- Last video we found rotten floor pans in the $500 Ford Ranger. Today the floors are cut out and replaced utilizing patch panels and panel adhesive, no welding.
Thanks for your help, Ryan.

My kind of car guy: low budget, bare essentials; screw anything else.
Maybe gloves tho lol
Truly the best use of a situation with that camera angle! Great videos, keep it up!
I can really appreciate the ranger work, I've had about four now and loved em all. Great job brother!
Looks like a really straightforward and clean flush job. I’d be happy with that. Probably throw in a few rivets or bolts here and there just for more assurance. But looks mint! Well done!
Thanks for the video came for the floor pan. Live up in the north and my floorpan on driver's side on my truck rotted and sliced through my shift cable. Gotta get a new pan and this video gives me the courage to go do the job thanks again
Man you make it look so easy. Now I want to buy a rust bucket. Lol.. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Well done, good work. Nice to have help when you need.
Glad I started watching. Enjoying your bronco build as well. Love that you put a glass pack on the Ranger- I put one on my 68 valiant back in the 80’s and that lead me to put one in my new bronco sport 😂. Now it sounds like a bronco should.
Good video 👍🏼
Ryan is the man! Can't speak highly enough about his work.
Great content dude. Really digging the ranger project
Really digging the content man hope the channel takes off.
Whoa no welding, sweet work guys 👍🏾
I Didn't know You Culd Get Them & Do That, So That's Awesome To Know
Thanks For Showing That
I love bonding agent. I was considering using a similar product by 3m to reinstall the floorpans in my AH 3000 when I get the frame swap more complete.
Great Channel Josh. From the days when you could put in an aftermarket stereo, not integrated into HVAC, GPS. Think HB Fuller, which sells a lot of automotive adhesives, has some type of clear coating resin.
So cool to see someone else with the same proplem. My 1986 ranger has a drivers side floor pan that's almost as bad as yours. Got a floor from a u pull it joint that has screw holes for bucket seats.
I installed aluminum racing seats so now I have headrests and a waaay safer, lighter seats.
A superb job,Damnskippy Mr.
Hey what a great job you did on this video. Haha, I'm picking my $500 85 Ranger up tomorrow and starting on floor boards!!!
Great fix on the floor.
I came here for the weld-free floor pan repair. Great job. Thanks for posting!
My 96 Ranger just got T-boned.... Love the content.
One year ago I put rockers on my S-10 and did the same. I cut, cleaned all old rust off and used Epoxy to glue. Temp. screws until glue harden. Turn out good for everyday use, in fact unless you look close, can't even tell. Good job Josh.
I epoxied two sheets of scrap together and couldn't break the joint once cured. I actually ripped the metal trying. I'm a believer in it. Friggen science.
Used the same method to replace rotted roof braces in my Fairmont wagon. The epoxy is actually stronger than spot welding when done correctly.
@@wymansst I dripped a few spots of epoxy onto my concrete. I had to chisel it off and it took a fair bit of concrete with it. I'm a believer.
@@TheFracturedRooster I did the same test you did before I used it and glued two scraps of sheet metal together and had the same result. I’m also a believer. 👍🏻
Man, that was so much easier/faster than welding!
Nice little rig.
My 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 (bought at an auction) had badly rusted-out floorboards as well as rusted-out rocker panels hidden under the plastic body cladding and it just so happened that an old gas tank had similar steel strengthening bends and happened to have the same dimensions of the rusted floor pan so that's what I welded in. The rust in the rocker panels extended into the wheel wells so rather than fab 'em...I used a chisel to sort of can opener the replacement metal from a junkyard since they didn't allow torches or grinders. I'm not sure if a battery operated Sawzall would be allowed but I couldn't justify the expense for a one-time use. It has been quite some time since I've used a 2-part body adhesive since my go-to is to pull out the cheap Lincoln weld-pak 100 MIG welder but pitted glass from errant spatter taught me to ensure everything is covered well. Sorry for rambling, I may have taken a few too many head kicks, which may explain why I've invested so much time and expense on vehicles that aren't worthy.
I just bought a 1987 ford ranger and it needs a windshield and floor pans and I thought it was junk and I dont know how to weld thin metal and i plan pn doing them this way thanks for the inspiration
Great Video, wish you showed yourself doing the tap/rivets to hold the floor panels in place.
