WHOS HATING I GREW UP DOING THIS with my Dad and Brother ! Just cuz they got a RUclips CHANNEL wow ! Back when I was doing this WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE COLOR TVs yet! The phone was a PARTY LINE with the other 8 folks within a few MILES OF US !
There’s a select group of subscribers that watch every video and hate on every video and everyone in the videos. Pretty sure they are the unhappiest most basement dwelling living with their parents douchebags you can get.
always well prepared great content on this channel. I have to believe there's a woman or two behind tge scenes keeping order. Michelle and gram and then girlfriend and wives if all . Nice work by all
Man, can we All just take a minute and acknowledge Hunter for the shop hands he's growing. From joining the fam, first pocket knife to a fabtech in no time. Learned to dish it as good as anyone gives it pretty good too bud 🤝
@jamesbigham9036 that bet can Not just revolve around Hunter, why do you think Paul an Shawn are packing tools? They been there an Know it's gonna be a fun run, it's open throttle season buddy. Only solid bet is, momma Michelle makes it out alive 🤣 I'd probably lose that one too. Excited to see the paint job
Tip for Hunter on the battery mount. The mount should go across the other way on the battery so it can NEVER touch both post in an emergency the battery moves at all. ✌️
i was lucky enough in life to have 2 close friends that were about 8 years older than me, but we were all garage gear-heads, and what they taught me was priceless. we hung out in the garage, drank beer, told stories, made fun, laughed, and had a good time every time. they are both gone now,, but every time i watch paul he reminds me of them so much. i miss them both more than words can describe, but this channel is as close to home as it gets for me. thank you paul, michele, hunter, lolly, and family for bringing some good memories back to me every time i watch your videos,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it helps more than you can imagine at times,,,,god bless you,,,,,,,,,,,
My sister had a VW bug. My Dad was working on it. and said it would go back together faster if he could cuss in German. We knew he could cuss in German, because he was a POW from May 10, 1944 until the end of the war. We did end up making a sand rail out of it years later.
@@jameslovitt994 I dearly hope you're not talking about my Dad. He spent almost a year in a Luftstalag. And it was nothing like Hogan"s Hero's in any way shape or form.
Paul and Michelle, I enjoy watching your channel so much. Those boys crack me up while they are working. It's like watching my boys while they are in the shop working on their stuff. Hunter has grown so much since he started working with Paul. Paul seems like he has the patience of a saint. Grandma Lollie is my hero. She says what she thinks and she gives those boys what for. Michelle is a beauty. I love that Paul has his boys working with him. It is just a great family show and I hope it continues forever.I wish we were going to Glampus with you guys but I am old and live in Texas and my hubby says "are nut nuts" think of the miles. That made me believe we have gotten too old because in our younger years it would not have been a problem. You guys enjoy life while you can and I will live vicarious thru watching ya'll. Be careful and have a great time on the sand dunes.
The genuine envy this channel has developed is one of the most needed psychological advancements in modern mass communication. I, personally never miss an episode, the way the Waltons never missed a Sunday Dinner. I need, something I am missing in my personal life. Genuine family LOVE ! How you guys interact is real, NO Hollywood BS . If you can keep it real, like this. You WILL have a lasting impact on American values. I love you like family! Thank you.
Glad to see Hunter not only camera man but on the tools now Paul you are teaching him well and I love the banter between you 2 it's epic but does go both ways you both give and receive it well
almost always enjoy your videos and the sandrail ones more so because it's the closest thing to a Kart you have. I used to race Karts in Ontario (Plus, Sanaire, Quebec and Clayton New York) decades ago. I was the first female racing in the National Capital Kart Club (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). I drove a Swiss Hutless. One of my best finishes was third in the nationals. I also used to help my buddy who is an engine rebuilder, so I'm able to follow what you guys are doing, most of the time. I've learned some about transmissions, axles and rearends thanks to your videos! (And a little watching Chad and less so Matt). I've also learned a little fabrication from watching Robbie, but appreciate his channel more for the paint and style work. Matt''s is more about a little of everything, depending on which video you watch. You guys are fabricators with bonuses! I appreciate your video style. You've got a great bunch of people there! Take good care while you go all out on those sandrails. (I'm a Swiss-Canadian, so you get Swiss hearts)
I live that pauls car has lightening holes all over it. The builder was hyper focused on weight.. and we grab a chunk of 1/4 wall bar to hold the battery down 😂😂😂😂 . Life long buggy enthusiasts here. I love all of these builds coming back to life..
I got a yankem rope a couple of weeks ago and got my loaded semi stuck in New Mexico sand. The rope pulled me out, but sadly the rope broke 😢 [we tied the rope back together] to be fair the rope was pulling 60,000 lbs out of sand it also had to turn my rig around and back to good road. We beat that rope up and the rope was only rated for an f250. I have nothing bad to say about the product. I also will keep that rope and use it again. Great product Yankem
When I lived in Denver I bought a 68 Volkswagen with an auto-stick and a blown engine. I was going to make it into a Baja Bug but the body was so nice so I just fixed it up. A roommate and I pulled the engine in the apartment parking lot and carried it up to the third floor. I tore it down on the balcony and reassembled it in the kitchen. Then back down the stairs and into the bug. It went from 1500 to a 1600.
