I’ve been hard at work replacing the floor pans in my 64 Impala, and shot video of the whole thing. So far I’ve got 2 hours of floor pan replacement shots that catch plenty of detail on how to get the job done.<\/p>\n

I spent a fair amount of time capturing the details on how I dealt with most of the challenges. Some of them I expected to run into and some I didn’t . I’m not going to spill the beans just yet. When I’m done with the post production stuff, I’ll put some small segments on the website but I’m reserving the big stuff for a DVD I’ll be soming out with in the fall.<\/p>\n

I put a lot of thought into trying to make sure I didn’t use tools in the process of doing the floor pan replacement that would be a great cost to the average person. After all, the idea here is to demonstrate how anyone can do a good job without a lot of expensive tools and equipment. This meant that I took more time getting the floor pan replacement done since I resisted the urge to pull out the air tools and the torches.<\/p>\n

I also made use of a few techniques I picked up from some of the metal shaping video DVD’s as well. It’s nothing difficult, and I explain what I’m doing as I work the metal.<\/p>\n

Here’s a snippet that’ll play in Windows Media Player.<\/p>\n
