The look on Hadley's face when Paul popped that throttle! Little things like that are worth much more than money! It's great to find kids that appreciate the help given to them.
Great barn find! Nice decent kid owner ... a credit to his folks! In OZ a classic like that is worth 20k plus and more with low mileage and 'original' ! . Great sound, great job Fab Rats!
Paul and Michelle, I have to say that you seem to have gotten the parenting thing down better than most. Knowing when to not ask questions is a pretty important skill. Two thumbs up too for taking the time to take care of your kids friends too.
Between you guys and Merlin working with these teens to teach them how to care for real cars, I have hope that maybe the next generation is not completely doomed. Hadley has one sweet car.
Watching Paul go from proud of Landon to "oops, I taught him that technique" was hilarious. Also not asking how Jace damaged the truck because it was probably something similar to something Paul did at his age was great.
I have seen it through out all of your videos, But once again I am very happy to see your mentorship not only to your kids but to the kids who surround you! Good for you Sir!
Glad you like the vise! Hopefully it will get some use. I did my best to restore it. I did install new thrust bearings to remove some of the backlash it had from over a hundred years of use.
That kid Hadly is a cool cat.... hes shoulda been born in the 60s... That More Door Ford was supper Cool....WOW.... this is the best episode ive watched in a minute.... what a cherry barn find.... that was some ol ladys car i just know it!!!
Helping your kid’s friend out like that is just a top notch good dad move. I’m sure you were tired after working all day on your own stuff, so taking the time to fix his car was a kind gesture. He was so happy with the sound of that exhaust. I remember those days, he’ll be driving that car around with the windows down and no radio just so he can hear it lol
If your going through power steering pumps you really need to start using a power steering return in-line filter and in your situation a metal cased one. They aren't frightfully expensive and will prevent a lot of power steering system failures. The little screens inside the pumps really aren't sufficient. Best!
@@nathanbopp6163 Only if you could get the old style without the friction modifiers such as Dexron 1. Power steering fluid though should have the right formulation to protect the seals. The dusty environment to me is more of the issue which increases the need for filtration on the return line along with of course having a good seal and hygiene on the cap. Best!
Paul don't need no chalk board!it's all fit and finish.paul is great with his hands,and knee vision.nice too help the kids out.god bless guys and be safe in the shop.bro.skinner.
Yet another awesome video that puts a smile on my face. It’s wonderful to know there are still good people in the world. Paul, you set a great example to your own kids and their friends, as well as the rest of us. Thank you.
We need more Hadley... that boy has a passion burning in him, and he's just young and dumb enough (meant in the nicest possible way) to be entertaining, cause he's a natural infront of the camera😘👍
Dude! You’re the cool dad! The one that fixes everyone’s car for free. I guarantee those kids will tell their kids about you. My best friend had a cool older brother who did that. He wouldn’t volunteer parts for us, but he’d wrench and help. That was over 34 years ago. Thanks Derrick Avilez!
You should draw a vacuum on the power steering reservoir any time you replace something in the system. It'll pull every bit of air out before you ever start the engine. No noise, no pump damage from running without oil til it bleeds the air.
Reading all the comments it is obvious this is a great moment where your work with Hadley does so much positive work for these future solid citizens. You provide a great role model for your son and these young gentlemen. We all need this for a strong future .
My wife's Suburban is on its 3rd PS pump, still whines no matter what. Don't forget Mud Flaps on the Toyota. Love how you include kids in your projects, they are learning so much.
When I was in high school (‘73 grad), I had a 1970 green Torino with a 351 Cleveland, Hurst 4 speed and Holley 4 barrel. It looked like my grandmother’s car and would blow the doors off of most cars around at the time. Oh how I wish I still had that car!
The distinct classic 302 sound. Was around several of those, ran the Cleveland 351 personally. Way to help folks out Paul. Highly commendable, as usual.
Reminds me of when a friend and his dad helped me replace my muffler with a glasspack on my v8 62 ford fairlane. Hands down best sounding car I had ever heard up until that point. Im almost 40 and I still have that car. Dude was so pumped he is hooked for life.
Hadley seemed very appreciative, seemed like a good kid like yours. I used to help my son’s friend like that too. They are in their 30s now. But that’s how they learn.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
3:32 - "A bunch of cool stuff that we can definitely use" - I am tempted to send Paul a box that causes him to say "a bunch of crap that no one could ever use"
A 71" Torino with a General Lee Horn LOL I LOVE it !! @PAUL you are a good dude helping the kids with their cars is a good thing. reminds me of my friends dad (Walter) growing up. Got to teach these kids right.
1:55 Do you know how many people have said "I'll just run this Toyota it till it dies" only to have the Toyota outlast them? The things have a reputation for refusing to die.
My mother had 73 grand torino sport I almost wrecked when I was learning to drive on the dirt road we lived on great video and keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe
Paul I’m glad you’re planning to braze up the hole in your drain pan. As soon as you poked a hole in it I was saying you can braze that up easy! Done before in my shop.
Hadley is a lucky young man to have Paul give him a dual exhaust! That 50 Chevy will be cool to get up and running! It's an old beauty. Til next time, see you then. 😊