Liking this series!
Channel improving with every episode.
I started at the beginning tonight after watching you and JR work on his Audi.
Keep it going youg man! 👍🏽
I agree huge improvements every video but great from the start
great video i was going to spend $500 plus to buy basic welding equipment but i think ill try the bonding method it all gets stuffed under carpet anyway. im not trying to sell at Barret Jackson lol
Great content! Happy your doing your own channel now, can't wait for more Austin Healy. Help JR pick out his production music, yours is much better 😆
When fixing Older car, that has minor needs that I can fix, ME my farther always said, when your done it's done and as long as it was cheaper than 4-6 year car payment then it's all good. your correct 80 dollars in floor pans is cheaper than new car in my opinion plus its ford ranger parts galore. wish all floor pans i got fit like those, those were mint... bice use of Panel bond, i would leave couple self tappers in corners , then go underneath hit with death wheel nock off the tips, just for bit of extra security, i know that adhesive is strong. but still. that was nice easy fix. love those panel.
really enjoying this type of video Josh and your editing skills seem very good , sometimes additional light would help to see somethings better , not a criticism but a small suggestion you are great so far thanks
Looks good, you need some lightning scissors to cut out old metal. God bless.
dude has skills and a dialed edit. mig or even tack welder could be real sweet for that, but self tap is great too. harbor frt omni pro is super high quality , good results, about $1k. undercoat it all later, to stop rust
Nice work
thank you so much im not a welder and i think by welding if you his a gas line etc something catches on fire ,,etc its bad ,, i like the seft tap screws and the adhesive thsnk
Great video. Just subbed
Safety glasses are a must! Thx nice video
542 likes and zero dislikes - good job on the video no fluff just good content
Looks great! I need to do the same on my 88 S10 driver's side panel. Did you tighten floor panels down with Hex Self-Tapping screws? Will they stick up through carpet?
I have a Ford Taurus my mother gave me when her mechanic told her she should junk it because of significant rot. I’m an auto tech student so I was like meh, no big deal I’ll clean up the rust, weld some sheet metal to the holes and call it a day. Pulled up the carpet and discovered the carpet was the only thing stopping people’s feet from touching the ground, the floor pants are completely rotted out, some places have holes more than a foot and a half. I’m planning to cut the entire floor out and weld a whole new floor from a scrapyard car. Gonna be my first major car repair.
Is there a story behind Fractured Rooster? Great to see the Ranger getting a second chance!!
I like that you are showing the money spent “ billboard “. You should do it for the Healy. A nice trademark kinda thing. On second thought maybe not when selling it. Some buyers like to count you money.??
Cool project
That was a ingenious way to do that
Nice .. thanks .what kind of glue do u used? Do you out screws too?
Exactly what I'm planning to do with my rust bucket. How is it holdin up so far?
Video starts at 11:25
Thank you sir
Thanks
I like what you did, modern bonding technology is amazing. But if the plan is to remove the tech screws I would have used pop rivets instead and just left them in.
Looks great
Stumbled on your Bronco ii videos. Didn't realize you were in Wichita area. I should take my Bronco ii over across town and let you turn some wrenches on it.
Thank you.
Thanks bro! This helps me fixing the floor pan on my ek hatchback
Love the video man I have a 88 ranger .. please check your cowl I didn’t and it rusted my floor and part of the firewall ….leaves gathered where I couldn’t see it
What is the cowl and where would I find it?
Great job
keep it going young man
nice video lol
I'm in the middle of a 5.0 HO engine swap with my 1990 ford ranger. What I have is a well maintained 4.0 liter v6 with automatic transmission for sale. Just put a brand new AC system in it five thousand miles ago. The engine does have 252,000 miles on it and the whole history of maintenance log entries between me and the first owner. All highway miles and always ran ethanol free fuel through it.
Nice Video
What was the name of the glue you used when you put the new floor board down .
love this guy
I got say never seen nobody ever glue floor pans in before........! That's a new one definitely! Now welding floor pans in seen that done many of times.....
Fun trucks. I used to own one I got for free. I was a good truck
Yea it got stolen and wrecked later. Bummer
Nice job... what no welding glue did you use?
