Loved Allen’s dry sense of humor. This really brought me back to chatting with him at Mustang Central. Such a cool guy always willing to help us Fox guys in the late 90s. Was always a fun visit.

Thanks for the great videos. Have learned a lot from your show.Going to be taking on floor pans in my car soon.

I like your humor guys,THANK YOU FOR SHARING KNOWLEDGE.

Ive tried them all....NPD has been the best by far for me.......They actually will pick up their phones in a reasonable amount of time....knowledgeable staff.... prompt shipping...good stock of items and well packaged.

It's why we work with them! NPD rocks.

69 Mercury Cyclone here, bought the two front pans but nada clue on cutting and welding. Still very cool to see how its done.

Oh how glorious it must be to be able to call up a supplier and have a new floor pan arrive in a few days! Instead of spending a week starting with a sheet of fresh metal, then a lot of bending, cutting and welding.

great show!!

Thanks so much for this video. Restoring a Datsun and i couldn’t find too many unibody videos! This is great!

Good stuff as always and that is not an easy job, good tips.

great video, i am now looking for my own rust bucket mustang

Always try to start with the best body you can find. It will always pay off in the long run.

This is the stuff I needed to hear. 👍Great video.

mine is not as bad as that one i do need full floor pan and trunk pan thanks for the tips

a bit of advice please. i need to remove the base of the A pillar on a 1966 XP 4 door sedan (here in Australia) - in doing so i also need to remove the top of the sill only and weld new steel in. the car is still in tact in one piece, and, glass etc is still in it (door removed mind you as is the front guard. car is sitting pretty on 4 wheels (no engine) - should i triangulate from further up the a pillar to the sill either side of the A - or will there be enough support in the existing car (that front screen is bloody heavy) to keep it together. appreciate your thoughts, i've been putting this off for a while and need to get off my ass.

love your video, shame about Closed Captions not being enabled for the hard of hearing

Any chance of you guys doing the other half of thia video. I'm getting ready to so this. Could really use your expertise. I know you cant just pull a car out of thin air. Lol Witch would be really nice cause if I could. I would pick one without the rust. Anyway. Thank you for your videos they have been extremely helpful.

We're looking at doing a full floor on Manic Mechaninc. But that car is long done and the business is closed.

A few spots after the floor pan was layer in show rust spots. You guys gonna go in and wire brush those spots?

There is a ton of other work to be done. We hope to get down there in the coming weeks to show some more on that install. They pulled that ahead of other cars so we could shoot the episode. So there will be more on the car, just a little further down the road.

You may have already answered this, but I didn't see it in the posts. If so I apalogise. I have checked your videos, and can not find the second half of this video. Could you send me the link to it, so I can watch it as well. Or if you could send me a link to a video to show toe panel installs that's my next step before putting in my one piece floor pan. Thank you, and really appreciate you doing these videos. They have helped me many times already on the 65 I'm building for my daughter. This is my first major resto job, and it would have taken my twice as long to do some of this if not for you guys , and Joe Daddy's. Thanks again.

First, thanks for the kind words! We were unable to get back down to Byron to shoot the pan install before the guys had to finish up. The toe boards are part of the firewall and not a separate piece, We'd use the full floor as our guide if we were going to toe board the car.

How does a rotisserie change his suggestions for jacking the car? I also have cross bracing available since I am working on a 70 convertible mustang.

Well, I am not a fan of using a rotisserie for floors. Ford sat the cars on a jig table to lay that foundation and you will lack that on a rotisserie.

It will depend on your area.

I swear there is someone ....somewhere who is putting razor blade sharpness on edges of new stampings. Cant tell you how many sliced and ripped fingers I have gotten over the years. And then the little fish hook barbs on some of the factory spot welds.....great skin rippers.

Weirdly, we were talking about that just yesterday with the new Fender we got from NPD. But not just that, we have an export brace from Dynacorn that is the same way. The upper edges are very sharp; I'm actually going to dress the edges on all those things so I don't cut myself working on the car, lol.

How much do you think an outside shop would charge for replacing the entire floor pan like you did? I have an 81 Buick Regal.

@AutoRestoMod

8 жыл бұрын

Honestly, it will depend on the shop, the location, and the amount of work they have to do to get it in there. You can save a very small amount of money by removing the interior yourself. But we can't really pin down a cost just because it can vary literally street to street.

Howd the regal go? I just got a full pan yesterday for my 78 malibu. I've watched a few videos, but so far most seem to be unibody cars. Anyway, the biggest pain in the ass is separating all the seat bracing and whatnot. Air chisel....kinda gets it started, but I've found a sharp chisel and hammer finishes it swiftly. I'm going to assume, my 600 dollar part for this task would be at least 2 grand at a shop

Where did you get the floor pan from

I replaced the whole floor with sheet metal how do I install seat

@AutoRestoMod

Hopefully you didn't do flat sheet steel. That will cause some serious "oil canning". There is a reason that Ford used the ribs. We install seat pans on this episode: kzread.info/dash/bejne/inydj8Wuk6islJc.html
