"Well, you can't make it worse."
Seriously, we need t-shirts with granma Lolly's best one-liners! 😂😁🤟
I second this.
I Third This!
Fourth
I also agree so that makes least 5 of us who would like to see this happen.. Well least 5 of us willing to comment about it. Lol
Everyone who supports the motion has to buy at least one of each style made. All sales final.......
Grandma Lolly there with the words of encouragement “well, you can’t make it worse” 😂 you all are awesome!
Admitting you know nothing is far better than pretending you know ...
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Impressed by Shaun's leadership skills! Well done!
The picture of the Jeepster that was sent to you is perfect.
That was actually a post I made on a Facebook Fab Rats Fan Page, I was trying to combine a Vision to please Paul and Michelle's Tastes
That Jeepster fan pic looks awesome! Especially with a removable hard top!!
RIP Carl Weathers !!! The Jeepster is coming along nicely !!!
The things men do for their Wife's! Good job Paul. Keep her safe on the road. Good luck and may God bless you and your family. 🎉🙏 😊
it's all about the 🐈 kitty😂😂😂
Sorry to be that guy... Plural wife's is spelt wives, In English literature anyway. It also bothers me when Paul says acrost for across.🤐
Haters will always hate, we love families and the family dynamics. Mommas and wives are always a beautiful part of these videos...
Sean comes across as a real easy guy to get along with.
I was just going to suggest an impact driver but should have known you've got at least one. Everyone that works on stuff should have one! I gave one to my son in law for his birthday an he looked at me like "so?" LOL. I said "some day you'll thank me for it!"
I think you are correct Michelle it's going to beautiful and totally awesome Paul will be jealous especially if you let robby Layton put some of his touch on it happy for you
Awesome work guys. It's going to be amazing when you're done. I hope Michelle gets the mud-bug and takes it out wheelin' when it's done.
Holy cow, that was actually my post on Facebook, she picked, she did actually comment that she loved it, that makes me feel amazing, Michelle go for it I knew the color was probably wrong but thanks for commenting on my post!! My Original Post to the Fab Rats Official Fan Page was on Dec 11th 2023 if yall wanna see the pic better
The colour is just right.
That is nearly how I envisioned it. Great looking build
Need to post the picture here
@caseyriches7899 I tried it won't let me but if your on the Official Fan Page I made the post Dec 11th 2023
You all have picked quite a project!!
I like the picture Michelle showed.
Paul your choice of going with the Rubicon chassis is perfect. This will definitely save a lot of time. Good luck!!
Did Hunter pull out his own knife to open those boxes? He’s growing up. Haha
Wow !! He did . Soo proud of him .
3rd punch on his Mancard ;)
And he even flicked it open like a ninja 🥷
Everyone - Excellent job! Great editing and Michell, you need to be in each and every video. Hunter _ Great work! Shaun _ you are an OUTSTANDING part of the crew!
One of my favorite channels. Thanks for being real.
Makes me happy to wear the same shirt as Paul is. I feel like these guys are part of my family also.
It's really great to see these young men becoming a real asset,They have come a long way in a short amount of time.
I definitely think the Jeepster should be modeled after the picture. That thing is awesome. You will definitely turn some heads with it. I love the fact your channel hasn’t gotten corny are scripted like some of the others. Love the channel
Just finished watching robbie layton and a fab rats vid lands 20secs after watching that, what a sunday it is :D
Happens every Wenesday Friday and sunday
Use self tapping screws to get it all in place instead of trying to tack everything. Then pull the screws as you weld.
Helps to get is all aligned (and back apart as needed).
Good luck - on the build!
HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP to Fab Rats!👍
Take 2 pieces of plywood. Cut groves in a pattern. Sandwich your floorpan between the 2 pieces of wood.
Then put roundstock in the grooves and hit or press the roundstock.
It will make really nice supportive bends on the sheetmetal
I love your dream jeepster, anxious to see the color Michele picks & to hear her howl when she drives it for the first time!
I've been meaninbg to say this for a while but Sean is a really strong addition to the team.
Great job guys it’s a lot of work! We are in the middle of our jeepster project as well. With a rust repair and JKU frame swap (shortened) and 5.3 LS with 4L80…..IT IS A PROJECT!
Love those Jeep projects!!
Hunter for the win with the arc drone. NICE
Almost looks like a complete rebuild from scratch. It is gonna be super awesome! Shawn, it's ok to admit when you don't know how to do something, but don't doubt yourself! Looked like you handled it all quite nicely. Hunter.....gonna make a fabricator out of you yet 😀 You guys both did awesome while Paul and Michelle where out getting the final piece. G'ma Lolly....love your straight forward no BS comments. Excited to follow along on this build and seeing what it turns into. Thank you for sharing
Gma Lolly is a gangsta! She just doesnt care!! Lol...hilarious!!
Like my mother would say I'm at that age to where I can do and say anything
I ain't messing with her , she the most gangsta rat outta the pack . I'm on her side .
