Thanks for the video! I am restoring a '68 Camaro and, fortunately, the only rust I have found is at the driver's toe board and not too bad. Not sure I'll tackle the welding, but knowing as much as possible about the process is definitely a good thing! Good job!
Great video! I’m gonna weld soon so I needed help. Thank you
One of the better vids on replacing a floor pan...Nice work! Subbed.
Good job , well done
AWESOME work well done....MOPAR 4 EVER...!
Very informative. Thanks for the video. have twice vehicles I'm going to be rebuilding the floors on. There Chrysler sebrings, but have good body's, and I hate to junk cars.Thanks for the video.
So glad you found these helpful. Good Luck!
Well done and well documented. Very nice:)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thankyou for sharing have same job to do on 67 Morris Minor.
You're welcome. Good luck !
Great video.
It looks fine like u said it not going to Sema, seam sealer por 15 and some bed liner on the underneath it will look great
Nice work. Thanks for posting. Did you only plug weld or screw the one side? A little confused about the process and curious because I have a similar project in the garage.
Thanks, and sorry about the confusion. I'm still pretty much a noob at making videos, and don't always have the footage that I need. The screws are temporary, and are only used during the assembly to make sure everything fits nice and tight. I take them out after I plug weld and then weld up those holes before grinding everything flat
Thx for the ideals idk why some of these people sound like so mad for no reason Lol
Great job and great video. Very clear and well explained. Do you use "Seam sealer" after? Thx
I use seam sealer if I think it is in an area I will not be able to get to in the future. I plan on doing seam sealer at some point before final paint
What size sheet metal floor panel?
Excelente trabajo... de cuanto es el esperos de la lamina utilisada ?
This floorpan was made by Sherman parts ( part number 362-46R ). They list it as 19 gauge which is about 1 mil thick (0.0418 inches)
Were can I find the clamps
Where did you get the floor pan from?
The floor pan gods.
If anyone is going to do this using flux core just make sure you have a dc welder and use .30 wire, even better if you have an inverter welder thar way you can ground it either using positive or negative depending on the results you want
Thanks Jonathan Belanger, that is useful info. Incidentally, I'm using a Millermatic 135. I'm using solid core with 75/25 shielding gas. The unit is pretty old but I love this welder it has always performed well for me.
You didn’t remove the old pan first?
Why is the paint applied before the welding? Wouldn't it be more practical to paint it all in one go after welding and grinding is completed?
what kind of welder is that
Is a mig welder , they use a wire driven through a hose and onto the handle, and use different gauges for different procedures.
Hope it answered your question. 👍
@@MrMariow01 thanks
@@MrMariow01 is it a "flux" welder or argon gas?
Using the garage door as a back drop for painting.....&
Good job but, the video is not fully detailed. A DIY need to know step by step like the type of welder and the settings for welding the floor sheet metal. I’m say this because I know nothing about welding that why I go to CZcams for videos.
I'm mostly self taught when it comes to welding and fabrication. I make these videos to share my experience and be part of a community of like minded individuals. I'd be happy to tell you how I did things. However, most people would agree that I am not in any position to give advice or instruction on how to weld. But, keep watching and maybe we'll learn something together.
The settings are usually in the inside panel of the welder used a MIG welder I suggest if you want to get into welding watch as many MIG welding and stick welding videos as you can that's how I taught myself to weld because the people I that I know that weld always act like they are too busy and if you ever by welder don't buy the cheapest one possible because you are going to get what you pay for
Nice butt welds but I too would overlap at least 1/4 inch, drill holes, weld it all up. Time consuming but if the customer is paying good money, you make extra effort to put your name on it. This leads to more customers.
You must be renting that garage, because if it was yours, you would have not painted your floor pan in front of it, or you still live at home and you have no respect for your parents. Real smart.
Nope, It's all mine and paid for. I have my priorities straight ;)
to bocu
Any ting you waa
@@RustyBucketofBolts LOL!
I would just overlap the joint and spot weld the shit out of the metal panels. I personally would not wish to be sitting on the spot where the floor pan was stitch weld by you in the same fashion. God knows, it was a pretty impressive aesthetic work the way you did it, but hell knows just how strong, durable, solid the actual weld is. You don't even know how thick the welded seams were after your brilliant grinding and sanding.
Hey, thanks for watching. Seeing as most people drive around with holes in the floors of their 50 year old cars where the only thing between their feet and the road is a moldy carpet, I'm pretty sure I'll be safe. But, I'll definitely keep this in mind if ever you need a ride.
Well I guess you would have done a terrible body job.
Ironically enough, your repair would rot out twice as fast as his, making it a lot more unsafe.
