We Need To Address A Few Things...... 

Haters gonna hate. Ignore them.

Please remember the 99.99% of us really appreciate the videos. A bloopers real would be great once and a while. The simple practicality of your videos shows the perfect amount of how someone can repurpose good stuff. There's many vehicles that you have shared that so many of us would love to have. Keep doing what your doing and the people will follow!!

Paul and Michelle. In the past four years, I've had two heart attacks, cancer, my wife was injured with a brain injury, my mom passed and three weeks ago my oldest son was killed. I watch your videos religiously because you give me motivation to still handle my stuff "vehicle maintenance and projects", some days it's very tough to get motivated to get things done. Todays is actually one of them. My point here isn't "oh, I need sympathy", my point here is... what you guys do is amazing with the crew you have. It's also amazing that what you love actually supports who you love, it's friggin' amazing and I am so very happy for you guys. You lift my spirits when I'm down and watching you get things "DONE", motivates me to get things done. I'm sorry that there are simply people out there who are never happy and they love to complain because as the saying goes, "misery loves company". You guys are amazing, you have raised an amazing family and you seem to be good old, "salt of the earth" people. Keep up the good work and do your best to have a friggin' blast while doing it... sincerely, Thank you!!

Guys, your channel is much more than what you do in the shop. It’s about family, values, love and friendship. There are very few forums for that in today’s world unfortunately. Keep doing what you’re doing, your loyal fan base supports you.

No explanation needed. If they don’t like your content, don’t watch. I love watching y’all, every project, every person.

I’ve been in construction for 42 years. It seems that every other person I meet knows more about my job than I do. You just have to ignore those folks. This is my favorite channel. Don’t let ‘em get to you.

Don’t listen to the 0.1%. Do what you want. Do what you love. It’s your lives, it’s your channel. I watch 3 times a week regardless of content. You can never please all the people all the time. Enjoy your life and thanks for inviting me to share it with you!

PLEASE, dont change anything! this channel is perfect.

Don't forget the boat. What a cool project. Finished and delivered!

As a 60 year old widow from the other side of the world (New Zealand), I just want to say thank you for the pleasure you have given me over the last four years. Your channel arrived not long after the death of my husband of 35 years, and as I watch you create works of automotive art, I can hear his voice. He would have loved everything you do, and coveted a great many of your builds. This is the first time I have commented ever, which I guess is what a big part of the 99.9% do. Watch in awed silence.

I’m in the majority of people who watch and almost never comment, but just wanted to jump on and say, I love that 3 videos a week usually means 3 different projects updates, and its not always cars and trucks, sometimes its boats and buildings…. It’s life, and I’m a fan. Keep it up guys ❤

As someone who has personally met and filmed with Paul and Michelle, I can tell you they pour their heart and soul into this channel. Also, having seen their projects up close and personal, their quality is 10/10 which caused an immediate reaction of disbelief, as that quality doesn't come across over the camera.

Dude.... the folks saying it takes too long have never rebuilt anything. You're killing it. Keep it up!!!

Love love love all of you at Fab Rats. Let Grandma handle the haters💕

Don't change a THING yall! You are a true builder and REAL man who has a LOT of irons in the fire. We all have those projects we wished we finished first, but other crap gets in the way. Stay strong!

From what I can see, you guys are good people. This whole circle of friends (Matt's, Robby Layton, Merlin, Fab Rats, Chads FAb, etc are just good people and a joy to watch. I would love to meet yall one day.

I’m not complaining. You don’t need to explain to the 99.9% What you are doing. We just enjoy what you do and look forward to it every time. Thank you!

I love it: "With the rollback... It's my truck, it's going to work for what I want to do with it..." Good for you!!!

Who the heck would complain about any content on FabRats? I’m a casual follower and every thing I’ve seen is great!

From a South African who enjoys watching your channel, Matt's Towing and Recovery, Ron Pratt heavy towing and Pepes Towing, carry on doing what you guys are doing. Love to all.

We are thankful that you are willing to put your lives out there. Please don’t change. You are my kind of celebrities.

