Hey guys I don’t usually comment. Fab Rats is a family orientated channel but without Michelle in the mix more often it doesn’t quite cut it for me. Michelle is a big part of the operation and needs more exposure. Those that are dislikers of her inclusion should keep their nasty negativity to themselves and appreciate the love the family connection brings us and to the shop. For me that’s what makes the Fab Rat Channel family and the love the family has working on projects together even if they’re just side line supporters.

Did Hunter pull out his own knife to open those boxes? He’s growing up. Haha

You get them grandma tighten up boys or your getting the switch 😆

PAUL I THINK YOU AND SEAN DID AMAZING AND HUNTER ALSO HELPED,YOU GUYS GOT THIS YOU ARE CAR BUILDERS,I'VE SEEN YOU GUYS BUILD A LOT OFFF RACE MACHINES,AND YOU HAVE THE TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE THIS THIING BEAUTIFUL....

It's really great to see these young men becoming a real asset,They have come a long way in a short amount of time.

I love your dream jeepster, anxious to see the color Michele picks & to hear her howl when she drives it for the first time!

HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!👍

I've been meaninbg to say this for a while but Sean is a really strong addition to the team.

Everyone - Excellent job! Great editing and Michell, you need to be in each and every video. Hunter _ Great work! Shaun _ you are an OUTSTANDING part of the crew!

Best youtube channel. Do it for the boss lady

I'm strugglin' with a man cold right now too. The struggle is real, Paul! I don't know if you saw my comment in the previous vid, but my friend and I are located in SLC. We build transmissions. Hit me up!!

Awesome work guys. It's going to be amazing when you're done. I hope Michelle gets the mud-bug and takes it out wheelin' when it's done.

Makes me happy to wear the same shirt as Paul is. I feel like these guys are part of my family also.

Great job guys it’s a lot of work! We are in the middle of our jeepster project as well. With a rust repair and JKU frame swap (shortened) and 5.3 LS with 4L80…..IT IS A PROJECT!

As we would say back in the cave man days last century.......What a Great Wife and partner in crime Paul has in Michelle. Best relationship on the tubes.

Here is a suggestion. On rusted Phillips heads . Air chisel with Phillips head with handle to turn while using chisel same time will brake a lot lose. I used this system to take my 65 scout apart. Saved me a lot of time.

Or clean the paint off the screw head, and weld a 1/2" nut on each one. It's not like the screw will get used again.

Paul’s needing “a bigger hammer” and asking the question…… “Is that more better? It can’t be more worser for sure!” Spoken like a true free-lance Fab-Rat KZreadr. Love it

Michelle helping reminds me of two statements that I have heard in the past... Her, helping "I would have been done sooner but I had help" and her response would be " just let me know if you need any help... I'll see if I can find somebody"

Almost looks like a complete rebuild from scratch. It is gonna be super awesome! Shawn, it's ok to admit when you don't know how to do something, but don't doubt yourself! Looked like you handled it all quite nicely. Hunter.....gonna make a fabricator out of you yet 😀 You guys both did awesome while Paul and Michelle where out getting the final piece. G'ma Lolly....love your straight forward no BS comments. Excited to follow along on this build and seeing what it turns into. Thank you for sharing

I love this channel, because it gives me confidence to take on projects like these in my own garage.

Grandma is the boss. Going to be an awsome ride

Prayers and best wishes to you Paul. Women will never know the true pain and discomfort of a man cold.

Excellent Project. I did a '69 Commando 15 or so years ago. Viper Red w/ white top/trim. That odd fire v6 will run when built, some other Jeepster guy may want yours. With your frame swap you can avoid sooooo many problems with that 1930's design.

Take 2 pieces of plywood. Cut groves in a pattern. Sandwich your floorpan between the 2 pieces of wood. Then put roundstock in the grooves and hit or press the roundstock. It will make really nice supportive bends on the sheetmetal

Michelle’s “Jeepster” is going to “RoCk” I tip my hat to Paul, Shawn and Hunter 👍🏻💛

YESSSSS MORE JEEPSTER! LOVE IT!! Thanks Fab Rats! Have a great week!

Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing the progress on the Jeepster! I would recommend using steel it or primer on the bare metal and seam sealer where the pieces come together for longevity.

Michael thinks she's getting new paint on the jeepster. Nothing gets new paint other than radel can paint. Love the progress.

You all have picked quite a project!! I like the picture Michelle showed. Paul your choice of going with the Rubicon chassis is perfect. This will definitely save a lot of time. Good luck!!

I like the way you guys work together have fun and get the job done. Very entertaining to watch. Thanks so much for the content.

I like the concept Jeepster photo but it appears to have a CJ front clip. Even though I love CJs (I've owned 3 of them), the Jeepster needs a Jeepster front clip. It's what sets it apart.

Hell yeah!! That was an awesome picture of a jeepster!

A little tip from your buddy in Oregon. With a bit of heat on the panel with bondo, you soften it and just scrape it off with a putty knife.

Ok, Michelle and Paul( I apologize if I have spelled your name wrong) Hear me out…..the ladies need a Fab Rat Shirt dedicated to the Jeepster build. Just tweak the Fab Rat logo and add a bow or something to make the hat look more girly. Then add lace to the welding shirt or make it pink or Michelle’s favorite color. Michelle’s Fab Jeepster build would be the best! I mean you need to go all in on this Paul! Michelle deserves her own special build shirt to commemorate. Let’s face it some of us only watch it for the shenanigans that Michelle and Grandma Lolly get to put up with ❤😀Love the show!!

That looked like allot of fun. Rust and dirt flying everywhere,while old oils burn and add flavor to the smoke... I really like the picture Michelle showed.That's a tough looking Jeepster while having classy touches. The rest of the family can grab sandpaper and dustmasks and rough down the paint on what's left of panels.That would be a mighty big help and kindness.

The old Impact Driver, the motorcyclist's best friend!! WAY TO GO, Hunter driving the ArcDroid!!!! Sean is right, he's much more than a cameraman, give the boy a raise! So what's Robby Latron got that we ain't got, eh??

As you guys have taught us, Papa Darr says" beat it until it fits and paint it to match!"😁

Whilst i had that apart, i would have pressure washed all the dirt etc. out and applied a weld through primer to slow the corrosion process cuz it ain't going away anytime soon. Have you thought of naming that thing "Tetanus" or Impetigo?. Lots of work, glad you guys ain't a feared of a challenge. 😁

I think Michelle's frame looks awesome its always looked awesome 😂😂. Cant wait to see jeep finished.

Love all the videos and all the builds. Keep up all the great work!

Paul it’s good to see you guys doing some real rust repair it’s not fun but it’s necessary for all of us who like our old vehicles keep up the good work

Easiest way to measure wheelbase is from the edge of rim to the edge of the rim (as long as the rims are the same size!). Then your tape measure isn’t floating in the air while you try and eyeball the center.

Look at Hunter snapping that knife open like a MAN!😁

Let me start off by saying I love you guys. I still don't understand why you're not going to the wrecker games. Hope everything is all good with you and the crew❤

The reason they're not is because they don't want other people running their vehicles and trashing them. I don't blame them. There's an event where you swap with one of the "off-road newbies". I wouldn't want other inexperienced people to run my stuff either. Makes complete sense.

It's the same weekend as his cousin Merlin's big birthday bash in Glamis that has been planned for a year or so.

I always enjoy fabrication because in my opinion that makes a vehicle your own when you can design and build it the way you want instead of buying one already built I am really enjoying this build series I know the Jeepster will be amazing when you get it finished

That's going to be a NICE Jeepster when it's done! I bet Michelle is happy to see some progress being made. I'm looking forward to seeing how you fit the body and frame together! A couple small things I might have done differently... Rather than bolting them in, I would have welded the door braces inside of the door openings, so the doors could be temporarily bolted back on for test fittings. I also think it' a good idea to spray some weld-through primer on areas that will be inaccessible later, like inside surfaces of rocker panels. Metal left bare in there will begin to rust again fairly quickly, especially around the welds. But, hey, I'm just armchair quarterbacking here. 😅

Yay, more Michelle stuff

I'm excited for the Jeep build. Soon Michelle will be a bonafide off roader with her own 4x4. 😮

I love the rock and roll music. You put on when you're fast-forwarding, that's awesome, Paul.!!