Awesome how you encourage your own kids and other young guys in your local group. If you really want something then you CAN get it by asking the right place for help. Hadley looked stoked with that exhaust system. You never forget a good teacher or mechanic.
I'm sure I'll get plenty of heat for saying this, but I'd love to see you so something nearly unheard of. Put a ford engine in one of your projects. Regardless of what you do, I'll definitely keep watching. Your an inspiration to me to keep pushing forward with all my own assorted projects. Keep up the great work and God bless y'all.
Thank you for being an awesome role model for kids and for providing such great content. I look forward to your videos every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. They are a positive thing in my life - thank you!
Hadley, take care of that car. My mom had a brand new '70 wagon. That and my dad's '63 Falcon wagon are my favorite cars my family ever had. It's so incredibly rust free😛. I always wanted a 70-71 Ranchero, wagon, or coupe. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That Torino is sounding much better now! When I was a kid if we had cool wheels and tires, a loud stereo and mean pipes we had a sweet ride. We thought we were real chick magnets!
Back in 1976, I bought a 1971 Torino, pulled the 302 and the C4 transmission and the rear differential and installed it in a 1969 Datsun Pickup, with side pipe exhaust. It was great fun, until I built a 11:1 1967 327 with a four-speed manual transmission. That was even more fun, out racing with V8 Vegas, and Novas.
That used to piss me off soooooo bad when the Sawzall blade would catch what I'm cutting, and just vibrate the crap out of it. I got to thinking one day about that foot... Next time it happened, I pushed the foot up against what I was cutting, and it was like magic. It quit going apesh1t in my hands, and actually cut haha! Try it next time, it works surprisingly well 😁
I like seeing the younger generations getting into the old cars and trucks. Keeps the hope that they'll keep bringing back the classics and the antiques for at least a while longer.
Try a vacuum adapter for the pump reservoir. Pull vacuum to pull microscopic bubbles out of the fluid. Do normal system cycling with vacuum applied. You can buy a kit quite reasonably with various sizes and instructions, or cut the dipstick off of an extra cap and braze a fitting on top.
oh man, blast from the past, i had a 1981 square body chevy C10 pickup with glasspacks, true duals, and a set of long tube headers, she was mild at idle, but open the taps on the 4 barrel carb and she'd rattle your head with the rear sliding windw open, oh man, core memory unlocked there brother, i hope he enjoys the car, she sounds pretty sweet with the "turbo style" (through and through) mufflers, i'll bet she sounded even better in person, stay safe out there guys👍👍
From Canada with love. You kids are so lucky to be able to find these cars, that thing is mint rust free. Just the fact that the exhaust is even still there at all and you can weld to it is something we don't get to enjoy here. Mild steel exhaust last 3-4 years here tops, we just clamp, welding is pointless they last longer than the pipe. The Red head better get a NBA contract to pay you back for all the toy's he has. Paul is the cool Dad so many kids wish they had, nice of you to help the next gen learn. Enjoy it now Paul they grow up quick and then they are gone on with life. I miss all the kids hanging around dirt bikeing , go carting, learning how to drive on the street. The Days of " I got busted doing wheelies in the school parking lot" Dad I got a ticket for speeding do I have to ride the bus to school for a week again? "
It's really nice to see some good down to young people enjoying old cars, it speaks volumes to me about their character. Love this channel! Keep it up! Btw I still miss Ben being there 😊
Once upon a time in Stuart, OK., a group of friends were racing the back roads. I drove my great grandma's 56 Mercury, a buddy was in his dad's 56 Ford and there were several others. Then a young lady pulled up in a 50ish Olds. Looked like the Chevy you picked up. She cleaned our plates. Have wanted one of those Oldsmobiles ever since. Thanks for the video. Brought back memories of the good days.
my father in law (old school shade tree mechanic) uses a cap full of STP in noisy power steering pumps. So far has worked every time ive seen him do it.
With the Yota in the air (reservoir cap off and maintain proper fluid level) and the engine off, slowly turn the steering wheel lock to lock and all the air will come out of the system. If it’s stubborn, put the reservoir under vacuum and repeat process.
Paul, that sawzall will work much better if you rest the black front piece on the material. Let the blade do the work instead of holding it at half blade.Tends to not jump and bend the blade or hit your face like you almost did. Hope you see my comment. Best wishes.
The look on Hadley's face when Paul popped that throttle! Little things like that are worth much more than money! It's great to find kids that appreciate the help given to them.
I love what you do with the kids fixing their cars and putting an exhaust on it and make them part of your life. You’re a good man.
Hadley was STOKED at the sound of that cool old car. Good on ya for fixing him up and making a kid super happy with his ride.
Did you fix the fuel leak on the barn find?
Great barn find! Nice decent kid owner ... a credit to his folks!
In OZ a classic like that is worth 20k plus and more with low mileage and 'original' ! . Great sound, great job Fab Rats!
@@SteveKelllett and the battery hold down.
Paul I just want to say you're one heck of a good dad and a good man!! that kid was so happy. That's one of those memories that kid will never forget.
Paul and Michelle, I have to say that you seem to have gotten the parenting thing down better than most. Knowing when to not ask questions is a pretty important skill. Two thumbs up too for taking the time to take care of your kids friends too.

