How am I going to go about doing this, or more importantly, in a very concise manner, explain to you my thinking, in a somewhat entertaining and engaging way, so that you can follow along? Now very quickly. What are the couple, a couple of the issues we're trying to resolve one big, heavy panel going into a tight, restrictive space.
Okay. The tolerances are equally as tight after all it's metal. A lot of great examples on how to do it online. I think I've searched and watched them all. Let's give a shout out to a couple of them. Jeff, from the James Freddys channel, you're a rock star, buddy!
You were able to bring that big panel in through the windshield, wrestle it into place all by yourself. A couple of different times fit it in place, weld it in your garage by yourself. Kudos to you. That's one example, uh, sheer will and determination. You can make it work.
Another way of doing it... Let's give a shout out to Roger at Mr. Fireman 164. He had access to a lift. So he raised his body up off the frame jig, with his frame jig, he was able to locate his frame rails, trunk, floor, DSE stuff, all accessible, easy to get to, away from the tight spaces of the car. Then he brought that back under the car and lowered it down.
Okay. That's not without its challenges as well. From what I gather, the floor still has to fit above the toe board and the firewall. So you have to fan-dangle it in place and twist and contort the floor in order to bring the body down and get the floor above those points.
And then the floor even has to fit into the tight tolerance here between the rocker and the like. It has to come down. So there's some challenges that way as well. So what do I got? I got my frame jig.
This is what I plan to do. So the car was originally supported on the outside rails, the outside wheels. Okay. I have leveling screws that I was able to precisely level all four corners on that jig and did much of my work up to now in that fixed position.
I've since welded on two additional rails in the middle, that pickup, the back three quarters of the car. So the support that's under the rear leaf spring,[00:03:00] the front leaf spring at the torque box, the rear sub-frame Mount the front sub-frame mount will remain fixed on the existing outside rails of the jig, the back three quarters are supported on those new internal rails. So I am going to cut these cross-members you see the white line, I'm going to set free the back three quarters and let it rest on those internal rails.
Moment of truth. I'm going to Jack the outer frame up with the screw Jack, pull it out. Let's see if it works.
Out with the old goodbye rust. Wow it worked!.
Yay. Take a look inside the car,
Bye-Bye Ugly, Now I got to come in here and clean all this up. Take the, trunk drop-offs the remanent of the wheel tubs, anchor my trunk lid supports, both sides, clean prep and in with the new, huge milestone. Come back and see how it all goes in - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Looks awesome, I am hooked, this is going to be an awesome build!!
Thanks! Appreciate you saying 👍
I usually take 2 days of procrastinating before I do 2 minutes of useful work. That’s why I have been working on my59 Apache for 20 years. But I’m loving it.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks for saying and thanks for watching! I’m enjoying the process. Want to be able to drive it next summer. 🤪
Very creative! Thanks for the shout out.
Thanks for the insight! 👍
NICE THINKING! Totally original approach! AWSOME!
Thanks! I think I was a little surprised it worked so well too! 😂🤪😂
nice work. You have great planning ahead skills.
Thank you for sharing. Great planning ahead, the new floor will really make a difference. Enjoyed.👍👀
Indeed! Thanks as always!
Wow! Very impressive! That’s a new way to do it!
Thanks Charlie… I figure it’s going help line things up going back in also. Will be able to clamp each of the rails up again in the perfect location. 👍
I can't believe that rolled out so easily! I AM impressed!
Awesome job! This is a great idea!
Thanks! Its come in very handy. Much easier to work on things with easy access.
That was very cool. Great job.
Thanks! And thanks for all the great content - I’ve watched it all. Hope you get back to posting again soon. 👍
Pretty cool idea!!
Do you have any info or videos of building your double frame jig? That is an awesome concept and I’d like to build one.
Cannot find Mr Fireman 164 CZcams on Camaro Complete Floor Replacement using a lift that was mentione3d in this video. Anyone able to locate it. I did already Google multiple ways.
