  • In this video we will fabricate new floor pans for the custom 1953 Chevy Chicken Truck project. I'll be doing it on the cheap using simple tools, then using a mig welder to install them.

    I've noticed I never run out of welding wire when I'm not using it. On my bead roller, I welded on a bent piece of round bar to make it a tool less operation. It really makes it less of a chore. Can't wait to see the chop and sectioning. This is about as rough as a truck as I've ever seen fixed. Good job.
