To help with the scammers from copying your website and making it so they get paid and never send the clothing so people you can buy alt URLS for your main site. You buy the alts URLs that are really close you your main sites URL and use google analytics to tell you the most ways your site is searched with misspellings then buy those URLS. Once you have done that you then setup those URLs to do a redirect to your main site. I know holding multiple domains is crazy sounding but it will help with the Fake sites and if you fond the fake sites turn them into the BBB as well as Cyber crime enforcement. Ok well I hope I typed this in a coherent way cause I am spit balling this while typing. Oh and this is a thing Google and most other sites do Like amazon and more. K well I hope this helps out.

The best part of this whole video/build is watching the younger generation interested and involved. Growing up in the 50’s/60’s that was normal, young guys being interested in working on cars. As time passed I seen less and less of the younger generations want to get their hands dirty. Paul, you should be proud to have these young guys involved.

That they read/use the instructions first is a change. Those brackets kits are pretty confusing. My experience was, they didn't fit. But one I used was probably a knock-off of a knock-off. Very minor mistakes in hole location add up quick.

Im 35 and have been working on cars since i was 8 with my uncle. Now i get to be the uncle teaching my nephews how to work on cars, both of them a very interested in learning how to diagnose problems which is a lost art without a scan tool telling these new mechanics what to replace

Growing up in the 80's we used to get our hands dirty as well, while I'm not a fan of working on cars (just don't like it), I am a woodworker. Kids today are afraid to even get glue on their hands, it saddens me to see where our youth is heading honestly.

@@michaelmain1990 Today's cars you must have a scan tool, too many damn electronics in them. I drive an 07 and I still need a scan tool for the more detailed diagnosis which can still be a slippery slope. Half of the time the scan tool will tell you to replace one part and then when it doesn't fix it, it will tell you to replace the same damn part. Then you get to think outside the box in order to figure out what it may be.

@@raeanker3078 I was picking on Paul, not Landon. Landon could and would do alot more if Paul would just let go. Landon'll make mistakes that'll need fixing but so does Paul on a daily basis. (and don't we all).
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who gets made to fit parts that you have to make fit. 😁
Sometimes all it takes is a couple of words to send a guy back in time. Landon read that the rack and pinion was from an ‘88 Chevy Celebrity. My first car was an ‘87 Celebrity. It wasn’t the coolest, but was in two wrecks and kept on going. There was plenty of spare parts for her at Shifters’ junkyard. Every Sunday after church we would go to my grandparents farm. We all hung out, worked on whose ever vehicle needed something done, and grandma made sure everyone was fed. A hoist would have been a game changer. Now the farm and grandparents are gone - missing those much simpler and quality times.

"Pert Near" is common in Canada . . . Rural areas/working class folks. Means Pretty Near / close / almost there. I pert near ended up in the rhubarb when that deer ran out in front of me. (rhubarb = ditch in Canadianese)

Landon and Hunter learning, figuring things out, waiting for the green light. Shawn quietly getting his mojo going. A lot got done in the shop. Many empty boxes. The 10" wide slicks seem just at home in the rear.
In 75, I had a 56 that I rebuilt. Holly, Hurst, Crager's, Hookers, man she was sweet! B U T ! The thing still drove and rode like an Ox cart. What you have here is a NEW vehicle with old skin. When I win the lottery, I'm "gunna' git me one o'them" .

this project is my fav so far....especially hearing its gonna get an official paintjob. whoot whoot
I sure enjoy seeing Landon getting more involved in the builds. He's doing a great job!
More cowbell!! He’s a keeper
Shawn, I like the good old days when coat hangers are made out of steel we would fab our angles for tube routing from old wire coat hangers
You guys could almost tackle putting together an IKEA crib.
LoL That look at 7:20. I've had that look, I'm sure many have. That look of... "I can make this work; I just have to stare at it and think for a while".
Glad to see the young guns in there working 😊 God Bless😊
Good way to start a Friday
putinear done is almost done . I grew up with that word in PA.

