Dang batman that's wild to see so much of the car apart and to puzzle this car back together and how much time it takes and the patience and dedication to detail I truly appreciate your skills brother 👍.
@@guzzifabrication3448 big time brother that's what happens so many people start and then it get so huge, people do not know where to start so then get frustrated and lose interest then let the ride rot or sell it

Question… would it have been easier to get the floor installed in sections verses on big piece ? Maybe those rolled up sides would not have been an issue that way ? Just a thought…
@@guzzifabrication3448 no, I thought when you buy panels they give the option to but them in sections.. but you made it look easy sir.. you do great work. 💯

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?
@@guzzifabrication3448 Out of curiosity, your plug-welds come out looking great, mimicking factory resistance welds. Do you set you mig amps higher with an increased feed rate, or do you use other setting? I have a Millermatic 140.
Great video series. I'm replacing pretty much all of the same sheet metal on my 62. The only difference is I'm using a good frame with new mounts to hold the body.
You are one awesome dude,don’t mean that in a weird way or anything but you just do a bad ass job all the time I’m doing the exact same thing to my 63 impala it’s in the same condition that the 62 your working on is so your videos help me out a lot brotha thank you keep up the good work if I have any questions hopefully it’s ok to reach out to you for some advice brotha,,👍
@@guzzifabrication3448 oh man. So much work put in! My 62 needs rocker work and seeing your videos gave me motivation to get it done! You do awesome work!
Hey did you have to weld some square tube to make a X frame to hold the car in place while you weld a full floor pan? I have a 66 impala and I'm not sure if I have to do that before I take the full floor apart.
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. Do you have some videos of your hammer and dolly techniques?
Nice work! Im doing a 60 Impala right now. Any tips on where to get replacement quarters and rockers etc? I thought Classic Industries but theyre not much help on a 60. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
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......
@@guzzifabrication3448 Thanks for the response. I have a few ads out there looking for used parts. Im not in a rush, doing the chassis and drive train first. I have a 63 Impala SS I was gonna start on first but couldnt find the transmission I wanted for a reasonable price so I tackled the 60 instead. I will keep checking out your videos. Thanks!
Appreciate any advice. And your videos. I need to install a floor pan (from firewall to rear seats in a 62 convertible. Do you recommend installing from above or below?
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 !
@guzzifabrication3448 yes that's kinda what I was thinking(keep the body on frame) if I'm able to install from top. I also have door jamb braces. They should be out of the way. I kinda need a visual on the 4 point square brace.
@@stizo62 @stizolac from the dash corner straight back just pass the rear of the door jamb, one connecting across on both sides and one across the dash all same height as far up as possible, connecting together to form a square
I hope the the owner of this 62 impala has fat pockets to just pay for metal fab.he should just bought a solid shell ready for prep n paint for under 7k

Good job
You deserve more views. Nice job.
Thanks !
Oh man I’ve been waiting for a trunk pan replacement. That’s where I’m at right now. Definitely PPE PPE !! …great advice. Can’t wait for more !!
I know a few guys that lost an eye, work related..... I had one injury myself, out for 3 months..... I will be avoiding that in the future....
Dying to see the trunk removal
Great job you can make a shop couch with the scrap rear quarter panels of 62
Good idea !
The owner definitely hired the right guy for the job!
Thank You !
Awesome video ! Wow you just cut the back half off!!!!
We'll put it back !
👍
Nice job. great video. Waiting on the next one. Thanks !!
Thanks !
At the 6:50 mark, you can see the spacing, which is between the floor and inner wheel well.
How did you close up that spacing?
Keep watching the series..... Thanks
Are you doing part 12 installing qtr panels??? Doing a great job
Yep
Was this ever finished? I'm at the edge of my seat waiting for ep 12
getting close...
Question… would it have been easier to get the floor installed in sections verses on big piece ? Maybe those rolled up sides would not have been an issue that way ? Just a thought…
You mean cut a one piece floor pan up? easier and cleaner to repair the damage.

That's a plus ! Thanks for watching !
I replaced the frame on my 63 to bro the old one was shot out no good,im replacing just about everything the same like guzzi,
How many hours was it for the floor pan and rockers and many more for the trunk and quarters
A lot....

Hows it going very good videos brother im working on 64 impala convertible I'm trying to find out if they make the back section on the outer rocker
Thanks, try summit racing for that part

Great question, cutting out the floor in a convertible, the car must be on a frame fixture. The floor installs from the top

where is part 12 I can't find it?
Go to the playlist, part 18 is coming out Friday
What is the metal Guage in oem quarter panel? And what Guage is the after markets
18 to 20 ga.
Robert, what is the model # on the Dewalt cutoff tool you are using. Does it use the 20v battery? Thanks!
DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Angle Grinder with Kickback Brake, (DCG414B I love it.....
I'd like a working display in a mall with seats if people like me would want to watch. Maybe an audience would be distracting.
That's awesome! Thanks !
great video, doing a 62 convertible may i contact you about replacement panels?
Thank you for watching, yes I'd be happy to speak with you
where's the rest ?
Owner put on hold for the moment, we'll start back up in a month or two, thanks for watching !

it is waste of time. The decision to restore this car was not right.