Guys don’t even waste time addressing the haters! The 99.9% of us love the content and love what you’re doing. Variety is the spice of life! What you have accomplished in 4 years is nothing short of amazing! Shop modifications and expansions, multiple custom vehicle builds, recoveries, a growing RU-vid channel with regular videos, hell you’re busy little beavers!! I know I couldn’t have done all that in 4 years. Don’t change a thing and don’t worry about the haters!

To many naysayers here. The Fab Rats Team is doing a great job! Haters gonna hate. If you don’t like the videos there’s a door don’t let it hit you on the way out! Keep up the great work Paul and crew!

You guys should NOT worry about pleasing everyone. There is no way that you can! Please continue to do what you do... everything else will fall into place. I love your videos... Paul, you are an amazing machinist and fabricator -- keep up the good work!

I want to say, I like the way you bounce from 1 project to another & throw in a couple rescues & events. Makes things more interesting in my opinion. I still watch them all. 👍

Michelle said it perfectly.... "We're going to work on what makes us happy".... Paul said... works on what he likes to work on.. I agree with michelle and paul 1000%.

I could not do what you do, so I love you two and never worry about it, I enjoy watching. I am 70 and had a heart attack in January so I just look forward to watching you guys, I do not comment alot but I do watch.

Guys, do what you do, I'll watch. Things happen, other projects happen. You, do you. And I will keep watching. Love watching.

You don't have to explain yourselves to anybody. The banter in the shop is hilarious and entertainment enough. Having the projects and recoveries are a bonus. Thank you for doing what you do.

I think sometimes people forget that this is not a repair shop it’s a creative shop and that has an artistic component to it l. Which means inspiration, appearance, combined with form and functionality for the very specific tasks you have in mind for the vehicles once they are completed. This is the very essence of fab rats and what drew me to the channel. The creativity, like your dad’s lumber mill, the wrecker, just built from a dream in your mind and parts you can find that function well and hold up to extreme loads. Keep being awesome!! ❤

No need to explain. You cannot please everyone. I truly enjoy your content, particularly when Paul gets an idea in his head and we slowly get to see it come to life.. he is not affraid to fabricate a part if he feels he can make it better

You do what you want to and we'll watch regardless. I'm 59yrs old. Started listening to Bob and Tom locally in Indy prior to their syndication when I was in highschool and I've never heard the term "but rock" but it makes sense.

Oh golly, please don’t worry about those who don’t see the big picture. Don’t change a thing, except, do what you want to do. I think the videos have been better as of late, I love it. Your family is awesome. Its great to see you raising your family with love and respect. What a wonderful adventure.

This is the first channel I ever subscribed to. I can no longer walk. My hands can't hold a wrench anymore. Truth be told I never could do most of what you do. I vicariously mechanic by watching you. Your family is good and decent and adds to my days. Thank you

I just love Paul's attitude and logic. I'm 76 now and still got projects going. Like you I never work on one at a time, they become boring and a chore that way so I do a bit on this and a bit on that and they all move forwards slowly. Keep doing what your doing the way that YOU want, we will still be here watching and enjoying every minute. The .01% have probably never achieved anything never mind finished something. Best Wishes from across The Pond.

My husband and I have enjoyed watching your channel for years. This is our first time commenting. We appreciate how you keep things real. Real projects with real people. We are super impressed with your fabrication skills and ALL of the vehicles you have built. Keep it up

You are my favorite on the internet! I’m a retired mechanic and really enjoy your videos! The love you have for each other makes you stronger! Keep up the great content by keeping it real like you do.

No one deserves an explanation. It’s your content and your channel. What I like the most about it is how it’s tight knit. Not filled with sponsors or shameless plugs. It’s just wholesome entertainment with close friends and family. Keep up the good work

I have absolutely no problem with the delivery and content of your videos. You give three videos a week. There are some channels that I like as well that are very well resourced and only give one a week. I feel very grateful and blessed. actually a lot of times Your videos give me a lot of Hope frankly. You are a blessing to my life. keep doing what you're doing. You can't please Everybody... everybody's got a different heart and a different angle and I appreciate that as well. Take it with a grain of salt and keep doing the great stuff you're doing. Thank you very much for your hard work.....PS... And now that I think of it, these negative spirits out there may not even be human.... Referring to bots..., just to destroy our JOY

I entirely get the having to move back and forth between projects. Makes perfect sense, never did bother me. You folks are doing just fine!

