end result looks SICK! I can't wait to see it done! I love watching those videos where people completely restore old things. This is basically the same on a larger scale! I love watching you guys, and seeing what your family can accomplish.
Hunter for the win with the arc drone. NICE
I've been a weldor/fabricator for over 50 years, you guys take on some challenging projects ! Keep up the Good Work ! As E.C. would say.
I live in Maine and wanted to thank you for the great shows that help us through the cold dark nights of winter. We also love to see Michelle drop in and we think she adds good things to the show. Especially like it when she has to name the parts of a vehicle. Keep up the good work. And may we all be as patient as Shawn appears to be.

I've used those impact screwdrivers on rotors before, the included bits are always terrible but when they work they work good.
What i do instead now, broke the handle off a #3 Phillips and grab the shaft with a pair of vice grips. Give the screws a couple smashes, and they almost always spin right out.
Michelle,I felt "The Look" into my eyes, when you mentioned eye protection. Thank you!
