Maybe gloves tho lol

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!

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!

Man you make it look so easy. Now I want to buy a rust bucket. Lol.. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

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

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 👍🏼

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.

Really digging the content man hope the channel takes off.

Ryan is the man! Can't speak highly enough about his work.

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.

Great content dude. Really digging the ranger project

Whoa no welding, sweet work guys 👍🏾

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.

I Didn't know You Culd Get Them & Do That, So That's Awesome To Know Thanks For Showing That

Great fix on the floor.

A superb job,Damnskippy Mr.

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.

My 96 Ranger just got T-boned.... Love the content.

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.

Liking this series!

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!!!

Man, that was so much easier/faster than welding!

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.

Nice little rig.

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

Nice work

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.

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.

I came here for the weld-free floor pan repair. Great job. Thanks for posting!

Looks great

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

Safety glasses are a must! Thx nice video

Cool project

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 😆

love this guy

Great job

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

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.

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.??

That was a ingenious way to do that

Is there a story behind Fractured Rooster? Great to see the Ranger getting a second chance!!

Nice Video

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.

keep it going young man nice video lol

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

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.

Nice .. thanks .what kind of glue do u used? Do you out screws too?

Very cool

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?

Fun trucks. I used to own one I got for free. I was a good truck

Thanks bro! This helps me fixing the floor pan on my ek hatchback

My 03 Ranger has rusted through

If you wanna keep factory color, put some Rust-Oleum on there to prevent rust, but POR15 is the best

What was the name of the glue you used when you put the new floor board down .

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.

Just curious, but did it hold up even a year later? Might do this to my jeep

Nice job... what no welding glue did you use?

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.

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!

Where did you get that floor pan? I can't find one for my '02 Chevy S10

Very nice. Which I could buy those pans for my 1985 Mitsubishi L200.

Can I do this with a section of light weight sheet metal skin on a quarter panel?

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

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

What type of adhesive and 3M product used to seal the floor pans to the truck

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

Your lucky i spent 800 and shes a rusty beast lol

What did you fill the holes from the screws with? More bonding adhesive?

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.

Hey! What kind of glue you use???

One minute of floor pan info,, great vid.

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.

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

Let the ads play. Hope you get paid!

what kind of adhesive is this ? looks like urethane