You don't owe anyone an explanation. I appreciate your content and teaching. Your content helps me with my repairs around the homestead. I appreciate you.

The most important thing is ; Be happy with what you're doing the way you're doing it, what anyone else thinks is not your problem ,having fun and meanwhile fixing stuff and fabricating is the main thing and not to forget the rescues , just keep up your good work and have fun

Don’t change anything about your videos…I enjoy all of the content.

Just concentrate on the 99.99% .. We love what y'all do or don't do!!! Doesn't matter to us!! We'll still watch y'all!! Love is the key!!

I just appreciate how real you all are. You are genuinely good, kind hard working, family loving people and it shows. I appreciate being invited into your lives and adventures. Thank you for being there and sharing your lives with us!

Hands down the greatest channel on RU-vid. I love how you teach your kids to work with their hands and have enjoyed watching Hunter grow over the years.

Keep doing things exactly the way you want to! No complaints here.

We absolutely love your mix of videos. From wheeling, to wrenching, to recovery, to normal life. Keep being Awesome!!

Paul, Michelle and the remaining FabRats. You don’t owe ANYONE any type of explanation, let alone the feeding the trolls. You keep doing what you enjoy and love! Much respect, yall are my favorite “RU-vidrs” -CK

I don't understand why people can't just enjoy the content for what it is. I just like seeing what you guys do!

Paul, I can’t tell you enough how much I like your show! I like that you don’t finish everything right away. I’m much like you, you can only work on a project so long and you are right sometimes, stepping away from a project can give new perspective on it and let you come up with new ideas on how to finish. Keep on keeping on, love your show!

You do what you do best. And those who love what you do, will love you the best. And that's all that's matters!!!

You guys are doing a GREAT JOB!!!! Keep it up.

Jealousy, ignorance, lack of sophistication, those are the elements that make up the .01% of the folks who criticize. In my career, I found that the more successful I became, the more criticism I got subjected to. That's how you know that you are doing things right! You guys are good people, and that is why your channel does so well. When you do what you like, there's at least a half-million people out here who like it too!

I think you guys are doing an awesome job. Just remember, there's always a bad apple in every bunch. You cannot please everybody. You can take 20 people out to dinner and you always have 2. That will not be happy. Even if it was a free dinner

No explanation needed. You get more done in a week than I do in a year in my garage. Love the content and you can never have too many projects.

FabRats is my favorite channel and I have ZERO complaints. Great Job

Glad to see your content. You'll get things done in good time.

You do what makes you happy the real ones will watch and support no matter what you guys do much love keep killing it.

I was a kid when I started watching yall, now I’m a whole grown man with a small family and everything I’ve learned from Paul’s parenting on camera has been applied to my own. I love yall, keep it up, no reason to give them the attention they so dearly seek. Yall are great

My wife and I began watching y'all back in 2022. Anytime I had a new video to watch she would sit next to me and watch because she was always amazed at how beautiful the area y'all live in is. We even planned to go visit the area but last month on the 15th she lost her 2 year battle to breast cancer. It doesn't matter what your content consists of because when I sit here and watch it I feel my wife next to me watching as well. You guys are freaking awesome in everything y'all do.

Paul ,and Family, I am an old timer been watching y'all since the beginning of your channel , you are the best family channel on RU-vid ,your dispositions and talent are beyond measure, your friends and family interaction are wonderful , thank all of you for letting us share your lives, May God Bless and keep you all,No complaints here, ❤🙏

Your videos, your lifestyle, your relationship with your Wife, and your willingness to put Family First always accomplished more than most do in a lifetime. Keep working, keep having fun, keep doing you! I promise we’ll watch. Best to you and your team. Keep up the good work!!