That's going to be a NICE Jeepster when it's done! I bet Michelle is happy to see some progress being made. I'm looking forward to seeing how you fit the body and frame together!
A couple small things I might have done differently...
Rather than bolting them in, I would have welded the door braces inside of the door openings, so the doors could be temporarily bolted back on for test fittings.
I also think it' a good idea to spray some weld-through primer on areas that will be inaccessible later, like inside surfaces of rocker panels. Metal left bare in there will begin to rust again fairly quickly, especially around the welds.
But, hey, I'm just armchair quarterbacking here. 😅
Excellent Project. I did a '69 Commando 15 or so years ago. Viper Red w/ white top/trim.
That odd fire v6 will run when built, some other Jeepster guy may want yours.
With your frame swap you can avoid sooooo many problems with that 1930's design.
Anyone else wishes ben would show up sometime miss ya ben!!
Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing the progress on the Jeepster! I would recommend using steel it or primer on the bare metal and seam sealer where the pieces come together for longevity.
I love this channel, because it gives me confidence to take on projects like these in my own garage.
Glad you have Hunter and Shaun to keep working while you are always busy doing something else.
That looked like allot of fun. Rust and dirt flying everywhere,while old oils burn and add flavor to the smoke...
I really like the picture Michelle showed.That's a tough looking Jeepster while having classy touches.
The rest of the family can grab sandpaper and dustmasks and rough down the paint on what's left of panels.That would be a mighty big help and kindness.
Seeing what y’all have built over the years, I know this build is going to be badass.
I like the concept Jeepster photo but it appears to have a CJ front clip. Even though I love CJs (I've owned 3 of them), the Jeepster needs a Jeepster front clip. It's what sets it apart.
Hell yeah!! That was an awesome picture of a jeepster!
I think Michelle's frame looks awesome its always looked awesome 😂😂. Cant wait to see jeep finished.
Eww
I like seeing Hunter growing into other parts of the job. He's coming along.
Whilst i had that apart, i would have pressure washed all the dirt etc. out and applied a weld through primer to slow the corrosion process cuz it ain't going away anytime soon. Have you thought of naming that thing "Tetanus" or Impetigo?. Lots of work, glad you guys ain't a feared of a challenge. 😁
"Wear some safety Protection gear when removing all the rusty stuff" Best comment from Michelle!
Prayers and best wishes to you Paul. Women will never know the true pain and discomfort of a man cold.
Sat in my truck watchin’ Fab Rats… seeing all the cutting and welding has made me think about what I want to do in my van…. Need to convert some shelving into a work bench of sorts.. and a few other things.. inspirational stuff…
"You can't make it worse" .Good Tee shirt logo!
As we would say back in the cave man days last century.......What a Great Wife and partner in crime Paul has in Michelle. Best relationship on the tubes.
Grandma is the boss.
Going to be an awsome ride
Love all the videos and all the builds. Keep up all the great work!
I always enjoy fabrication because in my opinion that makes a vehicle your own when you can design and build it the way you want instead of buying one already built
I am really enjoying this build series I know the Jeepster will be amazing when you get it finished
Ok, Michelle and Paul( I apologize if I have spelled your name wrong) Hear me out…..the ladies need a Fab Rat Shirt dedicated to the Jeepster build. Just tweak the Fab Rat logo and add a bow or something to make the hat look more girly. Then add lace to the welding shirt or make it pink or Michelle’s favorite color. Michelle’s Fab Jeepster build would be the best! I mean you need to go all in on this Paul! Michelle deserves her own special build shirt to commemorate. Let’s face it some of us only watch it for the shenanigans that Michelle and Grandma Lolly get to put up with ❤😀Love the show!!
That picture is definitely what you need to do! It's going to be awesome!
Look at Hunter snapping that knife open like a MAN!😁
Paul it’s good to see you guys doing some real rust repair it’s not fun but it’s necessary for all of us who like our old vehicles keep up the good work
Let me start off by saying I love you guys. I still don't understand why you're not going to the wrecker games. Hope everything is all good with you and the crew❤
The reason they're not is because they don't want other people running their vehicles and trashing them. I don't blame them. There's an event where you swap with one of the "off-road newbies". I wouldn't want other inexperienced people to run my stuff either. Makes complete sense.
He don’t want some dumb ass TH-camr driving his rig, definitely don’t blame him for that though
Exactly@@DavidBergman1776
As another commenter has said, "I sense a disturbance in the force". I hope there is no strain on Paul's and Matt's friendship. I agree with Paul's stance of not wanting a newb driving his rig.
It's the same weekend as his cousin Merlin's big birthday bash in Glamis that has been planned for a year or so.
Michael thinks she's getting new paint on the jeepster. Nothing gets new paint other than radel can paint. Love the progress.
