Hey guys if you get a comment from “me” asking for personal info or saying you win something ignore it it’s not me I don’t ask for personal info like that it’s a scammer!

Do you two ever argue? It seems like you never have harsh words in your videos. That's not human. Your Dad seems like he has the patience of Job. He has done a great job of transferring his knowledge to you. It's really fun to watch you guys work.

This is one of the BEST video illustrations of how to replace/build vehicle floors! You three (yes, Supervisor Boo, too!) show the true VALUE of having the BEST LIGHTING! It's so boring to watch other folks monkeying around with floors....in near darkness! That Arizona sun is your friend in the lighting department. I was transfixed to watch you all. It was PLAIN AS DAY to see what you were doing and see how your were thinking and planning as you went along! Simply outstanding video! Aloha!

I can’t stop watching the El Camino build. Seriously, love watching. One thing that would help me in the future is to put the episode number in the title.

I used to love doing metal work when it came to fixing up old cars. Unfortounantly a accident when I was younger I lost all that memory on how to do it. I still try but my skills are not there anymore.

[@walterrobbins4470]

Your explanation of making the corners that curve up is pretty good. Flat pattern layouts incorporate practical trigonometry

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

Well done on the job of explanation and repair. My dad had it 4 door belair 1960. You always did love that car and I asked him one day how a few years ago why you stopped driving it. He said he's afraid he's going to fall through floorboards!! He never did get around to fixing those floorboards. It still sits out by the barn because it had a brand new GM replacement windshield put in it that was New Old stock back in the 80s. . He had looked long and hard to find one and it seems to be easier to find replacement parts now that we have the internet. Well I like your fancy metal working tools. A large jaw vice grip rail section and a two-by-four. Years gone by we've been known to use two of those two-by-fours. Those rail sections of handy. Good see somebody using creativity.

[@geion54]

Great to see these hands-on fabrication videos.

[@johndonlon1611]

Frugality and technical expertise allows the money to go for other things. Great video'; thanks for sharing.

[@martinvs6415]

I love what you are doing. I could honestly watch this all day. Of course the metal floor bought from the catalogue would be easier and more expensive, but all that fabricating skill would have gone to waste. You both rock on the cutting and welding the bends in the pans. We used to put in metal with self tappers and fibreglass/Bondo the seams and get away with it, but now they changed it to having to be welded in and all metal. NO SCREWS! You could try some of that rust restore stuff in those channels. It is an acid and turns rusty metal black, restoring it to some stronger metal again. Forget what it is called. Subscribed and ready for the next one.

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you Travis for the interesting content.

[@billywird]

Yes sir that project is coming along and it shows the viewers that this work can be accomplished with a few tools and not so much sheet metal fabrication experience. I would suggest that you shine up the old metal where you are butt welding the newer steel in (just clean it up with one of those layered sanding wheels instead of a grinding wheel although I have used the edge of a cut off wheel, but just do not make it any thinner) it may yield less popping as the old rusted steel will pop when heated. I have a 68 El Camino and the rusted out sections of the floor were the same (mainly due to leakage at he back window and leakage coming in from the front cowl section around both the front and back windows) I cut the pieces out of a 69 coupe and of course the rear sections were not the same and I had to piece them up. At the time the pieces were available rather inexpensive and time wise I would have been ahead of the game to order those pieces and install them as I spent a lot of time welding and grinding on those floors. I would suggest that you leak test the car and repair those areas that allow water to get in on the floors (of course had I done that I would have had to do more repairs but it is what it is). Like most people who do these repairs and of course have these channels there are all kinds of levels of experience and of course levels of equipment and well everybody has to start somewhere and your efforts are showing to those who are getting into this stuff that they can learn things and of course the bottom line is working with your hands. Of course two thumbs up to you and your Dad.