Hunter, you should build the battery hold down the other way across the battery, the way you have it, if it moves at all, it's going to arc out on those terminals, if you go the other way it's impossible to short it out.
Hunter, with your arcdroid cut tabs. Alternate them, every other one fat side to the outside edge to conserve/make better use of the steel. Other than that dude, good job, thought you were just another goofy young guy, looks like you’re become quite handy 👊🏻
This video brings back a lot of memoriesWhen I was about 17, we went to a hillclimb in Kamloops where we saw a vw dunebuggy similar to the sandrail. We had a VW. The body came off. We drove it around like that for a while and then we scavenged most pieces of metal we could find to build a roll cage. We shortened the frame by 18" by cutting the tunnel and welding it together with an old welder. when we got it running we used to drive it in the local fields and back trails. Bits and pieces would come off because my welding skills were suspect. We managed to kill the engine several times. The police used to wait at the corner to our road, however they never caught us because we could go through the back way. It was a great way to learn how to cobble parts together and work on cars.
Give Chad's fab a run for his money in wiring! Oh that's rich, good one Hunter. Lol Chad is a wizard. Still like you Hunter, glad you are here with the Rat's
You need to write a book 📕 called Coxisms Old guys definition of smack talk. “The older you get, the better you get, because that’s all that works anymore” 😂~~Paul Cox
It was awesome to see Hunter working on stuff in the shop. That’s how you learn this kind of stuff. You just have to do it and you gradually get more confident and learn along the way. Paul is about the best teacher you could have too
Nice job Paul and crew , I really think you guy's are gonna have a lot of fun at Glamis. I hope you guy's can get us some great video of it. Thanks for the video guy's can't wait for the next one.
Hey Paul! Rails are looking great. One thing, you need to do is flip your paddle tires around. Cups face forward. Unless you don't have the power to turn em. Have fun!
Great series! Lots of work, you know who the boss is as everyone else gets a rail that works, mostly, Paul builds a rail with a new motor, and new fancy parts like the Holly 😊 It’s good to be King! Great series, I love it!
2:30 I used have VW Beetles when I was on the farm. ... I always wanted to rebuild one and set up the crankshaft with needle bearings!! ,, they rev LIKE crazy with that set up!!!
My hats off to Paul. When he finishes installing a motor, if it’s got oil pressure, the tach climbs. You all have fun but be safe. If you turn over, keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times. 😊
One thing we used to use on our sand rails were the starters from an auto stick 72 beetle they dont have the shaft that can get bound up in the bell housing bushing in the sand and dirt.
This has always been one of my favorite channels but the way you’ve handled the wrecker games with such class just speaks volumes to who your family is!!! Always been up beat never talked shit and just kept it smooth and even across the broad! Your not after fortune or fame! Your able to teach your boys how to do stuff, keep your beautiful wife happy as a worm in an apple! Have Gmom pop in and bust your balls just make it all full circle and wholesome!!!! Love the content keep it coming guys!!!! Hope y’all have a safe st parttys day
I keep seeing comments like this but don't know what they're talking about. Confusing as. I know fabrats didn't go because people were supposed to swap vehicles and nobody wants to fix their toy after someone else broke it. But opting out of something seems to have generated a HEAP of weird comments. If anyone can educate me, id appreciate it!!
Hunter gotta make sure that battery cant slide sideway or that battery will short on that metal strap.. should add a couple pieces to the side that keep it from shifting side to side. or sinsulate the strap with something just in case.
Well, I do believe we need another fine Fab Rats Q&A session in the very near future. A welcomed "Cantankerous Comments" bit wouldn't be unappreciated either. 😁
My best friend in High School had a '74 super beetle (this was in the late 1980's). His dad was a former diesel mechanic who'd gone to work for the telephone company. After high school he got a job working for a local manufacturing company running a bead blaster. The company offered 1 free class per semester at the local community college. So the first semester, he took the engines class and when the teacher said, "We'll need a vehicle to work on" he said, "Hey, I have a Volkswagen bug". Of course he built the crap out of the engine. The next semester he took a transmission class, same thing. Then, upholstery, then Auto-body. He basically got his whole car rebuilt for free. The reason I'm telling you this is 40+ years later, this buggy sounds just like my buddy's Bug. We had some great times in that car. RIP Chuck.
A 1900 is a pretty hot bug motor! I had a 1972' Beetle with a 1835cc motor dual spring valves and a EMPI dual tip exhaust, hot ignition, and dual carbs, that was a 'Fire Breather"! It could smoke a Mitsubishi eclipse and some other cars at the lights!
27:11 Paul waiting for oil to pour from one of the hoses caused me to flashback to my days of watching the 3 Stooges shows! Those of you who can't remember Ike as president will need to search for the show. Totally enjoying the sand rail builds.
I came to this channel after seeing you buy the car from vgg and I'm happy I did it would have to be one of my favorite channels now I like seeing what you fellers are up to ,lots of great builds .
Miss sseing Fabrats at the Wrecker pull this year... No one snap a Yankum Rope like The FabRats!!! Love your Channel and builds... cotinue with the Awesome builds and Contents!!! See ya later Fabrats and God bless!!!
Don't use reverse iv u get stuck to try and get out it'll round off the small gear that I believe is a softer medal than rest don't ask how I know it'll cause it to pop out of reverse and make a horrible sound
Hey, Hunter, it looks like you selected some thick enough strapping for the battery hold down. The whole rail could be demolished and the battery would still be attached. You must have added at least 5 pounds to the overall weight.😊
