I'm building my 64 similar to this one, and every time I'm about to take a shortcut, I tell myself what you said... Yeah I know nobody is ever gonna know, but I'LL know. When I'm all done I want to know I did everything right to the best of my ability. Love it!
I like your work. I like how you work on places that are not going to be seen, you treat them like they will be seen because you know how the peice is treated correctly.
No matter what channel or who I'm watching do metal work,I'm still fascinated by the work these guys can do!! Can watch this stuff all day!! Great job!!👍
Another excellent job you videos are so clear and your welding and finishing are perfect I have been learning a lot thanks for these video's they are really good!
Brother, your videos and information is so awesome, and I am so looking forward to applying your knowledge to my 62 impala. You rock brother ty so much.
@@guzzifabrication3448 I will be sure to check them out. This video helped me tackle the sides of my floor pan, but how are the front and rear usually held in? Also spot welds? I am trying to wire wheel down to see but i am not seeing any that are obvious like the sides had
Awesome video! I’m doing a whole pan on a 66 C10. Bit of a different setup but overall some good lessons learned. All my inner and outer rockers and all that was gone. Gonna be fun!
Dude it looks better than stock... I'm trying to learn/gain confidence in doing my first full restoration on a 1974 Camaro.. and need to replace the floor pan and a bunch of rust repair (found it in a field)
Nice Job on that floor pan.. I would not really worry about dimples from the clamps, seems the sheet metal from the factory around the welds looked like that anyway!
Lada was made in the soviet era too. The Lada and Moszkvics has one or two same parts like carburator and some other stuff. The Lada made after the Fiat 125. The russians bought the licence the fiat 125 and he make his own. In the soviet time Hungary is the part of the Soviet union so you can buy eastern car. My family had a moszkvics 2140 car and we sell it around 2005 os 2006 maybe.

Awesome video. Thanks for being a great resource. In one of your past videos you showed us how to use a tig welder to do a spot weld. I am curious why you didn’t use that approach with the floor pan? If it could be possible the need for all of those punched holes would not be needed. Would like your feedback.
Outstanding craftsmanship sir, I subscribed and have been watching the vids. Great job brother, keep ‘em coming. What grinding wheel are you using on the high speed grinder? I’ve seen you use it a lot to knock the welds down. Also, are you welding on the POR 15? Thanks for sharing!
Just found your channel. I had a 70 GS455 4 speed car….wish I still had, but my 71 442 survived. I am getting ready to do those pans. Great video. One question: do you tack, and retail, to the point of a continuous bead when done? Thanks.
just a quick question would it have been better to spray the por 15 all the way down the rockers ? Also where do you get those magnets ? Ive never seen those thank you awsome work
The vehicle is secured to a frame fixture.... bracing inside would be a real pain to work around and are totally unecessary ( unecessary as long as the body is on the fixture )
great video, as far as the self tappers to hold down some areas, did you take that out and then plug weld the hole? since it is a through and through hole do you need to back the hole with brass to be able to fill it if you are filling it or how do you manage those holes if you remove the screws after things are tacked? thanks @Guzzi Fabrication
I have a 1964 Impala. The guy I bought it from replace the floor panel but it's not welded in. He screwed it. There is a screw roughly every six inches with occasional welds. I am restoring it now. Should I leave it or replace it and do it right? Is screwing acceptable? Looking for a pro opinion. I don't know much about cars but want to learn.
The floor is a major structural component, and must be welded in place. For what you will pay someone, invest in a welder and tackle the job yourself, you can absolutely do it !
@@guzzifabrication3448 I was leaning towards replacing it but just wanted to make sure I wasn't overreacting. Thanks brother! All of the work I am doing on my car is based on your advice. Thanks for the videos. Making a difference in people's lives!
Was that floorboard already coated when you got it? I need to coat mine and I see people use all different coatings but I'm thinking I'll use either por or kbs. Is that primer or por?
That one came with the EDP coat, I see they are selling body panels now just raw steel..... bad idea... the problem with that is how to you coat in between sandwiched/welded parts?? P.O.R is good.
@@guzzifabrication3448 exactly! Shockingly my 1962 hearse had bare unprimed steel under the floor and in the supports, I'm shocked they still exist at all. Thanks for the input!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video I’m actually going through the same process on my 63…. Do you prefer the dual action sander vs a high speed for finishing.. or is that what u just happen to have on hand. Thxs again
Hello were are you located ?I'm in need of help looking for someone as your self to fix my undercarriage rusted out very bad I'm in Los Angeles ca if your not available do you know of anyone?
It's best to install a full floor pan with new bushings to the frame first after prepping all areas. That way you can make sure of the total fitment of the pan and it's bushings to the frame. Also it's easier then to lower the body onto the frame from above. I use my ceiling lift points daily for that.

Depending on which part your adressing, usually no, I did on the frame rail but not the pan.

Didn't think about that...... next time.

If you are not confident in your measuring skills.... then yes you probably should stick with your method....
I don't need videos to boost my ego, apparently you do. 47 years in doing restorations is enough satisfaction for me.

I will try to do a video coming up on that method with that chisel.
