The most amazing thing about this video is the machining of the studs from an extra large anodized bolt!
Solid job on the edit Michelle! You do much, but are mostly behind the scenes. Thank you.
Cool watching brothers work together....not all brothers work well together but when they do there is a special artistry that comes about
Paul & Ben working together on grandpa Sherm's tow truck hit home my brother & I just finnished restoration on our Dad's 1980 K5 Blazer he passed away last year both of us learned offroad in Dad's old rig's we also have a 67' C10 & 69' K5 these will never leave our family their's something about keeping Dad's trucks that's just the way it is, love you guy's keep up the good energy on your channel God bless someday I'll come visit you with a cool chevy ❤😉👍
I love that Paul’s hair comes and goes so easily through the magic of editing. (Probably the 90th time that’s been mentioned)
I’m handicapped with several disabilities. Man I wish I visit there! You all have such beautiful blue skies!!
Feel Blessed that you live there in “God’s Country”!!
Just LOVE Merlin’s truck! ❤️ Your stuff is going well Paul, keep up the great job 👏! Your Bride is awesome too!
I liked how you tapped threads on the studs most people use the dies.
More hi-jinks in the shop, made to look a lot less silly by Michelle's brilliant editing!
Always cool to see Merlins rigs.
Wrecker is coming right along and looking pretty good!! I'll bet Landon is happy he's got his engine back. He'll soon be getting fun per gallon in his own ride!! LOL!!
Paul, your mechanical diversity skills are amazing. Don’t let it go to your head now 😀
Boom looks righteous. I think Grandpa Sherm would approve.
Soo excited I cannot wait to see grandpa sherms tow truck back in action and take 1st place in the tow trurck Olympics. Paul needs the big belt buckle
Paul, thanks for wearing eye and ear protection. We love you the way you are!
The Tow Truck is going to be sweet, that Flat Bed is a very nice Rig, I’ll catch you on the next one. Keep It Safe Out There Fella’s
Lots of progress on the tow truck. I was admiring "white lighting " up on the lift in the background 😍
Every time we see the tow truck there is a lot of progress, you guys (brothers) work great together!!!
Trucks looking good guys , merlins nice for setting landon up with that motor , finally get to see his truck up and running i love that truck , looks cool
Matt says there going to win the Olympics time for you all to step up your game. I hope you all win!
Man I love tow truck updates!! Looks very nice, and capable.
I really love the big yellow wrecker.
Michael I totally love the music you select for the videos, lol great job
Sherm’s Tank 😉😎
Speaking of Florida,... I live 4 miles from downtown St. Augustine. I'm in Palatka frequently. I'll be at Putam County Speedway this coming weekend as well. Just wanted to say that your channel is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoyed visiting this area. I would like to have met you and your family and been able tell you personally how much I admire the family aspect of your channel and others from that area like Matt and his crew/family. On the topic of family,... Ben and the occasional glimpse of his family, only add to the great content of your channel. Ben has a great on camera personality I have a brother that turned his back on myself and our family over 30 years ago and moved away. We don't even know if he's alive. You folks are doing it right. God bless you all and thanks again.
Love Merlin's t-shirt! Back in '69 when I started with my first shrimp boat I was getting diesel delivered to my boat for 12.8 cents per gallon. They furnished the barrels and a handpump at no extra cost. What the hell has happened to this world??
And I was thinking 89.9 cents, as it was when I got my truck in '97.
Paul I didn't know this was your dad's truck until I went back and started to watch this hole build. I'm sorry for your loss, I bet he was an awesome guy to be around. I think that it is awesome that you are building this awesome tow truck with his truck. Keep up the great work sir.
BIG FAN OF THE "PTO" GRAPHIC!!!! MORE PLEASE
Priceless. You and Ben Snackin. Thanks for the laughs. I needed it.