Paul you will be remembered as a cool old guy one day by many people, who constantly think back of their teenage years!
Watching Paul go from proud of Landon to "oops, I taught him that technique" was hilarious. Also not asking how Jace damaged the truck because it was probably something similar to something Paul did at his age was great.
I have seen it through out all of your videos, But once again I am very happy to see your mentorship not only to your kids but to the kids who surround you! Good for you Sir!
The future of Utah looks really good with these young men.Thanks Paul for keeping them in the asset column.
It’s awesome that you are a mentor to theses young men. The world needs more men like you Paul…
What a wholesome environment to grow up in. Those kids are lucky to have Paul for a dad, and Michelle for a mom.
His face was priceless when he heard it run. Awesome job for the kid. Kindness is such a great thing to share.
Glad you like the vise! Hopefully it will get some use. I did my best to restore it. I did install new thrust bearings to remove some of the backlash it had from over a hundred years of use.
So nice
Thank you so much!
Well Phil when something useful goes to fabrats you know it’s going to get well used for generations!
Nice gift Phil !
The look on Hadleys face when she sounded off was probably worth the total job to Paul.... Amazing person that Paul is!!! Good on you Ol' Son!!!
To resolve power steering whine, draw a vacuum on the reservoir.
This will pull out the trapped air.
I wonder if this is the issue with the Kubota BX tractor HST whine?
Excellent suggestion I have used that method before and it worked perfectly.
Also check o-rings on fittings. I know on Hondas they go bad and cause the whine you are hearing is because it draws in air past leaking o-rings
Just leave the whine...makes it sound like a Ford.
Man that ole 302 sounded great ! That’s fantastic paul!
You’re a great dad ! Helping out your kids friends 👍🏻
His face when Paul revved it was priceless. “Evil” and happiness all in one. Those kids are so lucky to have you around.