I've enjoyed this series on the buggies very much as I have owned 5 of them in the past. Can't hardly wait to see them all up and running in California.😁
I don’t care if it’s a Toy, a Jeep, a Dodge, Chevy Ford or VW…there’s something to be said about that first Start and the smile of those that Actually Did the Work to see those pistons Fire👊🇺🇸👊
Paul. Watching this video gave me motivation to get off my ass and get my VW/HARLEY TRIKE running . She hasn't run in 3 years and enuff is enuff Thanks again Brother Paul Thanks
Love fab rats both getting bored with sand rails. Looking forward to getting back to interesting projects when finished with them. Not a hater just a subscriber Peter liverpool England 😊
Hunter... @4:30 , you want to place the bracket 90 degrees from your thought. Bar goes between those two caps side to side on vehicle, not front to back. No way it can short out. Your idea is bad as the battery shifting or bracket shifting, while riding or working on, can short the battery out! BOOM!
When Paul’s kids went to the bicycle rodeo they’re the only ones there with mirrors, horns reflectors, fenders bicycle, axles, welded to the frame😍😍😍🇺🇸
The more I look at the Ratback's front bumper, the more it is growing on me. I wasn't convinced at first. Tell Merlin to bring his VW tools.... all of em. I have a feeling they will be needed. Now that is a shop cat. Nothing disturbs a nap. When I saw the fans on the little radiator in the opening shots, I thought that Paul had put a Subaru engine in his rail. But I was wrong.
I love seeing you treat Hunter like another son. Busting each other's chops and poking fun like old friends while learning from each other. 😂😂 Reminds me of myself and my boys.
This reminds me back in the day building carts to field cars. I can't believe the way the shop is growing. Must be grandma is feeding him well. You guys do some great videos.
As a VW enthusiast with a Baja bug and a sand rail I would love some more info on the fuel injection system on Paul’s Rig. I realize you are in a hurry so maybe when things settle down you can run through the specs and share the info on the manifold and Holley system. Curious with no manifold heat how well that sniper system works. Looking forward to the Glamis videos!
Been throwing around the idea to use a Holley sniper set up to build and old Honda D series engine for a jet boat project. I think this just sold me on it! Thanks Fab rats
It is a shame that every American family doesn't get to experience this kind of family togetherness. I think the country would be a better place if everyone got to experience some of their down home Americana. God bless the entire Fabrats gang.
Haters out there. Fab rats are cutting, welding, fixing. Doing it all with there family and freinds how can you not love that.
WHOS HATING I GREW UP DOING THIS with my Dad and Brother ! Just cuz they got a RUclips CHANNEL wow ! Back when I was doing this WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE COLOR TVs yet! The phone was a PARTY LINE with the other 8 folks within a few MILES OF US !
Yeah you're right, they just jealous Paul can have the boy toys he wants.
I make a few harmless comments now and then but I always love the family comardery and fun,it's clean wholesome fun and makes me want to move to Utah.
There’s a select group of subscribers that watch every video and hate on every video and everyone in the videos. Pretty sure they are the unhappiest most basement dwelling living with their parents douchebags you can get.
always well prepared great content on this channel. I have to believe there's a woman or two behind tge scenes keeping order.
Michelle and gram and then girlfriend and wives if all . Nice work by all
Man, can we All just take a minute and acknowledge Hunter for the shop hands he's growing. From joining the fam, first pocket knife to a fabtech in no time. Learned to dish it as good as anyone gives it pretty good too bud 🤝
Should we take bets as to how long before he is towed back because he broke his sand rail
@jamesbigham9036 that bet can Not just revolve around Hunter, why do you think Paul an Shawn are packing tools? They been there an Know it's gonna be a fun run, it's open throttle season buddy. Only solid bet is, momma Michelle makes it out alive 🤣 I'd probably lose that one too. Excited to see the paint job
He wasn't a man , no knife . Now hes a full fledged dude for sure . We need more contankerious comments . Lol
I was going to say "He got hired as a cameraman. Learned that well and now is on his way to becoming a fabricator, learning from one of the best"
Cailliuo?
Tip for Hunter on the battery mount. The mount should go across the other way on the battery so it can NEVER touch both post in an emergency the battery moves at all. ✌️
True, but since it is already oriented the way it is he could cover it in a piece of bicycle innertube to make it a bit safer.
That's good advise. Probably the issue was the battery being so close to the fuel tank. You really don't want the battery strap puncturing that.
We'll see how close the cable clamps come to that bar.
Or use a nylon strap. Like the kind on a marine battery box
I would have just used a ratchet strap and be done with it.
i was lucky enough in life to have 2 close friends that were about 8 years older than me, but we were all garage gear-heads, and what they taught me was priceless. we hung out in the garage, drank beer, told stories, made fun, laughed, and had a good time every time. they are both gone now,, but every time i watch paul he reminds me of them so much. i miss them both more than words can describe, but this channel is as close to home as it gets for me. thank you paul, michele, hunter, lolly, and family for bringing some good memories back to me every time i watch your videos,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it helps more than you can imagine at times,,,,god bless you,,,,,,,,,,,
Sean is so patient and encouraging. Just a can do person.😊
I used to love building and rebuilding VW engines. Got out of it about 15 years ago and still miss the fun.
My sister had a VW bug. My Dad was working on it. and said it would go back together faster if he could cuss in German. We knew he could cuss in German, because he was a POW from May 10, 1944 until the end of the war. We did end up making a sand rail out of it years later.

