The look on Paul's face as he's explaining the FJ to Billy on their ride is priceless! You guys are the real deal, and we all appreciate your hard work and efforts to share all this with us. God Bless!
I noticed that too. the passion is real dude!!
It's way better content than Hollywood could ever produce. Just regular people with family values spinning wrenches and living the dream of freedom while helping others. That is a good life.
As already said, The smile on his face reacting to the ride and seeing it is priceless!! Not only that, but the hummer and such good advice He gives!! This has to be one of the most touching videos ever.
It's great to watch somebody who is appreciative of what was done and how it was done. I can't wait to see Ed's reaction to the Golden Nugget.
@@longshot7601 That makes two of Us.
Billy is a wise man! Seeing him and Paul is like watching a father and son, so sweet and so much respect going both ways. 🥰
The mutual respect between the two of you was inspiring, I expected nothing less from you - but seeing the respect he showed you back, and knowing it comes from a man who EVERY man could learn something from - made it all the more special. Even the way you helped him off the trailer shows what a true man you are. Many blessings to you both, I hope those in the younger generation watching this are taking notes
Nice sentiment, I totally concur.👍
The smile on his face reacting to the ride and seeing it is priceless , just priceless!! Awesome to see guys, you all did a great job with it.. puts a big smile in my face too!
Hey... that is exactly what I was going to write here.... "that smile is priceless" I own a 1948 F-1 truck with "some" upgrades and the first time I took a ride on it I had that smile... is priceless
Paul smiling like an idiot is also very wholesome. Rearly see that this means something.
I love Billy's advise because I learned that at age 50 the hard way. Started completely over and have not looked back. Paul, I have met many a friend that way. Love you guys. I stumbled over you all when you were narrowing the Yota bed and have enjoyed every second since.
I kinda know how Billy feels. At 79, I have been there done that many times. Was I successful? I think I was. What a great story! Loved every minute. Even shed a few tears. Young folks will never understand, until they reach our age. Thanks Paul and wish I could hug you both. One of the best of Fab Rats. From the flat lands of Central Indiana. God bless you all.
At your age do you define successful wealthy, achievements, or happiness,
I would love to hear your opinion.
@@Review-This Not wealthy, with modest achievements, and reasonably happy. I have a piece within that passes all understanding, given to me by my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
as a man in his 30's realizing he's not 18 anyymore, I feel this in my soul. I just hope i have as good as a story to tell when I'm an old man.
About a month and a half ago I let go of the closest thing to a career I've known to become a mechanic full time. I can't express how good Billy's words made me feel. I wish I could post a picture of the smile on my face! His words make me even more confident that I'm doing the right thing. Thank y'all so much for everything you do, since I found your channel it's been a huge inspiration!
Best regards, may your dreams keep you charging on to be that mechanic we all cherish.
My mechanic is old school and he and I both come from a world unknown to many younger folk, but this Fab Rat family sure smells alot like my yesteryear, this is why I'm a fan of the channel.
p.s. You know you've found a honest mechanic when he/she tells you that you only need this or that and not the whole banana. (and payment is not the criteria for your repair)
Again let me say, "Rock On itzkj13!"
Billy is a very wise man. When he was explaining the dreams we all have in life and knowing when it’s time to let go of something is extremely hard for a lot of people to overcome. But deep down inside he knew his dreams would be fulfilled by you. You didn’t just rescue a piece of history you made friends for life. That’s the most important part of this story.
3:26. Yes.
And we don't call 9-1-1 !
now this is one of those tear jerk moments for sure. the look on Billy's face as he's taking in the details of the FJ is pretty special.
then there's his words of wisdom, not a lot of bluster, just good honest truths on life.
thanks for sharing this with us here in viewer land!!
I love paul's humble face when he show the former owner his old truck!! He looks very proud!!! As he should be!!
Thank you for making an old man very happy. And in doing so, made this old man equally as happy. Doing it twice, means doing it right. Thank you from middle England
When two full grown men become two boys having fun thats great to see. Those smiles on there faces are unbeatable. Thanks for the journey that you show. Team fab rats thanks and respect ❤️👍
'You know why you give a man a hug? Because you never touch somebody you don't like'. The was the perfect ending to a day spent with a very wise man. I hug my boss that is 25 years younger.
that's amazing. the look on Billy's face. you could see how happy he is nothing like putting joy like that in an old man,you guys absolutely finished a dream for him
It brought my happy tears out of my eyes and down my face.
Thanks for shaving a few years off Billy’s life. You could see that made his day.
I was only interested in seeing Mr. Conn's reaction but it was super nice to see the big smile on his face when he saw it.
Loved the look on, not only Billy's face but, more, the look on Paul's. Made me cry. You guys are awesome!
