Will you be getting youth sizes in the future?
Yes!👍🏻
100% agreed!
Do the shirts run true to size and do they shrink after washing? Thanks!
Got my 5X Fab Rats Tshirts today .. AWESOME! Now I can alternate. wear Fab Rats one day, then Matt's Off Road the next ... OH WAIT ... NO I CAN'T! Cause Matt doesn't have any 5X shirts! What a cheezzey operation! LOL
How can you not jump in to help a 14 year old tune on some old Michigan iron. Too many kids are just missing experience and respect for American classics.
Amen to that one!!
That young man will always remember that Paul fixed his truck!!!
Very true and you know that kid was happy as a get out!
U know!!!...better than the lotto.....
He so needs that on a T-shirt. The girls will be queuing up to go to the prom in that truck with him.
Uncle Paul
Yeah that’s a cool memory 👍
I come for the fabrication, I stay for the personalities. Y’all make it worth watching, always enjoy a Fab Rats video.
That was an awesome thing you did for that young man Paul. Not only fixed his truck but taught him some wisdom along the way. Well done. Merry Christmas!
Well Said!
"You ready to do donuts in it?"
"I might get it taken away"
Lmao. That's a good kid for sure.
Translation: You bet, but not admitting it on camera!
@@om617yota8 Poor kid got caught by his mom ..... " Why does the grass and garden have tire marks all the way back to the barn? " ??? Oh no you didn't................." Sorry mom , but it was running so well."
@@pkuudsk9927 He might get off a little easier if he uses "raining so much"? js
@@om617yota8 Pretty much
What a great experience for this young man. And it's just nuts that this is Paul's side hobby and he is a wealth of knowledge from head to toe, all while bringing a self-deprecating sense of humor to it all. Good for you, Paul. Keep up the great work.
Paul you taught that young man a lot . NICE JOB .
Gosh, but that was an enjoyable video. Loved the donut at the end and seeing the young man's face!
You've got a nice set of Goodyear Double Bald Eagles on that thing!!
That young man will never forget the day you helped him, and that is awesome...and you are right, working on that rig is the best thing he can do to learn; he'll know all about it by the time he gets his license. Nothing like an old truck for a first ride. My sons both started that way.
Love when people help kids with their new rigs. I had a few people help me when I got had my first rig.
i find most people are pretty great with someone trying to learn. i do the same when i got info to share although thats rare cause i'm an idiot.
I had ZERO help with my first few cars, my dad, an alcoholic at the time said you bought it you fix it, I knew nothing about cars but I learned, then started meeting friends with some knowledge and it grew from there!!!
I have a '90 F-250 lariat that was my dad's before he passed. I drove it from Utah to Oklahoma when I picked it up almost 10 years ago. Anytime that truck gives me trouble I'm pretty sure it's my old man giving me a hard time haha
When you start wrenching on it...your old man is at your side enjoying the time with his son.
I can't work on a car without thinking of my dad.
I just want to say that Fab Rats has become my absolute favorite CZcams channel. You're so talented and likable--and so is your entire family. Keep up the great work!!!! I'm always happy when I see a new video posted.
Thanks for those kind words!! So glad you love our channel! Merry Christmas!
You are such a positive influence on adults and children alike! So happy your channel is doing well as you deserve the recognition.
That’s really awesome of you to not only help him , but make a video . You’re one of the good ones man !! Sweet looking old truck too !
It is a good looking truck.
You’re a good man to help this young man out. 👍🏻 Great leader. I remember that a guy in my neighborhood came over and helped me with my first car, a camaro. I still remember the things he told me when we were turning wrenches on it.
Great work taking time to explain to the young man what you do, why you do. A true gift from God to be able to share knowledge. This young mans day was epic to see the transformation. From the little we see i guarantee he will take care of it. Great manners the young lad has.
Paul, you are one hell of a guy, really someone to look up to, Merry Christmas brother
Merry Christmas to you too!!
I love how Paul is being a teacher as well as working on his truck!
It's nice seeing you helping out others. I wish I had someone in my group of friends like you. I still have to figure stuff out on my own.
