I don't know Paula like to think you should just stay in your lane You remember what happened the last time you went to a lake and hauled home something Ford powered
Ok who ever selected the music that was playing at 5:30, should mot be allowed to select music without supervision. Michelle if that was you. Please Please no more of that. PLEASE!
Love it! Even though the posi on the Chevy was the main high, Thelma and Louise took the spotlight! I love watching the family working together and having fun together. Congratulations Paul and Michelle on the content you provide for us!
And that's why I love watching this channel!! The closeness of all the family and the back-and-forth teasing!! Makes us all feel like we are right there with them. Great stuff!!!
This video was amazing and wonderful at the same time with special guests Thelma and Louise driving the Willy's and taking a ride in the '55 Chevy was awesome! The 410 gears in the rear end are awesome. What a nice car! We can't wait for the painting to get done!
In 1966 I worked with a guy that owned a 1955 post that was beef up and that car became what is to this day one of my all time favorites. And I’m 75 years old. My dad sold new Chevys at that time and I love those cars. I am full of envy for your owning yours but I hope you enjoy it and I know you will
Paul: Tom is a great addition to your crew. I hope he sticks around for a while. I do love what you've done with your 55. I'm hoping your going to give this car a beautiful paint job.
This family is the best. You guys didn't waste a second filling this episode with greatness. Grayden, that voice over was classic. Good job bud. Tom and Cooper good job as well.
The short clips of the youngins fixin their machines is awesome!! Memories from Grandmas was a real treat! Definitely looks like you added a few ponies to the classic or at least able to get them to the ground now.
Watching Thelma and Louise, brings back memories of my Mom. I got injured in school, Dad had the family car somewhere. Mom had to come pick me up in my Dads old Dodge, 800HP six speed manual. Anyway nothing was keeping her from coming to my aid. She got in that thing drove it all the way to School i still remeber the screams of fear the whole way as she drove that thing. She got me, to the hospital got my broken arm cast, and got me home. She passed a little over a year ago from Pancreatic cancer she went from fine to no longer here in a matter of days. Anyway treasure every moment and I really enjoyed watching them be a couple of old cool gals. Love your channel. Hope to make it out there soon been way to loong since I've been in that area.
Hi all, Thelma and Louise really should do a a road trip together, full road trip somewhere.camping etc, think a route needs to be made 👍 All the best Jon from Worcestershire England
Always enjoy the channel, keep up the great work! As a Differential shop expert I'll add a couple things. Posi Additive or Friction Modifier is a lubricant so adding more would make it slip more. Also the posi unit you had looks like an import unit. We see a bunch of those with no spring pack assembly, just a std. open block. So the clutch packs have no preload and just rely on what little drag they may have on them. If that's the case you can order the spring block, 4 springs, and a spring plate and fix that.
