    How could anyone not like Michelle's laugh? It is so genuine and infectious. When the Cox and the Wetzel families were hiking in the canyons, Michelle got the giggles so bad when she slipped. I myself laughed out loud. We all need more Michelles' in our lives. Having one in the garage is a bonus.
    Love the channel guys. Love the mix of family, fabrication, fixin', and fun. So much better than just watching some guy in an Iowa corn field asking every week: Can we make this (fill in the blank) run again?

Having the wife and kids running in and out and helping is just like real life. Don't get all caught up with the keyboard warriors, there are plenty of other channels for the haters to watch and get "just the facts". My wife has even started watching you and Matt's offroad recovery with me due to the family oriented nature of the videos. Keep the episodes coming!

      My dad and I did a basement renovation when I was a teen. He had asked me to rewire the switch for the furnace. I asked if the power was turned off, and he said yes. The screw driver slipped while I was wiring it back up and got a 220v shock. My dad, as soon as it happened, yelled, "Next time, don't trust anyone, not even your dad. Always check for yourself. "
      It might have been the best advice he ever gave me. I'm not sure he had to electrocute me for me to get it.

      I dont know what engine you've rebuilt, but my guess is it's a 426 wedge. Seeing just the front fender back to the passenger door reminds me of my '65 Dodge Coronet.
      I found it on a dealer lot when I got home from Vietnam and got stationed in Ft Rucker, Alabama. I traded my '60 Chevy Impala, and $400.oo for The 65 Coronet ex- Florida State H.P. 426 w/ Torqueflite. You know I had a ball in my sleeper. Nothing on the streets could touch it. Could catch anything in a heartbeat and not even flinch. Easy and precise machine. One of my best all time favorites. I'm anxious to find out more about your Coronet. Mine was the 4 door Cop Rod. The worse thing that happened to me in the car was; On a really cold Freezing Alabama morning . I had worked the night shift an was headed off post for home. As I left the gate, I punched it and at the same time the heater core burst. Instant fogging of the glass . I quickly rolled my window down, threw my head out the window an managed to find a driveway. You guys are great. I love watching your videos, and it's great to see the family working together. Don't let jealous couch potatoes spoil your day with their expertise backseat driving.🎲👍🇺🇸

    The best part of watching your videos is you aren't hiding anything and trying to be the perfect mechanic. Making mistakes is all part of life and you prove you're just like the rest of us. Normally a woman in these videos would be boring, but Michelle shows support for this "hobby"/work as well as showing she enjoys being around the garage. And as for "the kid", HE'S A KID, let him be one! Haters don't know what constructive criticism is, they just have their panties in a knot!

    Paul, I am 63, watching you do this 440 brought back memories from 50 years go helping my dad when he was building his 383's and 440's for his assorted Mopars. The lifters in the can was my initial job, other than the teardown part and sorting out parts and bolts so they didn't "get lost". He had a 1/2" thick piece of glass that was 18" x 18" that I rolled the pushrods over to check their trueness. Then I was to use a pushrod to pump up the lifters in the can of oil. He built some strong engines back then. Thanks for what you do to educate in an entertaining way to those that may have not had the opportunity to learn and appreciate the mechanical workings of the automotive world.

He taught me very little about life in general, but he did show me around the mechanical world of cars, trucks, boats and motorcycles as well as small engines. There is so much I have forgotten over the years that watching this channel in particular brings back the lessons. My dad and I had only about a tenth of the relationship that Paul and his kids have. He did however teach me not to take any BS from anyone, to pay attention to the details and to be proficient in the use of firearms. Funny as it is, I did not turn into my father. I am quite a bit more laid back, yet still maintain a somewhat skewed dark sense of humor that was acquired in the garage, developed over time in the Army and polished to a radiant sheen in law enforcement.

    Guys, your channel is not for everyone. But, I find it super fun, entertaining, uplifting cause you care about your family and something else other than yourself. The language is not vulgar. I don't have to watch it, looking over my shoulder to see if my grand kids are going to hear something that is plain Unnecessary to life. I loved the flashlite comment! Holding the flashlite is one of the hardest jobs in the world...lol. Keep-em coming. Get the kids involved more. Give them a small segment. You guys are great!

You’re all clearly great people who are prepared to help anyone in their hour of need, can’t say fairer than that. Keep doing what you do, there’s plenty of us that will keep watching. ❤️

    Growing up the son of a mechanic and having worked with my dad during my youth in his shop provided me with an education that you just can’t get in school. Watching your videos and seeing how you build engines brings me back to my younger years. I learned a hell of a lot from my dad in the garage, and I benefit from the knowledge I gained from him every day. I really enjoy seeing the interaction you have with your kids, and can see how you inspire them to use their minds and build things. I just think it’s awesome, and that kind of stuff will benefit them for a lifetime. Keep up the great videos and continue turning basket cases into treasures.

    Randal - I think it’s great that you are slinging the camera for Paul, if you ever get tired of it, I plan on retirement in a couple years, I could fill in.

    I'm almost 70 and I remember when my dad bought one new. It had a 273 which looks identical to the 318. He gave it to my oldest brother who lived in Louisiana at the time. My parents went to visit and my dad almost had a heart attack. My brother took his little car and turned it into a full blown drag car with a roll cage and fiberglass front end. It had a 440 with a tunnel ram intake with 2 Holley four barrels. He asked him why did you do that and my brother said once you give something away it's nobody's business what you do with it. I remember when they raced them in NHRA. Those were the pro stocks of their day. Don't let anyone's comments get under your skin. Don't stop making videos please. Thanks , Craig