Look at Mr. Top of the world over here with friends!! :(
Paul has such a vast knowledge of vehicle’s he must have really paid attention and worked on a lot of different problems when he was growing up, great video guys.
I love how your encouraging the kids with old trucks and engines. That kid has an amazing truck with so many possibilities.
What a blessing for you and the kid that you’re able to help him out, very cool thanks for sharing.
A timing light, haven't seen one of them used for a while. Old skool mechanics 👍
That made me smile. I have a couple of them in the bottom of my tool chest. They'll still work fine... just not very often.
The best part is Paul sharing his knowledge. This young man will remember this for a long time I would imagine. BTW I do remember asking for more of Michelle's karaoke.
I knw you guys have heard this a lot. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge with the next generation of kids
That's so cool of you to travel back in time to help a teenage Sean Penn with his truck.
Paul, Your the best! You are getting your wings one feather at a time. You were so good with that kid, the high-school will be wanting you as a new shop teacher. That young man was in 7th heaven... You can bet he will give you a honk when he see you on the street. Thanks for all you do, and thanks for showing all of us when you do it...
Wicked good improvement Fab Rats ! Loved the tail swinging burn out.. A very lucky young chap.
Mike here Great kid! Need more like him in this country. He will remember that day for the rest of his life! Thanks Paul!
Loved this. I traded a bull calf for my first truck, a 78 Chev 3/4 ton with a built stroker (I was after the motor and for the entire truck), I was 13 years old. This young man has his head on right.
Love this.
This video brought back some memories, I'm 64 now. Bought my first vehicle when I was 15, didn't even have my drivers permit yet. I cut grass in the summer and saved my money and bought a 1961 chevy pickup. Had the 6 cyl motor. $175.00 and dad drove it home for me. Took my driving test in brother in laws 59 rambler station wagon, try parallel parking something like that, lol.....I know this young man must be very proud. Its always a good feeling helping those wanting to learn.
watch your channel all the time... look forward too it... my first truck was a 1958 ford step side, two wheel drive and a 292 V8... loved it... while watching this video I remember the smile on my face after about a year of working on her and she started because of the help of a family friend... R.I.P... Mr. Carl. hover... P.S... also just ordered my first fab rat tee... thanks...
fastly becoming one of my favorite channels. If this videos were hours long i'd be glued to the screen.
Thanks for watching!!
Used to love working on cars when it was snowy out, you never got overheated. So nice to see the real community there too.
Reminds me of my dad and me in 86 with my 62C10 first truck ! Cherish those days young man, time moves fast !
Knowledge is the key, Passing it on is much more. It lives forever..
Fantastic video.
OUTSTANDING BROTHER...👍 i think this is the first time i HAVE actually learned something new about mechanics from a vidio ..👍👍👍👍😁🛠🔧 and that is a HUGE COMPLEMENT 👍🔧🛠👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Glad we could help!! Thanks for watching!!
Dad is so Cool you help other kids that needs the help with their Engines, awesome
Whoever “disliked” this video needs to have their truck taken away!!!
They probably drive a Prius and eat granola for every meal
Yeah I'd like to think they just bumped it by accident I can't hate awesome shows like this
@@billyhellboy6138 I've definitely bumped dislike and only realized it later by chance before
@@billyhellboy6138 I'm not saying that could not happen, but almost every video from all my faves get a few dislikes. Maybe there are people that get resentful of a job well done and their dislike is like a strong like.
Any of Paul's or Matt's!!!!!!!
Thanks for another video folks. For some of us, it's extremely gratifying to see that there's still young men and their fathers out there doing things that we consider "normal". Merry Christmas to you all down there across the medicine line.
Excellent. Maybe Fab Rats should start a junior college course on how to repair anything that has wheels.
Very educational
Well edited.
Long time since I’ve seen timing light used. Old stuff 👍🏻
Good stuff lol
I'm totally envious of what this kids got. I'll be the 3rd generation owner of a 64' C10 but unfortunately my dad has left it parked for longer than I've been alive and it needs a ton of work. I think at this point a frame swap would be the easiest way to get it going again and I hope to do so with a Cummins Ram 4x4 but I think my dad had rather use a modern GM and make it an LS powered street and strip cruiser. Whenever I can find a donor truck I can afford, I'll try and make it all come together.