Looks like you may have finally found yourself a reliable transmission guy lol. Chad to the rescue again!
That "Ah shucks" @ 25:11 is classic.... that must become an add in clip for future videos!
🎉🎉 nice... you made his month....😊... thanks for the video 📸📸📸 guys.... JJ...😊
Great job you made a young enthusiast happy with that exhaust. And that kind of ford ain’t that bad, I approve.
That's what a classic should sound like!!! Awesome job
Love the expression on Harley’s face when he heard it!

Think ATF would spare the seals?

How many here flash backed to their first vehicle with dual exhaust when they saw Hadley’s face and expression?? Priceless! Well done Fabrats!!

Between Paul, Matt, Chad and Derek Bieri, there's some great Dads out there. As for that exhaust note...gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle BRAAAAAAAP!!!!!!
When I was a kid my dad had a 1950 Chevy as the family car, I’m 75 now and I can remember it like yesterday.
Yet another awesome video that puts a smile on my face. It’s wonderful to know there are still good people in the world. Paul, you set a great example to your own kids and their friends, as well as the rest of us. Thank you.
Miles and Miles of Young Shaver smiles................. Good on you Paul and Crew!
We need more Hadley... that boy has a passion burning in him, and he's just young and dumb enough (meant in the nicest possible way) to be entertaining, cause he's a natural infront of the camera😘👍
Fixing up Hadley’s Ford was just a blast to watch. Utah still has kids that want to drive and drive cool stuff. Very happy to see!
I’m sure a lot of men on here would agree.
Paul your in a place many of us dreamed of. God bless you my friend.
I like these random videos. Plus I got my tool bag. It's all snuggled up in the Jeep ready for action.
Dude! You’re the cool dad! The one that fixes everyone’s car for free. I guarantee those kids will tell their kids about you. My best friend had a cool older brother who did that. He wouldn’t volunteer parts for us, but he’d wrench and help. That was over 34 years ago. Thanks Derrick Avilez!

In 74' when I was 18, I bought a 70' Fairlane 2dr ht. same body style. Had a 302 in it. Was a great car wish I still had it.
That car ls a real beauty…..back when cars had style…..can’t wait to see what you do with it!👍👍

oh man, that boy's smile when he heard it. totally worth it.
The kid's face was awesome..... that paid off the time and work....

One of my favorite past times when I was younger was going over to my buddies to have his dad work on my junky hot rods. Brings back memories.

I never had that type of relationship with my father(he had poor health and died way too young) keep helping those around you left where you stand!
The whole video was worth it just for the smile on Hadley's face at the end! Priceless!
Once upon a time in Stuart, OK., a group of friends were racing the back roads. I drove my great grandma's 56 Mercury, a buddy was in his dad's 56 Ford and there were several others. Then a young lady pulled up in a 50ish Olds. Looked like the Chevy you picked up. She cleaned our plates. Have wanted one of those Oldsmobiles ever since. Thanks for the video. Brought back memories of the good days.
A 302 in a Torino. That's a combo you don't see every day. Nice car. You're a good man for helping the kid.
my father in law (old school shade tree mechanic) uses a cap full of STP in noisy power steering pumps. So far has worked every time ive seen him do it.
Looks like there may be one thing better than having a dad that is a mechanic - its being a good friend of a guy who's dad is a kind mechanic!
The smirk on Paul’s face when they got the Jim Carrey movie wrong………priceless.
With the Yota in the air (reservoir cap off and maintain proper fluid level) and the engine off, slowly turn the steering wheel lock to lock and all the air will come out of the system. If it’s stubborn, put the reservoir under vacuum and repeat process.
Fab Rats smiles are the best!
I find it humorous that Electric Vehicle ads are being run on your channel!
Paul, that sawzall will work much better if you rest the black front piece on the material. Let the blade do the work instead of holding it at half blade.Tends to not jump and bend the blade or hit your face like you almost did. Hope you see my comment. Best wishes.
Cool car, when I was a kid the neighbor had two of these, he had used them for taxi's.
Gave the Toyota some love and absolutely made that young man's day. Sounded pretty darn good with the new exhaust.
Great stuff all around. So cool to be able to help out the young man there with that 'tuned' exhaust. Paul is quite the master at multiple trades.