God I wish I had the setup that you have, so much fun and love for each other and the things you do are cool. That is LIFE.!!!! Enjoy Paul and Michelle you have a nice family. I would love to stop by for an hour or 10 to just follow you around and bullshyt with ya. Now get back to work!
I was also a kid on a dirt bike. My first was a 1971 360 Yamaha. I broke 3 bone in my right foot, 6 ribs, left wrist that dislocated the hand, and compression fractures of 3,4, and 5 in my neck. All of that fun at once. I got hit my another dirt bike.
A 3.91 gear would have still been amazing low end but even better on the highway. It would not have been much of a change at all but saved a little fuel on top
Hey Paul,,,i had a 70 camaro with 4.10 fears, at 70 mph engine was at 4 grand. Not great outside of town but was fun in town. I now run 2.73 or 3.08, more better for cruising to car shows
The clutch style posi additive is a friction modifier which actually lets the clutches slip more. I had that issue in an axle of mine when i put more modifier in it then realized that the lesser of the additive added would make it hook better. So remember, less additive if you want the clutches to grab better.
Better fuel milage? Pfffffhahahaha, that was a good joke! We all know that Paul can't keep himself from mashing the go-pedal at every opportunity... 😁😁😁
Michelle you have produced a fun channel...the builds are relatbale, i love all of the mini segments...Name This part...Story Time...Drives with Granny.....Thanks!!
I absolutely love this channel! Grandma Lolly and Grammy aka Thelma and Louise .You 2 rock!!! Awesome car! Let's see what the future brings 😏 Thank you for sharing!😊
Turns out those 55-60ish cars were so popular it is easier to get parts for them than new cars 😂🤣😂 Nice plastic case for that new rear end.. will make a nice trash bin in the office 😂 Paul & Merlin spells TROUBLE!🤣😂🤣 Great seeing the new adventures of Thelma & Louise... Gramma Louise is that one with the 'lead foot'... A good reminder that they were rowdies '60' years ago 🥰 you might have to build a step up for them though 🙂 Wonderful addition to the Ratshack Thelma🤩
Ooo,gezzz,that broken arm shot again?it getse Everytime,I seen it coming the first time it happened.boy was I praying for you paul.god bless folk's.just don't break a leg 🦵.
I got the Raycons about 4 years ago, I lost one cutting up a tree. I decided to get the Samsung for noise canceling, The Raycon's sound the same as the Samsung at 3 times the money. Now that Raycon has noise cancelng I know what I buying next time. There is no doubt the classic car is nice, but the Willies still has my vote!
Thelma and Louise ridin' high! Hoping Grayder gives us more adventures with tooling in 2025. When you and Merlin get together there seems to be a parts reunion in the works!
I remember my first dirt bike. It was a 125 Hodaka Combat Wombat. A friend's brother worked at the docks in San Francisco. Every now and then they'd damage a Hodaka when they were unloading them. Mine had a dented gas tank and I got it for $300. I wish I kept it. Now they're going for upwards of $5000.
Being a southpaw I agree sadly selection is not. Custom is the only way, if I make it to Price in the spring I intend on stopping by. Love seeing your elders going on test drive

