      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!!

    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, 👍.

    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 . 👍

    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🙂

    • @RustyZipper
      @RustyZipper 10 месяцев назад +1

      Generally speaking they are all made overseas: China, Taiwan, etc., likely by slave labor or children (not joking) and mass produced. Also Who knows how many times the forms have been used so they wear out of spec over time. Almost all aftermarket parts are off to some respect. My 2011 Elantra needed a replacement hood due to a deer in the road. The hood is easily off 1/4” on each side 🤷‍♂️ That’s why is typically better to repair a factory panel, although much more time consuming.

    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.

    @johnkelly6942 10 месяцев назад

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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..

    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!
