    Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with your videos, I've learned a lot. I'm restoring a 1965 GTO and it needs a new full floor and firewall. Is it best to replace the floor first and then the firewall so that the original firewall can be used to help properly align / locate the exact position of the new floor, or should the new firewall be installed first using the original floor to help align it?

    Very clear videos with excellent narration. This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing your technique.
    I did do some body-bending in my youth and hope to get back into it once I get the garage space. I'm hoping to tackle right side rear quarter replacement on my 67 Malibu. I'm pretty happy with the rest of the body. This series gave me a little more confidence to tackle that.

      Don't want to be the bearer of bad news.... depending on what your looking for there isn't alot of aftermarket parts being made for a '60, I did one a couple of years ago and ran into real issues finding replacement parts, it was limited to complete floor pan, trunk, rockers, quarter panel patches ( no full quarters ) out side of those parts, good luck......

      Absolutely, the is the structural integrity, especially on the convertible really want to avoid twisting or buckling, you could leave the body on the frame and use that as a fixture, build a 4 point brace or square you can do you repair !
