Wiring Ed's LJ20, the Golden Nugget, at Fab Rats 

Wow. Ed was just hoping for a new wood door.

"The worst thing that can happen is that you learn." No truer words of wisdom. Through their tinkering, they're learning life skills Love it!

Thanks for showing “hole in a hole”. When you fired it up I was saying “how the….”

I loved watching the kids 'working' in the shop with dads.

Thanks Chad. "Remember always try to be the solution". I like that so much I'm going to steal it.😁

You are a master craftsman at wiring! Great job! Like the rest of the world, I can hardly wait to see Eds reaction. Much love and respect to you and yours. God bless

You really did a tremendous job on this wiring job. You basically started with nothing and wired the whole vehicle. All of my words could not possibly describe the great job that you guys did on this nugget. Your contribution to this is awesome. Along with everyone else who did their part on this. It has really been a tremendous effort. Thank you 👍👍👍❤️

Huge props and respect to anyone that can tackle a wiring job like that of any kind!

Your channel should be blown up. Just enjoy watching the skill and knowledge you bring to any job.

Anything with more than three wires I leave alone. Would get me in real deep trouble. Chad, more power to you for doing the wireing jobs that you do. Paul and Matt lucky to have you helping them.

As always, how refreshing to watch not only “family friendly” content, but “family inclusive” content. I can’t tell you how much we enjoy these videos. From a dad in Wisconsin to dads in Utah, good job men!

Nice work Chad. The Gold nugget is coming together and that wiring looks factory.

The overall attention to detail on this project is amazing

Absolutely amazing work!!! The amount of time consuming, tedious, technical work that this conglomerate of channels has poured into this project is mind boggling. All of these different families coming together and doing this for Ed restores my faith in humanity. Y'all are just incredible!

Wow! I had no idea what I was in for when I watched this beat up suzuki dragged out of the woods and through the river so many months ago. I've loved watching it go from family to family. It is beautiful to see the father-family collaborations! Looking forward to seeing Ed get it back, but I'll be a bit sad that the adventure will be over.

Great work Chad. Grayden angling for the shot, classic.

I have total respect for what you do. I could probably handle wiring a Model T or A, but that's about it.

Chad, you are so good at what you do on any vehicle you work on...most people who are automotive enthusiasts would not be able to do what you do as well as you do it when it comes to wiring up harnesses, accessories, sensors, relays, computers, ignitions and so on. We love how much attention to detail, routing and being meticulous you are in your work, quality matters. Thanks for the video, well done, again.

YESSSS...!!!! I just heard that young man say the majic words...!!!! VROOM VROOM... Brings happiness to my heart, a big smile on my face and music to my ears...!!!!! HAPPY VROOM VROOM EVERYONE...!!!!!!

That alloy ex-Buick V8 made its way to Australia in the 70s and powered the famous Leyland P76 sedan. Some buys bored them out to 4.4 litres, and a lot of guys used them in open-wheeler race cars, heaps of power and low weight. Everything about the Gold Nugget Project has been amazing, but I am truly in awe of anyone who can decipher the rat's nest that is car wiring.....

Good job documenting this journey. It's definitely a team job with all the right people. Looks like the lens is dirty though. Thanks!

wiring is a dark,mysterious art....you are all wizards awesome job

I built part of the wiring harness on a corporate jet that was being upgraded. We had to use heatshrunk numerical labels on every conductor at 12" intervals to keep track of what went where. May have taken more thought than any other job that I ever did, even though I was following a schematic and was hired for my soldering skills.

That's a smart young man. He looked at that wiring harness and said that's not simple. And he is so right when wiring can be a nightmare.

Not sure how many cousins and brothers that Paul has. So many of them (and their families) are practical and very talented in their own fabrication skills. Great job Chad and family.

Your expertise in wiring is amazing to me and many I’m sure!!! It’s a big jigsaw puzzle you make look easy!! You da man Chad

"Remember to always be the Solution." What a legend. Subscribed for life.

Forget the original recovery, the strip down, rebuild, new engine, trans, axles, panel work and paint, (All nightmares) THIS 'Wiring' is the most challenging IMHO. My head hurts watching this. Great job guys! Teamwork Yay!!

The Buick 215 was even chopped down to a V6 and used in the Metro 6R4 which was the only naturally aspirated Group B rally car. There are still a few of those running around running specialist rallies. They made 450 bhp out of the V6 naturally aspirated, so the V8 should be able to do at least that much. There are 800 hp twin turbo versions of the V6. I would aim a lot lower than that for longer life, but they are a cool engine.

It sure does resemble a cluster. For a while I traveled a lot and did a lot large industrial type machine moves. Well I just unwired and rewired them in the next location. You all do good work Chad and son's.