Yay, more Michelle stuff
Outstanding job Fab-Rats and God Bless America!!
awesome work guys!! can't wait to see the jeepster done. some friendly pointers use weld thru primer or etch primer on parts that you can't get to later, That way you can
minimize rust in the future, and those crossbeams under the floor if you plugweld them to the floor then it’s gonna be more stable. keep up the good work🤘🤘
Fast forward 6 years. Michelle is doing all the builds Paul is doing emails and all of her haters have died from the dreaded deadly H virus. I love you Michelle.
I like the style in the photo, Gracie should really enjoy a rig like that!!!!!!
Nice work Shawn. Your a very calm fella when the kids are trying too push you around!
Sean & Hunter really stepped up. 👍🏼👍🏼 Great Job Y'all
You guys work with so many people I grew up around it’s crazy. I grew up working on hot rods with my grandpa who live right down the road from Chad. Then I watch this video and you guys bought this frame for the jeepster from my next door neighbor Lehi.
Just place the Jeepster body centered between the axles so there's plenty of tire to fender clearance for those bigger tires. Even better than a body lift! Might need to stretch the hood and fenders a little, but you've done that before. It's gonna look AWESOME!
Easiest way to measure wheelbase is from the edge of rim to the edge of the rim (as long as the rims are the same size!). Then your tape measure isn’t floating in the air while you try and eyeball the center.
Michelle, I think your Jeepster should be what YOU want. Nevermind what anybody else wants YOUR Jeep to be.
Absolutely love the look of the jeep, that she showed.
Great to see how your boys get involved with the shop work. Also i truly appreciate that you make not bought attitude for your buids. Keep on keeping on
Little trick to add to your tool bag of knowledge...if you heat bondo up with a heat gun...you can scrape it off easily with a steel putty knife. Give it a try...no dust to clean up...just big flakes of bondo from the putty knife.
Yes...Pic of Jeepster is awesome! Nice choice Michelle!!
the jeepester concept is Hadassah. yes most definitely yes
Michelle, concept photo is perfect.. Hope final build is what you want. Maybe a Robby Layton paint job?
The old Impact Driver, the motorcyclist's best friend!! WAY TO GO, Hunter driving the ArcDroid!!!! Sean is right, he's much more than a cameraman, give the boy a raise! So what's Robby Latron got that we ain't got, eh??
That fan page photo of the Jeepster was amazing - you definitely should model yours after that.
Ok, I am telling you about the look. I think the picture was saaaaawweeeet!!!!!!
The stance and even the colors were great and I am not a fan of gray. Michelle, that one was for you. You chose well young lady. So I want to see you pat yourself on the back, you did well.
The picture that is your goal for the Jeepster looks awesome!
Had all those issues with my vw bus. Body panels were swish cheese, floors were gone, tree messed up the roof. Keep the whole family ibn the videos. Pretty classy that way.👍👍
Can't wait to see the Jeepster done.
the wheels that are on this currently are what i want for my truck i love alcoas cant wait to see this thing get done keep up the hard work yall
It helps to measure from the existing sheet metal up the side say 3 inches and draw a line so you have a reference to the top of the new metal when you have to cut that much out. Also take measurements to the center lines of the floor supports and use some self tappers to position them to the new floor panel, then remove them to weld the floor in for easy positioning and welding. On long strait sections like along the door side. Weld long strips in and then trim the new metal back to your needed measurement of say the floor line. Hope this helps in some way. Great project.
Come on, guys, gotta show The Fab Rats some LOVE!!!

This video is exactly what I like about your channel - fabrication. Keep it up.
Now this is some content I've been waiting for, Michelle's Jeepster.
Thanks Guys
I owned a Jeepster about 15 years ago. It was set up as a plow truck and I had to put a clutch in it. I had so much fun with that old girl. Lol I wish the body didn't rot right off of it but that's what we have to deal with in northern Michigan.
Paul & Michelle you both are always I'm my Prayer's. As well as your entire family ❤
Lord, bless Paul and heal his body. Make him well to get his responsibilities taken care of! Amen
Something's going around, I've been sick for few days myself... Praying for complete healing for you Paul!
As you guys have taught us, Papa Darr says" beat it until it fits and paint it to match!"😁
I think the rendering that was sent to you is perfect! 💪👍🏼
Michelle, The jeepster idea looks great!
Give it the ol Tap tap taparoo.. love the old movie clips you throw in. RIP Carl Weathers
That is going to be super sweet when it gets done. It's a good fit for Michelle. ❤
Michelle’s “Jeepster” is going to “RoCk” I tip my hat to Paul, Shawn and Hunter 👍🏻💛
Love the look of that jeepster that y’all are aiming for it’s gonna look killer when it’s all done!
You guys should love that she wants the one in that picture. Then you don't need to keep the body lines around the fenders. Make's it really easy and quick to finish the back outside body work.
That's BadAss Michelle ❤. Take the Picture's of your Jeepster that are inside of your Head. And turn them into a Reality Michelle ❤. It's your Vision & you're Dream's Michelle.