I love how straight forward Grandma is. Evidently her Lexus drives well.
I absolutely have Permagrin after watching Thelma and Louise in the 55 😂
Love when Thelma and Louise make an appearance! They need their own channel.
The last 10 minutes of this video is solid gold! ❤ The voice over because of the lost audio was awesome!
There were probably to much bleeping they would've had to do with grandma cussing at Paul. She's a hoot, just love it when she makes an appearance.
And that's why I love watching this channel!! The closeness of all the family and the back-and-forth teasing!! Makes us all feel like we are right there with them. Great stuff!!!
We really need a sit down interview with both moms to tell their life story. Please!
Love this “Chevy” Paul!!! brings back sweet adolescent memories! 🫶🏻💪🏻🖤💛 Grams and Grams are Awesome 💛🖤
Love seeing the Grandmas drive.

Paul and Michelle, thank you for all you do to put out such wholesome entertainment! First smile and laughter in days. Thank you for brighting my day!
Those lovely ladies, just put a smile on my face, a mile wide. That was great.
In 1966 I worked with a guy that owned a 1955 post that was beef up and that car became what is to this day one of my all time favorites. And I’m 75 years old.

For old Chevy's... 55 is my favorite year... in my eyes....there is just so much to love this car is a gem!
Paul's mom is the funniest woman on the planet. What a great soul she has. Reminds me of my mom.😅
This is one of you awls best episodes. Love Thema and Louse.
Oh the lady’s looked like they were having a total blast there. Keep it up FabRats ❤❤
I just love love love the Grandmas.
Paul: Tom is a great addition to your crew. I hope he sticks around for a while. I do love what you've done with your 55. I'm hoping your going to give this car a beautiful paint job.
This family is the best. You guys didn't waste a second filling this episode with greatness. Grayden, that voice over was classic. Good job bud. Tom and Cooper good job as well.
"Do you remember the hand signals"?
"Their are a few others but we won't use those" !
Grandma is just a hoot i would love to meet her !
I'm going to guess that the 55 ride with Louise was not "kid friendly", so Grayders had to narrate. LOL.
Thank you Grayden, enjoyed your narration with your Grandmas' thrill ride!
Excellent video guys.....I love the test drives.....thanks for taking me along....
Love watching the grandmas and Grayders commentary!! Love the channel!
Grandma, you are awesome!! Loved it all, especially the part about the hand signals 😂😂 That '55 is awesome. Thank you for sharing
Ole 55 coming together and looking sweet 💯 I would like to see you guys do a drag and drive 🏁🔥🇺🇲
That Grayder commentary was the best ... man that made me chuckle!!!!
The short clips of the youngins fixin their machines is awesome!! Memories from Grandmas was a real treat! Definitely looks like you added a few ponies to the classic or at least able to get them to the ground now.
Grayder voice over is the best! I'm rolling
I love seeing the felma and Louise riding and talking about the good old days. Those hats you made are so cool.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS EPISODE! YOU GUYS ROCK!
Hi Paul and crew from a U.K. fan. So of all the cars you rescue and recommission this is my most favorite resto mod. Please keep it out of the salt!
Watching Thelma and Louise, brings back memories of my Mom. I got injured in school, Dad had the family car somewhere. Mom had to come pick me up in my Dads old Dodge, 800HP six speed manual.

Miss seeing your youngest son always fun to see you and Mashell mother .
There's a few other hand signals, but we won't use them now... it seems we use them more often now though. Classic!!
Hi all, Thelma and Louise really should do a a road trip together, full road trip somewhere.camping etc, think a route needs to be made 👍
All the best Jon from Worcestershire England
Love Thelma & Louise, we need more of them!!
OK then. Looks like you need to have a Thelma and Louise segment from time to time. This was so awesome!
This has been a great episode, the girls were really funny in the jeep and 55, these are the best of times!
Coopers face in the 55 drive says it all. The entire drive he had a huge smile!

My heart skipped a beat when ol gal came sliding out of the Willys. 10/10, she stuck the landing.
Never stopped smiling the entire video! And such an iconic car Paul. Thanks everyone ❤ Made my snowy day much better
Its a family affair! We love grandma lollipop she's a firecracker! It Really is special to see family playing together!
God I wish I had the setup that you have, so much fun and love for each other and the things you do are cool. That is LIFE.!!!!
Enjoy Paul and Michelle you have a nice family. I would love to stop by for an hour or 10 to just follow you around and bullshyt with ya. Now get back to work!
At 18:00 Paul "I like it" Cooper "I love it" Was waiting for Tom " I want some more of it"
I was also a kid on a dirt bike. My first was a 1971 360 Yamaha. I broke 3 bone in my right foot, 6 ribs, left wrist that dislocated the hand, and compression fractures of 3,4, and 5 in my neck. All of that fun at once. I got hit my another dirt bike.

That is so awesome that grandma made those beenies. I love mine and had no idea they were homemade.
Love Thelma and Louise segments, they are awesome.😊😊😊😊
I loved the Thelma and Louise section ❤❤ (Grammy?Coleen) anyway Thelma is a RockStar!! 😂😂😂
Hey Paul,,,i had a 70 camaro with 4.10 fears, at 70 mph engine was at 4 grand. Not great outside of town but was fun in town. I now run 2.73 or 3.08, more better for cruising to car shows
he had a 6spd that has a pretty tall overdrive. makes a world of difference
@oregonfordguy9812 it sure does,,wish i had one

