I have been in the car business for a long time I'm now retired but it's refreshing to see somebody on the internet these days that actually knows what they're doing. Doing a nice job on that mustang. Lot of work
Thanks for the kind words
Great job on the floors! Its always a hard decision to cut a "new" panel because of a bad stamping! It was alot of work but so worth it in the end!!
Looking good brother. The owner of this car is lucky he found you!
It's gonna be 100% better car
This is the first in-depth replacement of floors I've seen.
I appreciate all your tips and hard work. Looks great. Look forward to seeing the rest get done.
Thank you!
Glad it helps, and thanks for watching
@HotRodGuyGarage man you ever get any sleep
I really am enjoying the work your putting into making sure this car is structurally safe !
Safe is the #1 goal
Grow channel, grow!
You starting this channel was great decision on your part. You are a great teacher and demonstrate of doing the job the right 27:00 way . For us watching, we should show appreciation by sharing this with others. Thanks again!
Weld through primer is a gift from the gods and essential for the longevity of a repair, the welds can be pretty with primer if it is allowed to fully cure before welding. In the body shops they don’t allow for curing time so I would try to time the application before lunch break or end of shift so I knew I wouldn’t get porous or spitting welds. I hope the Gentleman you are doing this work for is watching your videos so he can fully appreciate the lengths you are going to in providing him with a safe and sound motor car, 👍.
I bought weldable zinc primer, they are a little harder to find, mostly found online.
Im working withnan old guy, 89 years old, and he got a 1949 Chevy Pickup. And he is cutting out parts and all that stuff and he's teaching me good stuff. Cool to see many good restorers out there
Learn all you can from him! So many people nowdays don't want to learn and these great assets are going away.
as a fully licensed canadian auto body technician . I am impressed how strong you have repaired it , I agree it was dangerous when it arrived , not worth all the money for a concourse body restortion . Glad when owner refused to scrap it you took it on to make it safe and strong again . although not a show quality undrneath , it is reaching the goal of making a deathtrap classic safe to cruise in . Good job for what you have been given to work with . 👍
It should make him a fine cruiser to put many miles on
Man you’re a pleasure to watch work and the way you explain your process is awesome, as a kiwi like me would say good on you mate. You have enough talent there to turn goat piss into gasoline!! 😎
Thanks for the kind words!
You’re a great example of a patient and caring metal worker. Thanks for the lessons in this video. I learned a lot.
Glad someone can take some of this info and help with there projects!
I am impressed, you are undertaking a horrible job but I believe when done it will be safe and strong
Yes, and unfortunately it won’t look any different to the average person at a car show. Hence why the owner got snookered into buying this crusty box
This is way cool. There are lots of videos of people criticizing hack jobs, but you are someone who is actually doing something about it. Absolutely fascinating to me.
There plenty of these types cars on the road. Just trying to do my part to make it safe!
That looks better
There is nothing wrong with the way you're doing this repair. It looks good and it will be strong.
Always wanted to see how good body work is done. Thanks!
Really interesting to see everything involved in correcting all the previous problems. Shame the buyer didn't have you do an inspection on the car before the purchase. Thx for sharing!
you make it look easy. Wish it was that easy, I'd be doing pans in my project!
Nice resto work From an old body man, painter, from Down Under
Great progress! Nice and solid too , well done ! I’m looking forward to following your progress!
your a great teacher you help people like me do better
Much better brother. Proud of ya bud.
Keep showing up this build. Love seeing your work
That Rustang is going to be much more solid than when it was brand new!
Absolutely, anytime you can add more welds the better
That is a real nice job. The owner will be getting a much better car back
Awesome job putting the floor pan in the “basket case”! 😎
Thanks! 😊
Well done! 👏
Thank you! 😃
My heart goes out to you sir, floor pans ,this past summer my brother and I put new pans in my 86 F250 not fun what should have been a weekend job turned in a almost week long job, ended up cutting them up just to get them to lay flat, we got it done looks good,seeing this we could have saved some time with what I've seen so thank you,live and learn
My 1987 Turbo Firefly is at a body shop getting an entire new floor put in it right now. I hope their work is as thorough and competent as yours. I envy your skills. I hope to have new video to post soon.
Firefly???
Similar to your US Chevrolet Turbo Sprint but only available in Canada@@Fog66
@bryanfogle6672 Canadian market Geo Metro I believe.
Thank you for your hard work.😎
Your welds look great. that car will be like factory structurally sound. nice work 👍
Did a very well thought out repair. Everything fits that's the main focus. Good job.
Safe and long lasting is the main goals!
looking good
I like your videos they're pretty cool. You do a fantastic job 👍👍👍
Thanks!
You're welcome sir 👍
...progress is always good....
The amount of experience and restraint to make sure each weld makes the penetration needed for a strong patch. In 100 years when someone watches this video they will understand the correct pace required to complete these types of repairs using this technique for success. Great job, great job.
