Watching this as you and Ben were grinding/cleaning up the new front end and I thought, "wow, your dad would be really proud of this moment." You and your brother working together and growing your already successful business and being able to spend time with your brother, and more with your family because of the people you've brought on to help. Big shout out to Randall and Ben, but also Michelle and the rest of your family Paul.

@jessemontoya2542 2 года назад

The joys of burnouts. I had a 57 chevy truck years ago and I fell on some hard times so she had to go. I took it out for one last cruise and when I got home I pulled up in my driveway, parked and just sat there with the door open listening to it idle knowing it wouldn't be there the next day. So what did I do.............. "MASSIVE BURNOUT." I hammered down and let her eat. My wife came running out of the house with a "WTF" are you doing face and I just sat there all smiles, engine screaming as the smoke cloud totally engulfed the truck. It was a bitter sweet moment but worth it. Years later I still have a crater and melted rubber in my driveway as a reminder. 😊 Bring on the burnouts!!!! keep up the great work guys. You all are amazing.

@walterwinder5477 2 года назад

Paul and Michelle Thanks so much for your videos, especially when you drive out into the surrounding area. My Grandfather was John Winder who owned the Clear Creek Ranch which borders the east rim of Zion Park, in fact he built the East Rim Trail which used to be called John's Back Door. As a child my Dad told us for hours about the beauty of the Park but most of all he loved the ranch and the Mount Carmel Glendale area. Dad moved to Central Nevada in the 30s and built our family here in Fallon Nevada. But I love the mountains around eastern Zion and watching your off roading around the area is a special treat. It's wonderful the way you express your family values and the great blessing of teaching your children by being able to work learn and grow by working with a good man like Paul. Well this is probably getting a little long I've never done this before, please keep up the great videos and rides into the mountains around the park are great .

@williamlulay7982 2 года назад

Paul, I am always amazed at your knowledge and skill - your tips about being careful welding evenly around axle housings, and even beefing up the welds at the pumpkin will be useful to those doing welding. On the other hand, I am equally amazed at some of your antics, such as "burnouts" - I could never understand how burning off probably several hundred miles of tread on a tire was cool, not to mention you're doing it in an enclosed environment - you know all that black soot all over the shop and on your hands? It's in your lungs, too. If you're going to do stupid things like "burnouts," do them outdoors or in a well ventilated area, and don't breath in the "smoke," which is actually rubber soot. You're making good progress on the Rat Rod, and, again, your knowledge of the shortcomings of the one ton brakes as opposed to the half ton brakes is remarkable.

In the vicinity of civilization, look to places that are going out of business. You can also get them refurbished from the material handler companies like Clark, Shyster, Yale, etc. If you find a good sales person, they might be able to track down the best option for your needs from someplace else in the continental US.
