As an around the house welder, I really appreciate it when you explain things like the diamond cut out and such. I learn a great deal by watching (and rewatching) and listening to you. It absolutely amazes me what you can do in your shop. You make the complex look simple.
I also find myself rewatching many clips
You are so right that he makes the complex look simple.

" It 's hot. Oww It's really hot " It's almost like Matt is there.
I was just going to ask if Paul has graduated from "Matt's School of Welding Assistants & Hot Part Handling." These two guys are more fun to watch than nearly anybody on CZcams. What an opportunity; practical education paired with all that free entertainment!! ;^)
It isn't bad if you aren't touching it, though! Hahaha.
Our old saying to “is it hot”?…. Nope just didn’t take long to look at it.
"Everything's done but the work" isn't that just how life works. 🤔
I used to watch Monster Car Garage when it was on. You make those guys look like wimps. I am in awe of your craftsmanship and get it done work ethic. Thanks for the video.
That was an Epic show and deserved a lot more than it got, i really miss those days.
This is the best channel on lubetube for fab work keep up the hard work.
I agree. Check out “grind hard plumbing” those guys have some awesome fab work as well.
Thank you!!!
Sadly this channel has taught me more than collage did
It is nice that you don’t edit out spots where you are struggling. I wouldn’t have known about the diamonds in the frame either. Those are the details that make the difference.
Round shape is better than "diamond". Fatigue cracks usually starts from any 90 deg corner.
Papa Dar is really in for some fun off-roading with this modified Jeep. I really enjoy the process of you figuring this out as you go. Keep up the great videos.
You sir are a genius with fab work. I was wondering how you were gonna do the frame. I like how you explain everything
Man does this vid motivate me to go cut my neighbor's jeep in half.
😂
Wonder how much gets edited out? 🤔😆😆😆
Nice job on that frame reinforcement. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build. Be really kool to see Papa's jeep and Matt's new rig out on the trail together.👍👍
These videos along with Matt's are perfect to watch and forget about all the BS going on. Keep doing what you're doing how you're doing it. Oh, and XL welding rat shirts please!
Awesome work Paul. Every time someone yells "Oww--that's hot!" I think "Did Matt show up?"
I enjoy watching this and matt's towing if I lived over in the States you would be the type of people I would be friends with.
Paul seems to get a lot done when Matt's not around...lol
Because he isn’t redoing what Matt does 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely love the channel!! I love seeing the ideas in your head become reality. Every project is always exciting to watch. Crazy to see you tear down things and have parts flying everywhere and make it so easy to just put a transmission or something back together.
Thanks for watching!
He makes it up as he goes and it just works.
Gotta admit I'm looking forward to seeing the finished build and seeing the Jeep on the trail. Always a good time watching you and the gang at your shop.
The man knows his metal! And he's not afraid to do it.
Once again great work with welder, so good to see your fabrication skills.
“Did I cut a gas line?” Famous last words...
Don’t worry he wasn’t using the plasma cutter
Had a flame coming off the oxy/ acetylene gauges hmm run or close ? Stayed and shut them down . Couldn't stand the wait
I love the positive can do attitude, finding a solution to every problem thrown at you and enjoying it. Always a great watch !
This is just Paul living up to the channels Name THE FABULOUS FAB RATS
Electrical issues, I recently cut the nose of a 93 ZJ and from the axle back off of a boat trailer. ZJ meet boat trailer. ZJ trailer, meet XJ, your new camping buddy. XJ pulling a ZJ gets tons of looks. And the ZJ is the perfect amount of room for sleeping, removed all the seats, dash, and steering wheel, put a sink in the front left corner where the dash was and 2 propane ' burners about where the drivers seat was. Perfect little camper for me and my lady.
I want this done to my TJ so bad...enjoying seeing what all goes into it...."Everything is done, but the work"
@@jontrudell7529 More stable going up ledges and down stuff...better rig all round
Buy a LJ
Great video Paul.your shop is the envy of anyone that works on cars, trucks, etc. you make everything look easy. Always look forward to yours and Matt’s videos. Still catching up on older videos that. I haven’t seen yet. 🤙😎
Paul, This is Freaking Awesome! Its so simple to understand, makes me think I can do it...Now if I can learn to weld like you!
What is the gain in cutting it in half.....leg room for pappa dar to take more comfortable naps lol
How about longer wheelbase....
@@RetiredPilot longer wheel base for better naps. He’s always taking naps lol
@@stannelson2582 Yea he will be able to park it over a bigger rock when he gets tired.
