I agree with a ton of others, like having Ben in the shop he is a great addition to the team. He's a natural infront of the camera.
I have to admit, when Paul and Matt hopped into the Nugget for that test drive together, I had a tear in my eye. My hats off to you guys, and everyone that had a hand in putting this machine together. Cannot wait to see Eds face when he sees it.

Wow! I was sick when the rear end seized up. I have no idea how you kept a straight face as well as you did. There is no way that Ed can totally understand how much went into this rebuild/restoration. Its too bad you can't put a seg-way movie clip before you release it to Ed. Congratulations guys! A total 10 out of 10 points-job!
The Nugget has truly been a labor of love. My hats off to the whole team that made it possible. I'd like to see a good photo of the underside of the hood when all involved have left their mark.

Hi there is
Love the way you shared the sand blasting problem with us and it was fixed so calmly: great project guys: Ed is going to be blown away!
Ben is great a professional mechanic. Not messy & knows what he’s doing. Great addition. Seems like a natural KZreadr.
That would make the perfect RV life vehicle, it would fit in most fifth-wheel toy haulers. You could drive it right in and not have to tow anything.
The grin on Matt's face as he took it for that short spin said volumes worth of words. One step closer to Ed getting it. All that was / is involved with this are AWESOME!!!
They way the content has been produced, makes me feel like I was a part of this build. From when you pulled it out of the woods, to its completion! I've thoroughly enjoyed it all!
I’ve been so excited for this reveal for Ed. What an awesome gift; not just the vehicles but expressing honor and respect for a great gentleman and friend. The world needs to see your example and generosity. Special thanks to all of you who put in so much. It means a lot!
i cant believe i am so emotional watching the burnout. this has been a long time coming. you guys are masters of your craft.
Seeing Matt's facial expression while driving the Nugget , priceless. Great job to all involved in this project 👏 . Ed you rock , love you man!
You guys restore my faith in humanity.. y'all are great folks with shining souls
Ya'll need to give Ed a video compilation with all the hard work that has been poured into this project since he doesn't watch KZread so he can totally and fully appreciate what you have done here. Kudos, can't wait for the reveal.
The suspence is killing us! Can't wait to Ed's reaction. You guys did a fantastic job!
I can see the checkered flag approaching for Nugget reveal day! Great job to all involved. You all have dedicated so much time to make this beyond anything Ed could ever imagine.
Ed needs a DVD of all the Golden Nugget build video with extras including bloopers.
Kind of think a lot of us out here are very emotional about the Golden Nugget... Watched from the very beginning... The trek into the forest, the dragging it out (thanks Matt and crew). The busting down, all the fabricating all the sand blasting, all the body work, then the priming, priming and more priming, all the layers of panting (thanks Robby and crew). Then more fabricating more parts fitting welding (thanks Paul and crew), more dent removing, more painting, hundreds and hundreds and more hundreds of man hours. THEN the big blitz at the end during the test firing, I panicked when it locked up, but Paul you saved me a heartache. Just one more thing, wouldn't have missed any of it... we are all hooked on the three channels. , and now I just need to know if some of us are invited to the unveiling...? No we haven't forgot the trailer and Ed's bike for even more hours...
The Golden Nugget project has done so much more than people realize. I have been watching Matt's channel since the second month after creation. In all that time, I had caught one or two videos from The Fab Rats, but not much else. I didn't even subscribe back then. Then came the Golden Nugget retrieval. I found myself subscribing to Fab Rats and spending hours watching past videos and learning a lot of things along the way. Next, I found myself subscribing and soaking up everything on Robbie's channel and the same for Tow Mater. I added all to my favorites. All of you are absolutely great people. Watching your work, learning a bit along the way and enjoying the scenery from the area. If you ever find yourselves on a trip to Alaska, send a message. My door is open.