You guys work with so many people I grew up around it’s crazy. I grew up working on hot rods with my grandpa who live right down the road from Chad. Then I watch this video and you guys bought this frame for the jeepster from my next door neighbor Lehi.

Glad you have Hunter and Shaun to keep working while you are always busy doing something else.

This video is exactly what I like about your channel - fabrication. Keep it up.

Use self tapping screws to get it all in place instead of trying to tack everything. Then pull the screws as you weld. Helps to get is all aligned (and back apart as needed). Good luck - on the build!

I like seeing Hunter growing into other parts of the job. He's coming along.

Ok, I am telling you about the look. I think the picture was saaaaawweeeet!!!!!! The stance and even the colors were great and I am not a fan of gray. Michelle, that one was for you. You chose well young lady. So I want to see you pat yourself on the back, you did well.

Thank you so very much, you and your team are the best. I'm praying for your family and friends and may the Lord bless and keep you all.

Just place the Jeepster body centered between the axles so there's plenty of tire to fender clearance for those bigger tires. Even better than a body lift! Might need to stretch the hood and fenders a little, but you've done that before. It's gonna look AWESOME!

Love Grandma's when it comes to doing stick of dynamite good suggestion love sense of humor

Little trick to add to your tool bag of knowledge...if you heat bondo up with a heat gun...you can scrape it off easily with a steel putty knife. Give it a try...no dust to clean up...just big flakes of bondo from the putty knife.

Anyone else wishes ben would show up sometime miss ya ben!!

"Wear some safety Protection gear when removing all the rusty stuff" Best comment from Michelle!

These young men are learning the trades forever taught !!

Michelle, I think your Jeepster should be what YOU want. Nevermind what anybody else wants YOUR Jeep to be.

Seeing what y’all have built over the years, I know this build is going to be badass.

Sat in my truck watchin’ Fab Rats… seeing all the cutting and welding has made me think about what I want to do in my van…. Need to convert some shelving into a work bench of sorts.. and a few other things.. inspirational stuff…

Since that Jeepster is going to be Michelle's personal ride, I think you should plan on painting it POPPY RED with lots of J.C.Whitney's stainless trim. I had a 94 Jeep Wrangler that was Poppy Red with a clear coat and every new stainless part I could get for it... it turned out beautiful and I received lots of compliments on how it looked. I also had Custom wheels from Discount Tire and good Off-road/Street tires on it. The top and interior were Spice Tan.

Hunter for the win with the arc drone. NICE

Great to see how your boys get involved with the shop work. Also i truly appreciate that you make not bought attitude for your buids. Keep on keeping on

So I came in from my little workshop to have something to eat. A good idea was to put this video on the large TV over lunch and then back to work. Whilst back in the shop, I kept looking around because I know I saw a pry bar here somewhere and then it hit me, I remember seeing one in the back of the Jeep Tub! Well, that's no good!

That's BadAss Michelle ❤. Take the Picture's of your Jeepster that are inside of your Head. And turn them into a Reality Michelle ❤. It's your Vision & you're Dream's Michelle.

Michael, if you like it, we love it. As long as it's safe and I'm sure it will be. Central California watching.

God bless Paul and his "man-cold", may God bless you with speedy healing. And may God bless Michelle for putting up with you, lol.

Awesome stuff guys. I am looking forward to seeing the full build. I enjoy watching things come together and learning a little along the way. Thank you for sharing your hard work!! Can't wait to see the jeepster come together!!😎👍

It is so frustrating to watch your videos and see you in my neck of the woods knowing that I haven't run into you yet! I love your channel and everyone on it!