Hey Paul, for future reference when you need to remove sound deadening from a chassis. Use dry ice. You just crush it up and spread it over the sound muffling and use a folded up packing blanket to insulate it and direct the heat up and out of the work piece. Then you just chisel it up, EXACTLY LIKE peanut brittle
You sure made that look easy! I am so impressed with all your skills. Nice to have a team support you.
Love it! Great work in there. It's nice to watch these projects especially when you know what you're doing! Papa Dar's jeep is going to be a cool yj.
Where there's a will there's a weld.
Will here. 😉
May be doing the the same to my Suzuki samurai.
My dad cut nearly a foot off the step-side of a Dodge Ram and put it on a Power Wagon frame. It was awesome looking after he painted it white. Short & Stocky & BADA$$. Paul, you remind me of him in the fact that you could build anything you set your mind to. Papa Dar's Jeep is gonna be a bada$$ too. By the way,...Papa Dar is suppose to be taking it easy. Looks like he might be over-doing it since he didn't take a nap this time. I'm shaking my forefinger at you Papa Dar!! ;-)
12 inch wood blade works really well for the deep thicker metal. It sounds crazy but really works
"Sounds crazy" is a very Honest evaluation. (You take a blade with itty bitty Teeth, and install it so it turns backward {If "memory Serves."} Does make a HECK of a racket, tho.)
i use to have the same problem with metal sawall blades they (burn out) in a short time like a drill bit ,so when i try cutting oil on the blade much to my surprise it worked great blade cuts better and lasted alot longer ; they're not cheap to buy ! great video keep safe
You guys have way to much fun. Great job.
Whats this a milwaukee comercial!!! Good video again
I love this channel!!! I makes me want to try it myself but I dont have the knowledge Paul has. Or all the tools, or ambition, or time, or hoist, or friends with any off this knowledge. I wish I lived half way between you guys and Matt.
Break, weld, & repeat! Great video's !!
Thanks guys!
"Did I cut a gas line?" Let me finish with this cutting wheel. 😆
didnt Matt patent that cliche', ouch that's hot?? LOL... @Paul, it's amazing how much work gets done, when Matt's not around to "assist" you... j/k...lol... great video Paul, cant wait to see more of Papa Dar's project come together... thank you... :)
Awesome job as always.... and at this rate Dar will be all healed up by the time you finish... 🤘🤩😁
Looking good brother 👍
Can't wait to see it out on the trails....
That diamond reference was bang on..."I knew we would become one right away"...
I have been welding since I was in high school.i did custom exaust work for about 10 yrs.I've been around Jeeps my whole life, growing up and farmington new Mexico. And still learned something from this video.mahalo
What a crazy fun team of friends always makes the job easier 😂.
Thanks for sharing 👀
Paul another great video keep em coming Paul
Really enjoy your videos! Thanks for good content.
Always enjoyable to watch Paul work and he didn't lose his marker this time! Please keep the videos coming...
you guys are great make it look so easy
Another great vid, WHEW! I was hoping we would get to see the process of cutting the wrangler in half. I noticed in the background, that the job had already been done in the the tank repair video. The motivation to start my CJ7 rebuild came from watching your vids. It would be easier to do with a shop like yours with all the tools. I hope to bring the CJ down to your area of State when I get it finished. Maybe get stuck, (intentionally) in a very precarious situation, then call on the dynamic duo YOTA AND BANANA for a rescue. Ha Ha That would be an expensive T shirt.
I would buy an EYECROMETER or your other FABRAT ISMS' T shirt in a heart beat.
this is great wish i was there. thanks for letting us watch....
Thanks Bro as welder im learn some lesson
This JEEP is woderful rebuild of a expert mind and hands than
I will see this will rock on roads and duns tanks
Cobus
From South Africa
Enjoy the build series. Keepem up.
Amazing! Watching your creations go from a not sure if you know what your doing attitude to winning at stuff most would never attempt!
Hey, a lot of us don't understand what you are talking about cause we aren't all mechanics... I would love to learn how though so I can do more work on my own on my Jeep. Can you please go into more detail on the automotive parts of these videos?
That said, this is the coolest video ever! Love seeing the actual splitting of car!
Ask his wife she knows the names of all the parts
Great job you're doing on the jeep!!!
Great edit job Michelle...
Thank you!😉
"Did I cut a gas line?" (continues to grind) lol
Another great video. I just can't believe the the stuff you do to that Jeep! I can hardly wait to see it running free in the dessert.
Paul, What a Great job you're doing on the jeep, I was really wondering how you where going to weld the frame back together and stagger the joint welds like that was awesome...Another great video !! Thanks for the great video editing Michelle.. ..!!