Penetration of the weld is definitely the most important thing!
You are a good find and your work is thorough and very well done.Bravo and keep em coming!
Thank you very much!
Great j.I wish that I would have such a structurally sound daily driver like this. It's coming along well
That car will be better than new.
Hopefully 🤞
Looks great, considering what you started with. Really enjoy watching the progress.
Thanks
Very nice work sir
Thank you
I did a full floor board on my 70 CJ Cougar. The toe boards were the worst part. I think I used the same one you did. I also had to do some of the drivers side floor board. This is looking good. The owner will be happy.
Hopefully yours fit better then this one did! I was very impressed with the quality of the toe board
That's A LOT OF WORK! But you and a lot of us knew that when you first got it in your shop! It is already much safer than it was. Nice work. Keep it up! Thank you for taking us along.
Absolutely a huge amount of work! It can only get better from here
I've been working on floor pans and a bunch more on my 65 ElCamino. All the little tips and ways to join parts is very helpful. Thanks for great video's
Thanks for watching and good luck with your El Camino
You make me feel better thats the stuff I deal with great video
Hotrodguy you do 37:11 amazing work, love watching the mustang build. Keep up the great work. If you're ever in north Carolina I love to take you out for our famous BBQ, we can talk about old cars ❤
Looking good man! back around 2008 I did front floors on our 65 Stang, ordered the metal from CJ Pony parts, they fit about the same way yours did and especially the toe board issue.
Looking good ❤
There's nothing wrong with the work you're doing there. She hasn't been that solid in a long time
Absolutely, this poor cars been through the ringer
Yes good ! all done working off the floor with hand tools as most of us would be, 👍
Don't listen to criticism. That car is a mess. Yr doing a great job. Takes time and patience to go the extra mile to do it rt. Awesome job and video.
Well said!
JThis car wasn't even that bad before the hacking, it deserves so much better than the hackery it got. Glad it's in your hands now.
They definitely done a ton of unnecessary work before. Only way to go is up!
Love watching your work 👍on the frank&stang your videos are always entertaining can’t wait to see the finished work
Thanks for watching, there's still tons to do so keep watching out for videos
As a mechanical noob, I appreciate the effort you are putting into this car. I have found a local mechanic I trust, and when he makes a recommendation, I follow it. With 50 years as a mechanic, he knows much better than I.
Thanks for watching
For what you are trying to do I think it's going to look just fine.
Nice work good to see a guy that cares about doing it right 👍
Thanks for watching
Ive done this work as a hobbyist and you make it look easy due to your expierence. I did the best work I could do and I fit panels in 30 times to trim and decide how they were going in against existing metal....and the video doesn't show how your back feels and how you smell like burnt metal when you finally get in the shower afterwards. Good video!
It's definitely a huge process. And your 100% on the burnt metal smell that doesn't ever seem to go away!
Making great progress I like the series a lot
Glad you like them!
Looks great to me... More important it is strong now...
Absolutely
Thank you for showing your work. Looks great to me and it's obviously 1000% better than what you started with
The job looks great .And its solid and safe !
Sure is!
Awesome show
Thanks for the update on The Mustang
Excellent I'm learning thanx cheers 🥂 😊
Doing a great job learning a lot thanks my friend
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching
You're a better man than me; especially your test fitting time and time again till said new floor pans fit properly
Sometimes aftermarket stuff fits good, other times it's like the passenger side where nothing lines up or fits together like it should!
I appreciate your patience!
I try
Good job.. Thanks for sharing.
Looking good
i love this, as it should be......
Excellent work sir!
Thank you kindly!
Hay looking real good great progress and most of all it will be safe to drive keep the vids coming a big hi from New Zealand
Thanks, will do!
Looking good so far, can’t wait to see the finished car 🚘
Love your work. Excellent channel.
Thank you very much!
I hope you are able to get the views up so you can do this for the guy on the cheap.
👍
Valuable information!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video content.
Liked and subbed, I commend you for taking this big job.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Good job
Very good job
Thanks
Great job cousin, now all you have to do is open up your own shop. Build it they will come is all I hear now.
This is my shop
Looking good!
Thanks!
Awesome
The ‘55 Nomad I recently acquired had new floors. I think what they did was cut the tunnel from front to back leaving about a 1” wide strip. They must’ve had a 1 piece floor pan but in maybe not wanting to separate the body from the frame they cut that pan right down the center of the tunnel making 2 full length pans (from the toe board to the kick up in the back). They took each side, laid it in and let it sit on top of the 1” wide piece of remaining tunnel. It actually made a decent replacement, cleaner than floor pan patch pieces. Feels really strong.
When I done my 57 210 I done half the floor at a time and it turned out well sounds like what they done on your nomad
I would gladly have a car with "ugly" welds that isn't going to fall apart than how it came in there. It's amazing that it didn't fold up under its own weight before.