Just watched Merlins channel about his birthday bash. What a turnout! It was awesome. Ya'll had a lot of fun. 😁👍

I really missed Fab Rats at the Off Road Games!
Any idea why they weren’t there?
Paul and Michelle, I enjoy watching your channel so much. Those boys crack me up while they are working. It's like watching my boys while they are in the shop working on their stuff.

Be careful and have a great time on the sand dunes.
Awesome series can't wait to see them ripping around on the sand.
The old shop cat is not bothered by whatever you do😂
Yeah, he wasn't giving up that spot he got nice and warm.
The genuine envy this channel has developed is one of the most needed psychological advancements in modern mass communication.

How many Reality TV shows have we seen peak only to meltdown due to personality conflicts magnified by directors and selective editing?
Glad to see Hunter not only camera man but on the tools now Paul you are teaching him well and I love the banter between you 2 it's epic but does go both ways you both give and receive it well
How blessed you all are to be surrounded by people you can trust to do good work.
almost always enjoy your videos and the sandrail ones more so because it's the closest thing to a Kart you have. I used to race Karts in Ontario (Plus, Sanaire, Quebec and Clayton New York) decades ago. I was the first female racing in the National Capital Kart Club (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). I drove a Swiss Hutless. One of my best finishes was third in the nationals.

What a fun series to watch I gotta give you guys credit for getting all these rails done in such a short period of time!…

It's nice to see everyone involved in something that's going to be a lot of fun to watch.