I'm doing the same mods to my 1991 YJ. Can't get anything done because I'm addicted to the videos.
You are an artist and a craftsman.
Did I cut the gas line? 🤷🏼♂️ Let’s throw some sparks!!!! 😂😂
Reminds me of when we did the opposite to a VW Rabbit 25 years ago. We took 22" out of the middle and welded it back together. Basically moved the rear seat up to the shifter so then done we drove it from the back seat. Great fun.
Thank you for this one! 🙏
I have an ‘88 YJ I’m wanting to build up. Thinkn of stretching and you’re convincing me 👍.
Papa Dar: I sure like the wheelbase on those new LJ's but they're so expensive!
Paul: *Hold my Mountian Dew*
Love the wagon wheels you have for the floor above you!
He did a walkthrough video in the shop describing his equipment a few weeks back. Pretty sure he mentions those wagon wheels, where and why he got them.
You’ve got to wonder about the miserable SOBs that 👎🏻 Paul and Matt’s videos... What a miserable existence they must live...
Makes me wonder why they watch them just to dislike them 🤔
Don’t pay any attention to that stuff. They just do it to aggravate you.
I swear the people that do that are just jealous they aren't creative enough to think about doing these kinds of projects...........that or they aren't skilled enough to do them & are jealous that someone else is!
Probably never done a day's work in there lives.
Got a question regarding the frame...joining the frame the way you did, is that just as strong as Z- cutting the frame and welding it that way? Just wondering as I’m not a fabricator or welder. Great job on the Jeep, between your build Matt’s Corvair it’s made for great content! 👍👍👍
If you take super light cuts with a sharp tool you can slim down washers on a faceplate on the lathe. Super glue it on there and go to town. Small cuts to avoid a lot of heat. OR just make a new washer from scratch on the lathe.
Awesome work Love the content keep up the good job !
Fascinating process, thx for posting.
Papa Dar's jeep is going to be bad ass!! Really fine fabrication Paul!!
Awesome fabrication job again 😊call, never did the diamond trick that’s good to know ! You taught an old dog a new trick today, always good to get some new information that’s useful! I always just plated it ,put a grinder to it and then plated it 🙂
Flip the saw zall blade over for a closer cut with less obstruction. Love the video’s
Great job. You sure make it look easy, but the many hours of actual work can’t hardly be displayed with a few snippets of video footage. Can’t wait to see the next segment.
Great Job!! I learned some new welding tips...YEA!!
can't wait to see that jeep finished and buggin' deep !!
Enjoyed the video. Southern Utah looks like a great place. Looking at your videos Matt’s and Casey’s.
Having no teeth on the sawzall is a common occurrence whenever I’m trying to cut something nice and clean
Cool stuff! We did this on the farm trucks too. We shortened an ol Volvo car and put left and right brakes on it! That car was way to fun to drive!
Man that’s gonna look sweet! Well I have more of a mystery problem now I fixed my suspension replaced a bunch of parts but now in 4 wheel drive I have this clunking so I don’t know if it’s the driveshaft or the diff or transfer case or what but I can make it there in 2 wheel drive during some decent weather and my daughter and I are still looking forward to the possibility. Keep up the good videos can’t wait to see this beat done!
This is an AWESOME project! Pappa Dar going to be cruising around in the baddest jeep on the planet after the surgery to it has been finished!
Well I have seen everything now. What a job. I'm glad it's family as the bill would be very high. I can't wait to see the next upload on this project.
Darwin's a brute. He always has something busted and he still wants to help.
Where`s Matt, when you need something hot carried across the work shop !
Looking good, now to find the next episode.
Very cool. Makes me want to do some welding again. But I can't since I got a pacemaker 12 months ago.
Wow. Pumped to see how this goes. Just subscribed to keep updated.
Got me inspired to do something
Can't wait to see the body work and finished product. Long dreamt of doing something similar with my old YJ before I got rid of it.
Looks like a solid front end with those beefy links. Great work on the frame.
Man so much work I envy you because you can do all that oh the front end was a nightmare
To thin down that washer with the tools you have. 1st end face a piece of 3/4 CRS round. 2nd super glue the washer to the newly faced end. 3rd face the washer to thickness. 4th heat up the super glue to about 150° F it turn to powder.
Been there, done that, for Banana Republic. I got in on the last of the Original Design stores.
Can’t wait for the next video. Great job Paul! 🤙🏼👍🏼🤙🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If you can't afford an LJ, build one!
You do some great work bud.take it there's not a lot of jeep scrambles around there. But hay Great videos my guy.
its Dang close .. love that
