This needs to be framed: "Anything is possible, you just got to be willing to do it" - Paul Cox
And “just cause something runs, doesn’t mean it’s good” lol
@@Kiki-Kauai another classic! Lol
"Anything is possible, you just gotta be willing to do it." Now that, is a life lesson!!
Hell yah
That look when Paul says maybe the head gasket is not bad..... He looks at camera and starts laughing his ass off. Perfection!!!!!
I just love grandma. You all better cherish every moment you have with her. I sure miss my mom.
This episode was gold. "The harder you work, the better you are at something." Jace, thank you for that. It's one of the most important lessons, that most seen to miss.
Followed by "Everything I thought was going to be easy in life, turns out, it doesn't work".
If he embraces those two ideas he will be miles ahead of his peers as he reaches adulthood, not to mention the majority of the so-called "adults" currently bumbling their way through life.
The smarter you work, the better you are at something. We have hard workers at our work, but f me I do it a 3rd the time as I work smarter.
Hard working and Smart working go hand in hand!👍
I am glad to see these two working together. Jace does not make many appearances. Good job Graders.
Jace doesn't realize how lucky he is to have you teaching him how to work on cars. Hopefully soon he'll come to see what a valuable gift you're giving him.
Hands on are the best days with dad. My Dad 80, and i stop in to have him help me on my trucks to make him feel good again. I know what I'm doing, but I act like I don't. It's the feeling of him being there, and one day, he will not. Don't let life pass you by.
Great times with the kids. Moments they will never forget. Also teaching hard life lessons that will follow them forever. Great father.
And if you do it right, after a small break you get grandchildren! That's when the REAL fun starts. It's great to see them open their mouth and hear YOUR words come out...
It's as funny as the Tool Time show ever was.
What's more important than working with your kids? Nothing, no project, no video, no event...nothing is more important.
Best times i had with my dad was under the hood!!
Money to support said children
@@lifebehindtheselens but when you can do both at the same time? priceless
Yeah, great blah blah blah ……………my kids are perfect angels…………ohh , and by the way they would never do anything like that….. suck one on my behalf would you please.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Paul are you from this planet, the knowledge you have with the cars is unbelievable !
That is some top-tier parenting right there. Joking, guiding, relating, leading, allowing.......all in the right amounts AND eating at the same time. That is next-level. Well done!
Man he said it! "Everything I thought was going to be easy in life, it turns out it just doesn't work! " he's a quick learner! 😂
That is kind of like “there is no free lunch”. There is no shortcut to success.
Paul, you’re a good dad it’s fun to watch your interaction with the boys
"You still have a Geo when you're done" At least it wasn't a Neon!!
That’s the typical father son relationship, I was kinda the same way with my old man teaching me
The best thing about those Geodes is that when you crack them open, they're all glittery inside.
That tractor scene reminded me of Paul and Ben at Wrecker Games. Like father, like son!
Nice to see the boys involved. Jayce never gets much video time (aside from lurking in the background) 🤣
I love the friendly father/son banter between Paul & Jase. Keep it up. There you go with that can't again. 😂
I always love to hear the comments from grandma. I do believe she is not a novice in the motor department.
This was probably one of my favorite episodes. Lots of great moments and life lessons, from Graders behind the wheel, to Grandma Lolly taking shots at Jace. Great stuff.
My son joined the Marines when he turned 18, super proud of what he has become. However, I would give anything to spend a day in the workshop with him. So good to see you working with your kids Paul. Keep the awesomeness coming.
@detroitdiy Thanks to your son for serving our nation (and each of us) in the Marines and to you for raising a great young man and having the courage as a dad to watch him go off and do hard things under difficult circumstances (and that's peacetime service in the USMC). Much respect to you both!
Thank you!
Great father/son moments❣️Remember having that “can’t” conversation plenty of times.
JACE is his mother's child! 😂 That was a good one! Dang your kids have no idea how lucky they are to have you 2 as their parents!!!
Nothing better than seeing a part of yourself in someone else. Makes you feel more human (less like an oddball/outlier), connected and thankful for the confirmation! ❤
These are the great times that you remember forever. My Son worked with me in our truck yard when he was 9 years old. We taught him how to rebuild cat motors and Cummins. He now is one of the best custom semi Truck builders in Oregon. I am one proud Dad. You should be too.
Great to see the Father/Son dynamic...so many young men are suffering from not having a Father in the home, and even when they do, the Father's out there are ambivalent towards their duties as a Father. These boys will grow up and out with a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong. Good on you, Paul! God bless you!
Teachable moments, not only mechanical.
Such a great dad, there's a good book talks about apprentices and making them, you're definitely doing that with your kids and their friends but I want you to know that many of the dads watching this channel are also learning about parenting. Thank you!!!
I hope those boys realize someday what a blessing it is to them to have their dad put so much time and energy into their lives. Not all dads do that.
What a Blessing to see dad proving to his boys that they don't know everything ,Yet ... patient teacher for sure
I wasn’t ready for the camera to turn and see the littlest brother in the drivers seat, that caught me off guard 😂😂
That kid is awesome. And so smart! How many little kids actually know the correct word is recklessly??? Heck, most adults don’t. lol🌺
I loved the dad teaching. Jace enjoy these days and remember them for when you need to teach.
