1938 Ford Cabriolet - Part 10: Tunnel and Front Floors

Creating the tunnel over the driveshaft and fabricating a front floor under the dash out of sheet metal.
- Using a slip roll machine to curve sheet metal to give clearance and cover the drive shaft.
- Cutting and cleaning parts of the original floor to give good area to weld to.
- Using the power hammer and shrinker to form panels to cover the transmission.
- Welding together all the shaped panels and then welding them to the existing floor of the car.
- Using a hydraulic hole punch to cut holes out of the panels for the automatic transmission pedal set up and bead rolling those panels before bolting them down under the feet and pedals.

Clean welds and you even smooth out the metal getting it straight and clean . I’ve seen other shops that weld layers of metal on top of each other then Bondi it all up . Quality work keep it up love the videos .

A total joy to watch. How cool would it be to apprentice under you. Such a character.

[@douglasaparecido915]

A arte em metal ✌️🇧🇷👏👏👏

[@andrekocsis2215]

Dude, I know your vid is like 3 years old, but I just needed to give you a suggestion... Did you ever get yourself an electric shear? It would save you alot of time over tin snips. No need to straighten waves and stuff that the tin snips leave behind. And you save yourself alot of muscle pain when you need to do many cuts as when you need to adjust for a better fit. Just a suggestion. 😉

[@winfordtice1969]

To Mr bellows I have a 1959 Buick Electra not to 225 if I have the money to do whatever with it I would give you a call but I'm busted but I still have the car love watching your show learn a lot

[@cryptocontrarian6150]

Yo, that fuckin piece he made to cover the tranny and shifter is art. Great job, homie. I think I need you to bless my project with your creativity. I'll hit you up soon.

[@albegt98]

[@timmccreery6597]

The original right hand floorboard had two holes because one was for the clutch pedal. Automatic? No need for a clutch pedal...

[@michaelcruz1125]

What gauge metal do you use to patch in the floor ?

[@mc4492]

10

[@sonteomedia]

I was about to ask this question, what thickness gauge is being used on the floor? Thanks for asking and answering too.

[@jeremyhanna3852]

I just realized this car is right hand drive

[@mikepandelos9090]

You had that floor figured out the whole time

[@deandee8082]

hoping I'd get to see you put the boot ring chimney on it or "console" as they call it.. lol .. did you make it a level flat top where the boot ring bolts on or does it wrap around the tunnel? very fookin cool tho the ribbing for added integrity beefing the metal up is tops, way better than what was there before but honestly the owner should have had you do the entire floor pan, cough up the cash and do it.. install inspection plates so forth where you cut holes, weep hole divots the works, perfectly sealed pan.. still a huge improvement now the carpet will look right but from below its going to look wrong, with new on old..

[@Bob0sModelFabWorx]

Just wow. Awesome sauce even.

[@robertdrown8047]
