People watch too much TV and think these projects get done in a few half hour episodes. The truth is, many builds take years to complete. Then, when you think you are done, it’s time to upgrade or fix what you have broken. The viewers here, who work on their own vehicles know what kind of time is involved in all of these projects. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Love seeing the FJ actually driving! Find it funny people are saying it's taking too long, but hopefully it is not a genuine complaint. I can relate to feeling impatient, because I came here from Matt's channel. After binge watching the Morvarr build in a few hours, this build feels like it's taking forever... but only because we're actually along for the ride, instead of watching after it's all done. I think this is ridiculously fast, given that Paul's doing this part time, and alone not a crew of 3-4 other people! Love the can-do attitude also! You've helped my in a lot of home renovation/repairs recently. When things go "wrong" I find myself saying, gonna have to handle it. Then shortly "we're winnin!"

I'm not saying you don't know how to do it, but this is what I learned. When you chuck the drill bit tight, then back it off until the chuck clicks, then it is locked in. Keep on "Getting After It".

Chances are those complaining about time on Nugget have little mechanical experience, when little things can take hours on a factory built, let alone a custom build. You are doing Wonders Paul, Get some Rest ! Glad Randal is there just in case something slips, etc. not alone !

YES! Seeing the mistakes, good attitude, and solutions has changed my outlook and motivation over the last few months. I do a lot of creative things, but was always leaning toward the attitude of "It's never easy, is it?" Now my go-to attitude is "Let's get her handled" and "We're winnin!" Not surprisingly, I"m getting more done faster and probably with better quality!

Michelle. I fully agree with you. From what I gather from yours and Matt's video's. Ed only wants the engine running. But no, you guys are taking care of Ed. He is a great guy, again, from what I see on the videos. I know a few have donated cash or parts to help out. But, Paul is basically doing this for no pay. Free work, parts labor. LOL That does not come cheap. Also it does not get put on the front burner to be done over night. In my opinion, you are on a great schedule and doing great as always. With Ed not being on line is a great thing. You can always blame the time it is taking on The Rona. Ones not involved have no right to say anything about it. The way I look at it on this subject. If you ain't signing my pay check, then you have no say in the matter of how business is done. So don't worry about what they say. Besides, it is your channel and project. Run it how you want to. I understand trying to make people happy. There is no way to do that for everyone. You could be doing it line by line from the book. Someone will complain, because it is not from the book they read. You guys are 100% AWESOME, keep it up.

I’m not sure I could get it out of park without Paul telling/showing me how. GREAT job BTW! Hope you kill it at the jamboree.

Greydon saved the day and then took a nap in the Yota😆. Michelle comments like you was talking about is why I haven’t said anything in the last few videos. There is always someone that’s got to be rude. Paul is doing a great job on the Golden Nugget while juggling a hundred other projects that has to be done. Great Job FabRats thanks for the video God Bless

The Nugget is being built at warp speed in my opinion considering it had to be custom built from the ground up and was a disaster to begin with. The Nugget will be better, stronger, faster, more capable than it ever was in its existence. Great work Paul.. So sweet of Michelle to stand by her man too… You guys are an awesome couple.

First thing I got to say about the FJ thanks to Grader for thinking about that brown truck with the good transmission. That FJ might still be sitting in the shop Grader is the greatest and Paul it's nice to see that you finally got that FJ on the road it's not 100% complete and when I say that I mean the paint and body work and all that but it's good to see that thing going. Now we need to see the Golden Nugget going but I'm sure you'll get on that as soon as you get rid of the FJ or when you get done with the FJ happy for you my friend that Fabrat black hoodie looks mighty spiffy I wish I can afford one but I'm on disability right now so I got to watch my p's and q's. Loving all your videos Man you keep doing what you're doing it takes time to get some of these builds done and yes as a viewer I get antsy and I want to see everything done yesterday but it's not that easy so just do what you got to do man you're doing a good job at everything but remember what I said Grader is the greatest. Kudos to Grader woohoo👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the intro... I 'think' I appreciate all the work Paul does... I cannot imagine, literally, building things from scratch and without a blueprint... his work is incredible, as is yours Michelle with the video editing and all the other family support you provide for Paul so he can pursue his passion for creating better machines... I have also loved seeing Paul patiently mentor the kids, it pays off when they can provide a solution to a broken transmission on the FJ... and yes I am anxiously awaiting to see the saga of the Golden Nugget, what an incredible gift the whole team is preparing for Ed, in the meantime I have enjoyed going back to catch up on the work on the Unicorn and your Jeep too Michele... It is obvious Paul has already sacrificed a great deal on his own personal project to get the Nugget to its current state, a sacrifice that has put a big stress on him to meet his personal deadline with the FJ... all these projects shows Paul's artistry, his creative nature with big noisy tools... what a unit... a welder, compressed air to fix flats etc... totally self sufficient and ready to rescue others in distress too... Awesome

Most people don't realize that working on any vehicle always boils down to "labor hours" not days, weeks or months. If y'all had 10 people working at your shop each putting in 10 hour days, that's 100 labor hours a day knocking s**t out. All our favorite TV build shows do this and that's how those projects get completed so much faster. Awesome job you guys! 👍