Awesome watching the boys do their thing. It shows you’re parenting correctly. Let them do for themselves as far as they can and then nudge them a little further.
Teenager, Corvette and radar detector, Perfect combo!!!
Don't give up, Jace! A couple lessons learned and you're already back on track.
One of the most practical ways to learn the value of work. The family legacy will continue. Good job Grayden helping get the Geos moved around. Great vid.
It's wonderful to see your boy learn from the masters. Awesome, quality father/son bonding time. Totally priceless.. 🙏
Good to see Jace in the shop.
Nice old Vette. Great seeing young people working on cars and learning stuff. Paul, you are fantastic father and mentor to your children.
13:03 I’m on the cusp of senior citizenship, and my wonderful father STILL bestows father-son learning moments on me. ❤
These are the videos I enjoy the most...kids being kids, dad teaching, and providing memories they'll never forget.
"Everything in life I thought would be easy turns out to be hard" he's starting to learn 😅 these are the days that build character, with a dad like Paul, Hell be fine.
Nice to see the boys in the shop from time to time learning a thing or two. Gramma Lolly teasing Jace about name that part was worth a chuckle. Paul keep up the edjumacating your boys so they know their noughts (a zero in the military) and gazintos reference the old Beverly Hillbillys.
I never knew naughts was from the military! Interesting!
@@BobbieJeanM It is spelled Nought as in when they would transmit over the radio 12:00 it would be accompanied by one two nought nought and not as zero zero. The Canadian Military and railways use this as I am former railway myself.
@@michelbrodeur6055 you know, I knew that but didn’t think of checking my spelling till after clicking the arrow. And then got distracted by the dog wanting to go out and noticing giant ants 🐜 on the inside of the back door. And then spraying them with all purpose cleaner to kill them since the ant spray was in the basement and cleaning up the mess with paper towels from the kitchen…. I completely forgot to go back and check. That is not a made up story, that is how my life goes waaay too much of the time. Oh, and it’s even better because 2 days ago I saw ants on the kitchen counter so I put a liquid ant bait where they were walking. That evening, it looked full so I put another one beside the first one. There are very few ants on the counter now but I’m not taking the bait away until they’re all gone. Wish I could do the same near the back door but I’m afraid the dog would get into it. 😵💫 And I remember the Beverly Hillbillys proving I’m old too! 😆
@@BobbieJeanM I guess we forget that distractions lead to an oops now and then
I love the "A Knights Tale" reference! I use that weighed and measured line all the time. Doing great work fellas!
Awesome to see the kids get involved with these videos. Thanks for including them in too. We taught our kids how to drive by the time they were old enough to ride bicycles! Also taught them how to to work on stuff too! Good Times!
Excellent Video! You really change it up so we never know what's coming. I am certain the 3 boys and Gracie will go far in life with the parental good old fashioned work ethic and values that are instilled in them.....even though they might think its unfair and rough at times!. LOL. Thank you Fab Rats team for being on your A-game.
I adore these father son moments,they are beautiful
I agree 100% with Paul. As a lineman I tell all of my apprentices the only can’t on this crew is the can’t hook. Only a few people will have a clue what I’m talking about. It’s a lineman thing.
GREAT VIDEO of father and son time. I did love the line "You are your mother's son" discussing the "distributor thing"!
I LOVE the hard lessons and father son time. Keep this coming
I loved this father son video! I miss those times with my own son
I've been binging on this channel for a week now and I'm 10 min. in and enjoying this vid more than the others because of the random chaos that Jace has brought into the shop. Mite be because I've been in Paul's shoes, being a little annoyed, but the kids are finding out what it's really like to be in their dad's shoes when dealing with vehicles.
“Can’t. I hate that word”
Well said Mr. Cox. THAT is a teaching moment. 👍🏼
"You are your mother's son" had me rolling. LOL
Those old Vettes are still pretty cool, not practical, but fun. Love to see how different the boys turned out, they are all fun in their own ways.
It's good to see the boys working in the shop! Great Father and Son times!
I think Paul should do a video walking Jace thru rebuilding the geo engine. Would be a great teaching moment & valuable lessons learned.
Paul is so patient with these teenagers and kids, I see he remembers what it’s like to be a kid that’s good he’s passing on the knowledge
It's quite entertaining watching Jace attempt auto repair. Paul is a great teacher and awesome Dad but Jace is obviously his Mother's son. :)
Paul, I really enjoy watching you spending time with your boys. Don't blink. One of mine moved to Portland and the other is in heaven. I miss those times.
Just wanted to say thanks for taking time for the fans and doing the meet and greet in moab. Sure enjoyed stopping and meeting everyone. And getting to see the rigs in person was awesome.
Some brothers don't get along the best. Seems like these kids are good ones 👍. It's great to see
I dont guess you saw the video in which a window was broken after 2 brothers were chucking rocks at each other. but hey, they are good kids. brothers will squabble from time to time.