Billy is one wise man. It’s great you guys are smart enough to listen to him. It’s a joy to watch you channel.
Dang guys, you guys are awsome, this one was a tear jerker, his excitement was priceless. You all are doing God's work!
AMEN!
The smile on the own owners face is proof that you all are great people. By keeping your promise. Loved the ray Steven's insert aswell.
Man oh man!!! This is why I love Fab Rats, honestly y’all’s willingness to help and genuine care for others really shows. I can always see it but just the look on Billy’s face says it all.. also Billy’s words of wisdom were something remember. Thank y’all for being y’all and doing what you do! Love Fab Rats!
Love how you guy's took the FJ to the guy you bought it from! Love all the smile! He loved it like we all do! Always love watching!
Excellent episode. I’m literally crying my eyes out. You and the entire family are such good people. The world would be so much better if everyone was even a little bit as nice as you guys. Love from Duncan in the UK 🇬🇧
So heart warming to think that there are still people in the world like you. You are so blessed to meet and have all these wonderful people in your life. God bless 🙏
His grin spread faster than the smile on my own face watching his joy , awesome job on the yota Paul ( I've watched every video of you buying and building that rig ) !
Paul and Michelle I know that brought a big smile to Mr.Billy face but with my old big Heart it brought a tear to my eyes . I could feel his excitement and see his eyes light up this was so Awesome . And poor Matt he was wore out bringing the she shed to you all , a little bit of drywall mud and tape will fix that crack right up Michelle.
Paul I love what you’ve done for an old man’s dreams and I love everything that you and your family do and especially what you create I hope to be at that point one day in Western Kentucky doing the same things I would love to come visit sometime or have you come visit love watching your show
Adam D: whereabouts in Western Ky? I'm from Henderson County
Paul you’re a good man. You made Billy happy because you are a man of your word. That’s a rare find now days. Nice Job Matt.
I can't believe what I just watched !!!!.... it brought tears to my eyes when the old owner of yj was talking about letting a project go to grab on to another....BEEN THERE !!!..... SO heart felt !!!.... great editing Shell !!
What an incredible video. I have fallen in love with that FJ. When they rolled on it a bit during the test drive - simply the best. So much emotion there. I hope you are cruisin in it right now Billy. Thank you for sharing.
Such a guy saying. “You put enough on it, you can.” Seems like I have said to my wife a few times. Paul, that was great taking that Toyota back to that guy. You really made his day. He will have so many more days smiling thinking about what you did rebuilding the Yoda and the ride.
That is how Americas should be towards everyone. Gratitude appreciation truthfulness. Dedication to achieve your goals. Congratulations this made my day to see that old man so happy.
I loved it. Make America great again.
I love everything you guys do but this is my favorite episode by far. Billy is a treasure and you're blessed to know him. It was fun to watch him see and experience what you did with his FJ.
I love his comment “No Ramps”. Where we are going we don’t need Ramps lol.
This is such a great video. Thanks for sharing this experience with all of us.
Billy is a wise man!! Simply amazing guys.
That's cool, Paul showing Billy and both ear to ear smiles as they drive down the road together too cool.
Billy's wise words are inspirational.
Thanks for following thru and doing what you said you would do. And thanks for letting us ride a!omg too.
That was Oh, so Kool! When you're an old guy like me & Billy, you realize how much of a joy that was for him.
I have such TREMENDOUS love and respect for you, brother Paul... You're a damned good man... Brought tears to this old man's eyes how you treated this gentleman and his dream
Those boys turn out to be half the men you and Chad are this world will have hope for a little longer
Then again any friend of Matt's is solid in my book, his reputation is as impeccable as yours and Chad's... If only I had a little more time I'd love to meet all you absolutely WONDERFUL people of God
Wow! Billy---What an inspiring guy…,you and your family and acquaintances are truly memorable thanks to all of you for renewing my faith in humanity….
You made an old man VERY happy. Just another reason I love to see what you guys are doing. Please just keep being yourselves and doing what you do. You may not believe it but a lot of people like myself LOVE to see REAL people just being real and having a blast doing it. Thanks for allowing me to follow along
You guys are really amazing I just don’t know what else to say!!!
God bless you for being true to your word and promising to return with a truly special rig. You made a gentleman and his family life long friends!!!
Billy is an example of the wisdom that comes with age. You and the family made his day! I didn’t know Matt delivered tiny homes, trimmed trees and snapped cables! He’s a busy guy!
Paul, you and your family are awesome folks!
101% wholesome! Been far so long I watched anything on TH-cam that I actually liked!
Thank you for “Wise Words With Billy”!
I needed that!❤️
It was so nice to see the joy Mr. Conn had in seeing his truck run again.
That bit about knowing what you’re good at and knowing what you’re not good at is probably the most important thing in general.