Congratulations to Jace on the win last night at Bryce Valley. 15 points and a tray were clutch.
Absolutely love the voice over play by play on the ride in the hot rod Chevy....good stuff ❤️🇺🇲
Absolutely loved the Selma Louise portion.
Nothing wrong with having a ford or 2 i have an 01 mustang cobra and a 94 f150 with a 351 with heads and cam they're both pretty fun
Thelma and Louise were the stars of this video❤❤❤
You've gone and got yourselves the authentic sound of a race car there . And it looks like it can go like one too. Fab heaven!
Always a good show when grandma lolly is in it
Michelle you have produced a fun channel...the builds are relatbale, i love all of the mini segments...Name This part...Story Time...Drives with Granny.....Thanks!!
I absolutely love this channel! Grandma Lolly and Grammy aka Thelma and Louise .You 2 rock!!! Awesome car! Let's see what the future brings 😏 Thank you for sharing!😊
Always a good time when Thelma and Louise go for a ride ! 👍👍
Thanks for the beautiful scenery also😊
Natural selection 🎉🎉🎉🎉 the Gment don’t allow it anymore. We used the stand up in the front seat of the station wagon when I was little kid 😎😎😎
That's car is sweet! I can't wait to see it done and painted.
I'm Also happy to see you guys enjoying the Pack Rat.
Really like Copper you really have had some great camera men over the years
*Cooper
Duuuude! We've all been waiting for another Thelma and Louise! Thank you.
By the way been watching Fab Rats for a very long time. My favirite RUclips Vlog. Paul is a brother from a different mother!
Them girls know their hand signals 😂😅 !!!!
Great job girls !!!!!!
Thelma & Louise are great much love.
Turns out those 55-60ish cars were so popular it is easier to get parts for them than new cars 😂🤣😂 Nice plastic case for that new rear end.. will make a nice trash bin in the office 😂 Paul & Merlin spells TROUBLE!🤣😂🤣 Great seeing the new adventures of Thelma & Louise...

Ooo,gezzz,that broken arm shot again?it getse Everytime,I seen it coming the first time it happened.boy was I praying for you paul.god bless folk's.just don't break a leg 🦵.
Those beanies look factory. Nice work. Glad the older ladies got their rides...
Great video boy what a little chg in gears will do
Nice seeing Tom upfront talking. You have a great crew. Keep up the awesome work.
I got the Raycons about 4 years ago, I lost one cutting up a tree. I decided to get the Samsung for noise canceling, The Raycon's sound the same as the Samsung at 3 times the money. Now that Raycon has noise cancelng I know what I buying next time. There is no doubt the classic car is nice, but the Willies still has my vote!
I had an RMX 250.. it was great. Now I have a CR500 and CR480 desert racing bike.. Those things are monsters
This is one one of the best videos! Thanks so much!
Getting sick at Christmas really sucks, Grayden. Glad you are feeling somewhat better.
Paul and crew have made some solid vehicals! Asthetically pleasing to the ear, eyes ,and butt DYNO! Please , keep it in the fleet!
Paul said "that's 10 miles an hour faster", and I heard myself agreeing with him out loud, "Absolutely" I said.
Thanks for
Making me howl with laughter after a long and slightly grim week. Love ya Grandma
Get them grammas's welding, cutting and building! I'd watch them episodes all day!
God bless, Grandma in the Willy’s cleaning her ear with a key! Old school fix!
Can I come hang out in the shop for a month or so? My soul could use it! 😂😂
Thelma and Louise ridin' high!
Hoping Grayder gives us more adventures with tooling in 2025.
When you and Merlin get together there seems to be a parts reunion in the works!
You have found your new standard hot rod test. If Michelle isn't screaming, and Grandma is clutching her pearls, your hot rod isn't fast enough.
watching Grandma's driving the willys is the best.
I remember my first dirt bike. It was a 125 Hodaka Combat Wombat. A friend's brother worked at the docks in San Francisco. Every now and then they'd damage a Hodaka when they were unloading them. Mine had a dented gas tank and I got it for $300. I wish I kept it. Now they're going for upwards of $5000.
Have you chosen a color to paint that car yet? How about a "candy" color? Maybe metal flake added???
Paul is like a kid in a candy store loves his cars. Keep up the good work.
Yes Paul, you still need to whipple charge it 😂
Good show !
Nice upgrade to the '55 ! 👍
Being a southpaw I agree sadly selection is not. Custom is the only way, if I make it to Price in the spring I intend on stopping by. Love seeing your elders going on test drive
I love this build , 55 Chevy’s are bad ass .
Super proud to see such amazing content - my abs thank you for the workout!
Thanks for sharing !
Wonderful stuff Ratts. Brilliant entertainment. .
😊
I had a 1970 Cutlass, I had it up to 120 and yes the front end gets light
