I’ve really enjoy watching your family work together. My family moved to Colorado 4 years ago to start a church. My mom and brothers live 1200 miles away from us. I miss hunting with my little brother and I miss taking my 65 mustang (with I had to sell to move to Colorado) to car shows with my older brother (who has a 64 1/2 mustang). I miss mom’s Sunday lunches and just seeing them. Your channel reminds me of home- Don’t change!

have you thought of stiffening the frame using a tube frame design from existing chassis to rock sliders? by triangulating the dead space outside the rails you get strength but dont interfere with motor and gearbox space. it could also be a protective cage for air tanks or emergency fuel/ water.

Dads and sons, eating stuff . As a teenager I came home late on night hungry, so I cooked and fixed a delicious hamburger. As it was cooling and I was washing the dishes my dad came in from work. Looks at my burger and stated “that is just what I wanted” and sat down and began eating. I had to cook another one for me. Life of a working man.

Hey Paul. You inspired me to buy my first welder. As I’m on a budget it’s the cheapest one Amazon sells, does mig tig and stick. My father has a mig and stick but neither of us have wanted to spend the money on a Miller tig, but I figured for a $200 welder, what have I got to lose? If I’m actually good at it by the time the thing breaks, I’ll buy a real one. Keep making the awesome projects