Something different, I love it, great job, boys. Thank goodness you have the guidance of your Dad and your uncle's,treasure it!!!
Nice too see the boys in the shop. Nothing can replace that kinda learning/ picking on each other
I love watching Paul work with his boys on their cars. It takes me back to the 90’s when I was teaching my son to wrench. I kinda had a selfish motive. Now that I’m an old fart, I have my son work on my car!
Love to see your kids working on their stuff.
Paul it is great to see you teaching your boys a thing or two about taking care of their own vehicles.
My Dad would always tell us kids "can't never did a thing." Wise words for sure. Your kids are great. It's cool they want to learn even though they think they already know everything.
Graden is getting taller. Growing up so fast. This video is just perfect. I was wondering when Jace was going to start working
on his car. This just makes my heart so happy to see these young men working like their dad and Uncle Ben. Wonderful memories being made here. ❤️🙏🙏👍👍🌟🌟❤️
Great learning time with the kids. Get them prepared for doing things for themselves and teaching lessons about how to do it.
Good morning!
Grayden at 4:33 with the "cold start in a can" is the most American Kid thing I've seen in years. Nice job!
It's great that you give your boys such excellent learning opportunities both with twisting wrenches and making good decisions in life! Paul, you and Michelle are raising some really fine kids while providing some prime family friendly entertainment! Keep up the good work!
I love the family moments! Great attitude and great teaching, great job dad.
I can’t imagine how much Michelle is cracking up while editing . You guys are a hoot. At least he has a promising basketball career ahead of him.
I've never seen your boys ever thank you for your help with their vehicles in your shop? I could be wrong but I don't know. I'd be thanking you on and off the camera you're a hell of a father for what you do for those boys. Stay safe and God bless
Thanks for making. Always a good family show. I'm always being a good man and a good father.
Paul it’s fun to see your boys getting along so well. A lot of brothers, including my brother and I fought like cats and dogs. By the time we were in our twenties we were tighter than two coats of paint. We decided we always were tight and the reason we fought is because it’s always easiest to lash out at the people closest to you. I think that’s part of human nature.
Sounds like a sewing machine out of control 😂 watching you work with your boys reminds me ,I was so surprised at how much my dad had learned by the time I turned 24 🤣🤣🤣
Ain't that the truth! What's the old saying, " Hire them when they're 18 and they still know everything " 😅
This is how the Cox brothers, Ben and Paul started out decades ago; deja vu !!!
OUTSTANDING. !! I love it !
Paul, is this what your dad, Sherm had to go through with you and your brothers ?
It's fun watching the next generation learn.
Great job, Dad! Only my dad would let me have the Corvette I wanted. Said I had to wait until I could pay for it. I'm 71 now, still no 'vette. Moving around the world and raising a family made that impossible. But...judging from the conversation it sounds like he may have bought his own. Lucky kid.
Such a great Family unit!
Nothing better then seeing young men that are being taught well. At least the basics of mechanical working but Life. GreaT job Mom and dad!
GOOD IDEA: When you're pouring fluids from the spout of a plastic container, like motor oil jugs, turn it so the opening is on the higher side of the end; this prevents the glug glug, which often results in spillage, it makes the container easier to handle and more accurate aim (In most cases).
Love your videos!
Great video guys.....nice to see you teaching the younger generation some of your tricks.....thanks for sharing this with us
One day Jace will realize he’s learning more working with his dad than he will anywhere else !!!
Good learning lessons for Jace. I’m with you Paul. It makes my blood pressure rise to hear the phrase “I can’t” until you’ve used both your brain and muscles to their full extent and then tried again and again.
Good to see Jace in the shop learning about the various cars he drives.
I love where this channel seems to be going!
Good morning world hope everyone is well 🍻🇺🇸🤙🏻
Thanks and Back at ya! Have a great day!
Working with your kids is one of the best times a parent can have. I loved it!! Mine are grown now and are a long ways off so I'll probably not have those times again. But I'm thankful for all the great memories!!!
Nice to see you helping these youngins learn some skills! I believe it was Henry Ford that said: "if you think that you can or can't you are right"! Also Yoda said: "There is no try only DO or DO Not"!
A Vette is a faster way to get grandkids…
Love your channel guy's
I hope the kids know how blessed they are to have a dad that makes time to help and teach , yet another reason I love this channel . Keep it up .
19:50 " I seen you hot rodding down the road the other night"
Classic!
Big smile the whole video. The best times I had as a kid was working with my Dad or Grandpa. As a Dad and Grandpa now, its projects with son and grandsons. Best place for teen boys is the family shop. Happy Easter!
This is why I love the fab rats channel.
IDC what anyone says... Grandma FLEXED a little... "Do we need a parts with Jace?" And totally owned it!!! Boom !!!
I remember those days... Grandma was always right, even grandpa agreed. He was a smart man!
And the knowledge is being passed on down the line. It's obvious what a great dad GpaSherm was.
We need an episode of Geo head gasket swap!!!!!!! 😁👍.
Come on, already did the interior cleaning up and other parts swap, don't quit now !!
Then maybe a bit of Dukes of Hazard action, Geo style. Come-on, I think this will be fun
