Shoulda welded an old wrench underneath the gauge pod to prop it up to the proper angle. You'd end up w/a decorative riser that fits the style of the roll back.

Good work fellas. Amazing work. I know many people talk to you about safety Glasses. Let me tell you a story about my Dad he is 95 going 96 soon. When visits the eye specialist the Doctors still notice damage and scarring in his eye from an injury he received working motorbikes in Scotland in the early 50s. So that should prove to you that eye damage is irreversible. Now back in the 50s no one wore safety glasses. I know its hard discipline to do, for me I was a Tech in the Airforce, so we had no choice or it was push ups.Anyway thats my 2'cents worth. Looking forward to your videos for 2024. All the best.

You know, I loved Ben on the channel. I was sad when he left and not a Shawn fan. But, I have to tell you I have totally changed my mind about Shawn! Please please do not let him go!

Brilliant! Discovered you guys after watching matt. You have beaten them / him hands down in my opinion. Because you are so true to yourselves. Love all of your content. Love your builds.

I cried about the white markers , now you will get more then you will ever need.

What people don't realize about recovery with a "Kinetic Rope." The tow vehicle only needs enough traction to move itself. The "1/2 Mass x Velocity Squared" does most of the work. Of course extra power and weight is nice to have.

Thank you 4 what you do,,,the music while Paul was building guage cluster was SICK,,,keep on keepin on.,,,Cox fam rocks

When Paul said they live in the middle of Nowhere that's actually a good thing. Ya, sometimes it's a bit frustrating when certain items aren't available but that's a small price to pay compared to the awesomeness of living where you do. I, too, thankfully live in the middle of Nowhere. Not quite at the edge of the world, but I can see it from my house.

Wow!! That was impressive pulling out that Semi!!

Awesome tunes with this awesome good video. Panama City FL. Here.

I am always in awe that you can still find sheet metal that old that is still workable, here in Canada most of that stuff has gone back to mother earth in rust.

13:15 …. I’ve used that same process before several times. You’re good! 😂

That was awesome. Pulling out that big rig with the rat rod wrecker awesome Paul 😊

Your dad would be so proud of that truck…Respect

That was a big win for the wrecker, I was cringing when Paul hooked up the tow rope, but no worries- good job Paul!

Big Shout out to Shaun(Sean) wearing the correct safety gear and I would think that Paul and Michelle are listening to the audience and taking it seriously,well done .

😊 kudos u guys! The editing with background music during the bench seat base cut out was great!

So be ready to be bombarded by 5,362 white out pens in the mail! Haha

I still find it fascinating that I can watch with great interest and intensity the rebuilding of a truck seat frame. I mean, who cares about a truck seat frame ? ME!

I love watching this seeing the service truck I instantly thought I bet ol Paul could make a bada$$ service truck also.

Like the idea of the foam use for sound deadening, once you get the sound mats installed you should have a quiet cab.

Fine job guy's, you pulled that Semi right out that was AWESOME. And the seat is gonna be way better. I think the foam is gonna work nicely to. Great day. Thanks for the video guy's.

Yankum ropes for the win! That tanker truck is not light even empty and all it took was just a little tug. Too easy! 😁😎🤟

Use a silver streak welders pencil for plasma. Won't burn off.

You need to have 2 or 3 snatch block pulleys for any extreme jobs where the pulling multiplier improves, allowing you to extract heavy stuff with ease.

Progress is happening! The recovery was impressive 👏 Great job and video! Thank you for sharing! 👍 😊

You all make a great team. Best channel on here .

Make the seat fold forward to access the compartment under it!

WOW.. they does sound like 'Mission Impossible' but so easy peasy when empty 🙂... and a real feather in Rat Rod Wrecker's cap 🥰 you will need about a dozen pens a week 😂🤣😂 Not sure why... but I continue to be amazed at the incredible fabrication you guys do 🤩 Power Windows... wow... really fancy 🙂

Hobart makes a shade 5 pair of safety glasses that work great for plasma cutting. Also, silver streak pencils are the best for marking steel. Keep up great content.

Nice work guys!

Gracious of Michelle to share that massage chair with the guys at all! Truly impressed!