Shawn is a good guy for Landon to learn from. He's calm and self depreciating which takes some of the pressure off Landon. Re that Brake Line tabby 2x4 is 5ish stuff. Teaching Landon the Eyecrometer method. I use my finger widths and lengths lots of times. But I don't weld and leave hot bits around.
Paul, glad all your help is good at reading instructions. LOL
Wow, shop looking clean!
Love Paul say "well I'll be dipped! And a feller! Straight from Derek at VGG.
I really, really wish I had ordered myself this in the blue when you had it. Love, love the design. So, gray for the old lady. LOL
My '56 had that exact same rack and pinion kit on it when I bought it. The rack was leaking, and I remember getting a reman for a Celebrity to replace it, but the tie rods were longer on the one on the car. I just swapped the tie rods to the new reman rack. Fixed. Unfortunately, I found that R&P setup to cause the steering to be twitchy to the point of being unsafe. I got carried away and replaced it with an Art Morrison complete chassis swap.
The only dampENer on a vehicle is the windshield washer, it makes it wet, there are Dampers on a vehicle though and they control oscillation.
I'm really digging this build.. I love the old school stuff!
Hell yeah brother! The cars lookin good, the trucks lookin good. Hunters comment about the adhd and dyslexia was a classic lol! Congratulations to Londo on graduating.

Heavenly father bring healing to Adrian Pyke, in your name we pray.
Purt near = Pretty near = close enough
"Pert near" is a fascinating phrase that essentially means "almost" or "nearly." It's a way to express that something is close to a particular state or condition.
Congratulations to yalls son that graduated
Can't wait to see Grandma take it for a spin...
Getting it sorted one piece at a time. Love it.
My favorite of the tri five cars . Actually I like them in the order they came out . 1st 55, 2nd 56 , 3rd 57. Love this series on your 55 Paul and can't wait to hear it run. You have such a great crew working for you . Take care sir and catch you on your next video.

The ol tri5 is gonna be one slick car you get it all put together! I can honestly say I'm alot jealous lol the tri 5s are my wife's favorite of all time honestly the only was I have a chance of ever having a station wagon and her actually liking it. 😂 We have a similar rig that belongs to my dad that was my great grandfather's a 1958 buick special it is salmon pink or coral, I believe, is the technical name for it. I definitely have a soft spot for the tri 5s! Ours is all original except 1 repaint in the original color it's such a fun car to just cruise around in!
Yes indeed coming together very nice and your truck wow looks amazing .going to be great to hear the 55 run and to see your truck in the sunlight well done guys
Pertnear done with her.... looking forward to that rumble!
Sean that bracket looked pertnear perfect 👊🏻
Good to see someone reading the directions BEFORE the install. Yeaaaa Landon!
I always enjoy watching y'alls videos, but this one was a lot of fun to watch. Looking forward to seeing more. Ps, glossy dark blue paint, blacked out windows, dark legal tint anyway. Would look awesome! It'll look good regardless what you choose to go with. Awesomeness guys! Adam

Seeing the firewall in Yellow on the 55 and faded Red paint, I think the 55 needs to go to Robby next - the paint needs to match the awesome fab work you have done to modernize the 55.
FYI, VGG's Derrick uses Sparks headers that builds the header around the Spark plugs.
20 years ago I used to drive an 88 celebrity.
Man the car is coming along looking great guys

That 55 is SWEEET !!! love it!! love the videos and hell, got my wife to watch to lol
The more I see these videos the more I really want to get a project car.... one day I will have my dream car which is a 64 Chevy Impala. With modern driveline and whole lot. One day indeed.
That tape measure makes me laugh, I used to do construction, my cousin came to work with me one summer, after a couple weeks he showed up with a brand new tape measure, all proud of it. We all laughed when he pulled it out, it was all metric 😂
I would paint it like the one used on Two Lane Blacktop, and American Graffiti. I read it was the same car.
Hopefully you'll make a FabRats 55 Chevrolet T Shirt's soon❤❤❤❤