It is great to see good friends enjoying each others company.
Billy speaks the truth and we all know it.
Paul, the look in your face during that ride says it all. Your were looking to impress and looking for the reaction in his face. You could tell. The same way a child whos confident shows dad what he did. Full well knowing hes gonna be amazed.
That's pride. Real pride.
Thanks for being people of your word and making this man's day 👍
Paul is such a genuine guy it shows a lot in this video. I do almost anything to be able to work and hang out with people like the Fab Rats crew!!! Awesome content man!!!!
To see them both smile and enjoy it is amazing!
I love that Billy kept repeating that 'you did what you said you would do', Paul. Then he clarified by adding that 'not a lot of people do', which, I am finding sadly getting truer and truer these days!! Great job Fab Rats Team and nice shack!!
Really Cool…had to add, I’m impressed by the respect and caring shown toward Billy. A new found appreciation for what is behind Fab Rats, good people make the world a better place.
Simply amazing.
What a great visit with Mr Billy.
The finished Jeepster will deserve another visit too.
The smile on Billy's face said it all he was so proud of you Paul for doing what you said you was going to do from the first video i think he thought you was mad lol 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇬🇧🇬🇧
a man only has 2 things in this life ... his family & his word
Paul is a stand up guy that lives by his word
Thank you for being that guy !!
Hi Paul and Michelle and family! What a great thing to do to visit that wise gentleman and his family and spend time with them and take him for a ride in the FJ. It was nice to see Matt so comfortable in your home and see the friendly competition you two have. Matt is a wonderful friend and couldn't wait to bring you the merch shack. Fantastic show! Bye from Alberta, Canada :)
Those genuine hugs pay dividends to you guys’ genuineness of heart. ❤️🙏🏾🤙🏾
This was one of the best videos I have seen in a long time you made that man so very happy to see that you followed through that dream he had. Matt asleep on the couch was the best
Paul, as a recent sub and going back to watch older episodes just now, Mr. Conn is describing you, he was prophesying your future. You are a full-time fabricator, wheeler, and recoverer, you let go and grabbed onto your passion bringing Ben, Hunter, and Sean along.
very heartwarming. I was scared when you started cutting the thing but I love how the FJ turned out. keep up the awesome work.
You made an old man happy. Priceless.
Isn’t it funny how life puts you in places you need to be in without knowing you need to be there.
Great job guys and michelle
That old man is AWESOME. He's the best, he's a treasure. Really
You made the old man happy and made his day nice 👍👍👍
Billy and his family are wonderful people. He is a wise man.
Man. I love seeing the way your passions positively affect everyone around you. This ecosystem of friendship y'all have developed is inspirational.
the wisdom and representation of life knowledge in this video is off the charts. Seeing 2 generations crashing together like this made my eyes water with a smile on my face. I first started watching Fab Rats because it was an easy watch... but I have learned to love the channel and it's subtle qualities. I wish them all the success and happiness in the world, and protection from all the pitfalls they will have to navigate around.
I was waiting for this episode. He’s such a great guy.
This is what life is all about, making as many good memories as you can. This one was great.
Such a wonderful thing you've done. You could easily use your talents to make all the monies, but you choose to use your powers for good. You're a man who is as capable as he is compassionate. Thanks for sharing with us, Paul and family.
PAUL, This is by far your BEST video of all time!!! You all are so genuine and going beck to show the vehicle off to whom you bought it from is tops!! Then Matt bringing the SHE shed and making himself at home was just topping on the cake! Great video!
Paul I love what you’ve done for an old man’s dreams and I love everything that you and your family do,,i love you guys,,,
Billy Conn is a sweetheart. You so made his day with that ride.
Congratulations on the Rat Shack
Great episode! But then again, they`re all great!
Love all that you do! Thanks Michelle, Paul, Randle and Ben! And hello Matt, awesome buddy that you are
Paul you made a man’s dreams come true sir my heart knows the feeling he felt by watching your videos you sir are a good man your father would be proud of you. Thanks for sharing. ❤
I'm glad you guys followed up with Bill, I remember thinking what a fantastic man he seemed to be when you bought the fj, I definitely appreciate the wise words he had to share.
I must have watched this a dozen times by now, and everytime it del8ghts my how impressed and enlightened by Billy's expressions as he sees his ol ride all fixed up, lol now I'm gonna need a chute, just awesome 👌 well done
Great show !
It's always good to see someone follow through on their promises.
We need more of that these days.
👍
The looks and smiles on their faces tell the story that few will ever know.
Nice to see ya a bit more Michelle.
My partner says "The channel has lost something without Michelle's quirkiness. She brings fun to the channel instead of a sausage fest. Also the boys said "Right there" 14 times through the last video and if we were playing a drinking game we would be legless off shots."