We are TERRIBLE at commenting, but my husband watches Fab Rats pretty regularly. He ended up running into Paul in Vernal at Maverick a few weeks ago...(He is a nearly 7ft tall giant😂). Anyway, I appreciate that the time he spends watching TV is spent on your show, watching how you fix vehicles, the shooting range one was fun, the what to do for fun places to visit. It's just nice to have something clean and wholesome...no foulness, its difficult to find anything like that these days. So...keep up your hard work, and we'll keep supporting your channel. And, as a side note, I am pretty grateful for the normalization of unfinished projects, or a job done right takes time...as my sewing room fits that description 😂.

I have worked with my wife in OUR business for 34 years and that said, I admire any husband and wife TEAM that is getting stuff done and enjoy working together!!!! I really enjoy watching the family atmosphere that you represent!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Never change who you guys are. I'm just glad to watch as you take us along the projects and life. Good people and good times make the world go round.

Don't change the way you produce your videos. working on different projects at the same time keeps your videos exciting and interesting, I do not always find the time to comment even thought I watch the videos. I some times watch them a week or so after they are released when my job as a local heavy haul trucker and road construction trucker hauling asphalt, maintenance gravel, and sand along with my family time will allow. I enjoy the videos. thank you for all the work and effort that goes into producing them,

Thank you for being you and letting us come along for the ride. I would say that most of us are the same, we jump from job to job depending on priorities and the availability of parts. Whether it is fixing a car or doing the lawn, cutting down a tree or helping the wife with something in the house. I enjoy the fact that you jump from project to project, there are channels that show a project from start to end and some of them in 2 to 3 hour videos, guess what i don't watch them. Please continue as you are as we enjoy the videos.

My husband & I met Grandma, Sean & Hunter on Monday. Truly the kindest people.

I did a remodel on my kitchen over a year ago. Spared no expense and yet I still haven't trimmed out 2 windows. You sir are not alone with unfinished projects. Edit: I'd love a whole Wed video of a tour of your boneyard and the stories of how you've collected everything

Been watching since the beginning of the channel. Stopping by back in 2022 while on a road trip from Maine was one of my favorite stops of the whole trip. You guys are real people who aren't any different in person than you are in the videos. Keep up what works for you!

keep the videos coming. Build what you want to build. I love all of your builds and content. The best part is that its just you doing what you do with no agenda or pandering to viewers.

The diversity of going back and forth on projects is what keeps this the best channel. You're always waiting for the next video to see what's next.

Most people realize you get more work done on accident than the whiny couch commanders do on purpose. Thanks for the time and effort in sharing your journey. Seeing you guys prosper, the new shop, the ability to go after adventure is a testament to the work you’ve put in to the channel. ❤

Whether your wheeling, wrenching, rescuing, or even wrecking, it's all good to me. Thanks Fab Rats!

I appreciate you addressing the complaining 1% to put them on notice. You are doing what you all can for yourselves and business. You do things the way you want creatively, carefully, and conscientiously. I like the "unfinished" look😊 Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives.❤

My father builds cars. He owned a shop. He now works at home. He has had cars in all the magazines. People beg him to work on their cars. In a good year he gets 2 cars done a year. This stuff takes time. I could only imagine trying to fix cars and put out a video. I have always been impressed with how fast you’re getting stuff done.

Most of us have ONE project we never get to finite to life, money, etc, you have finished dozens on film. THANK YOU 🙏

As an Ex-Mechanic myself I always have appreciated your channel, and especially the "family friendliness" about it, as well as your excellent fabrication skills.

I had commented saying i think the FJ would look great with a paint job but I know Paul likes his patina and doesn't want to paint something that will be scratched and I respect it. It's not my truck and i definitely was not upset about it not being painted. You guys do amazing work and a ton of it. From all the building to the video making. You have an amazing family, friends and team. I appreciate being able to watch your content and hope to continue to do so for a long time !

I’m shocked that people say you don’t get stuff done I’m impressed every time I watch your videos on how much you can get done. I work on my projects and they take forever to get done

❤❤❤ you guys get more finished than most people get done in their lifetime…. plus shop and yard work … ❤❤❤

You guys are awesome. The folks that complain about projects not getting done have never done anything themselves. You have explained it perfectly.

