    67 from Prince George. I completely rebuilt a 1970 nova back in the 80s. I found good floor pans at an auto wreckers and brazed them in. Great to see a perfectionist at work. Someone who takes pride in their work

    I hope after all this careful custom metal work, you can solve why the floor rotted - floor vents, windshield, door seals? You fixed that rear quarter that ended things the first time when it really didn't look possible. This is fun to watch. Thanks.

    I seen my first set of front seat floor pan's put in a early 60 mustang. We had a small body shop in our town. The owner was name was Glen. He was brazing them in .the owner of the car , his wife was a big girl ,according to Glen, she was driving to work & the driver seat almost fell on the ground, while she was driving. The reason I was there, I was 16 & put a dent ,in my dad new truck in the passenger fender, my plan was to get it fixed, before dad found out about it. Glen fix the dent & painted her ,looked perfect. However when, she was done Glen parked ,her out in the parking lot, which happen to be on the main street, dad was going to work & saw his new truck at the body shop . When I turned 18 teen ,dad cosigned 4 me to buy a new car & I will never forget what he said, son if you wreck your car have Glen park it in the back lot. I totally thought I had gotten away with it . He just grinned like a beaver & never mentioned it again.

    Hi JF, I really don't remember seeing you on Overhaulin'. Doesn't mean you didn't work there... I'm an old guy 63, watching from Gatineau, Québec. This car should be painted red and have a black factory vinyl roof, black interior.I stopped driving in March of 1988. I'll never drive again and that's my bag of hammers to carry. If you enter me in the contest and I win, I would give the car to my daughter. She's 33 and is about to make me a grandpa for the first time. Take care. Roland