I'm willing to bet the kids you are helping will never forget this day.
I wish I had someone like you nearby when I was learning tricks of the trade. Thanks for helping the little dude out. My hat is off to you Paul. I just hope he learned something about his truck.
lol the look on that boys face when Pauls hot rodding the truck. Like moms gonna have a word for him when they get back!! lol. Love it! Opening up a cookie shop and kid thought the blue lights were gonna come on!
I caught my truck on fire, years ago, tuning the Edelbrock carburetor, and forgot to reattach the fuel line before I started it.
It's a good idea to disconnect the negative battery cable before doing any work. It gives you a second chance to do a thorough inspection before the engine is started.
That's how it's done. Kindle the flame in a new generation.
Yep. Kudos to the kid's dad for being there with Paul to get this young man's truck going.
Does the heart warm to see a young guy getting into an older truck to enjoy & work with, Americana.
Fab Rats is quickly becoming one of my favourite You Tube channels. Paul makes everything so darned interesting.
Great to see a 14 year old passionate about his old truck...very cool video! Thanks Paul.
One of the biggest things I love about these videos is the little bits of knowledge I pick up from nearly every one. There’s always something brilliant or educational coming out of Paul’s mouth. Thanks y’all! I wish I lived closer I’d bring my old YJ up to y’all and learn a thing or two
Love seeing these young men getting into the old trucks.Awesome job helping this young man .Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas to you too!🎄
Nice, that young man has a real truck. Not a lifted luxury piece of expensive garbage.
Outstanding! As always the FabRats crew has the knowledge to help others! Nice young fellow with a cool old truck. Might suggest he rephrase why he doesn't get wild yet; " I need a bit more seat time first"! Seems like a solid young man with caring parents!
A truck with an anti theft transmission. That's cool.
Reminds me of my grandpas 67 wagoneer. V8 3 on the tree. He has owned it since new simce 67 but recently gave it to us, needs cam bearings, well fix her up!
Has 300k miles on the cam bearings. Its been rebuilt before but my grandpa only fixes what worn.
I was a mechanic for a long first career, the kind that people bring stuff to after other mechanics couldn't figure it out. Shoot, mechanics would bring me their stuff. Then I went to school after 30 and became a software engineer. I say all that just to say that I'd let Paul work on my stuff. I don't think I've ever had that thought about anyone before. More than just having a wide breadth of knowledge, which comes from experience, he shows a stronger understanding which only comes from hard study and intelligence.
Thanks for those kind words!! And thanks a bunch for watching!
That trick with the bondo was a new one for me. I've never even heard of anyone upgrading a 4-barrel with bondo!!
Paul is what America needs. A great mechanic that teaches while he fixes.
Paul; my dad had a class 6 (C-60) 1962 Chevy chassis wrecker back in the day. The logo on the fender matches this young man's truck as far as the style on it and the cab with the "kneeknocker" dash.
Why I like FabRats and Matt’s off road recovery.
In High school in the 50s my friend “Leadfoot” worked at a welding and ornamental iron shop. I hung out there a lot and have many fond memories. The owner was a talented fabricator. He fixed cars and motorcycles and built a lot of interesting stuff including a C Gas 50 Chevy. The shop car was a ‘54 Ford wagon with a Cadillac engine and a Packard 3 speed “on the column”. The linkage was backward so 1st gear was where 3rd should be and reverse was where 2nd should be etc. We won a few drag races in that thing while pulling a trailer loaded with a bunch of welding gear. Good times. Your videos remind me so much of those times.
What an awesome thing to be teaching young boys that will grow in to great men.
Dad had a '59 and a '61. The '61 was the same color as that '62. Both were flatbeds.
The '59 as the first vehicle I drove, other than a tractor, around 1975. It had clutch, brake, gas and a starter button all on the floor. Starting on a hill was a challenge, four pedals, two feet. 😊
You could see the glow in Paul's face reminding him of when he was young driving one. Way cool!
"Not blow ourselves up with fire" is possibly the most Uncle Sherm thing I've ever heard.
Good video‼️ Brings back old memories👍✅
Good job, Paul! I used to work with the boys group at the church I used to attend. Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you see 'the light come on' as a young man catches on to what you're teaching him. Good job, Paul, good job!