FWIW most of the folks complaining have never attempted to fix something that far gone before, and if they did, it likely wasn't on a budget.
Hopefully he gets it woolwaxed or other good lanolin rust protection.
Appreciate this video of you installing the new floor pans. Thanks for showing that new floor pans and toe boards, plus a lot of other replacement panels are not always fit correctly. I know how frustrating it can be trying to get these panels to fit, or at least somewhat fit half decent. As you have said, the welds don't have to look pretty, just as long as they are safe. These floor pans are safe and look a lot better than the ones you had to replace. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work and videos. Til next time, have a great week.
Thanks for watching, sometimes you win with aftermarket panels sometimes you spend half a day making them fit 😄
Nice work! I'd have know problem with you building a car for me!
If you had pay full cost at the end we know you are helping fellow out
And When he said 16 hours I highly suspect it’s closer to 32 actual in shop hours and he’s only billing for 16!
Nice work, I like what you're doing, looks awesome. As I mentioned in a previous comment I'm a panel beater . You're doing everything correctly . 👍👍
Thanks for the kind words, it's a huge process as you know
A cut here and a cut there and hammer to get the edges to butt up good...tedious but totally necessary. As for the visual...it looks good to me. I saw a couple of small gaps when you looked at things from inside the wheel well but no biggie..quick fixes, the welds look good and a coat of seam sealer and paint and it will be almost as good as new.
The ill fitting panels isn't new...i doubt theres any car that repops are available for where everything lines up dead nuts perfect right out of the box. The cars owner is very lucky he has you doing this as you aren't half assing anything which is good.
I did notice those fine radiator hose clamps the prior hacks used to attach the duct hoses to the heater box...LOL
It is looking great thus far🙂
Absolutely lots of tedious work the small gaps got addressed as I was doing the final welding inside the wheel well and underside.
I don't think there is much on the car installed correctly, I haven't shown the RTV,fiberglass and hopes heater box repair they done yet
@@HotRodGuyGarage RTV...in a heater box...LOL...i can't wait to see that disaster.
@@donw3912 it's just one thing after another lol I'm glad I don't have to take much more apart
@@HotRodGuyGarageI hear ya there...the front end stuff oughta be a blast...i swear i hate idiots that don't know wtf they are doing being around cars. Whats scary is these hacks probably have drivers licenses.
Man What a rats nest that was! Dry nice work
What a difference from the booger welded, sheet rock screwed, rusted panels that looked like sheet metal taken off an old furnace.
I really hope you're not doing all of this for free. Congrats for the work
A pretty girl is usually shallow and a mess on the inside. Those welds are the opposite and make for a strong foundation! 😂
Show cars are for people that can afford to spend 5 times the cost of the car to make it perfect and will NEVER get the money back! This guy got taken but he now has a very strong floor in a driver, the thing they were built for! Nice work on this! And thanks for not letting this go to the crusher where it probably should have gone.
Nice work mate.. I found rusted frame rails so i cut the rust out and replaced it with new metal . One side almost done.. it doesn't go fast indeed , lol.
We have to cut the floors out also to get by the inner rockers.. Totaly rusted out of this car... floor was not attached to the floor suports.. just like this car..
Its a convertible so I have to make braces to..
Thanks for watching, keep your eye on the prize! Sounds like your on the right path with your convertible
Pi$$ on the naysayers... that pan, no matter what it looks like going in is not a shiv waiting to slice into your legs in an accident... A Mustang coupe is not worth a million dollars... you did about what could economically be done.... I also saw the cat scan machine giving approval to the project ! If I had been the owner, and was determined to restore that car, I'd have said put in the full pans and fix the cowl... but that's just me... the snake-s*** that sold him that car should be prosecuted for fraud... I love all the fake emblems and logos stuck all over it, and that phony hood scoop... they really tore down the JC Whitney catalog on that car.... what a waste of a gallon of red paint.... you're making the car fitting to sit in.... In a wreck, the way it was, it would have done like the Blues Brothers car in Daly Plaza in any kind of minor wreck... a few jiggered panels that are sound is a small price to pay to not get killed...
The cat scan works great if you supply it with enough treats lol
Hopefully he will put plenty of miles on it!
Great work, I'm enjoying your videos a lot. Was there a way not to section the floor and instead manipulate the subframe by lowering it a bit instead?
The angles the toeboard and floor were stamped on are incorrect for the car, the subframe would have had to be moved rearward in the car over a inch and that would have disrupted the measurements specified by Ford and made the wheelbase shorter on one side
@@HotRodGuyGarageGot it, good to know for future jobs. Aftermarket panels and for that matter even oem re-pops come with an unwritten fine print of cut to fit and file to match.
Instead of drilling all of the holes wouldn’t it be quicker to use a pneumatic punch / flange tool? I’ve got one in my Amazon list but I’m too cheap to buy it 🤣 (Astro 608PT ONYX Pistol Grip Punch/Flange Tool $78)
It sure would
