This floor panel will be DIFFICULT to apply.. it needs to be plug welded to the frame rail 😣

All the outer framework for the floor is complete now we're ready to start making the first floor panel. This panel specifically will be difficult to apply because it needs to be plug welded to the frame rail. If the panel doesn't sit perfectly on the frame rail then we'll have an issue welding it. So, we're going to be proactive and step bead the panel so that it (hopefully) hits the frame rail perfectly. Cross your fingers for us 😣

You always have a fresh take. That’s why I watch your channel!

[Bradydog-inut]

You are a true artist of metalwork! I say this with all sincerity as I cannot bang a nail in straight and em amazed by those with the skill and patience to do so. Bravo!

[davidchapin]

thank god Chad reads these messages, I like it when he changes his mind like making the floors out of wood to metal, great going!!

[ChristianBonney-sj]

The reason why you have a gap in the frame rail on the passenger side of the car an not on the driver's side is because there is a extra peace of metal on the driver's side and not on the passenger side, the same thickness of the driver's side, the frame rail is to high on the back of the frame rail w w miss a dayhere you jacked it up to flush it up with the square stock .love the show and never miss a everyday episode. Just trying to help keep up the awesome work.

It’s mesmerising watching you fabricate Chad, such a great team you and Jolene, and when Doug and Nathan aren’t there I miss em, if you asked anyone what car it was before you started they’d never know.

As I was using my car to drive to work on weekdays I removed the seats, cut out 3 floorpans and welded new ones in and repaired the 4th one on a Saturday with no worries about keeping them cool while welding and there was no panel warping. I put the seats back in on Sunday so I could drive to work on Monday. Floorpans and subframe structures are thick metal so you have to be very unlucky for them to warp.

Great job Maestro. Never seen someone use that grinder as good as you.

[danielplummer]

Hey Chad, Jolene, & Fina, how are you doing on this Monday! The floor is shaping up nicely Chad it will look really nice when the floor is done. Jolene great camera, video, production & floor work you do it all! Fina went out on guard duty she is such a good girl!

[PeterDowd-rb]

Hey Chad and Jolene, thanks for interesting video, Your filming is terrific Jolene. Every fan should admire Chad for his creativity and diligence.

[vwcoco]

Awesome build chad, I’m doing same thing at moment on my Vw Karmann ghia

A video in 1.5 hours. He fabricated and installed that floor panel beaded it and dropped on the subframe. Chad is not LAZY obviously. I am 58, I do nice work too. But not that fast. I have respect. I fix stock stuff. Just make it the same. He is a custom level I will not reach at my lifetime. Great Canadian