You are the Master Rebuilder, You can just look at a piece of salvage and turn it into a work of art....Please don't retire !!!!!
caring for youth is a blessing to us all
thank you
This has to be the first kid I seen or heard of that actually listening to his parents about racing around. Good young man right there. Paul is a good mechanic and fabricator. I thought I watched all his videos but I was wrong lol
WOW! That’s a great running Chevy SB , she’s purring like a kitten now , thanks to you
one week rebuilding a transmission, next week modifying a carb, your knowledge has no end and how you explain why you are doing it will help many shade tree mechanics. In an era of computers old iron rocks. I flew aircraft with big radial engines and we had on board analyzers We would come home from a flight and tell the mechanic ( now called Technicians ) what cylinder of 18 was not working right. Now someone plugs a box into a vehicle and hopes it tells them what is wrong. My new Murano has a rattle at low power but the box doesn't show anything so they tell me nothing is wrong. LOL
That was pretty Kool Paul, watching you work on the carb, changing jets, fuel rods etc. just some flashbacks to when I was wrenchin back in the days. 🤙😎
you guys are so lucky to have the dry climate that keeps them from rotting away and that is one cool old truck , lucky young man and Paul shows him how it does a 180 on the highway LOL, great video
That year 1962 Chevy truck is same year when I was born. I’m surprised to see the old truck. I’m glad it’s still running! 😊
That’s the first time I’ve seen somebody use a timing light on CZcams, it’s usually a laptop! Love those old trucks!!
Good on you mate, you made the young man smile. Your knowledge is coming out in every video, it’s good to see.
Great truck to start with. A kid learns a lot working on an old truck.
That was so nice of you to tune up that truck. Also, that is a 62 Chevrolet 3/4 ton 4x4. That is a RARE truck. I haven't seen production numbers on this year, but a couple years after this, there were less than 100 3/4 ton 4x4's built by Chevrolet. This truck deserves a restoration, especially since it is fairly rust free.
I love those old trucks, I love the square body Fords and Chevys also. Someday I'll have another truck, soon I hope.
You made that kids day, your a good guy, thanks!!
Sweet, a youngster into old American classic trucks. And yes a holley sniper EFI would really make that old truck run like a champ.
Paul , you did a fabulous job teaching that young man. Kudos to you! I'm not a gear head yet I could follow your approach to solving the problem. Great video too!
Dude. For real. Please more! I love when you explain what you're doing and why, it helps us idiots
Paul is so smart 👏
This young man will be a repeat customer to Paul's FabRat Shop for sure. Talk about an experience - - - - Hey saw ya on CZcams Bub!
Good fix and video.
I love it that the old iron survives without the road salt, rain, and humidity. And I have great respect for a man that tunes by looking at plugs and using a timing light.
Truth
Believe it or not, this was one of the best videos you've done!! Love seeing real life in action. Especially when its dealing with old trucks!
It puts a smile on my heart to see younger men enjoying older cars and trucks. Keep' em alive
Nice old Chevy , got her all fixed up . Good job Paul 👍🏼
I learned to drive in that truck when I was 14.. 50 years ago. Drove like a lumber wagon. The no power steering was fun. And the V 6 would pull out a stump but got about 4 MPG...LOL
My old man drove that truck till it literally broke in half one night coming home form cutting wheat. A little over 3 million miles later I've never had a truck without power steering for more than a couple days. LOL
Paul we need a Q&A about you
He needs put power brake booster on truck he will remember what you did for great job Paul
That's a cool truck. I love looking under the hood and seeing the engine, the radiator and not much else!
Merry Christmas guys and good job on helping young man .🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Encouraging the next generation how nice to see
Beats the he'll out of a play station 5
I have found myself watching these videos one after the other, quite enjoyable this Christmas time.
Glad you love them! Thanks for watching!!
@@FabRats you are welcome.
Wow! did that ever bring back some memories of my teen years. Great vid! Keep em coming.
What a good kid! Minding his pa like that!
I like seeing those young boys standing there looking over the fenders observing and learning while you work. Some day you will be the one standing there leaning on your cane while they do the work