Paul will put a hurtin on that kid if they box for real. Mechanic strength is no joke.
Like watching Hunter grow and do more things keep up the good work Hunter
Hunter, you should build the battery hold down the other way across the battery, the way you have it, if it moves at all, it's going to arc out on those terminals, if you go the other way it's impossible to short it out.
I sure love all your videos I'm 63 years old I look forward to seeing your videos thanks again for your time making the video watching from Reno NV
Hunter, with your arcdroid cut tabs. Alternate them, every other one fat side to the outside edge to conserve/make better use of the steel. Other than that dude, good job, thought you were just another goofy young guy, looks like you’re become quite handy 👊🏻

It was awesome to see Hunter working on stuff in the shop. That’s how you learn this kind of stuff. You just have to do it and you gradually get more confident and learn along the way. Paul is about the best teacher you could have too
Hunter flag your wires with a piece of masking tape and write the destination on in:)
A label maker is excellent for this if you have a whole bunch of wires OR Paul lost the marker to write on the tape ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nice job Paul and crew , I really think you guy's are gonna have a lot of fun at Glamis. I hope you guy's can get us some great video of it. Thanks for the video guy's can't wait for the next one.
Love seeing Landon!!! That boy is learning, every day.. Great teacher
I’m happy the kids are getting involved. Great skills to have.
Fab Cat doesn't let to much bother it. Lol😊
Hey Paul! Rails are looking great. One thing, you need to do is flip your paddle tires around. Cups face forward. Unless you don't have the power to turn em. Have fun!
That battery hold down that Hunter made if the battery shifts just a little bit and that positive cable touches it's all bad from there💥
Great series!
Lots of work, you know who the boss is as everyone else gets a rail that works, mostly, Paul builds a rail with a new motor, and new fancy parts like the Holly 😊
It’s good to be King!
Great series, I love it!
The buggy looks great and sounds awesome. I can hardly wait to see it in the sand!
Loving the buggy builds, this needs to be a yearly thing
Just drove to San Diego on the 8 and you guys are going to have a blast!
Those dunes are HUGE!

One fuzzy shop cat. check. Expertly installed.
I love the shop cat🐱 I think it’s the undercover shop boss. 😀😀
I’ll give yo $1 for hunter, do you deliver?
My hats off to Paul. When he finishes installing a motor, if it’s got oil pressure, the tach climbs. You all have fun but be safe. If you turn over, keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times. 😊
Paul just do the best you can with what you got it will always be better than what you bought !
One thing we used to use on our sand rails were the starters from an auto stick 72 beetle they dont have the shaft that can get bound up in the bell housing bushing in the sand and dirt.

My best friend in High School had a '74 super beetle (this was in the late 1980's). His dad was a former diesel mechanic who'd gone to work for the telephone company. After high school he got a job working for a local manufacturing company running a bead blaster. The company offered 1 free class per semester at the local community college. So the first semester, he took the engines class and when the teacher said, "We'll need a vehicle to work on" he said, "Hey, I have a Volkswagen bug". Of course he built the crap out of the engine. The next semester he took a transmission class, same thing. Then, upholstery, then Auto-body. He basically got his whole car rebuilt for free.
The reason I'm telling you this is 40+ years later, this buggy sounds just like my buddy's Bug. We had some great times in that car. RIP Chuck.
I used those pushrod tubes once... Leaked like a siv. Stock tubes are the best.
A 1900 is a pretty hot bug motor! I had a 1972' Beetle with a 1835cc motor dual spring valves and a EMPI dual tip exhaust, hot ignition, and dual carbs, that was a 'Fire Breather"! It could smoke a Mitsubishi eclipse and some other cars at the lights!
Thank you Paul and crew for the update on the sand rails !
27:11 Paul waiting for oil to pour from one of the hoses caused me to flashback to my days of watching the 3 Stooges shows! Those of you who can't remember Ike as president will need to search for the show. Totally enjoying the sand rail builds.
Lucky it had that bad starter or they definitely would have been wearing oil
Love watching you guys all work and play together especially father and sons! Love dune buggy and Volkswagens!!
I came to this channel after seeing you buy the car from vgg and I'm happy I did it would have to be one of my favorite channels now I like seeing what you fellers are up to ,lots of great builds .

