Brilliant....I've two of these in different stages....what I thought was the best car turned out to be poorer than my race version. Knowing how to separate these panels is just brilliant.
Hi, I've just binged all your videos right from the beginning. What a journey! Your skills have just come on in leaps and bounds, superb work. I see you have the support of the master (GT1900 Garage), he is also doing a wonderful job. Trust me, thee are many professionals here in the UK not doing as good a job as you are. Looking forward to all your future content, thank you for sharing your project with us.
Hey mate, thanks for the support! It videos were very basic back in the beginning haha more of a video diary style. Since then it's slowly morphed into showing the whole process. Gt1900 is definitely the master. I get alot of inspiration from him. Unfortunately now days it's often too expensive to do things the right way when it comes to car restoration, unless you do it yourself.
Bday love your work, have you looked into using a bead rolls to run along the edge of the depressions in the floor plan and then hammer the lower curves into shape
Hey mate, that was an idea however I think hammering in the lower curves after the "depressions" would distort them too much. It would be trying to shrink the sides of the depressions while stretching the curves. Not sure if that makes sense or not haha.
Your attention to detail is too good, I fixed the rust in my floor pan from the metal of another bonnet and just welded it in at whatever shap is was. 😃This was when I was 21 , a 100 years ago 🤣🤣🤣 Nice work ! Sell me the car when its finished . I'll give you whatever you want for it ! Yes I know its not for sale 😛
Thanks mate! My mission is to get all the bodywork as close to factory as possible. Nothing wrong with using a bonnet as a floor if it gets the job done and you avoid a Flintstones situation haha Not sure if I'll be selling this first one in a hurry 😂 If all goes to plan, this is the first of many more builds.
Admire your attention to detail, but cant you get replacement floor pans for a spider out of the US/Europe? then again im not sure if they're the same / similar to the coupe
Hey mate, I did have that thought initially, however the Spider floors are quite a bit different to the coupes. Maybe something to do with them being "roofless" and requiring a more rigid floor, just a guess.

Thanks! Glad I could help.
Very nice.
Thanks for the support!
Nice 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks mate.
G'day great video mate
Thanks for the support!
A true labour of love! Leaves me wondering what fun you are going to have with that Twin Cam!
Thanks! The twin cam will be getting a full rebuild and upgrade in future episodes, so it will be quite a spicy little coupe!

While you are at it reinforce the fire wall where the pedals and brake booster are as they will crack .
Very nice work again .
Hey mate, already cracked unfortunately ha
I'll be tackling that little gem of an area in a future ep.

Such a great series! Great work
Thanks for the support!
@ it’s a inspiration to get going on my own rusty barges…

Why not take a plaster cast if you went that elaborate ?
Great work though .
Could have tried that, though not sure how the plaster would hold up with the air hammer pummeling it.
@@FISHERBUILTMore so just to make a copy of the floor then use another material to use as a buck .