Key life lesson: say what you mean and then do it. Lots of respect for this crew.
He's spot-on about the feeling of seeing somebody get use out of something that would otherwise have gone to waste.
You actually feel a bit guilty for not doing the work and it's a relief to know somebody else sees the potential and gets the job done.
As someone who has let go of many race cars I built for myself, I would have really liked to see what they have done with them. They all kind of disappeared from my sight. Props to you for taking the time. I am sure he appreciated it.
This such an awesome video! Billy was so pleased that all the Fab rats family (except Ben) came out to Billy's and the ride he got in the FJ made his day! The She Shed is awesome and so sweet of Matt to bring it up to Michelle and Paul. A little damage with the power line, but they came out and repaired it! Awesome family! ☺️
pretty crazy that you don't mind fans coming to visit you on you on the property where you live. but given the area and this community it's a lot different from other youtubers welcoming their fans. i think it's awesome you guys rock.
I love how you took basically a wreck and gave it new purpose with a lot of modifications yet it’s still true to the original. A Chevy engine is perfect: the original Toyota six was supposedly based on the old Chevy sixes and a 400 swap was a wicked FJ40 back in the 80’s. Love that truck!!
You all are just super folks. There definitely needs to be more like you. Shed a few tears watching Mr. Conn admiring and enjoying the ride in the FJ. Matt and his crew are awesome folks as well. Love the new shirts. My husband was talking about them. Our anniversary is in July. I ordered him a Fabrats shirt already but he's getting one of these as well. Really love the videos, it's like a visit with good friends. Stay safe and GOD bless
This was awesome seeing the look on his gave at the yota coming down the road was priceless and Matt was totally out good to see him get a few winks in I get the feeling Mat doesn't get much off uninterrupted sleep mind you I'm surprised no one got woken up by his entry into the yard. Truely wish I could just pop down to the shack and get merch but shipping my only option for now. Still gotta say the heavy weight hoodie is bloody good for the aussie winter cheers guys 👍🇦🇺
That was an amazing surprise. I feel like the people that come into our lives were meant to be at that exact moment in time.
That truck was meant to go to your family.
Exited for the merch shop and off-road tow truck Olympic.
That man is awesome, if we could all be like him we would all be happy and get along. What a positive outlook on life.
A very special moment for everyone involved. You are good people!
This was an awesome video. You guys sure made Billy’s day. He was so happy. Awfully nice of you guys everything you did. What a surprise to find Matt there when you got home. Glad you got your merch building. That will be nice. Thanks for a cool video. 👍👍👍❤️
You made a grown man want to cry in a good way! You put a smile on his face that would take a year to wash off, including the smile that's on my face! Keep doing what you do, we all love it, we all watch the passion you and your family have in helping people in need of whatever it is they need! The bonus is we get to watch the contents of what you love doing! I look forward to seeing what comes next!
Its amazing to see the love and friendship amongst everyone. I definitely will be visiting yours, matts, and Robby's shops later this year. I cant wait to see the golden nugget after its all done. I have a Samurai project of my own I'm working on.
Still beyond disappointed at the guy I sold my Dads Harley too after he passed. Asked him to take some photos of the bikes and send them to us on some trips they take. Never been contacted again.
Good on y'all for taking it out to the previous owner and showing him around it.
Definitely an onion episode guys. So awesome that you guys had the opportunity to show Billy your finished vision of that ol' FJ. His reaction to it was worth all the hours you guys have put into it.
So rad you got your own trash bags printed FabRats! the look on Billy Conn's face said it all. So stoked how happy he was to see the build Paul. Awesome Merch shack! Excellent delivery and unloading Matt. Can't wait for the Off-road Wrecker Olympics!
Hi Fabrats family, just like to let you know. I truly enjoy all of your videos. reminds me of my good friends who are gone from my sight but not from my heart. we was always wrenching on something. didn't matter what. just as long as we were together and having fun building and fixing stuff. I have never not enjoyed watching your videos and sometimes watched them 2 and 3 times. keep cranking them out. I'll be watching. if I might ask, can you make a video of Grandpa Sherm. I've seen the video where you went to his house and his eyes lid up because you gave him the opertunaty to tell the folks watching about what he's done to keep his family going and growing. I see the same thing in you, Paul. the way you stop what your doing to help your boys with whatever peaks their interest. well it might be to late to say. but I'm usally a quiet man until I get to talking. then I find it hard to shut up. thanks for sharing. I didn't foreget you Michelle, thank you for the hours of editing. I love the, name that part with Michelle. your getting better at it. thank you all for a smile on my face. God bless you all.
This video is a very touching video Great words of wisdom coming from Billy. You’re a great person Paul we can see it in you thank you for keeping your word to Billy it was touching.
