Replacing floors and testing its rigidity on Roadkills 1970 red Duster

roadkill guys actually hate rust and when they want it gone i get the call. this time it was the red duster which needed a new floor pan and it would be my first time doing floors on an A body

    Yeah, my dream car . I've got 2 and I've spent 12 or 13 years looking for them and unfortunately I had to realize that it just wasn't going to happen. So I've spent a year now looking for a G-body car , now I found a couple but there were total garbage. So we'll see what happens there. My dream cars which are 2 are a duster or a Nova. I've spent quite a while looking for either one, 12 or 13 years man , it's been nuts. So , now I figured I'd cut my losses and try to get a G-Body car . It's been a year this month looking, I never thought that finding one of them would be this hard .

    The Road Kill guys had the best video about tuning a Holley carb. It was on a very old Ford pickup truck as I recall. They used a fuel mixture gauge and changed primary jets, secondary jets, accelerator pump cams, squirters, etc. I may be forgetting a few. Secondary springs, maybe. There is a scene where they lurch forward in the truck but forgot the tailgate was open and the jet kit open and had to spend a bit of time digging them out of the dust.