Here in Ont. Canada I looked up a driver side floor pan for my 1993 Chevy k1500 4x4 an it was $293 + 15% tax an shipping. As a welder by trade I can make that thing out if 14ga shap plate
Hi thanks for posting I'm planning to do this job on my Ranger 2009. instead of body repair so very thankful! could you please post your pan supplier carpet part and 3m adhesive type? What's model year of your ranger ?
Cheers!
Very nice. Which I could buy those pans for my 1985 Mitsubishi L200.
Can they still be welded in though? It sounded metal when u set in on the ground only reason I'm asking is I just recently picked up a 88 ford ranger and I got to weld new floors and cab mounts because I only got one cab mount technically holding the cab on so I'm kinda fabricating new mounts but before I do that I gotta get my floors in and I'm welding everything and seen these floor pans a good bit thanks in advanced
A easy upgrade for 2 wheel drive Rangers. If you want to run a 15 inch wheel all you have to do is find a 4 wheel drive Ranger and use the wheels. 4 wheel drives came stock with 15 inch wheels.
What did you fill the holes from the screws with? More bonding adhesive?
Silicone
Just curious, but did it hold up even a year later? Might do this to my jeep
Finally new video 🍟
Can I do this with a section of light weight sheet metal skin on a quarter panel?
Nice job, should last longer than the truck. Unfortunately where I live in Eastern Canada the only floor repair that will pass inspection is welding. They permit adhesive bonding to other body panels, just not floor pans. For what it's worth I believe that if adhesive is good enough for assembling airplanes they should be good for some floor pans. Gotta love when politicians make rules without knowing what they're talking about. You did an excellent job.
Where did you get that floor pan? I can't find one for my '02 Chevy S10
If you wanna keep factory color, put some Rust-Oleum on there to prevent rust, but POR15 is the best
What type of adhesive and 3M product used to seal the floor pans to the truck
Great stuff! I have never dealt with floor pans....why do the new ones have the 2 holes in them?
Drain holes. There are big rubber plugs that go in them.
Very cool
Hey! What kind of glue you use???
Where did you get the floor pans
sweet where can i get the 3m from?
Sorry could you tell me what kind of glue you used? Ty :)
What is the name of the adhesive you guys used?
Didn’t see you put in sheet metal screws, anyway pan gets glued in only ??? No preparation panel is something something special adhesive ( no welding ) ?? And you cut it so that it’s fits and it doesn’t overlap
My 03 Ranger has rusted through
One minute of floor pan info,, great vid.
I'm about to do the same with my floor pans but I'm about to pop rivet into very thick steel.
What type of pop rivets should I use?
I know I'm a year behind on answering this, but I just found this video. I'm gonna answer your question anyway, in case it helps someone else, too. You'll want to use full steel rivets and not the typical aluminum sheath/steel pin rivets. The reason for this is because aluminum and steel react with each other and create what's call galvanic corrosion.
what kind of adhesive is this ? looks like urethane
Dang ole fainting GoPro! Scared of a little floorb replacement. I can never unsee floorb, a floorb will forever be known as a floorb to me, all thanks to Fractured Rooster. Loving the content!
What was the 3m bonding adhesive product info?
Let the ads play. Hope you get paid!
Great video, happy to see you’ve got your own channel now! Are you going full time RUclips? Keep the content coming
4 more years until I can go full time. But that's the plan.
@@TheFracturedRooster retired from the AF in 2020, it goes by so fast towards the end.
Question for You what is the adhesive that You used to install the floor pans in the trunk and how does it hold up? Any information that You are able to share will be greatly appreciated Thank You 🇺🇸🇵🇷🦊👍 P/S is structurally sound now that You have had time to evaluate Your work.
3m panel bond, this stuff is $100 per tube and requires a special gun to apply it. I have used cheaper alternatives that use a typical calking gun with good results too.
Interesting never seen done with sealer
What year is your truck I have a 2007 ford ranger
Can you give me a part number if it’s the same year roughly
Wow , cheap of the cheap man . Glue , adhesive, looked more like you used the same stuff for the windshield, should of at least welded the floor pans in mainly on those braces . Best of luck to you
Do these exist for a 1990 Mazda Miata?
Where did you order parts from? Didn’t catch what you said. Ty
LMC Truck
2B honest my FIRST tht when i looked at it was clean around it and use body seam to glue it n call it a day..lolololo