When talked about the car show, my wife and I looked at each other and said road-trip. We can’t wait to meet you in person. We’ve been watching for about 2 years, and we enjoy every video. Keep up the great work, and we need more grandma shenanigans.🙏🏻

And that’s life… We never work nonstop on tasks that take time without disruptions and distractions. Your mix of reality is understood and greatly appreciated.

Some people just don’t get how much work goes in to a build. Your team dose a great job pumping out content for like minded people to enjoy especially if the viewers have a family. Finding something I can watch with my family that share my values means s ton. Thanks you guys rock!

I've been a business owner in a small town in Kansas for well over 20 years, and one thing I know, people will complain no matter what you do. Reminds me of a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Don't listen to them! You guys are great, I had the pleasure of meeting Paul and you are about as genuine as they come. I appreciate the way you share your ideas and then go to the shop and start building, you figure it out along the way... That's pretty much how I've run my business. I love the way you get your family involved in the shop, great life lessons! I'm telling you... you guys are doing it right don't ever dought it!!

Forget the naysayers. I'm not a wrench, let alone a fabricator. I watch because I like the content. Everyday folks doing everyday stuff. Good stuff. I obtained a VW bus during covid and it ain't finished yet but it has made my journey better. Nothing to brag about but it is fun. Keep truckin y'all.

Hi guys, I don't comment much, but I want to add my 2 cents worth. I don't watch to see you complete something, nor do I watch to learn auto machanics 😅. I watch it because your show is entertaining. Your love for your craft and each other is endlessly amusing and fun, and there are so few things in today's busy, noisy world that are amusing and fun. Keep it up!

I don’t care if you guys never finish anything I just enjoy watching the welding and fabrication. You guys are great. I love to watch you guys mess around with Grandma. She is great!

Don't worry about the negative people. I've been wrenching for ever and I love what you do. You get far more done than what 99.9% of us get done and I'll bet you are having more fun. Love what you do

You all are doing great. What makes Fab Rats so special to me is, you are all authentic and doing what you love to do. Keep it up. We are all cheering for you to enjoy life and share a little bit of it with us.

Paul, I've had parts for a 82" CJ that I drove as a teen in 91'. I had plans of v8, lift, tires and all that. I was okay, learning from my father on keeping it running with what it had. I had a fear of how the heck am I going to weld anything, when I knew nobody who could show me how or the equipment to do so. Flash forward to 2020 and I started watching you religiously when working on Dar's Jeep. Your videos helped me tackle the doubt and fears of welding. I bought a decent mig and got to practicing. My dad passed in Feb 2021 and he was the one that taught me how to keep that old jeep running. There were many bonding moments around that Jeep. I felt pretty lost of course, but then found solace in the garage. I tore down that CJ going through and upgrading as well as replacing worn parts, rebuilt T-case. Repaired cracked frame, performed spring-over, and other teenage dreams I had for it. So, I have yet to finish my CJ completely, but I have been on the trails testing. So ignore the negative. I have yet finished mine all these years, so your list of finished items is crazy to me. Grateful for you, your family and peeps there.

Those guys have never had a shop and never built anything anything. Don't change what your doing. You build like a common man and it inspiring and help me finish my own projects.

Want to say thank you. You inspired my son to ask me to start building our own trucks in our shop together. You were the main inspiration for us to start trying to build our own hot rods. So, thank you. Shane and Tim Freese.

As long as you get things done, I love the banter in the shop and the seriousness that you and the crew have when doing recoveries. I know how it is when working shorthanded. As far as stopping on things, I think it is great to step back and refocuss.

Best part of your channel is its just like our projects/farm and 100% better entertainment than any TV show or movie. Never got in to any TV series but rarely miss one of your videos. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESS.

Thank you for the Tools & Trails sticker on your toolbox. The man that gave you that sticker when he stopped at your place was my nephew. We went to his funeral in Anthem AZ on Monday. Lost the battle with brain cancer. Keep up the good work.

Michelle, you are wonderful. Thank you both of you for addressing those comments.

Be yourself unapologetically! I look forward to your projects and your family every week, you do you and I'll continue to enjoy it 😊