Been watching this saga since the Nugget's initial recovery from the forest and I'm blown away by the amount of effort , energy and passion by so many people that went into this build. I can hardly contain my excitement for it to come full circle with the reveal to Ed. Hats off to you all!!!!!!!
The smile on Matt's face is indicative of how amazing this all is!
Man, what a ride this has been. From floating Ed's library out into the river and sinking the nugget to this... It's going to be an emotional day when Ed gets the nugget for him and a lot of folks. This is a good thing. Thank you Fabrats and all involved.
Golden Nugget has been such a big part of our last eight months, it's kind of sad to see it go. Ed is going to love it. Thanks for sharing such a great project with us all. Thanks to Matt for introducing us to your channel and the great people that came with it. Looking forward to seeing Ed receive this new Nugget and bike.
Man, ya'll just take all the broke down and busted and make it work like champs. This is why I like this channel. Even when you're having to fix other peoples' mistakes, you just keep right on fixing.
The smile on Matts face, I don't think that i have ever seen him smile that much. Great Job
EVERYONE DID SUCH AN AWESOME JOB. YOU ALL ROCK!!!🥰
Ben has been such a pleasure on this channel plenty of extra laughs and help for these videos
Randall and his "Mary Poppins" song, and his improvised lyrics were a riot!
Congratulations to everyone that worked tirelessly on the Golden Nugget. You did and awesome job. Looking forward to the big reveal.
I too got a tear in eye & lump in throat seeing Matt & Paul together in the test drive. Ed I'm sure is going to be overwhelmed. The whole team behind this project did an awesome job.
The look on Paul's face when he and Matt were in it was priceless. There was a little apprehension and a lot of pride in what he had part in. As it should have been. I'll be looking forward to the next build.
You guys’ll never lose us in Australia, we just love you 2 and your family that means Ben too. There’s just so much you give and there’s so much to admire , the thing I admire most is how genuine you all behave , congratulations. Aussie Rob

Watched this project since it was pulled from the forest can't wait for the reveal great job Paul and Ben and FabRats team!!!
I can understand Paul's reaction when Matt left with the Nugget. It's like when your youngest child moves out of the house. You're kind of sad to see 'em go, but happy for them at the same time.
Mankind at it's finest. Hard work for another human being only for love. Hats off.
You folks knocked it out of the park! Can't wait to see Ed's reaction! God bless you all for your love and effort in this project.
Paul with the up to date meme , he's like a little kid of the gen z kind. I felt every moment of what you guys didn't show cleaning up that sand blasting material. You guys are super troopers
I've never seen smiles so wide. Job well done by everyone involved. Can't wait to see the give back and Ed's reaction. God Bless you all.

When Paul hit the kid with "Earn your keep, your change jiggle jiggles it dont fold" got me cracking up laughing.
That last test drive should have Robby in it too, would have been a perfect picture moment for the leaders of the project. Do a photo shoot too with everyone who took part of the project. History has been made :) I enjoyed every journey you guys did! The ride with Matt and Paul looked like a movie scene :)

Matt announced that they’ll be adding a Patreon ‘channel’ and showed a few very short clips of them reacting to their own old videos. In one of those clips you could see Ed watching things together with Matt. If that format sticks, they’ll likely sooner or later have Ed watch some Golden Nugget videos as well.
Amazing job, fantastic series, thanks for taking us along with the project! Looking forward to the next one!
This has been a really fun project to watch you guys build. I love it!
The amount of work everyone has put into this build for ED warms my heart, you guys are some great people!

It is so cool seeing "competing" channels colab on projects. Between all of you huys and gals, there is so much very apparent love and respect between you all.
Great work Paul and team! So glad you found out about the axles before giving it over to Matt.
It’s so cool watching this group of amazing people get things done. Every time.
The smiles on Paul and Matts face as they went on a test drive together says it all. To everyone that put in endless hours of hard work and dedication into this noble project. !! Congratulations !! The research, detail, knowledge, and love that went into this was phenomenal and inspiring. I can understand that bittersweet sadness Michelle and Paul felt as it left the driveway. What a wonderful journey this has been. I can't wait to see Ed's reaction.

Paul is a beast at everything, Ben is a master at mechanics , and Randall is an all around great personality , also you guys have a great family and you can tell those kids are being brought up the right way! Thank you for allowing us all into your daily life and providing top notch entertainment ! One of my absolute favorite channels !

