      Looking forward to your video on the reveal. All the people that put in time and sweat to complete the rebuild in such s short period of time was amazing.
      You should all be proud of the expertise, effort, and love that was devoted to this adventure.
      Ed's disbelief that his "old" Golden Nugget looks like it just came out of a dealer's showroom is a testament to the love you all have for him. May you all be blessed with the deep thanks for allowing all of us to share in this endeavor with you.

    I think it is so appropriate that the Fab Rat Bone Yard is on a trail, through a fence, through some trees, across a creek--no bridge, just wet rubber--and vehicles placed sporadically around the old pasture. Americana at it's finest! Jace noticing the difference in the weight load was somewhat impressive. Teenagers aren't usually paying that close attention. Good job. Great fun all of you working on the wrecker. "Ben, eat this."

      Is the boom really lighter than the bed, or is it just where the weight is displaced?I'm beginning to wonder why they didn't just remove the bed from the wrecker and swap the C10 cab onto it

    Some unsolicited advice for all of Pauls' kids: Enjoy every minute of the time you spend on these adventures. Your dad in-a-sense sacrificed himself, his job security, to come home and spend time with you. I grew up at dad's shop but looking back didn't appreciate all I had. Again...enjoy every single minute and don't be in a rush to "go do something else". He won't be around forever. Being able to do things yourself instead of hiring someone is such a great feeling. You are getting the BEST education possible, for free!

    I almost cried as you guys started to destroy that iconic Holmes 1200 Commander wrecker. The 1200 was one of the first (the other was a Century unit) hydraulic light duty wreckers to hit the market in the late '70s. It along with its smaller brother, the single winch 1100 Commander were instant successes. Whoever built that GMC/Holmes combination knew what they were doing mounting the wrecker on the medium duty chassis made better use of the capacity of the 1200. Most were mounted on 1 ton trucks which could be over stressed under hard use. I wish I'd found that unit, I would have restored it. It was at one time someone's pride and joy. Chrome push bumpers are not standard issue.

He was never scared to tackle anything. I’ve seen him show engineers how to build or fix things that they were lost on. Paul reminds me of him. Great guys. Love all your videos.

      When I was a teenager, my buddy across the street, Lenny Rivas, was given an old Chevy pickup to fix up for his 1st vehicle to drive. So I helped get it fixed up and running. The bottom was COVERED in grease, oil and dirt. In some areas a few inches thick. To replace the engine and trans with wrecking yard parts, we had to scrape off lots of that gunk to get to bolts. Lenny wanted to use our dad's creepers. We were working on dirt and gravel in their back yard. So the wheels on regular creepers wouldn't work. Lenny's dad brought us some big cardboard boxes to lay on to work under the truck. Being Mexican, he called the boxes "Mexican creepers". I'm retired now, and still use Mexican creepers. Every time I do, I think of Mr. Rivas and the things I learned from him.

    I made this suggestion to Rory a few months ago. Build bolt off over fenders for the rear that can double as sleds for under broken axles etc. Instead of trying to use old car hoods or something else