Your the chief wizard Chad,like the cook in the Navy, nobody mess'es with the electrical wizard!Hello Paul, this project has really taken on a life of its own!

When I worked for Rockwell International, a technician hooked a high pressure air line to a gyroscope that normally only received a small burst of pressurized air. Luckily no one was hurt when the gyro blew up. Only issue was he did it in the clean room where the gyro assemblies were assembled.

Chad you and your son's and don't forget Stacie the boss have done an awesome job unveiling the unraveling of this major wiring job on Nugget. For such a small vehicle you had a lot of work sorting through the wire runs to see exactly what you would need in making all the electrical wiring work correctly for the Nugget. The Chevy truck your oldest son drove is beautiful! Love it ♥️ so nice having the family down being a part of this special build! Good job and we look forward to your return next weekend!

The world’s most expensive Suzuki just got more expensive… really great work.

I feel like I'm seeing the behind the scenes to the behind the scenes to the behind the scenes of the Golden Nugget story!

Great work Chad!! Can’t wait to see the Ed’s reaction to the Nugget!!

I love seeing all of the families together. You guys are all doing great. Keep it up!

"Remember to always try to be the solution" Wise words I hope to live by as im starting my electrician apprenticeship soon. Great work.

Holy Moly!! Just a valiant effort put forth by Father & Son to get Ed's Suzuki wired up and running. Crazy, intricate details to do. Well done, fella's!!

Good stuff Chad! They are lucky to have you, wiring is so frustrating lol!

I’m impressed at your kids knowledge and work ethic, great job mom and dad, and happy Father’s Day

You blew my mind drilling that larger hole...

Love the video, thank you for covering the wiring! Everyone always skips over it because it isn't glamorous, but it's what makes everything come to fruition!

First class! Your boys are pretty handy in the shop, good job in the guidance department Chad!

Really nice work, Chad. I especially liked seeing your sons working alongside you. It takes a village to build a nugget, and it wouldn't run without your contribution. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 👍

It's great to see the Fathers and sons working together on Father's Day. Happy Fathers Day and a big thank you to all the Fathers who are stepping up and making our future look bright by raising young men and women to be good people.

Hats off to the electrician.!!! That stuff is magical.

people that can do this stuff always blow my mind. i cant wrap my mind around so many wires

Chad & Kean 🤜💥🤛 Amazing skills.. .. All of you folks from Moor's, Fabrat's, Layton's, Beard's, Chad's.. transforming Ed's long lost 💩 into a modern functional vehicle is wow.. homerun way outta the park.

Love the hole saw trick... Welcome to the nugget project.

Suppose it's a testament to the honesty of the folks in Paul's area or loudness of his dogs that he can broadcast valuable items laying around his property and they stay there.

Hey Chad, Greetings from Wisconsin. I grew up in Lehi, class of '84. Who knows... maybe we bumped into each other out cruising in the day... Parker's drive-in, Steel Days carnival, 7-Eleven next to Coral theater, all the old places. Congrats on your RU-vid channel and your automotive accomplishments!

Chad the wizard!!! Don’t know how you guys stay so cool!!! Glad to see you passing down the knowledge. Keep up the awesome work

Just can't wait to see and hear Ed when you all finally reveal the little nugget to him. And I hope he does sit down and Binge watch the whole thing...👍😁👍

Hello Chad and crew, I got your link from watching the golden nugget rebuild from fab rats. Wiring is the key modification when it comes to custom builds. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep doing what you do. 👍

You mentioned the cost of fuel in the USA at $5 per gallon, the cost of fuel in England 🇬🇧. has gone to an all-time high, I run a Dodge Nitro big engine, which cost today £12 per gallon on the highway, and is set to go higher. The government needs to change, great channel 🇬🇧👍

Amazing job Chad! I especially like your last comment. "Be the solution!" Ed must be an amazing person for so many people to work so hard to make his day.

The detail crew! Great job wrapping all that important stuff up!

Happy Father's Day Y'all! Chad, I wish we lived closer so I could have ya wire up our '65 C10 I'm restoring..

This is like watching paint but it’s been painted by a genius. You are so good man and the guys around you , Paul, Matt,Robby and so many more , we all wish we were with you .

Apropos of nothing, but... I never really thought utahns had their own specific accent, but watching enough videos from Matt, Paul, Robbie and anybody related to this project y'all sure do! It is so fun to have a front-row view of this whole project from so many different directions. Can't wait to see it finished!

Chad the man!!!

This part of the project is absolutely amazing and impressive to watch. No disrespect to the painters or fabricators but wires are alien to me.

Just watched Ed's Golden Nugget reveal on Matt's Off Road Recovery channel. Thank you Chad for all your hard work on that project!! I wish you were closer when I need help with wiring!