My Dad's Persuader was a four pound sledge hammer, and if he was feeling generous, a scrap of pressure treated 2x4 to absorb the blow. My Pursueder is a Harbor Freight lifetime warrantee breaker bar with a full roll of electric tape on its handle and a length of iron pipe.
bottom you jacket before welding,love you guys. great work
Good morning guy's love watching and listening! IT is so nice that you can alot of your part!
Paul and Gentle Ben do great work
Tow truck is going to be a beast nice 👍
enjoying watching this build along as matts and seeing the different approch yopu both take to your builds.
When you finish on the rat rod tow truck, please think about a start to finish vid. for the tow truck, Yoda, and the tilt bed, you are planning on!
Looking good!👍
Thanks to you and your family
Pops would be proud forsure!
Love to watch your FAB Skills! That's why I watch your channel - Keep up the Good Work!
Ok guys we need longer video's. I could hang out with you two all day long.
Paul and Ben do a great job as a team. One works on one thing and the other is doing something else. They work together when a problem show's it's ugly head and brain storm to resolve the issue. The tow truck is moving forward and should perform admirably when used. I'm a little concerned about the single tire's on the rear since most tow trucks have duals there. Rory has duals on both his tow trucks and they work well. We'll see! Doing great guys!
I believe that's a dually too, just that the outer tires are off it at the moment.
That tow build is looking great 👌
I noticed the trim piece was missing below the rear window, what a great place for a replacement panel that says " Grandpa Sherm's Rat Rod Tow "
Love watch what you are doing vs what Matt is doing on his wrecker having run a wrecker I like that you are running with Hydraulic boom and whinches as you can feather them better than electric on off looking good
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Another great video ya'll!! You guys amaze me with ya'lls fabrication skills and Paul you Makin them bolts beautiful job, wrecker lookin good. Couldn't help but admiring that beautiful coronet on the lift. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls family.
Cant believe you air chucked the wife lady out of the shop lol. Thank you for your time.
I love the tow truck builds. Even better then the golden nugget. Any content is good content on this build. Appreciate your videos!
Michelle word on the street is there will be a fancy belt buckle for a trophy for tow truck comp.
I like Merlin’s truck that is sharp,your tow truck is coming together ,when you build your rollback an it has a cab like Merlin’s truck that’s going to have my attention 👍👍
I can't wait for y'all to come to South Carolina with my new car!!
I love watching your projects. Never know what is coming next. Keep up the wrecker.
Your lathe, looks a lot like my 1934 South Bend. Mine is still line shaft driven. I have cut threads on mine before, but it's a real PITA without a half nut indicator. I just leave the half nut locked in and reverse it for the next pass.
I also have a "mill vise" attachment that goes in place of the compound, so I have a horizontal mill if I want ;)
You had me right up to that damned reptile without legs!!!
It’s not a complete episode without Michelle and or the kids The rat pack! Great family channel! family that workers together stays together and it’s the teamwork that makes the dream work (I leave anything out?)
Matt has a whole team. Robby has a team. Rory has a team. Paul has brother Ben. Classic underdog, git'er done guys!
I was going to pop off with a smart aleck comment. But I can’t get my mind off that Cummins flatbed. I like it.
6:30 you captured the essence of fabrication right there. brains are flyin, ideas are coming together and thats when you start to get excited ! thats what fabricating is all about
You guys work so well together!
I Love Those PopCorners !
I was tryn to think of a crazy comment but im too busy laughing haha Good show guys!!!! Thank you!!!
I Just Love Your "Red Neck" Fab job! Keep up the good work "Safety First"! My Boss came up with that saying for are Complete back in the 1990's for a safety contest.
Solid channel! A little success and they don't go out and buy a Lamborghini or gwagon. They just find more old stuff to bring back to life and improve! Create more work and sweat for themselves as they live the real dream of building awesome vehicles that are far from factory spec. I love it!
Great progress
The term “tapping a thread” is for an “internal thread”, as you will be using “taps” to cut the thread.