I can't wait to see yous flying around on the sand dunes. Hope yous get everything running right
Crystal and Ron here! Nice meeting you in Glamis! Youre doing a great job raising your family! 👍🙏 Hope we meet again!
Don't use reverse iv u get stuck to try and get out it'll round off the small gear that I believe is a softer medal than rest don't ask how I know it'll cause it to pop out of reverse and make a horrible sound
Hey, Hunter, it looks like you selected some thick enough strapping for the battery hold down. The whole rail could be demolished and the battery would still be attached. You must have added at least 5 pounds to the overall weight.😊
I've enjoyed this series on the buggies very much as I have owned 5 of them in the past. Can't hardly wait to see them all up and running in California.😁
I don’t care if it’s a Toy, a Jeep, a Dodge, Chevy Ford or VW…there’s something to be said about that first Start and the smile of those that Actually Did the Work to see those pistons Fire👊🇺🇸👊
I can't wait to see how you're going to get everything to Glamis. How many trucks and trailers and how creative you're going to stack them.
Cool to see the final push. Hope you post some of your fun at Glamis after Merlin uploads.
4:48 just rachet strap on top of the battery to the side and it will be FINE :D
What a great sound . That first kick off is such a relief ✓
Heck ya I like all the Buggy building yall been doing !
Paul. Watching this video gave me motivation to get off my ass and get my VW/HARLEY TRIKE
running . She hasn't run in 3 years and enuff is enuff
Thanks again Brother Paul Thanks
It will be great to see the buggy's in the sand..
You all have been working hard to get these buggies rolling and now it’s time to go have some fun.
Love fab rats both getting bored with sand rails. Looking forward to getting back to interesting projects when finished with them.
Not a hater just a subscriber
Peter liverpool England 😊
Don’t forget the throttle pedal on top of steering and wiring. Those things look like a ton of fun. I can’t wait to see the episode in Glamis!
Hunter... @4:30 , you want to place the bracket 90 degrees from your thought. Bar goes between those two caps side to side on vehicle, not front to back. No way it can short out. Your idea is bad as the battery shifting or bracket shifting, while riding or working on, can short the battery out! BOOM!
When Paul’s kids went to the bicycle rodeo they’re the only ones there with mirrors, horns reflectors, fenders bicycle, axles, welded to the frame😍😍😍🇺🇸
I’m always surprised, and pleased, that you don’t get a lot of grief from the local cops.
The more I look at the Ratback's front bumper, the more it is growing on me. I wasn't convinced at first.
Tell Merlin to bring his VW tools.... all of em. I have a feeling they will be needed.
Now that is a shop cat. Nothing disturbs a nap.
When I saw the fans on the little radiator in the opening shots, I thought that Paul had put a Subaru engine in his rail. But I was wrong.
HUNTER IS THE LUCKIEST SOB ON THE PLANET!
HE’S GETTING PAID TO LEARN EVERYTHING, AND ANYTHING IN THE SHOP BY ONE OF THE VERY BEST!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🇺🇸
I love seeing you treat Hunter like another son. Busting each other's chops and poking fun like old friends while learning from each other. 😂😂
Reminds me of myself and my boys.
This reminds me back in the day building carts to field cars. I can't believe the way the shop is growing. Must be grandma is feeding him well. You guys do some great videos.
How did the sand rails do at Merlin's Birthday bash? Lord knows you all worked your hearts off! Your rail looks amazing! Thanks for a great video!
That is awesome to watch.
44 minute Sunday video... wow thanks Fab Rats love it . Thank you for your hard work!
As a VW enthusiast with a Baja bug and a sand rail I would love some more info on the fuel injection system on Paul’s Rig. I realize you are in a hurry so maybe when things settle down you can run through the specs and share the info on the manifold and Holley system. Curious with no manifold heat how well that sniper system works. Looking forward to the Glamis videos!
Paul, after you get 1 or 2 turbos on it, put a set of slicks on it and take it to the drag strip!
It impresses me how close the 3 of you have become. Another awesome video!
Fab Rats has been and always will be my top favorite RUclips off-road channel! Thank you for all you do!
Been throwing around the idea to use a Holley sniper set up to build and old Honda D series engine for a jet boat project. I think this just sold me on it! Thanks Fab rats
It is a shame that every American family doesn't get to experience this kind of family togetherness. I think the country would be a better place if everyone got to experience some of their down home Americana. God bless the entire Fabrats gang.
I WANT ANOTHER BUGGY SO BAD NOW!! THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!!
We had a Miller Matic 250 set up for aluminum with a spool gun back in the 90's Best set up ever
That is one beautiful engine you built!!
That’s coming from a guy that used to work on VW bugs and busses customizing them back in the mid 80’s!
That buggy should be a blast in the dunes!
you should have gone to the offroad games, was a blast