You guy's are the best in the west! Always love watching! The nuggets will be perfect!

Hey Chad & ALL the Crews !! Great job on getting ""ED'S"" Goldie to the finish line !!🙃😉😵 Have a good week & Thanks for the videos !! 👍👍👍👍👍

Electrical is left for the professional’s, you are the king.

My former late father in law used to go to the dump (he called it the shopping center) with a load of trash and bring back a half load. Always on the look out for something to repair and reuse. The way things used to be!

Chad the wiring guru. Glad you called in your calvary. You taught your boy good hes your junior wiring guru. So much better 4 hands alot better then 2 get so much done faster. Its nice Paul has Ben. So many hands have helped on Eds golden nugget. Its awesome Chad made it a family time. I enjoy your videos alot everything is expand to a T. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL

Chad, I’m a master electrician and an electrical engineer, and my hats off to you! Great job, and you didn’t yell!!!

Man, that Grayden sure gets around. Professional camera operator in action! Seriously though, great work Chad, glad to see you workin' on the Nugget with the team.

You and your sons we're the guys for this job!

Yee.... Haw.... Thanks for keeping us all grounded, Haha 😄

Hey what a cool and genuine outtro that's great advice. Stella effort from all of you I'll be honest and say I havent watched a lot of your vids but will go back through them and have a gander other than the obvious ones with the fj and now the nugget. Love your dedication to your task and the fact your clearly handing down the knowledge good show sir 👍🇦🇺

THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU! I COULD NEVER DO THAT OR WANT TO! NICE JOB!!!!

One thing I love about all of your channels is that you all love junk food and are not afraid to admit it! Good food/snacks often results in extra volunteers to help work on projects.

Thanks for sharing! Cool collected and a true pleasure for the ears as always.

That's a lot of work, for sure! Great progress.

Chad, I just realized somehow I wasn't subscribed to your channel, that mistake has been remedied!! Thank you for always stepping up to help Paul and especially Ed!! Top Man!!

This video makes me appreciate what goes into wiring and how easy it is to take it for granted.

Thank you for your contribution to the Golden Nugget! It wouldn't be the same without your expertise. Happy Father's Day!

LOVE the hole saw tip. Thank you, thank you!

Thanks for helping with Ed's Suzuki "GOLD NUGGET". That was a lot of wiring to do.

I love wiring with the exception of the fact most people don't know how time consuming it really is great work. And I love to Lego engines too

For those of you who are unaware, the Buick 215 bolts right into a Chevy Vega. The motor mounts fit and the bell housing has the same bolt pattern and crank crank centre. Vauxhall designed and built the Vega. It was designed around the 215. The plan was to introduce the Vega and then a year or two later come out with a V8 version. The 215 is only about 20 pounds heavier than the 4 cylinder so handling and brakes were not affected very much at all. The only physical change to the Vega was the heater housing had to be removed and the heater core had to be swapped end for end as the outlets hit the valve cover. The inside of the housing actually has the different hole centre's marked on the inside. Unfortunately the Vega did not sell well when it was found that the 4 banger was junk and they discontinued it before the V8 could go in. I built one for a retired school teacher in the 70's when her motor cratered. She loved the car for two reasons. First, it would pull her small vacation trailer. Second, she could eat unsuspecting pony cars off the lights easily and when they asked what she had under the hood the other drivers wanted to see it immediately.

Chad, your the man & like the way you just get stuck in & do an excellent job each time, keep up the great work that not many understand how intricate these jobs can be... 👏 👌 👍

Love the comradery of all the participants! It's good to have the "Professor" on hand to make it work.

Thanks Chad for helping bringing N.ugget to life

Great Job 👍

Amazing amount of work to wire such a small unit but you do it so well. Fun to watch ... Cheers

Nice to see lights at the end of your tunnel. Bravo!

holesaw in the holesaw trick for enlarging a hole is such a great idea. You've earned a subscriber in me with that one

Chad you are very detail oriented. Love the patience you have. I would have lost my mind doing that job.

That tool tip with the hole saw was a winner! I'll use that for sure next time I need to resize a hole. I was wondering wondering how you cut that without skipping.

That WTF??? moment at 19:25 lol. For some reason I like wiring and watching this come together

You know, Chad and his kids come across as really nice people. That, and they know what they are doing when it comes to wiring Ed’s Gold Nugget! I’m glad I found your channel!

Getting ever closer to the final on the great G.N. project. It's unbelievable the number of living and helpful hands and talents that haved touched and improved the golden nugget. It might be the most expensive vehicle in it's class ever.

Awesome work as always it was good to meet you

This has to be the most loved Suzuki in the world at this point in time.

Great content and family! Thank you.