The whiteout is also used when doing canister Damascus. It prevents the Damascus from sticking to the soft canister steel. The ratrod wrecker made easy work of that tanker. I can just imagine when you get get the ratback going. That turbo diesel engine is going to have some serious pulling power! 🚙💨. As always excellent work all!

As always great vid I think Sean fits in well with the team and the roll back is looking great. Chris

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

Michelle, those massage chairs are freaking awesome. That was a great birthday Christmas/present.

I’ve used expanding foam for noise dampening for years. It worked wonders on my 85 Toyota like Paul’s in the boneyard. It did more than the 2 layers of dynamat in the doors and floor. And I’m getting one of those massage chairs as soon as I get moved to NC.

Good morning from beautiful Colorado

Good morning Paul in my opinion if that tanker was full there would be no way you would even budge that tanker. I think lowering the seat was a good idea because the way the seat was one good bump you would definitely hit your head a lot. I really like the progress on the Ratback I am excited to see it when you guys get it done. I can guarantee no one will have a rollback like that.

You would be wrong. As a 46 years of over the road trucking, I have been pulled a few times by a 4 wheel drive pickup. And loaded. Sometimes, it just takes a little hump or soft spot to stop a big truck. They are designed for the hyway or hard pack surfaces.

Whiteout is used on the inside of the canister while making a canister damascus billet. The whiteout prevents the internal billet from forge welding to the disposable canister during the forge welding of the billet.

I’m impressed with Shawn. You can tell where’s been.

Soap stone will do the same as white-out just so you know! Can be easier to find at times

Love the fabrication vids!

There's a thing called soap stone that welders use to mark things AND it don't burn off. welding supply shops should carry it.

Great job on the seat in the truck.

Greetings from the other side of this gem Thank you, very nice watching 👍🏽🤙🏽🖖🏽

The Rat back is going to be a Wild rollback and good looking 👍👍👍👍👍

I have to say...I love that distressed look leather you have on the rat back seat. ❤

On the TV show Forged in Fire, the knifemakers use White Out to line their containers when forging Damascus Steel for knife blades. Whiteout creates a barrier so the hardened steel interior can be separated easily from the regular steel casing. KILZ Spray Primer has the same Titanium Dioxide white pigment. You should be able to spray a white line with a straight edge and follow it with the plasma cutter.

Soap stone or CHALK marker for ease of application =)

You have to be proud of the wrecker.Foam should help with sound insulation and that could be a good thing.

I like those silverstreak leads for writing on hot-rolled steel. It's sort of a silver grease pencil lead that fits in an old style drafting pencil. Soap stone is good too if you get it sharpened up ok and you can get it to write.

21:48 if I had to guess, I’d say Paul is about to be flooded w white out pens from Amazon in about 3-5 business days from this exact moment.

I was a doubter on pulling the Pete out. It was even more impressive for it out in 1 Yank! I also really like the seat mod, looks so nice.

The white out makes perfect sense if you have ever watched "Forged in Fire". They use that to line the canisters when making Damascus steel.

Watching your new show is Always a great way to start the day before church. I believe they need a little more gravel at that show.

15:12 you had to paint that gauge cluster yellow, kind of like a minion 😂😂😂😂

Something about Sean saying "Oh boy" makes me laugh!

Your Rat Back is looking so SWEET!! Looking forward to how you finish it!

Soap stone is what we machinists use for marking cuts and welds.

You should add front pivot and use the back of seat for storage

I use a silver sharpie to mark metal, just shows up so much better, but I don't have a plasma so not sure how it'll work with that.

Use soapstone for marking. You can also rub some on material so your hand can slide easily when plasma cutting

2:22 - late tip on lowering the rear end without having to push on the raised truck. Chock the front wheels of the towed truck, pull forward 1-2 feet. Lower truck.

That bit on the engine you drilled mr banks makes a very good part to replace that one and it removes the part inside that fails and blows up your engine I would give him a call I’m sure he will send you one 👍👍🇦🇺

-- Sure do love bench seats. Have a couple classics with them. My wife still slides over and falls asleep on me when we're rolling. My daughters do too.
