Michelle’s choice of music is absolutely perfect. When you guys were moving fast on the project the music was peppy, Paul hunting for the carburetor piece, the music was inquisitive. She gets it right. Nice work Michelle.

I love how Paul has more usable motor parts laying around his yard then I have clothes 👍
The smiles all around on driving this car are priceless. Thanks for taking us along on this journey; what fun!
Hunter, you are one LUCKY dude! I drove a '75 Nova w/headers and cherry bombs, limited-slip 3.73s and it NEVER sounded or ran like this!! One bad a$$ ride!!
6:04 Nothing better than hearing a bugle in the mountains.
when his dad started smiling I was already over here laughing and grinning! You can just feel it!
Paul & Ben, what a wonderful thing to do for a "young friend" like Hunter. That will be memories he'll never forget, or his dad. Great job & show. God bless.
Paul , you remind me of my dad !!! A totally wonderful man who always made sure I had transport that was special !!! I do have a tear trying to bust out and its bloody hard not to !!!! It hurts quite bad "trying" to fight back the tears . I think you know what I mean !!! Your just a great man . I didn't realize what I had until I lost him . This young man will never forget about the man you are.. 🥺 I know !!! And I believe you can relate. To be honest you all are like family to me . Life passed so quick "don't it just" 48 soon to hit 49 and it feels like yesterday I was helping my father put rivits into the holes he had just drilled .. Thank you for the memory's and may "God please bless you and all of your loved one's " . That there is some really great content . Thank you .

Also visiting the shop was great, visiting with Paul’s mom was nice. Just a wonderful group of folks at Fab Rats.
Jace is actually really good at making elk sounds haha!! 😂
Being from Texas I'm guessing that was an elk call. Not many around here.Those smiles are priceless. It reminded me of my '67 SS Chevelle with a 427/425 hp Corvette engine. Fun times!
The smiles on his and dad's face was priceless!!! That is very nice of the fabrats crew to do.
Hunter careful when you drive that..... Absolutely love your smiles of approval and appreciation.
I like how Paul's just sitting there in the passenger seat like, "When's he really going to give it? I need to teach him some things..."
Super cool Paul’s able to just walk out his back porch and is able to search for most of the parts he needs! Guess it’s well worth your collection of cars and parts! Love it guys

Bull Elk, I love the sound in the wild. I waited every elk season to hear that sound. When its up close it will get your attention in a hurry, I bow hunted Elk for 25 years in Wyoming and loved it.
I'm surprised you didn't give him a new set of rear brakes. Looks like he's going to need them. Great job guys, nice of you to do that for Hunter.