Congrats Fab Rats on completing the Golden Nugget! I love hopping around on all the channels involved and seeing each of their perspectives and contributions to the build. CANNOT wait for the reveal and handing the keys to Ed :)
I love the Ben Paul relationship. My older brother is my best friend and whenever he comes over we end up working on my truck
My heart sank at the end of the last nugget video but when i saw Matts video about the diffs being delivered i knew you had it handled. I kept saying it but you guys are awesome for all the work you have done to make an old man happy. Gonna miss Randals southern draw on these vids, wish him all the best for me.
It’s amazing how far this thing has come. I only found Matt’s, Paul’s and Robbie’s channels after Jalopnik did a story about a Suzuki that had been pulled out of the Sierras after 40+ years. So glad I did. 😁
Great work guys. I would like neighbors like you. Keep up the cool jobs
Paul, loved watching the Golden Nugget build. You are a patient, tenacious guy.
Y’all have done such a great job on this restoration. Ed will appreciate it, and love it. It’s fun to watch how much love everyone has put into it.
I've been watching your channel for over a year now and always enjoyed it but I must say I like it even more now your brother has joined you he seems such like nice guy
What a journey. This whole project has been as golden as the nugget herself. Props to Michelle for the healthy lifestyle she’s been living as well. Looking good!
Everyone involved in this project has done amazing work, serious respect to all of you. An extra pat on the back for the Fab Rats though for not scratching the incredible paint job. I can't wait to see Ed's reaction when he sees the Nugget in all it's glory.
Haha the smile on Matt’s face Thanks for all the work folks, it’s nice to tag along I agree with what Paul said about it being happy and sad Take care!
Bittersweet…FabRats you’ve outdone yourselves! Thank you for taking us along on the journey, looking forward to all the future builds! 👍👍👍
Every one of you guys has kicked ass on this project...I'm so proud of all of you doing this for Ed. It truly has been a labour of love; who would work this hard otherwise!?😂 Again, I sincerely thank you all for doing this. It really is a legacy project! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Just as a viewer this has been a journey and a half.. I can't even fathom the amount of dedication that has gone into this project. Well done to everyone involved!!
Its been a wild ride over the months and tons of hours put in. I was getting a little jittery when it locked up but when it came to what it was I wasn't to surprised but I would not have caught the oiling issue either. As a fan of all three of the channels that did so much I can only wish I could be there when Someone gets their eyes on it after all the hiding and white lies trying to keep the secret. He will love it, Ed that is. The nugget looks great and you all did a terrific job. Did you sign that hood Paul?
You'd think by this point paul knows better than to say something like "this is it's last time coming down the hoist" before it's actually done done 😂😂😂
Yup, I'm smiling with tears too. Well done Paul, you should be very proud.
So awesome that people from all over are sending parts to get the project sorted.
wow, Matt tear'd up, amazing y'all are open enough document your lives like this
Once again Randall utters the wisest words in the video. Don't. Wreck. The. Nugget. An awesome job on what had to be a frustrating day.
good job for all the people helping and worked on Golden Nugget👍👍👍👍👍
Whoooohh Ed gonna be in tear with this .God bless you guys for you love for Ed
I hope all of you signed under the hood for all of the great work you've done and all the hours you spent on the nugget. Paul, Ben, Randall, Michelle and everybody involved there at Fab Rats are really incredible. Great job to everybody. Ed is going to be so happy and proud to have it back. 👍 Keep the great videos coming.
Ed is gonna love it!!!! I love how everybody came together to help get the nugget back on the road for Ed. Nothing but love for him! So awesome!
Paul is one the the most optimistic people ever on camera. I’ve done and redone work multiple times and it sucks every single time. We feel for you Paul. Keep going knowing that no amount of “oops” can detract from what a good friend you are.
Guys, there are so many of us totally vested in the whole story of the Golden Nugget. I watched the first expedition into the back country to find it, and then the recovery. You all (FabRats, Robby and Matt and of course Sean (Rocon)) have all played an amazing part. This story is epic and I have loved and appreciated every minute you all have shared. Well done. Ed is going to be so touched, so very touched. Thank You!!!!
I really like that you guys always try to keep a good attitude even when things go sideways.