Your tow truck build is an interesting one to watch, keen to see the finished job. 😊👍👍
Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
O yeah M&Ms with peanuts 🥜.. O I can’t wait for School to start back here too 👌
It will be interesting to see what kind of a rear end gear congratulations your going to do on the tow truck that will be where the strength needs to be among other places great job Paul and Ben.
with those two winches and that hydraulic boom it looks better than the one matt is doing
Getting things done ✅
When Matt wins he is having a TOW TRUCK CHAMPIONSHIP belt buckle :D
On your rollback, make it an extra cab.
Added cool factor and who couldn't use the extra room.
You'll be happy you did.
The tow truck is looking great!!! Merlin should be invited to the tow Olympics! He’s got a sweet tow rig too! 🤙🏼
Tell Matt!
He is in charge of the Olympics.
Waste of time to put this comment on everyone else's channel when Matt makes the call.
It looks so cool with that boom, I do hope you paint it though.
Amazing to see your skills fabricating those studs... Nice haircut at about 2:35 is fully grown back by 5:25 🙂 🙂
awesome you will be driving it soon
You guys need to invite Merlin to bring his off-road wrecker to the off-road wrecker Olympics. It would be fun to see.
Use a hack saw for a cut off tool on the lathe! Works awesome, especially if you machine a guide for the blade to start with
Impressive how fast Paul's hair grows! 🤣 Enjoying the builds!
Can't wait to it run..
Looking good big guy ! I cleared a spot for my Coronet here in Florida and also rigged a couple poles for you to fish when you deliver it. 😉😉
Can't argue with Merlin's shirt.
Looking good boys 👍👍👍
Good job Ben. Test out the drill bits. They should make unbreakable bits. Dang weak crap.
Airbags on rear..... Hey I have run into problem when axle droop happens the airbags get ripped apart at the end caps. Especially double convoluted bags. Triples are better but still not much travel. So we ended up putting them on a cantilever setup with a pivot at frame and bag in the middle of the bar and the other end of the bar on a pivot and link to the axle. Hard to explain but google high travel airbag setup and you will see what fellas are doing. Nice job on the wrecker! I like this one and Matt's. Tough to choose!
Nice work guys
The neighbor's cat stops by to see what I'm doing in my garage and I have to use the air hose to shoo him away when I want to close the garage door and go inside. I was laughing when you broke out the air.
Good job for a couple of days.
Looks tough enough to do some real nice work
Better built than bought!
Paul as soon as u said mnt dew, a mnt dew commercial came on😂
Paul you need an magnet drill with cord drills
Oh no Paul it looks like Matt’s off-road recovery is now winning and will be done before you. Keep up the great videos and showing the fun you have along the way
Paul should try out the pineapple, orange, mango, and baja blast Dews. The pineapple is my new go to..short time product though. taste is amazing
Great video and great job with the truck and God bless stay safe from GA
Didn’t know the Grandpa Sherm but from the few times I saw him on the channel you can tell y’all are definitely his boys.
I would love to see you fix that old lady and get your feed working properly I haven't looked at the machine but it's probably a broken roll pin or excuse me taper pin most of these older machines have taper pins
I want to see a competion with trail Mater and Matt wreckers.
Rotation on pump may not be right because of the countershaft Rotation from it being on the left, was on right, might be able to run in reverse or take pump apart and reverse the vane.
Out of interest is your spray insulation flameproof ? my friends shed had that and went on fire, 15 cars all torched including my rally car. The insulation took and engulfed the whole building
A quick google search led me to believe that almost all insulation is flammable. It can be treated.. good to know. But dads shop has been spray insulated for about 10 years !
Might be wise to cover the walls with something that’s non-flammable. Welding and grinding and all….
It has a “Class 1” fire rating. Suppose to resist flame for an hour, but yeah, it’s flammable.
@@KJ-kw7gh ah I didn’t realise that ! An hour that’s mad. live and learn unfortunately. Life goes on
@@bobsummers7232 would’ve been ! the buildings totally destroyed now but maybe something Paul may have in the works ?
